I want to help

KALILA POV

Since Ares left, I had not seen him.

Also, I heard the rumour going about, and I was glad I had been of great help. But then I had done what I needed to do. Although Ares was cruel to me, I had saved him.

"What is the next task, Nova? I can't believe this will be as easy as this." I gushed and waited for her to connect- I learnt the connection between Nova and I was mind-linking.

"If Alpha Ares had died, the mission would have ended, and you would have died a real death. Some missions won't be completed without preparation; this is just one. And it is nothing compared to what's ahead of you."

What was ahead of me?! I didn't know what it was, but I was sure it wouldn't be as complex as this. "Am I serving a million cups of tea to more guards to keep Alpha Ares alive? That's the easiest thing ever, and I think I have a knack for making teas now."

"Barely that," Nova said. And I pictured her rolling her eyes inside my head.

Nova continued. "The coronation of Alpha Ares is a few days away; there's a plot by powerful and dangerous men to poison him. You need to stop it from happening. And find out the reason they want to do that."

"I needed to stop dangerous people? How can I when I am just a human?!"

"You're a werewolf." Nova reminded me. I nodded, recalling her telling me from the beginning that I was a werewolf.

But then, how do I face such men? Do I scream at them or kick their balls?! Fúck, I could see myself getting killed over again.

I didn't need any soothsayer to tell me my end was nigh.

"I'll help you; just follow my lead," Nova said again.

I let out a sigh, shut my eyes, and snapped them open again as the thought of dying if I didn't complete the mission invaded my mind again.

"How do I complete such a task? I mean, I have no plans yet." I said. "Besides, what if I get caught, and people get to know this isn't my real body and I am only an imposter?"

"You're not that," Nova said. "But then, you must maintain your personality while executing the task. You must not in any way give information about your life before the accident. No one should know you are a different person, Kalila."

It was even more complex than I had thought. I wonder if I could handle it all without slipping. Yet, I had no choice.

"Fine, I can do all that," I said.

"Good," Nova replied.

I nodded and walked to the bathroom to freshen up. I had a lot of plans today after the discussion with Nova, and one of them was to take over Luna Dahlia's affair. It was the first step I needed to take if I didn't want anyone to notice the changes.

I put on new clothes I saw in the wardrobe, a polka dot knee-length dress with cap sleeves. I applied subtle makeup on my face, and as soon as I was done, I stepped out of the room.

I didn't know where the pack house office was, but with the help of some maids, I could locate it.

Some had been shocked as soon as I asked for direction, while some had attributed it to me having amnesia.

I never corrected any of them, and I let them assume what they wanted.

I got to the pack house and saw several people entering and leaving a large building.

I climbed the staircase leading to the main building and came in contact with a door. It was the first door in the building.

Letting out a breath, I opened it and entered.

Three pairs of eyes narrowed on me, and I flushed, glancing away.

I could only recognise Ares in the three men staring at me, and the room I was in looked like an office.

A large bookcase was beside Ares, who sat behind a brown desk. Papers and pens were scattered on the desk. The painting on the wall was a boring one, just like the one in the bedroom, I was in. Also, the room exuded the same coolness.

"What the hell are you doing here?!"

I jumped as a blond barked at me.

He creased his brows and stalked towards me.

"I-I..." I started but was cut off by another blond.

"You didn't forget what you said the last time so soon, did you?"

He looked like the first that had spoken. Too many similarities and I wonder if they were twins or maybe related. The only thing that could set them apart was their eyes. Where one was a deep blue, the other had dark-brown eyes.

I said something?! I tried racking my brain to see if any memories of Luna Dahlia could come to my mind because I was sure she must be familiar with them.

But my head was blank.

"How about you leave?" The blonde with deep blue eyes said. "I don't think you are needed here."

I bit my lower lips and glanced at Alpha Ares expectantly.

He said nothing about what was going on. Instead, he kept watching me with no emotion on his face.

It was as if he couldn't wait for me to be sent out so that whatever they were discussing would continue.

But I was meant to be his Luna! Why the hell was he cold towards me? Moreover, the people with him didn't seem to have any respect for Dahlia.

Did something happen between them?

Did Alpha Ares tell them anything about Dahlia?

I was even more curious to know what had gone wrong between them. I didn't think anyone would tell, but I needed to find out.

"You need to leave, ma'am." The blonde with blue eyes said again.

I shook my head slightly. "I want to help," I said, shocking even myself. But then, I didn't know exactly how I was going to.

I had never had a Luna job until now. I wonder if I'd be given paperwork to handle.

I glanced at Ares to see he was still watching me before he stood to his feet.
