Chapter 39Alpha Kai's POV“You should calm down,” Amelie says, her head resting on my chest and her fingers gently caressing my arm. We are laying on our tangled sheets after two hours of intense lovemaking. I am still furious over the kind of behavior Ace displayed this afternoon in my office. Amelie came in shortly after, and she does know just how to make me feel better. At this rate, the crescent pack is going to have an heir soon and secure my pack member's future.“How can Ace do that? He has never shown me that level of disrespect before or lost his temper in front of me,” I reply, surprised by his actions but still angry.“It must be Alexa. She must have told Ace everything that happened,” Amelie says after thinking for a while.“Of course, I know it's her, there was nobody else there at that time that could have told him. She even lied that the maids and guards were present,” I answer, repulsed by the kind of lies that came out of her mouth.“She knows Ace has a soft spot fo
Chapter 40Alexa's POVI walk back to my room and sit on my bed, dejected. I was glad that I would finally have a chance to prove myself to the Alpha by handling the internal affairs of the pack, but Amelie just had to swish in and ruin my plans. “Luna, lady Amelie has called an emergency meeting,” Kira said as she hurriedly ran into the room.I frown. “Meeting? What meeting? And why are you telling me this?” “I don't know, she just told me to get you right away,” Kira replies, panting slightly.“Alright, let's go,” I sighed and stood up from my bed. Kira leads the way, and we walk until she stops at a spaced corridor where Amelie is sitting elegantly on a chair with her legs crossed. Different women, including the maids, stood in front of her, whispering quietly.“Look who finally decided to grace us with her presence,” she says sarcastically, immediately she saw me enter. The whispers died down. I ignored her remark and stood in front of her.“Why did you call me here?” I ask, sta
Chapter 41Alpha Kai's POVI sit at my desk reminiscing about what Amelie had said about Alexa and she was completely right. Ace is beginning to get too attached to her, and she's using that privilege to sow discord between us, but I won't let that happen.I signed the files for the internal pack affairs position in Amelie's name. This would mean that she will be in charge of all the expenses the pack incurs, and she will also have unlimited access to the pack's wealth. The Luna of a pack is supposed to take care of such things, but I don't think Alexa has half the brains or the capability to take care of such matters. She was a slave anyway, she would not even understand what these documents mean or how much it means to the entire pack.Amelie, on the other hand, is the daughter of a beta of a prominent pack. That's why I married her because I trust her capabilities fully. I let the ink dry and rolled up the scroll. I kept it neatly beside me.“Kai,” I hear Amelie's voice call out.S
Chapter 42Alexa's POVI pull the bathrobe closer to my drenched and cold body. The guards let me walk between them and directed me toward the dungeon. I walk silently in my heavy and drenched clothes. My clothes are not the only things that feel heavy, even my heart is heavy, filled with grief.“Luna,” the guards called out to me. I look up at them, and they gesture for me to enter the dungeon, where they just opened the doors. I quietly entered without making a fuss, they locked the door securely and took the key along with them. I took a look around the dungeon since I will be staying there for a while. It had a foul odor and blood stained the walls, I didn't want to think about what must have happened to the people who had been there. I am all alone in my cell, but I could hear some moans, and groans of pain, and discomfort coming from other cells. This cell is a lot cleaner than I expected. They might have given me the least polluted one because of my status.The cell I shared w
Chapter 43Alpha Kai's POV'Alpha, he's out of danger now, but he's still a child, and he spent a long time underwater which entered his lungs and caused some damage. All we can do now is hope and pray he wakes up soon,'I run my hands through my hair severally thinking of the doctor's words. Is Alexa really that heartless enough to do such a thing to a little child?“That woman is so vicious. I can't believe she did this to a child. Unbelievable,” Amelie says, sitting on the chair next to me. “Alpha, Leon is awake,” a maid comes to inform us. I dash out quickly towards the doctor's office with Amelie right behind me.I walk in to meet the chief and the chief's wife right beside a pale-looking Leon. They immediately stood up to greet me, but I gestured for them to sit, they must be going through a lot right now.“Leon, are you okay?” I ask in a concerned tone, and he nods his head weakly. He looked around and said in a weak voice.“Where is goddess Lexa? Is she not here?”“goddess Le
Chapter 44Alpha Kai's POVThe guard is right. She really is dead. I could no longer hear her heartbeat. This was also the reason no one could trace her scent, the water washed everything away.“Everyone, to the pack house now!” I ordered the pack members who were present and whispering among themselves. They all immediately start trooping inside.“What is going on?” Alexa asks, coming towards the pool. “Oh my!” she screeched when she saw the lifeless body of the maid.I walked towards where she was and crouched to properly inspect her body. From the way her skin was pale and her stomach swollen due to the amount of water intake, she must have drowned for more than an hour. Such a thing has never happened in the pack before. The maids and guards were all werewolves, so it will be very unlikely for her to drown this easily.“Do you think someone killed her?” Alexa asks anxiously.Murder? That was one of the many probabilities.“Don't be silly, who would want to kill a maid and why?” Am
Chapter 45Ace's POVI stopped in my tracks and turned toward her with an inquisitive stare.“It's just that, we haven't really had dinner together since I arrived, and I would like us to get to know each other better,” she explains with a smile.“Not today, I have a lot of things to do, maybe some other time,” I replied and without waiting for any of them to speak, I turned on my heels and left. I went straight to my room. The maid was very lucky she killed herself, else I would have pulled out her tongue first before killing her for daring to lie against Alexa. I had heard she was in the dungeon, everybody in the pack knew, and I had wanted to immediately run to Kai's office to argue with him.But something in me pulled me back. Even if I had gone to argue with Kai, there would have been nothing he could have done, it was against the pack rules to commit murder and Alexa was accused of attempted murder and so everyone was expecting the same punishment to be given to her. The pack ru
Chapter 46Alexa's POV“W…what do you mean by that?” I stutter, laughing nervously. Does he know? He knows, else why would he ask me a question like that? I concentrate deeply on my food, avoiding his gaze. My mind went into overdrive, thinking of every possible scenario that might be going through his head.“I mean, you don't look or behave like you were a slave at all,” he replies.“Is there a way a slave is supposed to look and behave?” I chuckle, still avoiding eye contact with him. I'm scared he might be able to decipher all that I'm feeling right now if I make the mistake of gazing into his eyes.“Come on Lexa, you know what I mean you behave…. extremely different from normal slaves, I can't place my finger on what exactly it is, but I just know it,” he explains confidently.I try to calm my racing heart because I very well know that werewolves have a special sense of hearing and I know he can hear the way my heart is beating very fast. Even though it hurts me to lie to the only
