Chapter 178Sonia's POV"That's right," I replied to him and they smiled.Turning to Alessia, "You look great this morning. I want to see you both. Can we talk in the living area?" I asked politely and watched as Alessia frowned her face."the last time you were this nice to me, something strange happened," Alessia said to me right in front of Dennis.I froze, almost glaring at her but had to keep my cool."Well, that was a mistake. I know you think I'm a bad person Alessia but I bet you, I'm not as bad as you think I am." I replied to her and led the way into the sitting room.They sat down together while I did sat opposite them. "I want to say I'm deeply sorry about everything. I know you hate me or maybe I'm wrong here. I really like you Alessia and Dennis and all I will ever want is for you both to be in fair positions and be as happy as you deserve." I said to them and they looked at me, clearly surprised even though I could see the doubt in their faces."It's fine Luna. I reall
Chapter 179Sonia's POV“I need to talk to her, Luna.” His voice was flat, devoid of its usual warmth. He stood up abruptly, his eyes fixed on the exit of the sitting room.My lips formed a cunning smile the moment he left."I will see how this goes. I hope it works in my favor." I cheered in whispers.There was no noise neither was there any sound that was off all through that day and it got me thinking if it actually went as I planned.The next morning, I needed to visit the kitchen but then decided to pass Dennis and Alessia's rooms to see if I would hear a sound that could hint at something.But then I got cornered by Dennis in the gilded hallway, his gaze unwavering, his voice low and menacing. “Stay away from Alessia,” he’d said, his words a hiss in the stillness. “Stay away from her and her life, or you’ll regret it.” he spat to me and I froze in shock.What changed? Was it that my plan didn't go as I thought it would? I was confused.Then I rolled my eyes. There is always a wa
Chapter 180Sonia's POVIt was time for the dinner that I had prepared and planned.My alpha, Dennis and Alessia, were seated opposite me, their faces illuminated by the soft candlelight. It was a tableau of elegance, an orchestrated performance of grace and refinement, the kind I excelled at. I, Luna Sonia, had curated this evening, meticulously planning every detail, every course, every wine pairing. And tonight, I was also playing a very specific role - the silent observer, the architect of their breakup if there will be one.Dennis was the first to arrive, his face a mask of controlled indifference. He greeted me with a polite nod and a curt handshake, his eyes lingering on my scarlet dress, a dress I knew he'd find provocative. He was a man who appreciated a woman's beauty, the kind who would fall for a dazzling performance, especially if it was laced with a hint of danger. Alessia, his lover at the time, was a different story. She was composed, even demure, and dressed in a clas
Chapter 181Sonia's POV"Where is Damian?" I couldn't help but ask the guards."I think he is in his room," he replied me."I see. Okay please I want to see him. He is supposed to be here as we are having our good time." I said to him and he walked out of the dining room to go check on him.A few minutes later, he returned. "he said he is down in health and can't participate but he sent his well wishes." the halyard replied and I lifted my brows.Is that so? "In that case, I will let him be," I replied and focused on eating. Soon, I was done and exhausted. Dennis and Alessia who had been quiet for long stood up and left.It was then remaining just I and Antonio right there."You seem to be in a very good mood." my lover spoke to me all of a sudden. "Yes of course. Well, I deserve it." I told him and he smiled."Well I love to see you happy too," he said, caressing my back. We soon left there and retired to our room.When we got in, he lay on the bed with me after we had had our show
Chapter 182Sonia's povI had a lot of things on my mind on this bright new day. I appeared in the dining room to eat my breakfast. Then he walked in."good morning Luna." he greeted and I looked up at him."good morning Dennis. You look for dresses for an occasion. Don't tell me you are about to abandon us right now." I replied to him and he smiled."I don't think so, Luna. I just want to take a walk around the pack. Don't misunderstand me, please. I will be back before the day goes." he replied me."Yes, I understand you don't even have to tell me anything. Please take care." I told him and soon, he left.I smiled knowing this was all I had got. I need to make good use of this time else...I thought it was the best thing to do.I looked up and saw a bodyguard guarding the door. I left the dining room and got dressed to leave the palace. I needed to prove that I was a daughter of the black pool pack. If I didn't show them, they wouldn't know.*******It took me a while to get into
Chapter 183Alessia's povI looked up and couldn't be more shocked as I saw who was standing there. At first, I couldn't make out a thing, but then I recalled it was a man and then also recalled I had Dennis in my life. If there was any pleasure left in my body, it vanished at that point and I stood and turned to the man penetrating me, my eyes being cleared at that point.Dennis stood there, dumbstruck."Who are you and what are you doing to me?" I questioned the man fucking me seconds ago."what do you mean? You invited me here and now you asked this?" he replied to me, hissed, and pulled up his trousers. Then he took a substance I recalled him dropping on the table, sprinkled some on his body, and vanished into the unknown.All of this happened within a minute and neither I nor Dennis had the chance to process what had just happened.I then discovered that I was all alone in this world. My body went cold. It felt as though I was going to die at that spot but what was better than th
Chapter 184Damian's povI couldn't believe I was holding Alessia's corpse in my hands. Holding her, I felt as though I would pass out anytime. I didn't think it was going to be pleasant to her just like that. Tears streamed out of my eyes freely as I recalled her last words.Please save Leila! She wanted me to help save Leila? I thought in disbelief. Was she at peace with her in her heart already, I grabbed her, my heart feeling shattered.I screamed at the top of my voice, hoping to attract the people living under the same roof as me but no matter how I screamed, only the bodyguards came to check the room out and when they sane the scene they left without a word. I carried Alessia out of the palace and went to bury her in the forest.I walked back into the palace and entered my room straight. I had never seen anyone as cold as Sonia and Antonio. I waited for dinner to reach and when I knew they would be present in the dining room, I stormed there. "I can't believe that you have no
Chapter 185Damian's povAntonio saw how close we were and thought she would be the best person to capture and use against me. I remember being so in love with Leila and would do anything for her only to get shot in that direction. At that moment every single feeling I thought I had for Leila died down as all I wanted to do at that point was to get her back into the pack. There was nothing I could do. I couldn't even report to the alpha else she would be killed as I was being monitored from all angles. I had not felt so broken my whole life. I was so worried but then, he promised never to harm Lily... What then was he talking about, telling me that she was consumed? "I didn't ask you to kill her. She is my sister... Why?" I cried in his presence for the first time.I had always thought that if I left him and did not support I would be being unfaithful, without knowing that he had betrayed my tryst even without me knowing."where was she buried?" I asked and Antonio laughed out loud
Chapter 203Leila's povI couldn't understand why though but I knew that whatever it was, it would work in my favour."step forward Leila," the priestess said to me and I moved forward with the help of Damian. She made me kneel before the altar and then she started performing rituals over me. A few minutes later, I saw smoke coming out from the altar all at once and we had to wait for it to land. I watched it hover around the air and finally settled on me, filling me up.I shivered within and didn't know when I went unconscious.I soon opened my eyes only to see Alpha Xander staring at me. I then sat up and saw that I was being laid."you are awake," Damian said happily and quickly hugged me. Alpha Xander looked very excited. He was still seated on the wheels provided for him.I stood up and looked around my body. I felt stronger. It was weird at first as I jumped around. The energy in me was top-notch. It was only me, Damian, and Alpha Xander that were there. I think the rest chose
Chapter 202Antonio's povI didn't know if that was a good idea or a bad one cause after seven hours of leaving the pack some guards who claimed they were from the chiefs returned with my warriors' clothes stained in blood and reported to me that they had met them all dead.I felt devastated. I wasn't willing to sacrifice my daughter in the midst of all these and it felt as though I was losing it already. I didn't know what I was thinking anymore. "what's wrong? Have they been able to find her?" Sonia asked me from behind and I felt my anger rising."What did the chiefs' guards mean by they met the warriors I sent out dead? That's impossible. I will kill them all." I growled in anger and ordered my guards to go gather all the chiefs I had trusted along with the guards. These chiefs helped me get on the throne. There were other chiefs who didn't succumb to me but I had no idea where they were. They left the pack long before I came so I was going to kill the rest for failing in their j
Chapter 201Amelia's povI couldn't understand the reason Damian chose to get away from me like this so I swore to get to the root of the matter. I won't sit and watch my love life go down the drain. I loved Damian and never thought of playing with him.I made my way out of the forest and ran back to the black pool pack, keeping in mind that my father was ruling there at the moment. When I got to the gate of the palace, I paused there for a while before going in.The guards were very surprised to see me but I didn't care as it wasn't the point.It was a bright new day but I didn't think so as I walked in, looking very pissed at my existence. "where are my parents." I asked the gate at the main door of the building.He then took me in and I walked into the dining to see my parents eating breakfast when my world was shattering. "someone explain what is happening here."They looked up and were very surprised to see me. "what are you doing here Amelia?" my father asked."Oh, my child. I
Chapter 200Sonia's povI couldn't believe my eyes. Gosh! I understand that Damian is missing and he left with Leila but what has it changed? He is still the alpha. I would rather he prove to the people that he can protect them and solidify his position than this he was doing. He just killed a member and now the whole pack is in mourning. I didn't think he was right in this. We should only go after anyone who threatens our position and not innocent pack members. I turned and walked into the building after him, chasing after him."make me understand the reason for that Antonio. Do you realize you just killed someone?" I queried.He turned and faced me in the bedroom looking really scared. "Sonia I expect you to follow my lead and not ask me stupid questions. Do you realize what will happen if those two get their hands on any power and come after us again?"What the hell was he even talking about? "this is not even the point. You murdered someone you were obligated to protect. This nev
Chapter 199Antonio's pov"Search them! Fish them out right now!!!" I commanded my men as I watched them leave. Arrrrgghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!I could not control my anger anymore as my warriors matched out of the black pool pack to find Damian and Leila. I was then wondering how long they had gone missing for as I knelt on the floor at the from of the palace building. On remembering Dennis, I decided to check him out but no matter how much I searched around, he was nowhere to be found. "Where is Dennis? He was here a few minutes ago." I asked one of the guards I had right there."he left long ago. Not too long from when he came." the guard responded and I got very pissed. How could he leave again without saying goodbye?My mind was messed up and I really needed someone to talk to."you are walking around like you have mental issues," Sonia said to me, fueling my anger. "why are you doing this to me? Why are you doing this to me answer me?"I screamed at her.My anger was over the roof.
Chapter 198Leila's povAntonio was a very desperate and greedy man. We had to listen to every single thing Damian had to say and though I was still angry at him deep within me, I still think it wasn't entirely his fault.Why hurt your fellow werewolf for revenge? It just doesn't add up to me at all.Damian was still with me and the alpha. He unexpectedly went down on his knees to beg me for forgiveness. "I want you to forgive me, Lily. I know you may never want to get back into a romantic relationship with me and I'm not expecting you to or feeling entitled to it. I just want you to forgive me. I was wrong. I admit it. I should have alerted you and if I knew my sister would have died, I would have risked my life so I wouldn't have to live to witness her absence. Please don't take me back but forgive me for all the pain and disappointment I have cost you."I didn't expect this apology but either way, it brought tears to my eyes and I had to cry it out. Yes I loved him and I wasn't jok
Chapter 197Leila's pov"You look ready." the rogue appeared in our presence well covered.We looked at each other and then at the rogue. Two others then joined them, and all of a sudden they were three.I shifted back a little. I was disappointed because I never thought of fighting anyone. How was I supposed to fight more than one rogue? Seems like I would have to experience what it was like being beaten by a random rogue. I felt tired all of a sudden and then sat down on the floor. "Leila you can't do that." Damian's voice came through."I can't fight them either. I mean it's not like I am that strong. You should give up too. You aren't Alpha Xander." I told him and he realized what u was saying at that instant but still didn't want to let his guard down.The rogues looked mysterious. "Did you just say Alpha Xander?" one of them asked."yes, that's my alpha," Damian replied to them and they stood still, taking their hands like people giving up in a fight. Seeing their reactions. I
Chapter 196Leila's povDid they get attacked? I couldn't believe my ears. I had lived in the cage with the mindset that I was nothing. I had no idea that the pack was in chaos due to my disappearance. I then started feeling this special gratitude for my Alpha."But Leila... Will you ever forgive me?" I heard Damian ask. I was already making peace with myself."I think you should give me time." I said to him and he didn't argue that as we walked, trying to find our way out of the forest. "if we find ourselves out of the forest? Do you think it will be wise to get into the black pool pack though?""that will be a terrible decision to make. I'm sure you want to be spared. We just have to find a good place to be able to stick to and lay our heads. I don't know if his people have recovered from the spell I cast on them though but I know we have gone far already and are safe from that angle. The only thing to be careful about right now is ensuring we never get to see Antonio or his wife ri
Chapter 195Damian's povI didn't need anyone to tell me. I knew I had not just lost my sister. I had lost Leila too. "Leila I know that I do not deserve to be around you right now but one thing is for sure. I am really sorry and I would do anything to prove it. I know you would never want to be with me again, at least not after everything you saw right there. I want to have you. Please give me a second chance to prove myself to you over and over again." I said to her and she was in pain. She put down her head, hoping to cover her face while she cried but I wasn't willing to let her happen and instead placed her head on my lap."Damian I have no choice but to forgive you. It's okay but we can no longer be partners or mates. I cherished all the time spent together but thank you. I will officially pause it here." I heard her after a while. I couldn't believe she said that to me as I was beyond shocked. Leila forgave me? I couldn't believe my eyes and ears."Leila you really forgave me
