LILA

I stare with my mouth open at the blue eyed wolf with white fur that currently has my cousin and best friend captive.

"Please let them go," I stammer.

The wolf literally rolls its eyes on me and looks at me like I'm asking the most ridiculous thing on earth.

It sighs and releases its grip on them, "i don't believe you don't recognize what your own wolf looks like Lila." a feminine voice says which comes from the wolf.

What the freak is this wolf talking about?

For all I know I've been alive for 26 years without a wolf.

"I beg your pardon?" Nic asks mirroring my confusion while Andrea manages to regain her breath.

"Listen here girl, when the moon goddess gave you a second chance I was activated to protect you so you don't make stupid decisions like you're about to."

I stand staring at my wolf dumbfounded, it means the moon goddess must have brought me back to life for a good reason if she activated my wolf.

"And what decision exactly are you talking about ? For all I know we've been protecting her just fine !" Andrea asks my wolf, doubt lacing in her eyes.

" You want her to hide away when that is not the moon goddess's plan for her. She must have her revenge on Sebastian, he has to suffer for what he has done."

I think on the words for a second, even if I wanted my revenge how would I do it when I'm sure if Sebastian saw me I'd be dead on the spot?

"How are we going to do it?" I voice my thoughts.

" Girl why aren't you determined ? I don't know about you but I'm not going to let Sebastian get away with what he did to our family. You're going to change your identity and get your revenge ! "

As soon as my wolf says this, I feel a heavy sensation as we become one and I know that she's right.

Revenge on Sebastian is the only way to Avenge my family.

•••

When I face the mirror, I feel like I'm looking like a completely different person, the only thing that makes me feel like myself is my blue eyes.

How am i going to get close enough to Sebastian to make him pay with everything he holds dear? 

Yes Nicolas is the best witch and has made me look like a different person but..,

"We have found the solution to our problem !" Nic says stepping in and handing me his phone.

"The famous Billionaire Alpha of the Hale moon pack has come with a proposition for all the young ladies under 28 years. 

In order for Alpha Sebastian to get access to all his inheritance he must be married and he is in need of a suitable bride so there will be a contest  in two and the most suitable bride will be selected.

Good luck ladies!"

This didn't sound like the Sebastian I knew but that's no longer my problem, I'm going to take part of this contest and win no matter what.

"What are we waiting for then? we have a contest to win," I smirk handing him back his phone.

•••

I didn't think it would be so difficult but the past couple do days have been torture.

If Andrea wasn't forcing me to eat food that rich people thought was nice, Nicolas was forcing me to learn how to walk in a pair of heels.

"You're not doing it right Lila, that's not how you walk  in heels, one step at a time, you don't gallop like a horse!, " he commanded.

My ankles were sprained from exerting pressure on them and I had developed bruises all around.

I wiped sweat from my forehead and pleaded, "please can I take a break?"

"Don't be ridiculous Lila, it's only been two hours. who knows how long your'e going to have to walk in heels for."

"I'm sure rich people take breaks Nic," I whined.

"Nonsense, get back to work."

We continued like that for what felt like hours until he finally felt I had worked enough but he didn't even give me a break.

Nic took us to stores for shopping but we didn't have any money so he placed spells on the store keepers so they let us take designer items from Dior and Chanel and use the dressing rooms until we were satisfied.

We finally stopped for a break and had dinner before Andrea lead us to the last activity of the day.

"Why are we in a forest Andrea you know I have trauma from here."

She waved her hands, "You have nothing to worry about girl, this is not rogue property." she assured me though i didn't feel any better.

I still felt unease creeping my skin and very jumpy from just the sounds of our feet.

"Relax girl," my wolf murmured and only then was k able to calm down.

"So we are going to be testing your strength. You're an Omega which makes you have the prettiest white fur but in order to compete against other wolves you have to be strong."

"So how can I build my strength then?"

She smiled wickedly, "You run!"

My wolf is relishing the moment as we sprint around the forest but it's a different case for me, I wanted to stop but she took control and didn't let me until Andrea said it was enough.

"Do you hate me Andy?" I asked panting as I came back from the last sprint.

"No, I love you more. I'm doing this so you can secure your place and avenge your family, so if that isn't still your plan, you can quit. "

I let out a growl  as I come back to my human formi didn't even know was possible to produce and she pats my head with a proud smile on her lips.

"That's the spirit,"she murmurs.

"Now for the last activity, " she says and before I'm able to blink, she grabs me forcefully and throws me over a clif.

LILA

I land in the ground in a thud just as I hear a crack on my back and blinding pain courses through my body.

"what the heck Andrea?" I gasp.

"Relax girl, have you forgotten that you have me now ? a small fall isn't something you can't recover from in a few minutes." My wolf whispers in my mind and just as the pain disappears.

"You're so dramatic Lila, I only did that to test your wolf strength." Andrea rolls her eyes walking towards me.

If not for my wolf, I would have thought Andrea wanted to kill me because not too long ago I was wolfless so it's going to take some time for me to adjust to my new strength.

"A heads up would be nice next time," I huff dusting dirt from my dress.

Andrea smirks, "Girl, you need to always be prepared if you are going to win the contest and avenge your family. This was nothing."

I know for a fact that she was right, even my wolf agreed with her so I'm going to buckle up cause I must win this contest.

SEBASTIAN 

I stare unimpressed at the pack Elders that my mom convinced me it was a good idea to invite them for dinner.

They have been emphasizing the importance of the Luna contest and having a bride is the only way for me to get my inheritance like I haven't been hearing this since I was in diapers.

"Honey, I hope you're listening to the Elders, they give the best advice," my mom says,stroking my hand.

I force a smile to my face, "Of course mum."

The smile disappears when Elder Nicolas starts to speak again and I have to force the urge back to roll my eyes.

"You know what this pack values and everything we stand for. We don't need a weak or dumb Luna that doesn't know left from right."

I lose my patience and glare at him. "Are you teaching me or advising me Elder?."

He flinches at the sound of my voice but doesn't look away. "I'm only offering counsel so you don't make the wrong decisions Alpha."

"Well, I've had enough counsel to last my lifetime," I growl before leaving them at the table.

I didn't enjoy being reminded of my duties as Alpha, I know what is expected of me which is why I couldn't marry that betrayer Lila.

My pack deserves an honest and educated Luna and if I don't marry I cannot get my inheritance to the Lakewood Conglomerate or become CEO so I don't need a reminder of what is at stake.

LILA

I stare at the haircut that the stylist did in admiration. she made my hair curly with lots of layers like I asked her because I know Sebastian has a thing for curly hair and he used to beg me to put my hair in curls once upon a time .

"Now you look like  Luna," Nicolas said as I returned to the motel before he started giving me a lecture on the last few things I needed to know before we returned to Halemoon for the contest.

"Now when you're asked about your education you tell them that you studied Political sciences at Oxford and graduated first class." Nic says 

"What if they want me to prove it?"

His lips twist into a smirk. "You don't have to worry about that." 

In a split second I feel my head burst with knowledge of pack politics and I know that he casted a spell.

I return to the room and change into one of the fancy red dresses we stole and black seven inch heels.

"Are you ready for us to leave this hell of a motel?"

Andrea asks, coming out of the dressing room looking gorgeous.

"Hell yeah," I say feeling confident in myself as I take in my reflection.

I look exactly like what the Sebastian I remembered likes and I hope that is enough for the night.

•••

Once we arrive at the pack, the bodyguards direct us to where the opening gala for the contest is taking place and Andrea blows me a kiss before she disappears, getting lost in the crowd.

As I make my way to the seats for contestants I feel all eyes on me and I keep my head high ignoring my sweaty palms.

"Who's this whore that thinks red lipstick and heels are enough to win over Alpha?" one of the other contestants whispered as I took a seat.

"I'm sure she's as dumb as her curls, " another whispers.

"Good Evening Girls, you're all welcome to the opening of the contest. I am Nina Lakewood, the mother of our Alpha."Nina says when she enters the waiting room.

I stare at her and she looks as beautiful as I remember, almost as if she can't hurt a fly but then I remember what they did to me so I know better.

"Today, you are going to meet with the Alpha, he will get to know each and everyone of you but before you see him you will all introduce yourselves and tell me about your education and where you come from."

Each of the girls took their turns in introducing themselves while the rest that were sitting beside me continued to insult me.

Why was I always the talk of the room even when I did nothing ?

"It's because they're jealous of you. You're so stunning with your long hair and beautiful skin." My wolf remarked, making my cheeks heat up a bit .

"Thank you for the heads up girl," I say through our mind link and she hums.

"Kayla Gates, please step forward and introduce yourself to us." Nina says, calling the fake name I gave for the competition and I rise to my feet.

The whispers continue and get louder as I'm walking to meet Nina but I keep my face ahead ignoring their voices.

"You think you're the prettiest with your fake curls?" a blonde girl says before she stretches her leg and I trip on her heels, falling to the floor I feel her heels pierce my neck and I gasp as blood starts to gush.
