Chapter 61Alexa's POVEveryone stares at me stunned, including Amelie. I glanced at Leon and he was patiently eating his food.“You know, I'm used to it now that it doesn't faze me anymore. I'm sure the moon goddess has her reasons, after all, it's not every day you get to see a she-wolf without a wolf,” I replied and continued to eat.“How about you?” I ask, glancing at her.“What about me? She inquires, not sparing me a glance.“How long have you always wanted to be a mistress? I mean, don't get me wrong. You must have always wanted this, right? To swoop in and come in between two people. Please do tell me how it feels like because I can't relate at all,” I said calmly. Blood drains from her face as she stares at me, her mouth agape.“Alexa, what is this behavior? How dare you speak to her like that?” the Alpha growls, and I resist the urge to roll my eyes.“But she can speak however she wants to me, and it's allowed,” I said icily, glancing at the Alpha. He looked shocked by my re
Chapter 62Alexa's POV“Good, we have a deal. Send someone to inform me of the time and location,” I reply with a smile, turning around to leave.“What about me? What prize do I get?” she asks, obviously still upset about my condition.“If you win, you get the title of Luna, right? What other prize is bigger than that?” I answer, walking towards my chambers without stopping or turning around.“Alexa,” I heard Ace's voice call out urgently. I halt without turning around. I know he's here to talk me out of this. He walks and stops in front of me.“Lexa, what are you trying to do? Do you have a death wish?” he said angrily. I have never seen an angry Ace before.“I know what I'm doing. You don't need to worry,” I reply with a smile, trying to pacify his anger. He has never been angry with me before. I've always ever seen him smile, and I don't feel comfortable seeing him like this.“Like hell you do. Why do you care so much about a position that is not even worth it? Do you know how ruth
Chapter 63Amelie's POVI hum, twirling around and smiling happily. Today is the happiest day of my life. Alexa successfully got into my trap. Did she honestly think that she was going to win against me? Alexa? That can't even shift? I laugh loudly. She has no idea what her pride made her get into. Whenever I turn into my wolf form, I let her take control completely and she is completely ruthless. When I let her out, all she wants to taste and smell is blood, and my opium makes her completely unstoppable and undefeatable. “Amelie!” the Alpha growls, slamming the door shut. I roll my eyes, fully aware of the reason he's here.“Over here,” I reply, my voice dripping with sweetness.“Have you lost it? Why would you do something like that without informing me first?” he mutters angrily.“Calm down, Kai, I told you I wanted it to be a surprise,” I reply gently.“What surprise? Do you know this is going to end in a bloodbath? Why do you even want the title of Luna? You are already Luna to
Chapter 64Amelie's POVHe turns around to see me hurrying after him, he must have heard my footsteps. I adjust my gown and my hair. He ignores me and continues to walk.“Ace, wait up,” I yell and he stops.“Good morning, did you sleep well?” I ask, finally catching up to him and smiling widely.“What is it?” he grumbles impatiently.“Won't you respond or at least ask me if I slept well too?” I ask, purposely touching my neck, so he could look at me properly. But he kept staring at my face nonchalantly.“Is there something wrong? Did I do anything to upset you?” I ask sweetly. I can see his jaw tick in anger.“You sure you don't know what you did?” he inquires, trying to control his anger. “I don't want to see your face for another minute because I don't know what I might do,” he continues, turning around to walk away.“Wait,” I gently called out, grabbing his arm. He suddenly grabs my arms and pins them behind me with one of his hands.“Don't touch me. You should leave now while I'm
Chapter 65Alexa's POVI was in my room getting ready to train for the day. After getting ready, I step out to see people rushing outside. I looked around, confused as to why people were whispering and rushing out. I push myself between the sea of people and decide to ask someone what is going on.“Excuse me, where are you all rushing to?” I asked a lady.“A maid is being punished outside by Lady Amelie, we are all headed out to find out what happened,” the lady replies, running off and leaving me behind. I hurried after them, and my blood boiled when I saw Amelie whipping Kira mercilessly. Everyone stood silently, not wanting to interfere. But not me.I glance coldly at the guards. “Didn't you hear what I said?” they looked between me and Amelie for a second.“Yes Luna,” they reply, putting Kira down. Kira hurriedly ran to stand behind me. I let go of the whip.“You fools, did I ask you to put her down,” Amelie growls angrily.“Don't transfer your aggression to the guards, they were
Chapter 66Amelie's POVI pace around my chambers, starting to get antsy. I was lucky I was able to get away from Alexa and those pack members before my symptoms kicked in. I get angry again when I think about that maid. I should have just killed her right there. I'm going through this pain right now because of her. I start to roughly take off my clothes. I feel itchy and sweaty. I rushed to take a bath, the pain I'm feeling was unbearable, but I could not scream for fear of anyone asking me what was wrong. The cool water calms my aching joints a little but did nothing to calm my inner fire. I run out and quickly gulp down a glass of water to soothe my aching throat. I threw the cup away in a fit of rage. It didn't help at all, nothing seems to be working. I peer out of the window and everywhere is still bright and bustling with activities. I can't afford to go out now, or else people will see me. I have to wait until dark. Just the thought of enduring this pain until dark brings tea
Chapter 67Alexa's POVI raised my hand and slapped her fiercely. I am fuming with anger. How dare she say something so ruthless to a little child. She stares at me in disbelief.“Y…you dare to hit me?” she asks, clutching her cheeks.“And I will hit you again and again if you speak such venomous words to him ever again. I can tolerate you insulting me, but never try that with Leon again. How dare you criticize him when you know how his parents died,” I reply coldly.“No one has ever dared to hit me before, and you hit me? Alexa, you?” she mutters in shock.“So what if I did? You deserve every bit of it?” I said icily.“How dare you!” she screeches, coming towards me. She stretches her hands to return the slap. Her face looks hideous when she's angry. But I was prepared, so I reached out to stop her. When she sees that she could not hit my face, she pushes me with great force. I stagger, trying not to fall and hurt Leon who is behind me. Leon tried to push Amelie off me, but she pushe
Chapter 68Alpha Kai's POV“This is absurd,” I mutter, pacing around. We have all gathered outside the pack house.“Take a seat, Kai,” Ace said, looking straight ahead at the clearing where the duel was going to take place.“Don't you think this is wrong? She's going to die. We've all gathered around to witness that,” I reply, taking a seat beside Ace.“Let's have faith in Lexa. If she says she knows what she's doing, let's trust she does,” he said. I stare at him unbelievably. Does she know what she's doing? Alexa? Someone who can't even shift or have any war experience is about to have a duel with a wolf who is experienced. The only way I see this ending today is her being torn to shreds.“This is going to end in a bloodbath. I can't just sit here and watch a member of my pack die,” I insist.“There's nothing that can be done again, Alpha and why do you look so stressed?” the chief replies, giving me a wary look.“I'm not stressed,” I answer.“Why am I finding it hard to believe you
