Lustre’s POVMy hands ran through Miimii’s soft brown strands of hair as I tilted her head to the aide gently and began another French braid as she yapped happily about the bundle.of flowers Reid had delivered to our chambers for her earlier that morning.“I mean. I've never seen these flowers before in the kingdom, they used to grow in my home town when I was a child and I loved them!” She gushed as she sniffed a rare pale purple flower she’d called a ‘Debbie’.“I’d never have pegged Reid as such a thoughtful man, you really did a number on him, I'm sure it was all you” I told her sincerely as I divided my focus between her and the braid.“Eh, we make each other so much better” She moved her head happily and shook my balance which slightly annoyed me.“I hope he'll accept you with a lopsided braid when you see him later since you can't sit right for a minute,” I steadied her head and picked up my pace in finishing the braid.Before she could get a defensive word out, we heard a knock
Luna’s POVFrom the day Alpha Fleki pursued me from his premises without regard for my emotions and treated me like commoner, the only thing that has propelled me to live through day after day was my unquenchable thirst for vengeance against him.A venomous fire burned within me and I was certain that the only thing that’d quench it would be when I finally succeeded in exerting my revenge against him once and for all. I’d invested so much valuable time and resources into ensuring that we’d end up together, and he’d barely put in any effort while I practically wiped the floor with my dignity and everything I had to offer in hopes that he’d realize how deserving I was of the position as lady of hell’s hall.But that fucking emotionless bastard had frustrated all of my efforts no matter what I’d done to remain by his side. I could admit that I’d been a fool to expect that I’d eventually win him over, but he was even bigger fool to think that I’d not double those efforts just to see him f
Fleki’s POVThe alarms in my head had been ringing in full swing for the days that followed after I’d picked a fight with Luca, despite that fact that he’d deserved every blow I’d thrown at him on that day. The spineless asshole might’ve been the one person I’d derived the most satisfaction from roughing up because he had a huge ego which his feeble strength didn't match when I was his opponent.Without a doubt, I didn't regret how I’d lunged at him and thrown the first blow, and even at my deathbed I wouldn't regret that I’d clearly made an attempt to kill him. If Reid hadn't stepped in exactly when he did, I’d have ripped his heart out in the seconds that followed and I’d still be reeling with contentment from taking his worthless life.Why then were the alarms going off in my head? As much as Luca was a silly excuse of a leader on his path, he was still recognized as an Alpha of the Silvercrest packs and protected by all the rights that came with that recognition— unlike me. This
Lustre’s POVI gasped playfully as Alpha Fleki’s hand landed on my ass while I’d bent over to pick my beaded scrunchy that’d landed on the floor because I’d been laughing so hard at the fact that I’d outdone him in sit ups in the training session we’d just returned from.“You’re such a sore loser, you know that?” I laughed again while I pulled my hair back into a ponytail with my scrunchy.I rose to my feet but before I could take a step away from him, he pulled me to himself and I landed on his laps.“You’re lucky you're so beautiful, I’d have had you punished for flaunting your win in my face so much” He’d turned me to face him and his hand was rubbing my jaw sweetly.I smiled, because I’d gotten lost staring into his deeply expressive eyes.“Yeah? At least I’m getting away with it” I placed my hand over his where it’d moved to on my left cheek.He chuckled lightly and I took note of another favorite thing of his that made my heart flutter, the deep raspy laughter that made his ches
For days, my heart had been facing the gravest turmoil it’d ever been presented with and it always left me confused and unsettled as to how I’d finally still the storm within it without ruining the unbelievably beautiful relationship that had budded between myself and Alpha Fleki. The mission that I’d slaved for and sworn to give my all had finally been completed when I wasn't willing to raise a finger, when I was having the time of my life being adored and respected as a woman should be— and now, I was horribly torn between betraying Alpha Fleki or leaving Alpha Luca in the dark. My heart yearned to remain at Alpha Fleki’s side.But what did my heart know? In my guts I was well aware of the fact that Alpha Luca wouldn't sit idly and give me months to drag on the mission when he’d already grown impatient a number of times, and the last time he’d gone an extra mile to send me a death threat. I knew that if I gave him more reasons to lose sleep over the completion of my mission, he’d
Chapter 128 Lustre’s POVAlpha Luca’s and Luna’s eyes were trained on me as I momentarily froze beside the fallen vase and my heart thumped wickedly as I realized that I’d been caught right when I’d made a decision to return to Alpha Fleki without being spotted. The look on Luna’s face was that of someone that’d been paralyzed with unthinkable shock from seeing me in Alpha Luca’s palace, one that made her neglect covering up her nakedness while her eyes bulged out as they remained fixed on me.Alpha Luca’s shock on the other hand was one that was borne from that fact that I’d been sneaking around, and I could see that his shock was quickly morphing into anger from how his eyes had began to darken as he watched me.But on the plus side, he was still undressed so I knew I had to take my chances to leave before he could manage to cover up.Without thinking for a second longer, I turned on the balls of my feet and began to run like I’d never before, because my life and everything that I
Fleki’s POV I halted and flexed my wrist to relive it of the tension it’d held from how I’d jumped right into signing documents just after lifting weights for hours in the training room that’d put a strain on it. After I felt a few bones crack in place, I dived back into signing them while I thought of the busy day ahead. Sadly, I’d been informed by the head matron at breakfast that Lustre was absent from her food serving duties because she was running an important errand. Knowing that she wouldn't be back until much later in the evening, I was a tad disappointed that she’d not be available to ease the after effects of my busy day with her presence.Before I could swing deeper into.thoughts of Lustre, I began to hear voices outside my door that signaled that two people were arguing.“No ma'am, you can’t enter the Alpha’s chambers without being sent for” My personal chamber guard’s voice said in a tone that hinted frustration.Ma'am? Who could it be? “You disrespectful swine, how da
Fleki’s POVThe darkness that’d clouded my eyes had began to fade slowly, but I secretly wished that I’d remain one with the darkness. I hated the reality I’d be forced to be live through if I actually woke up completely, but my wishes hadn't stopped the darkness from giving way for light to filter in.I’d now fully regained consciousness and all my joints ached like hell and I winced in pain as I struggled to open my eyes. It’d felt like a weight that was double my size was attached to my shoulders and my brain felt incredibly fuzzy. Painfully, I finally forced my eyes open and at first I’d thought that my weakness was making me see things because everything was upside down, but I soon realize that I’d been hung upside down from iron bars and I was bound tightly with chains.Just then, Luca’s face covered my entire view and I almost threw up at the mere sight of him.“Oh, how the mighty hath fallen” He laughed loudly in my face that some bits of his spit had hit my face and made my
