Ashley/Olivia's POVThe wood was silent once again, the only sound being the heavy breathing of Martains and the warriors.I watched as Martains and Carl stood still even when his warriors had taken Luciana's body and kicked the dead Greg's body somewhere far.He was not a member of any pack in Oakstone so his body could only be left there. As an alpha, he would have deserved better but he choose the path of a traitor. His pack members would look for him and take his dead body back to Silvertail if they wanted to.The expression on Martains's face was that of pain and devastation."You found the truth and brought an end to it all. You can break from the hard truth but endure it, man." Carl said, tapping on his shoulders before moving to join the other warriors.It was just me and Martains now. I moved closer, closing the gap between us.My hand found its way to his shoulders and tapped on it continuously. He held my hands and bent his head, letting the tears flow.It was the first tim
Ashley/Olivia's POV"No, you should go alone, Martains. I won't be coming. I have to go back to the house and do my chores.""It's alright but thank you for always being by my side, Emily."He did not disagree and just allowed me to go home. I left him while he went to pay a visit to Ashley.There was no way I would go to my own grave. Wouldn't that be like digging another grave and opening up a soft spot in my heart?Martains was convinced that I was just Emily who was sent to help him. It was better at this instead of revealing anything further that I was Ashley."You can finally return to the man who makes you smile like a fool." Lola teased me, jumping around in my head."Oh please, don't tell me you aren't excited too." I replied to her."I am but I am only excited because I would see my cute little baby, Adrian.""Hehehe, I know you miss him but you would not agree to it." I got to the house and then to my room. I quickly arranged the little things I had. I would be leaving for
Today was the 5th day of the month of September and counting down, it's been two years since that horrible incident.Lost in thoughts, Ashley stood in front of her mirror trying so hard not to let guilt overwhelm her. Her rain of thoughts is however interrupted by a noise coming from behind her."What's up with you Luciana? You are the only one who has the right to barge into the Luna's room. Even my husband would knock at times." Ashley with arms akimbo pretends to be angry."Try kick me out then. I am sure you can't do that." Luciana lips curved slightly, giving off a sheepish grin as she replied.Luciana knew what her friend was thinking about and she could not help but be happy to see guilt written all over her face. It would make things much easier for others to believe with her attitude.Two years ago, while Ashley and Martins were still in courtship, Martin's niece got missing and the body was found months later.Ashley and Luciana had gone to the alpha's family house to mak
Limuel sat up quickly while trying to figure out who could be at the door. The knock didn't last for long as he heard another footstep coming closer."The Luna doesn't want to be distributed. I believe she is fast asleep now." A voice from outside said to the other."Alright, head maid. I just thought to check up her if she needed anything." The maid replied.Limuel heaved a sigh of relief and laid down back. He soon fell asleep as he also took a sleeping pill.It was evening and the other family members had started arriving for the birthday celebration. The family members that were present shook hands and greeted one another as they waited for the celebrant to arrive.The host of the party, alpha Martins was already in the hall welcoming the people who had arrived but his Luna was not yet around. He looked around the hall to see if he could catch a glimpse of her probably she was too busy doing some finishing touch preparations."This is unlike Li. Where could she be?" He thought.Be
Alpha Martins POVMy heart was beating fast and my wolf, Max was getting agitated. "How could our mate do this to us? That means she doesn't love us." He whimpered.I stormed out of the room to catch my breath and figure it out all . I didn't want to look like a weakling in front of so many people. It hurts, but I dare not cry. What I should do at least is to imprison her.One part of me is furious while the other part is still fighting to accept the fact that she killed my niece and cheated on me with a mere servant.I walked back calmly into the room and gave my order."Beta Carl, summon my prison guards to arrest her. Although she is the Luna, she has committed a grevious crime that is punishable by our law. As for this servant who had the nerves to sleep with my wife, he should be flogged thirty lashes of cane before thrown into the cell.""Father, I am sorry about what happened and to think that it happened on a happy day like this, I feel so ashamed. Happy birthday, father." I
Ashley's POV"Beta Carl, summon my prison guards to arrest her. Although she is the luna, she has committed a grevious crime that is punishable by our law." It kept reaching my ear and a single tear fell down my cheek as it felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest.I know I did wrong in the past and I am willing to accept my punishment but I can't accept that he wouldn't trust me as his wife who would never cheat on him.Why me? Why am I on the receiving end with no good thing? What have I ever done to deserve this? I wanted to scream and shout at Luciana.How could I not know she was the one behind all of this after what happened yesterday?" She deliberately drugged me, set me up with that servant and betrayed me.Lola my wolf howled in pain in my head and I doubled over in pain clutching at my chest. I suddenly felt nauseous and bent over the floor with my hands over my mouth.Am I not well? A stench hit my nose at the corner where I sat and I quickly concluded that it m
Ashley's POVI couldn't believe my ears. Pregnant? I knew she is mischievous and evil but how dare she call my child a bastard.But this was not the time to leap on someone as my head was spinning. The figures in front of me tripled and I blacked out. What keeps happening to me?Splash! I jerked up, waking up with my clothes drenched in water. One of the guards had poured a bucket of water on me in an attempt to wake me up.As I opened my eyes, I noticed Luciana was no longer in the cell. Two maids came into the cell and one I could recognize as Julie the pack's midwife and nurse."Luna, please excuse me." She said bowing her head slightly before getting down to business. She examined me for a while before leaving. I was left all alone again.The two guards kept whispering by the door and although it was faint whispers, my wolf hearing was still alert. I could hear them talking about telling the alpha something about me."You shouldn't have done that. What if it complicates the issue
Luciana POV"Now, bitch you can finally get out of my way." With an expressionless face, I stood watching Ashley been tortured to death."Finally, there is relief in my heart." Even my wolf is at peace. One would think of me as a wicked friend. Wicked is even an understatement. If there is a quality much bigger than wicked, I'll gladly accept it."Hehehe, who cares about Ashley anyways?"For the past two centuries, I've been a shadow his in her own shadow.First off, she took Martains away from me, stole my position as the Luna and still stood in my way, preventing me from actualizing my dream."I thank the moon goddess for giving me such an innocent face. Nobody is ever going to blame me directly for anything with my looks on the outside."I watched Ashley groaning in pain as the whip tore through her flesh. She was trying to endure on her own and had even blocked out her wolf from helping her.Gradually, she lost it and her eyelids closed in utter surrender. She was gone! Gone forev
