Laura was thinking it must be some kind of a joke "how will a stranger take over my father land" she questioned
"Your father doesn't have a male child and the elders think you aren't capable of making the right decisions, so they suggested that Jacob take over" Lorenzo answered even though he doesn't care. "You can be my Luna, I won't mind" Jacob said relaxing his back on the chair as he turned to face her. "You all can take my birthright away from me but I won't stooped so low and become your Luna" she answered in disgust, got up from her seat and walked out of the room She met Cora in her room when she got there, she must have heard the news, she went to her and hugged her "they are giving my title to some stranger" she cried unto her shoulder. Cora started shedding crocodile tears with her, "I heard and have been fighting my father over it, you don't need to cry Laura" she lied "The audacity of him to tell me to become his Luna" Cora was stunned and angry, even with her title gone, she seem to still be gaining attention but an idea struck her "you can accept him" she advised so that she can have Axel all to herself. "I don't even like him and you are telling me to accept someone who is taking away my position" she still can't believe she said that "You won't lose your respect that way" she persuaded "I will rather lose my respect than be his Luna and also I love Axel" she said "You will be okay, let me go see if I can talk to father" she stood up from her bed and left her with smile crept on her face. She ran into Axel and quickly pulled him into a corner "so will you accept me now that she lost her title" she caress is chest "What are you talking about" he is just coming back and haven't hear anything "I see you haven't see anyone to tell you the news, we are having a new alpha" she smiled Axel smacked her hand off his chest "what about Laura" she must be depressed right now Cora wanted to punch his face when he mentioned her name but composed herself "don't you hear what I just said"she half yelled "I thought she is your friend Cora but you don't seems to care" Axel stared at her "Of course she is my friend and I felt pity for her" she displayed "But I did not pull you hereto talk about her" "Stop being delusional Cora, Laura is the person that I love and not you" "You will rather be with an ordinary person order than the beta daughter" "I don't care about her title in the first place so why should I care now" he pushed her slightly back "if you will excuse me. I am sure she will need me if what you just said is true" he then walked away. Cora stare at his retrieving figure, she was more finer with curves than Laura, why can't he just see that and picked her instead, she stomped her feet and walked to her father chamber. "What is the matter dear, she isn't the alpha again and the coronation of the new alpha is taking place tomorrow" her father said "I know but she seems to be getting on my nerves"she replied grabbing herself a drink from the fridge. "You don't need to worry yourself , you are of higher rank more than her now and you will be getting all the attention" the father knew how much his daughter value attention a lot "So who is the new alpha and I even heard he was trying to make Laura is Luna" he inquired "I think he felt pity that he was taking her title" he self was shocked when Jacob suggested and when he asked why, all he did was praised her but he couldn't tell his daughter that. "If only Axel can just see me" she lamented "Are you talking about that warrior, you both should be together by now" Lorenzo replied She laughed "he does not even see me, all he talks about is Laura this and Laura that" "I am sure he will soon come back to his sense once another alpha is coronated and she is not anymore" "I wish because seeing the both of them together is painful" "He will" he assured Axel went to Laura room immediately he left Cora and was surprised to see her packing her stuff "what are you doing" he asked stopping her "Axel, they finally got what they want, I am not longer the alpha to my father pack" she cried hitting him on his chest continuously "I just heard about it but why are you packing your things" he questioned holding her hands "This is the royal chamber, I can't wait for them to come throw my things out" she answered "No one dare to do, this is your room, they might take away your title but deep down, you know you are born an alpha" he consolidated her "Thank God I have you and Cora" she hugged him Axel wants to to tell her the kind of person Cora was but he knew now is not the time "so, have you meet the new alpha" "I met him in the woods today, he was happy taking my title" "Don't think about it, you are born for greater things" he sat down on the bed "I hope you won't leave me too" she sat on the bed too facing him "at least now that I am just an ordinary person in the pack" "I love you Laura, not because of your title but because of you are you" he said She was speechless as she kissed him, there was no fireworks or tingles in her tummy but she does not care because she love him, Axel drew her closer to himself as he deepened the kiss "I am ready" she told him Axel knew what she was talking about, she wants to mate with him "I want it to be special and I know Now is not the time Laura, you are sad" he said "I am fine" she replied acting strong "You don't know what you are saying, let me help you keep your clothes back, he stood up and start helping her folds back her clothes into her closet . "You don't want me" Laura suddenly asked him He paused instantly and went back to her "Don't ever say that again, I want you more than anything" he held her chin "do you understand " he asked again and she nodded.The following day, Laura was forced to wake up early by Lorenzo, he has told her she needs to be there to announce the new alpha, Laura knew it was a lie, he just want her to feel shame in front of her people. She haven't seen Cora since yesterday and she was certain she must have felt bad for what her father was doing to her , she couldn't blame her though, she quickly dress up . The whole ceremony, Laura tries to put a smile on her face, she hid her sadness inside of her even when she announced Jacob to be their new alpha. Some people cheered happy they got rid of her while some genuinely felt bad for her. She ran to her room before she breaks down in front of them and Axel who has been watching her the whole time followed her. "Laura" he calls after her running She didn't stopped until she barged her door open, she let the tears roll down her cheeks "I want to be alone" she told him "I am not leaving you alone, why do you want to hurt yourself
Blood pack Vincent just finished having his breakfast when his best friend and beta entered "I can't believe those people can be so cruel" he took a chair for himself "Adam, what is it again""They remove their alpha and appoint someone else""I heard she is a female, she deserved it" Vincent replied unmoved"You don't need to be heartless just because of what your ex wife did to you""You don't know, she might be removed because she is sleeping around" he insisted "I heard it's because she refused to come and sign treaty with you" he said"I won't have signed that shit, that pack is filled with selfish and greedy people""I couldn't agree more but that doesn't mean they should remove their Alpha""That is their problem, I want to go for a run today, do you want to join me""You know I will never miss running with you""And you know I will always beat you" Vincent replied laughing hard "and before I forget, get a leash on that sister of yours"Adam knew of his sister obsessio
Laura still hasn't gotten over what Tracy told her, she trying to connect the dots and they all seem to end the same way, if they have removed her from her position because of this blood pack, it's possible was killed for the same reason but what exactly is the reason. She wondered. She needed some one to talk to because she couldn't sleep that night but she doesn't want to go to Cora because she will be in her father chamber and wasn't ready to face Lorenzo yet , she decided to go visit Axel in his chamber instead."Hello, are you sleeping already" she peeped in into his room"No, what happened, what are you doing here" he asked waking up hearing her voice "You seems surprised to see me" she doesn't want to make him uncomfortable "Yes, I thought you were sleeping already" he answered truthfully "I couldn't sleep, I have a lot on my mind" she murmured as she was still standing by the door"Come here then" he patted to his side on the beShe closed his door door back and walked t
"No, I can't trust you, nor your selfish dad, I knew you are doing all this for me to leave Laura, and that's never gonna happen." Axel spat."Will you stop this already? Stop acting like she is somehow better than me, look at my face, I'm prettier and I got the nicest curves in this whole pack, she is no one, no one but a low life, while I'm the beta's daughter." Cora half yelled."I don't care about her position, I loved her for who she is and not for what she has, you may think your father snatched everything from her, but in my eyes, and in my heart, she will forever remain an Alpha, the greatest Alpha I ever know." Axel said."Well then, keep on watching, I can't wait for the day, your precious Laura will marry the new Alpha in front of your eyes and there is nothing you can do, do you even think Laura will ever settle for a warrior like you when she has an Alpha who is willing to give her respect back to her, in the face of the society, while all you can do is to look at her eye
Laura disengaged from the hug."I will go to my room now." Laura announced."I'm scared Laura, he is a beast, a demon, what if he comes back again?" Cora asked pretending to be scared."You don't need to be scared, he is so ashamed that he won't dare show his face to us, and if he does, I will make him regret." Laura replied.She bade her bye and Cora laughed evilly."It's time for me to get my Axel poor Laura; I can't believe you are foolish to this extent." Cora soliloquies.*Laura walked to her room with a heavy heart, even Claudia was silent, she was happy they enjoyed pleasure just yesterday and now, her girl is in so much pains.She walked with tears falling from her eyes, and when she arrived at her chamber.She fall on the floor, crying really loud, loud enough for everyone to hear her pains, she destroyed everything her hands could touch."Why is my life so cruel to me? Why!" She yelled and slammed the flower vase on the ground."Why Axel, I had love you so much!" She added
"What! Why will Cora do that?" Tracy asked."I don't want to say this, but I will, since I'm going far away from this place, you just have to trust me, I didn't intend to rape Cora, she kissed me and blamed it on me, she was crying and Laura believe it, believing that she has been her best friend for ages and she will never lie to her." Axel said."Cora told me that, Laura has agreed to be Jacob Luna, since he promised to bring her respect back to her, the respect of the people and the beta." He added."What! That didn't Happened, I heard when Laura was yelling at that Jacob that she will rather remain no one than to be his Luna, that Cora most be a witch, oh my God, we need to tell Laura everything, you can't just leave." Tracy exclaimed."I will give this letter to you, please give it to her tomorrow, let her rest for how, also let her know that Cora made her to dethroned her because I refused to love her, she has been in love with me since before I asked Laura to be my girlfriend,
Axel ignored her and left, he even kicked her hand when she held his legs.She runs to her room angrily, crying and breaking things."I hate her, I hate her!" She screamed.Her dad, the beta heard her and he rushed to her."What is wrong with you baby, who dare made you cry like this? I'm not gonna spare him or her." He asked."I hate her father, I want her to suffer, I want her to feel ashamed, I want everyone to hate her turn against her, I want her thrown out of this pack with the citizens throwing stones on her, she ruined my happiness, she ruined my life, she took Axel from me, she took my happiness from me father." Cora sobbed."Even after creating a huge fight between them, he still doesn't want me father, what should I do?" Cora added."Indeed, anyone that makes my daughter sad will taste it too, I know of a way that all you wished upon that girl will happen, but it will make you sad." The beta said.She paused."What is it father, I will do anything to see her suffer, to stop
The next day.**Laura's chamber**The sun light shines in her face and she struggled to open her eyes, her head hurts baldy."Axel, are you there?" She asked trying to sit up."Axel! My head hurts so badly, I need a massage." She added."Axel is not here your highness." Tracy said.Laura opened her eyes."Was I calling his name?" Laura asked."Yes Laura, you are already missing him."Tracy replied."I will eventually stop, I will surely stop."Laura said staring at the mess she created in the room last night."I don't want to ever see his face again; he is a betrayer, a liar." Laura added."Yes your highness, you won't see him again, he already left, he gave me this to give you." Tracy replied.Her heart skipped when she heard he left.She was angry but she didn't mean he should leave.She accepted the letter and unfolds the paper.Tears started falling from her eyes as she starts reading."To my dear Laura, the woman in my heart, seeing you alone make me stronger, your face brightens
