CHAPTER 152Claus It's been three days, and none of the women who consumed the poisonous water woke up. It's not like I cared about the rest but Camila is my Luna. I somehow needed her brains to achieve more things so I couldn't let her just die like that. And my poor mother.“Doctor, how are they?" I asked.“Things are still the same Alpha we will let you know—”It's been three damn days and the doctor is talking about letting me know if there are changes. That was already adding to my frustrations. I thought Duskrend would pay but my own people are paying for my wicked crime.I've also still not forgotten how Zion humiliated me before my men. I had agreed to meet him, hoping that he would talk about surrendering Duskrend, but no.I got the worst humiliation ever. I could tell my men were ashamed of me at that moment but there was nothing I could do at that moment. A part of me didn't want to bow but when he mentioned the Moonfire. I felt shivers run down my spine. It was as if h
CHAPTER 151Aria I knew that was the dark wind. My Mom had told me about it as a child and I've always looked out for it. I gave Zion powder for the burnt offerings on the Goddess’s Temple after I applied some because it would chase the wind away.I was in no mood to be scared, so I made my way out with Zion just to find Deveny at the door. “Deveny," Zion whispered as he looked at her while I asked what she was doing there.“I've come to ask for your forgiveness Luna. Please, I don't want to lose my job." She went down lying on my toes. I just wanted to go back home at that moment so I asked her to get up.“Have you forgiven me?" she asked looking up.“Yes I'm not mad at you," I said, helping her get up before we made our way into the forest and shifted to head back to the Pack House.We were a little late and found the maids cleaning up the dining table. Thea was still waiting at the entrance and just looked at Deveny when we got to the door.I could tell she was wondering what
CHAPTER 150Zion It's been years since I've seen a protest happening in Duskrend. Whispers had it that something bad would happen if the people tried anything noisy.Whenever there was a complaint, it would be brought to Thea so that she would take it to the council, but ever since we won the first war against Nightshade. Things changed but I didn't want to worry that much because I thought the Pack was still getting to accept the rogues that had become a part of us.After all that happened at the council's office. Aria and I took a nap but I woke up before her to get some water when I found that Deveny was in the kitchen. I could tell the maids had gone out or something.She greeted me and then asked if I needed anything when I told her that I had come to get some water. Without being asked she asked me to hold on and poured me a glass of water.I know I wasn't supposed to be looking at her in that way but the look she gave me just made a strange feeling come over me. I don't even
CHAPTER 149Aria “Those people are going to take our land!" “Yes, they don't deserve to be a part of us." “We could have won even without them." Everyone kept shouting anything that they felt like saying and we were struggling to calm the crowd. The High Council elders were cheering from a distance.“Aria, you need to go back inside. These people are getting upset," Thea whispered.“No, I'll be fine here," I responded.The people kept saying different stuff until one decided to throw a glass in our direction. Zion saw it coming and got me out of harm's way in time.“What have you done?!" I shouted, my eyes turning purple while the crowd went mute as my voice echoed.“Aria, calm down," Zion said, trying to hold my hand, but I couldn't.My hair started moving without the wind blowing it, and fear was awakened in that moment. “What did you all say?" I asked, looking at the crowd whose heads were now looking down with their faces dressed in shame.“Go and don't come make noise here a
CHAPTER 148Aria I was still with the Luna-born female wolves when the twins came running as if something was chasing them. I could hear them screaming so quickly and rushed to meet them halfway. They tried to catch their breath when they got to me and then told me what they heard the council elders say.When the news reached my ears, I was shocked and couldn't digest it immediately, but something bad was surely about to come from this. “Aria is everything OK?" Thea and Patricia asked, but I couldn't tell them then, so I just asked them to get their things ready so we could leave.“Luna, will you visit us again?" one of the wolves asked.“Yes I'll be visiting again," I responded before getting into the car.I could see worried Thea's and Patricia's faces. Given how impatient Patricia is I could tell she was going to ask me to start talking.“The high council is planning on making us a rogue state," I said when everyone pulled out their eyes in shock.“What? Are they thinking from
CHAPTER 147Zion When I got home I was told that Aria had gone to purify the main tap. I couldn't get what Patricia was trying to explain, even though I gave her my full attention. I was getting worried, so I asked Bruno to get the car she had gone in and we managed to track them down. I could tell that they were not so far away so I just waited.After a few minutes, the car got home, and when the door opened, Aria was weakly lying on the seat. I rushed to pick her from the car.I was so mad nobody told me a thing when all this was going on. Seeing Aria in a weak state just pierced through my entire being.I was hopeful that she would come around the next morning so I just fell asleep on a chair beside her in case she needed something.The next morning, a movement from her legs woke me up, and I quickly looked at her, thinking she needed something, but she assured me that she was OK.We took a shower and then later had breakfast together before going to check on Deveny who was still
