CHAPTER 5

Livia's POV:

“Long live Alpha Xandro!” the warriors voice sounded bringing me back from my thoughts.

“Alpha? Are they blind to have crowned this man as Alpha?” I could sense his powers and his ranking isn't up to some of the warriors present here, he has such a weak demeanor, something must be wrong.

“Who's the white haired lady?” Asked Luna Lysandra.

“We brought her back as a captive from the Rogues pack we conquered,” answered Beta Cedric signaling to the warrior holding me to put me down.

“I don't think we have a use for such thing around here,” she said, referring to me.

I was placed down by the warrior but I couldn't stand as my legs felt wobbly from being carried all night. I fell to the floor and immediately bowed my head avoiding any form of eye contact.

“She's pretty, I like her, she might be useful,” Alpha Xandro said in a tone as if asking for her permission. “We might use an extra helping hand around here.”

“Damn this pervert!” I cursed silently. If Luna Lysandra had discovered I had no use here maybe she might have ordered for me to be released, he's just spoiling things for me

“Kalliope! Kalliope! Luna Lysandra called out.

A woman who seemed to be in her early fifties came running out, she was average in height, her silk black hair were packed in a bun to avoid them from falling over her shoulders, she had beautiful sky blue eyes, women rarely posses blue eyes because they don't go out to hunt or kill making me curiuos about the history behind these pair of blue eyes smiling at me now.

“Kalliope, do we have space for one extra maid?” Luna Lysandra asked looking down at me with disgust.

“We certainly do Luna Lysandra” Kalliope replied.

“Good, take this thing out of my sight and arrange one of the maids' uniforms for her. Cedric come with me and tell me how the invasion went,” she gave her orders and walked out of the room, Beta Cedric tailing behind her.

“Come on my child, let me fix you something to eat” madam Kalliope smiled down at me.

I could feel the warmth of her smile as I couldn't help but smile back, the worms in my stomach barked reminding me I haven't eaten since yesterday and only the blueberries I took sustained me till this time as dinner was cut short by the attack.

I followed her as she led me to the kitchen, there she served me a hot bowl of soup, my appetite grew on seeing this as I started to rush my meal. I couldn't remember the last time I ate something as delicious as this.

If it were to be my Rogues pack, the bowl of soup in front of me would have been used to feed thirty people as the soup would be filled with water, we had little ingredients back there.

I suddenly started coughing as I choked on my food.

“Slow down child, we have more than enough for everyone, she assured me as if she could hear my thoughts.

I nodded as I continued to eat, I needed to have the strength to escape from here tonight. I brought the bowl up to my mouth as I gulped down the remaining of it's content, my stomach was heavy as I was filled with a great sense of satisfaction.

I thanked madam Kalliope for the food as she showed me to my mom and helped me prepare a bath. This room is a mansion compared to my room at the Rogue's pack, but I still miss the cozy feeling.

I walked into the bathroom as the mist created from the hotness of the water in the bath tube engulfed me, I pulled my dress wincing as I bent down to pull the remains of my dress, my bones were stiff, my body was weak as I entered into the bath, the hot water stinging my legs as I noticed my bruises from last night were already healed.

It is also part of my gift from the moon goddess to regenerate lost skin cells faster than an average warewolf. I sank into the hot water enjoying it's stings as I let it rid my body and hair of it's dirtiness.

I stepped out of the bathroom to meet a pair of new maids' uniforms lying on the bed beside the dresser, courtesy of madam Kalliope. I quickly got dressed as the sun was already going down.By moonlight, I'll execute my plan!

Lucius’ POV:

I sat down gazing at the moon as I paid no attention to my surroundings, my mind going back to the previous morning when my wolf called out to me telling me he could sense my mate around.

“Mate?” I've been living here amongst the Crescent pack for 4 years now, since I was 22 and Lan never sensed my mate. I argued within myself, pausing my training to look at the warriors who were just arriving from their mission.

“There, there she is!” Lan called out as I sighted the hostage the warriors came in with. “Go help her!”

“Help?” I retorted mockingly, such lady can never be my mate. “A weak mate who couldn't defend herself talk more of her pack can never be my mate, I could go help her but she isn't worth the risk of exposing my powers to the rest of the pack thereby spoiling my plans.”

She suddenly raised her head like she could sense me as she turned to catch my gaze, our eyes locked with each other.

“Emerald eyes?” Wolves do not possess such color of eyes as the women were commonly seen with yellowish eyes, her hair's silvery white hair like that of the moon.

Well I couldn't care less as I wouldn't allow a lowly girl who play no important role in my life come in between me and executing my plan.

“But she's our mate!” Lan cried out.

I turned my back to continue my training, ignoring Lan.

But as I lay here tonight in my wolf form, I can't help but think of her as I look at the moon reminding me of her white hair which complemented her milk colored skin, her emerald eyes like that of nature holding so much grief and sadness in them, I shook my head as I tried to get rid of these thoughts.

I only come here on evenings like this to reminisce on my plans and think of how to exact my revenge not to think of some weakling girl who's unfortunate to be captured by these cowards who call themselves warriors but can't defend their rights on who they want as leader.

I was brought back from my thoughts as I felt the presence of someone in the woods, the bushes were shaking but there was no wind.

I clearly made out a figure of a woman trying to get through the thick bushes thanks to my red eyes which provided me with night vision, my eyes wide in shock as she made her way through the bushes and the moonlight reflected on her face!
