Chapter 75“You’re a murderer. Nothing but a murderer.” Someone shouted in the crowd, throwing a glass plate on Stacey.She tried to block it before it could hit her but it was too late. She yelped out as it hit her, tearing a part of her face as blood crawled out.“I’m not a murderer! I did not kill anyone! Listen to me!” She yelled out.Her eyes scanned the crowd as something hit her again. She stopped at the small children she used to play with, crouching as she tried to touch them. Her hand hung midway as the children shifted away from her,“Zach, I didn’t kill anyone. I thought we’ve become friends.” She said.“Murderer.” The boy said, disappearing into the crowd.“Ahh.” She shrieked out in pain as someone kicked her, causing her to lose her balance as she fell to the floor again. She clenched her jaw, not wanting to get provoked by them. She had just left the priestess house and was going to the house to confront Ronan when they all ganged up on her. Someone would be here soon,
Chapter 76“Seize her. Lock her up.” Ronan ordered, walking into his chambers. “Ronan! Ronan! Hear me out! I heard her saying it!” Janiya yelled out, struggling in the grasp of the guards holding her down.“I don’t care Niya!” He halted in his steps as he turned back to look at her, his eyes all shades of anger.“I don’t care Niya! Whether you were doing it for a great cause, or not! I don’t care!” He added, darting his eyes to the guard.“Lock her up! No one is allowed to release her, no one should come to get her. Unless I tell you myself, she should be in the dungeon.” He said, eyeing her and turning to leave.He turned back again and met her eyes, “if anyone dares to release her from there, I’m going to tear their neck away from their head, no matter who you are.” He added, pausing again.“Let anyone who comes for her know that I said that.” He ran his hand through his hair. A lot was on his mind than the pressing issue of Janiya. He clenched his jaw as he approached his room, ha
Chapter 77Stacey entered through the secret door, shocking both Lena and Ronan. She laughed out, the pain she was feeling coursing through her entire body,“I was just a ploy?” She repeated his words as she closed the door, nodding her head to his words and clenching her jaw.“You used almost 10 days in our pack. I must have been so stupid thinking someone would come and miraculously enjoy me for who I am. I didn’t ask who you are even though I knew you were not from the pack. You didn’t bother to tell me your name and I didn’t care as long as we spent time together. Do you remember your last words?” She uttered, looking at Ronan.“You said you’ll come back for me. You asked me to call you ‘boy’. You said I should endure and you left that stupid note on my father’s table.”“Do you know how many weeks I got punished for it! How everyone mocked me, thinking I was no less a fool for not even knowing your name! Maybe my mother was right.” She said as tears started to cloud her eyes. She
Chapter 78The door to Ronan’s door opened as Eric entered, his eyes darting first because of the tension he could perceive in the room.“The elders just called for a meeting. They’re here already.” He said after Ronan glared at him.“Good. I’ve been wanting to call one too.” Ronan said as he walked towards the door.Eric bowed as Ronan walked out of the room, glancing at Lena whose head was lowered already.“Why are you always here?” He asked.“Eric!” Ronan yelled out his name as he rushed out, slamming the door in Lena’s face.He hurried to catch up with Ronan, walking side by side with him in silence.“How is she?” Eric asked. “Nothing. She’s not talking to me. She’s annoyed. Do you have any idea what Janiya caused?” Ronan said through a clenched jaw.Because he was his beta, he could feel most of Ronan’s emotions sometimes, especially when he was angry or annoyed. The amount of annoyance oozing out of him was something to be afraid of. “I’m so sorry. She didn’t tell me she was g
Chapter 79“You said all of that in the elders’ meeting and they didn’t look at you again or yell at you to put your baby butt on the chair?” Lena said sarcastically as she looked at Ronan.For three days she hasn’t been able to get a wind of Ronan, it was like he was burying himself in work and has just drastically changed. She would try to catch up with him in his room only for him to be absent in it, and his study, it was always locked as if he was locking himself from everyone.“And Niya’s father didn’t ask you to keep quiet while he rubbed your head?” She added, a small smile on her lips. “I’m not a child anymore Lena,” Ronan said, his face devoid of smiles as he eyed her.“You’ll still be my baby brother, no matter what. Are you going this hard because of what Niya did to Stacey?” “It’s nothing about her. I’m just rethinking all of it.” He replied as he stood up from his chair, facing lena.“What if the elders just needed me to acquire this land and to build a pack on it? When
Chapter 80It was late in the night and Stacey was having difficulties sleeping. She got out of bed and decided to take a stroll in the house, to take her mind off things she has been thinking about. She glanced at his door as she passed it, a small sad smile curling her lips upwards.These days she has been more into herself, she talked to herself, did everything herself, and even kept to herself. The new maid appointed to her would try to make small talk with her but she wasn’t interested. It was the same way Lena got access to her and she wasn’t making any mistakes again. “Lena didn’t do any…“I don’t want to hear it, Freya.” She cut her wolf off as she climbed down the stairs.Everywhere was already silent, apart from some of the maids who were still moving back and forth and the guards manning each place.“Where to?” One of the guards asked her.“I’m just taking a stroll. I’ll be back in a few minutes.” She said to him before he opened the door and allowed her to pass.The fresh
Chapter 82The first thing Ronan woke up to the next day was a meeting of furious elders. After freshening up, he marched with Eric to the meeting room only to meet the elders with frowned faces seated around the table. Just like the last time, no one stood up on their feets to greet him as a scoff escaped his lips.He stopped after the door, glancing at them all with a wicked glint in his eyes,“Have them thrown into the dungeon. I can’t deal with them if they can’t respect me.” He said and turned his back to leave when Janiya’s father voiced out.“You want respect, you’ll have to earn it!”“Well, not from dimwits like you all.” He retorted, turning back to face them with his lips curled up.“You dare call us dimwits! We saved your life! And now you’re disrespecting us over some lady!”“What has this got to do with her? We are a pack Ronan, don’t let the pack crumble because of your affection for her.” Another elder said calmly.Ronan smiled as he walked towards his chair, taking hi
Chapter 82“I think you went too hard on them, Ronan. You did not even tell me you were going to try something like that.” Eric said with heavy breaths after trying to catch up with Ronan.“I’m not going hard on them. I’m merely informing them, if I should go hard on them, they won’t take it.” He retorted.Eric nodded, gulping down as they walked in silence for a while. “What about her?” He said all of a sudden.“Who?”“Lena, your sister. What about her? What are you doing about her?” Ronan halted, turning to face Eric with a smile on his face. “She's fine as you can see and she’s going to be fine. How did you know? Were you doing some digging about her?”“You asked me to find where she is, we were looking for her together, and I did that. That’s how I got to know Ronan.” Eric replied as he bowed to him.“Keep it that way. I don’t want anyone else knowing.” He turned back and made his way to the dining table. Eric helped in opening the door while he entered, his feets coming to an a
