Elena's POV

“I thought I informed you to cancel all meetings, Monica”, Horace said in a stern, deep voice, his expression suddenly changed from flirty to dead serious.

I quickly fastened my robe and walked into the kitchen pantry, standing by the door to eavesdrop on the conversation.

“Yes, you did and but...”,

“But what?”

The wavy-haired woman hesitated.

“The council called for an emergency meeting. They say it's urgent, and they want to meet with the Alphas of every district. It may be of national concern”, she said, last minute, drumming her nails against the flat board.

She was beautiful. I couldn't deny that. Her hair, her clothes, and even her demeanor screamed high class and luxury. I wondered who she was. Not really, tho, because with the way she spoke, she obviously worked for Horace.

Maybe his personal assistant.

A tinge of jealousy washed over me suddenly.

“What the hell, Elena, it's not like you two are married?”

“I am not going to be attending. Tell them that”, Horace sai

    Elena’s POV.Ashanti had struck again, and all of Crimson Moon now had my name on their lips.But what she didn’t know was that by releasing the fake news to the public, she had dug her own grave.The chief of the Armed Forces sat in the living room with Horace and i.He had run to the White House the moment the news first broke, already sure that I had no involvement in it but searching for any evidence that could point to the people who released the news, as he claimed to have been investigating the case for a while.“So how long have you been investigating the case, and what evidence have you managed to gather?” Horace asked, sitting opposite the chief.“Well, we began investigating the case when we first noticed the inconsistencies of certain products coming into the pack. We sent a letter to the council of elders, and an investigation was called upon immediately. However, ever since we began, we unfortunately have found nothing.Well, until this breakthrough in the news.”“And h

    Ashanti’s POVA month had passed, and I was still on the run from the police force. My face was plastered all over the city, and getting food from the grocery was so difficult that at times I had no choice but to starve in my room.Thankfully, I was able to find a motel that promised to be discreet if I paid them heavily, which I did. With all the spending, my savings were already going down, and no matter how much I called my aunt for help, she continuously refused to help with my requests.I didn’t know how long I could last with my new life, but I knew I had to do something about it quickly.If Elena thought I would fold my hands and do nothing after the chaos she and Horace had brought into my life, then she was nothing but a joke.I had one more trick up my sleeve, and I would make sure to use it to the fullest.I got a burner phone and was able to reach out to an old contact. Though it took me forever, I was able to persuade her to run the news, as she was still quite angry abou

    Michaels POV“Arrggghhhh!!!. I screamed, flipping my table over as I watched the news on the TV.After my interview about Ashanti, I had tried calling Elena repeatedly, but couldn’t get through to her.At first, I thought it was just one of those things, or was Horace was holding her captive, making me even contemplate marching into the White House to help her out.But with the interview playing before me, I realised something.Elena had played me.She and Horace played on my intelligence, lying to me that they were no longer a couple and she would come back once I exposed my relationship with Ashanti.“I couldn’t believe I fell for the lies, how could I have like myself be so stupid?”I screamed again, punching my hand into the wall.“You're going to hurt yourself, Michael. Calm down.”Monica’s voice sounded behind me, and I immediately got reminded of her presence.The other person convinced me of the breakup. I whipped my head towards her, staring, having nothing but a kill in my mi

    Ashanti’s POVI laid on the floor, already tired of crying.The first few calls I got from my agency let me know that brands were canceling on me. It got so bad that I decided not to receive any more of their calls.As if that wasn’t bad enough, my Auntywent around the house, taunting me about how she warned me to live a better life. To make better choices but that was all she could do. Talk.She didn’t understand anything.She had no idea how hard it was to always be in the shadow of someone who didn’t even make any effort, but just had people kissing her feet for no reason.And I am Ashanti, I can’t be the shadow of anyone. I should always be the light and everyone around me should be dulled out for me to shine brighter, not the other way around.I was so scared to even go online because a lot of my fans who initially stood beside me now soiled my name through the mud, swearing curses at me and gasping their beliefs at the revelations made by Michael.Earlier, I had even tried to c

    Elena’s POV“Why are you looking so stunned? You really thought we would never find you and you’d get away after making such horrendous claims?”She slumped to her knees“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. She forced me; I didn’t want to do it, but she forced me. I swear to you, Alpha.” She said, crying and pleading profusely as her nose ran freely, grief paying no sense to dignity.“Did she now?” Hirace sneered.“You really expect us to believe she forced you, even though you looked so into character while spilling all those lies you were?You really expect me to believe that story?”He added, not really falling for her gimmicks.I just sat there staring silently at her for a while. Taking in every piece of the figure who almost ruined my life, even though she had no idea who I was, all because someone put her up to it. For a price, too, I was certain.She nodded rapidly. “Yes, I saw it. She threatened to have me harassed by her fans and also said I would lose my job if I didn’t do it.”Horace

    Elena’s POV.We sat in the living room watching the news unfold that morning.I scoffed. “Oh wow, he actually did it.”Hirace smirked. “It's long over you. He ought to have done it much earlier, but I guess this is something too.At least now we can move on to the next phase.” He said, turning to me.“How do you feel about it?”I chuckled. “Are you kidding? I feel elated.It’s the absolute best feeling in the world to see your enemies eating each other up.And I wish I could see Michael’s face when I tell him that the deal is fake and I wasn't planning to come back.”“Damn!” he exclaimed jokingly, earning his soft laughter for me.I grinned. A while had passed since I gave Michael the deal, and he hadn’t done anything, and honestly, I was starting to believe that he wouldn’t.I was pretty surprised that morning when Horace yelled for me to come downstairs as Michael‘s face came up on the news.And as we watched him spilling everything, it brought back horrendous memories.The horrible
