ANDREAThe air was so stuffy and nauseating. I looked around the bland walls, shocked that something like this existed in this modern age. The noise also made matters worse. Why did I have to come here in the first place? 'To find out the truth about your accident, Andrea,' my wolf said softly.I slid my hands through my hair as I looked around, only to see Lady Meade and Nikolai step into the enclosed cell. What the hell was she doing here? She kept touching her blue gown as though she was unsure of herself. This wasn’t good. Taking a deep breath, I slowly made my way into the small cell. None of the occupants knew I was there. I shook lightly as I watched the guard bled as he weakly tried to release his hands from the ropes. He couldn’t. He was stuck to the chair, and he had no saving grace."Brother, I know that you don’t like me speaking in things like this, but I’m just so stunned at the way everything is happening. I have never imagined that our family would be in danger. And,
LADY MEADE"What do you mean I shouldn’t have come here?" Andrea asked in shock.I watched as she placed her hand on Lucian’s chest, and it only made me more annoyed. I shifted my gaze to Nikolai, but he was looking at the guard angrily. Jeez! At this rate, would any of my plans work? My hands curled into fists at my sides That can’t happen."I didn’t want anything to upset you, and it has," Lucian said suddenly.What the hell? They couldn’t gravitate around Andrea like this. It was not right, and I had to do something so that it doesn’t continue like this. Helplessly, I watched as he pecked her on her hair once more. I couldn’t help but look away, remembering what Valerie had said about bringing another lady into their lives to distract them. It could work..."I’m fine, but we need to make this bastard confess the truth of his crimes," Andrea whined like a fly."Of course, but right now, we would return to the pack house. Let him think about his life for now," Lucian said softly.I f
ANDREAI pulled my hair up as Lucinda helped me with the jewellery. The chain was a pain in the ass. "If you’re finding it difficult locking it, I would rather dress as I am. I have no time to waste dressing up. My mates are waiting for me," I pointed out.She caught my gaze through the mirror as she calmly smiled at me. "It would be a shame if you don’t wear the necklace. The dress is incomplete without it, and we can’t give anyone the chance to complain, can we?" She teased.I gave her a look. "Ok, do it then," I mumbled.She looked back at the jewellery, trying hard to fix it. She finally got it right, and I rose to my feet, holding the silver gown tightly in my hands to enable me to move. The outfit was proper, and I liked that my breast was not shown. It was going to enable me to breathe a bit."Bring my purse," I said quickly.Lucinda hurried towards the bed to retrieve the purse like I had told her to. She handed me the purse the moment I stepped out of the room. I really hoped
ANDREA"What?"I rose to my feet as I stared at Lily in shock. She couldn’t possibly be serious! The evil guard who had taken my life was well, and he would not die so easily. I was sure that all of this was a setup to hide the truth. Yes, that was possibly the case."Your alleged killer is dead," Lily said once more.Sliding my feet into the slippers, I ran as fast as I could to the dungeon. He can’t fucking die right now. There must be a way to know the truth about the issue. I had been planning on visiting him later, so I could find out what was happening to him. He just couldn’t die!In moments, I was right in front of the cell. There were tons of guards in black uniform that were standing guard. They all had grim expressions and couldn’t look up. I pulled at my gown as I slowly made my way through the throng. None of them made any move to stop me. It was as though time had stopped and there was definitely nothing that could be done to stop things from going worse. It was the wors
NIKOLAI"I have to believe that you can be able to stay here on your own?" I said softly, as I opened the door to Andrea’s room.Her fingers softly slid away from mine, at the same moment that our eyes met. I sighed as I stepped closer to her, my fingers lightly touching her hair a bit. Her yellow eyes were so low, and it broke me a bit. How I wish I could protect her from everything."I would be fine, Nikolai. You don’t need to worry about me so much," she whispered.I gave a soft nod. "I’m not too worried because I know that you can take perfectly good care of yourself. Its’s the one thing that I really love about you."Andrea stepped back from me as she tried hard to maintain her composure. "We would talk later. You can go," she managed.I wanted to plead with her even more, but she slowly closed the door. My hands slowly moved to the handle of the door, but all I could hear were her silent tears. I sanely wished that I could go to her in my wolf form. But, it was useless because I
ANDREA'What should we do now? Go for a run?' Kezav mumbled through the mind-link.I sighed as I looked out of my window. I was quite aware that my maids were seated on the floor, waiting for my orders, but it seemed as though they had come for someone else. Maybe, that run might help to pull me back to reality?I wasn’t so sure, but I could only hope that this was the case with me. With a sigh, I turned around and noted that the three had their heads down with their hands busily passing the needle and thread. They were always stitching something. It was insane sometimes."Lily," I whispered, breaking through the quietness.She looked up at once, her hands stalling. "Yes, Luna," she said as she tried to rise to her feet.I signalled for her to sit back. "If anyone asks of me, kindly inform them that I’m at the forest region. There are a lot of things that I need to handle these days. I hope that would be ok by you?" I asked softly."But, would we be...""No!" I said absently. Moving o
ANDREA"Have you gone mad?" Lady Meade screamed at me.I glared at her as I made my way to her. "You’re the one who is crazy for trying to kill your brothers’ mate. You have no shame, but I’m not going to mince words with you right now, because that would be the worst thing that can happen to me considering you killed someone!""Shut up!" She thundered, shoving me back as she made her way around me. I glared at her angrily. She was not going to change so fast was she? After all these time, this woman was still a pain in the ass. Only the goddess knew how many lies she had taken just because she wished to remain at the top. But, I wouldn’t let her use me like I was a fucking joke anymore."Do you believe the nonsense that she is sprouting out?" Lady Meade asked.I turned to my mates, and they were all a block of ice. Lady Meade tugged each of their hands as she went on another rant. "She had always had a vendetta against me because she knows that I knew her ways when she was a slave.
ANDREAThe dirt was my anchor right now, and I wasn’t sure I could be able to breathe normally anymore. I let my hands press against my chest, hoping to push the pain away even more. But, it was relentless and cold against me. This was so unfair, and no-one deserved to be treated this way. Slowly, I rose to my feet, walking back into my room. The accusatory eyes of my mates came back at me in full force, and it was so paralysing. I knew for long that it was a game to them, but for the whole issue to escalate so badly without warning broke my heart so badly.'It’s going to be fine,' my wolf reassured me slowly.'I don’t know, Kezav. I was accused of being a killer by the man that should have stood by me. Is this how life should be?' I asked quietly.My wolf howled as I made my way around the hall. There was no-one around, and I was glad about it. I didn’t need any form of mockery at this time. With sure steps, I walked into my room. Lucinda was trying to make the bed, and I just could
ANDREAIt’s been a week, and I was starting to feel like myself again. There had been apologies and whatnot, but my father-in-law had not been able to do that. Instead, he walked out of the pack and told us not to find him. I still didn’t know what to think about that, but I just hoped with all I had that there would be no more problems for him in the future.Now, I was heading to the dining area to dine with my friend. It felt like the most beautiful thing in the world right now, and I didn’t wish to stop thinking about it."She is here," my friends said the moment I stepped in.Lily, Lucinda, and Amelia giggled behind me, and I rolled my eyes. Despite all of my emotions, it felt good to be able to look at my friends. They complimented my golden gown with their black, red, and silver suits. Raul and Nikolai stretched their hands towards me, and I quickly moved over to them, placing my hands in theirs. It felt so good to be able to do that and be where I was with them, and I didn’t wan
ANDREAI was seated by Lucian’s side, with Nikolai and Raul flanking us as we looked at the elders, who had their heads bowed in submission. This was so weird, and I looked at Lucian for support, and he squeezed my hand in response before facing them once more."I called you all here because you’ve really hurt me. I have been someone who has taken the pack to greater heights all through my years, but what I got when I found out about my mate was that you tried to kill her," Lucian paused for effect.He signalled to his friends, and they placed their hands on my shoulders. "This is the speech you wanted to hear, right? But I won’t give you that," he said firmly.They rose their heads as they looked at the Alpha in shock. I looked at the boys I fell in love with, and it felt like my heart was about to burst with the love I was feeling."We," they said as one. "We are sorry for everything we’ve done in this pack so far," he muttered.The shock and awe were written all over the elders fac
ANDREA'Maybe, we would definitely die here,' Kezav mumbled in panic.I shook my head lightly, hoping that wouldn’t happen. I really hoped that my mates found me quickly. If they were arguing as usual, it would be more difficult to do, so they mustn’t fight, but cooperate with each other.I swallowed hard as the pain in my wrists intensified and my eyes swarm in circles. I was so damn hungry and thirsty, but I didn’t want to eat a thing. I wondered if the elders would serve me poison or something. It would really be a waste. I still wanted to see my mates once more, and tell them how much I loved them, and hoped they would not separate me from themselves.Those thoughts died a natural death as the door suddenly creaked open. The faces of the elders were so hazy, but I knew they were coming towards me."Shut up!" They screamed suddenly.I had not realised that I had been speaking at all. I sighed as I was pulled harshly up, my wrists slowly disintegrated from my own body."Do you reall
RAULI subconsciously placed my hand over my head in a bid to control the pain that I was feeling. Goddess, what the hell was going on with me? I sighed lightly as I slowly slid my eyes open. The whole place was so hazy, and the headaches seemed to triple, like something was after me. "What happened?" I asked in a slurred tone that didn’t seem to belong to me.Licking my sticky lips, I turned around, and the whole place was slowly becoming clearer. It seemed I was in my room. No, that wasn’t a probability; I was indeed here. But wasn’t I...'They are not burning. They are still in their wolf form,' I could hear those bastards cry in panic.I could remember how one of them had taken advantage of my situation and stabbed me. Damn! It must have been a silver blade, because nothing else could have brought me down that fast. But, were my brothers able to subdue the pack too?I honestly hoped so.With a soft sigh, I calmly placed my feet on the floor as I slowly rose from the bed. At first
LADY MEADEI could hear the sounds of people screaming and shouting as I walked out of the pack house, but it didn’t deter me from moving forward. That useless Andrea had almost spoiled all my plans when she intercepted me, but I was smarter than she was with everything that I had, and she was never going to win against me.When I get out of this mess, I will have to find out how I am going to handle her. It was important to put her right in the place she belonged, and I would gladly do all that on a platter. I have had enough of her nonsense.Pulling my hoodie over my head, I moved through the shortcut to the dungeon. As usual, the prisoners were waiting to be released. It never made sense to me why they were so bitter. Well, I wouldn’t be the same as they were. I’m going to fight for myself and my future.That was enough for me to move directly to the guard I had paid. I had no idea that he was also a part of the Blue Moon Pack, but that was okay. He was definitely going to call my
LUCIANRaul hit the ground with a thud, and I swallowed the lump in my throat as I moved towards the battle. There was an unquestionable desire to kill someone who had hurt my brother, but Nikolai was faster, snapping his head out of his body. The bastard lay dismembered.I moved over to Raul, who was now in his human form and was clutching his side in pain. "Are you ok?" I managed as I shifted back. His eyes drooped close, and I could tell that he was in pain for some reason, and that hurt me a whole lot more than I could put into words. My eyes slowly accessed the injury, and I realised that it was a silver dagger that had done the fatal wound. Goddess, this was too much! How could things just shift like this? It was too painful to be real, and I hated that my brother was at the receiving end of it."You would be fine," I mumbled softly.Nikolai suddenly pulled me up, and I realised he had shifted too. "What are you doing? The whole ground is filled with bloody fights, and you keep
LUCIAN“Shift!” I screamed to the soldiers behind me as I went right into the heart of the fight.One of the men came at me and I easily pulled him by the neck before snapping his head out of his body. There were several cries around, and my eyes sought my brothers who were also busy fighting like their lives depended on it. This was a moment that we had to use all we had to get the results that we needed, and I was going to be a part of that win.“Keep fighting brothers!” I snapped through the mind-link as I turned back toward the crowd.I hit whoever was in front of me with my dagger, knowing that it was either I died or they did. The oppositions were also shifting into their wolf form, but I held on to my human form, knowing it was not yet time for me to shift.Where was that bastard?My eyes shifted to red as I tried to seek him out, and I finally found a figure hiding at the bark of a tree. It was him. I growled as I stabbed the idiot who came at me before moving over to him. Alp
ANDREAI felt like I was drowning in something, and I struggled to rise to my feet. But for some reason, I was not able to do any of that. I panted in horror, and before long, my eyes were open. I saw nothing but darkness, and the pain was mildly suffocating. What the hell was going on? I slowly tried to move my hands once more, but it seemed like they were stuck on something. I couldn’t move it, and I had the insane thought that it would get worse with time."Who is there?" I screamed in horror.There was no response. Instead, it seemed like the darkness was sinking into my own skin. No, I couldn’t be afraid of the dark right now. I must find a way to get the hell out of here. I can’t continue this way."Show yourself! I wish to be free right now because you have no idea who you’re dealing with. I’m the Luna of this damn pack, and it will always remain like that till the end of time. The Alphas of the Red Moon Pack would slay you in a second if you didn’t do something about this! I
ANDREAI watched as the boys turned around to look at me. There was worry in their eyes for me. It broke my heart that things had come to this. I had not planned to give so much pain to them, but it had happened anyway. There was definitely nothing that I could have done to stop it. But, right now, it was important to ignore my own pain and focus instead on what was happening in front of me.I took several steps towards them, my fingers curling around my robe as I looked right at them. I promise I will talk to you guys together when this is all over, but... "What’s wrong, Andrea?" Nikolai asked softly.I took a deep breath, my fingers tightening even more around the robe. "I can’t let you go," I blurted out.Raul stepped forward, his eyes soft as he looked at me. "What are you saying, Andrea? The pack needs to be protected, and I just can’t stay back just like that. It’s important to get things done. If anything bad happens to people, I will never be able to forgive myself," he said
