The bright morning sun made the whole room hot for Lucia, she had to get up and head to the kitchen. The late moon pack mother's brother was coming to see them after several years.

" Where's that dirty brat!... Lucia" Princess Aria called out as Lucia quickly ran towards her.

" Why did you wake up late, can't you see how dirty the house is?" She asked filled with rage.

" I'm sorry, my princess " she apologized as Aria slapped her and pulled her up to slap her again

" STOP IT!" A voice from the house entrance shouted. It was the Draven's brother. Lucia quickly got up and ran to the kitchen

" Uncle, what a surprise" Aria said trying to behave casual.

" So you're Aria, my nephew's wife?" Master xander asked looking at her

" Oh! Yes I'm. Welcome sir." She added as she took his bag .

" Why were you treating the maid like that?" He asked .

" Oh, that silly girl. She disobeyed me" Aria lied

" Hmm, quit to hash of you, were is Lucia she's the one I came to see." He added as he took a seat.

" Hmm, Lucia come here " Aria said . Lucia was very angry, her cheek was swollen as she got up and went to answer her name.

Xander was surprised." Was Lucia the girl you were beating?" He said as he got up with rage immediately Draven came in.

" Welcome uncle" he said noticing the dilemma that was about to happen.

" My dear boy made a very big mistake I must say!" Xander said as he held Lucia's hands.

" And you Draven accepted all this I'll treatment being given to the lady your mother left in your care before she passed away." He added as he looked at both of them with disgust. Lucia bowed her head down, she knew if he was gone by tomorrow morning Aria will punish her .

" Uncle my apologies for what my wife did" Draven apologized.

" Hmmm, I can see you're not yet ready to be the alpha " Xander added.

" Get my room ready " he commanded as Aria quickly went upstairs to get his room ready.

The afternoon was very terrible for Lucia, Aria continuously eyed at Lucia, she knew she was up for big trouble.

" Calm down girl, she can't do anything" Eva said as Lucia kept panicking.

" You can't be silent as she makes your life a living hell, you to are a werefolf too , you have your own rights ". Eva said as they heard a knock on the door. Immediately Lucia quickly hide in the cardboard. Eva went to open it and it was uncle Xander

" Is Lucia in?" He asked as he entered inside.

" YYes... Sir, Lucia you can come out now " she said as Lucia came out.

" Good day sir" she greeted. Lucia was slowly becoming who she never thought about. She had low self esteem and was awkwardly shy.

" Well, get ready to leave this place" he said as Eva was shocked.

" To where sir?" Lucia asked.

" I want to get you out of here, we are going to North Carolina tomorrow. Are you ok about that?" He said as she immediately hugged him.

" Yes , I'm. Thank you so much" Lucia said. Eva wasn't happy about that, only her and the rest of the maids in this house?

" But Lucia deserved good life atleast she slept in a room but Lucia usually slept in the store room with mices not to even talk about the annoying smell of the store room " Eva thought to herself as she hugged her affectoinally.

" I'm so glad " Eva said as tears rolled down from her eyes .

" Me to !" Lucia said excited.

The rest of the day was fun filled, Eva wanted to use the few hours with her to make memories.

" Why don't we go get ice cream?" Eva requested because Aria wasn't home and Draven went out with uncle Xander.

" Sure why not!" Lucia said as they both chatted as they ran down the hill. She was happy about moving to Carolina and start her werefolf journey and so was Eva to.

The morning finally came all the moon pack were present maybe Aria told them about her leave. Lucia already packed her belongings waiting for the carriage and Eva to. Aria sent her to get something and she wasn't home yet

" I think we shouldn't allow her to go" one of the moon pack said as Lucia eavesdropped.

" Yh, but she needs to leave anyways remember she's the shame of the pack" another said as they all chorused " YEAH!"

Lucia was still happy anyways, her happiness overwhelmed her immediately she heard the Taxi coming. Uncle Xander was already at the door. The other maids helped her carry her belongings, she was finally feeling like a royal reborned werefolf. But she still looked around for Eva!,

" Lucia, c'mon let's go" he yelled. The whole moon pack members hugged her even Aria and Draven. " Don't forget where you came from ". Draven advised Her for the first time, Lucia knew he never liked her that all this was pretense.

She hopped on the carriage and waved everyone Good bye. Slowly, the taxi moved . Lucia opened the window still looking for Eva Yes, there she saw at the back of Draven as she flashed a bright smile. The memories flooded Lucia's head while she closed the window. All those days of suffering and most especially she will never forget the day Draven rejected her........

The ride was fast , uncle Xander and Lucia chatted about so many stuff's. She was slowly becoming happy, she knew she was going to start a new page at North Carolina. The street wasn't busy, it was calm. Lucia loved watching the people go about their daily activities.

" So what do you want to eat?" Uncle Xander asked as the driver stopped at the restaurant. Lucia ate her favorite snack for the second time, she now saw a reason to smile again.............

North Carolina was treating Lucia well , she glowed up, she moulded herself to never remember about her days with the moon pack. Uncle Xander spoilt her with clothes, bags , shoes You Name It!

She attended a British accent class , attended the gym and she even attended a mixed school. Uncle Xander registered her in Crescent lake college a mixed school with humans and werefolves but the population of werefolves were to be hidden.

RING!!!!! The alarm ranged again for the third time as Lucia quickly got up and checked time, she was definitely late. She hurried up and packed the books on her study table inside her bag. The house was quiet which means her uncle wasn't home. The morning wasn't good for her today , she even missed the bus. There she was at the bus stop at 8:39 first period was about to end.

The hallway was quiet as Lucia thanked her stars that she meet no teacher in her class.

" Lucia! You're late" Kelly her seat partner shouted .

" Heyyya, how you doing?" Lucia asked as he sat down feeling exhausted already.

" Looks like someone chased the bus today " Kelly said as she giggled. She was a human but she didn't know Lucia wasn't.

" So, what did I miss?" Lucia asked after few of rest.

" Alright, I thought you wouldn't ask .... We had a history test" Kelly announced as she saw the disappointment on her face.

" B.....ut, you know theirs always a 'but' in my sentence" she added as they both laughed.

" I helped you write yours" Kelly said finally as Lucia quickly hugged her

" Thanks alot, you're such a good buddy!" Lucia said . " For that, we are going for the BTS concert next week!!!" She added as Kelly jumped up dragging the attention of the other classmates.

" OMG.!!, for real? But who's going to pay for the tickets?" She asked

" Me of course!" Lucia said as they hugged each other immediately principal rose walked in with a guy at her back.

" Can you tell me what's exciting you both?" She asked Lucia and Kelly.

" Nothing ma" Kelly answered because Lucia was still learning how to talk boldly in class.

The new Guy was tall and a little bit muscular, he had black pupils and he was magnificent handsome.

" Alright,we have a new student in our school and those any one have a problem with that?" Principal rose asked casually, she was normally funny.

" Alright, introduce yourself my dear" she added since no hands were up.

" Ok, I'm Edward hikkins" he said as the whole class chorused " we are happy to see you Edward"

He was seating close to our seat, I noticed Kelly started behaving flirty towards him. We both walked to the cafeteria for lunch.

" Looks like someone has a crush on the new guy?" Lucia said casually.

" C'mon, he's really cute. After all I wanna grab him before Lilly does." Kelly said as she opened her milk.

" Hmmm, good luck with that " Lucia added as Kelly kicked her from under the table. Lucia looked up and saw Edward coming.

" Call him!" Lucia whispered to Kelly.

"Ok.. Edward!" She shouted as , Lucia couldn't believe what she was seeing and guess what he looked her direction!!

" Uh, come and have a seat here" Lucia said as Kelly suddenly freezed 😂

" Sure" he said as Lucia stood up while he sat down near Kelly just as Lucia wanted.

" So what do you love doing?" Lucia asked as he looked at her. His eyes looked familiar to her but she couldn't remember where.

" I love to draw" he replied. They talked through out the lunch break.

The bell rang , lunch time was over!

" I think we're going to be best of friends" he said as he looked at Lucia but Lucia didn't want him to notice her at all😬. Kelly just acted casual as Edward went to class.

" He's really nice right?" Lucia asked while looking at Kelly.

" Yh, but do you think I'm good enough for him?" She replied

" C'mon, you're the best thing that can happen to anyone's life " Lucia said as she hugged her. Kelly was indeed glad she has a buddy like Lucia.

Closing hour had approached, the whole students were packing their things. Lucia on the other hand was packing both her books and the unnecessary things she brought to school because she was late

" Hurry up Lucia" Kelly said as she picked up a little letter that fell down from Lucia's bag.

" What's that?" Lucia asked as Kelly showed her after reading it .it was her third grade penpal letters suddenly Edward came.

" Hello girls" he said as he noticed the letters.

" What's with the letters?" He said casually.

" Oh, these are Lucia penpal letters " Kelly answered waving it at Lucia's face who was busy selecting her notes to leave under her locker. Edward took it and Kelly noticed the shocked look on his face.

" Are you okay?" Kelly asked as her and Lucia looked at each other.

" Uh, yeah I'm" he answered nervously.

" Yh, I will take that" Lucia said as she took it from his hands and tossed it inside her bag. After some minutes of silence on the road, Edward asked Lucia a question.

" Are those letters yours?" He asked making Lucia suspesious.

" Nope" Lucia lied as Kelly looked at her but she didn't say a word.

" Alright, just wanted to know." He added .

" Sooo, who's your study partner for next week study session?" Kelly said to change the topi.

" I don't know yet, what about you?" Edward asked as they stopped and waited for the bus.

" She's standing right here" Kelly said as Edward looked at her.

" See you later then " Kelly said a she waved both of them bye.

The bus was crowded as usual, Lucia fell asleep while reading a novel.

" THE KING AND I" he read out loud as a letter slipped out and fell on his lap. It was her penpal letters and what caught his attention was his name and his house adress................

Edward was surprised at what she saw , he quickly dropped it back. " Lucia, wake up I think you're home" he said as the bus stopped him right in front of his house.

" Oh, thanks" Lucia said as she puted the book inside her bags.

When she got home she immediately ran to the kitchen." Oh, goodness!" She exclaimed. There was no food at home which means she had to make another. She hated cooking . She quickly got some hot dogs and microwaved it . Atleast, that will keep her hold still she finishes her assignment.

She haven't heard from Draven since Four months now, she wondered about Eva and that silly Aria . "RING!!" the telephone rang but Lucia was up stairs. Some minutes later, she came down to turn up the air conditioner. It was an unknown number.

" Hello Lucia speaking" she said.

" Hello, it's Eva" a voice replied as Lucia's face brightened up.

" How you doing?" She asked as she played with the buttons.

" So how's life over there?" Eva asked her voice trailed off.

" Same as usual, all good " Lucia answered as she heard someone's voice from Eva's place.

" Who's that?" Lucia said as she heard Eva's voice.

" Who's that?" The person asked as Eva cutted the call. Strange! Lucia thought but she couldn't go there it's too far. Lucia kept pounding on what she heard on the phone with Eva, she couldn't try and call back they person might pick. Life was indeed cruel for Eva😓

The dark night was glommy as usual, Lucia could see birds flapping back home, the moon was already setting down each of all this brought peace to hear. She loved looking outside , she thought as the evening breeze blow her hair away from her eyes.

" Moon goodness, please show me my mate not the one that will reject me " she thought out loud as she awaited going to school tomorrow but not to show up late 😂

The regular morning but this time Lucia was up immediately it clocked sharp 5am, her uncle was still asleep. She made his favorite meal so that next time he will give her some money 😁. As she waited, she arranged her nook she came across her penpal letters but she just smiled and tossed them aside.

" Hmm, I'm actually in North Carolina now . Wonder if I could see my penpal one day, how will he even recognize me" she thought to herself.

" Maybe, you can carry a sigh board for that " a voice said as she turned it was her uncle. Up so soon, normally he gets up after 11. Lucia giggled.

" So how's the school going?" He asked as he sat down on my table.

" It's going very well, made new friends " she replied as she closed the door.

" Hmm, ..... have you found your mate yet?" He asked as he looked at her to see her expression. Lucia's face turned pale.

" Not yet" she replied as she picked up a book on the floor and putted it on the shelf.

" Is it because you got rejected?" He asked.

" Maybe that's why the moon goodness hasn't given me a new one " she replied as she sat down on her laundry basket

" No, She has already given you but the pass still controls your present" he added as he now stared at her with his Ocean eyes.

" But being rejected is a shame to the pack really right?" She asked .

" Yes, but it's not really something to hide about. I to got rejected twice " uncle Xander said as Lucia face didn't hide her expression.

" Yes, but I'm the one that decided not to go for love again" he added .

" But, you're a pretty werefolf she who would make any Alpha or werefolf happy " he said as he hugged her, she felt happy and had more courage to keep going.

It rained, the school premises were wet . Lucia walked to class as he bumped into Edward.

" Ouh, my head" Lucia lamented . Edward was heading somewhere he didn't know.

" Oh Lucia, I'm sorry" he said as he looked at himself as both of them noticed the fur that showed on hi arm. She pushed his inside the girls toilet so that no one would see him transforming.

The toilet was empty. Edward's clothes ripped apart as fur covered all his body. He looked at Lucia." Are you a werefolf? she asked wjile Edward looked at her puzzled. He didn't know se knew about him, that only means one thing.

" I saw your penpal letters, I'm Edward from third grade" he added as Lucia face brightened up as she hugged him

" OMG!, it's really you" she said excited as the toilet went pitch black. All the electricity was off. Edward looked at Lucia her hands were slowly looking like paws and behold they were hugging each other in their werefolf form. That only defines one thing, Lucia was his mate.

She was so happy and excited but she hide it just in case he rejects her. Edward hugged her.

" So , she's my mate" he thought to himself .

" I ... Edward.kings accepts Lucia as my beloved mate!" He announced as Lucia jumped with joy, finally the moon goddess answered her prayers and indeed her ways are UNEXPECTED.......
