CHAPTER 54

Author: Spark
last update Last Updated: 2025-02-04 15:55:01

The moment Agatha's ultimatum pierces my ears, I know I have to find a way out. My sister Emma's terrified eyes doesn't leave me even as they drag her back into the car. Her silent plea for rescue is louder than even if she screams- I would have preferred she screams rather than remain quiet and give me those eyes that make guilt gnaw at me. Agatha's cruel grip on my family has always been suffocating, but now she has crossed a line that I am willing to fight against. I need to be a man and do what is right.

As soon as the dizziness passes, I'm moving. One moment, I want to help Alora, the next I'll do anything to save my family. The shock of the blow quickly transforms into determination. I can hear Alora's footsteps as she escapes. I know what's at stake- it is either her or Emma

I am reminded about Agatha’s threat to Emma. One mistake, and my sister pays the price. I am so confused right now. I feel so much like a loser. I cannot protect my family and I cannot protect the one I cla

    "Why should I believe you?" She finally says, her voice trembling slightly. "You handed me over to them before! You are confusing me! Are you for me or against me!”“Alora! This is not the time! I will explain later!” I put out my hands in an extension to her, but she doesn't take them- instead she takes a few steps back, she is scared of me now and it stings at my heart"I'm trying to help you now," I say, my voice low and urgent.“I don't need your help!” she almost screams, but she immediately remembers where we are“Please…” I plead silently but urgently. I reach out, my hand almost touching her arm, but she raises the stick up as if to show that he would attack me. "Trust me, just this once."Her eyes soften, then it hardens, then softens again. She opens her mouth as if to speak, closes it, opens it again. I can see that she is having an internal conflict- asking herself if she should trust me. She takes half a step toward me, stops, retreats. The bends -lowers an inch, then ris

    Alora POVThe loud banging on my door jolts me awake. I scramble from my uncomfortable bed, shoving down my clothes hastily.“ How dare you sleep at this time? Do yóu expect me to clean the house and cook?" My mother's grumpy voice shouts from the other side." I'm coming!” I answer, slipping on my sandals and rushing to the door. Pulling it open, my cheek reconnects with my mother's palm. Her fuming face scowls at me and I shrink.“ You just want Leah to be late for school, don't you? You can't stop your pathetic behavior of sabotaging your sister's life." She hisses, glaring at me." I didn't… " I try to explain only to be rewarded with another slap.“ Useless mutt! How dare yóu talk back to me?"She snaps. My mother forbids me from saying anything when she is talking. I am only allowed to listen and bear the brunt of my mistakes.“ I want the house spot free clean and breakfast already in bed when Leah wakes up.” She orders before storming off,not without glaring and huffing at me.I

    A slap resounds in the room, my head turning to the other side.“ How dare you,wh*re! How dare you seduce your sister's fiance?” My mother hisses,glaring at me.Leah stands next to her,casting a hateful glance at me.My tears roll down but I remain tight-lipped. Replying will only get me more beaten,I have learnt that the hard way." I always knew you were a loose woman but I never imagined that you would seduce your sister's man.”I want to shout and explain myself. Lucas was the one who offered to save my ass after Leah pushed me into the pool, turning me an object of ridicule before everyone." You can't stand seeing me happy,can yóu Alora? Always jealous of what I have when you can't have it." Leah comments and I swallow a lump of bitterness.I admit I am jealous of her but I never thought about snatching her fiance.The only thing I ever craved for was the love and affection my parents showered her but as the years passed, I gave up.In their eyes, I will never be as good as Leah

    I halt in my steps, turning around to face Lucas who is now standing too close to me.“What do you want, Lucas?" I ask impatiently.A flicker of sadness flashes through his dark orbs but I ignore it." I just want us to talk,Alora.”" Talk? Talk about what exactly Lucas? There's nothing left to talk about between the two of us.” I snap, annoyed.The audacity! He has the nerves to want to talk to me when I had tried talking to him after my father's announcement only for him to remain distant with me." I'm sorry,Alora. I didn't mean to ignore you.” He says and my anger spikes." You had every fucking intention of ignoring me Lucas. I would really appreciate it if you keep doing that.”There's a time I wanted to hear him explain why he didn't turn down my father's offer of marrying Leah and becoming the Alpha. Now, I don't anymore.“ Alora, I didn't have a choice. I couldn't say no to the Alpha." Lucas mumbles and I shoot him a glare.“ You could have told him the truth. The truth that y

    The door to my room is pushed open and Leah saunters in. Her gaze sweeps through the crumpled space and her nose lifts in disgust.I scan her appearance through the cracked vanity mirror.When she turns to look at me, she has a smile on her face, one that I wouldn't mistake as friendly.“ I came to see if you needed anything. After all, today is your special day." Leah says,her smile not dropping. I can hear the mockery and disdain well concealed in her words though but I ignore it.I am already used to it after all these years.“ Thanks for your concern but I don't need anything." I reply, straightening my unruly hair.Leah chuckles from behind me.“ Don't get me wrong, Alora. I am not concerned about you. I just want to make sure that you don't embarrass our family out there.”Her words don't faze me anymore. I know for a fact no one cares about me. Their reputation and family name is more important than I could ever be.“ Don't worry. I will behave myself and not stain the family na

    Alonso POVI am brooding over a document my beta gave to me the previous day when I hear a timid knock on the door. The knock jolts me from my thoughts and I am not even aware when I let out an angry growl and knock over the glass cup of water on my table, and I watch as the glass hits the ground and shatters everywhere as if to equate my anger.The documents I was studying before the knock came are the documents of territory land ownership from the Young Moon pack. We have been having a lot of back on forth because of the ownership topic, so when the impromptu knock comes, my beast goes mad“Who dares to knock on my door!?” I spit, my voice filling with venom as I fumes“Good … good day …Alpha Alonso,” comes a stammering, scared, feminine voice from behind the door“What do you want!” I walk furiously to the door and fling it open. Standing behind the door is a timid servant girl dressed in the usual palace servant uniform. I instantly remember that she is the new maid I employed a f

    Soon we are in the car for the long drive to the Midnight pack. When the car starts slowing down, I look out of the window and I can tell that we are almost at our destination. I start drumming on the seat anxiously and I catch Beta Leo staring at me. Although he is quiet I can tell that there are a lot of things you want to say. But thank the goddess he is not talking, the last thing I need is for anyone to talk around me. He still sits in silence even though he knows that we have gotten to our destination. Maybe he is silent because he is not ready to face me or he can sense my simmering discomfortI decide to stare out of the window instead. The pack house is beautiful. Decorated everywhere was different colours of light to add to the celebration. The car stops in front of the pack house and a service man rushes to usher me in with a bow. “Welcome how far Alonso of the Alistair Kingdom,” he says as he ushers me and Leo inI mutter a small, “Thank you,” as I take my steps behind him

    Leah’s POV“Announcing the arrival of Alpha…”I roll my eyes immediately when I hear the title Alpha. A lot of dignitaries are here and they are either Alphas, Betas or their entourage. I am tired of see boring people parade in with false bravado as the announcer screams their names in the microphone“Alpha Alonso, the King of the Alistair Kingdom…”My eyes shoot open as I hear the Kingdom. King Alonso!? I have been waiting all night for his arrival. So why did the announcer address him as Alpha instead of King? This is one common mistake a lot of pack members make- addressing the Lycan King as Alpha. I hear even the Lycams make this same mistake often and this irritates me every timeOh well, that aside- the King is hereOh my goddess, my wolf is so excited. She is yelping so much. What if I get mated to the Lycan king. My father would be so proud of me. If our pack comes in alliance with the Alistair Kingdom, we would be the greatest pack ever and I would even get to be his queen.

    The taste of blood? Oh please, I am used to it by now. Darren's men still hold me down against the forest floor. Blood and dirt mixed in my mouth, but that doesn't even bother me one bit. My attention is fixed on Luna Agatha as she approaches the invisible barrier where the cabin stands. Her black dress seems to make her more evil, and I fight back a shudder as she reaches out to touch the protection spells."Such clever magic," she murmurs, her fingers almost going through the air where the barrier shines faintly. "An old protection spell. Your father taught you well, Lucas. But not well enough. Or perhaps you are not worthy enough"My heart stops as she nods toward the black Mercedes. They open the car boot and I watch in horror as two guards drag Emma out. My sister's face is tear-stained and she is scared – she looks so much like our father that my chest aches because I cannot protect her now. I hate the Luna!"No!" I struggle harder against the hands holding me down. "She has no

    Darren notices what I am trying to do. "Don't even think about it," he growls and so I don't move.“How come you watch seven alpha's die? I heard they died so young in war and you didn't even try to save them?”"Are you stupid?" I am getting the exact reaction I want to get from Darren- he is as angry as I want him to. "You're barely old enough to remember the last war, and you think you can speak to me about sacrifice and leadership!? Do you know what I had to sacrifice!?”I force a smirk even though I am calculating the places and corners to run and escape with. I also calculate how fast I can open the door, enter inside and relocate even though I know that after relocating I will be a rogue wolf forever because I will obviously be an enemy of the pack for going directly against the Alpha's orders and housing a wanted pack traitor, Alora- that is what the pack calls her now. I look at Darren and I like the way he is heaving in anger. "Seven Alphas died under your watch. That's not

    Now I am watching Daren almost find Alora and if he is as good as he claims to be, Alora is in trouble because he would be able to sense hiding magic in the area. Alora would not be able to leave because Daren would stay there until she comes out. I want to relocate the house, but the house can only be relocated when I- the key holder and the descendant of the builder is in itThis makes me remember how during the war, we were stuck in the house for over a month because the soldier sensed hiding magic. Dad had not given anyone the power to relocate yet. So the soldiers stayed outside for more than one month waiting for us to come out from wherever we were hiding. Food and basic needs were not a problem because the house provided for us. But staying indoors for over a month was mentally stressful. Dad on the other hand kept watching us, until one day he decided to distract the soldiers. He kept trying for days until one day he succeeded. Immediately he got in, we relocated to another

    "I want to accept it so badly. To let her take away the pain, to let her touch me so I can feel our energy one last time. But is it worth it? Agatha's warning signs in my ears like a bad omen. At that moment, Goth walks in with a slightly bent head, he avoids my gaze because of what Agatha had made him do. Of all the guards who hit me, Agatha had made him hit me the most. I hold no grudge against him yet- well until I understand what the stakes were for him to betray me like that. Was it money offered or threats made to him? From the looks of the things in the hall, it is the laterIn the night, they come for me again. This time, they brought videos of my mother's torture- they hold her hostage since they captured her. The message is clear- reject Alora, or watch everyone I love suffer.The next morning, I do the unthinkable."We need to talk," I tell Alora- I make my voice sound cold and strange. We stand in the empty corridor before the first period, my heart breaking with every

    Lucas’s POVGoth," Agatha's voice calls him "Show your young friend here how powerful you can be."He hesitates for just a moment - so brief that only someone who knows him well would notice. His fingers flex once, twice, even three. I know him, he doesn't want to do it. From everything happening, I know that Agatha must have threatened his family too, so I don't blame him.“Clear up,” Agatha gives a command for me to be stripped shirtless before other guards step away for Goth to deal with me"Now." Agatha commands GothI hear a sound on my back, a loud sound I can feel and I groan. Goth knows where to strike - he has watched me fight enough to know my weak spots and I know he wants to weaken me fast so Agatha would instruct him to leave meI taste blood but don't make loud sounds- I can never scream for pain. Alpha Harry sits in his chair with an unreadable face- I can't tell if he likes or hates this. I just see him watching as one of his best fighters beats his own packmate.

    I start to remember Agatha's words when she held me hostage "Lead her to the cha cha grassland. Make her trust you one last time." The command felt like poison in my veins. How many times would I be forced to betray Alora? But I cannot go against Agatha. She is an evil woman. She is the first person to know when I found Alora, but she acts so oblivious to it that sometimes I ask myself if she is the same person that always tortures meA twig snapped beneath my boot, and I cursed silently. And I see Alora look out of the window- only I can see her because I hold the key to the house. tmThe only true thing about everything I have told her is that her dad made me get engaged to Leah and that the cabin is for my father- even Agatha doesn't know about the Cabin. My fear is that she would find out about the cabin, but the thing keeping me sane is that I can change the location anytime I want. I study as Alora closes back the window. Even now, after everything, she moved with a grace that ma
