Author's POVLilith could not believe what Ariana had offered to her on a platter of gold. Perhaps, Ariana was not as smart as she had thought and had fallen for her act, she smiled inwardly as she thought of how best to use this opportunity presented to her. Erasmus will be damn proud of her, she needed Ariana to fall completely into her trap, and by the time she realizes just how much she was hated, it would be too late because she would have carried out her plans and destroyed the pack Right now, she just needed to look for the right opportunity to give Dylan the elixir so that he would be totally under her control.There were whispers as soon as Dylan got to the festival with Lilith, news had reached other packs that the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack had a new mate but they were not too sure how true it was.How could he choose an Omega over his beautiful and powerful wife who risked everything just to be with him? He could have just rejected this mate and kept on with his wife bu
Ariana's POV "Can I have the next dance?" I heard a voice say as soon as the music stopped and I turned to see the Alpha of the Red Moon pack standing behind me.Dylan frowned and I knew he was going to kick the ass of the Alpha that made such a request but before he could say anything, I smiled at the Alpha, "of course" I replied and placed my hand in his.Red Moon pack was one of the strongest packs in the werewolf's kingdom and this was a great opportunity for me to make him an ally, I needed to know those that I could rely on when I sent for themDylan's face was thunderous, he was not too pleased having his Luna in another man's arms, well, he would have to deal with it because what I was doing was for the betterment of our pack.I swayed in the arms of the Alpha of Red Moon pack and he drew me close to him, "you look beautiful tonight" I arched my brow at him as we moved synthetically to the rhythm of the song, "you mean pitiable right? Not beautiful" I replied, testing the wa
Lilith's POVI watched as Dylan finally came downstairs to join in the pack's festival celebration, he had left me at the council's celebration without a second thought and I had to find my way back to the pack.If I did not hate him so much, I would have said that I admired how much he loves his wife, I could say that I was almost jealous of the kind of bond that they both shared, not even the thought that I was also his mate could alter that bond but then, I was furious because their bond was really messing up with my plans and Erasmus was beginning to get agitated and impatient with me.My heart soared when I saw that he was coming downstairs alone, that meant his wife would not be hovering around him like a vulture and messing up my plans.The celebration was ongoing and there was dancing, drinking, and dining in the pack, this was my opportunity to add the elixir to his drink and finally have him eating out of my palms. I quickly poured his favorite French wine into a glass, and
Ariana's POV I stretched lazily and could not stop the smile that sprang to my lips as my last escapade with Dylan filtered through my mind.I touched Dylan's side of the bed but he was nowhere to be found, I slowly dressed up and went downstairs.The loud cheers and music that filled the air reminded me that the festival was still ongoing, it was way past midnight and I was sure that those pack of wolves was going to be there until dawnI sighted Dylan seated at the head of his table, enjoying his drink while watching those dancing and cheering, I smiled and made my way toward him"I see that you are enjoying yourself," I said and placed my hands on his shoulders with a small kiss on his cheek"Ariana," he said but made no move whatsoever to return my kiss, he did not seem happy to see me and I frowned"What's wrong?" I asked, puzzled by his odd behavior"Nothing, I am tired and need my rest" he stood up and walked away"What the hell just happened? Why was he suddenly acting cold t
Author's POV "What the hell did you just do?" Dylan screamed at Sam and dashed towards Ariana'she said that was the only way to bring your back""Bring me back from where? Dylan asked as he tried to stop the flow of blood"Let's get her treated first then I'll tell you everything""I'll go and get your husband," Dylan said standing to leave"That's not possible" Sam quickly grabbed his hand to keep him from going outDylan frowned at her impatiently, Look, despite you being my sister-in-law, I should be punishing you for this""Calm down Dylan, first of all, Damien is not available, secondly, you cannot let anyone know about what happened here and lastly, I need you here to help or I might lose a sister and you, a wife. After all, it's your fault that this happened to her"Dylan stared at her in bewilderment, "hang on, how is this my fault? You stabbed her""She asked me to" Samantha replied curtly as she tore Ariana's clothes to view the wound"She asked you to stab her and you jus
Author's POV Damien opened his eyes and groaned in pain, "where am I?" He whispered as he stared around, damn, he was not supposed to go unconscious.He sat up and groaned a little, damn it, he was in so much pain and he had been in and out of this excruciating pain for God knows how long, his head was pounding furiously, "damn you and your wizard Lilith" he muttered and gazed around for anything that he could use to boost himself to a standing position. He felt so weak and his bones cracked in pain as he pushed himself up, he had to get out of there, he hadn't even learned anything about the staff that Ariana spoke about.The room where he was kept was empty and he wondered if the wizard was close by or if he had gone out, he hoped for the latter because right now, he was too weak to fight He slowly moved towards the door but as expected, it was locked from the outside, he placed his ear on the door, listening for sound from the other end but heard none, it would seem like Erasmus
Author's POVLilith dashed towards Erasmus's house, she could not wait to tell him the news about her success, by tomorrow, the Blood Moon pack would no longer existShe paused when she got there and saw him screaming angrily outside, something must have upset him this much and she ran the remaining distance toward him"Master, are you okay?" She asked with a worried frown as she gazed around to see what might have upset him this much"Is the deed done?" he asked and turned towards her"Yes, Erasmus, the wedding is set for tomorrow and we shall attack by then, the contract will be signed by then"He narrowed his eyes on her, "the contract has not been signed? What the hell are you still waiting for since you have him under your control""He got sick when he was about to sign it earlier and...""Excuses...I don't care about it, get him to sign it tonight" he clenched out and gazed at her meaningfully, "unless, you have developed a soft spot for him""No way in hell, that will ever happ
Lilith gazed around the crowd that had gathered for her supposed wedding with Dylan and was surprised to see the Lycan king and some Alphas from other packs, who had invited them? Were they expecting this wedding? She had proposed the wedding to Dylan only yesterday and it was solely her idea, he would not have had the time to invite them right? There was barely any preparation done.Her nerves were almost frayed with nervousness already and she was so tensed but today was the day she and Erasmus had planned to take over the pack and nothing could stop them. If the Lycan king and the others want to be at the party, then they are welcomed.Where the hell was Dylan? He had asked her to go out while he got the contract, what was taking him so long? Erasmus and his soldiers were set already.
