The Rogue’s Little Plaything 80
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

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

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 service to Alpha Luca wasn't a responsibility I’d brag about, but I liked to believe that I’d served him diligently enough to have become someone he’d hold in high regard. Also, since I arrived his palace as a lone wolf without a family, I’d already begun to acknowledge that he was the closest person I had and the one I’d known the longest that could pass as family. But, did family threaten to kill you over an elongated mission? Fuck, no.So, I’d begun to absolutely rethink those conclusions I’d arrived at earlier as I stared blankly at the threatening note I’d just read that now lay at the tip of my feet. Unfortunately, I have lived long enough to know that when someone is that willing to discard our history, it means that it probably never held any value to the said person in the first place. Rush hour was still ongoing, but I’d started feeling very panicked and unsettled by the words I’d just read, so I thought of a way to slip away from the crowd of busy workers
The Rogue’s Little Plaything 87
Luna’s POVThe door of opportunity had been flung wide open for me and I planned to never get shut out of it since I’d finally stepped foot in it. I knew that Alpha Fleki didn't exactly adore me and there were no hopes that he’d fall in love with me, but I was completely fine with that as long as he didn't adore any other woman or fall in love with one.As a woman who’d been amongst powerful men all my life, I also knew for a fact that Alphas saw falling in love as a sign of weakness, so I didn't want the man I’d be betrothed to to seem weak while he was amongst his equals just because he chose to fall in love with me.All of these made it logical that he wasn’t soft around me and he hardly ever showed me affection even in times that might’ve demanded it. Since one of the reasons I was drawn to Alpha Fleki was due to his powerful status that made him feared by all in Silvercrest, there’s no way I’d want to jeopardize his status by expecting that he’d someday be smitten by me.Yet how
