Hayley

I was shaken the entire morning, nearly falling on my face when I heard the news. The news had come at the crack of dawn and it had been Candice who had come to me to deliver the horrifying happenings.

Maya, the maid that had come to give me food last night but I had been too upset to even muster an appetite had been found dead this morning and the cause of death had been determined to be poisoning.

The worst part of the news had not even been that she had been poisoned. It had been that the last thing she had eaten was the meal that I had told her to eat in my stead, which meant that the original victim of the food poisoning was supposed to be me and that sweet girl had just paid the price and been collateral damage in my stead.

Who could have done this? Why did they do this? And how did they even get close to being able to poison food that was intended for the Luna to eat?

“I need to see her body,” I told Candice, throwing a gown over my body and marching to the infirmary

    DamonLost. That was how I had felt every day since the night that I had cheated on my beloved Hayley. I had hoped with all my heart that the one-night mistake would never come to light after it happened at that summit but it seemed the universe had other plans and Annie had fallen pregnant. I had to watch the light go out of my mate’s eyes when I broke the news to her and the days that had followed had been pure torture, watching her slowly become a shadow of herself and doubt herself, knowing that I was the cause of everything. I knew that I could not hide from my responsibility which was why I had to bring Annie with me and so far, I was happy that Annie seemed to understand the situation and was not asking for more than what I could give her. I had thought that after that ball, the bad days would slowly fade away as time went and that I would be able to slowly but steadily win Hayley’s trust back, but then something worse had even happened that left me at a loss for words and a

    HayleyThe murderer was still out at large. Even worse, the news of the truth that I was the actual person that was meant to be poisoned and not my dead maid had spread around the pack, despite Damon's decision to keep the news quiet while we hunted for the culprit. I had not agreed with him initially but seeing how people had reacted to the news immediately after it came out, made me realize just how little I was cherished by our pack members. Only a few of the high-ranking pack members were openly concerned and had reached out with their condolences, offering their support in catching the culprit. The others did not even act like they were bothered whether I lived or died and even one of them had made a joke about how I was saved thanks to my lack of gluttony. I really wanted to believe that even those who did not show their support for me openly after receiving the news were genuinely interested in helping us find the culprit but as the days went by, I grew even more skeptical,

    Damon"You asked to see me, Alpha?" "Indeed," I said to my beta, raising my head from the files that were currently scattered on my table. "How was your night out?" He said, raising his eyebrows with a small smile on his face and I fought the urge to smile as well but I couldn't. Not after what had happened last night with Hayley. When Candice had come to me, informing me about the latest rumor that had to circulate the pack. According to her, they were already saying that I would crack under the pressure and replace Hayley with Annie.I had been enraged, but the moment my sister had told me that Hayley had heard that rumor, my anger had turned to sorrow. I had done this to her and I couldn't even rush to her side to console her, for fear that she would send me away. I couldn't lie that it was not eating away at me that I could not sleep in the same room with her anymore and it seemed like with each passing day, my chances of getting her back were dimming. The light in her eyes h

    HayleyLingerie shopping. Yeah, scandalous I know. And That was why I didn't take Candice with me and just asked for a guard to escort me to go clothes shopping. I was feeling happier this particular morning because last night had been wonderful. Damon had slept over again and the sex was mind-blowing. It had to be some sort of way for us to try and get back the time that we had spent apart from each other that made us practically glued to the hip but I loved every moment of it. As a matter of fact, I looked forward to the evenings we spent together, having dinner with him and proceeding to take each other's clothes off at the speed of light. If anything, I was glad that I had accepted to go for that dinner with him that night. I loved him so much and even though the thought of Annie carrying his child still made me feel less than enough, I was counting on the fact that we loved each other to overcome this phase of our life. I couldn't stop thinking about the way Annie had looked

    HayleyIt felt like the world was spinning around me. It felt like I was about to fall even though I was currently sitting on the ground in my bedroom. It felt like everything was crashing down on me. It felt to me like I was losing my mind. The events of the entire day kept replaying in my head and I wondered how it had gone so wrong. One minute, I could not even wait to show Damon the lingerie that I had bought and laugh with Candice about finally being brave enough to even purchase something so scandalous, and the next minute I was being stopped by guards and accused by my husband and his mistress that I was trying to commit murder. A murder that I was sure I was being framed for because even though I had felt many things, the one thing that I had never thought of regarding this issue was how to kill Annie or the child she was expecting with Damon. Now I was on house arrest, with guards stationed outside the door to keep me from leaving, not knowing what was going to become of

    Hayley "Damon will take away your position as punishment for your crimes.As from today, you cease to be the Luna of the pack."My ears rang over and over again with those words as I was led away from the hall and when I locked eyes with Damon, I could see him looking at me, eyes filled with anguish. If I could laugh, I would have, considering that inside my head, I was screaming in pain. All of our good days flashed in my mind as they led me back to my room. From the first day we met to when he told me that I was his mate to our wedding and then our honeymoon and then to ruling the pack together like we had promised to do together, right to making sure that we looked out for each other like we had vowed to do at the altar to him going on that darned trip. Because it was that trip that had led me to this very moment right here. Somehow I had gone from being the woman that had been cheated on by her husband with another woman, to the woman that had attempted to kill her husband's m

    DamonI had no idea how things had gone from bad to worse all in a few days. One moment, I was happy and sure that Hayley and I were going to find our way back to each other and that we were going to come out of this scandal stronger than ever, and now this? I had refused to believe it, I didn’t even want to think about the possibility that Hayley was capable of trying to murder Annie and my unborn child, but the evidence was too overwhelming. In fact, she was the only one that stood to gain the most from Annie’s demise because it would mean that she would no longer have a rival who would struggle for her position as Luna. No one would question for her to be replaced and it would be as if I had never even cheated because there would be no evidence of it. No Annie. No child. As much as everything sounded exactly like that and pointed to Hayley as the culprit, every night when I went to bed, I asked myself if there was even a one percent chance that all of this was just a big mistake.

    HayleySlowly, I opened my eyes to familiar surroundings and the face of the pack doctor that personally treated me, Dr Flora staring down at me and she heaved a sigh of relief as I blinked slowly. “You scared us Luna.” She said and that was when I finally remembered what had happened before I passed out. I had gone to tell Damon that I wanted to reject him, putting on my best nonchalant act as I exited the room only to go and throw up and cry in the comfort of my bedroom because the last thing I wanted to do, was to break our bond. But there was no reason to be with someone who thought I was a murderer and had stopped even looking for who might be the actual culprit, choosing to believe strangers over me. Damon had said that he loved me but after everything that had happened, up to the rejection ritual that he had agreed to set immediately instead of even trying to hold on to me and reassure me that he didn’t think I was a killer, showed that perhaps he didn’t love me like he said

    Epilogue It had been a week since Hayley passed out, the exact time the war came to an end. In a rage, Damon had strangled Gazel, going as much as killing by snapping off his head. From the onset, it was not part of his plan to kill Gazel even as he had agreed to a duel. He was hoping that Gazel could be imprisoned at least, and given some time to amend his ways. But after seeing what Hayley had to go through, he could not bear it. The wolf that had shot at Hayley was also caught by Alex, and he and all of Gazel’s other warriors were imprisoned. “Is she up yet, Daddy?” Adriel who had just met Damon coming out of Hayley’s room asked, and disappointed, he shook his head. “Not yet.”Adriella who was walking some distance away from Adriel heard their conversation, and sad, she ran to her room. She had been trying her best to be calm about everything for the past week. But it was killing to know that her mother was still unconscious from the attack. The best doctors had attended to

    HayleyAfter further investigation, we discovered that the message hadn't been about Gazel and Damon, but between Alpha Mathews and Gazel. Since I had reported about the coup d'état and not the war, the council had responded to the coup. I felt bad for what Alpha Mathews was going through, but all I could do was sympathize with him. There was nothing we could do from now onwards, and only a duel between Alpha Mathews and Gazel could settle the conflict. The winner would become the alpha, and the loser would be tossed in the dungeon. The council would have punished Gazel for the coup d'état, but because Alpha Mathews had made a public announcement denouncing his claim to the leadership of the pack, the council could no longer do anything about the coup. It might have been forced at the beginning, but Alpha Mathews' speech and handover had covered up for Gazel's crime. Gazel was a trickster, and that much was known. He was a man who thought ahead, and that was exactly what made him ve

    Damon I steadied my footing, and with a powerful swipe of my claw decapitated three opponents at once. These men were weak, a lot more weaker than I had anticipated, but they were definitely larger in numbers. I was yet to spot Gazel, and not seeing in front of the army made my fears return once more. I knew Gazel was a cunning man, but I hadn't expected him to be a hypocrite as well. Leaping to the side, I let out a loud howl before chowing down on a smaller Wolf's head. It let out a stifled cry before I tossed it into the body of its comrades. I had been taking things easy at first because I wanted to believe that they were under mind control. But that mistake had cost me during the earlier stages of the war. Now, I was going on full throttle, and I was willing to take down any opponent that crossed my path with full force. If pitied, these men were going to destroy the entirety of my kingdom, and that was not a sacrifice I was willing to make. I tackled a young wolf and slammed

    Hayley"The walls have been breached!" A guard yelled out and my heart immediately sank to the stomach. It was just as Damon had predicted, Gazel had sent some of his men to attack the pack. "Archers fire!" Another order was yelled and soon flaming arrows were being rained on the invading enemies. "You shouldn't be out here, my lady. It's best to remain underground where it's safe. Damon would never forgive me if I let anything happen to you." Liam urged while doing his best to make me follow him into the underground chambers that had been prepared in case of this situation. "No, I'm the Luna, and I will not cower in fear in the face of my enemies. If they think Damon is the only person they should be afraid of, then they are heavily mistaken. I am a mother and a leader, and I'll do anything to make sure that no harm comes to my children and subjects." I made it clear to Liam. He watched me in awe, and I was sure the idea of me being a weakling disappeared from his thoughts. "What

    Damon "I won't stay back Damon! I'm marching to the war front with you!" Liam opposed. I had just ordered that he remained at the pack to take care of things while we were at war. I had barely finished when he began to yell out his own opinion. It was the first time Liam was speaking to me without any sense of formality in his voice and character. It was obvious he wasn't going to let me go, not while he wasn't part of my troops. "You have to be here, you're the only one I can trust with Hayley and the children's lives. Alex will be with you, please do this for me." I pleaded rather than order. At this point it was obvious Liam wasn't speaking to me as my beta, but as a friend who wanted to support their friend at all cost. He wouldn't obey orders even if I gave him one, the only way I could possibly get to him was by exploiting his kind heart. "You need me by your side, in stronger than all of them—" "And that's exactly why I want you here. If Gazel has men ambushing the pack, I

    Damon"We've managed to camp a few kilometers from Wolfsbane field. The soldiers can begin their march now." Liam informed me. I stared at him for a while before giving him a reassuring smile. I could see the fear and concern in his eyes, and even though he fought hard to hide it, it was as bright as day. "There's no need to hide your fear, Liam. I feel the same way, and I'm sure everybody else does. It would be foolish to be happy and unbothered during the times of war." I said before giving him a pat on the back. "You've done well with preparing everybody, you should take some time to rest. I'll handle everything from here onwards." Liam shook his head fervently in disagreement. "I can't rest, not when there's much to do. Gazel is marching here with an army by his side. We need all the help we can get. I'm not exhausted yet, I'll continue to help in any way I can." He argued. "If you exhaust all your energy now, then you'd be useless when the need comes. I know you want to do mor

    Gazel"What do we do about those two? Isn't this bad? Those two could spill all our plans to the enemy." Frederick said in a frantic tone. He was fidgeting in both fear and rage, and his reaction was completely understandable. Lisa had just escaped, and alongside her was a spy I never noticed early enough to dispose. I had to give Tim props, he had been extra careful, and was without a doubt the most dangerous man to me at the moment. I had no idea how much he knew, and there was no telling how much he had stolen. If he exposed much about my plans to Damon, I was sure to fail, but regardless I didn't halt the preparations for war. "Aren't you going to do something? They might have valuable information." Frederick asked with an inquisitive look in his eyes. "There's nothing we can do at the moment. Those two would have probably reached Damon's pack by now. Chasing after them is meaningless at the moment. Focus on getting more men into our troops and forget about those two." I instru

    DamonThere was no denying the fear that crept into my heart each time I remembered that I was going to war. I was confident that we would win, but there was no predicting or preventing casualties in war. If I could do anything to prevent it, I definitely would have done it, but that was impossible when Gazel was involved. He was determined to bring me down at all cost, and he had made that fact abundantly clear. He was out for blood, and I too wanted to match his energy. There was no way I was going to let him have his way and do anything he wanted, especially not when it had something to do with Hayley. "Have the walls been fortified? Any reports of ambushes?" I questioned one of the guards that walked with me as I inspected the preparations being made for the incoming war. We had received reports from one of our scouts that Gazel would be marching north with an army of twenty thousand in two days. If we began our match on the same day, our armies would meet on the fields of Wolfs

    DamonIt was tough to get everything out of my mind, but with Hayley and the children's help, I've been able to keep my mind off the things that threatened my mental stability. We were yet to hear from Tim, but I didn't let it bother me anymore. Thanks to Hayley's help, I was convinced that he was doing alright, and I wanted to trust in her words more than my fears. "Dad, when will you take us horse riding?" Adriella asked as she brushed the hair of her doll. She had been watching a lot of horse riding shows with her mother and now she wanted to try out the sport for herself. "Once you're old enough to ride a horse." I answered softly before rubbing her head gently. The little girl pouted her mouth in disappointment, but I gave her a smile to comfort her a little. There was too much going on, the last thing I wanted on the long list of troubles was a crying child. "How are their lessons going?" I asked Hayley who was helping Adriel with his assignment. "It's been going smoothly, t
