CHAPTER EIGHT

ALLEGRA

That awful day came back. I was able to witness the day my ex-mate declared my ex-best friend to be his Luna. Their happy expressions and the pack members' delight. I experienced the painful moment once more. As I witnessed the event, I clenched my hand into a blow, and instead of feeling the depressing aftermath, I felt an intense sense of vengeance.

In the lake, I sensed two hands grab and release me. I landed in the water right away. I woke up with a gasp. After all, it was all a nightmare. I was panting fiercely and soaked with sweat.

My hands were gripping the blankets tightly, and I was still drenched in perspiration despite the room's AC being on.

I heard someone shuffling close, so I looked up to find Lucius quickly putting on his clothing. To my amazement, my gaze went directly to the wall clock. It was just past one in the morning.

I wondered where Lucius intended to go this time of the night. He was dressed up, but why? Well, asking him directly t

    CHAPTER nineLUCIUSI made my way to the battleground. My guards were occupied fighting the invading rouges. I heard the clanging of swords. Blood spattered everywhere, and roars filled the battlefield. I sprouted my claws and plunged into the combat zone. I was ambushed simultaneously by two rogues, but I managed to put one of them to the ground with a fast kick to the foot. Grabbing the other's blade, I used it to draw him closer to me. As soon as he attempted to take the blade from my grasp, I spun him around by grabbing his neck. I met his gaze directly. He lay down on me and I put my claw around his throat. I wrapped my claw around his neck before he could react, leaving the floor stained with his blood. I overcame all of the rogues with my bare hands and feet, even though they were armed with swords. They weren't as powerful as you had anticipated. We were able to overcome them and seize the remainder of them with relative ease. I examined the helpless targets we had appre

    CHAPTER TENLUCIUS Point of View At first, I kept silent. All I could do was stare at her, and she would not stop asking me the same question. I knew I had to respond to her. Anything at all to get her to quit bugging me, or at least keep the truth from her. I would not tell her, and I didn't want her to find out. She gazed up at me, curiosity shining in her eyes as I searched my mind. I could tell she was beginning to get wary already. "Look, Allegra..."I started to say something, but before I could get very far, there was a tap on the door. I felt like smiling as I turned to face the door, but I had to suppress my smile. "Pardon me," I muttered to Allegra, hoping she wouldn't bother me once again. All she did was nod. She was no longer bothering me, and for that I was thankful. I moved over to the door and let it open. I was happy the knock had come. I still hadn't decided which lies to tell Allegra. It was only a rescuer, and I was happy it arrived. One of my guards was w

    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.

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,

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

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 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.

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

"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

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

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.

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
