Flashback

I looked up at the sky, letting the warm sunlight touch my fair skin and make it sparkle softly in the golden light. My eyes were downcast, almost as if I were sleeping peacefully, but I was more alert than anyone around me could ever imagine. Beside me, Maeve, the Crimson maid assigned to me, gently massaged my shoulders with careful, skilled hands, while her younger sister stood on the other side, fanning me slowly with a delicate ornate fan to keep the air moving around me.

I could hear the voices of people passing by the garden path, their whispers filled with shock and awe as they tried not to stare too obviously.

“Oh my goddess, she is beautiful! She looks like a goddess. Who is she?”

Another voice answered in a hushed tone, “Keep your eyes down. She is the dangerous woman who had the whole pack in shock a few days ago during the warrior rite, the winner of the warrior rite.”

Someone else sounded surprised. “The winner of the warrior rite? I thought it was a man.”

The second woman replied quickly, “A man? Didn’t you watch the full tournament? She is a woman, but she dressed like a man. But that wasn’t even the most surprising part. The surprising part was that when she fainted, the Alpha caught her just in time before she could hit the floor and carried her away.”

The first person gasped audibly. “You mean it? The same Alpha Damien? The cold-blooded man?”

The second woman nodded. “Exactly. If the Alpha can do something like that, that only means one thing. She is the Alpha’s woman. Except from that, she is obviously a dangerous woman. So let’s not offend her or even look at her if we want to keep ourselves safe.”

The maids whispered nervously to each other as they hurried past. I slowly opened my eyes, my gaze locking directly onto them. They flinched hard, their faces paling as they scrambled away quickly, bowing their heads deeply in fear before disappearing down the path.

I watched them go for a moment before closing my eyes again, letting the sunlight continue to warm my skin. I spoke softly, “Your friends are scared of me, aren’t you?”

Maeve, who was still massaging my shoulders with steady hands, shook her head gently and replied, “Of course not, my lady. My sister and I are not scared of you.”

Her sister nodded quickly in agreement beside her. Maeve had been assigned to me the moment I arrived at the Crimson Pack palace, and she had continued serving me faithfully. Her sister had even asked to join her in attending me. I opened my eyes again and looked at both of them with a small smile.

“You two should take a break. I really do not need all this.”

Maeve shook her head firmly, her voice respectful but determined. “No, my lady. The sun is too bright. You will get hot and your skin will darken. You need to protect yourself from the sun.”

I tilted my head slightly and looked up at the blazing sun above us. It was indeed bright and strong, yet I didn’t feel any discomfort from it. After awakening more of my power, normal temperatures barely affected me anymore. The heat felt pleasant, almost comforting, like a gentle embrace rather than something to be protected from.

I nodded slowly, keeping my eyes closed, and asked, “How is the massage coming along, Maeve?”

Maeve smiled brightly behind me, her hands never stopping their careful work as she replied, “It’s good, my lady. Thanks to the small hammer-like item you gave me. It makes everything so much easier and more effective.”

I opened my eyes slightly and glanced at the soft little hammer she was using on my shoulders. The moment my gaze landed on it, I heard my weapon’s grumpy, indignant voice echo loudly inside my head.

“Hey you! How dare you use me, the Devourer, to massage your shoulders? Do you know who I am? This is very diminishing. I might be able to transform into anything, but I have never been used in such a humiliating way.”

My lips curled up into a small, amused smile as I answered him silently. “You were the one who told me to use you for something. I am using you now.”

The sword scoffed dramatically in my mind. “Of course I did! I meant practice fighting or maybe splitting a mountain into two. I didn’t mean you should use me like this. I am higher than most weapons. This is embarrassing.”

I didn’t bother replying to his complaints. A few days had passed since the warrior rite, and so much had changed for me in that short time. My powers had grown even stronger because I trained and meditated with Devourer every single day.

My body had grown accustomed to the new energy flowing through me, and with each passing day I felt myself becoming more powerful. The most noticeable changes had happened to my appearance. I still looked like myself, still carried some resemblance to my twin sister Sienna, but I looked different now. Almost godly. There was an ethereal quality to me that hadn’t been there before. I knew it sounded absurd, but yesterday an old woman almost fainted upon seeing my face, convinced I was a goddess who had descended to the mortal realm.

The mist power I had awakened was clearly far more potent than I had initially thought.

The only thing I was truly happy about was that my hair hadn’t changed. Most people in my position would have wanted their hair to turn fully white, to be recognized completely as the Moonborn, but I didn’t want that. My black-and-white hair was what defined me. I didn’t care enough to become perfect in anyone’s eyes. I was proud to be different.

And most importantly, another thing that had become very noticeable in these past few days was how much more arrogant my new weapon had grown. Devourer’s voice rang in my head again, full of pride and suggestion.

“You’re powerful. Really powerful. You should show everyone your powers so they will fear you.”

I tilted my head slightly and rested it against my hand that was propped on the arm of the chair, “I don’t want everyone to fear me.”
