Luna was in her room fuming. "How could they do this?" Luna screamed inside her head.
She was throwing things about, while also trying to pack her suitcase. She felt like crying and screaming all at the same time. She picked up her pillow and threw it as hard as she could. It knocked over a picture, the frame shattering as it hit the floor. She walked over and picked it up.
"What do I do Greg? What do I do?" she touched the face of the man holding her.
He was tall with black hair and gray eyes, he wore a black t-shirt and jeans, and he had a snake bite. He had his arms around Luna and they were both smiling. "What do I do?" she asked the picture aloud again.
Jue was grumbling to the bushes in the garden. "This is either going to turn out horrible or it's going to work." He said to the bush.
"Jue, what's going on? Everyone in the mansion seems to be in frenzy." A girl said from behind him.
Jue turned around and looked at her; his best friend. He still hadn't told her that he was engaged to a werewolf.
He sighed, "Hey Flure." He said solemnly. How am I going to tell her? He thought.
"Jue what's wrong and what's going on?" Flure said.
Jue walked towards Flure, "Flure," he whispered. "I'm getting married," he said.
Flure smiled and asked happily, "You are? Who's the lucky girl?" she asked then she noticed the serious look on his face.
"She… Her name is Luna… she is a werewolf." He sighed.
"How could you? Why?" Flure screamed at him.
He flinched when she started to scream, "Flure this wasn't my decision! It's an arranged marriage between our families." He explained to her.
Flure stopped blowing steam and looked at Jue in question, "Why is it arranged if our kind is feuding against theirs?" Flure asked.
"They want to stop the feuding… both our families do. And I'm agreeing to it… because I want the feuding to stop too." Jue said looking at Flure.
"Is there another way to end the feud, Jue?" Flure said.
"Probably… but this would end any feuds to come between our families, and hopefully our people, peacefully. We'd be one big happy family." Jue said with a slightly sarcastic tone.
