SELENE

I have been moody for the past few days, and that was because of the threat I received from Alpha Thorne, the head of the werewolf council. I knew that there was no way that I would be able to get things back to normal. I signed a deal with the devil incarnate, and I knew that soon my life would change from good to bad. I knew that things wouldn't have been this bad if I had stayed here and not tried to watch Lucius fail while trying to be with his mate. I feel like soon I will be given a huge assignment by the so-called head of the council, and I know that there is no way I will be able to escape that since he has a lot of connections.

Here I am in my room, sitting down on my bed, lost in thoughts with my eyes wide open. I wasn't aware of my surroundings until I heard a whiff of air heading into my room, and I knew with no doubt that it was the lunatic head of the council who had sent a letter through the arrow again. The arrow impaled itself on the wall, and I felt my legs s

    FreyaI was shocked to learn that the werewolf council was participating, even though I was the only one who knew that no one could possibly believe it. I also realized that I can never fully trust anyone. I made the decision to withhold my findings because I was aware that my confidence might be betrayed in an instant. I was aware that using the information as bait might enable me to apprehend the offender; therefore, I didn't want to let them know that I had it. Even though I was having trouble understanding what had transpired, I understood that the rogue's demise would also be beneficial for all of this. I'll see to it that my discoveries are only shared with Lucius and my beta. I was aware that we might not be able to identify the offender if the others found out. "I need you to dispose of the body of the rogue." I said, mind-linking a fighter from the pack to dispose of his body. I left the place covered in blood, and everything belonged to the rogue who had died. I felt a li

    Freya"Why is she here? "I asked, my expression displaying anger and coldness. "What's wrong?"I turned to face Jeremy, who startled out of his slumber upon hearing my boisterous voice. He scowled at me, a chilly expression on his face, while I gave him a puppet-like glance. "Who is here?" I sighed heavily, not wanting to let Lucius know that Selene was here when he inquired. I said, "I hope I didn't disturb you," thinking it would be sufficient to get him to forget what I had said. Before he interrupted, I had intended to send her away, and I knew that if I had kept my mouth shut, this would not have occurred. "What's the cause of your exclamation?" He inquired, casting a frightened, concerned glance at me. He always shows me love and care, and that's what I adore most about him. I want to spend all of eternity with him. I said, "I was told that Mable is at the pack border," and he gave me a startled look. He was so furious that he moaned in agony as he attempted to get out of be

    SeleneMy heart hurt when I saw Lucius lying on the bed like a dead dog of wood, and I was hurt that he would have to pass away. There was no way I could make things return to normal, but I was aware that things might not go between the two of us the way I wanted them to. It was his decisions that caused things to go the way they did. He would now have to bear the costs of his decision to be with Freya. I was angry, but I didn't know what to do; the rage I had felt before when Freya was speaking to me in a strong tone had disappeared. It seemed like I wasn't always getting what I wanted. I made a self-promise to pretend to be caring for him, but now that I will be caring for him, that promise will no longer stand. I'll take care of him and show him what it's like to be taken care of by someone other than one's partner. I knew that Freya would be his downfall, and I knew the leader of the werewolf council wouldn't have wanted to kill him if he hadn't wanted to be with her so much. I

    SeleneI woke up with a deep sigh, knowing that this would be my last day in this pack. I have been trying to bring myself to do what I planned on doing to Lucius, but I have been finding it hard to do that. It was hard for me, but I knew I had no other choice but to do that. I don't want to lose my life for an ungrateful jerk like him. I knew that even though I found ways to sort things out between the two, there was no way he would be spared by Alpha Thorne, and that was because he had developed hatred for Lucius. I don't know what Lucius did to anger someone like Alpha Thorne, but that isn't my concern. All I want is to get what I was sent done today, and I will make sure nothing stops me from getting it. I will make sure I get that done at all costs.I walked into the bathroom with a towel tied around my waist. I brushed my teeth and took a bath. I walked out of the bathroom with a towel tied around my waist. Water was dripping down my hair, and I dried my body with the towel. I

    FreyaIt was hard for me to accept Selene into the pack, but I had no choice but to do that. I noticed that something suspicious was going on with Selene, but there is nothing I can do to justify that. I know that Lucius won't believe me if I say it, but I have no choice but to keep it to myself. Although Selene has been helping me these days, I couldn't help but feel worried that something was going to happen. I shrugged it off my mind with the intention that I may be hallucinating about the whole thing. Here I am in my office, trying to focus on the paperwork that is in front of me, and I'm finding it hard to concentrate. My eyes were furrowed as a frown was plastered on my face. I felt the need and urge to visit Lucius, which I have been trying to ignore. It has been hard for me to know that his ex-fiance is here with the pack and that he approves of her joining it. It was hard for me to let her stay in the pack and, not only that, for her to tend to him. I have been limiting th

    SeleneI wasn't expecting Freya to know about me being the one so soon, but I was expecting this. I knew sooner or later I would be caught by her, but I wasn't expecting it to be this soon. I could hear the sound of a horse approaching from a distance, and I knew that there was no way to escape anymore. I felt adrenaline pumping through my veins, so I increased my speed. I ran through the thick bush with fear evident in my eyes. I dove down under a branch of a tree with great speed that I didn't know I possessed. My eyes were filled with tears, and I was sweating. I knew that there was no way I would be able to escape from Freya and her cohorts. I knew this would be the end of me, but I was glad that Lucius would be coming with me. I will not bat an eye at him after meeting him in the afterlife. He made me do all this, and now his mate is after me. What was I even expecting? I have made a great mistake by poisoning him, but I am glad for that. I will make sure I pay him back tenfol

    FreyaI ride the horse faster than before, filled with anger, not caring if I am hurting her. I had the rope in my hand, and I kept dragging it with my hands. I knew that she would be in a lot of pain because my hands were hurting, which was caused by the force I was using to drag him. She kept screaming with pain as I dragged her toward my pack, and I didn't bat an eyelash at her screaming of pain. I knew that she was ruthless in trying to kill Lucius, and not only that she was confident. She doesn't seem to reject the person who told her to poison him. Where I had caught up with her was far from my pack, and that made me more happy because she would be in a lot of pain before we went to my pack. I knew that there was no way she wouldn't feel the pains that were being inflicted on her by the road. "Are you alright?" I heard Seraphina's voice ask in the mind-link, with worriedness etched in her tone. I knew that she had heard about the whole thing and was worried about me, but what

    FreyaIt came as a huge shock to me to know that it was Alpha Thorne who was behind it all. I knew that I should have been expecting all this before, but I didn't see it coming. I knew that I would be shocked if I found out who was responsible, but I was way more shocked than I thought. I knew that I had a hunch that he might be the one, but I didn't expect it to be this soon. I had thought that since he was the head of the council, he wouldn't be the one. I stared at Selene with my mouth wide open, not knowing what to do or say to her. I knew that things didn't go as I wanted and that they might continue this way. I knew that he wasn't the only one who would be after Lucius. I knew that he would have some of the council members and some of the alphas backing him up. I felt like there was something hidden from both of us, and I knew that there would have to be a secret behind what the head of the council was doing. I knew that there would have to be a secret regarding Lucius being a

    Days have passed since the event, and everything is going as planned. Since Lucius and Freya had made the decision to move on with their lives, it was as if nothing had happened over the previous few days. They've made the decision to live in the present rather than the past. They made the wonderful decision to hold both their coronation and mating ceremonies since they understood not to dwell on them. As they get ready for the coronation, which is set to start at noon, they are all grinning.There were guests everywhere, and there was a lively buzz about the pack. There were lots of sounds coming from the pack as people were chatting about the evening's event. After the event, everyone seemed to adore Freya and Lucius. It was no longer a mystery that the werewolf council's leader wasn't as good as he had claimed to be; everyone was aware of what had happened. The fact that Lucius's father was the late Lycan, who previously led the werewolf council, is now well known.Everyone adored

    LuciusI was furious about everything that was happening, but I was powerless to stop it. I was furious as I listened to the so-called alpha tell me all he had done to my parents. If I hadn't wanted to deviate from the plan, I would have demolished the entire house out of anger. I understood that carrying out that action would compromise the original intent of this plan. I now see why Freya warned me that I may be betrayed by anyone, and that would put me in danger. I was aware that the man's only goal would be to murder me. I was getting so upset at everything he said to me about my parents that I thought I could lose my temper. Hatred toward the man who was accountable for everything that had occurred was visible in my eyes. I realized that it was all his fault that I had never had a wolf in the first place. I was aware that he posed a threat to everyone and that my goal in ending him was to do so immediately. I knew that if things had gone wrong, it wouldn't have ended well, so I

    ThorneIt came as a huge shock to me to know that all this was a plan from Freya. She made me look like a fool. She had outrun me and found ways to protect her mate at all costs, and I felt myself wanting nothing other than to kill her. My eyes turned red as I tried hard not to kill her immediately. I knew that there would be no words of all this to anyone out there if they were both dead. I knew that I had to kill Freya and Lucius, and I have been trying to avoid that as well. It hurt me to know that I would have to kill someone like Freya someday, but I knew there was nothing I could do to escape that. I knew that I would end up killing her today to make sure everything that happens here stays a secret. I knew that I would also have a chance of acquiring Freya's pack for myself. I knew that it would make my pack more broody than it is. I was happy that I would finally be getting a new pack for myself. I knew that it wouldn't be easy for me to take on Freya since she is a strong alp

    FreyaI woke up as quickly as I could, ignoring everyone. I knew that they all thought that I was still grieving over Lucius's disappearance, but I'm not. I knew exactly what was going on, and there was nothing anyone would say to me that would make me talk to them. Everybody was extremely worried about me and how I'm fairing without Lucius being kidnapped. I didn't eat last night because I didn't know how Lucius was fairing wherever he was. I was glad to know that the men I had sent to go after him were with him. I had a new sense of security. I walked toward the direction of the place where Lucius was. I shifted into my wolf's form after I noticed that I still had a lot of distance to cover. I shifted back into my human form after I had gotten to the place, and the guards who were there bowed their heads immediately when they saw me. They all wore smiles on their faces, which makes me believe that Alpha Thorne hasn't done anything to him. I knew that they wouldn't be as calm as the

    Thorne I was glad that things had worked out my way, and I woke up early in the morning just like I had planned. I sent a letter to Alpha Titus the previous night, telling him the location where we would be meeting to kill Lucius. I was glad that the alpha meant business since he understood my fear, and I was glad that he still wanted to proceed with the plan. I make my way out of my pack with a look of happiness on my face. Anyone who sets his or her eyes on me will notice the vibrant smile that is on my face. I was glad that my plans had fallen into place, and I don't have any reason to panic anymore. I was glad that all this had happened, and I knew I wouldn't have made progress if not for the help of Alpha Titus. I have made up my mind to make his pack flourish more, and that means helping me eliminate Lucius.I walked toward the direction of the cave in which Lucius is being held, with no one following me. I knew that there was no way I would be harmed, and that was because I a

    LuciusI was brought to a location in the woods after the rogues took me away, and I couldn't help but feel afraid about the entire situation. I could see the fear of the unknown in my eyes. I let out a little moan, my lips giving way. My body froze as I was pulled into what appeared to be more of a cave. I was immediately out of breath and dazed. With a shiver of terror running down my spine, I looked everywhere. I was looking back and forth, unsure of what to do. I closed my eyes and thought about what to do. I could feel myself wanting to try out my skills, but I knew that was a bad idea since every mistake I made might put me in danger. Instead, I should have waited for Freya to come help me. I was aware that I would have to wait for Freya to arrive calmly; if she doesn't show up within the next two days, I shall handle things on my own. I'll see to it that everything proceeds as smoothly as I've always desired. I stared at the wall of the cell I had been placed in. I could sens

    ThorneI was aware that the so-called alpha Titus might turn on me. I was aware that I would need to exercise caution because I thought it might be a set-up scheme from an unknown source. I was aware that my need to prepare everything could make matters worse. I realized I would need to adopt a different tactic. I was aware that the so-called "Alpha" was in it for the long haul if he didn't take revenge after everything I was about to do. I knew that after everything I had done, he would need to maintain his composure if he truly wanted to be with Freya. I was aware that going into business with an unknown individual wouldn't be a good idea. I was aware that he might turn on me in the end. I was aware that I had let things go as I had intended, that I had betrayed many people, and that it would be simple for me to achieve my goals in that way. I was aware that I would not experience such a thing. I anticipated that I would find it difficult to put my faith in others because of their

    LuciusI was beginning to worry about the situation as a whole, believing that Alpha Thorne was aware of our intentions. I was aware that if he had been aware of our plans, it would be difficult for me to pull through. I was aware that it would not be a simple task. I was aware that it would be challenging for me to find out if he was aware of any of this. I was beginning to feel as though my eyes were boring holes in the wooden carriage. I quickly became lost in my own thoughts, frowning, unsure of what to say or do. With a scream and a little scared expression on her face, Freya said, "We are under attack," into my ears. She made a great effort to conceal her feelings, but before she realized it, they were everywhere. "We can do this," I whispered to her, trying to be brave and keep my real feelings hidden. The whole event worried me, and now that she knows that I'm not happy about it, I don't want her to feel the same way. I didn't want her to hate me, even though I knew she mig

I was not happy that I would be using him as bait. I hated the fact that he might end up getting hurt at the end, but I knew that this was our only resort. I didn't tell anybody about the plan; the plan was only known to Lucius and me. I knew that any of those who are my pack members might be spies. I knew that I couldn't trust any of them because they might want to betray me. I have learned it is hard not to trust people easily. I could see how Lucius was betrayed by his best friend, and I knew that might also happen to me if I'm not careful, so I've got to be vigilant and mind conscious. I looked at Lucius who seemedLucius, to be lost in his world of thoughts. I don't know what he's thinking, but I'm certain that it is about the new plan. It's something to think about.
