Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Thirty Four
I stand on the porch and watch as the car drives off, carting my mum and sister away. Things are not as they seem, something is going on with Draaven and my family and it sucks that I can't place a finger on it. But I'll take my time. If there's one thing I know for sure now, it's that I'm not crazy for my suspicions. I turn around and make my way in, Edna right behind me. “How has Trish been?”. I ask. I've not heard from her since the wedding. “She's fine, Luna”. “Let's go see her”. I make my way towards her quarters which is on the far, opposite side of the mansion. To be honest, I don't come to Trish’s quarters as often as I should and I feel a little bad about that. When I round the corner to her room, I drop a series of quick knocks on her door before making my way in. And there she is. She's standing with Nala and they look like they are having an intense conversation. When she sees me, she straightens, her face rearranging into a worn and tired smile. “Luna”. Nala bows to

Much against my will, I decide to do something that I'll most probably regret. I invite Adrian to have a private dinner with me a few days later. At this point, I'm a hundred percent sure that there's something going on, bigger than I know. The only person I can think of who can help me with information no matter how little is Adrian Ventura. I walk into the gazebo where we'll be dining, Edna behind me. I've not seen or heard from Draaven since the last time I saw him and frankly, I don't care. I've been a fool. Everything has been a lie. I had been stupid to think that he cared about me even a little bit. It's obvious now that that's not the case. No man who had feelings for a woman would treat her family so dishonourably. “How was my message received?”. I ask Edna. Earlier on, I had sent her with a message to Draaven informing him that I wasn't going to be a Luna who just sat pretty. I want some work on my hands already. After the incident with Eva, once again I can't get her word

I begin on the first task on my list, visiting and aiding the lesser privileged of the Silver Glow pack. As our car drives into the territory, I wonder why they even bother addressing it as less privileged. I've been to a couple of packs and seen different territories, this isn't nowhere close to being bad. “We'll be there in the next four minutes, Luna”. Edna says from behind me, glancing at the tablet which she reads our location and direction off of. I simply nod and sit up straighter on my seat, my mind again casting back to last night. I want to believe it was a one time mistake, Adrian probably forced himself on her and she had no option but to play along. But then I remember her head thrown back in pleasure as the suppressed moans escaped her lips. She definitely didn't look like someone who was being forced to do any of that. My mind casts back to their first meeting. She had first met him when I did, which was roughly a week ago. How did they strike up something so sensual i

“Someone will die”. The smile falls off my face so fast. I can tell I'm not the only one who's shocked as the group of people around me all go silent. And the girl…she just keeps looking at me, her odd eyes boring into my soul. “Alana!!!”. Euli rushes forward and wraps her arms tightly around the girls shoulders. It's subtle but I see her dig her fingers into the girl's shoulders as she pulls her way firm enough. She more or less shoves her towards one of the attendants. “Take her away!!!”. She whispers aggressively to her. When she turns around to face me, I'm amazed by how fast she has once again returned back to the smiling, cherubic person I first met. “I'm so sorry about that. That's Alana. She's ummm….”. She places her hand over her mouth dramatically. “....a nut case. She's one of our special needs children, you see. She's suffered from hallucinations from little and that has made her quite….loose. Poor girl”. I don't know what to say, and when I realize I'm just standin

"Luna.....". She chokes out, her eyes widened in panic. "...I...I can explain I promise". I let her go to fall to the floor in a raggedy heap, the anger simmering in my veins. "Then you better do". I snarl. She scrambles to her knees and bring her hands together in a pleading motion. I stare down at her coldly, unwilling to allow myself feel any shred of emotion for this woman. "It's not what it looks like. She....". She glances over at the girl and in that moment, I can swear I see the wheels churning in her head as she thinks of a lie. "... she's a possessed child. We've always had to go to extreme measures to keep her in check.....". "You better think of a better lie before I lose all willingness to even listen to you". I spit out menacingly. Possessions aren't common in the werewolf world, they hardly ever happen and when they do, they are not often bad spirits. The possession process is the one which leads to the emergence of sages in packs, wise men and women who are in tune w

I bury myself in work all day all alone in my office the next day. When I finally stand up, I hear my back audibly creak, a testament of how long I've been seated. This is what I do best to ease the thoughts in my head. I've been unable to process the murder of Euli and no matter how much I think about it, it makes me uncomfortable. Something just doesn't feel right. A murder they had called it. Who would murder someone right under our noses in such few minutes? It's nearly 5pm at this point and I intended to go see Alana. I head out of my office and Edna is right there…. waiting. Is she obligated to wait outside my office like this always? “How long have you been standing there?”. I ask her as I make my way towards Alana’s room. “Not long”. She doesn't offer more than that and I don't ask. Everytime I look at her, I can't help getting the image of her being railed by Adrian. And what's amazing is how she's so good at acting like nothing happened, not as much as batting an eyelash

When I go to Draaven's office, he's not there. Without thinking, I barge towards his quarters. The gamma on guard tries to tell me that nobody is allowed in but I pay him no attention as I make my way up. I don't knock before pushing the door open. Sadly, he's not in here either. The gamma is still stuttering about how the alpha wouldn't like the fact that I'm here when I stalk past him and make my way back downstairs where I left Rosa. Edna and the nanny are still at the door and when I walk in, I'm stopped in my tracks at the sight before me.Rosa is seated beside Alana on the floor right where I had been sitting in and just like me, she's helping the child shovel some sand. That's not what gets me. I see that Alana has the same smile she had flashed me, the smile that I had thought was reserved for only me. I don't know why that hurts me deeply. In the short time that I went upstairs, I don't know what she does but Alana seems to be liking her. I hate that. Not only because a petty

I hear his footsteps behind me as I make my way up the stairs to my room but I don't do him the honor of turning around.“Valeria”. He calls out. I hear him loud and clear but I give no indication that I do. Rounding the corner to my room, I feel his fingers wrap around me as he spins me around aggressively to face him. “You heard me”. He growls. “I'm not causing a scene in the hallway with you”. I hiss angrily. “If you want to talk, we do it behind closed doors”. I yank my hand aggressively from his and make my way towards my room. The gamma at my door definitely heard our exchange but his face remains stony as ever as he reaches over and pushes the door open for me. The sense of nostalgia is overwhelming for me. Growing up, I had to witness this kind of exchange between my parents a lot, where they tried to keep up a perfect image in public but were at each other's throats in private. “If you want to talk….we do it behind closed doors”.....I literally have an image of my mum saying

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

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
