CHAPTER 54 FIRE ON TAHLIA “Pascal tonight is more fun, I must confess… it’s siiiick in here!” Tahlia complimented Pascal at the top of her voice, the club noise was very loud, he was grinning from ear to ear and feeling so happy about the praise she just gave him.Grinda hasn't said much since they arrived at the club about an hour ago. She was also being so stiff and grumpy, Tahlia looked at her squeezed face and sighed dramatically, rolling her eyes at grinda.Pascal left them to get another batch of alcohol, he had been feeding them with lots of them as usual, all her body was piped up and She was very excited to be in the club once again.“Tahlia …. I don’t think it’s a good idea, coming out here again, regulus will not forgive me this time and I can’t let you come here alone.She stopped dancing at once and frowned at her friend, the whole attitude was getting to her, “I didn’t force you to come with me okay!..,, because of regulus you will leave me here alone right?” Tahlia y
CHAPTER 56UNBELIEVABLE GRINDA Grinda was holding her best friend so tight and close to her like her life depended on it, her wolf frantically screaming and jumping, All her senses had been heightened at once.Although all through the evening she wasn’t enjoying the whole aura but she tried to keep her irritation away from Tahlia, her friend needed the distraction but she felt something dark.“Get us out of here” she growled at Pascal and watched as he walked away slowly from her view, her wolf immediately alerting her that someone was watching them.Turning around to look everywhere but she saw no one, hoping that Pascal would come soon with the security men and get them out soon, she held onto her drunk friend.Tahlia couldn’t move her body anymore, she isn’t in her normal senses, the type of highness was very weird, she knows her best friend very well and knows how she behaves when she gets high. This wasn’t it at all.It struck her mind at once, they had been drugged!, as if to
GRINDA Grinda watched with calculating and carefulEyes as the men stopped in their tracks at her information, one of the men moved closer to peek at tahlia.He veered around back to the others with a worried countenance, they all grumbled loudly and looked disappointed, at once Grinda knew she was in more crisis.Pascal had prepared these six men to take them both and spoil their reputation and now that Tahlia is unconscious, probably dying they would all want to have her.“Pascal must be crazy for doing this to us… Six men!” the thoughts in her head kept reciting, she shook it off, if wasn't the right to think about how crazy and vicious Pascal is.She needed to get them out of there, a plan forged in her mind and Grinda smiled seductively at the men, stood up from the floor slowly.“Careful there.. We didn't ask you to get up!” one of the men warned her, he was the meanest looking one, with lots of scars on his body and face.“ pour some cold water on that one and wake her up, my
JOAN “You are such a fool! A big fool!…. Ohooo!” She screamed furiously at the two men standing in front of her. They had called her early this morning, asking her to come down for the pictures.She couldn’t wait for another seconds, called Pascal at once. He was sounding miserable and regretful on the phone but she didn't Care.“Get your ass out of your quarters and meet me outside the estate, stay hidden… if you like yourself!” She advised him, knowing how stupid he can be sometimes.He might not cover his face or stay hidden and the Cctv camera would pick his face, or someone would see them together. Standing in front of the men now, she wished she hadn’t left the mansion at all.They were saying something entirely different from what she bargained with them. “You don’t have any right to shout at us… look at the whole place… those girls are dangerous!” One of the two men shrieked back at her.His eyes throwing daggers at her, pascal stood by the door, his head bowed in defeat. He
TWO FACED FRIEND “What type of person are you? Why would you even think to do that to us Pascal! I thought we were friends?...you put us through all that for what?” Tahlia shouted at the fidgeting Pascal. “Don't scream at me in my house okay… Don't try it, I have told you who the planner is, go to her and raise your questions!I'm only fighting for my love!” he barked back at her, although his pupil was broadening and his voice trembling. She looked over at her friend and noticed that Grinda was also in a fit of rage. She hasn't spoken out about anything since they met with Pascal. called him that afternoon to meet them outside the mansion. He came to their amazement and Tahlia especially, was shocked. frankly at that point she didn't know Pascal schemes anymore. He plotted the whole incident and now he's proposing to help them.“I will talk to her about the pictures and videos, she won't leak them…. Tahlia heard him talking to the both of us about how he intended to help.Grinda,
KATHERINE Grinda and Tahlia had been acting strange since morning toward her, she sat in an open space very close to her apartment wondering why they had planned to meet today for some shopping and breakfast outing but they didn't show up or pick her calls.“They haven't talked to her or looked her in the face since this morning…. The thoughts of their suspicious behaviour rhymed perfectly with what Joan just told her, “Are you saying this is real!” she asked her again, the camera in her left hand.“You should go over it again… You will see all the contents… It's not photoshop” joan responded, hissing happily and confidently.“But Pascal, I thought you were their friend?... Sure I'm pissed at them for keeping it away from me but still…. You shouldn't do this to the people you call friends” Katherine spat at her mate, who hadn't said a word to her, she got out of her seat at once. They had come to her a few minutes ago to show her the pictures and say various demeaning things about T
GRINDA Katherine stood in Grinda's apartment, the camera shuddering visibly in her hands, all she had been doing since she arrived there was to weep bitterly, the deafening type. She and Tahlia eyeing her with bewilderment and guilt mixed together in their faces.Katherine didn't allow her or Tahlia to soothe her, instead she kept repeating that she had to do something important, “i’m Sorry but I have to do this… You both provoked all these!” She repeated the same sentence again.Tahlia sat there on her coach In fright, she also hasn't said anything since Katherine called a quick meeting, with the camera in Her hands and her uncontrollable tears, the reason related to their own predicament. Grinda wet her lips unconsciously and folded her arms in anticipation before she spoke up.“Katherineeeee!.... I appreciate that you called this meeting and told us all about what that snake said to you but you Don’t have to be her pet, we can work this out!” she attempted again, moving slowly to
ALPHA CASPIANThe seventeenth whip tore through her back and he winced internally. He had been counting to distract himself, his heart hard and unforgiving as ever but her hurt and scream were getting to him every second.“Ahaaaaaaaa… I’m so…. Sorr…. Ahaaaaaa!” she screamed loudly again as the next one hit her hard, Alpha Caspian had ordered his guards to keep hitting her until he was satisfied.Of course he wasn't satisfied with seeing other people touch his mate, let alone hurt her but his demon was out and nobody could stop him now, not even his mother.“You slut! I will teach you how to stay in your place, have been soooo lenient with you, how dare you go out at midnight to the club! Without my knowledge!!” he barked again at her, his eyes never leaving her bloody and injured body. Grinda knelt beside her friend, wailing bitterly as she held her dangling legs and comforted her, as a gift to his best friend and Beta he didn't punish Grinda himself, instead he left that to him to d
ALPHA CASPIAN POV Grinda and Tahlia shot out of their sitting position immediately the Lycan king walked into Grinda’s house, he couldn’t enter her bedroom so they had enough time to rush out of the balcony to meet with him.“I looked for you in your chambers and you weren’t there, I knew immmediately that you had come here after I warned you not to” that was the first thing the Lycan king spat at his wife; Tahlia.“I… I’m sorry, we couldn’t stay away from each other without knowing that we are fine… please … don’t punish me” she begged, clasping her hands tighter, the fear grew on her face and body at every second that passed.“It’s okay …. Go back to your apartment … I want to speak with Grinda … you should rest, don’t walk around yet” he responded, forcing his wolf to stay calm.Alpha Caspian was frowning but it was not because he was angry this time, it was because his wolf and darkness were forcing him to get mad at his wife again, and he didn’t want to, especially agter seeing
TAHLIA’s POV Immediately Grinda heard about Tahlia’s recovery she sent her maid to sneak in a letter to Sam, knowing fully well that Sam would deliver the message without getting caught; she loves Tahlia so much that she will happily take the burn if she even gets caught. “Don’t tell me to calm down … I haven’t seen my girl for days now, I’m worried… I can’t believe her husband would do that to her!” Grinda yelled angrily at the guard standing by the door.Beta Regulus; hee mate, had placed the young warrior there to keep her indoors and grounded as her punishment but she had successfully turned him into her gossip partner. Grinda had been fidgeting since her maid went on the crucial and risky errand, she would get caught, including the fact that she hadn't seen Tahlia for days now, all she knows is that Tahlia is better and back to her chambers.The young warrior rolled his eyes at her playfully, definitely enjoying the discussion, he quickly opened the door to stretch his head in
TAHLIA POV The queen mother wouldn’t leave Tahlia's bed side, she had been lying there for a few weeks now and it was getting worrisome, the king as well was distracted but had to be strong for his pack people's sake.“Take it easy…. Just rest your back here, finally you can be discharged .., ohoooo, my dear…. Welcome back” she beamed at Tahlia who smiled widely back at her.But almost immediately her smile waned away and a Worrisome frown replaced it, the queen mother already knew the cause of the immediate change in demeanour, Tahlia had remembered why she’s still in the hospital.“How’s Grinda … how’s she, hope she’s fine? …I totally forgot, please I would like to see her” the doctor who had just unplugged the drip from her hand gave the queen mother a knowing look who in turn gestured for the doctor to excuse them.Same with Sam and her other maid who had been with her for the past week, Sam in particular wouldn’t stop worrying, “you need to reduce the volume of your voice … and
QUINCY POV.“We started talking a few days ago and I’m getting out of here soon… I only came to tell you, maybe you will be interested in coming with me…'' Quincy was whispering in a hushed tone to Pascal but he was practically ignoring her intentionally and Quincy despised it when she’s not taken seriously.“I really appreciate your thinking and thoughts … but pleasseeeeeee… for the love of the moon goddess, you both should leave me out of this and I will advise you as well, stay away from Joan… you are still alive and breathing in this prison … that woman will make life terrible for you” he said back in response to the excited joan.His response affected her mood because when she spoke next there was no smile on her lips or excitement on her face anymore, “what’s wrong with you… ?.. aren’t you smart enough to beat a woman to her game…?… well if you think Joan can screw Me…, ask my sister if you are lucky enough to get out of here” she spat back at him.Anger and pride mixed toget
QUINCY The sound of pascal arrival jerked Quincy up and she jumped up from her slumber at once, there’s nothing much to do in the prison aside from sleep and eat the cold and unsatisfactory food brought to her and do menial labour and hard work which always wears her out.She looked out from her cage door and sighted Pascal briefly before he was pushed into his cage, although she didn’t know him on a personal level she had seen him with Katherine in the meeting hall when her father came to plead on her behalf.“How could you hurt your mate like that…?….” She didn’t wait to listen to the remaining conversation, that’s all she needed to lighten up the fire of her hopes, she knew she could as well use the dangling opportunity in front of her.She waited and leaned in her eyes closer to listen to more of their conversation, they didn’t know she was listening but her prison cage is right beside pascal, “I’m sure he doesn’t know me…. Hmmm it will be very difficult to get him on my side” Qu
PASCAL“I…. I… didn’t do it …. Joan! Why will you accuse me of all these!” I spat back at her, my eyes squinting at her, I was trying to give her our special code sign to cover up for me and I will in return help her.But I guess I had become useless to her, she eyed me furiously and looked away, tapping her foot restlessly onAlpha Caspian’s expensive tiled floor.Katherine had said her own part of the story and left me in a tight corner, same with Joan. The two women were smart and I wish I could lie effortlessly in the Alpha face like Joan Isdoing right now, so I strengthened my resolve and moved closer to the Alpha.“I didn't do all of these things Alpha caspian… Joan is a pretentious liar … I…” the guard who moved swiftly behind me forced me on my kneel before I could catch my breath, cutting off the lies coming out of my mouth.“You are dead!” Joan mouthed at me, instantly I knew I’m in trouble, I shook my head at my self pitifully, I couldn’t even dare look at Alpha Caspian, he
JOAN’s POV It was so easy for joan to deny all the allegations because Grinda and Tahlia weren’t there, Grinda was busy serving her punishment of being locked inside her apartment by her husband, He didn’t whip her like Alpha Caspian did to his wife. While Tahlia is fighting for her dear life, they were exactly where she wanted them to be and if all she had to do is sacrifice one foolish lamb to save her ass, she would do it over and over again.Alpha caspian was sweating prufeously under the cold weather, two air conditioner are in his office, yet he was panting and wet all over his black shirt, he haven’t stop pacing around his magnificent office since he summoned her few minute ago, it was begining to make her eyes turn, katherine sat there on a red leather couch, her eye fixed on the ground.“I didn’t do all of these things and you know it katherine, you are just jealous that your brother wouldn’t send me away and because he loves me, aren’t you Tahlia’s friend? Joan spat at kat
KATHERINE POV“Mother….she’s not waking up, she’s not breathing … please do something” Katherine was howling at the top of her voice, hitting her head fiercely with her hands like it could revive Tahlia.Her mother was by her side at once, eyeing her suspiciously, she had been doing since they all converged in Alpha Caspians’ chamber.“Mother, don't look at me like that… I swear it wasn’t my fault . Ohooo, I should have fought hard for them, I was pushed to the corner by that witch… it’s Joan's mother” Katherine found herself spitting out to her suspicious mother.“What does that joan has to do with what’s Happening to the luna of this pack? How can she hurt the queen…what have you girls done to annoy the Alpha? Ohoooo you girls want to killl me right? and … and where is grinda? I haven’t seen her. Queen Elaine kept shooting questions to the already disoriented and muddled katherine.Katherine was visibly shivering, from the corner of her eyes she sighted Pascal in her brother's tre

He had been counting to distract himself, his heart hard and unforgiving as ever but her hurt and scream were getting to him every second.“Ahaaaaaaaa… I’m so…. Sorr….
