George"Have you told her about it?""Yes, dear!" Nana's voice came out soft, a good enough reason to have my heart melted, but it didn't. "Please, don't be so upset.""What do you mean by that, Nana? She almost killed Kendell, and now he's fighting for his life," my voice came out harshly. All thanks to her friend. How did they become friends again?I sighed, rubbing on my temple. Alexa should be the one receiving the backlash from me and not her... "I'm sorry, Nana. I didn't mean to raise...""No, it's okay, dear. I understand you, and thank you for pleading for Alexa's life..."I didn't really do that because of Alexa or Nana, but for Kendell. He might take out his anger on me if he found out I watched her get killed."It's fine, Nana," I responded after a minute of silence. "And what was her remark on him being alive? Did she feel any
Vivian"Alexa actually did that," the words came out softly from my lips."What were you expecting, Vi? She's a dimwit. Stupid as ever.""So with Kendell now out of our way, and Alexa deep within the dungeon, what now?"Dexter chuckled as he neared me. "We clear out every distraction in our way, starting from the Beta—even Kia, the elders, everyone.""So after that?" My voice came again."What do you mean by that, Vivian? Of course we will take over.""So tonight, His Majesty’s death should be made public, and then we strike with our next plan..."I didn’t know why, but I went with instinct. "So after that, can we now have a child of our own?" His cruel laughter cut me off."What do you mean by that, Vivian?" he paused in between laughter. "Can't you see that I am too old?"No
Unknown POV (Bright Claw Pack)Their laughter died down silently as Xena stared at Selene with great intensity."So, what do you say, we commence the ritual?" the king interjected as he rubbed his protruding belly."Definitely, Your Highness," Selene answered, "that's if the Luna is ready. Or do you have something to tell us?"Xena laughed lightly as she mumbled, "You wish," more to herself than to anyone."I'm ready, Selene. Shall we proceed?" she gestured as she smiled mockingly at her.They were led into the royal bathroom where many of such rituals had been held in the past.The men were asked to stay behind, enjoying some dance shows and teasing themselves with silly talks.Xena was made to strip in the midst of other older women."Come in," Selene gestured towards the pool, where other ladie
AlexaChains. Darkness. Pain.Yes, I did it.Finally, I would be able to meet Ciara now.Suddenly, an excruciating pain surged through me again. I shot my eyes to the stabbing feeling in my abdomen.I could still remember the look in his eyes, as the dagger struck his chest. A mixture of pain, uncertainty, and disappointment.I had brought myself in, allowing the guards to see me, with his blood stained on my hands."This is treason," the elders had said, as I knelt in the council room, awaiting my punishment.I saw the way Nana's gaze settled on me—it was heartbreaking."She should be killed for that act," another said."Yes," the majority of the Pack council members responded.But George came to my rescue. "Ahem," he cleared his throat first, walking to the front. "Greetings, Council of Elders. I know what has been done wasn't something that should be treated lightly, but let's not forget that she's carrying the heir to the throne. Also, it is taboo to kill a pregnant she-wolf—a Lun
KendellEverything was perfect, and tonight was going to be even more.The guard had told me he saw a hooded figure entering Vivian's room two nights ago, and also that Elder Dexter was visiting her discreetly but frequently.Those traitors—they must be the ones pulling the strings.George had gotten Katarina's body for the autopsy, and they confessed to have found some skin underneath her nails, and it was also in test.Men were still searching around the packs. In no more than six days, Alexa must have been able to get reunited with her sister, but I can't wait that long. I will tell her about it tonight.Nana was in support of it and also offered to get my chamber decorated for the reveal later tonight.Vivian's and Dexter's days of reckoning were near.A light knock came on my chambers as I adjusted my dark sleeves."Alpha, everything is set for tonight!" her voice called out sharp."Thank you, Elora," I smiled at her before she bowed and left.Kael wasn't left out of this also. W
Alexa"Your Majesty, Vivian is here to see you," my chamber guard announced.Damn. How long have I been asleep? I rubbed my sleepy eyes as I dragged my feet off the bed, unlocking the door."Vivian," I said coolly as I let her in."Luna," she smiled as she kept a tray of cut pineapples on the table.She looked brighter and better today and wasn't limping as bad as I remembered."How are you doing today? You were a mess last night," I said as I sat on the bed, blinking repeatedly to adjust my eyes to the light."I'm sorry, Luna. I just missed someone," her voice made out clear.Maybe it was the Alpha who broke her heart. Or a family."Sorry about that, Vivian, but you don't have to dwell on your pain alone, you know. You can share it with someone. Trust me, it would make you feel better," I said, now fully awake.She chuckled a bit, "It's nothing I can't handle, Luna.""Well, you weren't handling it so well yesterday," I rolled my eyes.She smiled calmly this time, looking at my protru
