Loner to Luna

“Congratulations on your mating ceremony." The crowd surround the two lovers clapping and singing for them. Although they had done their mating ceremony, their actual wedding had not yet been done therefore they couldn't be considered a real married couple yet. Nevertheless, the entire Shifter kingdom now knew the girl to belong to him and him alone.

“Senior sister, you came." Melissa heard someone say to her gaining her attention.

Of course she had to come. She was the wolf clan successor and the girl in question was a wolf.

“I can't believe how fast you have grown. Look at you now. You are already mated. You must be very careful in the future. You know the rumors around here. If you are mated, the loners will take you away.” Melissa said but got hit instead by her mother.

“What did I tell you about talking about them in public? Do you want to get beaten again?” Melissa heard her mother ask making her shake her head immediately.

Talking about the loners was forbidden. Maybe it was because they were known to be a clan without any bottom line or maybe it was because of their king. Either way, they were greatly avoided and no one dared to mess with them.

Looking at her sister, Melissa smiled awkwardly looking for a chance to leave immediately. Just then, she found her target.

“Your Highness." Melissa said leaving her mother's side as she went to greet the crown prince.

The crown prince of the Shifter kingdom. The royal family was said to be the only ones to be able to shape shift into any animal of their choice. The rest, they could only turn to any human and the animals of their clan. She was a wolf therefore the only animal she could turn into was a wolf and any human she wanted. As long as she had their pictures or had seen them at least once, she could definitely turn into one of them.

“You are running from your mother, aren't you?” Melissa heard the crown prince ask making her nod her head while the crown prince shook his head.

They had grown up together. All the clan successors had grown up with the crown prince. After his father's reign as the Shifter king, they would rise up and assist him as his cabinet members.

“ You. What are you really trying to do? Your mother is going to spit out blood at this rate. You are too mischievous." Melissa heard the crown prince say making her laugh.

Yes, she was mischievous. The most mischievous of all the clan successors but it was because she had a very good reason to be. Her father had died early leaving her to be cared for by the other submissive mothers since her mother had gone rogue at the time. Being the only clan successor being raised at the hands of the submissive mothers, she became spoiled.

“ And I am going be even more mischievous. I found out that the hyenas are throwing a party. Of course I would have to attend.” Melissa said giggling as they took their seats.
