Luna's Return For Vengence

Chapter 4: Will You Be My Next Luna?

"Are you ready, Honey?" Luna Gladys asked Lily.

Lily smiled while looking at her reflection in the mirror. She admitted that Lily's body was more feminine and her face is more beautiful than her original body.

"Yes, Mom," she replied, before she stood up, and approached Luna Gladys.

"You are so beautiful, Honey," Luna Gladys admired her daughter.

"Thanks, Mom! You are also beautiful," Lily answered.

They both walked toward the hall of a five-star hotel, where the celebration for Lily's second life was being held.

Lily paused at the top of the stairs to be introduced by an Elder of the Blue Moon Pack.

"Let us all welcome, the Daughter of Alpha Bernard and Luna Gladys, Princess Lily!"

All the guests from various Packs across the country turned their attention toward her. Applause filled the room as Lily descended the stairs.

Many were captivated by Lily's beauty, especially the sons of the Alphas and Lunas from every Pack.

She wore an elegant white beaded trumpet gown. The gown, paired with an oversized, floor-sweeping cape, was intended to stand out by embracing a balance between simplicity and grandeur.

They gave her a microphone when Lily stood in front of all the visitors.

"First of all, thank you for coming here tonight!"

"When I woke up from the coma, I realized something—something important!" she began.

"We only live once! There are so many things we think about in life. Problems, painful experiences, and other challenges we face in the tests of life," she continued.

"While I was lying in bed in the hospital, I realized that everything that happens in life has a reason. It could be a lesson we can use in the future, it could open our eyes to the truth, or it could become our strength to face more challenges ahead."

The visitors silently listened to her speech.

"But even though life throws us these trials, we should never forget to be happy. Just smile through the problems we carry, because sooner or later, we will overcome them," she concluded.

"Once again, thank you for coming tonight, and enjoy!"

The visitors applauded.

Lily greeted the guests and shook hands with each of them.

The celebration was going smoothly. The Alphas of different packs were talking about their packs, and some were getting acquainted with others.

While sitting and holding a wine glass, a man approached Lily—it was Alpha Kai.

Lily grinned when she saw Alpha Kai, his face serious.

Lily knew what Alpha Kai wanted, but despite this, she didn't let on.

"May I speak with you, Princess Lily?" Alpha Kai asked.

"I have no problem with that," Lily replied.

"Let's go somewhere quiet, Princess Lily," Alpha Kai suggested.

The two of them walked toward the balcony.

The moon was bright and full. The cool breeze was in the air, and the romantic music from inside was audible.

"What do you want to talk about, Alpha Kai?" Lily started.

"Will you be my next Luna, Princess Lily?" Alpha Kai asked her directly.

Lily looked at Alpha Kai, grinning as she did.

"What did you just say, Alpha Kai?" she pretended to be surprised.

"I know you feel the bond between us too. I waited for you to approach me, but it seems you don't have the courage, so I decided to approach you," he replied, making Lily frowned.

"I can't believe your character, Alpha Kai. So direct to the point!" Lily remarked while looking at him.

"So, what do you think, Princess Lily? Do you agree to be my Luna?" he asked again.

"Don't rush things, Alpha Kai. Yes, I feel the bond between us too, but I need to get to know you first," Lily answered.

"Just tell me what I need to do for you to accept my offer," he said seriously.

Lily sighed, "From what I've heard, your Luna was executed, Alpha Kai," she said.

"Yes, because of her sins," Alpha Kai admitted.

"Ohhh. I also heard she cheated on you. Is that true, Alpha Kai?"

"That's true. I conducted investigations, and all the accusations against her were proven. One of the laws of our pack is that if someone cheats on their mate, the consequence is death!"

Lily sighed and tilted her head in reaction to what he said.

"Are you sure, Alpha Kai?"

Alpha Kai, confused, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I knew Luna Amanda, Alpha Kai!" she answered directly.

"I know all the accusations you made against her were false. Did you even ask her what really happened that night?" she said, with a hint of anger in her voice.

"No, right? You just accused and eliminated her!"

"Maybe there was someone who wanted her gone. Maybe there were people who planned her death, and everything went according to their plan!" she continued.

"Why are you so concerned about Luna Amanda, Princess Lily?" Alpha Kai asked, puzzled.

Lily grinned. "Nothing. If you don't know, Amanda and I had a deep connection," she replied.

Alpha Kai was doubtful. He didn't know Amanda and Lily had been close.

"Just forget what I said, Alpha Kai. Let's go back to what you were saying," Lily redirected the conversation.

Alpha Kai sighed and looked at her. "So, what do you think, Princess Lily? Will you be my next Luna?" he asked again, converting the last subject.

Lily looked at Alpha Kai. She turned to face him and gently touched his face.

Alpha Kai swallowed hard as he gazed at Lily's beautiful face.

"Are you accepting my offer?"

Just as they were in this moment, a woman spoke.

"What are you doing here, Alpha Kai?"

Lily turned to the woman—it was Brianna, her best friend!

Lily's smile faded.

"Brianna..." Lily called her name.

"Do you know me, Princess Lily?" Brianna asked, not believing that Lily knew her.

"Of course, I know you, Brianna. Amanda told me a lot about you as her best friend!" Lily replied.

Brianna's face changed at Lily's words. She couldn't recall Amanda ever mentioning Lily as a friend.

"I'm sure you're sad because of what happened to Amanda," Lily said.

Brianna glanced at Kai. "I can't help but feel sad, Princess Lily. I considered Amanda like a sister, so losing her left a huge void in my life," she replied, her voice heavy with emotion.

"Don't worry, Brianna. Since you were Amanda's best friend, I know you'll be a good friend to me too," Lily assured her.

"What do you mean, Princess Lily? Are you saying you're willing to be my friend?" Brianna asked.

Lily glanced at Kai. "I need someone I can trust, because I have accepted Alpha Kai's offer to be his next Luna!"
