The guards had no option but to spill the beans and prepare for the worst from May, but as they were about to say a word, another guard interrupted."Your Highness, the Elders said it's urgent, and you should be fast."The guard announced."This is not over, and you better have some clear explanations before I come back." Jake glared at them and left and they held their chest, releasing the breath that they had been holding since.*Alpha Jake matched into the pack Elders hall and Elder Cyril stood up welcoming him.Jake carried a firm face that showed seriousness, while he folded his hands behind him."You are crossing your limits. Elders."Jake snapped and they glanced at each other."But what have been done to you, your Highness?" Elder Cyril asked."Here goes you, doing all the talking. I'm sure you know that today is my wife's birthday, it was so wrong for you to wake me up that early in the morning." Jake lamented, hoping they would find sense in what he was saying but Cyril jus
"Really? What's the idea? Please tell me." May asked anxiously, shaking Lara."Ouch, easy." Lara laughed."You don't understand! I need to throw her out ASAP, please don't waste time. You don't know what I had on the ground to lose if this plan fails." May exclaimed."This time it won't fail." Lara assured her and grinned."What's the plan?" May said and pulled her into her closet so they could have more privacy."We should drug them." Lara replied and May raised her brows."What's the difference between that and the aphrodisiac." May questioned."I don't know, but what I know is that this time, it will surely work." Lara retorted, her confidence as strong as ever.May sighed."Anything to throw that witch out." May stated."In fact, I have to do it right now. I will make sure Amby drinks the juice, because of course, she's the stupidest person ever, and then you make sure Williams also gets drunk no matter what, please." May pleaded."You can count on me." Lara exclaimed.*Amby sta
May tabbed her fingers nervously as she watched Amby drink the wine."Thank you May, it tasted great." Amby beamed"I told you," May replied, waiting for the drug to take effect, and it did, immediately.Amby started feeling somehow, she could hardly keep her eyes open."Are you okay, Amby?" May asked.Amby held her head."I...I don't know, my head just..." Amby couldn't complete her statement, she dozed off.May waved her fingers at her before bursting out in a horrible laugh.She laid Amby on the chair and rushed to grab her phone."Lara! Amby is sleeping, bring William here, quick." May said over the phone and hung off.*Lara hid her phone and added the powdered drug to a wine, then entered Williams's room."Hey, my love." Lara waved, seductively walking up to him.Williams glanced at her and back to a paper he was working on, he wore reading glasses too."Lara, come on, in," Williams replied and Lara entered."I brought you some wine," Lara said."God knows I need this. Thank you
Amby couldn't understand everything that was going on, especially how Williams and she ended up on the same bed, that too naked.How did that even happen? Whatever happened between them?Williams dashed from the bed."You two should be ashamed of yourselves. You had brought disgrace to this pack." Elder Cyril spat."No, this had to be a misunderstanding. I don't know anything, we didn't do anything." Williams said and rushed to where Alpha Jake was standing.Jake was standing, not blinking his eyes at all."Alpha Jake, you trust me right? I swear I don't know how we...""What are you even saying, Williams? Do you even have the guts to say something? I had loved you with all my heart. Now I understand why you always talked about Luna praised her and admired everything about her. I should have known that you had been cheating on me with her!"Lara cried loudly."What are you even saying? I don't even know what happened after the wine you gave to me!" Williams yelled."Stop talking Willi
Alpha Jake looked at them with a stern face."What's going on here?" He inquired."Are you asking us? Don't you know what she has done?" May replied."What has she done?" Alpha Jake asked."Seriously? What has she not done? You saw it with your own eyes, she was having an affair with the beta and...""And who do think you are to be in this place? You are no one in this pack aside from a breeder and don't forget that." Jake spat, cutting off May.May was enraged by what he said and addressed her as a nobody despite finding Amby with Williams."You can't talk to May like this because of this thing. Your wife had committed an offense, a huge one which is a taboo and must face a trial according to the provision of the tradition." Elder Cyril exclaimed.Jake's looked at him."My wife cheating on me is no one problem, she is my wife and that is my house problem, not yours, and you can't decide her punishment or tell me what to do," Jake replied.Amby felt a bit of relief, seeing how Jake wa
Jake watched heartbroken as Amby was taken away.He was caught between choosing love or duty.He ignored the Elders' talk and went to Amby's room.He stared at their pictures.He felt alone, with her laughter encoring through every corner of the room."Stop!" He screamed and covered his both ears with his hands.The image of smiling Amby appeared right in front of him."My love, do you know why you are hurting? Is because I didn't do it." Amby's image exclaimed.Jake slowly uncovered his ears and was stunned as he blankly stared at her."Amby..." He tried touching her but she disappeared.Then appeared behind him."Why would you do that to me? You promised to be my protector! Jake! They took me away! They insulted me! Why didn't you stop them? Why!" Amby's voice yelled."Stop, please!" Jake burst into tears and fell to his knees crying."Please stop Amby!" He cried.He felt like a tab on his shoulder and this time, Amby's image had tears in her eyes."You are a just Alpha, not for the
*The next Morning*The sound of the cell opening jotted Amby from her sleep.She slowly opened her eyes, and her eyes welcomed the sight of the bright sun.Her head hurts due to the pain she went through yesterday."Jake..." She muttered as she saw a figure standing in front of her."Jake, I know you will come for me. Jake, I had a...a terrible dream." She muttered."Stop talking nonsense and get up!" A voice yelled and she fully opened her eyes and her heart sank seeing the cell officer standing in front of her.So it wasn't a nightmare after her, after what had happened and that's it."Get up!" He ordered, and she did, holding her head."The pack heads are holding your trail, let's go." He said and chained Amby like a criminal and the thought of that made a tear fall from her eyes.She was taken to the courtroom for the trial, looking sick, and pale.Her eyes met with Jake and she stared at him for a minute, he couldn't take his eyes off her until the chief judge said something.Jak
"With all the evidence gathered and after hearing from all sides, the court however declared Amby, the wife of Alpha Jake, guilty of having an affair with the beta of this pack, Williams." The judge announced."No! You are crazy! I didn't do it! Why can't you just believe me? What would I gain by cheating on Jake after knowing I'm barren? Jake, I know you believe me, I know you trust me, please tell me." Amby yelled."Oh stop being so useless. Jake, it's all confirmed, we can't let a barren and shameless cheater, who despite being caught right in the act refuses to accept her deed but rather try to blame it on May. This is the wrong model for the pack and we will not accept this! You have to divorce Amby, right now!" Elder Cyril exclaimed."Yes! Divorce her! Divorce her!" The rest of the elders, minster, and members of the pack chanted repeatedly.May smirked while Amby stared at Jake with tears in her eyes.No, that's not how she planned her marriage to be, she doesn't want to lose A
Jake's eyes widened as May's words painted a picture of deceit and betrayal. He couldn't believe that Elder Cyril, a trusted member of the pack, was behind Amby's infertility. The diamond mine, the treasure room, and the hidden jewels were all news to him. May continued, "My father has been using me and Elder Cyril to get to you, Jake. He wants the throne and the treasure, and he'll stop at nothing to get it." Jake's mind raced with questions and emotions. He felt betrayed, angry, and hurt. But he knew he had to stay focused and get to the bottom of this. "Who is your father?" Jake demanded, his voice firm but controlled. May hesitated, fear in her eyes. "My father is...Alpha Ryker." Jake's eyes narrowed. "The same Alpha Ryker who was banished from our pack years ago?" May nodded, tears streaming down her face. "Yes, that's him. He's been seeking revenge ever since." Jake's grip on May's chains tightened. "You're coming with me, May. We're going to confront your father an
Jake tries to fish information from May and went to the prison as he welcomed by the guards.May was brought out though with chains in her hands and around her legs."What are you doing here? To see how miserable I am?" May asked."That won't be bad if that's what I wanted! Amby is struggling for her life because of you!" Jake spat."I don't know why she hadn't died yet, such a clever girl." May spat and Jake was angered, he always punched her but held himself due to her condition."I'm not here to waste anytime. I'm here to give you a chance, who is behind all the things you had done to us?" Jake asked.May giggled."If you really want to get information from me, then you should torture me." May said, knowing that he cannot do anything to her since she is pregnant and a law in the pack had already protected pregnant women from getting any kind of punishment during their pregnancy.Jake, knowing he cannot do anything to do, barged out of the cell and went to the hospital. The doctor a
*May's pack*The Alpha received a call from an unknown number, and he was hesitant to answer it. He was encouraged by his ministers to answer the call, and he did."Hello." He said."I just want to warn you. I heard of your plans to kill May, let me tell you, that will be the most stupid thing you will ever do coz I will taunt you, I will hunt you and the situation I'm going to put you in, even Jake will not be able to do that." A voice threatened.The Alpha's face changed as he wondered who was threatening him."Who the hell are you?" The Alpha asked."I'm Jacob." Jacob answered and the Alpha laughed."Poor Jacob. I'm sure you are protecting her because you thought she is carrying your child? Well, sorry to burst your bubbles, you are not the father to her unborn child." The Alpha exclaimed, giggling."I know." Jacob said, and the Alpha immediately stopped laughing."Wait, you knew? Then why are you trying to protect her? For what?" The Alpha asked."Yes I know, and I want the child.
The news of May's arrest and the survival Amby rocked through the entire pack and send them in a shivering condition as they learned how Amby was fighting to survive in the intensive care unit while placed on a life support machine.The subjects of Jake's pack came together, praying to the Moon to quickly heal their Luna as they regretted everything they had done to her, blaming their selves for speeding the success of May succeeding in almost killing their Luna.Some guards that were Involved in May's plans which Jake was unable to find out were frightened and immediately went to visit May's father, the Alpha, to find a solution.Arriving at May's pack, the Alpha let them into his meeting room."Why do you urgently need to meet me?" The Alpha asked."We cannot continue hiding the truth from Jake. May was arrested and Jake is doing everything to drag out words from her mouth. Once she mentioned our names, we are doomed!" One of the guards yelled, shouting."If it's about May, don't wo
7 hours prior.Jerome was invested in finding out who May's mysterious backer was because he always ended up jumping in to make her escape.He sent his most paid investigator, and the investigator provided the same name as Jake had told Jerome. Jacob, but in the cost of the investigation, a new person was also discovered, Paul Walker.Shocked, Jerome called Jake and told him about the new, sudden development.Jerome did more investigation and realized that Jacob, had been protecting May because she is carrying his baby and that might be the only baby he will ever have since he was diagnosed with a rare condition that won't make him able to get a woman pregnant."If that was the case, then I highly doubt that May's pregnancy even belongs to Jacob. But who is this Paul Walker?" Jake asked, pointing at a picture."He is May's Ex boyfriend, and there is a possibility that May is pinning the pregnancy on Jacob so he will always protect her for the sake of the child." Jerome exclaimed."I c
June panicked and rushed to his unconscious body as she checked his heartbeat, calling out his name, and surprisingly, he got off.She got back on her feet, pretending not to care, while swiping her hair back."Were you worried about me?" Charles said, holding his chest."I don't care about you. The only reason I attempted to help you was because of the human conscience I have in me." June replied."I'm sorry. I will leave." Charles said and groaned as he took a step forward."If you are so sick, why didn't you consult my master, you know he can help, or is Your ego too big to ask for his help?" June asked.His face was pale, and she could see how hurt he was from his eyes."It's not my ego, June. He doesn't have any cure for my heart problem. It's not an ailment, it's a spell." Charles exclaimed and June was shocked."Spell? How?" She asked."It's fine, I'm sure you don't want to know." Charles answered."If I didn't want to know, I wouldn't have asked. But you can choose not to tell
June stared as her cousin and Ayan left, then she ran to her old room in the pack instead of leaving the territory.She was sure no one sees her and immediately started gathering every herb she could get, the ones that will stop Amby from dying after giving birth to the babies.She almost swallowed her heart when she felt a hand touched her because no one saw her coming.She turned and saw Charles, her ex-husband and one of the reasons for her pains.Her face changed and it was cold and straight."What are you doing here! I told you to stop disturbing me, didn't it?" June yelled. "I'm sorry, June, please give me a chance to explain everything to you." Charles pleaded, trying to stop her from yelling."I gave you a chance to explain years back, now whatsoever it may be, I don't care and I would rather not hear it! It's already worst that you had to find me, even after making sure no one knows I came here." June spat and scoffed."I ran after you wishing to talk to you, and I was surp
Jake tried to consoled Williams, but he just couldn't stop crying, and he can't force him to, knowing that if it was Amby that died, he didn't know what would have happened to him."Williams, I know it's not easy for you right now, but I want you to know that Lara died as a hero. She died while trying to save her Luna and I promise you, her dead will not be forgotten." Jake exclaimed."Yeah dude. Look, I know I hate your Lara, but what happened was bad. I didn't mean for her to die. Now it's time for you to channel all your pains in making sure that you give justice to Lara, and that's not by crying, that's by standing up and being a man and give May the most terrible death ever!" Jerome stated."Jerome is right Will, justice just be served for Lara, as I know her soul will never rest in peace until we serve her justice by killing May, and that too a painful death." Adams said.Their words gave him some degree of confidence, and he stood up and wiped his tears."Lara, you might have d
Jake quickly called for backup, his voice low and urgent. Meanwhile, William stared silently, his eyes scanning the surroundings. He moved with caution, trying not to make a sound as he surveyed the other group. His heart raced as he noticed they were all heavily armed.Just as William was about to retreat and report back to Jake, he saw two men carrying a body towards the beach. His heart skipped, and he froze, watching in shock as they prepared to dump the body into the water. William's mind raced with so many questions "who was the victim?" He muttered quietly. "And why were they trying to dispose of the body?" He said again. As he watched closer as he hid behind a car, closer to them.They raised the body to dispose it when a hand let out.Williams was shocked as he recognized is adorned with a bracelet. And he quickly recognized the bracelet as the same one he had once gifted to Lara on her birthday.He recalled vividly how grateful she was that night and promised to wear it all
