Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Eight
""What's my schedule like today?". I ask Anna as she hands me a steaming cup of coffee as per my daily routine. "Meeting with the event planners from 12-2pm. Basic Combat lessons from 4-6pm, Luna". My brows fly high in surprise. "Combat? I'm being taught combat now too?". "So it seems, Luna". I scoff loudly and swivel around on my chair to face the mirror. I wonder what basic combat skills they think the daughter of Lyon Heroux wouldn't have. I find this lesson a bit insulting but isn't that my entire existence in this new pack? Who is counting? I down my cup of coffee and proceed to get made up for the day. We focus on skincare this time, layering on all of my favorite skincare products. I don't expect any combat lessons to be held indoors, it's only best to be prepared in my own little way. I dab on a slash of pink hued lipgloss and start getting dressed, my mind unsettled for some reason. I've not seen Draaven since the day he followed me to my room. I don't know if that's a g

I aim at the bull's eye and fire. I miss…..of course. Archery has never been my forte, and more so when I'm agitated. All through the meeting with the event planners, I had been detached, my mind uneasy and restless. The planning team had been a group of three, very excited, very chatty women whom I had left scandalized by my request to wear a red dress for the wedding and coronation. Of course, they hadn't agreed, discussing reasons why I shouldn't like it's a world war I'm about to start. I yielded in the end because even though, they were not direct about it, they insinuated that they'd lose their jobs and possibly their heads if they dressed me in something like that. We had proceeded to go over the little details, decor, food, cake and drink flavours. All the little things I'd have probably been excited to discuss if circumstances were different and this was a wedding I was actually looking forward to. When the meeting ended, I had been more than glad to finally escape their com

Much against my will, Luca's words keep ringing in my head. At 5'9 and with an athletic lifestyle, I do tend to look thinner than I actually weigh but this time, it's different. I've truly lost weight massively since I came into this pack. As begrudging as I feel, maybe I do need to eat more and hit the gym. And that's exactly what I do on this evening.I change into a pair of comfortable gym wear and let Anna lead me to the location. Stopping a good distance from the doorway, she informs me that it's a private gym for only the alpha and I and that she wasn't allowed in. I don't complain, I doubt I'd have had much use for her anyways since I have my headphones. I begin my usual routine and it's only when I start to feel the slow burn in my muscles that I acknowledge that maybe I've done enough for the night. And even then, I don't stop. If I'm going to be the strongest possible version of myself, I'm going to have to push my body way harder than I normally would. Everyone here is an

I'm hit by an overwhelming wave of nausea as I slowly regain consciousness. I think I can will it away at first, keep my eyes closed and force the contents of my stomach to stay down. But that proves to be a big fail when I'm lurched up from the bed by the aggressive upheaval. I throw my head over the side of the bed, launching everything inside me onto the shiny floor.I don't know how long I remain there, puking out my guts but at some point, I feel someone's warm hand on my back as they pat me reassuringly. When I'm done, I feel the most hollow I've ever felt. In this moment, it's hard to believe I still have organs inside of me, it really does. It feels like I've thrown it all up. My eyes flit open a tiny fraction and that's when I see that all along, it's not just the shiny floor I've been puking on. There's a pair of smart, now puke-covered shoes in front of me. I try to muster some strength to form the words to apologize to whoever it is but it's just not happening. My body col

I stare into the mirror blankly as I pull the brush through my severely tangled hair. The past two days have gone by in a daze, with me trying to uphold a strong facade in front of everyone and then going ahead to cry myself to sleep every night. I'm not a crier, have never really been. But the emotional exhaustion of my situation is beginning to get to me. I knew I wasn't welcome here but an assassination attempt and by someone like Anna is extreme even for me. I find myself thinking of her at the most random times. I remember how excited she had been on the first day we met. What had been going through her head? Was this her plan all along? Did she act alone? Had there been other attempts that failed? What finally made her break that day? And most importantly, what did I do to deserve that?I need some kind of closure, but I definitely won't be getting that anytime soon, if not ever. But in the mean time, I'm once again reminded of the fact that I can never get too comfortable arou

I didn't think it was possible for the room to grow any more quiet than it already was but I was so wrong. I go as stiff as a rod as all the eyes fix on me. I push up from my seat slowly, the anger simmering under my skin."What did you say?". I ask the detective. He plants his hands on the table and leans forward, unsmiling. "I'll repeat myself if you so wish. You are under investigation under the suspicions of faking an assassination attempt and murdering your omega". My body goes cold, so cold that I feel the goosebumps rise on my skin. I glance around the room and to my own surprise, nobody seems too shocked at the accusations. Even Trish. Instead they are all looking at me curiously, waiting for an answer. In this moment, I realize exactly what has been happening. This was never a meeting to investigate, it was a meeting to interrogate me. I fall back to my seat in shocked realization. "So this is what this has been about?". I whisper, the betrayal evident in my voice. I don't

I'm sitting alone in my room when I hear the knock. I glance at the door, hesitant to open it. It has to be Trish on the other side of it, I can just tell. After the meeting yesterday, I had walked out of the board room and straight to my quarters, locking the door behind me and making no moves to open it ever since. A part of me definitely feels betrayed by Trish. As much as I understand that she owes me nothing and also doesn't trust me as much as the rest, it still hurts to know she was aware fully aware of the suspicions all this time and has probably considered them herself. So when she had followed me upstairs yesterday night, I had been loathe to open the door. I'm not sure what to say or how to act.A second round of knocks land on the door, more firmly this time."Valeria, please open up". She calls out. I stare at the door emptily, considering my options. In all honesty, I can't hide here forever. I'm going to have go out there and face the world at some point. But maybe I'm

"Luna!!!!". The event planners yelp excitedly as I walk into the room. I remind myself to paste a smile on but this is really going to be hard. I'm beyond loathe to do any of this, plan a wedding like it's not about to be the worst day of my life. It has come as a great disappointment to me when I found out that Draaven is not willing to cancel the wedding. I'd think this would be the perfect excuse to. "Hey….". I call out warmly as I lean forward and give each of them a short hug. They are dressed in outrageous outfits ranging from feather to fur. These people only seem to get worse each time I meet them. "... it's nice to see y'all again". I'm getting better at this lying thing. I make intentional efforts to keep the smile on my face as I walk further into the room with them."Of course, of course it is". Raya, who seems to be the head says. "We've worked so hard to ensure your dresses are finished within the given time frame. Are you excited to try them on?". She sounds so gleeful

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

“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
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Eighty Five
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”.

Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Eighty Four
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
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Eighty Three
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
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Eighty One
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
