Chapter One – Her birthday
Rihanna's POV
It was the Princess's birthday, she lived another year to cause hell for me.
The decorations of pink and white at the ballroom sickened me. It always had actually. It reminded me of the worst year of my life, reoccurring.
I was nine-year-old then, wearing a cute red ball gown, with my head adorned with light jewelries and a gold necklace, belonging to my mom.
Princess’s Vanessa’s was having her tenth birthday and the ballroom was filled with white and pink designs.
I crept towards the long table were meals of different cultures and origins were laid, along sides cocktails and wines.
I raised my legs to where her cake was kept, on the highest table, and gleamed wickedly at it.
My twin brother, Raymond, was in charge of keeping the little pups away from the table but he was far off outside the ballroom, watching the Alpha King invite the guests.
I knew my brother would get in trouble for what I was about doing but I had to do it. Princess Vanessa owed me everything.
I slapped down the cake, spreading it across the table. It made a melting sound and the high steps toppled to the ground.
Inside of me, I felt bad ruining it but this was revenge. I was being petty but that was all nine-year old me could think off.
Hearing footsteps from outside the ballroom, I envisioned the Luna Queen and the servants coming.
I had shifted early so had my wolf. She told me to run away but I stubbornly didn’t. I didn’t care, I wanted them to see me. I wanted Princess Vanessa to see me. I ruined her cake!
But Raymond appeared. His expression went from surprise to anger and then fear. He pulled me by the ear but I slapped his hands off.
“Serves Princess Vanessa right!”
My voice was small and light so I made a noise shouting like that.
“And you’d be served a punishment soon…” he barely finished when the our Luna Queen walked into the kitchen.
She wore a smile on her lips, which was also smeared bright red, matching her auburn hair.
Her bright green eyes darkened on seeing the ruined cake. She pinched herself skin through her white dress wanting for everything to be a dream.
Slowly, with a glare, she turned to my brother and I. Her eyes rested on my cake stained dress. I quickly cleaned it off scared as her strong aura filled the room.
“Rihanna, no!” she tried dragging my hair but Raymond pushed me aside. She grabbed him and yanked his hair but I quickly bit her hands.
She flung me easily and her claws crawled from their place, piercing my brother's neck. I knew I let her Luna wolf out. And it wouldn’t be easy to control.
I began screaming while throwing cake on her. She was very annoyed that I was ruining her dress but I still didn’t care.
I hated her like I hated her daughter. My mother rushed in, running with her blue stilettos that I felt would break any minute.
A victorious smirk was etched to my face as all the guests came in, seeing the cake and the Luna Queen. Even Princess Vanessa came in and my wolf began laughing.
“Raymond, who did this!” my father barked, he was the Beta of our Kingdom, he looked scary towering down at my brother in his black suit.
But why did he care who did it? Couldn’t he see the Luna Queen almost killing his son?
The Alpha King pushed my father aside and came in front. He’s expression changed to something different.
The guests came closer one by one, eyeing the melted cake on the ground. I noticed a guest, Duchess Vivian wearing an impressed smirk. But then Princess Vanessa burst to a wail.
I couldn’t help it and laughed along with Lana, my wolf. Everyone turned to me and Raymond looked scared. I shook my head hard while laughing so much that a jewelry fell off.
They all must have seen the cake stained on me. I laughed like a mad wolf despite everyone looking at me.
“I pushed Rihanna to the cake. It’s my fault.” Raymond shouted as the Alpha King advanced to me. I stopped laughing.
My mother narrowed his eyes at him. “Raymond, she’s the one with cake on her dress…”
“But I pushed her to it, mom.” he repeated.
He was a mood spoiler, why was he taking the blame? What would they do knowing I did it? The Luna Queen's hands were tightened on him.
“What did Princess Vanessa do to you?” she roared. Everyone stood watching. She was strangling him and no one said anything?
I charged at her and head butted her on her stomach. She staggered and threw me by my hair, mom held unto Raymond that she dropped.
“Sam, what’s wrong with your children!” the Alpha King screamed at my father.
I wanted to yell at him back, on what was wrong with his wife.
Trying to overpower the Luna was effortless so I bit her hand numerous times. I was an animal, I knew. But her daughter was a with and a bully.
The servants fought and dragged me away from her, panting breathlessly.
“Please, let her go. I messed up the cake not her!” Raymond stuttered, his small suit was already stained with dirt.
His dark hair had sand mixed with it. I glared at him and the Luna Queen.
