Carmen's pov I stood at the front of the mirror in my room heading out to start my mission, bring Teagan to our side, and come in between Kai and Lorenzo. I packed my hair up in a ponytail and stepped out of my chamber making sure I paid attention to every detail of my dress, I was putting on a body-fitted blue dress, and I made sure I looked stunning to get Kai's attention. I made sure Lorenzo was not around as I had been informed earlier she went to town. I made sure Kai was in his bed chamber before I went to him, I placed a knock on his door "Who's there" he said. with his thick masculine voice. It's me Carmen I said as I opened to door to go in. I could see he was surprised. "Hmm, I was just passing by and thought I should say hi it's been a while I said looking around and making sure we were the only one in the room. "Thank you," he said not even sparing me a glance. " I think we should finish what we weren't able to the last time I was here," I said trying to look
Lorenzo's pov I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, I could hear Kai's footsteps behind me, heavy and determined. My heart raced as I brushed my arms against the trees, my legs aching as I ran through the forest. I've been running for what feels like hours, but I know I can't stop now. I can't let him catch up with me. I kept running between the trees, breathing in gaps. I heard him calling my name, but I did not turn around. I stared at the long way ahead. Never have I felt so scared, or terrified. What if he gets me? What excuse will he give me for meeting him and Carmen like that? I brushed the thoughts away and kept running. Then I heard the sound of rushing water up ahead hopefully I could leave him in the river. I erupt from the forest and see a glittering of water under the sunlight. I did not hesitate, I dived into the icy water, the water was so cold it sent shivers down my spine. I paddled with the current of the water, swift and confident. I sensed him staring at m
Kai's pov It's been hours since I started running after her, my legs are sore and aching and my head is on fire. She's just at my front running as fast as she could to get away from me. I clenched my teeth and ran faster, following her as she was speeding away. She has all right to be angry, she has all reason to run from me. I guess I'm not any different from Teagan after her, she trusted me and I betrayed her, she has all the reasons to run away from me like I'm a monster. I can remember the look on her face when she caught me and Carmen; it was full of anger and hatred. It hurts to even think of how she sees me now, I just want to explain myself even though I have no excuse, but now she's on a run away from me. But as I ran I thought of what pushed me to lay with Carmen, she didn't force me, if I had said no she would have left, but something kept pushing me to have a taste of her one more time, perhaps it was my lust. It then dawned on me that I had lost her, she had disappear
Teagan's pov I've been thinking about what Carmen said for days, it has been giving me sleepless nights. Eliminate Alpha Kai and Lorenzo" I said to myself pacing in my room. I thought of how they made me feel; the humiliation, my feeling of powerless, making me feel useless, but can I really trust Carmen, although I was glad I wasn't the only one who wanted them out of the way, I thought of how affectionate and caring she is to me, although I just got a little close to her something in me trust her so much. But can she really do it, a lot of people have tried to kill Alpha Kai in the past but they all met with their doomed end instead. I sat on my bed panicking, I was indecisive I had so much to think about and yet little time to make a choice. "We have to be fast, we have little time" Carmen's warning rings in my head, "has I succeeded in coming in between them, the best time is now". I lay back in bed staring at the ceiling my mind wandering and wondering if I'm definitel
Lorenzo's pov Days went by, and Tina and I settled into a routine, in the morning she treated my injured legs and in the afternoon we went out together to explore the surrounding woods and meadow. We grew closer and I had to reveal my pregnancy to her which made our conversation flow more easily as she shared her own pregnancy journey with me. One afternoon we were in her small garden together watering the plants, Tina turned to me with a curious expression "Can I ask you something" she says "of course" I replied taken about by the question What happened to you and your sister" she asked with a Calm voice, you kept mentioning her in your dreams. I hesitated, unsure of what response to give her, I've been having nightmares about Bridget, the same nightmare over and over, Bridget would sit on my thrown laughing at me after ordering my execution. I didn't want it to be like I was hiding everything away from Tina after helping me. "She's my sweet sister, but the biggest brat,"
Kai's pov I've been walking for days looking for Lorenzo, I've searched every nook and cranny I came across but still I couldn't find her. I'm starting to lose hope, but that didn't stop me I was determined to find her before anyone gets to her or hurt her before I find her. But then I saw a light in the distance, A cottage with smoke coming from its chimney I knew she was going to be there. I started making my way towards the cottage thinking of what I would say to her and how I would make things right. I hid inside the bush beside the cottage and peeped through the window then I saw her eating with an old lady, they were laughing and clasping hands, the fear in my heart suddenly disappeared I was glad she was safe I stayed there for hours peeping at them. Then suddenly Lorenzo started walking towards the door I quickly left where I was hiding and went to the front of the house so she could see me when she came out. She opened the door gently and closed it back as soon as
Teagan's pov The throne room went silent immediately I stepped in it. My eyes scanned the faces in the throne room, the elders of the park, knights, and guards, they were all waiting for my announcement. "My people" I began the meeting "Alpha Kai is dead" I could see the shock on their faces as they all exchanged glances with one another. "He left his throne vacant for a month for God's only known reason, he and the Luna and I sent soldiers to look for them but they weren't found but we found clues that point to their deaths," I said as I walked towards the throne confidently I could hear their inaudible murmurs " you all know what that means right" I paused and survey the room. "As of today, I Teagan take my rightful place as the Alpha. My father's reign has come to an end and a new reign has begun". They started clapping and cheering awkwardly, and I raised my hand to stop the noise."my dear subjects" I continued my voice ringing out "It is time for a new beginning, an era
Teagan's pov I stood on the podium in the middle of the town, I could see everyone crumbled in the square, the sun cast a golden glow over the town, the air was thick with tension, my eyes were cold and stern, the executioner, Rizzo, and the elders of the clan were standing beside me. A loud murmur erupted from the crowd as they paved to make way for the guards bringing Carmen bound with heavy chains, her eyes heavy, full of unspoken words as she was led to the podium. The guards halted at the front of the podium and Carmen was forced to her knees before me, her eyes tried to hide her emotions but I could see the fear behind them. "Carmen Eudora, a spy from Sliver Moon Park" Rizzo announced his voice ringing out across the town's square " you took our pack's kindness for granted, you've been found guilty of treason against the crescent moon pack, and by the order of the Alpha you have been sentenced to death by beheading". A loud noise came from the crowd immediately after Riz
