"At your service, Alpha.” Lena greeted him at the door and then entered Alpha Don's room to find him sitting on the couch, about to light a cigarette. ‘We infuriated him by mentioning his deceased Luna.’ her wolf whispered to her mind. She approached him and took the cigarette from him. “I won't allow you to do it.”“Why did you say that?” he lifted his head to look at her. “When did I offer that you be my acting Luna until I decide?”She lowered her head. “I apologize; I took that action to protect you from their questions. My assumption was that they were seeking an excuse to overthrow you because they all appeared to be plotting. Perhaps, faking to be your Luna and letting them know would raise another topic—that's why I said it that way.” she fell to her knees. “I am still your slave.”Alpha grinned. “Up to something? Wasn't it your plan with Nathan? Now I came to know that you ran to him after I signed the contract to bring this up. Though I am the Mafia Don, rape is still illeg
The Alpha Don was still asleep when Lena cooked and brought his dinner on the table the following morning. She walked to the bed and held his arm, “You were awake before I left to prepare the meal, why won't you stand to eat?”His eyes shot wide open. As he waited for the food, he fell asleep once more. He got off the bed gently, took a seat on the couch, and Lena brought him his meal. "You are not my Luna anymore—you are back to being my slave."Lowering her head, she nodded. “What shall I do for you?”“Bring my Beta here. I have a lot to discuss with him.”As he instructed, she left the room and called on his Beta, but she did not bother entering the room again.Entering the chamber, Beta Tyrion bowed before his Alpha. “His Majesty called on me. It's good to see you eating.”Alpha scoffed. "Come on in, I am planning something."He came closer to Alpha and squatted. “At your service…..”“Send a secret inspector to Nathan's Pack. I need him to be monitored, including the ongoing activ
"How can I easily get rid of him without raising any red flags? One that won't implicate Lena….” While sharing a drink in his room, Nathan asks his Beta questions. Knowing that he had spent the night with Odessa, he had dismissed her at dawn. Despite how horrible it makes him feel, he would not want to get closer to her. Beta sniffled. "I found out that Lena is no longer a slave in the palace. She puts on the royal gown and is graced by the Don. I wonder what he's implementing because even Lena knows that he will never crown her his Luna.” "And I will not let that happen; that is why I must act quickly before he falls in love with Lena and considers crowning her—" he sipped from his glass of wine. “But, was Lena saying the truth? I had assumed that she had made that up. Was she going to be Luna in no time?” Beta was mute. At that moment, he was unsure of the appropriate response to provide. "What if Lena did not mean it, and he pursued the matter further? Don Dante will never let
The sun had set, and the Alpha Don had finished his work for the day. Still, on the veranda, his Beta approached him. “Your Majesty!” he bowed and led the way. "I went to the business board and learned about the kidnapping."Don halted his steps. “And what is it about? Did you get to see their faces?”He shook his head. “Not at all. It became even more suspicious when it turned out that the security personnel in charge of the camera surveillance had all been transferred. It turned out that the female employee I had to bribe was unaware of what was happening. Nevertheless, she provided me with information about their new location.” Beta giggled. “I can see. Recalling her is one of the sweetest things. She must suit you.” Don grinned, biting his lower lip. “Did you get to see any of the transferred staff?”Beta nodded, still giggling. “He showed me the video of the gangs.” He brought out his cell phone and put on the video. Alpha stood at the side to watch the video. He shook his head
Don zipped up her gown as she turned her back on him. She looked like she was actually happy that she would be walking with her enemy and that she would have the chance to ask some questions. She turned to face him, glad that he wasn't moody too.“You would pay for having a walk with me. Gaining that opportunity is difficult—even the Alpha Kings would not have it.” Alpha Don stated, grinning at her. He stretched his hands to her, “Have it, and make sure to pay for this.”She bowed to her. “I will, Your Majesty.”The servants bowed and gazed at them as they walked out of the room together, walking side by side. Mistress Evelyn stumbled upon them and retreated before heading out onto the veranda.She bowed and glared at Lena, saying, "Your Majesty!"Alpha halted. “It's been a long time. A Mistress that doesn't check on her Master.”She chuckled. "At your service. I only had to let Elena get used to her position.” she locked eyes with Lena who gave her a mockery look. “I could make you s
"Take the lead," Alpha Don commanded his Beta as they went into the basement and then into the cold room where the corpse of the inspector was laid. He undressed and threw away the cotton that had covered his body.He hissed and kept staring at the corpse. “I just regret sending him out there.”"You should not be too concerned about it because he pledged to serve you with his life." Beta tried to console him.Alpha began checking the corpse thoroughly, hissing repeatedly. “Something is odd about his death….” he turned to the Beta. “How come there is not a cut, stab, or gunshot? Did he just die that way? Was he ever sick?”Beta shook his head. Before one is appointed to be a secret inspector, he has to undergo some levels of tests, to check his medical, physical, and mental stability…..which makes it tough for an unhealthy person to get such a position.“Like it's always done, I also checked his health and he was stable enough to go for the job. I wonder how he passed away because he d
The room fell silent as Lena and the Alpha Don glared at themselves. Her palms transfixed on her waist, face twisted. "I have to accompany you. You can't leave me here to get punished by your mistress.” her voice was shaky.She would not stay behind in the palace while he left with his troops and his Beta for inspection, even though she knew she had no right to tell him what to do. Since the Don has been caring for her for the past four days while she has been menstruating, the Mistress will see that as an opportunity to deal with her.“Not that you will support me if I strike back when she treads on my toes. You will still punish me for disrespecting your Mistress when you return….so it will be better if I go with you,” she added, almost in tears. "Besides, I should follow you around since I am your slave."He laughed heartily. "When you are the false Luna, you ought to have enough time to investigate the inner court. Isn't it?”She shook her head. “I have nothing to do with the inne
In the Celestial Pack, they lodged in a resort. Beta had brought forth the uniform they would be putting on. It looked casual and came with a mask and cap that would disguise them. Lena had her own on herself and stood before the mirror to see how it looked on her. “Simple, but has a Mafia vibe….”She grinned and turned to the Alpha. "Is this the way the Mafias dress when they want to make a subtle move?"He grimaced. “Why do you seek an answer? To tell Nathan how we dressed?”Her limb became weak. She was not expecting such a rude response, nor was she expecting him to be nice to her though. "I didn't mean to enrage you," she said, folding her arms against her chest as she looked in the mirror. "What precisely are they looking for in Nathan's Pack?" She gave him a side look.When the food they had ordered arrived, Beta got up and went out of the room. Alpha was ready to eat, but seeing that Lena was about to do the same, he let out a loud hiss. “Watch your master eat first. It's a co
An applause echoed in the hall as Elena and Alpha Dante shared their drinks.He kissed her cheek, and they sat back in their seats. On their head lay a diamond crown that signifies the Supreme Rulers of the werewolf packs, and on Lena's side was Alpha Prince Kendrick, seated on his royal little chair while Odessa was taking care of him.The ceremony was coming to an end. The pack members were all eating, drinking, and jubilating.Along the line, Elena recalled what Odessa told her about Susan. At that moment, she averted her gaze to Susan, who was a bit calm. She studied her belly and noticed something he had never been interested in.She could tell that it was the reason Susan barely showed up before her since she returned back to the palace. She must have been scared that she would find out and abandon her or Alpha sending her back to the slave yard…whereas, sneaking out of the palace wasn't a better option as Alpha would find her and she would face the penalty of her offense.About
CHAPTER 45 Darkness covered the sky. Alpha Dante took Lena to the mountain where they would watch the moon together while their child was under the care of Odessa and Alfred.They had come along not just to watch the moon but to get two things done. Alpha was set to burn to ashes everything that had to do with his deceased Luna and forget about her entirely, while Lena was to perform a little funeral to please the spirit of his deceased Luna and daughter.Together, they set the belongings on fire and watched as it burnt under the moon.Lena leaned on his shoulder, her face contorted. If she was told that she would ever take the place of his deceased Luna, she wouldn't believe it. Here she was, watching as everything that had to do with his Luna was turning to ashes to be forgotten till eternity all because of her.When the fire went down, she got to her knees, beginning the funeral, and he joined her. Tears gathered in her eyes as she recalled the day her father was killed and how s
CHAPTER 44 Five months later,When Alpha noticed the baby was about to cry, he stood from the sofa and walked towards Lena, who was busy organizing the bed. “Look, he must be hungry. Why not breastfeed him?” He drew Lena's attention.She glanced at her baby's face and grinned before taking him into her arms. She sat on the bed, loosening her blouse, and then began breastfeeding the child while Alpha Dante watched. Staring at the child as his lips motioned made him recall how he suckled on Lena's nipples before she got pregnant—and he must admit that he missed it so much.If he could perform magic for his child to grow faster so he can resume the interesting game he doesn't skip, he wouldn't hesitate to do it.After staring for a long time, he got seated beside Lena, running his fingers in the baby's hair. “He's five months and two weeks old, yet we haven't haven't given him a name.” he lifted his face to find Lena gazing at him. “What name do you think will suit the son of a Mafia Do
CHAPTER 43 Late at night, the royal chef had packed up her essential belongings and was ready to exit the palace. She had never felt comfortable from the day she poisoned Evelyn's meal and heard of her death.Each time she recalls that, her chest pounds harder like it would break into pieces.She sneaked out of the palace through the back gate, hoping to sleep over in any tavern she came across and then continue her journey the next day.The palace was scary for her to stay. She believes her life won't be spared if her offense is ever disclosed and she is aware that Bianca, who was the mastermind, will go scot-free.As she walked along the way, taking glances at the back several times, she clutched her left palm to her chest while hastening her step. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a lady walking ahead of her with another at the front.She halted. “I can't be caught—” nibbling on her bottom lip, she stepped back a bit, only to march on a piece of cloth. As she stared at the floor,
CHAPTER 42 Alpha Dante took two steps forward and then swirled his neck backwards to see Tyrion kneeling on the floor with blood gushing down his face. He darted his eyes around until he met Lucas, who was taking a slow walk towards him. “Lucas!!”“Alpha Don!!” Lucas bowed to him the moment he approached closer. “I took you unaware. I'm sorry for that….” he bowed again.Alpha glanced at Tyrion, who was still kneeling and touched his shoulder. He fell with his face landing on the floor.“Now, you are sure that he's dead…” Lucas kicked Tyrion and shifted to the other side. “I saw him stalking you from the club, and I understood you were after him because he was supposed to be executed.” he looked at his gun and put it into his pocket. Alpha looked at Alfred, who was still lying on the floor and seemed to have passed out due to the fear, and then he looked back at Lucas. “Let's bury him! No one should know what happened….”Lucas agreed and joined hands with him as they lifted Tyrion an
CHAPTER 41 For safety precautions, and because Alpha Dante was still recovering, Lena insisted that he wouldn't go after Tyrion yet. She wanted him to be captured and prayed that Alfred was safe, but he wouldn't allow Don to go after him in his state of health.Three days had elapsed since they left the hospital and returned to the palace. Alpha Don insisted that he would go after Tyrion, knowing so well that Tyrion would be waiting for him.Lena sat on the bed with her child asleep in her arms. She watched as Don got dressed, stalling on himself different types of guns and bullets. He had his cap and dark glasses. “You look stunning, just like an assassin….” she complimented and grinned. “I wonder if I'd ever be trained like you….”“No need!!” he had his gloves on. “I'll channel the strength to our child instead…..”She nodded, loving the response she got from him. “So, how long would it take? Are you going to bring him here or…”“I'll have him killed there. There's no need to bring
CHAPTER 40 In the royal infirmary, Lena was laid on the bunk and was receiving treatment. Nurses and Doctors surrounded her while Don sat on the bed at the side watching as they were trying to restore her.The energy he had consumed kept her breathing until they reached the hospital, but it seemed it had been consumed, and she was going to pass on if time wasn't taken. Her life lies in the hands of the doctors since his wolf is still recuperating from the energy used to restore her.He had lost lots of blood as well, but that wasn't an issue to him as it was.“Get the defibrillator! Fast!!!” the doctor yelled, and the nurses ran helter-skelter to get it done.Don swallowed his saliva, staring at Lena's lifeless body. The beeping sound of the monitor could tell that she was in a terrible condition and might give up soon, so he prayed persistently to the moon goddess to forgive his mistakes and give Lena a second chance.The doctor, once given the defibrillator, began shocking her hear
CHAPTER 39 Seconds after the car was crashed by the long truck, Alpha Dante slowly pulled himself out from under the car, bleeding on the leg. He tried as much as he could to dodge the truck but intentionally hit Lena, knowing that the truck would do so if he didn't.He had tried to view the plate number of the truck, but it had none, which made him understand that it was a setup. So, hitting Lena himself would save her rather than letting the truck do so.Gradually, he stood from the ground and looked around the corner. The truck was still alarming, and he could hear murmurs from it. He glanced at his car and scoffed—it was fucking damaged beyond repair.“Lena!!” he nibbled on his bottom lip and began searching for her while still bleeding. He needed to leave that spot first to save her life before any other thing.Hearing her soft groans like one battling for life, he rushed over to her cold body lying lifeless on the floor. He squatted before her and placed his ear on her chest—he
CHAPTER 38 As Lena left, Alfred released a deep breath. He looked around to see the armed men almost close to him. He shook his head, “I'm not their priority. They can still leave me to live and go after her…” he looked at the direction Lena took. “We have to meet again, Lena. We didn't grow together, but I felt that bond. We have to live and spend time together…even if we won't have parents anymore.”His lips pulled apart slightly. He glanced around and found a heavy stone, which he grabbed.“They can't find me either. They won't find us. We don't have to lose each other after meeting again. My mother is also waiting for me.” he blinked, letting his tears roll down his cheeks.With all his might, he threw the stone to a distance, and it rolled over, going down deeper.He chuckled as the men felt that was the direction they took and headed towards the area. He slowly got to his feet and took the other way, heading to a destination he didn't know.When he felt he had walked enough and
