A Scorned Luna's Revenge Chapter 35
“Welcome, Alpha Raven, Miss Adelard,” the Beta sent to receive us greeted us as we walked into the building. “The meeting will take place over here.” He guided us down a corridor to a large round table room filled with Alphas.After working hard for weeks on end, the time had come to launch Cassius’ business into the limelight. Today, we would be meeting with the Slaters and a few other Alphas who had shown interest in the business. At times like this, it was thrilling knowing what was to come. For the next two months, Cassius would enjoy basking in the spotlight. In the past, Alpha Koa seemed to be testing out his political strength when he went for the Slaters. It was when he failed to finish them off that his family combined with the Slaters tried to drive him into a corner but only succeeded in killing his people and pushing him off the edge. The Slaters would be hit soon and as they tried to recover, they would not think twice about devouring all those that relied on them.

CASSIUS’ POVI had a dream. It had become a recurring dream since I saw the horrible scars on Persephone’s wrists. In that dream, she was begging me. Her voice reached me from a vast darkness and every time, all I heard were her sobs without seeing her. ‘Cass, no, please, no!’ She continued to cry out my name in a desperate and mournful tone. Every time, I tried to help her, to find her and pull her out of the darkness but the darkness was thick. It was thick and I could not see anything through it. No matter how much she cried, I did not help her until her voice faded away. As usual, I woke up in a pool of my sweat. My back was stuck to the bedsheet from how much sweat was pouring from my body. My limbs were stiff with fear and it took a few minutes for me to realize I was awake now. ‘This dream again,’ my wolf muttered, his tone thick. ‘I don’t understand. Every time I hear that voice, it feels like I know what is happening but still, I am in the dark. What is happening, Ca

Would it not be funny if April got pregnant? In my previous life, despite Cassius spending every night with her, including the night of our engagement and mating, there was never any talk of her being pregnant. Of course, that somehow became my fault. Apparently, I had done some evil, heinous act and cursed her to never bear fruit out of jealousy. Those words had hurt me but now, I could only think of them and laugh. “You’re in a good mood,” Hannah said as she cleaned my nails. “What do you think of April, Hannah?” I asked and the girl gritted her teeth as her face contorted. One would think I had asked her what she thought of a filthy rogue. “She’s nothing but a shameless woman!” Hannah declared. “All she does is hang around the Alpha and even though he has said several times that he isn’t interested in her, she still carries herself as if she is the Luna. There are even people in the mansion that defer to her because they think she’ll somehow become the Luna.” She scoffed. I

“Perse, the Alpha wants to see you.” Sylvia came to summon me when Cassius arrived. Without wasting time, I left what I was doing and went to see him. The moment I pushed his door open, I knew to expect good news. He had stars in his eyes and a spring in his steps as he rushed to embrace me. “I take it things went well?” I caught myself smiling as he hugged me with all his might. Cassius was not very open with his emotions. I was the one constantly harassing him into hugs and trying to get as close to him as possible but as he held me then, with my hands bound to my sides, I knew that things may have gone better than expected. He left earlier in the day to see the Alpha King and although he did not mention it, his face had been fraught with anxiety. Now that he was all hugs and smiles, I knew he had impressed the Alpha King and managed to get a second invite out of him. It was as I expected. He was smart enough to capture the King’s interest. “More than well, in fact,” he sa

‘Calm down, he cannot achieve that,’ Ana said to me when I continued to hyperventilate hours after my conversation with Cassius. ‘Did the goddess create the position of the Alpha King for nothing?’ She continued. ‘And does it make any sense for him to help Randal become the Alpha King and then ask to secede? What kind of fool would grant such a favour?’ Yes, no matter how foolish a king may be, he would know better than to leave packs to become independent. If he granted one the right to secede, many more would follow and war would break out. Even a child would know better than to let such a thing happen. So why did I feel uneasy? I knew that Randal would never become the Alpha King. That position was Koa’s by right and he would take it by force. Cassius was merely wasting his time but still, his ambitions surprised me. How could he think of making Blood Crescent pack stand independent of the Deimos kingdom that the goddess herself had established? I knew his pride and I knew

I could not see the oracle before the event but thankfully, a last-minute invite came to Cassius to attend the Alpha’s Hunt. His eyes brimmed with excitement as he showed me the letter with the royal seal on it. “Call Emma. We have to make you a fabulous dress as the Lady of the Hunt.” Lady of which stupid hunt? A hunt that also involved Alpha Koa? Even if he carried a squad of a hundred warriors, Cassius would not come out victorious over Koa and he could not even use others to hunt. Yet, how could I say no to a new dress? “You are attending the hunt?” Emma could not hide the excitement in her eyes. “Yes, I am sorry to have called you with such little time to prepare but I would like a dress befitting the ceremony.” It was, after all, my first time meeting the Alpha King in both of my lives. Cassius said he was not very impressive but still, he was the Alpha King so I anticipated meeting him. “Yes, I will make you shine the brightest. You may even become the Lady of the

Even I was surprised. Did I have a relationship with Alpha Randal that permitted him to wink at me? The gesture was off-putting and obviously out of place for him since he immediately went red in the face. If it had come from Koa, I would have understood since that man was the type to do anything to get a reaction out of others but it did not fit the image of Randal I had – we all had – of him in our heads. Except he was trying to copy his brother. “I am not certain,” I answered Cassius. “Did he wink at me?” “What is that brat up to?” Cassius growled under his breath. “What kind of mutt does he…” “We are at an event organized by the Alpha King,” I reminded him. If he wanted to sabotage himself, he could do it without involving me. “Please, do not growl or insult his son.” “But he…” He started but he must have seen reason with me, reason to comport himself. Nothing good would come out of him upsetting the Alpha King now that they were starting to get along. “He has a lot of

“It was you,” the woman who joined us said. Her eyes were white and unfocused. She moved with a guide yet when her unseeing eyes settled in my direction, it felt as if she could see deep into my soul. “Your- Your Holiness.” Jennifer was the one who got her wits about her first. “It is a pleasure to meet you. I am…” Though her words were polite, the expression on her face was not. “Jennifer Slater, you can be on your way.” The oracle spoke with her twittery voice that resonated with power. “Take your little friends with you.” “Your Holiness…” Jennifer started to protest but the oracle whose unfocused eyes had been in my direction, turned to her. “Yes, yes! We will be on our way!” She grabbed the hand of the friend closest to her and they rushed out of the garden. The oracle turned to me. I patted my chest from how frightened I had gotten. There was no reason to be frightened. In the kingdom, the oracle barely had any power. Oracles were called friends of the goddess and her s

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
