LUSTRE

I’d not seen Bertha since the day she was dragged from the dining when she attempted to kill Fleki and I couldn't stop worrying about her. I knew that she’d definitely be punished but I hoped that’s all it would be since she didn't succeed in killing him and barely injured him.

I worried about her because after hearing about her experience, I knew that her anger was justified despite the fact that she’d aired it wrongly. However, she didn't know better and was fueled with a rare rage and hatred I’d never seen, but she’d lost enough and didn't deserve to lose more of herself.

As hard-headed as I was, I’d managed to swap duties once in a while with any of the maids that served meals in the dungeons, and by doing so, I got to speak with Bertha a few times— however, it was barely a conversation since she was mostly unresponsive and hadn't eaten enough for sustenance while she’d been locked up.

She still looked like she was angry at the world and it hurt me that I couldn't help her

    LUSTREMy hands shivered slightly at my sides as everywhere became full of hateful whispers, I already knew that most of the workers— especially the maids, hated my guts because of how much Alpha Fleki was fond of me and they didn't waste a second to say spiteful things about me immediately I'd challenged him.Reid's eyes were already trained on me, but he briefly looked away and whispered something into the elder's ear and she also looked directly at me the instant he took his lips away from her ears. I let my eyes meet both of theirs and I didn't flinch from their stares because I was certain that in the real sense, I'd done absolutely nothing wrong and my actions were completely justifiable.While the place remained rowdy, I could still feel anger and grief coursing through my veins as I watched the guards carry Bertha's body away. I hoped she'd be buried respectfully despite having died as a traitor so that she could find peace in the afterlife, but I knew that the chances of that

    Lustre’s POVMy mind kept trailing off with thoughts of how exactly Alpha Fleki had intended to punish me for rating my voice at him in the presence of his workers and subjects. However, my wolf quickly calmed me by reaffirming that there's nothing I couldn't handle, and I let my mind wander further but I’d left the fear of uncertainty behind as soon as my wolf comforted me.I wouldn't put it past him to have me flogged or locked up for a while so that I’d learn my lesson, but whatever punishment he decided to dish out would only fuel my hatred toward him and reignite my motivation to finally subdue him and complete my mission— it's the only reason I was in hell’s hall anyways.As much as I’d half expected a lighter punishment than any other make would get for speaking up against Alpha Fleki because of his undeniable fondness for me, I didn't think there was a possibility that It’d actually happen until Reid began to lead me toward my room rather than the torture pits or the dungeons.

    FLEKII couldn't get the image of Lustre’s mortified expressions when she’d opposed me for having Bertha killed out of my head. She’d looked at me like she’d only just realized the lengths I’d go to ascertain my dominance and reignite fear in the hearts of everyone, and she was suddenly disgusted that I’d go as far as taking the life of someone whose entire family I’d murdered mercilessly.I've never cared about how a woman regarded me, I’ve never given the slightest fuck about how a woman looked at me in disdain, and I’d most definitely never cared about the emotions of a woman that was nothing but a fucking plaything to me. So, why on earth did it bother me that Lustre didn't approve of my decision to have Bertha executed?It baffled me for the rest of the day and as much as I wanted to, I couldn't quite shake off the nagging feeling that Lustre was somewhere angry at me. But I convinced myself that it was just how entrancing and enticing her body was that made me wonder what she’d

    LUSTREI felt Alpha Fleki's piercing gaze rest on my body while I got dressed up, he'd just fucked me until my mouth and pussy were sore and it was a bit of a struggle to pull my dress and underwear back on so it took me longer than necessary.I took my sweet time and each time my eyes met his, I gave him a blank yet disapproving look and as much as he'd love to deny it, I knew that he was bothered by the odd looks I'd been giving him and I loved that, so I wasn't eager to stop anytime soon.When I'd finally worn my clothes I put on my sandals and stood before him hoping to be dismissed so I could get elsewhere. I didn't dare seat when I wasn't asked to so when it'd taken minutes of silence for him to reply to me, my sore legs from earlier began to wear me out as I stood before him. There and then, I decided that I'd go ahead and ask to be dismissed if he was finished with me already."May I please be dismissed, Alpha Fleki?" His eyes rested on my lips as they moved, and I secretly pr

    LUSTREThe melody of Mimi's hums filled the room as I got ready for another evening with the Elder, Mimi's hums were always calming and she did it absentmindedly most of the time."What song is this, Mimi?" I asked softly she turned to face me with a smile."Oh, It's a traditional song for mating rituals from my pack." She explained and I nodded, no wonder it appealed to my wolf as well as myself."It's beautiful." My compliment made her smile grow bigger in seconds."Thank you." She responded and continued humming, this time she swayed to the rhythm as well.As soon as I'd gotten changed from the outfit I'd served dinner in that had little stains on it, I searched for my notepad where I'd written the short story I'd planned to read for the elder. On subsequent evenings, we'd stuck to reading her books and ancient tales of werewolf origins and the likes.However, the last evening I read to her, I playfully stated that I'd gotten a little weary of repeating ancient werewolf tales becau

    FLEKIMy day had gotten busier and busier by the second, but I couldn't complain because I knew exactly how much workload would come with overtaking territories to build my own pack and I welcomed it.As I thought back to the very start of my day, I couldn't recall a time when I’d stepped out of my work chambers to get a breath of fresh air. Instead, I’d immediately buried myself in work after my morning training was completed and I wasn’t halfway done despite that.Once in a while, I glanced through a book the elder had given me and swore that I’d not lived until I’d read it. Funny enough, I finished the book within two days when she first gave me but when I returned it to her and provide a satisfying answer to the things she’d quizzed me on, she gave it back to me and asked that I read it with an open mind this time around.It's like she’d forgotten I wasn’t the same child she’d homeschooled and nurtured, but I gathered that I’d always be the little boy she groomed to her and I’d ma

    Lustre’s POV I’d been having a rather pleasant day because I wasn't burdened without as much chorus es as the other maids, and like you’d expect, most of the maids detested me because I wasn’t being given as much duties as they’d had to shoulder but I wasn't one to give a fuck about how they regarded me. All my life, I've had to fight my way through every situation and so I took whatever opportunities were thrown way, especially if they’d make life easier for me. And in this case, Alpha Fleki’s fondness for me definitely made my life in hell’s hall a tad bit more tolerable by having way less duties than I should’ve so I welcomed it without caring what names the other maids called me. However, halfway through my day, a guard came to inform me that Alpha Fleki’s personal tailor would be arriving later in the evening and that I’d be sent for immediately he arrived so that I could get measured for the dress I’d wear to the ball as Alpha Fleki’s date. I wasn’t in the least bit excited t

    REID"I'm going for a guard roll call to check on the guards on duty in the maid quarters" I informed my personal guard as I left my chambers and he bowed in acknowledgment.I liked to do roll calls without being accompanied by guards so that the guards on duty that had been slacking off wouldn't see me coming and return to their posts quickly to cover it up. But recently, one of the reasons why I enjoyed going on roll calls was because I'd somehow bump into Miimii or sense her."You ready to see her again?" I asked my wolf as I entered the maid quarters and he pranced within me eagerly which made a chuckle escape my lips at his show of childish joy."Hell, yeah. I wish we could be with her all the time, don't you?" He questioned me fondly."Well, it's too bad that's not possible." I simply replied as I began observing the guards in their posts while I walked."You haven't even tried." He murmured and I ignored him, as I usually did when he brought up the topic of pursuing Miimii any

    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

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

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

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
