LUCIAN"What do you mean by someone who has been Nikolai? Who the hell is the person?" I snapped angrily.He pulled his phone from his pocket and showed me a picture of a woman in a black costume. She was old and wrinkly, and I could barely see the light in her eyes as I peered into the picture. Damn it! "Listen, I would explain everything on the way there, but we need to see the body right now. There might be some clues that we aren’t able to put together," Nikolai tried to reason with me.I nodded as I followed after him. It was at that moment that I realised that Brody was probably waiting for me to show up. I calmly brought my phone out and informed him that he could continue with the operation with Raul. He didn’t argue with me so much, and I disconnected the call on a firm note.Nikolai walked ahead of me, and I quickly moved towards him. There was so much clarification that I had to get done concerning this issue. Was the Blue Moon Pack still trying to attack us despite the cl
ANDREA"Do you think we should wake her up right now?" I could hear Amelia whine in the background.I sighed as I nestled closer to my pillow. Goddess knew that I needed the sleep, but the sounds of the girls talking had not allowed me to even close my eyes peacefully. They were just too much, and super loud while at it.There was some quiet pull and shove before Lily’s voice rang out. "I think we need to tell her what is going on because she is the Luna, and she is the only one who can stop the whole issue from blowing out of proportion.""You’re probably right, but what if she gets angry or something?" Lucinda whined.She was slapped at the back by the other two. "No, that is not going to happen. You’ve served her for quite a while now, and do you think that the Luna would make things unbearable for us?" Lily reasoned.I could imagine that she shook her head at that because their steps suddenly became loud as they drew near me. I clutched at the blanket trying to remain at ease, but
ANDREA"Brody, leave it," I mumbled.He looked up at me, his face inching into a glare. I was mildly taken aback by the seriousness of it all. Valerie’s words that I had to stay away from her husband came back at me in full force. If she knew he was right in my room and holding my legs like this, I have no idea what she might think. The thought only served to make me slightly breathless."I said you should let go of me," I mumbled once more.He sighed as he took a step back, staring right into my face. "Don’t talk anymore. Can’t you see that you’re bleeding? I can’t just let you go around like that, right?""The maids are there to fix me up. Where are they anyway?"He shrugged as he turned back to the injury. "I sent them away. I thought it would be nice to see you without any distractions." I gasped in shock as I shoved him back before limping to the bed. "Are you out of your mind? If anyone sees you here without a chaperone, then I will be in big trouble. We are not single anymore,
ANDREAIt’s been three days of absolute hell, and I was trying hard not to break the promise I made to myself not to talk to my mates till they showed any sign of leading without rifts or fighting for me like they didn’t understand the goddess words.I sighed as I sat in front of the mirror, staring at my own reflection. I looked so pitiful, and I was embarrassed for myself. It was not right to look so down as the Luna of the Red Moon Pack. But, what could I do? The evidence that would have gotten my freedom has not been found, and instead, I was shying away from my friends. It was crazy all around, and I wished that there could have been something I could do to stop the way everything had gone from bad to worse."Let me see the Luna," a voice screeched outside.I could hear the guard say in their calmest voice that I didn’t want any visitors. But the lady wouldn’t stop shouting. It took me a minute to realise that it was Lady Anna. What did she want? I thought she wanted to stay awa
RAUL“Are you listening to us, Alpha?”I sat up a bit on the chair, looking right at the men gathered around the table. They were all looking at me nervously, and that made me realize that I had neglected them for the last 15 minutes. I was the one who called them here, and I was still so clueless. My fingers groped the glass of water on the table nervously. “Yes, I'm with you. You were telling me how you weren't able to catch the criminal, right?”“Yes, second Alpha. The killer is intelligent and every single time that we try to uncover his tracks, he eludes us,” Shane pointed out.I glared at the man who always had on a lip-ring, regardless of what time it was. “I don't want excuses, Shane. I know he'd leave clues behind, no matter how much he tries to run. Use that to get him. Someone is behind him, and he is the key to uncovering who it is. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say,” I snapped.He gulped. “I understand, Second Alpha.”“Good,” I mumbled as I rose to my feet. “
RAULAndrea was standing right in front of me, and with the look in her eyes, I could tell that she was hurt. Cleo walked away without sensing her presence, and I tried to move over to her, but she turned away from me."Andrea, please don’t do this. I can’t live without you, and you mean a whole lot to me. I know it seems like everything is going off right now, but if you would let me explain, then we could get back on the right track. Whatever you saw with Cleo is not what you think!" I cried.Despite how loud my voice was, she didn’t stop in the least. I felt like every part of me was throbbing in pain. How could I change everything now? What could I do so that there wouldn’t be more misunderstandings between us?Everything was falling apart, and I couldn’t glue it together. I staggered back to the wall as I stared at the empty hall. "I’m so sorry because I’m the one who causes you the most pain. I wish it wouldn’t be like that, and we’d get out of all these problems that are threat
MEADEDusk was here already, and that meant one thing; it was time for me to do what I had planned. I grabbed the small silver body on my shelf, turning it slowly around my fingers. It felt as though it was harmless, but I knew it wasn't. Cleo was going to use this and get my work done. “I'm doing the right thing, right?” I asked the empty room.There was no response to that question. Instead, my hands shook lightly around the bottle. I frowned lightly as I glared at it before placing it into the pockets of my gown.No matter what happened today, I was going to make sure that Cleo slid her way into being the Luna. That was the only option that I had at this point.I slowly walked out of my room, only to see that the guards were right out of my room. It took me aback a bit, and I found myself going still as I looked at them.“Eh… why are you all standing here?” I asked at once.They exchanged looks. “Lady Meade, we are always here to guard you. It's part of the reasons we live.”I for
CLEO The bottle burnt a while in my panties with every move that I made to Raul's room. I could only hope that I was doing the right thing. If things went the other way, then, it would be just me who would be no trouble and no-one else. 'Stop thinking like that, Cleo. You came here because you wanted to make Raul your mate. So, this is the right opportunity for everything to work out perfectly.' My wolf explained softly. I smiled a bit. She was right. I was the one who ought to walk alongside Raul, and not Andrea. Lady Meade had called her a maid, and it was my duty to reduce her to the status that she deserved. Sliding my hair behind my ears, I calmly turned the corner that led me to Raul's room. Three guards were standing right in front of his room. The button of their jacket was open right at the front, and it made me realize that it would be easy to get what I wanted now. Pulling my night robe closer to my body, I walked determinedly to them. “Open the door,” I said at on
