“How would you like to style your hair today, Luna?” Julia asked and I looked up from my posture of a model posing for artist Julia and Anna. Well, both of them are no less than an artist.
They create true pieces of art out of me, dressing me up beautifully every day and making me forget it’s me sometimes.
“Just a simple braid will do” I told her but I knew it wouldn’t be just a simple one but a fancy braid instead.
“Luna, are you going on a tour of pack grounds today?” Anna asked sliding rings on my finger and I nodded.
The festival was finally over and I agreed to a pack tour after a two–day rest. The rest of the days went by peacefully if I do not count my fatigued body because of certain someone who didn’t leave me alone on every night of the ball.
He even ripped all my fancy dresses in the intercourse.
Jerk!
However, thankfully there were no talks of me being a half–blood among the people but I know Great Luna won’t sit back quitely.
As Damian said, all of it was done on purpose to bring me down and that trio is not the one to back down easily. They must be still planning and plotting behind our backs even now. Ugh! My mood sours when I think about them. “Are you excited for the tour, Luna?” Julia asked brightly and I didn’t say yes readily.
I wasn’t excited nor was I repulsed by the idea although I hate bothersome things which are a hassle, getting a tour around the pack is an important thing so I can manage.
However, I don’t want to dampen Julia’s spirit with a mediocre answer.
“Yes, I am,” I replied with a smile and both of their eyes lit up.
“Luna, do you like the BloodClaw pack? It might be different from your birth pack but it’s not that bad!” Anna said excitedly and I smiled.
Were these two worried for me?
“Yes, you are right. BloodClaw is different from my pack but I like it.” I smiled sincerely because it wasn’t a lie.
“Luna, don’t forget to eat the blueberry pie of Aunt Griffin when you will be touring the pack market!”
“Ah yes, don’t forget to dine at the ‘Our Food, Your Taste‘ for lunch. This restaurant is very popular and is situated right in the heart of the market”
Both of them started pouring out various suggestions for my outing before they were interrupted by a polite knock on the
door.
“Luna, May I come in? It’s time for the pack tour” Adolf spoke behind the door and I told Anna to open the door for him.
I was dressed in a floral wrap dress because it would be my official appearance as the Luna for pack people after I greeted most of them at the ball in the mansion.

I still get the giggle when I remember Jacob and Ellie’s surprised faces when they saw us. They were so astonished that th stammered throughout their greeting and some of the people who might have been in the crowd watching us even calle Ruby and Cole before apologizing quickly,
The pack people are lovely and I can’t wait to meet them again thus I can sacrifice wearing my comfortable baggy t–shirt joggers for a day but on the next visit, I will be sure to step out in my comfortable outfit.
“Yes, butler Adolf, I am ready.” I answered him before both of us walked outside the door, towards the mansion door
On our way to the car, I decided to bring items from the shops that Julia and Anna recommended if I would be able to vi
them all.
“Where would you like to go first, Luna? We will cover, children’s school, market and slave sanctuary today My brow furrowed when I heard Adolf mention the slave sanctuary who was seated beside Oliver, who was going to drive us throug the pack today.
“Let us visit the places in the order you listed,” I said, not giving much thought while the slave sanctuary stuck in my head the whole way till we reached the children’s school.
I couldn’t focus on the path as I skimmed the trees, passing people and birds on our way here because of my thoughts before I cleared it all when we greeted the principal of the ‘Alpha Pup Nursery‘
“It’s such an honour to have you with us, Luna. How can I assist you today?” The older man greeted us politely and I greete him back, warmly.
“Thank you principal but we are here on a tour today. You don’t have to be pressured. I will just meet the students and leav
We visited the nursery school for pups under the age of five today. There are higher academies as well but according to Adolf, we will cover them later.
“I will take you to the playground. It’s their playtime right now” the Principal said before he led us to the open playground where many small children were playing.
They were so adorable that I felt my heart melt.
I wanted to pinch the cheeks of the two boys who were running together in the field.
So chubby and fluffy.
“Attention everyone! See who has come to meet you today!” Principal clapped his hands and eventually, most of them stopped whatever they were doing while the other few were held unmovable by the teachers.
“Our pack’s Luna has come to meet you all” Principal said and I smiled warmly, greeting the students.
I can’t let these small peaches have a wrong impression of mine!
“Hello everyone. I am Liliana Edwards, your Luna” I said and suddenly everyone started crowding around me.
“Your dress is so pretty, Luna. Can I have a similar one?” A small girl with a loose ponytail asked, clinging to my legs.
“Hmph, why would you want such a big dress? Look at how tiny you are!” One of the boys teased her and her lip became all wobbly before she ended up crying
“Oh my!” I quickly crouched down to their height and hugged her close.
“Shh, I will bring a similar dress in your size for you. So, don’t cry okay? Aren’t you a good girl?” I soothed the baby before

she finally stopped sobbing when I gave her a candy, a teacher had given me.,

“What is your name, sweetheart?” I asked, wiping her cheek with my hanky and she answered in her cute nasally voice.
“Ashley”
“Alright, Ashley, I promise to gift you a dress the same as mine” I interlocked her small hand with mine and she finally smiled.
And what is your name, little guy?” I asked the name of the boy who teased Ashley before and he flinched, fidgeting in fear.
won’t scold you, so please tell me your name” I asked again, trying to appease him but he didn’t reply and hid behind
ther boy who was standing beside him.
His name is River! He is a bad boy!” Ashley pointed her little finger at him, glaring at him angrily.
“I–I am not a bad boy! Y–You are a bad girl!” River yelled back before quickly hiding behind a boy when his gaze met mine. “Hmm, River, will you come out and greet me? Please” He finally came out after I waited for a minute and said a mini hi.
Gosh, so cute!
“Now, River, why did you say that to Ashley? She was hurt by your words”
“I–I only told the truth and A–Ashley too said the same thing the other day. I wanted to try the belt Principal was wearing the day before yesterday because it shone in the sun but she said I won’t be able to wear it because I am f–fat!” River said and burst out crying.
I quickly rubbed his back, trying to calm him down but he kept crying.
“W–Why did she say that? Isn’t principal fat too?” He said between sobs and I helped him blow his nose in the hanky, the teacher gave me, stifling my laugh when he called the principal fat so innocently.
“Yes, yes, you are such a good boy. Don’t cry! Crying will make your eyes weak, right? So don’t cry. Our River is such a handsome little boy who doesn’t cry!” I cooed soothing him with whatever I could think of right now.
He also calmed down when the teacher gave him candy and helped him blow his nose again.
“Ashley, why did you say that? I know you are not a bad girl, so it’s okay to tell me honestly” I tried persuading her softly who was standing there with her skirt clenched in her small hands with her lip jutted out, almost on the verge of tears.
“He wasn’t playing with me that day because he kept staring at that ugly belt all day!” She yelled before her eyes sparkled with fresh tears.
Oh boy!
I quickly held her again and shushed her but I didn’t know what to do about their argument. Technically, both of them were a bad boy and girl for hurting each other and keeping the truth from each other!
If Ashley had told River that she wanted to play with him instead of calling him fat, then River wouldn’t have been hurt and kept a grudge all along and today when Ashley was taken in by my dress, he wouldn’t have hurt her instead by calling her small if everything would have been right from the start.
It’s a cycle! But how should I untangle it!?
“Ashley, River, both of you come here” I called them closer to me and they trudged on their little feet until they were

standing closer to my eye level.
These cute little munchkins!

i pinched their cheeks and told them not to lie even if I lie about 10 times a day. Well, the foundation should be strong and pure, isn’t it?
“You shouldn’t lie to each other, especially to your friend. Both of you are friends, right? If Ashley had told River the truth that she wanted to play instead of hurting him, then River wouldn’t have held a grudge and repeated the same, right?
And River, holding grudges are a bad thing!” Even though I hold quite a lot of them myself I don’t lie to my friends!
Both of them apologized and I left them to their teacher who explained them a bit more before both of them became friends again and ran around the field.
Phew, being a nursery teacher is so tough. You are reminded of your hypocrisy every second.
“The teachers and principal here are quite dedicated. It is being cared for well.” I said to Butler Adolf as I oversaw the students playing happily.
Ashley tugged on my skirt to join them as well and I played a few rounds of ice water with them.
“Did you like our school, Luna?” Principal Adam asked concerned and I smiled.
“Yes, you all are very hardworking, Principal Adam. Keep up the good work.” He beamed for the first time during the whole time I was here and we left the school after bidding goodbyes to the children.
Hmm, I will surely visit again. The children are lovely.
I was in a good mood and the next we toured the market. I tried visiting the places Julia and Anna recommended first. The market was lively as ever.
First, I tried the blueberry pie and it was mouth–numbing–delicious! It was so tasty that I couldn’t stop myself from asking them to pack one for Damian as well.
Then after visiting three shops more, we took a stop at the ‘Our Food Your Taste‘ restaurant and the food didn’t kid. It was amazing.
Feeling happier than before because of a satisfied tummy, I decided to pay a visit to Jacob and Ellie’s store, surprising them before we went to the slave sanctuary.
However, my good mood sank right away.
