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
Chapter 47Amelie's POV“That lowlife bitch!” I scream, shattering a mirror with my bare hands. I walked back to my room after Alexa had the nerve to talk to me like that. No one has ever spoken to me in that tone before, and that slave dared to say those things to me. Me? If it were back in my pack, I would have pulled out her tongue, chopped it into pieces, and shoved it back into her mouth. But I cannot do that now because that slave was lucky enough to be this pack's Luna, and she has the support of the entire pack.“Ahhhhh,” I scream in anger, turning the entire room upside down. I am Amelie and I always get whatever the hell I want, a slave won't get in my way this time from achieving my goal.“Where is it? Where is it? Where is it!” I scream in anger, frantically searching for my stuff. Without it, I would not be able to think clearly.“There you are,” I mumble excitedly, bringing out the small substance from where I had hidden it. I quickly clear the table and pour the brown s
Chapter 48Alexa's POVFinally.The day has finally come. I am elated that the Alpha gave me such a responsibility for the first time. Well, even if it was Amelie who suggested it. Who cares? All that matters is I will finally be able to prove myself to the Alpha.“Kira,” I call out in a sing-song voice, running into my room and giggling excitedly.“Luna, you shouldn't run, you might fall,” Kira says hurriedly, coming towards me. She always fusses so much over me like I'm still a child. I held her hands.“Kira, get me the most beautiful dress from my closet, the most expensive pieces of jewelry that you can find, and you have to make me look gorgeous today,” I say, smiling widely. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I can't afford to meet two Alphas as the Luna of the crescent pack under dressed.“Yes Luna, anything for you,” she replies. I've grown to really like Kira. She isn't pretentious or sucks up to me because I'm the Luna, she always speaks the truth even if it doesn'
Chapter 49Alexa's POVI took a look at Amelie. What narrative is she trying to portray to everyone when she very well knew that Alpha Deren was asking for the Luna? Alpha Deren looks at the both of us confused.“She is the Luna,” Alpha Kai responds. “This is Luna Alexa and Alexa these are Alpha Deren and Alpha Larick,” he introduces us to each other. “Hello, nice to meet you,” I say with a smile.“Luna Alexa, I've heard so much about you and I must say none of those descriptions do you any justice,” Alpha Deren says, smiling widely and gently placing a soft kiss on my knuckle. “Thank you, you flatter me,” I reply, smiling. “Luna Alexa, it's a pleasure to meet you,” Alpha Larick says, also placing a kiss on my knuckle.“Nice to meet you too,” I reply. Alpha Deren seems to be the jovial one among the two. He has dirty shoulder-length blonde hair and green eyes. However, Alpha Larick has dark brown hair and brown eyes, if not for the long scar that stretched from his right eyebrow do
Chapter 50Ace's POVThat dress. That body. Her scent. Everything about her has been driving me crazy throughout dinner. Her dress was not helping matters at all. She looks like a tempting seductress in her red dress. She was pacing around and speaking, but I could not hear a word she was saying. I think I've had a little too much to drink. She turns around abruptly, still speaking but my eyes and senses were trained somewhere else. Her dress had gone down lower than before, she must have dragged it down mistakenly. Her cleavage which was teasingly a bit out of her dress before is now on full display. What is wrong with me? Why do I feel like this when they've been so many naked women on my bed, more than I can count? But why is Alexa different? Why does my body react so much to her?However, my body has a mind of its own, I was not aware when I walked towards her and hugged her tightly. I inhale her scent deeply, which was a big mistake because every ounce of control I had left in m
Chapter 51Ace's POVI storm into my room, feeling infuriated. How dare he tell me what to do? I pace around my room, running my hands through my hair. I can never give up on Alexa. I will never.I remove my shirt and flung it across the room. I am still so aroused after what just happened in the dining area. It has gotten so bad that I now daydream of her now. I stopped pacing when I heard a knock at the door.I frown. Who is here at this time? I walked towards the door and flung it open.“Beta Ace,” a sultry feminine voice calls.“What are you doing here?” I ask with a frown.“I came to make you feel better as usual,” she says, running her fingers over my chest. Some ladies in the pack do this all the time, they come into my room at night to seduce me, but it's not as if I were complaining. I stared at her closely, I don't even remember her face or her name, but she came just at the right time. I'm still aroused and need release. I open the door wider, and she steps in with a smile.
