Mystery of Fate: Luna Della’s Second Chance
Chapter 9

Chapter 0009

Della’s POV

“Della! You’re finally back!”

Fae’s excited squeals weren’t particularly pleasant as her high- pitched voice grated against my eardrums, but I was still overjoyed to see her again. She was the daughter of my father’s Beta and a beloved childhood friend. Over the years I had left, she hadn’t managed to get any taller, her childlike stature matching her high voice and infinite energy.

Over a quick video call, she beamed at me with green eyes that shimmered like emeralds under the sun, and her striking red hair was styled in a short bob cut. Her style hadn’t changed either, since she was still sporting her signature outfit everyone knew her for, a leather short skirt and matching top that I always thought looked odd. I never said anything, though, since I knew she loved it.

We were practically joined at the hip during our days in werewolf school. Back then, I had insisted on leaving the castle to go to the Dark Moon’s lands, which made her justifiably angry. After arguing with me endlessly and realizing that I wouldn’t be swayed, she didn’t talk to me for quite some time. I had come to learn that she was right.

“Hey, Fae. I see you’re finally done with the silent treatment.”

“Of course! Why would I be mad at you now that you’re back? Hey, to celebrate your breakup with that mutt Kylian, I’m gonna throw a pool party! It’s gonna be f ucking crazy, you hear me?! I’ve got a ton of he- wolves to invite, too. How do you like ’em? Are you into hunks? Or cutesy ones or pl ayboys or… Look, just tell me what your type is and I’ll get a few for you. Maybe you’ll like all of them! Just think of the fun we’d be able to have then!”

‘Oh, Goddess above! Stop it, Fae!” I exclaimed bashfully, looking away from the screen. “We’re already holding a banquet at the castle tonight.”

“So? What’s better than an afterparty at the pool? Hey, hey, what about Ben? Y’know, the Alpha from the northern tribes. Ooh, or what about Alex? I heard his abs are insane!” She continued to ramble, falling deeper and deeper into her fantasies as she continued to list off all the Alphas who would be in attendance. If she went on for much longer, she’d start drooling as she thought of other men to introduce me to.

“Fae, listen to me. I don’t want to meet anyone else,” I said seriously. I’m sick of love. It’s all fairytales and fantasies. It’s not real.”

“What? What did that f ucking b astard do to you to make you think love is dead? I’ll w hoop him so good, he’ll be my bi tch by the end of it! Fae cursed, her adorable voice putting a strain on my speakers. She was so mad that she was shaking her phone, turning the video feed blurry. “I’ll make him pay!”

“C’mon, Fae. Don’t get so worked up. What would you even do to him anyways?” Unfortunately for me, I didn’t have much chance to talk the girl she was a woman on a mission, and she hung up mid-

three years had turned me into a different person, it seemed ough time would never change Fae. She was filled with more termination and willpower than I could ever hope to have. A chaotic Torce to be reckoned with, I prayed for any who faced her wrath and thanked the Goddess that she was on my side.

It would have been cathartic to see what she would do to Kylian, but I had nothing to do with him anymore. I didn’t even care to know what he so desperately wanted to explain about Flora.

What could it be? He betrayed me and chose her, that’s all.

I walked over to the three large racks that the maids had rolled in earlier and picked out a dress for the festivities this evening. They were all a similar style, which only confirmed that they came from the same designer and that Jackson had chosen all of them. Most were adorned with diamonds and other gemstones in intricate, gilded patterns. Each of the dresses also featured layered skirts made of lace, another trademark of this designer I loved.

I almost cried as I ran my hand over the smooth fabric of the various dress. There was one that stood out to me in particular, a gown design that I couldn’t take my eyes off of years ago. During my time at the Dark Moon Pack, my days were filled with cleaning dishes and an endless list of chores to do around the packhouse.

A dress like this would have caused much more trouble than it was ever worth, what with Margot and Luna Natasha’s constant mockery of me. I could only imagine what they would have said if I wore. something so pretty around them. And so, I dressed modestly to keep them silent and make my days just the slightest bit more manageable.

I didn’t have to concern myself with them any longer now that I was back home, so I picked out the most gorgeous dress of them all. I took it off the rack to admire it, and just as I finished putting it on, I heard the door gently open.
