Chapter 35 Derek froze for a minute because of the initial fear he had for his father, Alpha Gregor but then shrugged it off and was still about to make a move when Alpha Gregor said to him and this time his voice sounded almost like his normal self. “There is going to be a full moon coming up at the Lycan Triplets where your sister is and it is a tradition for all Alphas and their family to be in attendance. The earlier you start acting like an actual Alpha the better for you because I won't even blink an eye before ripping that title from you and handing it over to someone else,” Derek laughed and looked at his Father in disbelief and asked him, “Who else do you think is worthy of carrying on your legacy if not me? You should be thanking me instead of throwing threats at me?”. Derek scoffed as he sat back in his chair. “It is obvious to me you are not mature enough to hold such a title and if I do hand over my kingdom, my pack, my clan to you you would end up putting it into rui
Chapter 36 Two Concubines sat together in a room. They were Alexa and Rosaline who were both Damien's concubine and pure-blooded werewolves. They were both in Alexia’s room and Rosaline was braiding Alexa’s hair. “You are prepared for the fight against the breeder right?” Rosaline asked as she cut a straight line with a tooth-mouthed comb on Alexa’s hair. “I know I am but I am scared for her,” Alexa said, sighing. “You are scared for Anastasia?” Rosaline asked almost in a mocking tone. “I have watched her train a few times. I don't think she is even ready to fight at all or maybe she could fight someone but not me,” Alexa told Rosaline. “Then you should be happy that would earn you the Luna privilege and right,” Rosaline stated swiftly, wondering why it seemed as though Alexa felt bad for Anastasia. “I did think about that also it would be a great privilege and an added advantage but I am thinking of Anastasia’s health status after the fight. I don't want to hurt her truly. Yo
Chapter 37 “Executed?” Rosaline asked Vixen, confused about what she was going on about. “Yes, executed so I will be expecting you two then,” Vixen said and made her way to leave the room. “You didn't state why Vixen,” Alexa said to her but Vixen just shrugged and left her room, closing the door behind her. “What could that even mean? Why would she be getting executed especially with the rituals coming up,” Rosaline said, wondering what Anastasia might have done. “Could she have annoyed the Lycans?” Alexa asked as they both continued wondering what could have made the Lycans decide to execute their breeder. Vixen met Miryam in the corridors, she was also another of Damien's concubines and a pure-blooded wolf. “Hi Miryam,” Vixen said to her, smiling. “Hi Vixen,” Miryam said to her wondering what could have made Vixen stop her on the way. “I wanted to let you know there would be a little gathering tomorrow afternoon,” Vixen said to her. Miryam frowned as she said to her, “I th
Chapter 38 The Lycans were gathered in their office discussing seriously about Anastasia. “We are going to have to execute her, these letters say it all,” Draven said to his brothers. Damien who was fuming said, “I can't believe I allowed an imposter to come into our home,” “It’s not your fault Damien, we all didn't know about this,” Darius said to his brother. Damien just shook his head. He already felt quite disappointed in himself because this was exactly what his dad had trained him so well to avoid. His dad's voice played in his head, “You do not bring chaos into your own home.” His hands tightened into a fist. “I should've known from the onset if I had been observant enough,” Draven said, also looking at the letters in anger and disgust. “Like I said no one is at fault here, we all didn't just know who she was,” Darius said trying to pacify the tense atmosphere. Darius also wasn't so happy about these findings but he felt none of them should beat themselves over this at
Chapter 39 Anastasia thought about Draven’s words and began crying bitterly. She wondered if this was the fate the moon goddess had set out for her. She wondered why her life was indeed potable till the very end. She thought about her mom, her dad, her stepmom, and her siblings and believed they would be so happy now if she left the face of the earth. She could hear her stepmom saying ‘Good riddance to bad rubbish’. She cried more as she held her necklace which was the only thing that could give her comfort but at the moment it wasn't giving her any form of comfort at all. Anastasia continued weeping bitterly and only decreased her cries when she heard two voices coming towards her. She was so surprised that it was Hannah and Esther and even tried to clean her eyes so they wouldn't know she had been crying but seeing the both of them crying now she couldn't hold her emotions and began crying with them. “Anastasia we are so so sorry,” Hannah said in between her tears as she was snif
Chapter 40 Esther woke up the next morning and quietly left a still-sleeping Draven. She was outside the door already and gently tiptoeing when she looked towards Damien’s chambers direction and saw Hannah doing the same thing. They both decided to talk and entered Hannah’s bedroom being the closest and began crying again as the thought of all that was going to happen flooded their heads. They felt helpless and didn't even know what to do anymore. They were both sitting down thinking of all that had happened, still trying to understand what could have made the Lycans decide that killing Anastasia was the best thing they could do for the Bethermore’s Mansion and not minding anymore about her being their breeder. “Do you think someone might have told a lie against Anastasia? Like someone like Vixen?” Hannah asked Esther, saying her thoughts aloud. “I thought the same thing but I also felt the Lycans would have just believed mere words. They probably must have seen something but what
Chapter 41 The concubines immediately began explaining at the same time causing a lot of noise in the process as Darius couldn't even get anything from all they were saying but he very well could hear Anastasia’s name so he got the inkling that the whole issue and fight could be because of Anastasia. “Enough!” He shouted and they all ceased the noise. There was silence and Hannah began to speak when Darius silenced her by raising his hand and he said to them, “The gold rankings should go ahead to explain first and I believe they are Vixen and Naomi. So I could understand everything you all are saying after them then you both can also give me your explanation,” Darius pointed his index finger from Hannah to Esther. “I was attempting to speak first before you said this,” Hannah said to Darius feeling downplayed but he just ignored her completely and motioned for Vixen to go on. Hannah felt pissed, stomped her foot on the ground, and began walking out of the gathering and on Darius.
Chapter 42 Draven felt so compelled and drawn to the dungeon. He didn't know why but the feelings were so strong that he couldn't quite act as though he couldn't feel it at all. He knew he just had to see Anastasia again before her execution. He tried his best to overcome this tempting temptation and didn't even realize it until his legs took him to the very entrance of the dungeon trying to see her face one last time before she faced death. He couldn't believe himself at all and he knew his pride wouldn't allow him to make her know that he had been craving to see her face which was why he had come here instead of the execution ground. He asked himself internally,’ What am I doing here?’ Yet he couldn't find himself leaving but just still stood looking into the dungeon craving her face. The urge to see Anastasia’s face was becoming stronger. “Sir, she will be taken to the execution grounds in a few minutes,” One of the guards at the dungeon said to him because he wasn't sure if Dr
