Lustre’s POV

My 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

    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

    Reid’s POVMy heart was in the right place most times that I’d taken people’s lives because I usually did so to honor my role and duties to my pack as a beta. I hardly ever had an ulterior motive or selfish reason for taking lives or dishing out torturous punishments, it was almost always an act of service to the Alpha and the rest of the pack.Despite knowing this, when Miimii eyes had met mine as I killed a guard, I’d felt like all my sins were see-through and she’d detest me for being such a brute being in advocating justice. I didn't think I could ever face her after that and I felt like a fucking fool for having pursued her in the first place.I didn't want to dwell on my failure when it came to winning the heart of the only woman I’d ever be capable of loving so I shook the thought off of my mind. Instead, I decided to visit the storage room to get an equipment for drawing board which needed fixing so that I could drown my grief and worries in painting a new portrait.As I walke

    Fleki’s POVI’d now truly become a firm believer of the fact that though you may never overcome the grief you feel from losing a loved one, with time you'll learn how to live with it. Grief as intense as what I felt after losing the mot precious person to me is something I’d probably never be free from, and things had taken a good spin when I wholly accepted that.I knew the former was a fact because I didn't think there would ever be a day where I’d not relive my fondest memories of the elder, mostly because we’d crafted core memories together for so many years that it’d be hell to attempt pushing her memories away completely since they were endlessly stuck in my mind.Time had also been in my favor because it ran by quickly after I’d begun to see grief as a feeling I’d need to adapt to for it’s weight on my chest to lighten rather than an adversary I had to battle when I had no chance of overcoming it that way.In what I’d personally experienced as quickly as the flash of lightning,

    Lustre’s POVPregnant for Alpha Fleki? Luna?Just when I thought that things in hell’s hall couldn't get any crazier than they already were, Luna’s news of her pregnancy for Alpha Fleki took the wheel and proved me absolutely wrong to have ever thought so.Her pregnancy seemed like a very recent development because she’d not even started to show yet and my wolf couldn't pick up the scent of her pup at the stage she was currently at. This only indicated that the times when Alpha Fleki hadn't seen me, Luna’s company had served as more than consolation and support, it’d also been a fucking sex spree behind closed doors for them while he grieved.I guessed that’s why she so many wanted him all to herself no matter how much I begged her to let me see him and extend my condolences for his loss. She’d probably assumed that everybody else consoled a grieving man the same twisted way that she’d decided to; by spreading her legs constantly for him to find comfort between them.Now who was the f

    Fleki’s POVAs I watched Luna take precedence over the events in the dining hall with her excitement about her pregnancy’s confirmation, my patience with her had begun to grow dangerously thinner and thinner by the second and I wasn’t sure why but it’d also been topped off with irritation at how she carried herself proudly because she was now allegedly carrying my child.My wolf equally felt agitated at the shocking news we’d just received and I made no move whatsoever to attempt taming his agitation, especially because I didn't have any idea how to soothe the discomfort and anger I felt as well.Luna had made it a point to even rub her tummy gently every now and then, and I was aware that the gesture was meant to stir some affection from me or a positive emotion of some sort. Instead, it annoyed me that she’d continued rubbing the pregnancy in everyone’s faces when I still have heavy doubts about it belonging to me.After she’d introduced some raggedy new maid as her personal maid to

    Reid’s POVWith the force of a thousand scorned men, I dragged Reina away from the dining hall because I couldn't afford to allow the anger that’d began to burn within me explode for everyone to see. Especially since my anger was only directed at Reina’s sneaky ass, a sort of anger that was fueled by a deep borne hatred for her and everything she stood for since I’d known her.Reina winced in pain as I pulled her with me but it didn't bother me in the slightest, she deserved pain a million degrees more than what I’d inflicted on her. I dragged her as fast as I could as my chest heaved in annoyance that she’d sudden shown up in the main palace, so I’d have to deal with new bullshit under my very on nose? I think the fuck not.“Where are you taking me Reid?” She cried out as I kept dragging her along with me, but I made no move to respond to her dumb question.“Answer me!” She rose her voice at me and I turned to look at her sharply as I wondered where she must’ve gathered the audacity

    Reid’s POVShock was an understatement for what I’d felt when I turned to meet Miimii’s eyes trained on me. Yet I’d felt naked before her, like she’d seen my at my very worst and it made my insides crumble from the thought of how she must now regard me after seeing how I treated Reina.Reina definitely had an invisible bad omen hovering over her head to have brought out the worst in me at a time when Miimii just so happened to be lurking around. On the inside, I wanted to scream out in frustration at her constant horrible timing, but I realized that it’d only make me seem like more of a monster.I was beyond certain that that's what she thought of me, that I was a monster who had absolutely no self restraint. She’d seen me rip out men’s hearts in cold blood and now to worsen it all, she’d just witnessed me treat a woman roughly and without any respect whatsoever.As much as the circumstances that warranted such a treatment were justified in my eyes, Miimii would probably never underst

    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

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

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.

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?

    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

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
