Chapter 60Alexa's POV“You came,” Amelie says with a forced smile, staring at my appearance.“Of course, I would come. Did you expect me not to?” I reply with a smile, sitting elegantly and arranging some of my rings. I glance at all their dumbfounded expressions. If they think I was going to stay crawled up in my room and bawl my eyes out, they are all in for the shock of their lives. But I didn't have this much courage earlier.After the Alpha came, I found a distraction for the pack members and quickly slipped away. I ran into my room sobbing. “Luna,” I heard Kira's worried voice. I quickly wipe my tears with my palms. I know my eyes are probably all puffy right now.“What are you doing here?” I ask in a hoarse voice, walking towards my bed.“I came to clean up your room. Are you okay?” she asks worriedly.“I'm fine, do what you have to do. Don't mind me,” I reply, laying down and covering my face with the blanket. I sob quietly. She sighed and continued with her work.“Luna,” sh
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
EpilogueOnce there was a prosperous and flourishing pack led by two brothers. Brothers were so powerful that they were feared and envied by many. Envy, jealousy, and betrayal got in between these two brothers that they both died, leaving this once thriving and envied pack in nothing but utter darkness.Alexa watches with cold and determined eyes as Ace's blood slowly drains out of his body and he breathed his last. She falls on the bed, mentally exhausted as she stares at her bloody and trembling hands. She takes a look at his limp and unmoving body. The amount of damage he had done to her and the sins he had committed against her in the name of love was just too much. She felt like a shackled slave whenever she was with him. His love was obsessive and toxic, Draining her of every ounce of strength she once had. She had no peace of mind, whenever she slept, she would keep getting haunted by the faces of everyone he had killed because of her.She fought as best as she could to get a
Chapter 126Ace's POVAlexa's painful screams echoed across the corridor. I paced around, running my hands through my hair out of frustration. Alexa has been in labor for the past one hour. I had brought the best midwives from different packs hoping that would help her deliver faster and easier, but her cries and screams told me otherwise.A midwife runs out of the room with her hands covered in blood. I started to panic out of fear.“Alpha, we need more hot water and towels,” she said hurriedly. I quickly turn around to the maids behind me.“You heard what she said, get it right away!” I bark at them and they scurry away. The midwife tries to go back in, but I step in front of her.“What is going on? Is she okay?” I asked worriedly.“We can't say for now Alpha, the matter is complicated, but we will try our best to make sure the mother and child are okay,” she said.“Ahhhhhhhh!” Alexa screams out in pain again. “Let me in. I want to see her,” I said to her. She shakes her head.“I'm
Chapter 125Alexa's POVEight months laterI sit close to the window, staring into space as I gently rub my now obvious baby bump. My life passed by like a blur, so much time has passed, yet I feel like I'm still stuck in the same place. This is my life now, a life full of misery and pain.I wipe the tears that are falling down my cheeks with my hands as I sniffle. I can't remember the last time I smiled or laughed. To me, laughing is a luxury I just can't afford anymore. And it's not just me, everyone in the pack house moves around like living corpses. The pack house is now nothing but a shadow of its former self. We are all just pushing and fighting our way forward. There's something missing- a huge gap in everyone's heart that I'm not sure can be filled any longer. His name is still on the lips of everyone, but nobody dared to say it out loud for fear of what might happen to them.When I walk in the corridor, nobody dared to look at me or talk to me anymore for fear of incurring Ac
Chapter 124Two years later,Ace's POVTerror, dread, and fearThat is all I could see in the faces and actions of the pack members I met on the corridor. They all bow their heads, shivering from fright, as I walk down the corridor. The sound of my heels clicking on the floor as I walk is the only sound that can be heard. My expression is cold, hard, and stoic as I walk. They didn't dare raise their faces to meet mine.It's been two years since I helped Alexa take back her pack from her uncle, yet she hasn't spoken much to me since then. I thought that would make her happy and clear up all these misunderstandings between us, but it turned out to be the exact opposite.She's now a shadow of her former self. She doesn't speak or eat much anymore. She just stays in our chambers and cries all day. I tried everything to make her happy. I bought her a gift, and I took her out. I did everything, but she still does not look happy.But it's fine. As long as she's with me, we will be fine togeth
Chapter 123Alexa's POVStaring back at the house that has given me so many memories. I don't know what to feel or how to react. Memories edged deep within me that I will never be able to forget. Greywood pack house. The place where I was born and raised. A place filled with love, laughter, pain, misery and the worst of all- betrayal. "Shall we?" Ace asks trying to take my hand. I grab my dress instead and walk away from him towards the house. He follows behind me with his guards. We all walk in and waited in the living room. My hands gently touch the sofa and the walls. I hardly recognize this place, it looks totally different from how it used to be. Uncle Gaius had totally changed the whole place."Alpha Ace," I hear the voice of the man that his betrayal is deeply rooted within me. The start of my miseries and misfortunes."And who might this young lady be?" he asks. My back is turned towards him so he could not see my face."Nice renovation uncle," I said turning towards him. His
Chapter 122Ace's POVIt is dark in my office, and that is what I want—darkness. I revel in it. I find it soothing. It held nothing, just silence and the occasional swirling of my glass. Closing my eyes, I lean back into my chair with a sigh.Immediately, the face of my love flashes before my eyes, and a smile tugs at my lips."Alexa, my sweet Lexa," I mumble, feeling so happy. I won, and she is officially mine now in every sense. Her body, her soul, and her heart Everything belongs to me now.I never thought I could love someone to this extent and get married someday. I always thought I would live my life with one purpose: pleasure. But then Alexa came along and turned my world and everything I believed in upside down. I feel complete whenever I'm around her.I don't feel remorse, guilt, or empathy for any reason. I don't regret any single thing I've done or how I did it to get where I am today. I and Alexa are going to live together forever as a family, and anyone who tries to get i
Chapter 121Alexa's POV“I will never be your Luna, no matter what you do to me. I am a free person and I have the right to make my own decisions. I will never accept this!” I shriek expecting him to yell or scream at me but to my horror, he bursts into a fit of laughter. I gazed at him skeptically, wondering if he didn't hear me very well.“My sweet sweet Lexa,” he smiles, cupping my chin. “You became mine, the second I laid my eyes on you. You don't know how elated I felt when I saw you for the first time standing in the garden as the wind whipped your hair around. My fingers twitched to run my hands through your hair,” he asserts, touching my hair. I swat his hand away.“Do not touch me or else…,” I threaten, my eyes blazing with fury.“I fucking love the fire burning like embers in your hazel eyes right now,” he smirks, coming within close proximity to me. Before I could move, he pulls me closer to him and whispers in my ear, “I can't wait for every part of you to become mine comp
Chapter 120Alexa's POV“You know me very well, Ace, and I will never side with you,” the Chief replies angrily.Ace lets out a bone-chilling, creepy laugh. “I knew you would say that, and you are far too useful to end up dead. I won't kill you, but by the time I'm done with you, you will pray for death instead,” he threatens.“What is that supposed to mean?” the Chief asks incredulously.“Carol and Leon. Maybe I should go play with them a bit. What do you think?” he asks, tilting his head thoughtfully. The Chief's face fell.“You are going to use my family as leverage just to make sure I agree to your demands?” he mutters in disbelief.“You left me no other choice. Either you accept to continue being the Chief and your family lives, or you reject, your family dies, and you will continue being Chief,” he shrugs nonchalantly.“You are a psychopath!” he utters with disdain.“I hear that often. So, what is it going to be? Answer me quickly. I don't have all day,” he said impatiently. I
Chapter 119Alexa's POV“A…alpha who?” I stutter nervously.“Alpha Ace,” she repeats.“How? Since when?” I croak out, confused. The last time I remembered, I was on the battlefield. How did I get here and when did Ace become the new Alpha?She stares at my confused state, pitifully.“He was crowned a week ago, while you were unconscious,” she said.I gulped and forced myself to ask the question I'd been dreading the answer to since I woke up. “W…hat about Alpha Kai?” I ask, holding my breath in anticipation. Please tell me that he is alive, and I was just having a bad dream.She sighs. “Alpha Kai died on the battlefield. He has been buried,” she replies. I grip my dress tightly, letting out a shaky breath that I've been holding. My throat clogs and throbs painfully as reality dawns on me. My eyes brim with tears. “He's dead. He's really gone forever,” I mumble as I burst into tears. I can literally see my life crashing before me like a pack of cards. I placed my head on my thighs and
