The Rogue’s Little Plaything 78
Fleki’s POVThe incessant bird chirps that reminded one of daybreak began to fill my ears slowly as I sleepily moved in my bed. I pulled a pillow over my eyes instead of getting up immediately and cursed the birds for choosing to ruin the lovely rest I’d been enjoying.As much as I’d hated that I was being woken up, I felt oddly relaxed and that's why I wanted to be lured back to sleep. It had felt so good to not be awoken by a bead of sweat or by a minor noise in my room that wouldn't have startled a normal person.I’d also noticed that rays of sunshine had also trickled past my curtains and made their way into the room. This was a usual rite of passage for many persons that were awoken at normal hours of the morning, but for someone like myself who was usually awake before the sun rose, it was extremely odd that I’d awoken to an already risen sun on this day.Still, I lay in my bed and held on to the pillow I’d previously used to cover my eyes as I enjoyed the thought of having had

Lustre’s POVTheatrics had never been my strong suit, and I never enjoyed being in the middle of it —or even worse— being the cause of it. Despite that, the night of the ball had placed me in a gravely uncomfortable situation that I couldn't tear my eyes away from.I was more than certain that Alpha Luca had decided to use the fact that he’d only approached me to compliment my beauty to ensure that Alpha Fleki didn't have any suspicions concerning me. As emotionally daft and immature as Alpha Luca could be, he wasn't one to throw the possible results of a mission we’d been running for months out the window just to satisfy his ego’s needs.So, of course, he took the fall for both of us and got on Alpha Fleki’s nerves to completely take the spotlight off of me. As much as my nerves still left me in an unrecognizable state where I could only stare at the scene before me, I was a tad bit grateful that Alpha Fleki barged in right before Alpha Luca was able to have his way with me.I knew w

Lustre’s POVEvery failure is truly a blessing in disguise because I’d realized that my failure to get on my feet because of how sore I’d been, had now turned into an avenue for a breakthrough in my mission since Alpha Fleki had seen it fit to invite me to sleep in his bed for the night.While I practically limped and supported myself by placing a hand on the walls as I went back to Alpha Fleki’s chambers, a brilliant idea had taken root in my mind. I’d decided that there was no more perfect opportunity than the one I’d just gotten to be in his space while he slept.I knew that after the events at the ball she the humiliation that Alpha Luca had had to swallow in so that he wouldn't sabotage our mission, he’d require tangible information to calm his nerves and finally retaliate by taking advantage of Alpha Fleki’s weaknesses.So, to placate him, I’d decided that instead of sleeping all through the night at Alpha Fleki’s side, I’d much rather snatch this rare opportunity to snoop aroun

Lustre’s POVAs I walked into our chambers with Miimii excitedly at my tail, I said a prayer to get out of our chambers before she’d saw my ear off with takes of every single detail about how her night at the ball with Reid had gone. Just then, she shut the door of our chambers behind her and plopped on the bed with her signature huge ass smile slapped across her adorable face.“He was everything! And I mean it, everything!” She began with a dreamy look on her face that I recognized from the countless other times she’d spoke to me about literally anything that was related to Reid.“Yeah, I bet he was” I simply remarked as I sat beside her and began counting down the minutes this discussion would take in the sanctity of my mind.“I mean, we danced at the ball for what seemed like hours, and it was so perfect. The way his hands wrapped around my waist, the way he was gentle with me.... ughhh” She held my arm and squeaked excitedly as she reminisced her fond memories of Reid from the nig

Fleki’s POV“What in the fucking world?” I didn't recognize my voice as I asked a question it seemed no one had an answer to.My heart had stopped the moment I’d seen the reason for Lustre’s shrill scream earlier, I ascertain that my soul had departed from the rest of my being from the wicked waves of shock that pulled at every fragment of my body as I stood and my eyes rested on the elder’s lifeless body.I had no idea when I dropped weakly to my knees because my body couldn't process the amount of mind shattering pain that had been reverberating through every vein and nerve in my body. How on earth did I just lose the most precious person to me in the world under my very nose? I didn't want to come to terms with the fact that she was truly gone.I threw my head back and my wolf let out a loud and agonizing howl because of the ache we’d both been feeling, and I was certain that it had echoed through the entire expanse of hell’s hall but I didn't give a fuck about that. “What fucking

Reid’s POVGrief was never an easy feat for anyone, but for someone like Alpha Fleki who’d always ran away from his emotions and processing feelings because he saw them as a sign of weakness, it was even harder for him to deal with the grief he felt from the elder’s sudden passing. One thing I knew for sure was that everyone in hell’s hall felt shaken by her death to an extent, but it was even more for people that’d been opportune to experience her warmth and wisdom more closely than others. This had thrown the entire hell’s hall into a deep state of mourning that we’d never experienced as we sought to honor her memories.However, I badly wanted to ease some of the hurt Alpha Fleki was now carrying, and I knew that empty words of consolation wouldn't do the trick. But, I was certain that holding a trial to bring the people responsible for her death to book would definitely bring him some sort of relief. So, the minute I’d succeeded in making him a bit level headed, I ordered that al
The Rogue’s Little Plaything 84
Fleki’s POVFor a person that was as conversant with death as I was, the elder’s sudden death caused an incurable sore in my being that I couldn't shake off. Everyday seemed like a blur and felt as empty as the last, it was as though I’d drowned in the pain I felt so much that it’d numbed out every other feeling.It was even harder to manage how broken I felt by her passing because of how angry and unsettled my wolf had been. Ever since Reid had convinced me that going on a rampage to fuel my blood lust and satisfy my rage wasn't what the elder would've wanted, I knew that using that as a means of release wasn't an option, so I’d bottled up my emotions because I didn't want to disrespect her memory by doing what she’d have frowned at.However, what had truly left me heartbroken was the fact that the elder had been murdered right under my very nose. It turned out that the visions she’d had of her death wasn't a natural occurrence, and I could’ve cheated fate if I’d simply checked up on
The Rogue’s Little Plaything 85
Lustre’s POVMy vision had been blurred by the tears I’d just shed and my cheeks were stained with traces of my dried up tears as well. Since the elder’s death, every day had seemed just as unfulfilling as the last, socially because my evenings held no meaning without the hours we spent together knitting and trading stories from our past. It’d been a nonchalant act of compliance, but I’d finally given in to the fact that the elder’s death had hurt me because of the meaningful and impactful relationship we’d built in the months we spent together. At first she’d just been a link to Alpha Fleki’s past, but all of that had changed drastically the more we spent time together.More than I was willing to admit, the elder’s death hadn't stung so badly because she was one of the persons whose connection to Alpha Fleki would've been helpful to my mission. Instead, I’d been genuinely mourning her end because I’d actually grown to like her without knowing it. But if her passing affected me so mu

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
