(Nikita's P.O.V.)"W—What do you mean I killed Pinky and Gabriel? I killed a person?" I stuttered. She nodded her head.I felt my knees turn jelly. If it weren't for my hands that gathered support from the table, I would have collapsed from the ground already. The woman was alarmed. And although she was hesitant, she still helped me stand up."You have to go back to your room. You are scaring the injured!" she blurted, making my brows furrowed.Why would they be scared of me? I did not hurt anybody. I don't even know what she's talking about. This must be a trick. I think she's trying to make me believe that I hurt those people—to make me feel bad. So, I could lose my self-trust.What is going on?...Where is Manuel? Where is Nana?The woman was about to leave when I grabbed her arm. Astounded, she looked at me in shocked."Tell me the truth. How did I end up hurting all of them?"Her brows arched. Fear was visible in her eyes, but she's trying her best to fight it. I looked at her st
(Nikita's P.O.V.)I don't think I can look at him. There's a black cloth wrapped around someone in front of me. But I'm scared to move, and take a look into it. I know that I told the burners to wait before they put him on fire. But I just can't. I need time."Please, have a look faster. The body is getting harder. It will be more difficult to turn it into as—""Just wait for a few more moments. It won't take longer than the time I'll get to see him again." I cut him off.The Omega bowed his head. The foreign act moved me a little, but I was already too flustered to pause on that. I released a brave sigh before finally taking a glance at Manuel's body. I was afraid that it would look scary—something that would hunt me for life. But he looked peaceful. He was as handsome as he was when he was still alive."Farewell, my dear friend."And with that—They wrapped him again with the black cloth. I watched them as they carried his body to put him into the pit. There were woods around him. I
(Trojan's P.O.V.) Father did not have the chance to disagree about my decision to propose a truce with Alpha Lucia. He would never want me to have a good relationship with their pack because of the ongoing case that we have with her. Besides, he was never a fan of a female leader. But I knew that it was the only way I could open a door to get closer to her. "Alpha Lucia is already waiting for you, Alpha," Beta reported. I fixed my tie before entering the fine dining room. I was the one who set up everything here. I needed to make sure that the mother of my mate would feel comfortable, so it would be a success to propose a truce with her. "The idea is sitting on the same table as you never once crossed my mind..." she first greeted. I smiled softly at her. I picked up a bottle of wine on the table to pour her a drink. "Don't put too much. I'm not much of a drinker now." I did as she said. I pulled myself a seat and sat across from her. I can clearly see Nikita's resemblance with
(Nikita's P.O.V.)I wished my Mother had warned me that Trojan would attend my coronation day. Although, it is to be expected for he is the leader of all packs, I wasn't still anticipating his attendance because of the issue that happened about the forbidden black magic."You must lift your head, my lady." I heard Beta's voice speak behind the thick curtains.I moved my eyes away from them, and laid my attention to the crowd. I flashed a sweet smile on my face in spite of the squeezing pain I'm feeling in my chest. They started to cheer my name. Everyone is looking at me. All attention is on me."Good evening everyone. I am glad for the time that you spent to join me in my small celebration tonight. I appreciate all your efforts. May you all have fun with the food and experience that I shall engrave in your hearts. Again, I am Nikita, daughter of Alpha Lucia—leader of Ambersley pack. I stand here before you as the winner of the historical competition for the throne," I stated. It was
(Nikita's P.O.V.)I did not fail to share what I feel to Mother. However, she was still insisting that Trojan's presence could help me because the other Alphas will think that he agrees with an Omega being a leader of a pack, and there's a chance that they will do the same.However, there are still people who don't agree with my reign. I remained silent in spite of all the accusations they were throwing at me. There were people who supported me, and applauded my success. But there are also those who weren't happy with the result of the competition, especially those who were great supporters of Pinky and Gabriel. They all hated me.I am currently seated at the furthest chair away from the two people I am trying so hard to avoid.I could sense Trojan's stares at me. He's been watching me, and I would be a petty liar if I tell you that it's not making me uncomfortable.I'm just glad that I didn't have to greet him earlier. He didn't fall in line. I don't know why. But it's for the best.
(Nikita's P.O.V.)I remember the promises he left to destroy me. Those were empty, and had no meaning. It was all talk. If he had loved me, why would he marry Clara? He was never serious about choosing me. And why would I think that he would choose me? I am just an Omega.And his disciples love Clara. There's no reason for him to make an odd decision of choosing me, right?The celebration went on. I met different people. My cheeks were already feeling stiff from all the smiling I'm doing. To tell you the truth, my social energy has a limit. I believe I'm about to just shut down. I want to go back to my chambers and hide."The formal ceremony is about to start, my lady. We must come to the stage now. Your people are waiting."I came with my Beta on stage. She guided me to the top where I saw the Elders of the pack, waiting for me. They had smiles on their faces. A welcoming one. It makes me wonder if I'm really welcome to this place. I remember they were the same faces who looked at me
(Ron's P.O.V.)"What did my brother tell you?" Lea asked as soon as I got back. I thought she went with Nikita already. She called me earlier, asking me to pick her up. I don't know why. She could have come with Trojan and Clara instead. Maybe, she's not comfortable around Clara? I can't blame her. "Did he threaten you?" she asked again.My brows arched. Threatened?"No. He was just saying hello," I lied. I can't tell her about my plan. I can't tell anyone. "Why would you ask that? And why would he threaten me?" Unless, he's threatened that I would steal Nikita from him. I already know I can't. I just want Nikita's happiness."N—Nothing. I just thought that he would get mad because of you because he's a protective brother. He always makes sure no guys come to me, you know?" she explained. I nodded my head. Well, that wasn't the reason why he called me though.My eyes landed on her fidgeting hands. She's been acting like this since that night that we shared. To be honest, it's nothing
(Trojan's P.O.V.)The least thing I could do was give her my hair. It was all I can do after hurting her so much. I hope that could help her feel better. I wished I could tell her what my real plan is, but I'm afraid that it would spoil everything.I just need time, baby, and I can finally be with you and our pup. I have to make sure that you will not be hurt through the steps I'm about to take.Clara was outside the venue when I got out. Beside her is my Beta who looked like he's been persuading her to go back to the car. I sighed upon seeing this very situation. "It took you forever. What were you doing? You said you'll be back quick. You weren't quick," she said. I prompted my Beta to leave facing her."I said I'll follow once my business is done," I corrected.She rolled her eyes. "Whatever..." she huffed. I watched her stomped her way to the car.I was about to follow her when I saw a man hiding in the shadows of the trees. I locked my eyes at him, and I immediately recognized hi
