  I glared at Alpha Kane with seethed teeth. He was going to use this to his advantage. Playing me like one would play a game, using my dearest sister to achieve what he wants. To get what he wants from me. 

  

  The smug smile was still plastered on his face even when I said that word. I wanted to tell him over and over again. “Go To Hell!!” But I tried to calm myself down even when I couldn't. 

  

  I shouldn't understimate Alpha Kane, he can and will do whatever it takes to get what he wants from me.  Keeping Fiona hostage is a way to prove that. He'd go to any length to get me to do what he wants. 

  

  “I'm running out of patience, Leona” He said, his voice jolting me back to reality. 

  

  He had been waiting for me to make a decision which I aren't sure of yet.

  

  One thing I know is that I wouldn't let Fiona suffer because of me. Her most trusted friend had betrayed her, Fiona had trusted and loved Gilbert so much but he let her down. He practically let the both of us down because I was always glad that Fiona had someone like him. 

  

  “I…..” I paused, swallowing so hard. It was difficult to spell it out to his face that I'd do what he wants. But I have to do this for Fiona. She's trapped because of me. 

  

  “I will do what you want, Alpha Kane, I will be your mole in Alpha Zane's kingdom.” I declared through seethed teeth. 

  

  His laughter echoed through the hallway. It irked me and I wished once again, I could tear that man apart. He was laughing so scornfully at the pain piercing through my hearts. 

  

  My gaze flickered to Fiona who was on the ground being held by guards. A tear slid down my face although I tried to prevent it from falling. 

  

  Our gaze locked and I couldn't help but pour out all the silent sobs I had tried to hold in. 

  

  “Nice choice you have made, Leona,” Alpha Kane said, making my heart flutter. Stupid me! He isn't my mate, he rejected me flatly yet I still shudder hearing him call my name that sweetly. 

  

  I glared at him hoping I could slide a knife at his throat like the professional assassin I had always been. But my disability wouldn't let me. And even if I wasn't disabled. I wouldn't be foolish enough to take that reckless step seeing Fiona was still being held captive by him. 

  

  His voice came, “You need to earn his trust, get close to him, then kill him, making sure he wouldn't survive” Alpha Kane said with a smirk, one which sent shivers down my spine. 

  

  “Alpha Kane!” I called, pouring all my hatred into the name. He stopped his long laugh which had irked me all along, his gaze pierced through mine as our eyes locked. His blue electrifying eyes failing to do the wonders it usually does whenever I see those orbs. 

  

  “My sister…..What will happen to her?” I asked, then realized I had asked the wrong question. I quickly backtracked. 

  

  “You should release her since you already got what you want from me through your cowardly act” I spat out not caring what the weights of my words might come with. 

  

  “Release her? If I do, then that would be against the rule of the law here, she led a coup remember?” Alpha Kane said, his gruff voice entering deeply into my head. 

  

  He was trying to remind me of a coup I will never be convinced that Fiona did. Fiona was not trying to defend herself not was Gilbert trying to defend her. But I know better than I'm witnessing…..

  

  Alpha Kane continued, “She still have to be punished, and will be kept in prison” He said, in a voice which seems like he was declaring to the guards. 

  

  No! Fiona shouldn't be in prison, she shouldn't! 

  

  “Take her away,” I heard a loud commanding voice said. 

  

  “No!” I yelled but they didn't stop, they dragged her away as I could hear her whimpering. I tried to wheel my chair towards them but was prevented by the guards who stopped me. 

  

  Fiona was dragged away completely as a pang of guilt rushed in. I realized that was probably the last time I would be seeing her before I leave the Crestwood. 

  

  I looked up at Alpha Kane again, my anger burning through my eyes. 

  

  “You are a monster, Alpha Kane, you do not deserve to be called a royal, tormenting people through your status!” I said, not calmly but I tried so hard not to yell. 

  

  “Get me everything you can on Alpha Zane's kingdom, Leona, I wish you luck!” He said with a smile, a smile anyone would fall for, a smile which hid so much deceit. A smile which the citizens could kill for defending their king if I ever tried to make any accusation. 

  

  He turned, heading back into the palace, as I watched his back. Gilbert also followed behind him, locking eyes with me one last time before he left. The eyes that were full of remorse but couldn't defend Fiona but still rat her out. 

  

  I gritted my teeth picturing me when I was still in the Creed, when I was the fierce lady I was but no longer that. One of the Creed best assassin's. Seeing Alpha Kane walked back into the palace. The thought of stabbing him from behind struck me but my disability would only get me killed. 

  

  I walked out of the palace grounds heading back home as eyes were on me, all gossiping about me. Some people didn't mind saying it to my face about me being the disabled rejecteed Alpha’s mate but I didn't care. I was glad that they didn't crack raw egg shells on my body or throw vegetables at me. 

  

  All that was on my mind was how to get to Alpha Zane's kingdom, how to carry out the mission Alpha Kane had just handed over to me and saving Fiona .

    After Alpha Kane had explained everything he wanted me to do, a thought also struck my mind. The thought of getting Fiona to run away with me to Alpha Zane's kingdom!!! I wondered why I hadn't thought of that before, escaping with Fiona to the pack where he had sent me. Alpha Kane wouldn't be able to find us in Alpha Zane's kingdom that easily. I made up my mind to strike tonight, and tried all I could to get her out despite my disability. I stared at the time from the moment I thought of that till it was the night I had been patiently waiting for Hera growled telling me she wasn't supporting what I had plan on doing, but I wasn't going to listen to her. Alpha Kane had rejected us, she shouldn't be like this. I wheeled myself out of the house into the dark street which was quiet. Everyone was probably in their homes already and this was the perfect timing. It reminded me of the days I used to be an assassin in the Creed. I got to the palace halls and found my way i

    Alpha Kane had got to us so soon, and Gilbert, who my sister had trusted wasn't helping matters, he was here with Alpha Kane. I clutched more tightly to Fiona's hand. I wheeled my chair backward a bit like I could run away but I couldn't. Alpha Kane and Gilbert weren't the only one here, there were other guards too, the skilled one who had been assigned to me. Even if there weren't any, I won't be able to win against Gilbert in this condition. He moved closer to me as I could feel my heart leaping continuously out of fear but I didn't let go of Fiona. I swallowed hard, awaiting what was going to happen. I had only put myself in danger and put Fiona in more danger. My thoughts went to the poor prisoners I had released too. They were also in danger. If Alpha Kane found them, then he'd kill them. I could see in his eyes as it screams anger, he was angry and is just about to show me. He gritted his teeth like an angry wolf would, making me more scared. He was just inches away from m

  • Capturing the devilish Lycan’s Heart   Mission at hand

    I can't let anything happen to Fiona. I must do everything not to let what Alpha Kane is saying come to pass. Thinking about it sent shivers down my spine. Coming back to this pack to see Fiona in cold blood like he had said. I wouldn't allow that. “Take them away” Alpha Kane commanded, his voice husky and commanding. I stared as all the poor citizens were dragged away by guards with their face filled with terror. They were afraid as much as I am at the moment. As much as Fiona would be at the moment. How could a King do this to his own people, how? I wondered. It wasn't right. An Alpha is supposed to take care of his people, he's supposed to show love, and unite his pack members together but here Alpha Kane is doing none of it. The smug smile which looked like an award he had acquired didn't leave his face as he kept his gaze on me, back to Fiona then back to his people who were being dragged away. Hell am I saying! Not his people, I'm sure those people weren't seeing h

    I looked around the garden, every pack member from the moonlight pack owned and headed by Alpha Zane were present. The guards that Kane had sent to escort me were already gone. of course, they threatened and promised to harm Fiona if I didn't do their Alpha's selfish bidding. I palmed my forehead in tiredness and in disgust. How couldn't they see how selfish, cruel and unfair their Alpha was. I guess people see the good in the bad and the bad in the good. I looked towards the garden and a man was given a speech, something about their next list of events that would take place. I tried to listen, but It was just too boring, something about "Traditional Wolf Activities" Under the traditional wolf activities, he went on to list " Howling Concerts, Moonlit Hunts, Lunar Rituals." When he was done mentioning it, they all screamed out in excitement. Then he continued "Magical and Mystical: Shape-Shifting Ceremonies, Moonlit Vision Quests , Lunar Energy Harvesting: *Celebr

    Right! Who would want to take in someone they don't know, even if it was just for the night? It was risky, although I looked pitiful enough for anyone to take me in. The woman wasn't at fault, nobody was. I was used to being rejected, so this one wasn't new. I left her house, not dejected but determined to find another place to pass the night. Or maybe I was dejected but just didn't want to show it?? I smiled at myself, telling Hera that everything would be okay, although she didn't ask me. She should be my companion who talks to me in hard times like this, but Hera barely talks. She doesn't see the need to converse with me when she's in pain or when we are in danger. I wheeled my chair through the festival places as I didn't see the need to stop staring at anything. They were all having fun. With me, it wasn't fun.It was supposed to be for every werewolf, but right now, it isn't. They were shifting in merriment, but not a twitch of the lips could be seen in me. I wa

    The feeling I was having at the moment was not explainable, I felt like my heart could jump out of my chest. His voice struck me as I wondered if he recognized me. He must have! If not, why would he beckon at me like he remembered killing me but was just realizing that I was alive? If it wasn't my scent, then how did he recognize me? I thought and swallowed hard then his voice came again. Staring at him, my eyes bore into him, with anger blooming from it. I didn't want to show it, I must not; else he'd find out about me and if he does That would be the end of me and the end of Fiona because Alpha Kane won't let her be. The thought of getting killed twice by the same person sent fears clouding my mind. Although the first one, he hadn't succeeded but had my legs crippled. “Why are you in here?” He asked, his voice cold yet tender. All I could see in him wasn't the Alpha Zane I knew, I could see a different man whose face wasn't the one of a wicked man I've always kn

  • Capturing the devilish Lycan’s Heart   Being Question

    “Aren't you going to deny it?” His voice came again, he was expecting me to deny it claiming I am one of his pack members but I knew better than to say that and do as he says. “You are right, Alpha Zane,” I said, without stuttering. He smirked annoyingly, getting pissed off by my appearance. He must have expected me to keep the lie up so then it could be clear to him without anything hidden that I was in the pack for something, something which to him could only mean destruction. “I do not belong to the pack” I added, confessing to the truth that I don't know whether it would take my life right away or would make something worse happen to me. Whichever it is Alpha Zane decides to do with me, I'm sure I won't get defeated easily. Else Gina would be disappointed in me, She had always had high hopes for me. And then I would be failing Fiona also, letting her down and there were the other newly founded people I needed to save. I can't let all of them down by messing things up

  • Capturing the devilish Lycan’s Heart   Fiona in Pain

    I really wanted to tell him; that I am Leona Kazan!, The rejected mate of Alpha Kane. And it was all thanks to him. But I said none of that even when the urge to say it was so strong, I remained quiet. Not because I was scared of him. What do I have to be scared of? I'm already lame, and disabled, and I have nothing to lose, life for me ended years ago; when I lost my legs and my sister Gina. Alpha Zane kept staring at me, or should I say glaring. Someone who was said to have people cowering at his feet whenever he looked at them. Was this the look they were talking about, it's not as scary as they pointed it to be. But I still needed to play the pitiful card. I sighed, how I hated pretending. We kept on staring at each other, neither of us looking away. "Should I get the Royal guard here?" He asked again, this time in a more calm but dangerous tone. "Would you hurt a disabled girl?" I held my chest, feigning hurt. "You would proceed to hurt a lame, harmless young gi

  • Capturing the devilish Lycan’s Heart   The spy man

    I sat on the veranda of the palace, my thoughts racing back to Alpha Zane’s dismissal. The memory replayed vividly ,his cold gaze, his sharp tone and I couldn’t shake the sting of humiliation. What had gone wrong? Why had he reacted that way?My mind wandered to the questions he’d asked me earlier. Simple, straightforward questions about my past, my purpose. Questions I should have been prepared to answer. Yet, in that moment, my tongue had betrayed me, leaving me flustered.“Dammit, I messed up,” I muttered, clenching my fists tightly. My frustration burned in my chest. How could I hope to approach Alpha Zane again, knowing his anger still lingered?I exhaled heavily, forcing myself to think. Time was slipping through my fingers, and every mistake pushed me further away from my goal. I needed a new plan—something to redeem myself and earn another chance to speak with him.With determination, I stood from the bench and headed inside the palace. My steps were quick, purposeful.

    Alpha Zane povAnger surged through me, and I didn’t even know why. Maybe it was because she was lying to me. It shouldn’t make me this furious, but it did. She was playing games, trying to provoke the worst in me.I imagined letting my wolf take over at that moment—how it would have hurt her so badly. She wasn’t even good at lying, yet she kept trying her best to stick to it.There was no way she wasn’t a spy. She had to be. But how certain was I? Not certain enough. Still, she was clearly doing everything she could to hide whatever it was she was keeping from me—her thoughts, her agenda, her secrets.I sighed deeply, trying to calm myself, resorting to breathing exercises because of her.Breathe in.Breathe out.I tried to keep my anger in check, knowing it was better to send her away. If I didn’t, I might have done something I’d regret.The walk I had planned to take was now ruined, slipping from my grasp because of her.

    I appeared behind Natalie as she made to walk back with Madam Stella still staring at her back. She saw me and froze. She didn't expect me to be there. Nobody did. I had been at her back since minutes earlier. “Madam Stella don't have to deliver the message to me, you did just now” I said making her realize that I heard everything and she shouldn't have hidden behind Madam Stella. She smiled then walk up to me. Her smile poisonously infectious. She stood very close to me leaning over to my ear. “You think I can't say those to your face?” She asked but I only scoffed silently. “Don't think the Alpha has got your back and do whatever work is assigned to you dillgently” she said but I said nothing. Something in me told me she isn't ready to stop and would still continue. “Alpha Zane also can't stop me, reason why he chooses me over everyone in this pack, I'm his favourite in all of the pack, you should know” She said, telling a tale I never cared about.

    Natalie’s POVI froze at the sight of them together. I knew they weren’t kissing, but it certainly looked like it. Alpha Zane wouldn’t kiss anyone so randomly—especially not a maid like her.But the way he leaned in, staring at her so intently, made my blood boil. I clenched my fists, furious. That bitch was clearly trying to get his attention, and now it seemed like Alpha Zane was giving it to her.And then she lost her balance—only for him to catch her. By the waist. My eyes widened in pure rage at the sight of his hands on her, holding her like that. But I forced myself to suppress my anger, unwilling to show any signs of discomfort while Alpha Zane was still here.I shot a glare at the girl, whose waist was still wrapped in his strong, masculine hands. To my satisfaction, my glare seemed to work—she quickly scampered out of his grasp, and he let her go without hesitation.He began walking away from her but stopped suddenly.“Tread carefully,” he said, his voice laced with mockery.

    I stared at him as he came closer taking gentle strides towards me. It made my heart skip. I was in the garden because I was sure I would see him here but once I was here, I couldn't remember why I had chosen to come here with the hope of finding him. “You know too well where I could be Leona, and you are new in the palace you say?” His voice came, gentle yet the sharp and harsh edge was noticeable. I knew he was suspicious of me and that was exactly why he was waiting for me to come find him here. To confirm whether I was worthy of being kept around or not. Of course, I wasn't worthy of being around him, because I would bring him pain sooner or later as my only aim is to ruin him which I would surely do. These thoughts ran through my head as he stared at me amused. I then realized why his gaze was fixed on me, it was because of the glare I had sting into him. A glare that shows the aura of someone who wants revenge, of someone tired of hiding behind a damn mai

  • Capturing the devilish Lycan’s Heart   Nothing Fascinating

    I woke up slowly, stretching my tired limbs. My eyes drifted to the wall clock—it was already 9 a.m. The room, which I shared with the other maids, was empty. They’d clearly all started their duties for the day.Reaching for my crutches beside the bed, I steadied myself and made my way to the window. From there, I gazed out at the park, my thoughts drifting to the mission that had brought me here. Two weeks had passed since I began working at the palace, yet I hadn’t made any progress. The thought weighed heavily on me.“How am I supposed to accomplish anything when I haven’t even seen Alpha Zane?” I muttered under my breath.Being here wasn’t easy, especially with my disability. The others dismissed me, their disdain thinly veiled, but I’d learned not to let it bother me. I pushed through each day, trying to find a way to cross paths with Alpha Zane. So far, every attempt had failed.Letting out a weary sigh, I got undressed and made my way to the bathroom. After a quick bath, I dres

    Alpha Kane povI glanced at my phone again, staring at the picture of Leona in Alpha Zane’s pack. It had been sent by one of my spies, who I’d planted to monitor her movements and activities.The message that accompanied the image detailed how she had successfully entered Zane’s palace as a maid.“Perfect,” I muttered, a sly smile curling my lips as I leaned back and took another sip of my wine. Everything was falling into place, just as I had planned.Leona had worked tirelessly to secure her place in Zane’s palace, defying all odds despite her limitations. Admirable? Perhaps. But I couldn’t care less.“Impressive,” I mused, clapping my hands lightly in mock applause.Her presence in the palace meant it would be far easier for her to retrieve the vital information I needed. Still, I wasn’t foolish enough to leave things to chance. I would continue sending spies to ensure her loyalty and track her progress until her mission was complete.I glanced at the picture again, scrutinizin

    I packed for my new life in the palace, excitement buzzing through me. Haelyn helped, folding my clothes with care, her movements steady.“I can’t believe it,” I said, my grin widening. “I’m one of the five chosen. I feel like the happiest person alive.”Haelyn looked up, smiling. “I told you, didn’t I? You were bound to make it.”I pulled her into a tight hug. “Thank you for believing in me. You’re the best.”“That’s what friends are for,” she said, laughing lightly.“Not every friend would do this. You’re one of a kind,” I teased.“Stop making me blush,” she replied, nudging me playfully.Her smile faded slightly. “Leona, there’s something I need to tell you about working in the palace.”I tilted my head. “What’s wrong?”“It’s the rules. They’re strict. And… the work won’t be easy for someone like you,” she said hesitantly.I understood what she meant. My disability wasn’t a secret, and I’d faced doubt before. “I won’t let it hold me back,” I said firmly. “I’ll manage. Trust me.”

    I bit my fingers nervously as my mind was racing with thoughts of what if, What if I wasn’t chosen? What would become of me? How else would I get close to Alpha Zane?I sighed—again. My nerves were getting the best of me. I had to get in, no matter what.“Are you okay?” Clara’s hushed voice came from beside me, pulling me out of my thoughts.I shot her a strange look. Why would she think I wasn’t okay? She quickly ducked her head, and I raised mine, only to find that everyone was staring at me, including Alpha Zane.Wait—why was he holding a paper that looked like a result sheet?What the hell was going on?I quickly looked back at Clara. “Why are they staring at me?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.She muttered, “You kind of gave a loud sigh that attracted everyone.”I shut my eyes, mortified. I had no idea my sigh was that loud.“Is everything okay, Leona?” The deep, smooth voice of Alpha Zane reached me, and the way he said my name sent a tingling sensation down my spine.
