Chapter 39________________Dorian's POV…The slashes of the horsewhips were f****** painful and unbearable. I badly wanted to scream out in pain, but I would rather not seem weak.And not in front of those who hold me in high regard. Judging from the way the guards were whipping me, I could tell they were holding back. Normally, by now, my back would have been bleeding profusely and my clothes torn to shreds. Yet, I was perfectly fine except for the surging pain.Even the elders cast pitiful gazes upon me, one even shedding tears slowly.“Stop it! She's not here anymore” one of the elders instructed the guards. They were three guards in total and one spoke.“The Luna instructed us to…”“And are you carrying out that task dutifully? That isn't how to whip!” he snapped harshly. Guilt seemed to have consumed them, and they went mute.“We can't do this. He's….he's… Alpha Dorian. He helped me so much. My family is practically indebted to him. How can I…. Be doing this to him? Yet, if I de
Chapter 40_______________Unknown POV…As the guards manhandled me into the palace, I began to rethink my actions. The consequences of what I just did is surely going to get me in a lot of trouble if I ever get caught.But I'll be damned to get caught by that bewitching Luna—I had just yelled at her, and she almost sent me to the afterlife.Committing suicide will be better than getting caught by her. But that wasn't my major concern—are my actions right or wrong?I mean, what right do I have to leave the pack without getting banished? Or committing any crime?And now, I came over to the other pack; the same one who is trying so desperately to bring down the Crescent Moon Pack. Doesn't that make me a traitor?Yet, it is too late to regret or sulk—I am already here and that is it. Even if what I'm about to do is the greatest crime of all, I just have to do it. For the pack, I just have to.While I contemplated, one of the guards almost shoved me to the floor, but I will regain my st
Chapter 41________Caddel's POV…Returning home with the strange old man doesn't seem like a bright idea; I mean, I've never even seen him in the pack before.He doesn't have our scent, but I can't distinguish whether he's one of us or not. I mean, he has our scent….a little, though.But, he doesn't seem like he's capable of causing harm—he's harmless, right?While we walked home, I kept contemplating my decision.Then again, my wolf reminded the reason we needed a shaman in the first place.‘It's for the Alpha and Kaden. Don't go thinking negatively’ he reminded, and I sighed absent-mindedly.I didn't mean to sigh so raucously, but my frustrations were getting the best of me.“Is anything the matter, boy? You seem exhausted” the old man observed, turning to look at me briefly. “No. Everything's…. I can't say fine sincerely; our current state is fuck. ed up! Our friend and Alpha Dorian aren't feeling so well. They're in a crucial condition” I responded truthfully.Conri was trailing
Chapter 42_______________Dorian's POV…“Alpha, are you okay?” he asked worriedly as he noticed hesitant the look displaying on my face. Despite how I heard his question, I couldn't speak.I don't even know what to say. What just transpired a few seconds ago left me speechless—I mean, like …what the fuck was that!Who was that old man? Where the hell did he come from? And what rubbish was he sprouting?I couldn't get an answer to any of the questions, and it's killing me. Caddel glanced at me worriedly, now attempting to touch my shoulder, but I stopped him with the raise of a hand. “What troubles you? Are you in pain? Should I get the shaman?” he asked all at once.The last statement got my attention. Lifting my eyes to look at him, I curved my eyes confused. “What shaman?” I inquired lowly; it was not like I can even speak properly.I'm barely managing right now. Caddel let out a nervous and sly smile. “You see we needed a medical person and lucky for us, we found one” he responde
Chapter 43_______________Writer's POV….*Royal Moon Pack*Days had rolled into months since she landed a deal with Cole—the Alpha. To be completely frank, she feels highly comfortable in her new lifestyle. Getting treated like a queen is something she's not used to.Back then, in the Crescent Moon Pack, Daciana made sure she did everything. She never complained; after all, she's a maid. What point is there in being a maid If she's too lazy?But, when it was Alpha Dorian, she happily carried out all the tasks given to her.Waking up from the queen-sized bed, she yawned, stretched her lips, and then rubbed her eyes. “Today's….going to be good” came a light smirk from her lips. Rolling out of the bed and standing on her feet, the door to her room got opened by a maid.Enraged by the maid's lack of privacy, she frowned deeply. Yet, she would rather not seem obnoxious and power thirsty. So, she let it slide.The maid rudely went straight into the bathroom, going there to prepare the new
Chapter 44_________________Conri's POV…“What is she doing here?” I muttered absent-mindedly, my eyes refusing to leave her figure. I wasn't the only one shocked by her impromptu appearance, the same thing applied to both the Alpha and Caddel.“Stop ogling you peasants!” came a harsh scroll from her. Daciana had gotten a bit irritated due to our resistant gaps. Well, it's understandable why she's uncomfortable but, what is she doing here in the first place?Alpha Dorian beat me to the question by asking her straight up—though his voice is a bit shaky and unsteady.Daciana let out a sigh. Her right hand moved to her forehead, gently rubbing it seemingly tired.“I need to speak with you” she responded, ignoring the question arrogantly. Tch.She has changed so immensely—it's somewhat unbelievable how fast the nights changed.Dorian was a bit fazed. He wasn't the only one. Caddel though was apprehensive and skeptical.“Speak with him? So, you can punish him again, you evil wrench!” he s
Chapter 45Daciana's POV The weather was bright, and it was a sunny day. A perfect day for business and other important stuff for people to do, but mine was different. I stood in my room with a cup of coffee as I thought about the discussion I had with Dorian.“He made some point though,” I said to myself, but yet, I wasn't ready to give in just like that. Being the Luna of the Crescent Moon Pack, I had my standards, and I was also feared by all. After I had finished my coffee, I made my way to the bathroom to take a warm bath to relax. As I offed my clothes and stared at my beautiful body in the mirror, I imagined being a complete woman. I heaved a sigh, knowing fully well that it will never be possible. I went into the bathtub as I turned on the shower, allowing the water to pour down on my body. Likewise, I had such a beautiful body that every male wolf would love to have but, I dreaded it. After having my shower, I dressed up and went over to the kitchen to prepare something
Chapter 46______________Kaden's POV… Sincerely, I don't know how I got lost. I thought I was headed toward the direction of the house, but ended up taking the wrong path. I know it sounds perfect but as a werewolf I got lost despite having a great sense of smell.But I can't be blamed since the rain is messing up my nose. Fu.ck it!The storm doesn't seem to be calming down any moment now. To me, it's going heavier, and I'm getting f****** cold.Now I fucking regret not going with Alpha Dorian and the rest. S.hit.“Fuc. k this” I sneezed raucously, my head spinning. I felt a sudden pain in the area I was previously stabbed.“Fucking gosh! Can today get any worse for me?” I hushed, dropping gently to the ground. I knew it was madly drenched but, brushing my palm over my abdomen, I felt liquid gushing out. Not only that, but I moved my hand up to have a closer look; I discovered I was bleeding profusely. For the love of the moon, what the f*** am I supposed to do…!I can't go anywher
