Lana’s POVAfter taking a calming bath, I came out of my room to receive the early morning sun when I saw Naomi walking hastily towards me, I looked around immediately because I didn’t want anyone to see us conversing together “Lady Lana,” she said, showing some courtesy“What brought you to my chamber?” I asked. “It is about Mike and Emma,” Naomi said, and I looked around, gesturing her to come closer “Lady Josephine caught them last night at the abandoned cottage in the west wing of the manor,” Naomi said, and I smiled, I know alpha Lucas will never forgive something like that“What position did she catch them in?” I wanted to be certain it was something bawdy.“In a very ribald state, Emma was almost naked and Mike was caught on top of her” Naomi whispered, and I couldn’t help, but my face broke into a huge smile “You can leave, I am so sure the alpha will take it from there. They should be both in the dungeon” I said, feeling proud of myself.“No, Mike is in the dungeon, but Em
Lana’s POVI felt restless, and I could hardly sit down still, I spaced around my room thinking about how foolish Mike could be and end up putting me in a big problem. I was contemplating on what to do, I thought about poisoning him to death inside the dungeon, but I thought against it, I am not convinced that’s going to work much. I left my room, strolling close to my quarters thinking about what to do when I suddenly heard a rich chuckle, I looked up and saw Lady Arya chuckling at whatever her personal slave was telling her about. She always acts poise and kind. A new surge of anger flow through me as I remembered she once slept with Aloha Lucas.My face suddenly broke into a smile when I thought about how I can hit two birds with one stone, I heard my gown up immediately in a poise position and walked up to meet her, her smile died down turning over to look at me, she held her skirt up and show some courtesy “Lady Lana,” she said and I smiled“You seem to be in a good mood this a
Emma's POVI breathe of relief escaped my mouth when Alpha Lucas pronounced his sentence, and it was immediately replaced by worries when I heard the wailing of Lady Arya, she looks scared to death and she cried so hard“I didn't do it! I swear I will never do something like that!” she screamed and cried hoping the alpha will hear her cries, but it only fell on deaf ears. Mike was silent, and he looked as if he had already given up and accepted his fate.The guards came and removed the cuffs on my hands and I staggered to stand up, I fell down again feeling weak, and I saw Grace running from the crowd towards me to help me, she fell on the floor beside me and burst into tears“I was scared, I thought something bad was going to happen to you,” she said in between her tears and I could hardly form a good sentence, she held me up and the guards dragged Mike and Lady Arya. They were dragged to the execution dock, Mike was pushed and roughly placed on the guillotine, his knees were on the
Lana’s POVMy eyes trailed on her back as she scurries away and anger traveled through me, I clenched my hands tightly and my knuckles were as white as a paper, I barge into Alpha Lucas's room without showing the courtesy of knocking.He raised his head to see me and I saw his tailcoat on the floor and his gothic vest unbuttoned, I sniffed the air and I could smell sex, I bit my lips to control the anger I was feeling and looked into his eyes, he raised his brow giving me a skeptical look, maybe it was because of the way I barge into his room without knocking, but I don’t care.“What is your business with that slave?” I asked in a demeaning way, I tried so hard not to scream in his face and pull his hair out in an unladylike manner. “And what’s your business in what I have with her?” he asked calmly, removing his gothic vest, my eyes swept over his body and the fact that that thing got to taste what I have and what I want for me alone makes the vein on my neck bulge in anger “Why ar
Alpha Lucas’ POVI look at myself in the giant mirror in my room and I feel satisfied with how I looked in my new tailored clothes, the dark blue tailcoat suited perfectly, and I move away from the mirror.I suddenly heard a knock on the door and grumbled ‘Come in’ The door opened revealing Emma, my eyes softened when she entered the room “You called for me,” Emma said and I nodded“Yes, come here,” she said while I was struggling with my buttons, she moved closer to me and gave me a wary look before helping me with the buttons, I let her do it “Why did you call for me?” she asked“I will be leaving the pack soon to attend some meeting,” I said, and she paused what she was doing before she returned to buttoning my sleeve, “you won’t say a thing?” I asked.“Be careful and come back safely” she said, looking into my eyes and I smiled faintly “I will,” I said, and she nodded, and she took a step away from me when she was done buttoning the shirt. “I will call for you when I am back,”
Emma’s POV I decided to go back to my room immediately after I left Alpha Lucas's chamber, he had called me so early in the morning to see me, and weirdly, I wanted to see him too, my heart had raced just from hearing his name and I had found my legs moving on its own accord to see him. I chuckled at my silly thought and pulled the door open, I went inside the room and saw Grace dressing up for her daily chores. “you are just about leaving?” I asked. “No, I had to change my clothes, let’s go,” Grace said and I nodded. We both walked out of the room, heading to the kitchen. I met Lady Lana busy having a deep conversation with Lady Josephine, they stopped what they were talking about when they noticed our presence, Lady Josephine gave me a demeaning look and walked over to meet me.I was shocked when she landed a heavy slap across my face, my eyes widened, and I placed my left hand on my sore face, tears stings my eyes immediately, and I wondered what I did to deserve such humiliati
Emma’s POVI tried opening my eyes and I squinted back immediately as a ray of light shone brightly into my eyes, I groaned and tried to turn to the other side of the bed I was laying, and I felt sharp pain traveling all over my body“Easy, take it easy!” I heard Alpha Lucas' voice and I opened my eyes immediately, I saw him sitting beside me on the stool near my bed. “What are you doing here?” I breathed out, and he ignored me getting a cup of water, he handed the water over to me and I gulped it down immediately, feeling extremely relieved.“Thank you,” I said. I suddenly remembered what had landed me in this predicament, and I wondered about how Alpha Lucas found out about it and had come over to aid me.“You are severely injured, and the doctor said it will take some time for you to heal,” Alpha Lucas said and tears welled up in my eyes, he was about to stand up when I suddenly held his hand “I swear I didn’t do it,” I said, and he gently placed his hand on top of mine“Yes, I k
Emma’s POVThe drums beat so fast likewise my heart, I stood outside close to the willow tree that had absorbed a lot of blood, under the tree was Lady Josephine tied to a tree. Her poise and high standard reduced to nothing. She was sweaty, and her damp hair was glued to her skin, even with the distance we shared, I could hear her haggard breathing. I suddenly felt Grace holding my hand and I turned to look at her, she must have noticed how pale I had become, she smiled gently at me and I returned it back.Most of the ranked people in the pack were present, I saw Alpha Lucas's mother glaring at me and I looked away immediately, I know she is fond of Lady Josephine, and she will only blame me for this. I spent the night begging Alpha Lucas to change his mind, but he refused, telling me he needs to set an example for other people to learn.It all felt nostalgic how Lady Arya was beheaded, I felt sick, and I held Grace’s hand tightly hoping to comfort myself with that.Everywhere becam
