Miimii’s POVThe complete darkness that had engulfed my mind after my body went limp with the shock it’d experienced began to fade away and give way to light slowly. And as the darkness faded away further, I began to feel my body move to get accustomed to the environment I was in, but to no avail.I felt the softest silk sheets my skin had ever touched rubbing against my back and the surface I was on felt so comfortable that I could swear it was made from the pure wool of a thousand sheep. I tried to adjust further and rest a bit because my head still hurt a bit from the fall I’d experienced, but the foreign feeling of extreme comfort bugged me more than I thought it would.In no time I was rubbing my eyes slowly and trying to adjust to the lighting of the room as I opened my eyes gently and eased into it. The first thing I noticed was the strong back of a man that wasn't facing me and how his arms flexed brilliantly as he kind of struggled to fold something.I didn't know why, but I
Miimii’s POVI walked down the hallway that led to the maid's quarter with a certain spin to my walking steps and I tried without any success to conceal the immense feeling of excitement I felt. My legs couldn't hold my body and my mind couldn't contain how overwhelmingly happy I’d been feeling since I left Reid’s room.My nerves had almost gotten the better of me when he first asked because I’d immediately thought of bolting when he’d asked me to be his date to the ball. But like he’d seemed to be doing the entire time that we were together, he’d predicted the hesitation I felt and assured me that it was okay to reject his offer.While he might’ve been correct about my hesitation, he was absolutely wrong to have assumed that I’d turn his handsome ass down.“Curse words, he said just one and he’s rubbing off on you already?” My wolf teases me while trying to hide how hard her tail was wagging from the same excitement I felt concerning being Reid’s date to the ball.“Shhh, you absolute
Lustre’s POVMiimii’s endless gushing about Reid was probably the purest and most beautiful reaction I’d ever witnessed since I arrived at Hell’s Hall and I loved being a beneficiary of her excitement. She had twirled, squealed, danced, and bounced around at different intervals since she stepped into our room less than an hour ago.I mean, anyone who’d ever seen Reid near Miimii would know that they both oozed some form of sexual tension even without speaking to each other. I’d always known that whatever attraction they felt for each other would morph into something substantial eventually, but it happened sooner than I’d expected it to.Even now, Miimii was laying on the bed and dreamily looking at the ceiling while she explained how she might’ve just wished her entire life into existence and Reid was the most beautiful man she’d ever lain her eyes on— yeah, she’d referred to him as beautiful.“You know Lustre, he was just as nervous.....” My mind trailed off again, as it had been doi
Fleki’s POVMy strides to the elder’s room were longer than usual because it’d been a while since she’d requested my presence in her chambers, especially since she seemed to prefer Lustre’s company better these days. “Everyone can smell your stench of jealousy, it's not a good one on you” My wolf snorted teasingly and I simply shook my head instead of dignifying his tease with a response.I wasn’t sure if it bothered me that she spent so much time with Lustre recently, but I could only hope that she wasn't doing it because she thought what we had was more than what it was— one between a powerful alpha and one of his favorite whores among the harem he’d gathered over the years. I brushed the thought away and reluctantly focused my mind on the hallway I was turning into that led me to my destination.In good time, I’d made it to the elder’s chambers and I proceeded to knock on her door softly, hoping faithfully that she’d answer on the first knock for once. After a few seconds of dead
Lustre's POVEverywhere I turned, someone was bumping into me with some shit they'd procured for the ball or my ears were being bled out with gossip and musings about the ball and who'd be present. It was just as tiring as it was annoying, and I truly hoped that it would come to an end soon.The last few days that led up to the ball had been filled with several preparations in full swing and a noisy environment, day in and out. From the preparations that were being made, you'd know that the ball would accommodate men of valor and be the talk of Silvercrest for weeks to come after it had been held.However, that did nothing to fuel my enthusiasm because I never fantasized about princess dresses and balls when I could be much more— a woman in power who'd continue to bring unworthy men to their knees, and that title was much more satisfying than being at a man's side as his trophy.And I had a feeling that was all Alpha Fleki intended for me to be by making me his date to the ball. Of co
LUSTREWhen I woke up to the evening of the ball, courtesy of Miimii's singing that had filled the room— I couldn't help the groan that escaped my lips as I stretched lazily. For a while, I just sat still in bed and stared at Miimii as she moved around and got both our outfits ready as well as the makeup we'd wear.How could anyone be filled with so much energy? I wondered as I watched her sway happily from one corner of our room to another.I'd fallen asleep because I wanted to desperately escape from the doom I was bound to experience at the ball and yet time had been dragging the entire day. Yet, Miimii's enthusiasm that had choked me since the day started hadn't dwindled in the hour and a half that I fell asleep for."Are you ready to get dolled up, Lu?!" she practically hummed when she finally noticed that I was awake.I had to admit, she had the most adorable nickname for me I'd ever heard and her contagious floating energy was my favorite thing about her. Yet, right now I dread
REIDThe clacking shoes on the floor of the halls, as I watched people say from side to side on the dance floor with their partners, made my throat close with jealousy. I wished dearly to be in their stead, to be dancing with Miimii and to hold her in my arms and guide her steps as we danced, to swirl her around and whip her back up into my arms.But of all that was most likely going to remain a fantasy, and nothing more.Worst of all was the fact that I’d not been able to find Miimii since I got to the ball and I was increasingly getting antsy. I’d arrived at the ball unusually early because I needed to greet the Alphas that were in attendance on Alpha Fleki’s behalf until he decided to waltz in at a fashionably late hour to continue with the formalities of greeting the Alphas.I’d not expected her to arrive as early as I did but I’d hoped that she would be no more than an hour late if she delayed. At some point, I had contemplated sending a guard to fetch her but I figured she’d thi
REIDA warmth that could pass as an angel’s touch passed through my spine as my wolf strengthened our link and I knew exactly what he’d been referring toIt was the peace that came with Miimii’s presence, one that we’d never experienced because we’d been troubled for as long as we could remember. I’d personally felt a calmness around her that was impossible to describe, asides from my wolf having drawn my attention to the fact that he felt it as well.She was like a sail that kept a ship afloat amidst a heavy storm, and I would never get tired of being in her presence. I didn't sever the link that my wolf had intensified just yet as I basked in the peace she brought us while I still watched her drown herself in various colors of macarons.“Do you like them that much?” I asked her as she picked up a green one and examined it closely like she wasn't going to drop the entire thing in her mouth the very next second.“Come over here, you need to try one of these because that's not a questi
Lustre’s POVMy heart dipped as I saw Alpha Fleki, the worst possible person that I could’ve bumped into while I was running for my life. “Miimii, please excuse us. I’d like to be alone with Lustre” He told her and my throat went dry immediately.Was it part of his grand scheme to kill me in a locked room were my chances of escape were slimmer?“Okay, Alpha” Miimii responded but her eyes met mine, and I gave her a pleading look so that she wouldn't leave me behind to face death.Still, she bowed and left the room without acknowledging my subtle cries for help.I’d wanted to begin my pleas for mercy, but before I could utter a word he’d crashed his lips into mine and pulled me into the tightest embrace I’d ever experienced. Shock had disoriented most parts of my body while Alpha Fleki kissed me senselessly without stopping to breath until my lips felt numb.A while later, he pulled away and cupped my face in his palms and looked into my eyes so longingly that I thought I was hallucina
Miimii’s POVMy hands rubbed Lustre’s hair as I watched her lay still as she had everyday for the past two weeks despite the countless visits from the physician and how much I’d been tending to her. I was almost always with her so I’d barely even had enough time to spend with Reid since we’d officially began our relationship.Yes, Reid had pulled together the sweetest girlfriend proposal after they’d marked their latest victory and regained the respect and fear of all the packs in Silvercrest. I’d never forget how he’d pulled me away at midnight to the rooftop where we’d shared our first kiss.The entire rooftop had been decorated beautifully with several paintings he’d made of me, the fact that he’d put that much effort had brought me to tears even before he popped the question. It took a while for me to regain my composure before we’d shared some wine and a simple meal he’d prepared himself for us.Toward the end of the meal, he’d reached underneath the table and brought out a blank
Chapter 133Fleki’s POVThe whole of Silvercrest has gathered to respect the orders I’d sent out that every person must be present to witness the brutal execution of the assholes that’d dared to go against me. It’d be the event of the century, one that’d go down in the history books as an unforgettable act of vengeance.In the same fashion that I’d been treated when I was being held prisoner in Luca’s palace, I’d hung him and his biggest co-conspirator Luna upside down from iron bars and bound them in silver chains that’d been laced with wolfsbane to burn their flesh and cause them pain till their dying minute.The other bastards that’d teamed up with him either as his advisors or his guards that’d acted as his muscle were lined up on their knees with their necks bound in the same wolfsbane laced chains as they waited for their execution as well.I stood on a podium that hovered over everyone that was in attendance in the open field I’d chosen for the execution and looked into the cro
Fleki’s POVThat reminded me of a crucial detail that’d aid my plan to make him pay.Lotus powder, he said?Well, well, well.Lustre hadn’t betrayed me like I’d assumed all this while, I’d sworn on my life to make sure that she met a lowly and horrific death that was fit for a manipulative and lying woman. But instead, I’d just learnt that she’d been willing to put her life on the line for me and she’d even still lied to him about my weakness to save me.While I’d have hated her until I dragged my very last breath, I was still well aware that she didn't owe me enough loyalty to use what might’ve been her last breath to fight against the deadly effects of an overdose on hallucinogens just a she could tell a convincing lie about my weakness.But I’d be eternally grateful to her for doing so now that I knew.The Lotus powder she’d given up was primarily a regenerating agent that made me incredibly weak while it took root in my wolf’s senses. Ultimately, it was meant to make me even stron
Fleki’s POVI’d always been a stranger ro weakness since I’d been bestowed with unimaginable power from the ancestors, so continuously feeling weak and helpless for the past few hours made had drained my spirits more than ever.The worst part was that I couldn't even reach out to my wolf for support because he was even more weaker than I’d been since the powder directly affected him and I was only feeling the after effects of losing the immense strength he usually supplied me with.I watched the conniving idiot Luca pace the dungeon we were in because he couldn't contain his excitement from defeating the most powerful Alpha of his time. My anger that’d formed a rock hard ball in my chest and my throat felt like it’d implode within me and cause me to burst from inside out the more I watched him.Suddenly, I’d began to feel the one thing I’d thought I’d never feel again.My wolf’s power surge.To my utter surprise, my wolf’s powers had began to erupt slowly from within and I felt as it
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
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
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
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
