Chapter Twenty-SixLisaI put on my best and most seductive clothes when it became light outside. Soon, the makeup artist for Ava entered the room to do my makeup. I instantly called Darren once she finished doing my makeup. I'd completely forgotten about our business. I was becoming concerned as he continued to turn off my calls. As I left the room, I saw Ava making her way over to my room. I went up to hug her. She withdrew from me gradually and scowled at me as we broke off the embrace. "What is the matter, Lisa?" She questioned me. "Why the fuck is your face like that on a happy day like this?"I looked at my phone, carefully shaking my head and pressing the screen to see if Darren would text or call, but nothing happened. Ava grabbed my phone and updated my applications. The final thing I pushed was the phone book, which she opened. {{Darren?" Howdy, she asked. "What do you want from him, and who is he?"Up to seven calls this morning have gone to Darren from me. She sighed he
CHAPTER Twenty-SevenALLEGRA As I stood there waiting for the batten to strike me, I felt a hand grabbing hold of me. Initially, I assumed it was the batten that struck me, which made my heart sink to my stomach. The sound of the batten hitting the floor like thunder reached my ears. After a few minutes, I felt warmth around me and realized that I was still secure. And I realized I was in someone's arms. I opened my eyes slowly, and to my surprise, Lucius was there, hugging me. I blinked again, startled. I sighed deeply and then fell asleep. I quickly awoke in front of the hallway. Lucius still had me in his hands, and there were a few guards around me. Water was all over my face. It had to be the work they had done to bring me back to life. Lucius and I exchanged uncomfortable looks for some time before he allowed me to stand on my own. I saw that there was a lot of blood on the floor. I saw there was blood on Lucius's leg when I glanced down at it."Are you injured?" I promptly
CHAPTER twenty-eightALEGGRA Point of View After giving a nod, the two of us left the room together. "If we have to keep doing this, then we have to make it believable," he said to me. I completely comprehended his perspective. Reentering the hall, we strolled. Everything was lit up, the occasion was already bustling, and I could see food and beverages on the tables. As we made our way around the tables, Lucius held my hands and leaned down to welcome the just-arrived elders. The ceremony went on, and at last Lucius and I managed to find a place to sit. After some time, Lucius ascended the platform. He started to speak, but I was still too stunned by what had transpired earlier to pay attention. My whole body was covered with goosebumps. Harrison ascended the platform shortly after and delivered a speech as well. When he finished speaking, there was a resounding round of applause. Everyone loved Harrison, that much was clear. Many years ago, I saw that everyone adored Harry and t
CHAPTER 29 LUCIUSAllegra's instant reaction upon seeing my mom caught my attention. She had not spoken but was still staring at her. Allegra jerked as I tapped her. She turned to face me, her head scratching, an anxious grin on her face. There had to be a reason for whatever had occurred. Allegra seemed to know my parents, somehow. It was surprising and suspicious at the same time. I chose to set my curiosity about what was happening aside for the time being. "Mom, Dad," I shouted, putting additional pressure on Allegra's hand. "Meet my Luna."Each of the two grinned."I turned to Allegra and smiled at her. I called her. "Meet my parents."Allegra walked forward to hug my mother. Dad shook her hands as well before allowing her to come back to me. "How was your trip, Mom and Dad?" I questioned them."As usual," my mother said. "Boring and stressful."The air filled with her husky voice. My mother's voice was sometimes mistaken for a man's. Suddenly, my mother responded, "I am a bit
Chapter Thirty ALLEGRA I sat with my head lying on my back on my bed. I could not get Lucius's mother out of my head. I did not doubt that I had previously seen her. I recognized her face, even if at the moment I couldn't place it precisely where I'd seen her. I closed my eyes, feeling the event from yesterday replaying itself in my mind. I recalled how the air was filled with her rich voice. She was an elderly lady with great vigor but little build. The only thing that indicated she was older was that her hair was gray. It seemed as if she was younger. Her spouse seemed older than her, despite her excellent physical appearance. He was big for his height, had a pot belly and was overweight. Ava was like her father, while Lucius was like his mother.I was still having trouble figuring out precisely where I'd seen her. I searched my mind, seeing glimpses of her. FLASHBACK Carla exclaimed, "Hello, pretty little one," as she and my mother entered the home. Shyly, I crept behind t
CHAPTER Thirty-OneLUCIUSThere was this gleam in Allegra's eyes as she opened the door for me. Oh, she uttered. "It's you."You are already asleep?" I questioned her. She gave a hesitant nod, spun around, and approached the bed once again. I decided to go to bed after shutting the door. I wanted to talk to her about a few things, but she went back to her bed and tucked herself in. I chose to ignore it till the next morning. I went to my table and lifted my computer's lid. Checking the records of the products coming in and leaving out of the pack, I sat in front of it. Harrison lamented that a substantial amount had vanished. Where had all the money gone and what was going on, we had to know. I flipped through the files from the months before to the one we were in. I was unable to locate the missing money. Honestly, I was unable to identify any gaps. As all the evidence was removed, the person who accomplished this had to be an expert. The worst problem was that the finance manager
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
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 152 ALLEGRA After five years, when everything had finally settled down and everyone was living in harmony, it was time to celebrate the fourth year of the Crescent Moonstone Pack. Yes, that is the new name for our pack instead of giving the impression that Lucius had taken over my pack. Instead, we wanted to demonstrate how two hearts had united. Oh, there are two packs of laughs. Five years later, I gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, who at the time we thought were only one child. Although they have grown up to be mischievous, they are still the sweetest little thing imaginable. Sitting in the garden, I observed them running around while the maid trailed behind them. My face was made brighter by a smile. To me, this child was everything, and they completed everything. Many things had happened over the years; Lisa was freed from severe torture and fled to the human world. No one had seen or heard from her since, but I knew that she would never set foot in this pla
CHAPTER 151 AVA POV At last, Lucius consented to leave the room with Allegra. I instantly extended my arms to hug my friend. "I'm really glad finally I have found my mate, surprisingly." "Same here, Ava." He put his hands on my chick and answered. My entire body was tingling with goosebumps, and I couldn't contain my enthusiasm. "I am extremely thankful for coming to the rescue of my life, you know." "It's really nothing dear, who I'm I not to save such a damsel as you." "If not for the presence I could only imagine what my situation would be like now." "Well, I'm also happy my present was significant cause I didn't only save you but now I found my mate as well.” I flirted more and more, and he responded. We started kissing and touching each other, with him looking into my eyes and me into his. "I had waited so long to find my mate, never did I know the time was approaching." As we relished the beautiful moment, I said something to him. "Ouchh... My head aches a bit." "
CHAPTER 150 ALLEGRA POV Despite my best efforts and those of Lucius's mother, he remained steadfast and full of heart. I could tell Lucius was pulsating with anger and agony. "Lucius, please listen to us. Lisa deserves this; please don't take her life so quickly." I persisted in pleading with Lucius to allow Lisa to go through the torturous process; I didn't want her to die too quickly because she was already having trouble breathing. "What are you planning on doing to Lisa?" "She'll be starved to death until I'm satisfied and flogged in public." While he was at work in the dungeon, Lucius answered me. "L..u..c..i..u..s” "Ava is conscious, thank goodness you defeated death." The Beta said that upon hearing her voice, Ava attempted to sit up and made a feeble, low-pitched appeal for Lucius. Lisa was instantly freed by Lucius, and Ava's voice could be heard. "Ava, you're at last awake." Mother, Lucius, and I hurried to the bed to assist Ava in quietly searching up. "Ava,
CHAPTER 149 LUCIUS POV "What could have happened now to Ava, I just pray she's fine." As we hurried to see how Ava was doing, Allegra murmured to me. "What's wrong, what happened to Ava?" "Is she hurt?" Allegra and I went straight to Ava's room and started asking random questions. My parents were sitting next to her on her bed, seemingly comatose, and a strange individual was in front of them. "She was brought unconscious to the pack, by this young man who happened to see her and rush her here." Allegra walked up to Ava's bed to check on her and Mother answered. "Good morning ma, here is the blow of water and towel you asked for.”When the maiden entered with a blow and a towel, Allegra picked it up and gave it to Ava's mother, who used it to compress Ava's head. "Young man, I'm extremely thankful for your kind act of rushing her back to the pack and not trying to take advantage of her condition." "If not for you only who knows what will have been happening to her by now." Whi
CHAPTER 148LUCIUS POV That relationship I sensed something was off as the woman I saw came into view. It was Allegra, not Lisa, and everything started to become clear. I started to remember the times I had spent with Allegra, including how I had assisted her in getting revenge. I also remembered the night of the coronation, when Allegra told me she was pregnant. My heart skipped a beat; I nearly passed out. Allegra was terrified because she was seeing this happen right before her eyes."Lucius, what is the issue? Speak to me, are you alright?" She spoke, but I was unable to speak. I was reduced to tears. Allegra gave me a baby-like hug. I was upset with myself for speaking to her in such a cruel way and even for demeaning her. "I apologize, my love, I'm so sorry". Allegra was in disbelief when I told her, sobbing. She raised my head and gave me a direct gaze. "Lucius, can you recognize me?" I lowered my head in shame and nodded; she started crying too and gave me such a strong
CHAPTER 147 LISA POV It's annoying that everyone appears to be meddling in my affairs at the moment. It's unbelievable that the guards are now paying so close attention to me. I had to get out of here quickly. I have to stop taking chances or else my plans will not work out. As soon as I left my room, I saw how closely guarded the entire home was. No one can escape without being recognized since the level of security has been doubled. What should I do now? I have to get to the forest immediately, and I most surely don't want to be discovered.I went back into the room, grabbed a pile of clothes, and hid a disguise in them so I could leave without anyone noticing. Luckily, no one was there when I headed to the laundry, so I took a chance and used the door to escape the house's security and enter the woods. When I finally managed to leave the house, I made sure that no one saw me or was following me. I also wore a cape to conceal my identity in case I was found.I ventured deep i
CHAPTER 146 LUCIUS POVElara left the angry room. I was extremely sorry if I had offended her feelings, but I honestly don't know what to do. "Hello, Alpha, good morning. I have terrible news to share with you." I instantly turned to face my best friend as I walked out of my room. "What makes your information terrifying?" "Sir, it is heard and said that both our park and the Wildfire pack are in battle with each other." "And how is that my concern if I may ask?" "Sir Lucius, there is a misunderstanding developing between the two packs, and you are the alpha of the two of them. If you don't see it,then it's possible that this may result in their breakup, which would be an awful decision you would rather not make." I didn't respond to anything my beta stated because I didn't know how to handle the packs or deal with a scenario like this. "I have heard you, you can go now." "But sir...." "Please leave, I do not want to listen to any more complaints." I responded angrily to my beta
CHAPTER 145 ALLEGRA I took a seat at my desk, turned on my computer, and spent a great deal of time researching and participating in forums related to memory loss remedies. "After all we've been through together, I do not want to lose my Lucius; I can't afford to endure this pain." As I continued to post on several boards, I told myself that I would find a solution. "Allegra!" I was scared when I heard a voice coming from behind and shut down my computer right away since I didn't want anyone to interfere with my research. "Jez, Lucius you shocked the hell out of me so much I didn't notice when you even walked in.”It was almost possible that someone close to me could hear my heartbeat, I said, clutching my chest. "Well, it appeared you were really engaged in your system, 'cause I called your name and you still were distracted." "My apologies dear, truly I was absent-minded, working on my system." "Well it's fine, apologize for the distraction nevertheless, but I would like to as
CHAPTER 144 LUCIUS POV Lisa claimed to be the real person I'd been seeing in my dreams, so I made a lot of effort to link the love we shared. Everything seemed completely different. "What exactly in the world is happening here, Lisa what the fuck are you doing with my brother?" Lisa is attacked by a young woman named Ava who enters the room violently and grabs her by the hair. "Get your outrageous self away from him, before I tear you to pieces." My heart thumps in shock as Ava yells at Lisa. "Well as you could see we were having a moment of reconnecting, before your interruption, why are you covered in bitterness?”Lisa hissed back. Ava lifted her fists to strike him, but I intervened to stop her. "How dare you speak to me with that kind of voice and tune, you witch?" "Don't lay a hand on her, she has done practically nothing wrong, furthermore, you are the one starting up the scene." "Brother don't tell me you are really siding with this deceiving serpent?" With a look of ext
