Alpha Martins POV
My heart was beating fast and my wolf, Max was getting agitated. "How could our mate do this to us? That means she doesn't love us." He whimpered.I stormed out of the room to catch my breath and figure it out all . I didn't want to look like a weakling in front of so many people. It hurts, but I dare not cry. What I should do at least is to imprison her.One part of me is furious while the other part is still fighting to accept the fact that she killed my niece and cheated on me with a mere servant.I walked back calmly into the room and gave my order."Beta Carl, summon my prison guards to arrest her. Although she is the Luna, she has committed a grevious crime that is punishable by our law. As for this servant who had the nerves to sleep with my wife, he should be flogged thirty lashes of cane before thrown into the cell.""Father, I am sorry about what happened and to think that it happened on a happy day like this, I feel so ashamed. Happy birthday, father." I said." You can still enjoy the party or retire home if you wish. But if you would please, I'd like to excuse myself." I said before turning to leave.I cast one last look at Ashley crumpled on the floor and then left. I walked straight to my separate room. I feel like I need sometime to think and process all that had just happened.I have lived with her for two years and to think that she would cheat on me and I'd get disgraced in front of the people I'm leading is something I never imagined."Let's go for a run. Sitting inside is not doing me any good." My wolf, Max said.I stood up and was about to go out when I heard a knock on the door."I specifically said I do not want anybody to disturb me including you, beta Carl. So why..." Before I could finish, a voice came from outside. I had thought it was beta Carl knocking."It's me, Luciana.""Come in." I said although I doubted why she is here to see me."I know what happened earlier came as a shock to you and you are quite devastated. I didn't think Ashley could do such a thing to you. I thought it would be right to spill everything out. I hope you don't think that I did something bad or I'm a wicked friend." She looked at me with those blue enchanting crystal eyes.I couldn't resist it and I lowered my guards down."No, it's fine. You did the right thing. I just still can't believe she would do such a thing to me. Ashley doesn't look like she could do that on the outside." I said, sitting on the bed with my hands cupped over my face.While I bent my face over, she came closer and sat with me on the bed. She drapped one hands over my shoulders and drew me into her embrace. Her scent was taking over me. The scent of strawberries and chocolate!I looked at Luciana and suddenly realized that she looked different today in my eyes than any other days I might have seen her."Don't think about it too much. She deserves it. I'll be here for you anyways." She said as she pressed her lips on mine.I was startled for a while and fought back the urge to respond to her kisses."Arggh." My wolf growled inside. I know he wants me to do this. I have always been notorious with women since high school and it was so hard for me to resist this one.My wife cheated on me and I don't think I should hold back, besides I am the alpha, who would care to talk anyways.I threw all hesitation to the back of my head and grabbed her waist. I Iocked my lips on hers and dug into her mouth with my tongue."Hold on." She said panting while trying to pull off her top.I pulled her to my laps instead and ripped off her clothes as my hard member was already standing erect.My hands travelled along her naked body touching and sucking her supple breasts while hers on my hard member. We did the deed. It felt so good. The night was blissful and passionate. The birds chirping and the morning sunlight woke me up back to reality, back to a new day.I looked at Luciana lying by my side. She turned around and saw me staring at her. "Good morning." She smiled and gave me a good morning kiss."Morning. How are you feeling?" I said."I should be asking you that instead. I should get going now." She chuckled and and rose to put on her clothes."Alright, I'll see you later." I saidWell there was no time for me to dilly daily so I sprang up from bed as I wouldn't want to be late for work."Beta Carl, what's my schedule for today after my training this morning?" I said to him through my mind link." And get to my room quickly.""Alright, alpha. I'll be there in a jiffy." Beta Carl replied.He was soon in my room and he wouldn't let my ears rest with different questions I would rather not answer.He kept pestering me even as I walked out of the room for my morning training."Will you go see the Luna? Maybe it's not true and it's just a false allegation she was forced to accept under threat. Probably there might be a way to vindicate her." He looked at me expectantly to give him a positive response.With the look in his eyes, he wasn't going to budge."I'll try." I said just to refrain him from speaking further on the matter."But don't you think your students will be waiting for their instructor now?""Oh shit! I'll have to run along then." He said as he ran to meet up in time.Ashley's POV"Beta Carl, summon my prison guards to arrest her. Although she is the luna, she has committed a grevious crime that is punishable by our law." It kept reaching my ear and a single tear fell down my cheek as it felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest.I know I did wrong in the past and I am willing to accept my punishment but I can't accept that he wouldn't trust me as his wife who would never cheat on him.Why me? Why am I on the receiving end with no good thing? What have I ever done to deserve this? I wanted to scream and shout at Luciana.How could I not know she was the one behind all of this after what happened yesterday?" She deliberately drugged me, set me up with that servant and betrayed me.Lola my wolf howled in pain in my head and I doubled over in pain clutching at my chest. I suddenly felt nauseous and bent over the floor with my hands over my mouth.Am I not well? A stench hit my nose at the corner where I sat and I quickly concluded that it m
Ashley's POVI couldn't believe my ears. Pregnant? I knew she is mischievous and evil but how dare she call my child a bastard.But this was not the time to leap on someone as my head was spinning. The figures in front of me tripled and I blacked out. What keeps happening to me?Splash! I jerked up, waking up with my clothes drenched in water. One of the guards had poured a bucket of water on me in an attempt to wake me up.As I opened my eyes, I noticed Luciana was no longer in the cell. Two maids came into the cell and one I could recognize as Julie the pack's midwife and nurse."Luna, please excuse me." She said bowing her head slightly before getting down to business. She examined me for a while before leaving. I was left all alone again.The two guards kept whispering by the door and although it was faint whispers, my wolf hearing was still alert. I could hear them talking about telling the alpha something about me."You shouldn't have done that. What if it complicates the issue
Luciana POV"Now, bitch you can finally get out of my way." With an expressionless face, I stood watching Ashley been tortured to death."Finally, there is relief in my heart." Even my wolf is at peace. One would think of me as a wicked friend. Wicked is even an understatement. If there is a quality much bigger than wicked, I'll gladly accept it."Hehehe, who cares about Ashley anyways?"For the past two centuries, I've been a shadow his in her own shadow.First off, she took Martains away from me, stole my position as the Luna and still stood in my way, preventing me from actualizing my dream."I thank the moon goddess for giving me such an innocent face. Nobody is ever going to blame me directly for anything with my looks on the outside."I watched Ashley groaning in pain as the whip tore through her flesh. She was trying to endure on her own and had even blocked out her wolf from helping her.Gradually, she lost it and her eyelids closed in utter surrender. She was gone! Gone forev
Ashley's POVI can hear rustling leaves whispering something in the gentle breeze. The chirping birds discussing from one end to the other with their melodious call reverberating through the woods.I was not sure where I was, just that I am in an empty wood devoid of any being except for the birds and the rustling leaves.I cannot remember everything that happened.I sat up with a gasp as I recalled something just as a flash. Me being a strong wolf, a Luna and my sudden death without really remembering how I died.These were the only things I remembered. My head ached in pain as I tried to recall further what must have happened.I thought I was dead, but here I am, lying in an unknown place. Thirsty and dry, I got up and walked for a while looking for water to quench the burning thirst in my throat.From a distance from where I had walked, I could see a small stream and my pace quickened in that direction.I bent down and scooped up water with my hands from the stream and drank to m
Martains POVI allowed myself to bask in Luciana's scent. It gradually followed me till I slumped on my bed like a dead log of wood."Goodnight." This was the only word I said to her before closing my eyes in deep slumber in her arms.....Just before dawn, I woke up. On other days, I wake up at dawn to carry out my daily morning routines.I woke up with arms wrapped around my torso and slender, long legs tangled in mine. It took me a while to realize that I wasn't in my bed alone and the memories of last night came rushing back.I looked at Luciana and then down to her stomach. I felt nothing much but for the sake of our child and the effort she has shown in being by my side through all these times, I might as well consider that.Untangling myself from Luciana, she snuggled herself deeper into my neck but I gently removed her hands and legs and got up.I dressed up lightly and went down to the pack's gym to relieve myself.As I kept swinging punches at the punching by, I thought abou
Lance POV"What did you just say? You found the commander, my wife, Olivia?" I asked repeatedly to make sure I heard him well."Yes, beta. We are still at the border with her." He replied."Just wait there, I'm coming over to see for myself." I said before closing the mindlink and hurrying out to confirm if it was really Olivia, my wife.I pray to the moon goddess that she is the one. I have been through a lot of hell for the past two years without her.Searching frantically over the place and over different packs for even a scent but there was no trace anywhere.She disappeared without a trace during a fight between a rival pack and ours. She had just given birth then and was too weak to fight but she joined in the fight nevertheless.Up till this day, I regret that decision of allowing her fight. If I had strongly refused, my dear wife would never have gone missing, leaving our new born child and me alone.I kept walking briskly at first but started running. Everyone I passed by loo
Ashley/Olivia's POV"Oh! My dear Olivia. It's good to have you back. We've searched all over for you. I have to a lot questions to ask." This lady that came in kept rambling from one point to another non stop."Shhsh! Eloise, calm down. She just got back and needs some time to rest and not noise ringing in every corner of her ear." Beta Lance who was sitting by my side spoke now."Huh! Are you calling me a noise maker now? In fact, why didn't you tell me you had seen my friend? I only got wind of the news spreading round town and rushed down here.""Well, I was about to tell you. My bad! Pardon me, okay?" Waving his hands in the hair in a bid to explain himself, he said with a rather apologetic tone."I'll let this slide because of this joyous moment." She replied, giving in to his plea."Where is my friend? Where is Olivia?" She asked, not noticing I had been sitting here all this while."Do you have some eye defects?" Lance asked in a sarcastic tone.It was then she saw me and reali
Ashley's/Olivia's POVI felt a tap on my shoulders and something tugging at my legs. As I turned to look back, a bright light shone brightly on my face. I was blinded by the light for an instant and tried to scream but I heard an alluring voice in my head."Come to me, dear. Your wishes are granted. This is a new opportunity, use it well." The light started to recede and I felt my head lurch in the darkness that had now overwhelmed the whole place. I was about to scream when I woke up with a gasp only to realize I had been dreaming."What is it? Are you okay?" I heard another voice ask me.Where is that voice coming from? I turned to see two eyes peering at me in the dark. I was taken aback and tried to turn on the light by the bedside but couldn't find it.The eyes moved closer and closer until they crossed over me and a hand turned on the light by my side.My heartbeat rate only reduced back to normal when I saw the face and that it was Lance."What are you doing here on the bed, b
