LUCY My plans to win Cade's trust were finally coming through. What did it take me to win his trust? Pretty simple, I told him about the alpha's summit and how it would be a great opportunity to attack. Chris had told me of the forthcoming summit and the date. Oh, yeah, I lied about the date to Cade. There was no way I would tell him the exact date. An invasion of the pack with Cade's absence would be disastrous to the people in it.I was now part of the team that would lead the invasion although my mother was against it. She wanted me to have nothing to do with Cade or his evil plot. She wanted me out of the plan. I understood her fears and worries but that was the only way to get on his good side. "I know you seek revenge for your father's death but this isn't worth it," she said. "Who said I was seeking revenge? I have my plans, you shouldn't bother yourself over nothing," I said. My mother wasn't convinced yet, no matter how she tried to talk me out of it it won't change my
CHRISMy decision had caused a stir in the hearts of the other council members but that wouldn't make me change my mind. Kazmir had bitten more than he could chew this time, he had it coming. "Son, I need you to reverse your decision else there will be a problem within the council," my mother pleaded. I turned deaf ears to her as well. I was the Alpha and I had the right to appoint anyone I wanted to carry out any task, whether an elder or not. Lothar, too, tried to talk me out of it but I paid no attention to him. What was wrong with appointing an elder to oversee the preparation of the summit? They all made it look like it was a big deal for him to carry out the task. I knew my action would create more enemies for me but I cared less. They could plan whatever they wanted in making sure I was dethroned, but it would amount to nothing. Not having a mate was the only thing they could use against me and I had one, it was only a matter of time before I cleared a name and reinstall he
LUCY My heart skipped a beat when I heard Cade's voice out the door. He was the last person I expected to see around here and I wondered how he got to know about this place. Was it Nathan? I thought. No, Nathan wouldn't betray me like that, would he?"Lucy, I know you're in there. Come out now," Cade said in a harsh tone. I didn't know what to do at that point, if things went wrong, Cade would know about Chris and that would be the end."This is my chance to deal with that scumbag that wants me dead," Chris snarled, clenching his fist as he made his way to the door."That's not going to happen, this is not the right moment to have your revenge. It won't be a fair fight after all," I beckoned, hoping he would comply and he did. "What are you going to do now?" he said softly. He wasn't scared of facing Cade, he was only worried about me. "Lucy, open the door," Cade's voice jolted me again. My heart was racing now, if I didn't respond to his call he would surely break the door down.
CHRIS As the full moon cast an ethereal glow over the pack and the forest beyond, I found myself standing on the threshold of a revelation that could alter my perception of my past and reshape my future. The revelation that Cade, the man who had ordered Lucy to kill me and the so-called leader of the rogues, was none other than my long-lost uncle. A mix of curiosity and nervousness pulsed through my veins as I made my way to my mother's quarters, determined to confront my mother and unearth the truth about this mysterious connection.I pushed open the door and stepped into the dimly lit room. The scent of lavender, my mother's favourite fragrance, still lingered in the air, bringing a sense of familiarity that brought both comfort and unease."Mother, "I called out, my voice carrying a tinge of nervous anticipation. I found her sitting in her favorite armchair, engrossed in a worn book, its pages filled with the tales of their ancestral werewolf lineage. The lines etched on her face
LUCY I paced back and forth in my small, dimly lit room, my mind spinning with a plan I had concocted to outsmart Cade. The moon's pale light filtered through the window, casting an ethereal glow on my face as I plotted my next move. I called Nathan into the room. He entered the room cautiously, his eyes locked with mine, searching for any hint of my true motives."Have you told your father about Chris and I?" I inquired. "No, I still think this is a bad idea, Lucy. Think about it," he said."What are you waiting for? Tell him," I urged, my voice steady but tinged with determination. "Tell him that I am mated to the Alpha he despises so much. Let him know that I have joined forces with Chris, gained his trust, and have access to his inner circles. This way he will believe that I am on his side and use me to further his evil plans."Nathan's expression shifted from confusion to disbelief. "Lucy, are you serious? You want me to tell my father that you are mated to his enemy, not just
LUCY Gaining the trust of Cade wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. He was so blinded by his hatred for Chris and the pack that he was ready to do anything to bring them down. The first phase of my plan was completed, now all I needed to do was inform Chris of this plan. My heart raced in anticipation as I prepared to meet Chris at his pack. I was lost in thoughts and failed to notice Maverick approach me until he was standing right in front of me. His intense gaze held a mixture of concern and secrecy. Maverick being the most feared person in the pack apart from Cade was known for his ability to sniff out secrets."Maverick," I greeted him, trying to mask my surprise. "What are you doing here?"His eyes bore into mine, his voice hushed yet urgent. "Lucy, you're walking into a dangerous game. Cade may trust you now but there are things he knows that you don't know. Things that could put you in grave danger."My heart skipped a beat. The weight of his words settled upon me.
LUCY It had been a few weeks since I was introduced to Chris's mother, Lady Maeve as I fondly called her. Despite my initial reservations, Lady Maeve welcomed me with open arms, sensing a kindred spirit within me. We spent countless hours together, sharing stories, laughter, and even shedding a few tears. She also told me stories about my father and how he was a friend to the Alpha before his death. She promised to look into the case again and find out the truth.As the days went by, my visits to the werewolf pack became more frequent. I couldn't resist the magnetic pull I felt toward Chris and his intriguing world. However, I had to be cautious. Being an outsider, I was keenly aware of the prying eyes of the pack members who could easily sniff out my true identity as an intruder and a rogue.Since my hut in the woods was no longer safe for us to meet and Chris's pack was a bad idea. It wouldn't be long before I eventually got caught by the pack members. We had to think of another wa
CHRIS Lucy's sudden confession came as a surprise to me. It was no news that she was developing feelings but I never expected her to open up to me so soon. The moment I had been waiting for was finally here and the weight of uncertainty that plagued me lifted. I gazed into her eyes with love and affection."Lucy," I said, my voice filled with emotions. "You don't know how happy I am to hear you say these words. I've loved you for as long as I remember and I've always wished that you felt the same way towards me."A smile spread across her face as she reached out to caress my cheek. "I was afraid to admit my feelings to you, Chris, especially with the circumstances that surround us. I felt like I was betraying my father by being with you. But now I've realized that my heart belongs to you."My heart fluttered with excitement, I felt a sense of contentment. I finally had a mate of my own, the one destined to be by my side as my Luna. I wrapped my arms around her in a tight embrace as w
