CHAPTER 72
Thorn's pov.After leaving Genevieve alone, I went back to the temple ruins, but not before I informed her guards to go back and stay with her.By the time I had gotten back to the ruins, more guards showed up, stating that the alpha told them to come by and inspect how things were going. I could no longer go to the tunnel that I had found earlier because I would definitely be caught.The security remained tight until it was time for me to get back to the palace. This is so bad, I was so close to finding what I wanted but I failed again. Who knows when next I'm going to come here? I am not responsible for guarding the ruins tomorrow or the next, this is only delaying me.Nonetheless, I went back to the palace with the others, hoping that I would get an opportunity to come out again and investigate the tunnel that I found.We arrived at the palace and everyone retired to their rooms. My roommates were talking amonCHAPTER 73Genevieve's pov.I was filled with rage when I got out of the river and Thorn wasn't there anymore. My intense anger was soon replaced with tears as I wore my clothes again.Is that how much he doesn't want anything to do with me? The Thorn I know would have come into the water with me but he walked away, and without saying a word.I tried to deny my pain but it was so evident. My heart was heavy and I wanted to cry my eyes but not here, not in public, not in the presence of my guards. I managed to pull myself together and started heading back to the palace. I had to subdue my emotions even though it hurt so much. Thorn can play hard to get for as long as he wishes, but he will succumb one of these days.I got home and met Jamie discussing outside our room with his beta. Whatever they were discussing must be crucial because of the concerned looks on their faces. I greeted them both and then entered the room to wait fo
CHAPTER 74Thorn's pov.I have to find a way to avoid Genevieve. I know for a fact that she's trying to get to me, she's doing all of this to seduce me but I'm also determined not to let it work.Abandoning the temple ruins and training with the other soldiers will do nothing but delay my mission and my sister's life is already in danger. I have to find a way out of Genevieve's trap quickly.I thought of going to talk to her but I have to avoid her at all costs and not give her what she wants. I decided I would complain to the Alpha about it instead. I couldn't meet Jamie directly but I told his beta who asked me to stand outside the throne room while he tells Jamie about my request to meet with him.“One of the soldiers is waiting outside. He wants to speak to you.” I heard the beta telling Jamie as I stood by the door of the throne room.“What happened?” Jamie asked.“I have no idea but I think it has something to
CHAPTER 75Genevieve's pov.I watched Thorn walk away, my heart heavy from his words. What did he mean by I made him lose something important? And he even had the guts to call me selfish! Who does he think he is? I see he's slowly growing wings because he knows I won't do anything to hurt him. He's taking advantage of my attraction to him and I must put him in his place.I got up and marched to my room, still worried about what he said. What exactly did I do? What is the important thing that I made him lose? I'm so curious and I need to know what he's hiding from me.I have always known that Thorn had a secret, there's something he's hiding from everyone. I started getting suspicious when I found him sneaking around the tunnels and when I found maps of the kingdom in his room. I wanted to ask him what it was but I never got the chance to.Well, now I'm suspicious again and I want to know what the problem is. What did I make
CHAPTER 76Genevieve's pov.“What's the meaning of this!?” Thorn raged, struggling to get out of the grip of the three guards who were holding him down. He seemed to be winning, he was stronger than all three of them but they were trying their best to subdue him.“The meaning of this Thorn, is that you cannot talk to me in that manner. Just who do you think you are?” I paused and took a long stare at him, watching him struggle.“For a few days now, you've been acting up and feeling like you can do whatever you want. Have you forgotten your place in all of this? Have you forgotten that you're nothing but a guard?” I questioned, trying to make him understand that I am still in charge.“If I am so worthless, why won't you leave me alone? Why do you always seem to need me?” He scoffed. I see what he's trying to do, but it's not going to work.“I am not here to banter words with you Thorn. I am your Luna and I am right no matter
CHAPTER 77Thorn's pov.After Genevieve left, I had to leave whatever I was doing and join her back to the palace. She had threatened me with two things, trapping me yet again.First of all, I couldn't go to the dungeon, it wouldn't only delay my mission, but my sister would be dead by the time I come out. Again, I couldn't bear to watch another man have his hands all over her. I guess I have no other option but to do as she says and come for the training.I got back to my room and my roommates were nowhere to be found. I was informed that they had left for their new duties and I was ecstatic. At least I have the room to myself for a few weeks, my peace and quiet is guaranteed. I've had to put up with the noise and endless shuffling of objects on the floor and it was driving me crazy.Even though I tried to deny it, one of the reasons why I was happy that I was alone again is because I have missed seeing Genevieve barge in as she ple
CHAPTER 78Thorn's pov.Reluctantly, I went up to meet her. She had a grin plastered on her beautiful face and I couldn't help but admire her. She jerked me back to reality when she poked my arm with her sword.“What are you thinking about? A soldier should be alert at all times.” She told me, still grinning. She knew very well that I was admiring her and yet she chose to make me look like a fool in front of everyone.“I am alert..” I cleared my throat.“Among all the soldiers here, I chose you to be my solar partner, because I have something important to teach everyone.” She said and I was shocked. Was she really being serious? Solar partner? No, I definitely can't do that!“The rogues who are attacking us, might decide to take the form of their wolves, and what do we do when that time comes? How do we defend ourselves?” She asked the soldiers and they all watched with a lot of enthusiasm.“Go ahead, shif
CHAPTER 79Genevieve's pov.As soon as I wrapped my hand around his cock, Thorn threw his head back, releasing a big breath. A little groan escaped from his lips as I started to move up and down his shaft, my eyes were fixed on him, watching every of his reactions.I have missed watching him squirm when I touch him, he always has the best reactions and his little groans are a huge turn on. I continued to move my hand up and down his whole length, the water from the shower reducing the friction between my hand and his dick, making it all the more enjoyable for him“Do you still want me to leave? Because if you want, I can stop and leave.” I inquired and he stared down at me, placing his hand on my head, gently pulling on the strands of my hair.“Don't you fucking stop.” He said in a low growl which messed with my head. I loved it so much whenever he talked like that, it wasn't only arousing, it was captivating. I s
CHAPTER 80Thorn's pov.I turned the shower off and we both stepped out of the bathroom, entering the room naked and wet. She went ahead to dry herself off with my towel while I watched, still driven by the desire I have for her.The hot sex in the shower should have been enough to fill my hunger for her but it didn't. I watching her dry her wet hair and her gorgeous titties staring at me, made cock remain erect and she grinned at this.“I see someone hasn't had enough.” She chuckled. She dropped the towel and started putting her clothes on. She had taken them off before joining me in the shower.“Truth be told, I don't think I can ever get enough of you.” I muttered, still standing there, naked and wet. She giggled again and threw the towel at me. I caught it and slowly started drying off.“Too bad, I have to go back to my room.” She said,“To do what exactly? Alpha Jamie isn't home.” I pointed out. I was relieved about this because I wouldn't be able to stand her going to be with h
CHAPTER 131Genevieve's pov.As soon as Taloria fell, I ran to her and held her up.“Stop! She could be dangerous!” The commander yelled at me, trying to take her away from me but I protected Taloria with my body.“It's fine, she's not possessed anymore.” I told them and they backed off a little bit. I continued to try and wake Taloria up but she wasn't responsive. I got scared, thinking that something was wrong. “Taloria? Open your eyes please.” I pleaded, giving her light taps on her cheek. She finally opened her eyes weakly, staring at me with a smile.“Genevieve? What happened?” She asked, her voice was faint. I was happy that she was alright.“You're fine now. Don't worry about it.” I told her.“We are so sorry Genevieve. We had no idea that Jamie was involved in so much atrocious acts.” One of the elders started and the others followed suit, each one apologizing for misjudging and treating me badly. “It's alright. I just want to go back to Thorn.” I requested and they agreed. T
CHAPTER 130Genevieve's pov.“Help!! Help!!” I yelled at the top of my lungs, fear and agony detectable in the tone of my voice. I cried out for help yet again, before two guards ran into the dungeon, drawing their swords and running towards my cell. “Help!!!” I screamed and they all turned to see Taloria beside my cell, twitching and growling in a low voice. Their fear when they saw her was evident, and they stopped running towards me. “Take one more step and I'm going to kill you all! This does not concern you in any way! Her soul belongs to me and I am here to take it!” She growled, her voice turning completely into the horrifying voice that she used to have when Ginger Carmine possessed her! Could it be that her soul never left?“Who are you!?” The guards asked in fright. “Who I am is not important! I will kill anyone who stands the in my way!” She cackled loudly. The atmosphere changed immediately, fear and danger was clearly perceived. I was shaking in my cell, wondering what
CHAPTER 129Genevieve's pov.I turned my head, my eyes still shut. The terrible odour filled my nostrils again and I scrunched my nose, putting my palm over my nose. I managed to open my eyes, but my vision was blurry and I had an awful headache. Looking around, I saw the decaying body which was giving off the stench and realized that I had been lying next to it. I felt nauseous immediately, and went to stand by the cell gate, putting my face out to receive any amount of fresh air I could get.The dungeon was as silent as a graveyard, I must be the only prisoner in here, the thought of that gave me chills and I wondered how I was going to survive staying down here on my own with this foul stench. “Hello!?” I yelled out but was greeted by the echo of my own voice.“Is anyone there!?” I yelled out again but again, no reply except for the echo.“Hello!!” I screamed even louder and the main doors flipped open immediately, an angry looking guard made his way in and over to me. I guess he
CHAPTER 128Genevieve's pov.“No! He attacked me! He wanted to kill me! I only tried to defend myself!” I screamed but they didn't look like they were going to believe anything I say.“Liar! Genevieve must die!”“Genevieve must die!!” They started to chant loudly and fear gripped me. Not knowing what to do, I ran back into the clinic, slamming the door shut. I leaned against the door, breathing heavily and withstanding the loud bangs on the door.“Open the door!!” They continued to rage, hitting the door violently. “We need to get you to safety!” Cara ran towards me and attempted to pull me away.“Where to? You want me to leave Thorn here all alone? I can't do that, they'll kill him.” I responded but she bit her lip tiredly.“Where's Taloria?” I asked.“I already sent her out through the back and I sincerely think you should come with me now for your own safety.” As soon as she finished that statement, a large brick landed in between us. The villagers were trying to break in through
CHAPTER 127Genevieve's pov.“What!?” Taloria cried out. “Do you even know what you're saying!? If you can't save him, then who can!? Where's my brother!!?” She tried to run past the doctor but Cara was quick to hold her back, stopping her from dashing into the ward. They were both shedding tears with Taloria struggling to get free from Cara's grip.“Let me go! Leave me alone!!” She yelled, her agony was killing me. I stood there without a single expression on my face. I took a few steps backwards, staring into nothing as tears clouded my vision. I didn't know how to react, I didn't know what to do at that moment, I had nothing but anguish in my heart.“Genevieve! Genevieve do something!! Please save my brother!!” Taloria continued to scream at the top of her lungs, fighting to get away from Cara who was doing a good job holding her down.“Please!! My brother should not die!!” She cried out, tears pouring down her eyes uncontrollably. I couldn't even look her in the face, seeing her
CHAPTER 126Genevieve's pov.I glared at them, waiting for them to step out of the way so that I could go in. After a lot of hesitation, they finally moved out of the way and we continued our journey into the pack. I would occasionally look back at Thorn and check to see if he was still breathing. Thankfully, he was still alive but his breaths were getting slow and I knew we would lose him soon if he does not get medical attention soon.We made our way straight to palace, ignoring all the side talks we got on our way there. Indeed, my people now have the worst impression about me.“Isn't that Luna Genevieve!?”“I can't believe she's alive!”“She should be dead, she doesn't even deserve to live, not after what she did to our dear Alpha.”“Imagine cheating on the Alpha with a mere guard! She's absolutely disgusting and I hate her.” “We don't want you here!”“Where is our Alpha? What has she done with him? And who is she carrying like that? Is he dead?”“Isn't that her lover?”“She is i
CHAPTER 125Genevieve's pov.“Thorn!! Thorn!!” Taloria's piercing screams filled the air. I turned to find her vigorously shaking her brother who was lying lifeless on the floor already. I looked at Jamie again, to make sure that he was dead for good this time around. He lay there with the dagger in him, bleeding from his stabs, mouth and nose. There was absolutely no chance for his survival and I was relieved.He had tormented me for a really long time and I wasn't going to let him get away with it. Stabbing Thorn was the last straw.Quickly, I rushed over to where Taloria was sitting on the floor, carrying Thorn's head in her arms. She was screaming his name and shaking him to wake him up but he was unconscious already. My whole body was covered in goosebumps as I stared at Thorn's lifeless body. My pupils dilated and I froze at the spot, a strange gush of wind blowing through the forest. I didn't know how to react or what to feel. Thorn is dead? My mate is dead? The thought of it
CHAPTER 124Genevieve's pov.Thorn agreeing to follow me back to my pack has to be one of the best things I've heard in a really long time. I was ecstatic and couldn't wait to go back with him. Who knows? We might even end up getting married and live together in wolfang pack. Since the pack is without a leader, we could be the leaders.“Then we should get going, before it gets dark.” I said.“Going back to Wolfang pack is a two-day journey and we need to be prepared.” Thorn stated.“Taloria, take Genevieve around and you two should gather as much food and ammunition as possible while I salvage whatever I can from here. We will meet at the border in an hour.” He instructed. Taloria and I nodded as we left the palace, she took me into the village where we searched the houses for any food, clothes and weapons for defending ourselves.“I think we've gathered enough, besides, we're going back to my pack and there will be plenty of food there.” I told Taloria who was still trying to pack som
CHAPTER 123Thorn's pov.I watched Genevieve in her unconscious state, thinking about what to tell her as soon as she wakes up. Not only did I disrespect her and let her leave in anger, I scared her into hitting her head against a rock. I have a lot of apologizing to do.I had moved her already, to open ground where I was waiting for her to regain consciousness. After a while, she started to move and slowly opened her eyes. I was relieved, at least she's fine. “Are you okay?” I questioned and she let out a groan before sitting up. She looked around, probably trying to understand where she was before she turned to stare at me, like she hadn't seen me before.“What happened?” She questioned.“You um.. you passed out.” I replied, scratching my head. She lifted her hand to feel the back of her head and then winced. She finally remembered everything that happened and the fire in her eyes returned. She was furious.“You fucking pushed me!?” She growled and winced again.“Take it easy, and
