CHAPTER SIXTY ~BLACK_BLOOD PACK~EDWINI was going through some documents in my office. A few things seemed to be going wrong, but I couldn't place a finger on what it was. Alpha Adrian of the Black Moon pack had sent in a few goods the previous week, but I couldn't find the record on my system. I had personally recorded the goods, so someone must have tampered with my record and deleted them.I picked up my phone and made a call to Alpha Adrian. He didn't pick up until the call disconnected. I sighed and tried again. His line was busy when I called again. "Damn it!!" I cursed as I dropped the phone on the table. Immediately I dropped the phone, it beeped. I picked it up anxiously, expecting a message from Alpha Adrian. I picked up my phone and unlocked it to see a message from an unknown number. I quickly dropped the phone when I saw the message. I widened my eyes and dropped my phone. I wiped my eyes and stared at the message again. I wondered who was messing with me this way.
CHAPTER SIXTY ONERIVER I was seated in my office with my hands placed on my jaw. I was contemplating a lot of things when I heard a soft knock on the door. I lifted my head to look at the door, and it opened gently.Harrison walked into the office and greeted me. "The meeting with the council is about to start," he informed me. "The elders in the council are already gathered at the throne room.""I'll be right behind you," I told him. He began walking out of the office while I walked behind him. When we got to the throne room, it was already filled up by the elders. I took my seat as the meeting was already about to start. "Welcome, alpha Ethan, " the elders greeted me. "Greetings to you all," I responded. The meeting soon started. With the eldest among other elders leading the meeting. "Why does it seem as though no one has seen the construction of the black blood pack?" The eldest among the elders asked. "They trespassed into our property, and no one is saying anything abo
CHAPTER SIXTY-TWOLISA I and Ella walk out of the room together. After we are done helping with choosing a few things for the birthday. As we strolled towards our room, Ella began to speak evil about Elara. "I've always hated her from the first time I set eyes on her. I always knew she was up to no good," she said and let out a long hiss. "You bother so much about that imp," I said and hissed. "Elara is someone that would be gone before you even blink your eyes.""I hope that you will do something about her quickly. I want her out of my life and out of my brother's life."A smirk appeared on my face as she spoke the words with so much bitterness in her voice. Even her face reeked of bitterness and hatred for Elara. It was hard to tell if Ella hated Elara more, or if I did. We continued towards the room as Ella continued to complain bitterly about Elara. "You don't have to bother yourself so much about that woman. She would be history soon," I paused and grinned to the corner of m
CHAPTER SIXTY-THREEELARA"Your make-up is done ma," my make-up artist informed me. I smiled as I stood up from my chair. I faced the standing mirror with a smile on my face. The way my makeup artist styled my hair and packed it. It made me look very beautiful. I even found it difficult to believe that I was the one in front of the mirror. I looked so beautiful in my hairstyle and makeup. I was smiling broadly in front of the mirror when the door opened. I looked towards the door and saw River walking into the room. River paused by the door, staring at me with his eyes and mouth wide open. I smiled even more, feeling a bit flushed. "You look so beautiful!" He complimented. I couldn't help it. My cheeks flushed red immediately when he said the compliment. He walked towards me and stretched his arm towards me. I locked mine with him, and we proceeded out of the room. I and River walked together to the party hall, our arms still locked tightly together. Immediately when we entered
CHAPTER SIXTY-FOURELARASeeing Lisa's reaction made me feel fulfilled. At least, I knew that she was mad and embarrassed.She raised her head and looked me straight in the eyes."Be careful, pretty Elara. You might not know when I would hit you hard," she said, with a smirk on her lips. Before I could react to it, she walked out on me. I stared at her for a while before letting out a wide smile. She must have thought that she was smart. I scoffed as I sat back in my chair."Was that necessary?" River asked me immediately when I sat down. I didn't reply to him. I only kept my gaze fixed on Lisa as she returned to her sitting spot. Ella was all over the place, greeting people and trying to get things done around the hall. The ceremony progressed and could see smiles on everyone's faces. They seemed to have forgotten the little drama and were all now in the mood to party hard."Elara," River called, turning to face me. I faced him with a questioning glare. He cleared his throat bef
CHAPTER SIXTY FIVELISAI was excited as I watched Elara drinking the drugged juice. If only she knew what awaited her after she was done with the drink. I was sure she was smiling because of the embarrassment she caused me. If only she knew that her embarrassment would be worse than mine. It would only be a matter of time. While I was thinking about all of this. I began to feel hot under. I began to feel dizzy as well and a little itchy. I didn't know when and how I stood up from the chair where I was sitting and walked out of the hall. I found myself in a room in the pack house. I didn't know any of the men in the room. I didn't even understand my system anymore. I just knew that I badly needed to quench the fire I was feeling under. I grabbed one of the men and pushed him to the bed. I began to ride him at a fast pace. There were three men in the room, and they took turns to have sex with me. I didn't know where I was pr what I was doing. All I knew was that I was having fun an
CHAPTER SIXTY-SIXELARA I walked back to my room with a victorious smile on my face. Now we know who later took the juice that was the drug. Remembering how Lisa left the hall while scratching her body. I saw the uneasiness on her face. The look in her eyes when she saw River. It must have been so much for her to take. The disgrace must have been unbearable. Immediately when I opened the door and walked into the room. I saw River pacing the room angrily. I stepped into the room and locked the door. When River heard the door close, he turned around with anger in his eyes. "You are finally here," he said, his voice a little raised. I narrowed my eyes in confusion. What did he mean by I was finally here? Where would I be? Would I remain outside forever?"What is the matter?" I asked him in a calm tone. "Why did you do that to Lisa?" He demanded in a harsh tone. "Do what to Lisa?" I asked. I could tell that he was talking about what happened back there. But I was shocked that he
CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN LISAI lay helplessly on my bed, feeling completely drained. I had cried so much, yet the tears wouldn't stop falling out freely from my eyes. I still couldn't believe what happened. It was draining. Everyone who saw me there must think I was a whore. River, too was there. He would think I was some cheap prostitute. He'd think I intentionally slept with the men. He didn't even believe that Elara did it. The thought of the whole issue tore me in shreds. It made my heart break every single time I think about it. "Lisa, you have to calm down," Ella said, tapping my chin. "You can't continue like this."I shook my head and continued crying. Ella had been sitting by my side the whole time, trying to console me. All her efforts proved abortive. I didn't think it would take just that to get over everything."Just let me be," I said blatantly. "You can't continue crying. You may fall sick. ""I don't care."I kept crying and wishing Elara all the evil in this life. I
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVE RIVER I walked behind the soldiers with Elara in my arms. She had a glowing smile all over her face. I was smiling, too, because I was proud of Elara. She carried out her plans within a very short while, and it was successful. Constance and Edwin were moved to the pack field where they would be stoned to death. "Do you want to watch them die?" I asked her. She shook her head. "I'll only watch them get burnt," she replied. "At least, I wouldn't have to hear them screaming and calling me to forgive." I nodded in agreement with what Elara had said. "Where's Harrison?" She asked me. I turned to her. I wondered why she asked me about Harrison. "He told me what happened," she said to me. "Why didn't you let him explain?" "He stole from the pack," I informed her. "What is there to explain?" Elara slapped her forehead. "I was secretly replacing it from here," she whispered. My eyes widened. "I bet he didn't tell you t
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR CONSTANCEI was shocked about the fact that Oma called me sister, but of course, that wasn't the main issue. I shoved it aside and hurried to meet Edwin, who was still seated in his chair. "What happened here?" I asked him. He stared at me for a while. He was rolling his eyes continuously. I suspected that he was going to lose consciousness if nothing was done. I walked over to him and placed my hand around his head."Why did she call me sister? What is going on?" Edwin began to narrate his conversation with Oma to me. He told me how she was Annalise and that was why she called me sister. I scoffed. "You and I know that this is impossible, right?" I asked him. "We killed Annalise. There's no way she would be alive."Edwin was about to speak again when he finally lost consciousness. I rushed outside and called the guards to carry him to the room. I placed a wet towel on his forehead and massaged his feet until he was finally well. "Where is O
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THREEELARAIt's been up to two days since the plan. I decided to begin the execution. I walked towards the court lady. She was standing in the garden and giving out instructions to the gardeners. "Greetings to you," I greeted her. She turned around and pushed her nose when she saw me. I was aware of the fact that she disliked me. A lot of maids seemed not to like me. They had this unexplainable hatred for me. "What do you want?" She demanded. "I need to get something from the closest supermarket, " I informed her. She looked at me from my head to my toe and up to my heart again. "You can go," she replied grudgingly. "Thank you," I appreciated and walked away from her. I walked towards the gate, and everyone seemed to be keeping tabs on me. I knew I needed to act as fast as I could. I didn't want to get blown up before I even knew it. I walked out of the gate and took a cab to a pharmacy far from the pack house. I looked around the place, ma
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY ONE RED BREEDER PACK ELLA"You have to force yourself and eat something," I told River. "Punishing yourself like this would not work."He didn't respond. He just kept staring into space. I didn't see Harrison this morning, and it seemed like River was worried about scenting. I shoved it aside. He was probably worried about the pack. The maids had come to report to me earlier that River had refused to eat, so I came all the way to force him. Although, I already had plans to check on my elder brother and know how he was doing. My phone began to vibrate. I dipped my hand in my pocket and brought out my phone. It was the guard I sent after Elara. I turned to River, who was still staring into space. He didn't seem to notice that I got a call, so I was relieved."I will be right back," I told River. I stood up and walked away from the room. I stood in the hallway and picked up the call. "Anything new?" I asked the guy. "Elara has a mission in this pa
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTYELARA After all the talking and hugging and all. It was finally time for Lucy and I to dress the bed and get some rest.I pulled out the blanket, and a note fell off the bed. I immediately bent down to pick up the note, and an envelope was with it. I was a little surprised. I turned to Lucy, and she raised and lifted her hands in a questioning manner. I picked up the envelope and note and placed the note on the bed first. I opened the envelope. It was a picture of Edwin and Constance pushing me into the river.I scoffed. How did this picture get here? It was a picture of when I was murdered as Annalise, and whoever took this picture and placed it on this bed today knows my true identity.Lucy moved closer to me, and I handed the picture over to her. She breathed in heavily and took it from me. She gasped when she saw the content. I picked up the paper on the bed and decided to see for myself what was written in the note. I opened it up, and my han
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINEEDWIN I let out a smirk after the maid walked out of my office. There was something fishy about her, and she was foolish to think that I wouldn't know. Maybe I appeared dumb to her. An alpha of a whole pack. "You can leave," I waved off my servants, and they all walked away from my office. I placed both legs on my table and leaned backward with my finger on my chin. "That stupid little rat would think that she outsmarted me."I scoffed. I knew she was hiding something. She was only using her mom's illness as an excuse to perpetrate evil, and I would expose her soon. Whatever she was planning, although I didn't know it yet I was sure that she was up to some mischief. I would kill her very soon. I'd do that before she accomplishes whatever her mission was in this pack. The door opened, and Clinton walked in with a smile all over his face. "We were victorious this time," he announced excitedly. My eyes went wide in shock. "How do you mean?"
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHTRIVERIt wasn't long after Elara walked out of the room, and Ella walked in. "You are awake!" She exclaimed and gasped. She rushed to me and hugged me tightly. She stayed with me for a while before pulling away from the hug. "I'll get the doctor," she told me. "The nurse already came to check on me," I stopped her. She sighed and sat on the chair in front of me. "How are you feeling right now?" She asked me.I nodded. "I feel better."She smiled. Ella held my hands and stared at me for a while. I haven't been like that with her in a while now. I wasn't too close with Ella. I missed her when she was away, and I only got to love her from afar. We never really showed or told each other how much we loved each other. But I knew deep down that the love was there. I was also aware of the fact that Ella loved me too and that she always meant well to me. She suddenly paused and sniffed. She looked around the room and continued to sniff in. "Are y
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVENELARABefore I could say or do anything, the guards dragged me and began pulling me away. My heart skipped, but I tried to stay calm. I didn't want to show any signs of weakness or panic, or else they'd say I did something wrong. I had to play smart and pretend to be innocent. "What have I done?" I asked them. "Why are you seizing me, and where are you taking me?"None of them gave me any replies. They kept pulling me forcefully. I noticed that we were headed towards Edwin's office. My heartbeat increased, but I tried to control it. I didn't want to be overly nervous. "I didn't do anything wrong, let me go."They formed deaf ears to everything I said. I struggled with them for a while and stopped struggling when I realized that I wouldn't be able to free myself from their grip. They carried me into Edwin's office and released me once I was standing in front of him. I quickly began to rehearse in my heart, what I would say to Edwin. "Where ar
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIX ELARAI watched River as he slowly opened his eyes. I gasped for joy and hugged him. I wrapped my arm around his neck. He quickly grabbed my hands and pulled me off gently. "I'm so sorry," I apologized. "I was just too excited that you are awake."My heart beat fast for joy. I couldn't explain the excitement I felt about the fact that River was awake. "I'm so happy that you're awake!" I told him. "I can not die easily," River told me with a smile. "It would take a lifetime to kill me."I smiled. I stood up to my feet and wiped my knees. "I would get the doctor to check on you," I told River. I didn't wait for him to respond or react, I just began to run towards the door. I stopped abruptly when I got to the door and turned around. I shouldn't let anyone know that I was here. Not even the doctors of the red breeder pack. I turned to River, and he gave me the "see?" Look. I smiled. I didn't think about that earlier. I was completely carried a
