Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Eighty Nine
The war had been going on outside. Explosions were shaking the grounds of Shadowflame and I was in the armory issuing out more weapons when i had seen my mum rushing towards me. “Mumm!!!!”. I had screamed running towards her. “What are you doing here? You should be at the tower!!!!”. Her eyes had looked frenzied. “Come come”. She had grabbed my arm and pulled me towards a corner of the room. “Mum what's wrong?”. “You have to go to Silver Glow right now”. I had stared at her like she was crazy. Silver Glow? Why the hell would I ever go to Silver Glow, the territory of our long term enemies. “What are you talking about?”. “Valeria, listen to me”. She gripped my hands shakily, her eyes wide and panicked. “You need to listen to me. Go to Silver Glow and ask of the alpha, Draaven Ventura. Tell him I sent him to you”. “Mum those are the enemies. Why would they do anything to help you?”. “Just listen to me!!!!!”. She had yelled. “Just tell him I sent him to you, that the long time p

The minute I walk through the door, I feel it, the toxic waves of hatred radiating from them. Perspiration dampens my underarms as I come to a stop in front of the room, my face a cold, ungiving mask. I might be here to beg for help but I'm not going to give them the satisfaction of seeing me weep."The alpha will be here in a few minutes". The gamma who had led me into the room whispers into my ear, leaning in as close as she can manage. So far, she's been the warmest of them all….and she's far from warm. If the pack members are like this, I can only imagine what the alpha is like. The thought is barely through my head when the announcer's voice blares through the room. "The alpha arrives!!!!". She announces. All around me, the pack members quickly rise to their feet, heads bowed in respect. I do the same, my heart thudding in my chest nervously. And even though I can't see him, I feel it the moment he enters the room.It starts out as a dull sense of awareness at first, and then in

What have I done?I stare transfixed as everyone in the room files out, leaving behind only Draaven and I. He's still staring at me, a look of amusement on his face. When the door closes behind the last person, I finally bring myself to look at him and the longer I stare at his face, the more furious I become."Why?". I ask quietly, my voice thick with emotions. I take a step closer, my fists clenching at my sides. "Why did you do that?"."You are going to have to clarify what you are talking about, kitten".I suck in air sharply. "Do not….call me that". I hiss. The smirk widens on his lips and he pushes to his feet suddenly, taking bold strides towards me till he's standing in front of me. Our bodies are only a few inches apart and as angry as I am, I still feel the sudden urge to lean into him. I take a step back. "Why did you ask me to marry you?".He thrusts his hands into his pockets and cocks his head at me. "To be clear….i wasn't asking. And what's wrong with me wanting to wed

My heart sinks to my feet as we drive into Silver Glow territory. This is really happening. I've spent the last five days in a haze, my days passing in a blur as I prepared to leave. Each day, I waited for a messenger to bring a message informing me that he was no longer interested and wanted to terminate the bond….it never came."Are you nervous?". I jerk at the sound of my father's voice from beside me. He decided to travel with me for this trip and I don't know how I feel about that. I can't seem to erase the look of horror on his face when I had brought back our copy of the agreement. He hadn't even been aware that I went to Silver Glow for help…..because it was Mama who had sent me."What have you done, mi amor?". He had asked, his blood stained fingers trembling as he gripped the paper tightly. And I had said nothing. I might have made a bad decision, but at least my family and pack were safe….the only thing that mattered.When he had said he'd follow me on this trip today, I ha

I don't know how I manage to hold up during the whole makeup process but I do. My mind is faraway, rummaging through the recent events in my life, so when the attending omega taps my shoulder lightly to inform me that I'm ready, I'm very startled. I look at my reflection in the grand floor length mirror, taking in the icy blue hue of my dress and the matching silver details and accessories, representing the color of Silver Glow. I want to ask them what they did with my red dress….but am I sure I really want to know? They've put my hair up and wiped off my red lipstick, swapping it with a peachy nude one. If left to me, I'd never do my makeup like this in a million years."They are calling for you in the banquet hall, Luna". The omega says, head bowed courteously. Luna? Is that what I am now? And most importantly, am I really going to be treated like a Luna. I shove all those thoughts to the back of my mind and give a slight nod, following the omega out the door and towards the faint

"I think I'm done here".Draaven's hand comes to rest on my arm and I stiffen. Everyone in the hall is suddenly even more engrossed in our exchange and I have to remind myself not to give away too much, not to feed the prowling eyes of these vultures."I have an announcement to make after dinner. You should probably stay back for that". He chose the right set of words to make himself look good but underneath all that faux sweetness, I hear the hardness in his voice. He's not giving me an option here. I have to stay back. With my heart thundering in my chest, I sit back down, clenching my fists by my side as I resist the urge to punch something. Once I'm seated, most of the people go back to their meal, with only a few still stealing glances. I lean back against my seat and fold my hands on my lap. This night couldn't possibly go slower, I can't wait for all of this to be over.Shutting out the noise around me, I sink into my own thoughts as the chatter continues. Even when dessert is

I wake up as early as 7am the next day. I barely got any sleep throughout the night so when I finally see the first rays of sunlight filtering in through the windows, it feels like an escape. I go ahead to fix myself a hot bath. The water does me good and I don't get out of it till I begin to feel it go cold. Clad in a fluffy terry robe, I make my way to my bedroom, intent on the task of drying my hair. I hear the door to my living room open and my brows furrow worriedly. I'm not expecting anyone. I hear the soft footsteps of people as they make their way in and my confusion grows. I walk into the room to see a small group of smartly dressed omegas, wheeling in rows and rows of dresses, all in varying shades ranging from white to silver to blue to black. The one who seems to be the head turns to me when she hears me come in, a pleasant smile pasted on her face."Good morning, Luna". The others chorus the greeting, their voices much more timid. "Umm….good morning. What…. what's going

That night, I'm informed that I'll be having dinner with the Venturas, all of them. I'm not exactly sure how many they are supposed to be but I'm very nervous at the idea of meeting them. Not sure what the setting will be like, we decide to go for a semi formal look, pulling my long hair up into a ponytail and throwing on a pair of casual two-piece. "How did you find your first lessons, Luna?". Anna asks as she works on my hair from behind in the mirror. The history class had practically lasted forever with the sharp eyed woman drawling on and on about their own warped versions of history. Half of the class was me resisting the urge to scream "that's not what I was taught". But what did I expect though? As they say, no one is a villian in their own versions of the truth.The Internal Affairs lesson….when I had heard I'd be learning my duties as a Luna, I definitely didn't expect to be taught the numerous ways to pleasure a grown man in bed. My shock had been inexplicable as I listene

“Because you were my perfect revenge against your father”.I feel cold hearing the words from his mouth like this. “My father? What did my father do?”.“Valeria can we sit….”. “I'm not going to sit. I'm perfectly fine where I am”. He sighs again and runs his fingers through his thick hair.“I told you about Lilly….”. Adrian was right after all. It was about Lilly, it always has been. “....I didn't tell you the full truth. She left me…but she was taken first”. My knees really feel like jelly right now and I realize that maybe I do need to sit down after all. I hobble towards the nearest seat and settle into it. He reaches forward to aid me but I more or less swat his hand away. I don't need anything but the truth from his right now.“Tell me everything I need to know. From the beginning to the end”. He comes to settle down in the seat Adrian had been sitting on just earlier. And then he begins talking.“A couple of decades ago, Silver Glow was still ruled by the Fulstein clan”. Fulste

The first thing I think to myself as his words sink in me is ‘what the fuck is he talking about’. What pawn? What revenge game? I feel the dots are staring me right in the face and I can't just seem to connect them. The confusion must be evident on my face because right now, it's Adrian that's laughing and not me anymore.“She doesn't get it. She doesn't get it”. He doubles over and laughs like it's the funniest thing he has ever seen or heard. And I just look down at him, still unsure of what he's talking about. “You mentioned how I was a low dirt bag for using Edna, what you don't know if you were being used all along too. Not just by me. Ever wondered why Silver Glow and Shadowflame have never been friends despite not even being in the same territory? Ever wondered why Draaven didn't hesitate to marry you even though you were both of different worlds? I've heard tales of the time your father came here, ever wondered why he wasn't treated warmly by him? There have been so many clues

His eyes widen at my words and it's literally the funniest thing I've seen for a very long time. My laughter rings through the garden and I can tell that it's only pissing him off more. He lunges up from his seat and towards me, wrapping his fingers around my neck as he drags me up and slams me against the wall. I'm knocked out of air for just the slightest moment before I resume laughing. His face contours in anger as his grip tightens around my neck."The faster your....heart beats....". I choke out. ".....the faster the poison....works". His breath is still coming out fast but grudgingly, he releases my neck and focus on the task of regulating his breathing. I cough as the burning sensation fills my throat. "That wasn't a nice thing to do". I say breathlessly as I run my fingers over the sensitive skin on my neck he had been gripping. He doesn't say anything as he focuses on his breathing exercises. "Especially to someone who has your antidote". I stumble to my seat and reach for m

When I wake up the next morning, I meet Draaven already dressing up for work. With a small serene smile on my face, I stay back on the bed and watch him as he obliviously goes around dressing up, totally unaware that I'm now awake. When he goes back into his closet to retrieve a piece of clothing, I get up fully naked and go to stand by the door for him. On his way back out, he's quite surprised to see me but I immediately see the reaction I have on him. His eyes rake over my entire body frame and I see the sly, naughty smile begin to settle on his face, indicating that he already has thoughts going through his head.“You are awake”. He says, his eyes lingering on my boobs. I do what I do intentionally and take several steps towards him till I'm standing directly in front of him. I lean in on my tiptoes and plants the most delicate kiss on his earlobe and just like an engine, he seems to have been turned on.“You can't drive me crazy like this when you are just waking up, my love”. A

I sit on the floor like that and cry my eyes out for the next thirty minutes at least. I only push up to my feet when my stomach growls noisily. I've not had anything to eat since morning. Washing the tear tracks on my face, I reach for my purse and make my way upstairs. I don't feel truly safe till the door to my room closes behind me. With a big sigh, I throw my bag onto the nearest furniture and make my way straight towards the bathroom, shedding off my clothes on the way. By the time I get there, I'm totally naked and I don't even wait for the bath to fill up before I lower myself into it. I run the tap onto my body and into the tub simultaneously, the sound of the water zoning me out.I take the coldest bath I can manage and throw on a comfortable pair of pants and a tank top. And then I settle down on my dining table and eat the meal that must have been brought into my room earlier. As I sit there alone, and as I eat, I realize that I feel even more alone than usual. I ignore th

The days go by in various shades of grey. Nothing seems to please me anymore and I'm not interested in doing a lot of things. In the days, I just try to occupy my time by immersing myself in work and in the nights, I go to bed early and cry myself to sleep. Draaven has come around a few times but if there's anywhere below a zero, that's exactly where my energy was. He seems to be worried about me but I just want to be left alone.It's only now that she's gone that I realize that there isn't much that I do without her. She's always present in my days and my activities, from the simplest tasks like getting my bath water ready to more complex things like sorting out my schedules and planning my days. I had thought I'd be able to do it on my own at first but each time I did it, I only realized how hard it was actually organizing a schedule. And I had gotten so frustrated that I had cried my eyes out again and damned Edna for leaving me all alone in this place. On most days, my dinners are
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Eighty Two
Suddenly, it feels like a huge picture has been painted in front of me. And right now, everything seems to make sense a thousand times more.The deaths.Edna.Adrian.Me.It was all a big web woven by Adrian to trap all of us in. He manipulated and used Edna's feelings so he could in turn get to me. Everything is an interconnected web of plans….and right there at the end of it, supposedly the prize of the day is me. But to what end? During our few interactions, I personally don't think Adrian has ever shown more than the usual interest in me. This is all coming as one big surprise. How long has he been weaving this web? How long ago did all of this even start?“Oh….oh..my God…..”. That's all I can say as everything dawns on me. Edna looks at me with a small smile on her face. “You understand everything now, don't you?”. I do, I've never seen a clearer picture. I remember my mind going to Edna as Adrian had professed his so-called feelings. I had wondered to myself what exactly was ha

My breath hitches in my chest at her words but I make sure not to show too many emotions or express how deeply her words have surprised me. She takes another swig of her wine and sighs heavily.“I loved that bastard”. She says with a chuckle but I hear the pain in her voice. “And he damn well took advantage of that”. She goes back to being quiet and I wait for her to continue. When she doesn't, I realize I can't wait forever. I need answers now. So I begin some questioning of my own.“What happened? Tell me everything that happened between the both of you….and how exactly we landed here”. She lets out another sigh before talking.“We met shortly after he arrived. He was an asshole but….”. She chuckles and turns to me. “... y'know….back in the guild, they always told me something. Based off my dating history, they told me that I was always attracted to the scums of the earth”. She chuckles deeper. “I've proven them right once again”. I don't share in the laugh and when it dies down, sh
