Anastasia aka Clara's pov
I finished eating breakfast and went to my room to freshen up. After that, I went to my office because I had so much work to do.
I was the Shadows' pack Luna, so I had a lot of work to do.
Also, I have come to accept my new identity.
Since I am now Luna Anastasia, I have a lot to do in order to rebuild my reputation and make werewolves and humans respect me. Though, I don't plan on being a Luna for long, because I was soon going to become an Alpha.
There's no way I will get married to an alpha because of the social event that is going to take place within three days. I am not ready for that.
As I entered my office, I walked toward the desk and sat on the chair. There were so many files on my desk, making me hiss. "When I was a doctor, the files weren't that many compared to this. Anastasia is lazy. I bet ever since she became Luna, she has never reviewed any single files". I said and was completely displeased with her.
If only I could meet Anastasia right now, I would have scolded her a lot.
I mean, how dare she take her own life? That's the worst thing a person could ever do to themselves.
There are so many patients in the hospital trying their best to cling onto their life, despite the slim chance they have.
Yet, some other people like Anastasia dared to take their precious life because of love. I will never be like her.
I waved off thoughts concerning Anastasia and focused my mind on the files on my table. It took me almost the whole day, but I could not finish reviewing all the files.
My eyes were red and itchy, so I shut them and massaged my temples.
'Hey, Elektra, are you there?'. I suddenly asked her.
'No. Don't talk to me!'. Elektra shouted at me before she scoffed.
She must be mad at me because earlier, I kind of fooled her, by pretending as if I couldn't take control of our body.
'Stop throwing a tantrum and answer my question. After I possessed Anastasia's body and her memories became mine, why couldn't I remember that she died?'.
'How am I supposed to know that? That's not my problem'.
I sighed, because with the way Elektra had replied to me, I knew she had the answer to my question. I thought of something, before I said to her, 'If you tell me the answer to my question, I promise not to keep you in the abyss for long'.
'Fine. Don't be so surprised, Clara. After Anastasia's memories became yours, I doubt it was all her memories that came to you'.
'If that's true, then that explains everything. No wonder I couldn't tell or remember if she had died or not. Well, I shouldn't worry. If I can't remember some other things about Anastasia, I have you to tell me. But, what about you? My memories became yours too, right? Do you know I can read people's minds?'. I said to Elektra, and was awaiting her reply.
'You can read people's minds? How is that even possible, Clara? How does that make any sense?'.
'If Elektra doesn't know that I can read people's minds, it means she is telling the truth. Just like how I don't possess all of Anastasia's memories, she also doesn't possess all of my memories'. I thought to myself, before I mind - linked her and asked her, 'Last night, why did you tell me that I would certainly reunite with my loved ones again?'.
'I only said that to comfort you, Clara. Are you happy now that you know why? Then leave me alone and talk to yourself'. Elektra said to me, and I couldn't hear her voice afterward.
'Hey, Elektra, are you still there?'. I asked her, but she didn't reply to me. I breathed deeply and rested my head on the chair. The knock on the door distracted me and made me open my shut eyes.
"Come in". I said to the person, and behold, a tall muscular guy, who looked like he was in his late thirties, entered my office. He was wearing all black.
I recognised him right away.
He was the shadows' pack's late alpha's beta wolf, Damien.
After the Alpha died, Beta Damien ignored everything concerning Anastasia because Anastasia was completely a disappointment. He willingly went to guard the shadows' pack borders with the shadows' pack warriors and was hunting the rogue werewolves, who had killed the previous Alpha and Luna.
But what was he doing here now? Why did he suddenly return?
"Beta Damien, to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?". I asked him. My eyes never left his side.
Not to my surprise, Damien didn't reply to me. He walked towards me and took one of the files I had reviewed. "You did this?". He asked me, and for a second, I saw the stunned look on his face before his look turned cold again.
"Yes". I answered him and stood up from my chair.
Damien returned the file to my desk. His purple eyes, which were dangerous to look at, were staring at me. I lost my composure because his aura was so domineering. His aura could be compared to that of an alpha.
"I see you've awakened your wolf".
His words made me speechless. How did he learn about that so fast?
Now I get it, that is why he is the beta. Nothing could ever escape his ears.
"Yes. Her name is Elektra". I replied to him. My heart was pounding like those people who were going for an interview.
"Anastasia, you have matured. You have gotten rid of Eleanor. I thought both of you were inseparable. You can even look at my eyes now without backing away. You started behaving maturely after Alpha Dylan rejected you. That is quite strange".
I became puzzled after listening to what Beta Damien said to me. I immediately asked him, "Have you been spying on me, beta Damien?".
"Yes. From time to time, I send one of the warriors to look after you for me. Because after I found your parents, and before they took their last breath, they told me to take good care of you". Damien said to me. His voice was scarier as he added, "Tell me, Anastasia, what kind of person do you want to become? If you want to continue being a naive Luna, I will never have anything to do with you again. But if you choose wisely, I will stand by your side for the rest of my life".
What Beta Damien said surprised me. I ended up looking at him with eyes filled with admiration.
The sudden outburst of air caused my long purple gown to sway.
After I thought of what to say to beta Damien, I smiled. "I want to become the strongest alpha there ever was, so that I can avenge my parents by destroying those rogue werewolves after I find them". I declared, and my red eyes glowed. Without a second thought, I could tell I was not the only one who had spoken.
Elektra spoke through me too.
I was the one who said I wanted to become the strongest alpha there ever was, while Elektra was the one who wanted to avenge the late Alpha and Luna. In an actual sense, the late Alpha and Luna were also Elektra's parents, so it's no surprise that she wanted to avenge their death.
