—And all negotiations come with a price.

“Alpha Dablo, you are going to have me in return,” Liliana's voice echoed before Alpha King Dablo could walk out on her. 

Dablo turned to look at her, trying to make sense out of what she just said. Even though the lady sitting in front of him is nothing but an Omega, he is very sure even a runt won't pull out this joke. 

Not when she knows what she is offering means death wish!

“If It is not enough, I would offer you my life,” Liliana added, her voice laced with sincerity. 

“I don't…” Dablo's voice trailed off the moment he recalled his Beta's words. 

They will be having a pack meeting tomorrow and he definitely knows the elders won't hesitate to talk him into picking another Luna which he is done with. 

Not after how he lost his last Luna. 

“You would offer me your life? Interesting,” Dablo muttered with a titled lip. 

After sitting down, he asked, “Who do you want to ruin and how do you want them to be ruined?”

Liliana's face brightened with a smile as she heard the questions she had been looking forward to. 

She adjusted, making sure every plan she had in her head poured out effortlessly into words. 

“It is my ex-husband Alpha Martin. And I want to ruin him in bits. I want everything he cherished to slip out of his hands. I want him to be reduced to nothing. I want to watch him experience pain. I want to make him think even hell is a child's play compared to what he would face,” she muttered, each word rolling like they had been in competition in her head. 

“If you would be my Luna, consider everything you listed done,” Dablo said calmly even though he isn't sure whether to help her or not. 

The last thing he wants to do is ruin an innocent person and Martin? He is the saint Alpha in the werewolf kingdom. 

“Yes. Yes, I would be your Luna.”

“Meet me in the pack Icehouse tomorrow. Make sure to be there on time or I would consider this conversation a joke,” with that said, Dablo walked out of the hall, leaving Liliana who was more than excited. 

She almost screamed out in excitement. She can't wait to share the news with Agatha. 

“Miss, we are here,” the driver's voice snapped Liliana out of her thoughts. 

She quickly paid the driver, got down from the car before rushing into the apartment. 

“You are so stubborn—”

“I met Alpha King Dablo,” Liliana, who couldn't wait to share everything with Agatha, interrupted her. “He is going to help me if I become his Luna.”

“And you agreed?”

“Agatha, why won't I? He agreed to help me with what I want,” she replied.

“What? You mean you… You like… No, Liliana!” Agatha stammered as she yelled at the same time. “Wait, you actually really agreed to become his Luna? Of all things, Liliana! Of all things?”

“Calm down Agatha,” Liliana said, trying to make sense of the reason why Agatha is so frustrated. 

She knows Alpha King Dablo is ruthless. In fact, he is a devil walking with ice dreadlocks and red-green eyes… But what is so wrong with becoming his Luna?

“I can't calm down, Ana,” Agatha paused. “You know what you did out there? You just signed your death wish, Ana.”

“Uh?”

“Yes. It is a death wish cause three of his brides died,” without waiting for Liliana who was confused to throw a question her way, she continued. “Within a decade, he had lost three Luna, two which he killed with his own hand and the other, she died because he made her lose so much blood before she went into labour.”

“You would be his fourth, Liliana,” Agatha added, anger coursing through her veins. 

After a few minutes of silence between the both of them, Liliana finally spoke up. “Agatha, I died five years ago.”

“If he would help me ruin Martin and make that bastard pay for what he did to me,” she took in a deep breath. “I would offer even my soul if my life isn't enough.”

Martin kept his gaze fixed on the boys who seemed quite different. For males carrying the Alpha bloodline, they are supposed to start showing that trait. They are supposed to at least attempt wolfing out. 

Him and his late brother wolfed out at the age of four but here his sons are five years, yet nothing seems to be happening. 

“Babe, what are you thinking about?” Sarah's voice snapped Martin out of his thoughts. 

“Nothing… I am just thinking of what my Beta told me earlier,” he lied, using what Zach told him hours ago. 

Until he makes his findings, he won't take a step further to challenging Alpha King Dablo. 

Besides, he is fine where he is now. 

“That reminds me,” he paused. “Sarah, our sons are yet to visit the Grand priestess for her blessing and future readings.”

“What… future reading?” Sarah asked hastily. 

She knows if Priestess Ize should set her eyes on those boys, something she didn't want to be revealed would be ripped open. Priestess Ize sees beyond the future. 

Many Alpha princes sent to her for future reading, she sees beyond their future. She sees their past, how they were born and even their dooms…
