Hera's POV

I sniff again as I enter my room and head for the bathroom to wash my face.

I watch the water run from the tap for a while as I calculate how I'll be able to get into the study and look for the blueprint of the palace.

I could lie to Alpha Hugh that I want to read and have the opportunity to search for it… If there's no one there with me which I hope will be the case.

I join my palms and fetch from the water then I rinse my face and I repeat until my skin feels rough from the continuous pouring of the cold water over my face.

I sigj to myself as I lock the tap and take a face towel to clean my face and the little tendrils of my red hair that got into my face and made contact with the water too.

Once I’m done, I hang the face towel back and head for the room to make myself look more presentable than sad with baggy eyes from crying. So I check the drawers in the vanity stand and there are a few stuff I can use for the makeup.

I check them and they don’t look old so I figure

    CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVENHera's POVI still can't believe it. Madam Lucy is also a spy. How many others are there then? If she can put up with being a spy for this long? Then how many others are there?“You're working for him too?” I remember asking her with wide eyes and she waves at me before she scoffs.“I'm the oldest spy that's been working for Alpha Luggard ever since he became Alpha. He let me go for some crime I committed and this is my way of paying him back... I've been a spy for him from the start and it's easy. I just have to collect things from him and deliver them to other spies stationed in the pack” she replies and I can't even speak as I just look at her.Were these people brainwashed or did they just choose to be stupid? How can they just choose to be used by the Alpha and call it payback for a single kind act of his that he didn't even do for free? Alpha Luggard is indeed the worst.I just swallowed and smiled at her. Saying anything to convince her that she was just ge

    CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHTAlpha Hugh's POVI'm happy. Full of contentment and I'm almost giving in to the strong urge to scream out loud at my room balcony later tonight but I know I won't. I don't want to seem like a madman... It won't be good for my image as Alpha but then… I also don't care what the subjects of Silvercrest pack think of me. As long as I'm making life easy for them in this pack, they have no right to badmouth me or think anything degrading of me.We're all still seated in the dining room and I'm staring at the spot where Krystal locked Mr. Cameron with her magic when he wanted to attack me. The man actually thought he had the chance of hitting me. If only he knew beforehand that I also have a witch as a subordinate, then maybe he would respect me more but then that doesn’t matter now because he now shivers in fear for me and I’m sure that just the mention of my name will make goosebumps rush up his skin as he shakes in fright.I smile at that thought and I remember how K

    CHAPTER TWENTY-NINEHera's POVI am back there again and this time, it is so cold and the atmosphere feels different… It feels like evil lurks there and they have just been waiting for me all along so they'll torture me like they do in my head. Only that this time, I am here in person so it would be easier for these voices to poison my mind with wicked words in person.The carcasses and skeletons of dead people that were killed in the Fang pack are in a pile in my front. The empty skull eyes stare at me and it's like I can see hate in them even though they are void of any emotions. Fire starts from nowhere and the skeletons and skulls begin to burn before I start to hear screams and cries of pain from nowhere. I quickly sit up from my lying position and I place my hands over my ears to block the sound but nothing works and I feel like I'm about to lose my mind once again.“You killed us, you should be dead too, you coward! You didn't help that day. You ran away like the weakling that

    Hera’s POVI can see the excitement on everyone’s faces as they go back to eating their breakfast and I can’t help but wonder who this mysterious Mr. Donovan McFlurry is and I also wonder why my parents didn't let me know about him when they were still alive and the Fang pack existed.Seeing how good everyone's mood suddenly is, I see it as a good opportunity to ask Alpha Hugh to let me into the palace's study under the guise of reading books. There's no way he can tell me no for such a simple and innocent request because I don't have that much time to be having fun around when I have to find the blueprint and study the soldier's routine and positions before my one month will be elapsed. I eat the great of my breakfast in silence and the maids come in to get the plates once we're all done. Then Felix and Sebastian leave for the training ground to supervise soldiers as they train and exercise. Krystal heads for her room to get ready for work while Alpha decides to stay back for the da

    CHAPTER THIRTY-ONEAlpha Hugh's POVI check the clock and it reads 2:16am. The whole work I did in the study really took my time and even Hera fell asleep while waiting for me that I had to carry her up to her room. I almost have in bringing her to my room but I knew she would want that so I just did what was right and now what I wanted.She was acting suspicious though. How she kept on going back and forth with just one book in hand until it was nightfall and how she kept asking if I was done so I would have a good rest. It was like she wanted to be left alone in the study and I couldn’t help but wonder why she would want me to leave so she’ll be alone in the study.I shrug to myself and make my way to the bathroom to take a quick shower before I go to bed then I begin to hear the loud howling of a wolf just outside the palace. It sounds more like it is a wounded wolf and I am alert immediately because it doesn’t sound like the cry call for help that our guards use… it sounds like a

    CHAPTER THIRTY TWOAlpha Hugh's POVI couldn't sleep, the night wore on and on and I just kept on tossing and turning in bed until I saw the rays of the morning sun creep in through the window. I sigh to myself as I place an arm over my forehead while staring at the ceiling and many thoughts run through my mind. My suspicions on Hera, Isaac who was caught last night and figuring out how best to torture him and make him confess to everything, and how I'm still pissed that I couldn't sleep a wink all through the night.I sigh again as I turn to my left side and face the window. My eyes are feeling heavy but I have to be up for the day so I decide to get up and get ready. I get down from my bed and take a minute to stretch my body before I head to the bathroom where I have my teeth brushed. Then I take my bath and I dress up in a pair of black big T-shirts and knee-length shorts before I leave my room for the dining room without checking on Hera as I pass her room by.I get to the dini

    CHAPTER THIRTY-THREEHera's POV “Um, I'm not sure about that. I may feel queasy at the sight of blood” I tell them, hoping that I'll have my way out of this tight situation but Krystal only shakes her head at me.“You're the Luna Hera. You have to get used to seeing such things if you want to be a strong and feared leader. The sight of blood shouldn't make you feel queasy” she insists and I drop my cutlery immediately.“I don't think I'm ready for that yet,” I tell her with a much firmer voice and I move to leave the dining room but then I feel hands on my shoulder and when I look, it's Alpha Hugh.I stare at him in disbelief as he gently squeezes my shoulder before he comes over to stand before me then he goes on one knee and he takes my hands before looking at me again.“I'll be there with you Hera. Just trust me okay… And if you can't keep up with it, just let me know and I'll take you back to your room immediately” he persuades me with those eyes that always melt my insides and t

    Hera's POVThe scene is still playing in my head and it's hard to get it out after I wake up and find myself in the infirmary with Alpha Hugh beside me. How Isaac kept on begging them to stop torturing him but they wouldn't, how he passed out after all the magic torturing and whipping and electrocution and still managed to wake up later on when he regained consciousness.I can't help but wish he didn't have to spy for Alpha Luggard in the first place because I'm sure they would have gotten news of how he has been caught and then he would kill his family. Innocent people that I'm sure also wished he didn't do such a dirty and risky job for the Alpha that doesn't care about anyone. Now their lives are going to be taken from them for someone else's mistake.I sit quietly on the bed in the infirmary, my back against the wall as the scene keeps on replaying and torturing me in my head. I was so close to exposing myself when I couldn't take how they were torturing him again but then I remem

    Hera's POVI'm still laying on the floor with Alpha Hugh and he seems to be losing a lot of blood from where the bullet grazed him so with a lot of struggle, I help him up to his feet so we'll go down and get help quickly before he loses too much blood and loses his consciousness.“Let's just try and get down, then we'll get help and you'll be fine,” I tell him and he grunts in reply.“Don't worry, it isn't too serious Hera, I'll be fine” he says to assure me but I don't listen to his words as I keep leading us downstairs.We hear footsteps approaching and I quickly reach for the gun in my pocket in case it's a Bluemoon pack guard but the person comes closer and it turns out to be Krystal who was coming toward us.We grin at each other once we see each other and a new wave of joy and relief takes over me and it settles on me that Alpha Luggard is actually dead and gone for good.

    CHAPTER SEVENTYHera's POVI'm still in a state of shock, still finding it hard to comprehend how people could easily give up their lives for one person that doesn't even care about them. It irks me to know how much power that Alpha Luggard has over the minds of his spies that he’s stationed and it angers me to know that they willingly let him manipulate them until they couldn’t even think for themselves anymore.I remember Isaac and how my long speech of convincing him didn’t work until he was caught and killed and he didn’t even give the name of any other spy while I cowered in fear of possibly getting exposed. If only I knew how hard minded they all were thanks to Alpha Luggard and his perfect manipulation.I sigh again as I sit in the car beside Hugh who’s driving and he holds our already linked fingers tighter while he spares me a glance from time to time to see how I’m doing.“That bastard, Luggard. I’m going to make him feel so sorry for ruining people’s lives as he dies” I say

I smile to myself as I look up at his face to see that he's still asleep. Then the alarm rings again and he stirs in his sleep before he opens his eyes dizzily and looks down at me. I maintain eye contact with him and we remain like that for a while before a smile spreads slowly on his face and I feel my insides tingle due to how adorable he looks.“Good morning” he says and I take his hand and kiss his knuckles.“Good morning my Alpha” I greet him back before I sit up on the bed and he follows to do the same.“Hope you had a good night” he asks and I nod gingerly in response while he smiles and kisses me on my forehead.“So, are you ready for today?” I ask him, since we’re going to go after the spies that Alpha Hugh planted in the pack and he nods in response.“Of course, now we can get those that want to destroy my pack and end them” he says then h

    Luca’s POVI was still in a state of shock when we arrived at the Silvercrest pack. I was still finding it hard to believe that I just ditched my pack and Alpha and if it weren't for Alpha Hugh who accepted me right from when I was willing to help them, I would be a rogue by now.I betrayed my Alpha so there is no way that he would forgive me or even think of taking me back because that is an irreversible act that I did and even if I had the chance to do it again, I would do it.That's how much Alpha Luggard infuriates me.Still hurting from my leg that I got hit when I and Hera were trying to escape and we fought with the guards, I start to limp when I get down from the van as we arrive at the pack and I see Alpha Hugh carrying Hera who's now asleep inside.I still feel sorry for her for how she had to watch her little brother die helplessly and how she couldn't even get his body due to the situation.I know it must be hurting her as hell but I know she's strong and with all of us by

I'm stuck to a spot and that makes it more frustrating for me that I can't do anything to save him.Suddenly, I find that I'm back at the moment when I was about to save Mark.

I betrayed my Alpha and you just destroyed his right arm so we're both in deep shit.

I came all this way for my brother, I went through all those things just to keep him safe so he has to be fine for it all to pay off. He's the only family I have left so he has to be fine because I can't afford to lose him, I'll never forgive myself.Minutes turn into an hour and there's still nothing from Reece to confirm that they've gotten out of the pack safely.From the time I estimated for everything to happen, they're meant to be out of the pack by now.

Just a vast and plain ashy ground with carcasses of skeletons scattered around as I walk on endlessly with no end of the place in sight.I begin to feel tired so I take a seat and soon, I lay down to sleep and I'm sucked into another nightmare.This time, it's new because I'm in a dark room with nothing in sight and I've never seen myself here before.I quickly stand up once I begin to hear noises and when I look to my left, I catch the shadow of someone walking around but I don't see anybody.“Who's there?” I call out but there's no reply so I repeat the same thing again and to my shock, it's my mother that I see.I freeze when I see her and tears cloud my eyes when she smiles at me before pulling me into a hug and I hug her back immediately.“I'm so sorry mum, I wish I did something that day to save all of you, they were just so many” I begin to apologize and she shu

Reece moves to face them and fights them off if they try to attack us but I quickly hold him by the wrist to pull him back because this place isn't the same as the pack we just left. They would kill him without giving him a chance to speak.He looks at me and I just subtly nod so he gets me and he stands beside me without a word, waiting for me to take the next step now.“I'm here to see the Alpha, I was sent on a mission and I'm back now,” I tell them but they don't budge.
