Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Twenty Nine
And just like that, the day is here.As I take the first step onto the aisle, I'm aware of every pair of eyes in the room swinging around to face me. They were all already staring at the entrance before I even came in. All along, I had taken comfort in the fact that I'd have my mum by my side to walk the aisle with me. It wasn't until this morning that Trish had informed me that she wouldn't be doing that. According to her, it was indeed customary to have a parent walk you down the aisle but that wasn't the case for royal weddings, especially not one of a future Luna. You have to make that little journey on your own, a little symbolic action to show the people that you are not emotionally dependent or weak. Right now, I don't feel independent or strong.The air is filled with the slow, melancholic song the band is playing and I try to remember to move my feet in accordance to it. Standing there at the end of the aisle is him, my soon to be husband. His eyes are equally fixed on me as

The evening ends on a festive note. Music, food and drinks…. everything is in excess and everyone seems to be happy. Or at least most people. I guess these people must have been pretty desperate for a Luna. Somehow, the mood of the night has gotten to me too, and I find myself smiling naturally and swaying to the music from my seat on the high table. After the ceremony, I had been led to a backroom where I'd been changed from the mighty ceremonial ball gown to the mermaid style dress that I'm to use for the after-party. Draaven and I had opened the dance floor and as we had taken the stage, my body leaning into his and his hand placed at the small of my back as we rocked to the music, for a minute there, it had felt real. Like this was a real wedding and this was what I wanted. But of course it isn't. And I had made sure not to dwell too much on that emotion. Afterwards, I had danced with my mum and Trish. Jade came for the wedding too….of course she came. I wonder why a part of me d

I jump so hard that the dress falls from my hand in a soft rustle. And there he is. He's leaning against the door frame, his legs crossed at the ankles casually as he takes in the sight of me. My heart thunders in my chest for many reasons. Why's he here? While this is sweet…..we are not really going to consummate anything tonight…..are we? Look around, my consciousness tells me. What man goes through all this effort if he doesn't have the intention to have sex? That doesn't make me feel any better. I clear my throat awkwardly and straighten. I've not even had the chance to get out of my party dress and breathe properly."Hello….". I call out lamely. I shouldn't have said that….I should have said something more witty."Do you need help?". What's he even talking about? Do I look like I need help?"No". I reply smartly. "I don't need any help thank you". I glance around the room and turn back to him. "You….you actually did all this?". He pushes from the door frame and makes his way furt

The first thing I notice as I come down for the breakfast is that everyone is staring. The last time I felt like this was when I newly arrived here, when i stood out with my darker skin and hair. I still do, but I guess they are mostly used to it now. No one really stares like before….well, until this morning. As I come down the stairs, I strain my ears to listen in on what's being said but I only catch a few words."Left….night….". When the omegas sense my presence, they all seal shut, scurrying past me in glaring guilt. My eyebrows furrow in curiosity."What's everyone talking about?". I ask Edna as we make our way down the stairs. There's a brief moment of hesitation and it tells me everything I need to know. She knows about what's going on too."It's nothing you need to worry about, Luna".I halt in my steps and spin around to face her. "Tell me". She looks a little uncomfortable but finally she speaks."It's kinda going around that the….alpha didn't spend the night with you". My

I head towards my mother's room, dreading the moment I'll open the door and what I'll find beyond it. As much as I think about it, Adrian has no reason to lie about this. I push the door to her room open but I'm stopped in my tracks as I make my way in. Her luggage is all packed up, the two boxes she had brought along ready to be wheeled away. Ever the perfectionist, she had also smoothed out the bed and folded the sheets orderly. She looks ready to leave….but she's not here.I hurry into the room, heading straight towards the bathroom where I expect her to be. But I'm surprised to see that she's not there either. Where could she have gone? Together with Edna, I make quick trips round the room as we search for her but she's nowhere to be found. Or wait…maybe she's at Jade's room. I bolt out the door and head down the passageway to Jade's room. I push the door open urgently."Fuck, can't you knock?". She scowls and snaps at me as I make my way in. She's still very disgruntled with me….

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

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
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

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
