A Scorned Luna's Revenge Chapter 27
A week later, Cassius’ losses started. The investment which should have fallen apart a few months from now crumbled unexpectedly. As my father and Alpha Koa pulled out at the same time, Koa’s people must have pulled out too and things ended earlier than I foresaw. It was on a cool evening a week after the stint with April. I had been sipping a glass of orange juice and flipping through a magazine when I heard Cassius’ earth-shattering scream. It was a scream so deep and desperate that it left me feeling satisfied even before I knew what had happened. As an actress, I immediately went into acting mode and rushed to his office. I was not the only one who rushed over. April also came running at her mate’s screams. We met at the door and we both paused. Her eyes flashed with anger before she lowered her head. It must have been clear to her by now that no matter what she did, Cassius would continue to hang on to me. “Oh,” she muttered when she saw me just at Cassius’ door. “I will

Alpha Slater, the Luna Queen’s brother and biggest supporter. He was a man who would lose his life and everything he had at the hands of Alpha Koa. He was the greatest support for Alpha Randal and I remember when Alpha Koa decided to take things by force, Slater was the one he cut down first. Alpha Slater had more of an influence on this kingdom than my father because he was the Luna Queen’s brother, the uncle of the man everyone expected to be the next Alpha King, and the head of a pack as large as ours. My father, on the other hand, had wealth and a name he acquired on the battlefield. Because he did not interact much with other alphas, he was a mystery to most and his fame increased with his mysterious air. My greatest asset now was that Alpha Slater was secretly my father’s fan. It was something my father knew but always scoffed at – as he did with everything so using my father’s name, I planned to get close to Slater and connect him with Cassius. The Alpha King wanted a le

“Welcome,” Jennifer, Slater’s daughter welcomed me at the door. She was a slender, auburn haired woman like her father. Her friends stood behind her and their eyes were full of curiosity. I knew their mouths must be itching to start talking about me and I had come prepared to be talked about. I would dominate the scenes from now on. I would make sure my name was on everybody’s lips starting my from now. That way, Cassius would have a harder time killing me. “Thank you for inviting me,” I said. “It’s no problem. Since you attended the mating ceremony of a nobody the other day, I thought I should extend a hand to you who seems desperate to socialize.” Mockery filled her tone and the ladies behind her snickered but I did not mind. For me to mind, I would first have to care. The important person here was Alpha Slater, not his mate, not his son and definitely not his daughter. That man was unfortunate to have a household of fools. His son was well known for harassing omega women an

*APRIL’S POV* I would be a fool to believe Cassius. How could I trust a man who said one thing and did another? Yet I was powerless. The only thing I could do was try not to anger him while also making sure I did not lose him to his so-called best friend. Persephone Adelard. Oh, what a beauty she was. From the moment I first saw her, wrapped in the embrace of my mate, I hated her. She was a woman with both looks and status, things I did not have. She was born with these things meanwhile I had to struggle for everything I had. How could she have everything yet still cling to the only thing that should be mine? She had so much so why could I not have Cassius? I hated her. I hated her so much I wanted to destroy her beautiful face and make it into something no one would ever be willing to look at ever again. How would I bring down such a woman? ‘Without Persephone Adelard, I have nothing. I am nobody.’ I bit my lips when I remembered Cassius’ words, clear as day. He regarded

*ALPHA RANDAL’S POV* Persephone Adelard. She was a beauty. A beauty that made my heart itch every time I saw her. I came all the way here today because I knew she was going to attend. Jennifer was the most annoying woman in the world so I avoided her as much as I could but today, I would endure her presence to see Persephone. I wondered if I could create a connection with Persephone today. She was a beauty but she was as hard to approach as she was beautiful. I wanted to get to know her but I knew that without her having any interest in me, I would never get that chance. “Miss Persephone, how could you do such a thing!?” I was lost in thought when I suddenly heard Jennifer’s loud and obnoxious voice. “Miss April did nothing wrong to you but how can you call her a filthy omega!” It was the perfect way to draw attention. Everyone stopped what they had been doing and turned to Jennifer who had a quivering omega by her side. “Oh, no, Miss Persephone was only telling me to know my plac

Chapter 32I had accomplished my mission with the Slaters but I still bit my lips, feeling things could have gone better. Things went the way I planned because of Jennifer.I knew Jennifer Slater would not take a liking to me. In the past life, despite how minimal our interactions were, she did not like me. She made it her mission to try to isolate me. She was the forerunner in April’s support group but rather than being a friend of April, she was only using April to get to me.In a world with Persephone Adelard, Jennifer Slater’s position was threatened.Jennifer was an attention-seeking woman. She thrived off being the social flower, the Beta that was flawless in everyone’s eyes. She had a good family and was beautiful. Her presence was always sensational but when I was around, I took attention off of her.From the very minute I came into the scene, my presence annoyed her so I was not surprised at her reaction. It was to be expected and unfortunately for her, I was coming for ever

It was rare for me to get flustered but his words threw me off guard. My lips pulled up in a smile and I wanted to laugh but I could not laugh. He was not joking. His eyes bore into mine with a resolute expression that made it clear he was serious. The Luna Queen? I could not stop myself from bursting into laughter. The absurdity of the idea made me laugh until my belly hurt. I clutched my stomach as I bent over, laughing until tears streamed down my face. “Is it such an amusing idea?” Koa asked. I raised my head in time to see his face contort with a weird expression and it only fueled my laughter. I laughed loud and long. I laughed until I had no breath in me and I was merely gasping for air. It took several minutes to get me to calm down and when I did, I wanted to laugh some more. “I never thought of myself as a joker.” Koa gazed at me with a stoic expression. “It must have been your hidden talent. Thank you for making me laugh so hard.” It had been a while since I laughed so

“Who – who did this to you!” He yelled while managing to still sound choked. “Your wrists – what – who the hell did this?” “Let go!” I tried to shake his hand off me but his grip was unrelenting. “Cassius, let go of me!” “No – I – why are these ugly scars on your hands? Where did they come from?” I did not like how shaken he looked as he held my hands without letting go. “Persephone, who – where did they come from!?” He shouted. The way his face contorted made my heart squeeze and then begin to pound. He looked like he had witnessed the world’s worst horror. Tears even filled his eyes and I could hear his heart pounding louder than mine. Why this reaction? “Cass, it’s no big deal.” I made my tone softer. “It’s just a scar I got when I fell into the rose bushes in the past,” I repeated Doctor Lorenzo’s diagnosis. “Does it make sense for these scars to come from a simple fall?” He held my hands tighter. “These are deep wounds that could not heal on time. It has nothing to do

The day had come. The day I had been looking forward to since I admitted my feelings for Koa. The day of my Mating Ceremony. My friends were gathered around me and we talked and laughed, gossiping amongst ourselves before the start of the ceremony.“Here.” Luna Evenly handed me a box. “I was going to give this to my daughter but I ended up with a useless son. Since I am on the verge of death, I would like to see it on display once before I die.”“Are you giving this to me?” I asked as I looked at the sparkling diamond necklace that had been finely polished and screamed of opulence.Its design was old, the intricate patterns on it something that the jewellers in our time would find difficult to recreate.“Why are you giving this to me? Your son has a mate.” I felt uncomfortable receiving something so precious.“His mate is not much better than he is,” she answered with a derisive scoff. “It is customary to receive things like this on the day of your mating. You have no mother to hand ov

You cannot run away from what is coming to you. Especially if Koa Deimos is the person delivering your retribution.I felt a shiver run down my spine as I watched his cruel smile while the enforcers in the hall sprung into action. The Luna Queen had her hands behind her in a matter of seconds while her mate swayed on his feet trying to stop the enforcers from dragging her away.“Leave her be!” He was shouting but the only bit of respect he could command had been stripped away from him now that he was no longer the Alpha King. He was merely a middle-aged man standing in the way of justice and it must have been the last bit of respect the enforcers had for him that stopped them from shoving him out of the way when he tried to obstruct their work.“Koa Deimos, how could you?” The past Alpha King was shouting.Everyone in the hall witnessed the fall of the haughty Luna Queen who made life hell for many.**After the official ceremony, there was a procession. Dazzling white horses pulled an

Rumours were a wonderful thing. They could create a monster that did not exist. I learnt this and used it to my advantage. Thanks to Hannah, Sylvia, Sonia and Hannah’s boy – friend who is a boy – who I never met, I was able to create monsters when I needed them. I was also able to stir the direction of the public as I liked. Thanks to the amazing people around me, I achieved everything I wanted. If there was one thing I learnt in the past, it was the power of people. Having people in my corner helped me.“As always, you are gorgeous.” Emma Rose took a step back as she admired the fitting of her latest masterpiece. “You make my designs shine, Miss Adelard. I am more than grateful that you made your father bully me into working on your engagement – eh –“ Sylvia gave her a pointed look that made her trail off.“You can mention my last engagement,” I said. “We broke up and he died. There is nothing to keep hushed up. I’m unlikely to feel anything if you suddenly bring it up so there is no

Even though I knew what the outcome would be, I was still pleasantly surprised to hear that Koa was officially the Alpha Prince of Deimos. He finally received the title his father had delayed giving him and I was one step closer to my ultimate goal.From the beginning, I promised to make him king and I promised myself that the people who served him would not die as they did in the past and make him lose all semblance of sanity. Now that he was the crown prince, there was little stopping him from finally ascending the throne as soon as the Alpha King stepped aside or lost his life. The throne could only ever go to him now.Satisfied, I got dressed and set out to see him. During the long journey to the palace, I went over the next steps. Would it be ideal to announce our relationship at his coronation as Alpha Prince? Would it be okay to hold a mating ceremony after? Now that the Luna Queen could not do much to discredit Koa and stop him from getting to the throne, she was much less of

KOA’S POV “We cannot give the Luna Queen time to act,” Persephone was saying.As usual, once I returned, she was back to scheming mode. I missed this woman so much, I was just happy to be in her presence. Since I touched her, I had been cursed to crave her and the months we spent apart, I had almost gone insane from the way I missed her. There was very little to hold onto as I thought of her constantly and wondered if something had happened to her or if she had found someone else. Now that we were together, even if all she was talking about was something else, I was content.She looked less burdened now. Even with the fatigue on her face, she moved with a carelessness that I had never known her to move with. Was it because Cassius Raven was out of the picture? Did he have such a great influence in her life? He must have. He had, after all, killed her in their previous life so she must have lived every day cautious of him. I could not explain how awful I felt coming to this realizati

“Fancy seeing you here, Alpha Cassius.”He was as wretched as I imagined. When I thought of my final retribution against Cassius, he was always like this, chained to the ground with dirty clothes and eyes that begged for mercy. There was not much life in his eyes when he raised his head. It was not the apologetic eyes I had imagined but this one was better. The look of resignation filled me with joy. “Perse,” he called my name with a choked emotion. “I am sorry you have to see me like this.”“Why? I am excited to see you like this. I love seeing you like this.”He was nothing but bones hanging inside clothes that were dirty and smelly. That beautiful face that had all the women falling at his face was gaunt and sickly. It had been months since he was captured, months where he tried to escape multiple times but failed; enough time for him to have suffered mental torture and repented of his sins. When I thought of how I spent seven days locked up by this man, I felt that this punishme

In the banquet hall which the Alpha King had prepared to welcome the warriors, Randal dropped a bombshell that ricocheted throughout the hall. He would not be the first prince to give up his title especially when there were other princes and he wanted to avoid a battle of succession but no one expected him to do this, especially not his mother.“Haha, the prince is tired,” the Luna Queen shouted over him. “Where are the servants? Come and help him settle in.”“Your Majesty, we are still in the middle of the welcoming ceremony,” Randal spoke to his mother with steel in his tone. Really, where did the Randal I knew go to? This one was too cold, too detached to be the same man that left just a couple of months ago. “Please, maintain decorum.”“Boy, you better get your wits about you.” The Luna Queen lost all semblance of falsities. “You were born a prince and you must take your duties seriously. How can you even think of throwing them away?”“I have an obligation to Deimos that is why I

“What do you mean I never wrote to you!?” Things got heated between us in no time. “I wrote to you every week. There were nights when I could not sleep, not because I was physically injured but because of the silence from your end. Even when you were not responding and my wolf was too embarrassed to keep sending letters into a void, I still wrote to you. You are the one who never responded!”“You never wrote to me. Even when you did not write to me, I wrote to you but you never responded. I had to stop when it became clear that you abandoned me!” I shouted at him. “I thought you had found a belle in Black Wolves and could no longer be bothered with me!”There were even days when I feared he had found his mate in the Black Wolves pack and he did not know how to break the news to me. There were also days I thought he had been using me and that he had found no more uses for me. I thought all kinds of things, mourned his death when there was no news of him for a while and celebrated when

“You are all set.” Sylvia took a step back to admire the work she had done on me.I looked into the mirror and the woman in front of me was objectively beautiful but I could not bring myself to care much. I could not bring myself to care about a lot of things. My mind was reeling and although the kingdom was jubilating, I felt hollow inside. The rebel leader of the Black Wolves pack had met his end, the rest were being rounded up as fast as possible. Everyone was celebrating the victories and anticipating when the Alpha King’s troops would return.“You are going to dazzle today as always!” The girls surrounding me who helped put me in this fancy dress beamed at me.The atmosphere everywhere in the kingdom was bright. The mood was refreshing. Everyone laughed at things that did not even deserve to be smiled about like they were compensating for the days we were too scared to laugh.“Right. I think this will sell out soon, also.” Dead inside but alive outside, I was still the biggest mo
