CHAPTER 11ALEGGRA I smiled to myself, knowing that it was her. I circled the chair where she was sitting for a while before coming to a halt in front of her. "Why were you at the soldier's dedication?" I questioned her. She didn't say anything. Just like you had anticipated. I was aware that it would not be simple to extract the words from her. She would prefer not to reveal the words. I gave one of the guards a raised eyebrow. He moved in her direction and smacked her. She lowered her face and put both hands on her cheek. She wouldn't be able to be heard if she screamed since the location was sufficiently far. He gripped her neck and raised her head. She resisted him as he started to choke her. When I removed his hands from her, her eyes had already started to become white. My question was, "Are you ready to talk now?" She resumed her silence. I snorted. Even with her life in jeopardy, she was proving to be challenging. I pondered if she knew that I could command her to die.
Chapter TWELVE LUCIUS Point of View I was sitting next to the Blue Sea Pack Alpha in the conference room. With his beta William, and alpha Adrian, we spoke about the urgent problem at hand. "The rising rate of rogue in our district is becoming alarming," I said. "If we do not take action immediately, we might end up losing all our soldiers and pack members.""And they would start to doubt our ability to lead," Alpha Adrian said to me. Adrian's beta, William, cleared his throat and started talking. "I still do not understand the reason for this meeting," he said. "Can you come out more clearly, so we would know what and what is involved."I looked at him in disbelief. I was certain that in the letter I wrote inviting them over, I mentioned the purpose of the gathering. Having said that, when I and his brother—the Alpha of Blue Sea Pack—just spoke about the matter, he didn't seem to be listening. I cleared my throat and made the composed decision to follow him. To everyone in thi
CHAPTER 13ALEGGRAI had thrown off the guards and maid and was making my way back to my room when I heard a disturbance. I wanted to know what the big deal was. I surveyed the area, attempting to ascertain the nature of the situation.In the pack house and the corridors, I also saw many guards pacing about. I had to go to a corner to dodge the guards' blows. "Hey," I yelled at the security personnel. They didn't appear to see me since they were rushing. I didn't stop until I managed to persuade one of the guards to halt, but they continued running. He bowed to me and said, "Greetings to you, Luna.""What is going on?" I asked, omitting the salutation. He told me, "Alpha Lucius had asked that we all assemble." I waved him away, nodding.I pondered why Lucius had requested that they come together. I was aware that he wouldn't call an emergency meeting of this kind for no cause at all, nor would it be a trivial situation. I decided to go check for myself after turning back. I made
Chapter 14 ALEGGRAI was standing in front of the mirror, looking beautiful in my outfit. It had been put by one of the maids inside my closet. I turned around when the room's door opened and saw Lucius enter the space. He was looking at me intently. He looked me over, head to toe, his jaw hanging open. For a while, he could not speak. "You look awesome!" After glancing at me for a while, he congratulated me. The praise made my cheeks flush scarlet, and I forced a grin to stay hidden. "Shall we?" Holding out his hands to me, he posed the question. We started to leave the home together when I grasped Lucius's hands. The servants seeing us from the outside started to grin and talk to one other. They believed that we had to be authentic. I chose to ignore them and followed Lucius to his vehicle. I entered the vehicle once he unlocked the door. For now, all I wanted to do was concentrate on this day and put everything out of my mind. I found it to be meaningless. I real
Chapter Fifteen ALEGGRAI gently and hastily withdrew, and opened my eyes just before his lips touched mine. I stumbled and said, "I... I... I'm sorry." "We can't do this."Nodding, Lucius did so. I stood up quickly after fidgeting with my fingers for a while. After all that had transpired, it would seem strange for me to remain there with Lucius. Already I was becoming tense. "I'll be outdoors," I informed Lucius. "It's okay," he answered. It seemed like he didn't want me to go, but that was okay with me.With trepidation, I left the room. Though I was unsure of what had occurred inside, I was relieved to have stopped more damage before it worsened. When I got far enough, I exhaled deeply in relief. After walking down the corridor and gaining my composure, I started thinking back to the episode in the old pack house. I was curious as to why touching the water had made it go crazy. I was curious to see whether it was something unique to me or if it occurred every time someone t
CHAPTER SixteenALEGGRA The parking lot was soon abandoned for the dining area. Harrison, Ava, myself, the beta, and alpha Lucius. The guards continued to work packing Ava's belongings for her room. The dining room had been filled with a feast for the four of us. Not too long after, we could hear our spoons clattering on the plate. Ava started talking while we were eating. "I'm finally glad to be here again with you all," she said. "It hadn't been easy sharing the same world with mere mortals."Ava had interacted with others. She seems to have had a bad encounter with them based on the way she talked. Still, I remained as she spoke. "Initially, I was unsure about how to blend in. Every time I became upset, I had to keep my abilities hidden and cease developing. I had to give up a lot of habits that I thought were strange to others. Nonetheless, I dealt with my bullies at night so they couldn't find out what had happened to them."Harrison and Lucius started laughing aloud. To me,
CHAPTER 17AVARecounting my experience with Allegra, I lay in bed. At first glance, I detested her. I was not ready to accept that my brother would marry a she-wolf, a lowlife with no political or financial clout. Right from the moment I laid eyes on her, I decided to destroy their mate's connection. As I considered it. I thought about my pal. She's always had a thing for Lucius, so it would be easy to utilize her. My brother has always been busy with something, so I intended to present her to him all along. The much-awaited introduction could now finally begin. I got up from the table, pulled up my phone, and called Lisa right away. She answered the phone just as it started to ring, exactly as I had predicted. "As if you anticipated my phone calls," I made fun of her. "My phone is always in my palm," she said in response. I chuckled a little. She was too familiar to me. "Well, how are you?" I questioned her. She said regretfully, "I'm not fine, Ava." Being the only da
CHAPTER 18ALEGGRA Point of View Lucus At the same time, I sprung from my bed. Although I was aware of his sister's activities, I was unsure of their specific nature. My eyes shot to Lisa, and I saw that she was staring at Lucius. This made me frown even worse. I stepped up beside Lucius and took his arms. Knowing that I was falling for Lucius meant that I wasn't being protective. That being said, I didn't want the whole stay to conclude with anything like, "The new Luna was made, but she got rejected just after a few weeks."That would amount to a severe face-slap. "What is going on, Ava?" Lucius inquired with his sibling. Her head was scratched, "Uhm_." "My friend didn't have a place to sleep."Her answer was very impressive. Lucius and I looked at each other. She kept talking before we had a chance to respond to what she had just said. Since my room is too tiny to share, there are already some visitors staying in the other rooms. You are aware of how much I detest sharing my b
CHAPTER 40ALLEGRA Even after carefully opening both of my eyes, I was still unable to see anything. I started wiping my tears. When I opened my eyes once again, all I saw was total blackness. I made an effort to find out what was happening. Why did I not have light? What transpired with me? I got myself up and started to pace the area. It seemed like I was in a room. I was unable to see anything. I made every effort to use my superhuman vision, but nothing worked. I also attempted to develop my claws but to no avail. I surveyed the area. I could only see total blackness. Nothing except dense blackness. "Help!" I gave a high-pitched scream. My voice reverberated across the space. I had the impression that I was sinking. I attempted to move, but I was unable. Entire walls surrounded me. My voice resounded as I let out another scream. I had no one coming to assist me. "What is going on?" I questioned myself. This was not what I intended to hear. I hoped I was still alive. I starte
Chapter Thirty-NineLISA"This is beautiful!" I let out a cry. I was used to thinking aloud at this stage, even though I was alone in my room. I was scrolling through the marketing internet app while sitting in bed with my head propped on the edge of the mattress. I told myself, "This would be the last, I promise," even though I knew it was a lie. I scrolled through a little more and purchased the bag. I hesitated when I noticed one that was beautiful. It took me thirty seconds to order because I kept glancing at it. "Last time, "I ordered more than I could have afforded by the time I was finished. I started looking over the list to see what I could eliminate from my purchase, but I couldn't find anything. I was still unsure about the exact moment my door opened. She was panting like she had just finished a marathon and was drenched in perspiration. "Lisa!" was her call. Her body was trembling with terror, and her voice trembled as she spoke. I questioned her, "What is the matter?"
CHAPTER 38LUCIUS "I would be the one to prepare the financial record," I informed Harrison. I didn't notice him at all. I continued to go through some of the files in front of me."Why the things are taking so long to arrive is beyond me. That is peculiar," I stopped and started to cough. I put my hand on my chest, to the right. It wasn't as though it would lessen my discomfort there. Even though I felt uncomfortable, I had left the room fairly early in the morning. If I felt like that, I wouldn't leave the home on an average day. But not right now. Not while the pack was under my leadership and everything was crumbling before my own eyes. I've been trying so hard to ignore the aching in my chest that I started feeling as soon as I came here. I was dying within, yet I pretended to be perfectly OK. "Do you think you deserve this kind of stress?" Harrison questioned, giving me such a pitying look. "Your eyes already have black rings around them. "After pausing, Harrison let out a l
Chapter 37 ALLEGRA At that time of day, I was curious as to why Lisa was hanging around with the stranger outside the pack house. She couldn't see someone in secret at this young age. Despite my negative feelings towards the person, I choose to move on. as soon as the vehicle left view. I attempted to calm myself down by resting my back on the chair. There were too many thoughts on my mind at once. We had arrived at the orphanage, but I was too preoccupied to notice since I was thinking so much. We all started to get out of the vehicle when the driver turned off the engine. Two more young people and the old lady who oversaw the orphanage. A young lady and a young guy out to greet us. The elderly lady came up to me and said, "You are welcome, my daughter."{~ Salutations," I smiled and said to her. "No one told me you were going to come," she said. She wasn't exactly thrilled to see me, based on the look in her eyes. Perhaps it was simply my attempt to persuade myself that it was
Chapter 36LISA Point of View "How was the festival?" Darren questioned while grinning. "Snap out of it!" I chastised him. "For everyone who attended the event, everything went smoothly and successfully. To God be the praise."What do you mean?" He inquired, instantly switching from a sly smile to a concerned one."What were you expecting when you couldn't do a simple job?" I insisted. I didn't come all the way here to act like Darren did a fantastic job back there; I was upset with him. Due to his inability to do basic tasks, Allegra was able to avoid death at the festival. It was the most effective approach to get rid of her completely. I wanted him to witness my level of rage. He would thus make sure not to miss it once again. I told him, "Everything you did was pointless," and gave him a tooth kiss. "Allegra escaped injury. Not a single blemish on her skin." I apologize for that," he said, lowering his head to face me. I didn't have endless time, and I knew that Darren would kee
Chapter 35 ALLEGRA When I realized I had only heard the knock in my dream, I sprang to my feet. Just as I was ready to lay again, there was a definite knock, although it was mild. My hands and feet were shivering, but I had no idea why. I moved over to the door and let it open. One of the guards was visible to me standing behind the door. He told me, "Ma'am Carla said I should ask if you are ready yet." "Just a little while," I said, trying to grin. "Collect the guards and servants. I'll soon be downstairs with all of you."He turned to go, nodding. When he was gone, I sighed deeply and dropped to the ground till my butt was in contact with the ground. I was not interested in going anywhere today, least of all the orphanage. I had a sneaking suspicion that I may be the target of another attack. What if this was their chance to succeed? I would not let that occur. Never! Why did I allow them to murder me again? They were up against an unidentified enemy. Just as I was unaware tha
CHAPTER 34ALLEGRA The spy laughed and continued, "You needed to see how mad he was when I showed the letter to him." A grin stretched to the edge of my mouth. I became shaky thinking about how uneasy I would be. I was ecstatic to hear the news. Other than when I eventually got my retribution, I had no idea what else would make me happy. "This is only the beginning," I informed her. She continued to chuckle. I told her to "just keep an eye on him for me." She accepted, and I eventually hung up after we spoke for a bit. I had stomach butterflies after hearing the news. I had no idea where to begin with my preparations for retaliation. Still, it was a decent beginning. It pleased me to know that they are uncomfortable and miserable. The next day, I was heading to the orphanage. That was already my decided course of action. To go repair a few things for the orphanage, I got up. I left my room and made my way to the maid's quarters. Outside the courtyard, I saw two maids sitting and
Chapter 33WILDFIRE PACK / ALEXANDER POVA few figures were on my large screen. It was becoming concerning that the figures didn't rhyme, and I would have to spend a lot of time explaining this to the elders and other packs that trusted us with their supplies. All transactions into and out of the account went via me since I was the one overseeing the finances. Even after repeatedly wiping my face, the figures remained unchanged. There was a knock on the door. I hastily shut off the laptop's screen. Until I figure out how to solve this, I should be able to keep this a secret from everyone. I said, "Come in," and did my best to seem good. It was my beta, Clinton, who entered my office. As he entered the office, he carried a brown packet."Hello," he said to me. "What do you want?" I shot back at him. "There's something the spy has for you," he said. I jumped up and down in my seat at the mention of the spy. My heart leaped with joy. I felt ecstatic. "What does she have?" I inquired.
Chapter 32ALLEGRA I watched as Lucius shut the door behind him. I closed my eyes firmly and swallowed hard. He was pushing himself too hard and without purpose, which didn't sit well with me. He had fallen asleep on the sofa. All that indicated was that he wasn't getting enough sleep. Did he ever fall asleep? A tap on the door caught my attention, and a servant emerged into the room. "Ma'am," the woman yelled. "Breakfast is ready."I didn't need the details. I was still planning my meal for when Lucius wasn't even present, even before I'd taken my bath. "I told her to bring my breakfast here." She gave me a startled look and nodded. She probably wanted to ask me why I wouldn't eat, but she lacked the courage, I'd bet my last dollar. I went to freshen up in the bathroom as she left the room. My meal was waiting for me when I returned, sitting next to Lucius's laptop on the table. I was a little angry. Was she not aware of the laptop before she put the food there? The laptop was st
