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 POVI returned to the house safely and slept like nothing ever happened.The thought of Lance kept filling my mind before I slept off."I wonder how he is doing. How is my baby, little Adrian doing? I wish I did not have to leave but I am truly sorry Lance, this is the only way I can find peace." I laid on the bed and closed my eyes to sleep and I soon slept off. I woke up early the next morning and sneaked out for my morning exercise.I went for a long run in the woods before returning to the house. The day was getting brighter already and the servants were up for the day's task.I I changed and headed straight to the kitchen. As I stepped in, the liveliness in the room dropped to zero level.Everyone continued with their work as if I was not one of them while others eyed me from the corner of their eyes."Am I some sort of plague? I am almost forgetting that I am not one of them so why should I even bother?" I mumbled as I made my way to the counter.I pulled out an
Sam's POV"We need to tighten the security around the entrance. There was an intruder last night and I do not want that to happen again."I told my superior who was not at the dungeon when the unknown figure came in and threatened them."How did that happen? Were you all so negligent of your duties?""One of the patrol guards was knocked out while the other was distracted, giving the intruder an opportunity to slip in that is why I am asking that you increase the number of patrol guards at the entrance.""Fine! Do as you want. I hope I do not hear of such happening here again and to think that the intruder who was even a woman. Who would dare?""It won't happen again, sir." I said and he left with some other patrol guards."Where are the guards in charge of guarding the entrance tonight?" I called out to all the patrol guards who were in the dungeon."It is just the two of us, sir.""Just the two of you?" I sneered.I did not know how to vent my fear which now turned into anger but no
Ashley/ Olivia's POV That was what I needed to hear, another confirmation from one of her loyal men."What did I ever do to her that she would want to kill me?""Tsk, tsk, you should have asked her yourself but unfortunately, you won't love to ask her.""No, you can't kill me. I need to know." They looked at each other as if I was going crazy."You should asked her in your next life." the leader moved closer while the others followed.As the three wolves closed in, I quickly assessed the situation. I knew she could not take them on head-on in this situation, but I also knew there was no backing down.It was either I killed all or killed just two and left one alive.I looked around for what I could use as a distraction for a while so I could attack once.I spotted a nearby water bucket and grabbed it, flinging the water at the wolves. The sudden splash momentarily blinded them, giving me an opening.It was not that I could not just attack and slash down on them but that would not be
Ashley/Olivia's POVHe was in the office at the pack house when I walked in."Alpha." I said, announcing my presence."Have a seat. How are you feeling now?" He asked as I took a seat in front of him."I am fine, alpha. I have nothing to do and it is tiring. I came here to help out with some work.""I think you should still take a day off.""I am fine, alpha. I don't think there is any need for me to take a day off. I am not sick or injured.""Are you sure about that?" he asked, eyeing me."I am.""I will let you be then. I was about to go to the training field to join beta Carl. I want you to come along.""I don't think I can come along." I declined."It is not a request. I am giving you an order as your alpha. Besides, you said you were idle so you should follow me to come watch or train others."There was no way for me to turn an order from the alpha down so I followed behind him.I decided to try something on him as we walked to the open training field.I have watched Martains an
Sam's POVMy hands trembled as I picked the paper on the floor. It was a note with something written inside."What does it say?" a terrified Morris asked from the side.I glanced through the short note quickly with my mouth wide open."What does it say!?" Morris asked again.I could not say a word and stood still with the paper in my hands. He snatched it out of my hands and read the content quickly."She is the one. She came in here last night to drop this." he exclaimed."Why is there so much noise here this morning?" a sleepy voice from inside the open cell said, yawning.I was so shaken with fear that I forgot that the prison door was still open.I picked the padlock and locked the cell quickly as they were not fully awake and aware that the door was open."What would I have done if everyone escaped?" I mumbled with a stifled breath as I made sure the padlock was locked well.We moved away further from the cell to where nobody would hear us."What do we do Sam? This is getting out
Luciana's POVThe door burst open and two people rushed in frantically and out of breath.I was startled as to why someone would just rush into this hidden cave. I turned to see two terrified people struggling to speak."What is the meaning of this? I thought I told you not to come here until you are called for." I asked, my voice, cold and commanding."Please forgive us for running in here like this, luna but the matter at hand is too urgent for us to remain calm." They stuttered out together."What is so urgent that you would run down here this way? Are you being chased?""Yes, something unknown chased us down here."One of the men I recognized as Morris blurted out the whole story, his words tumbling over each other. The other added his own account of the story, his voice shaking with fear.I listened with my expression unreadable."Please help us, Luna. We have all kept this a secret for so long and it is on the brink of getting exposed by someone we can't see in the dark.""So do
Ashley/Olivia's POV"I would just give some pointers then." I said, smiling a little.I was in a good mood. My accomplice was doing the work for me while I stayed hidden.Sam and Morris must be freaking out right now. It would not take long before they come clean. The warriors of the pack gathered around me, their eyes fixed on me with a mix of curiosity and respect."Okay, let's start with the basics," I said, surveying the whole group. "Stance is key. You want to be balanced, with your weight evenly distributed between both feet. We may have supernatural power and be extra strong as wolves but it is all for naught if we don't train our stance."I demonstrated, showing them how to do it. They watched intently, nodding as they took in my instructions."Next, let's work on footwork. You want to be light on your feet, able to move quickly and strike without hesitation."I showed them some drills, and they followed along, their movements awkward at first but gradually improving.And now
