Chapter 4) Getting rid of her/ Awakening/ Her wolf.

I opened the door to Eleanor's room, and the second I stepped foot into the room, one of the maidservants rushed to my side and presented my diamond ring to me with a smile on her face.

I guessed right away about why the maidservant was smiling. She was smiling because she expected that I was going to reward her for finding the diamond ring for me.

Well, I guess I should reward her later, before I get rid of her too and all the other greedy wolves.

I collected the ring from her, and that was when Eleanor arrived inside the room.

'Now is real showtime'. I thought to myself, before I turned to Eleanor. She was standing next to me. "Why did you do it, Eleanor?". I asked her and could see the confusion in her eyes. I saw that she was about to say something, but I didn't give her the opportunity and added, "Why did you steal my diamond ring, Eleanor? Was it because, yesterday, I didn't instantly agree to marry your older brother? But didn't you threaten me and say that I should give you a positive answer this morning? So after all that, why did you go behind my back and steal my diamond ring? I am your Luna for crying out loud!".

"Wh- what in the world?". Eleanor was completely speechless, exactly how I wanted her to be.

It got intense as my maid servants and guards began to mutter among themselves. I could hear most of what they were saying.

They were speaking against Eleanor, but not because they truly cared about me, but because they all disliked Eleanor. Eleanor had always been acting bossy to them, so she was a thorn in their eyes.

"Guards, you know our pack's rules! Stealing your Luna's belongings means severe punishment. So, for Eleanor's punishment, I am going to banish her. She's allowed to stay in the Shadows' pack, but she's forbidden from ever stepping foot into my mansion. Take her away!". I ordered my guards, and they grabbed Eleanor and dragged her out of the room.

"Anastasia, how dare you do this to me?! I never touched that stupid expensive diamond ring! You are framing me in broad daylight! You're shameless!". Eleanor yelled at me. I could sense the frustration in her voice.

Her frustration was making me happy, because last night, after I heard that mysterious voice which made me feel uncomfortable, I left my room and entered her room when she was asleep.

I was the villainess who put the diamond ring under her bed.

"Wait!". I ran out of the room as I stopped the guards who were taking Eleanor away.

The maidservants also left the room and came and stood behind me.

"Let go of her". I said to the guards, and they obeyed me and let go of Eleanor. As Eleanor was arranging her rumpled dress, I walked towards her and stood in front of her.

Eleanor stopped what she was doing and stared at me with an angry look in her eyes. "I see you now have the guts to treat me like this. How dare you frame me? What has gotten into you? Look here, I'll give you only one chance. Tell your guards to stand down, and I'll pretend that this never happened". She whispered to me, but I didn't waver.

I brought my face close to hers and whispered too, "Oh dear, I wanted to let you go without any damage. But, I have changed my mind".

After whispering to Eleanor, the scared look in her eyes made me satisfied beyond my imagination. Her fears made me stronger as I announced with a thunderous voice, "Listen to my orders, guards! Eleanor not only stole my diamond ring, but she had also disrespected me by directly calling my name and not addressing me as Luna! She equally whispered to me now and threatened me to let her go! So, because of that, she will be banished from my pack after being caned on the legs fifty times! Take this trash away from my beautiful sight!".

The guards and the maidservants didn't move a single muscle.

They stood still in disbelief after seeing the other side of me.

I guessed they had never expected their naive Luna Anastasia to be this scary.

Well, I was done pretending to be the real Anastasia! I am Clara Hensley, the young lady who hates to tolerate nonsense behaviors!

I don't care if they suspect that I am not the real Anastasia! All I knew was that I would never let anyone who disrespected me go free!

"Have you gone crazy, Anastasia?! Do you want me to become a cripple?!". Eleanor yelled at me and tried to get away. Her action awakened something within me, and before I knew what was happening, I was in my wolf form.

My wolf form was so huge, and my claws were sharp.

The colour of my wolf was a mixture of grey and golden. And my fangs were longer and sharper than most werewolves I had seen in real life. For your information, werewolves and humans coexist. But, what made it different was because the werewolves have their own territories, while humans have their own. Though humans call their own territories cities.

Because werewolves were obviously stronger than humans, they went in and out of the human cities as they pleased. But as for humans, none of them had ever dared to step foot into any of the werewolves' territories because they knew just how dangerous that could be.

The deep and threatening growling sound I made not only scared me, but it scared everyone who was looking at me with a shocked expression on their faces. I saw how the maidservants, guards, including Eleanor, were shuddering, and I instantly understood the reason behind that.

Anastasia was said to be a wolf-less Luna.

'Be glad, Clara Hensley. Anastasia isn't a capable wolf, that was why she was never in her life able to awaken me. But you are different, Clara, despite being a human once. Hmm. It's no wonder you were chosen to occupy this body after Anastasia took her own life because of a brainless one-sided love'.

I stiffened as I heard what the familiar voice said to me. It was the same mysterious voice that had spoken to me last night! 'Who are you?!'. I asked the voice in my mind, hoping that it would hear me and answer me.

'I am Elektra. I should have been Anastasia's wolf, but since Anastasia is dead, and you have possessed her body, I'm now your wolf. Alright, enough chit-chatting. I will deal with Eleanor myself. This woman has gotten on my nerves a lot of times. I have wanted to deal with her, but too bad Anastasia could not wake me up!'.

'Wait, what?'. I thought. Just when I wanted to ask Elektra a question, my red eyes began to glow with murderous intent. My body started to move on its own, shocking me.

'What's happening?! And how did you know I am Clara Hensley?!' I asked Elektra through a mind link.

'Relax, Clara, we can discuss later. And you should know that whenever you're angry, I can automatically gain control of your body without your permission. Currently, you are angry at Eleanor. Relax and let me finish the job!'.
