Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Nine
I aim at the bull's eye and fire. I miss…..of course. Archery has never been my forte, and more so when I'm agitated. All through the meeting with the event planners, I had been detached, my mind uneasy and restless. The planning team had been a group of three, very excited, very chatty women whom I had left scandalized by my request to wear a red dress for the wedding and coronation. Of course, they hadn't agreed, discussing reasons why I shouldn't like it's a world war I'm about to start. I yielded in the end because even though, they were not direct about it, they insinuated that they'd lose their jobs and possibly their heads if they dressed me in something like that. We had proceeded to go over the little details, decor, food, cake and drink flavours. All the little things I'd have probably been excited to discuss if circumstances were different and this was a wedding I was actually looking forward to. When the meeting ended, I had been more than glad to finally escape their com
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Ten
Much against my will, Luca's words keep ringing in my head. At 5'9 and with an athletic lifestyle, I do tend to look thinner than I actually weigh but this time, it's different. I've truly lost weight massively since I came into this pack. As begrudging as I feel, maybe I do need to eat more and hit the gym. And that's exactly what I do on this evening.I change into a pair of comfortable gym wear and let Anna lead me to the location. Stopping a good distance from the doorway, she informs me that it's a private gym for only the alpha and I and that she wasn't allowed in. I don't complain, I doubt I'd have had much use for her anyways since I have my headphones. I begin my usual routine and it's only when I start to feel the slow burn in my muscles that I acknowledge that maybe I've done enough for the night. And even then, I don't stop. If I'm going to be the strongest possible version of myself, I'm going to have to push my body way harder than I normally would. Everyone here is an
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Eleven
I'm hit by an overwhelming wave of nausea as I slowly regain consciousness. I think I can will it away at first, keep my eyes closed and force the contents of my stomach to stay down. But that proves to be a big fail when I'm lurched up from the bed by the aggressive upheaval. I throw my head over the side of the bed, launching everything inside me onto the shiny floor.I don't know how long I remain there, puking out my guts but at some point, I feel someone's warm hand on my back as they pat me reassuringly. When I'm done, I feel the most hollow I've ever felt. In this moment, it's hard to believe I still have organs inside of me, it really does. It feels like I've thrown it all up. My eyes flit open a tiny fraction and that's when I see that all along, it's not just the shiny floor I've been puking on. There's a pair of smart, now puke-covered shoes in front of me. I try to muster some strength to form the words to apologize to whoever it is but it's just not happening. My body col
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Twelve
I stare into the mirror blankly as I pull the brush through my severely tangled hair. The past two days have gone by in a daze, with me trying to uphold a strong facade in front of everyone and then going ahead to cry myself to sleep every night. I'm not a crier, have never really been. But the emotional exhaustion of my situation is beginning to get to me. I knew I wasn't welcome here but an assassination attempt and by someone like Anna is extreme even for me. I find myself thinking of her at the most random times. I remember how excited she had been on the first day we met. What had been going through her head? Was this her plan all along? Did she act alone? Had there been other attempts that failed? What finally made her break that day? And most importantly, what did I do to deserve that?I need some kind of closure, but I definitely won't be getting that anytime soon, if not ever. But in the mean time, I'm once again reminded of the fact that I can never get too comfortable arou
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Thirteen
I didn't think it was possible for the room to grow any more quiet than it already was but I was so wrong. I go as stiff as a rod as all the eyes fix on me. I push up from my seat slowly, the anger simmering under my skin."What did you say?". I ask the detective. He plants his hands on the table and leans forward, unsmiling. "I'll repeat myself if you so wish. You are under investigation under the suspicions of faking an assassination attempt and murdering your omega". My body goes cold, so cold that I feel the goosebumps rise on my skin. I glance around the room and to my own surprise, nobody seems too shocked at the accusations. Even Trish. Instead they are all looking at me curiously, waiting for an answer. In this moment, I realize exactly what has been happening. This was never a meeting to investigate, it was a meeting to interrogate me. I fall back to my seat in shocked realization. "So this is what this has been about?". I whisper, the betrayal evident in my voice. I don't
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Fourteen
I'm sitting alone in my room when I hear the knock. I glance at the door, hesitant to open it. It has to be Trish on the other side of it, I can just tell. After the meeting yesterday, I had walked out of the board room and straight to my quarters, locking the door behind me and making no moves to open it ever since. A part of me definitely feels betrayed by Trish. As much as I understand that she owes me nothing and also doesn't trust me as much as the rest, it still hurts to know she was aware fully aware of the suspicions all this time and has probably considered them herself. So when she had followed me upstairs yesterday night, I had been loathe to open the door. I'm not sure what to say or how to act.A second round of knocks land on the door, more firmly this time."Valeria, please open up". She calls out. I stare at the door emptily, considering my options. In all honesty, I can't hide here forever. I'm going to have go out there and face the world at some point. But maybe I'm
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Fifteen
"Luna!!!!". The event planners yelp excitedly as I walk into the room. I remind myself to paste a smile on but this is really going to be hard. I'm beyond loathe to do any of this, plan a wedding like it's not about to be the worst day of my life. It has come as a great disappointment to me when I found out that Draaven is not willing to cancel the wedding. I'd think this would be the perfect excuse to. "Hey….". I call out warmly as I lean forward and give each of them a short hug. They are dressed in outrageous outfits ranging from feather to fur. These people only seem to get worse each time I meet them. "... it's nice to see y'all again". I'm getting better at this lying thing. I make intentional efforts to keep the smile on my face as I walk further into the room with them."Of course, of course it is". Raya, who seems to be the head says. "We've worked so hard to ensure your dresses are finished within the given time frame. Are you excited to try them on?". She sounds so gleeful
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Sixteen
I'm returning from my history class when I meet an omega standing by my room door. She's a meek thing and when she sees me approaching, she straightens dramatically and keeps her head bowed. I eye her suspiciously as I approach. Ever since the incident, it's safe to say I've been more than a little too cautious around everybody. As much of a hassle as it is, I insist on getting my water by myself and when I'm served dinner, I eat in little bites, half expecting some poison to kick in at any moment in time. It's sad that this is the reality I have to live now, in constant fear of my life. My head still aches from my encounter with Eva earlier in the day. I've told myself many times to ignore everything she said. She's just a brat who'd literally sell her heart out to get me out of the way after all…but…I can't. I can still see her mouthing the vile words, "A Luna by name….Some other woman occupies your man's heart and bed….". I've assured myself many times that I'm riled up only becaus
