The Outcast

Remnants of a Broken Bond

Mona has been improving in all of her lessons,  somehow she had adjusted to the daily tasks given by the Luna, being immune to her insults helps her best. The preparations for the wedding are on the process with only two weeks before the day.  Still,  Mona has thoughts whether she'll make a fine wife or not.  Perhaps,  she just don't feel like marrying yet, at the same time,  afraid to taint her father's reputation and be removed from the pack.  Mona didn't  have fabulous choices either so she must do the best of it. Thalia,  her wolf,  has not surfaced since the rogues attacked,  she's wondering what has happened to her.  She can't take her wolf form too no matter how hard she tried.  She hadn't spoken to her since Tristan chose her as his bride. Has she turned dormant? If that is so, it will be a big trouble.  Especially if the Luna learns about it, surely,  she'll do anything to disclaim her. 

The Luna arranged a meeting with the women's circle. A Luna must have a council of her own,  it is composed of five very eligible ladies from the pack (she can include her lady friends if she have,  but in her case,  the Luna handpicked ladies of her choice.) To her disgust, Paula and Myrtle (her avid bullies) were members of the circle. Leizel James has a seat too, which of course is making her so uncomfortable, a very rich and sophisticated yet bratty girl named Daniella Rodriguez and to her relief, Joyce Wilson (the only girl she can trust among others). Paula,   Myrtle and Daniella sure are conniving with the Luna to carry out her plans to destroy and give her more sufferings.  Just great. Get it on, baby!

She arrived in the hall, the ladies are all seated in the long table.  The Circle's purpose is to give counsel, reports,  updates and carry out the Luna's plans and projects for the pack. Also,  as women they will serve as the ambassadors, at the same time,  the backbone of the Pack,  to support and help in the Alpha's decisions and visions.  Above all,  to maintain the balance in the pack.  They will be the Luna's ally, adviser,and friend in times of troubles.  Mona just laughs at the idea that Paula and Myrtle will be her friends, the way they look at her is enough to swallow her whole.

"Good morning Ladies!  I called you today to announce that starting today,  you are officially a member of the Luna's Circle." Miranda announced to the girls, a maidservant giving out booklets to the ladies.

"Read the booklet, written therein are your roles and duties to your Luna and your pack.  You must oblige to all of your Luna's commands and help her. This time, you are more than just council members,  but sisters." Paula smirked at the Luna's last words.

"You are expected to be trustworthy, honest,  and loyal to your Luna.  Anyone who will betray her trust means exclusion from the pack."  Miranda continued.

"Now ladies,  swear your loyalty to your Luna."

The ladies placed their hand in their chest and all at once pronounced their loyalty creed.

"Thank you, Ladies. In a few weeks,  Mona here will become the new Luna of the Black Moon Pack.  You must treat her with respect and speak with her in all honesty and fairness." Mona heard Miranda's words right but it seems to be oozing with sarcasm, her ears hurt. After that,  she left them to have time for themselves.

"I am glad that I am part of your council Miss Mona, I promise you can count on me." Joyce assured her,  the three other girls just smirked.

"Yeah,  whatever... " Daniella said prickly.  She looks like a Mexican actress with her olive skin and curly black hair, she's wearing a very red lipstick and false eyelashes.  She find her pretty even without those make up but her attitude problem is overpowering her entire physique.  "I need to go.  I still have a date." she said uninterestingly.
"And for you future Luna, good luck." and off she glided out the door.
Myrtle and Paula laughs heartily.
