120 "That what?" Agnes asked impatiently. "That i am the next in line to rule the pack? As the Alpha?" Ace bluffed and I shot him a death glare. How dare he say that? He is not even showing any sign that he will be the next Alpha in line. How would he explain that? "Without showing any sign of an Alpha, you can't rule." Elder Miguel completed. Agnes sprang up and hit her palm on the table. Why the hell can't this woman just calm the fuck down? She just needs to listen and hear the truth. The bitter truth that will ruin them forever. "What are you trying to insinuate?" Agnes blurted and the Elders stood up at her at once. Together. "Why cant you just listen to us, woman? Why are you such in a hurry? The respect we are still according to you is because you are the past Alpha's mate. We can't just disregard you like that and take the decision behind you. Remember that once the Alpha dies, the mate isn't regarded as the Luna anymore. Do you understand?" Elder Frank buttressed.. A
121 "What if it was a lie? Do you know what she is planning? It might be that she is planning something against you, you know and you believed her. Cmon.. " "I need to go see her. I feel like she is beginning to change for the better." I said and he sighed. "Fine! Then I will follow you." "You don't have to do that all. I will just go on my own." "It's either you let me go with you or you are not stepping out of this house." He muttered. I sighed. Does Agnes really think that she could hurt Aunt Susan? Susan is a very powerful woman. Among the scarlet's pride. She is the superior and Agnes was superior to her. What does she think she could do to Aunt Susan. The first I did when we arrived home was to get a glass of water. I prevented Tyler from getting hurt and I dealt with Ace and Chloe too. Thinking they would hurt him. He is still hasn't discovered his powers yet until he clocks seventeen. He is still sixteen. I had almost drained my power because of them. Those monste
122 He followed behind me. When I got to the entrance. He talked. "How do you know what they are planning?" He asked. "Let's just say everything happened for a reason. I will go sleep now.." I told him and walked away. On getting to the room, I removed my clothes again and dropped them on the couch. This time, I climbed on the bed and slept immediately. * Three days later, We were being called on the phone that our results are out. I felt shivers running down my spine. Oh goodness! I hope I pass. I hope, I hope, I hope. Because this will serve as a stepping stone for me in getting closer to my university days. I was in university when my life was cut short my those stupid bitches. I was ready to go. Anxiety crept into my body when I and Kevin got to school. We were holding hands and that somehow made me calm my nerves down. I was relieved but not exactly. We weren't in our uniforms because some students had planned to throw a party when everyone passed the exam. I was pu
123Chloe was rushed to the hospital but died on their way there. She died on Ace's laps. Ace cried his eyes out and blamed his mother for killing chloe. Agnes got tired and promised to kill Ariel herself. Ariel's POVAmidst the music playing in the evening, I received the other seven customers. I wrote it down so I won't forget. Some people just love crazy combinations of food. How can you suddenly order Ramen and Rice Krispies? Like who does that? I stared at the old-looking woman. She was looking pale and haggard. More in a poor condition. Gross!But I felt pity for her. Where are her children? Does she even have one? Those questions ran across my mind. She doesn't look like she has a family. She smiled at me and I returned the smile. I feel sorry for her though. She was in her old age with no one to take care of her. "You look pretty." She said to me. "Thank you, ma'am," I muttered to her. She reminded me of my grandmother. I wish she is still alive. She compliments me every
124Ace promised to kill Ariel but went insane when Chloe appeared to him telling him to stop that he can't win against her. He laughed hysterically showcasing mental disorder. Kevin proposed marriage to her and she tried to refuse it but then she thought about it and later. She agreed and they got married. They became the youngest Alpha and Luna. Susan called the elders and planned to tell them that it was time for them to reveal the truth about her son. They called meeting between Susan and Agnes. Agnes was told the truth.Agnes got angry including Ace. Chloe fought with them. Agnes used her powers on Susan but got hurt instead. The elders didn't get to make their verdict. Agnes vowed to kill everyone of them. He pulled out and grabbed my waist. He made me turn back and my ass in the air. My two palms were on the bed. This guy is freaking crazy. In my asshole, he slammed into it so hard that I gripped the bedsheet even harder. He didn't slow down for a minute at all. He pummeled
Ariel’s POVEverything was happening very fast, a little too fast. I was sinking and there was nothing I could do about it. I could see the surface of the water, could see the reflected light of the hill as it got farther and farther away from me.I looked downwards, beneath me, and panicked because I knew that I couldn’t help myself. I tried to struggle out of its grip, but I couldn’t. Instead, I lost more precious air.My chest hurt terribly, and even my lungs too felt like they couldn’t hold on any longer. I could feel my heartbeat accelerate and the air I breathed in was suddenly replaced with something heavy.Instinctively, I tried fighting back, I tried fighting against the silliness and the ache; I thrashed around, kicking as I tried to get to the surface of the water but I wasn’t lucky.Instead, it began to hurt even more; it felt like I was being stabbed in the chest with a knife so heavy and sharp that it had swiftly cut through my skin and numbed my body. I tried fighting a
Ariel’s POVAce didn't get to school today. I asked Chloe to accompany me to his house to check on him, acting like I was the concerned one now even if I wasn't. Ace was the alpha's stepson, and the one his mother wanted on the throne even though he was in no way related to the past Alpha by blood.A thought struck me about how they probably took the news when they were told that the past Luna had ordained me to take up her position. A deep twisted part of me wanted me to blurt it out to them but I held my tongue. They would always find out at the appropriate time.As soon as we got to Ace’s house, we walked in on his mother who was in the throne room drinking a Scarlet-colored liquid that bore a seemingly close resemblance with blood. Now that I knew what she was up to, her facial features began to actualize in front of me. Everyone was really blind here. And it's up to me to change that. The only question was how? “Hey baby, how do you do?” She called out to me in a singsong voi
Ariel’s POV I waited for everything to be silent before I slid out from the back of the chair. I knew I couldn't save my nana from the onset but what I didn’t know was that it was going to hurt twice as much when I watched.In my last life, I had come back from the party and met her in the exact spot where she is now. Dead, but this time it was different. It had seen it happen and I knew now that whoever must’ve sent that wind is my enemy. Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked at my poor nana, they couldn't have given her a less painful death to bear. I bent down over her body and noticed blood dripping from her nostrils. This wasn't some ordinary death. You don't go around seeing killing winds passing every day. The witch did this. It had to be some kind of spell. I went into my grandma's study room to look for it. I don't know what it is yet but I was sure to find something. She wouldn't let me in on a normal basis but now that she wasn’t here, I went there and I found a book a
