LUSTRE

The whole Hell’s Hall was bubbling with the preparations of the Annual Ball Dinner that was always hosted by Alpha Fleki.

When I asked Miimii what the Ball was all about, she said she doesn't know that much about it before it hasn't been hosted since she was brought to Hell’s Hall but there were more than enough whispers among the maids, especially the old maids for me to know what the ball was all about.

It was always held annually by Alpha Fleki and he uses it to host all the Alphas in Silvercrest with their heirs which were completely unbelievable because this was someone who didn't give two fucks about the rest of the packs so I didn't understand why he was hosting them in his house.

Why would he even bring them to his house when he knows full well that they hated his guts thoroughly and they might actually attempt to kill him or something?

It's been a couple of days since that encounter with him and within that period, I've lost count of the number of times he had actua

    LUSTREThis time around, I clearly knew what made me to stop and I stilled my movements, to hear it better. I did. It was crying. The silent one was filled with hiccups and sniffings and all. I looked around to gauge the direction where it was coming from and my mouth parted slightly when I realized it was that room that the weird girl disappeared into a couple of days ago. That was her room. Was she the one crying or her roommate or... There was only one way to find out and I was already at the door. I knocked softly and without waiting for a response from the other side, I pushed the door open and stuck my head in. The room was bare and devoid of any human being and it made me frown because I was completely sure that the sound was coming from there. "Oh my God!" I yelled in panic at the suddenness of the pair of red and swollen eyes that I was looking into and I almost stumbled to the floor. I slammed my palm over my chest to calm my heart which was now beating erratically down

    FLEKI"Luna will be your date for the ball, right?" Reid asked from where he was sitting across me in my study."Yes, of course," it was going to be Luna so I didn't understand why he was asking an obvious question, "should that even be a question?""Well," he shrugged indifferently, "it shouldn't be a question but recent developments have made it into one."I cocked my brows questioningly at him because I don't understand what he was talking about."I mean with your recent infatuation with the blue-haired girl, I was thinking she'd be the eye candy and the plaything you'd want to flaunt that day and besides, she's way prettier than Luna.""She's just a whore," I gritted out, angry at myself that the first thing that popped into my mind at his words were images of her dressed in a blue gown that accentuated her blue eyes and hair for the party. I could picture her hanging by my hands, her pouty lips coated in red and her being the envy of every single female at the ball because she su

    LUSTREThe fuss about the upcoming ball was spreading like a pandemic in Hell’s Hall and the preparations had started in earnest. It was just a week away and the hall on the first floor was starting to get repainted and redecorated. Luna had stepped into the role of a full-blown lady of the house and she had completely taken over the preparations of everything food and merriments about the party. I expected her to use her newfound position to bully me, to make my life a living hell, to berate me, to make the dynamics of our relationship evident; that she's the Queen and I'm nothing but a measly maid that'll always be beneath her but instead, she was flat-out ignoring my existence. It was as if she couldn't even see me, as if I wasn't there. I wasn't sure if the Alpha’s command that I shouldn’t partake in any chore except serving his meals and warming his bed had extended to her but I was sure even if it had, she'd have still found a way to berate and ignore me. Maybe she had just re

    FLEKIMy eyes immediately sought out Lustre when the maids approached the dining area, bearing large trays of food and when I saw her, blue hair packed into a ponytail as she had always packed it to show her face in all its exquisite and exaggerated beauty because there was nothing simple about her face, about her beauty.Hers was a face that demanded, that commanded to be admired and there was no way anyone would catch a glimpse of her face and not turn back to get a proper look. I felt my dick jump in excitement as she approached and I almost cursed the little fucker. He really needed to learn how to tame it down whenever she was near because, with the way things are going, he was always rearing its head and always ready to have a go whenever she was near. Isn't she already controlling a part of you? My wolf seethed within me and I groaned harshly before pushing him to the furthest part of my mind. He seemed so focused on the fact that because I now desired her to the point of no

    (Triggering Contents Ahead)FLEKIThe fucking never of this bitch! I knew I'd heal fast enough because the injury she'd managed to inflict was no match for the wolf bites and incomprehensible deep wounds I'd recovered from, so I didn't pay the blood I felt on my clothes any attention.Instead, I drew out the knife she'd left lodged in my neck as Reid angrily slammed her on the bard marble floor repeatedly. She looked weak and beaten down despite the fact that he'd not gotten started with her as a renowned torturer, but she'd still managed to lift her eyes and meet mine with a hatred I couldn't possibly fathom.I was no stranger to being stared at fearfully, hatefully, or with utter disdain but hers seemed like it'd been borne from an endless pit of hatred that intrigued me rather than scared me, either way, I trusted Reid to get to the bottom of this dumb shit she'd just tried to pull, no one dared to lay a finger on me of their own volition and go scot-free.That was actually an und

    FLEKI The maid’s hateful confession was enough to prove to me that she had no idea how many maids had been brought in after they’d watched their families and entire lives being uprooted by my various conquests, so why on earth did she think her case was special enough to give her the guts to expert revenge? After I’d told her where she was headed because she’d dared to stage an assassination attempt against me, I didn't care for what other thing she had to say neither did I care for how long she’d be tortured afterward so I left for my room, all that bullshit was enough drama to last me for a millennium. I headed for my room to unwind after the unbelievably annoying day I’d had, and the gods had answered my prayers swiftly because as soon as I opened the door I was met with Lustre’s fucking hot body as she leaned against the wall beside my bed, she knew she could only seat on my bed if I let her and it was good to know she remained obedient to that. However, as soon as she dragged

    LUSTREI’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 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.

    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

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
