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 186Damian's povI think I have to leave here. There is no point being in here. But then I knew I couldn't just leave because I wanted to. If I leave just because I'm angry, letting it show, it could come against me, knowing the kind of person Antonio was. He would do everything to silence me.The next morning, I heard a knock on the door while I was still in bed but was ready to get up as I was soaked up in tears, looking at Leila's photo that I slept with every night."Damian it's me." I heard and that was when I knew there was a guard at the door."what do you want? Don't you think it's too early to knock here? Can you knock at the alpha's door like that?" I reprimanded him, making sure my voice was clear."I'm sorry Damian but it's 10 am already. The palace is having a late dinner and wants you there," he said to me and I jumped up, on the sound of the time. I looked at the clock in my room and was shocked.I was just waking up. By this time? And what the hell do they need
