Chapter 58Alexa's POVLast night was so hectic for me. I could not come out of my room or go anywhere because, apparently, the Alpha told everyone I was sick and could not make it to the ceremony. I had stayed in my room all night, reading and trying to get my mind off everything that was going on outside.I woke up this morning trying to push through and overcome all odds because that's what I have always done, and it's nothing new. I got ready on my own and headed outside. When I got outside my room, I noticed the way people were staring at me and murmuring to each other. It's making me feel quite uncomfortable. Different thoughts start running through my mind.Why are they staring at me this way? Is it because I didn't hold the ceremony together with the Alpha yesterday? Although not hosting the ceremony should not cause this much unrest since the Alpha already told them I was sick. Were they not supposed to greet me and ask about my health?I noticed that when I got to a tight co
Chapter 59Alpha Kai's POVAlexa gazes at me with a shocked expression. Did she expect me to say that I didn't know about it? Even if I hate her, I will never put all the blame on her when I was also a part of it.“W…what? You did?” Amelie stutters in a shocked tone.“Of course,” I reply, and the whispering continues.I had been in my office when Rebecca ran in and informed me about what was happening. I wondered how the rumors got out. I hurried out of my office and met with this situation. Alexa stood with her head bowed, not saying anything while everyone else pointed accusing fingers at her.“You are lying, right? Stop trying to protect her. Everyone knows exactly who she really is now,” Amelie insists, holding onto my arm. Alexa walks away towards her room hurriedly.“Hey, where do you think you are going? You have to give us answers,” Amelie screams after Alexa.“Let her go,” I said to her. “Everyone, you can all leave now,” I ordered and they all reluctantly left. I guess I wil
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
