Ashley/Olivia's POVMy mouth dropped wide open at this. Was I hallucinating? Or have I missed Lance to the extent I kept seeing things about Silver Tail in this letter?I could not decode the meaning in the letter. It was written in a way that the person who was to read the letter would understand.I read through again and the only thing I could understand was the words, "Silver Tail and Greg." "I am not hallucinating then. I am seeing the right things. But how on earth is Luciana related to Greg the alpha of Oakstone." I thought deeply."Silver Tail is hours away from Oakstone and it is not easy to know just anybody from there. I would not have known such place existed if I did I not wake up in the body of someone from that same pack. How? Just how? This is a mystery I must figure out." Too engaged in my thoughts, I had almost forgotten I was sent by Luciana to get the package from her room.I quickly placed the letter back the way I had picked it up.I hurried out of the room and
Alpha Martains's POVI was lost in my own little world with Luciana. Our eyes locked on each other and I could not resist the pleasure welling up on the inside.Our bodies touched and I felt my body crackling in a fire of my own emotions."Why did you hold back so long? Do you know how much I have wanted to do this again? You kept pushing me away after the pregnancy incident." She laughed softly but her laughter echoed in the room and her eyes sparkled."I am sorry I kept you waiting. I needed time for myself. It wasn't easy to lose your child and be unable to carry a child of your own ever again. It's so painful." she said, heaving a heavy sigh with a little frown on her face."Don't let that ruin the moment. The moon goddess can choose to bless you for your good deeds so you shouldn't say you can't carry our child." I whispered to her ears.She whispered sweet nothings in my ears. She playfully pushed me away while her hands remained on my chest.Her eyes gleamed with desire and I
Ashley/Olivia's POVI could hear beeping sounds and the sounds of footsteps echoing in my head."Am I in a dream land?" I thought as I tried to look ahead of me but everything was blurry.I felt dizzy and a sharp pain hit my head from time to time. I was lying down on the cold floor and I should have frozen to the bone but I was still so warm.When I felt like I could see a little clearly, I placed one hand on the wall for support and the other on the ground. I tried to lift myself from the floor where I was lying down.My buttocks landed on the floor in one attempt but I stood up again, clinging onto the wall as if my life depended on it for support forever."Ouch!" I yelped in pain as I managed to lift my body off the floor and leaned on a hard object with the strength I had in me.My vision was getting clearer and I noticed I was in the storage room.What happened to me? I was in the kitchen just last night and now I am in the food storage.I was not just in any part of the storage
Ashley/Olivia's POVI rushed outside to see the throng of wolves attacking each other. Some others were running to save their lives. There was nothing happening at the alpha's house yet as the invaders advanced from the pack house where they had gotten to now and down to other parts of the pack.Horror creeped up the skins of those who were running around for their safety. I watched as snarling wolves poured in, attacking the innocent."Is this going to be our end?" I heard someone scream.I had expected my heart to flutter and be scared for a while but it did not. I was calm and moved from the alpha's house to the pack house through the chaos."Do you want to be killed immediately, you poor soul! Find somewhere to hide yourself." I looked down to see a girl dragging the hem of my gown."You should find somewhere to hide yourself. I would be save. Hurry a long with your mother now." I smiled warmly at her.The woman beside her looked at me as if I was crazy."Are you one of them? Tha
Ashley/Olivia's POVI stood up panting, my fingers still dripping blood.Martain's gaze was fixed on mine, a mix of shock and gratitude.There was no going back now, I had transformed and killed the wolf so everyone knows I am not just a weak wolf. I had hidden my strength all along.The warriors around me stared at me in awe, a new kind of respect etched on their faces. Even beta Carl joined the others who stared at me like I was the saviour of the pack."This is normal. Why is everyone staring at me like I did something so great?" I mumbled, trying to shake off the awkward feeling I was getting with everyone staring at me."Emily?" Martains called my name as he made his way to where I was standing."You...you transformed?""I knew there was something different about you. I just couldn't get my hands around it. I aren't so surprised. Thank you for saving me and the pack." he said, bowing his head a little.It was getting more uncomfortable for me so I tried to make him stop. He was t
Luciana's POV"No! No! How can this fail? I have planned this carefully for a long time and it just fails in the blink of an eye? Attack was supposed to bring Martins 6 ft down and raze everything down." the broken pieces of vases and breakables made the maid who was in my room jerk in fear."Please calm down, Luna. This is not the end. There must be a way to turn it around for your good.""Turn what around? Do you mean the attack that failed already? Or do you have the power to travel back in time to make sure I conquer Martins and the whole of Oakstone?" I sneered at her."I can't do any of that but burning with roach would not help you one bit. Please become so you do not get suspected of anything, your highness.""Me, a suspect? Hahaha, that is never going to happen. How can anyone suspect a weak loan and like me planning such a big attack on the pack?""Your highness," the maid move closer to my side."What is it? Do you have any good relation to offer?" I snapped at her."There
Ashley/Olivia's POVNow that the truth was out, I would not let Luciana and Greg have their way.My initial plan was to clear my name for myself and get my revenge but the mire I thought about it, I would be exposing the real evil doers on a large scale.The moon goddess indeed thought well before she gave me the opportunity for a second chance. "I must make use of it well." I mumbled as I sat down on my bed."How do I expose Luciana? I can't be rash about things without evidence as no one would believe me and refer to me as trying to slander the queen. What do I do?" My thoughts travelled back and forth and the ideas I thought of were not brilliant enough to catch my fancy or they were not just okay at all."I need evidence, not just paper evidence. I need actual people. if I could get the loyalist of Luciana to testify against her, that would be the best resort. But who would I go after right now?" My train of thoughts was however interrupted by the knock at the door."Are you in,
Ashley/Olivia's POVI knew that getting information from the security guards who had tortured me would not be so easy at first. They were loyal to Luciana, and they would not betray her trust without a good reason. They had full confidence that she could protect them and that no one would ever find out the truth of what they did.She had kept that promise for years and so they must be so assured that nothing could ever happen. Unfortunately, I was back here and I was going to ruin that.I sat at the table and scribbled down something on a heart of paper."This plan is effective from today." I said as I stood up to change into something unnoticeable in the dark.I threw on a black long dress from the wardrobe. It blended with the colour of the night.I was going to head to the dungeon first to see them and play a frightening trick on them.It was quite late into the night and almost all the servants had gone to bed. I looked around the hallway and made sure there was no one in sight
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
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 POVGreg charged forward at Martains with a fierce battle cry, his claws extended and his teeth bared.The warriors around Martains rushed at him before he could even get closer and then they pinned him down.One of them raised his hands to hit down on Greg but Martains raised his hands for them to stop."Just pin him down first and don't let him move a bit. I am surprised why he is charged at me and wants to kill me. I need to understand everything going on here before I lay a finger on him."So they pinned him down as he kept struggling to free himself.I cleaned the dirt that had gathered on my body from rolling around and stood where I was while Martains and Carl walked towards me.The expression on his face showed he was confused seeing Luciana on the floor, the crazy wolf who wanted to attack him and then his personal maid, Emily in the woods."Why are you here, Emily? Why was he attacking you? And why is Luciana lying half dead on the floor? Tell me what is happ
Ashley/Olivia's POVAs I turned to leave, a massive figure emerged from the trees and pounced on me, making me roll over. Luciana's eyes widened in surprise as Greg, his face contorted in rage, pounced on me.I was not expecting to meet Greg here. I was surprised but he would be more surprised. However, this was an opportunity to end it all. Martains and his men would be here soon.As an alpha, Greg was strong and he poured in all his rage on me. Our strengths were at the same level.I was below him so he did not see my face until I rolled him over and he caught sight of my face, my full appearance."Greg, no!" Luciana croaked, her voice weak from the poison."Olivia? What...why.. are you...? And what is the meaning of this? I mean, you, Luciana.""Are you surprised to see me here, brother-in-law?" I smirked, standing up and he took a step backwards."Don't listen to her, Greg. She is not the real Olivia." Luciana said, almost in a whisper, forcing herself to speak."Shhsh! Don't str
Luciana's POV"You have to escape now, Luna. The truth is out and the alpha is blazing with fury. They would come to arrest you soon. You have to run away now!" Mary burst into the room, panting hard."What? Those two brats already revealed me too soon just because I could not get rid of them last night?" I sprang up, my body shaking with fear."Why are you still staying there talking? You have to run now else there will be no way out. Time is not on your side." Mary moved closer and dragged my hands, shoving a small bag into my hands and, a veil and a clothe to disguise.The reality hit me hard and I threw on the cloth immediately and covered the veil.I sneaked out of the room with the lead of Mary through a secret passageway we had created in the house for emergency.The passageway led directly to one of the borders of the pack."Hurry up, now Luna! You can't get caught." Mary shouted from the top while I entered the passageway, running as fast as I could.I was now like a fugitive
Alpha Martains's POV"Guards!" I bellowed, my voice echoing through the halls. "Arrest Luciana at once! She is a traitor and a murderer!"My hands tightened into a fist as I thought that I had lived with a murderer all these years. I have lived with the person who backstabbed my mate and I, deceiving me with her innocence.My guards scurried off to carry out my orders."How dare you, Luciana? How dare you? You've fooled me big time. I am angry at myself but my anger for you is overflowing." Her face in my memory no longer looked like the innocent Luciana with all smiles. All I could see was a devilish smirk and smile.Some dots at this point however connected in my head but I was too foolish to pick up all these loose ends too soon and accuse her. Probably I felt that would be accusing another innocent soul based on my emotional judgements but see where it has led me.Ashley would never have died. She would have been alive, taking care of our child.Why would she come for me immediat
Ashley/Olivia's POVI returned to the house from the dungeon and made my way straight to Martains room.My mind still shifted back and forth from my encounter with Sam and Morris in the dungeon. I felt something was off when I left the dungeon. It was as if something evil was lurking around and it had to be from Luciana.I knew I had to act fast to ensure their safety, and so I increased my pace to Martains' room.I met beta Carl still in the room with Martains."What is it, Emily?" Martains asked in a soft voice."I need to speak with you, alpha."Carl and Martains exchanged glances and Carl stood up, about to leave."You can stay. It is something you should also hear."I came up with something quickly to make him do just as I would say without looking suspicious."I could not sleep. It always happen this way to me when something not so good is about to happen.""And do you have any idea what that is?" the both of them looked at me expectantly.It was believable and I got them hooked
Ashley/Olivia's POV Sam and Morris were arrested and that was it. Martains was not going ahead to arrest Luciana, imprison her and torture her."What the heck did those two tell him? He is supposed to be in a rage now and should be dealing with Luciana." I pondered on my head, pacing about my room."Or did they lie to him about who the person is? Or did they even leave that part out?" "Argh!" I screamed in annoyance as the possible hit me. It was either they lied or did not tell Martains that it was Luciana."Just what did they tell him?" I mumbled as I made my way out of the door to Martains's room.The tensed and angry lines on my face relaxed when I got to his door."Don't wait to knock, come in, Emily." Martains voice from inside startled me. I had not even knocked and he knew I was outside.I turned the knob open and entered inside. Martains stood before a small door leading to a small balcony in his room with his hands in his pocket.He had an unreadable express on his face.I
Luciana's POV I sat down in my room, my mind filled with thoughts of how to push forward my second plan to get rid of Martains and make Oakstone mine and Greg's."I must work this time. I won't allow anyone to ruin it this time." I mumbled as I sat on the bed lost in my thoughts.I tried to free my mind of whatever would weigh me down but my mind kept traveling back to Martains and Emily. Emily was the only pain in my neck but Martains had decided to join sudes with her and was also becoming a pain in the neck."Damn! How dare he do that in my face? I could have done worse if not that I am trying to be on his good side so my plans do not get ruined. Does he think I am the docile Ashley?" I said, scoffing."I thought they had finally gotten rid of you, Emily but you are back, stirring up more trouble and threats to me."Just as I was starting to calm down from the rage and frustration I was feeling, one of my loyal servants burst into the room."Your highness, I have urgent news." he s
