Chapter 42Alexa's POVI pull the bathrobe closer to my drenched and cold body. The guards let me walk between them and directed me toward the dungeon. I walk silently in my heavy and drenched clothes. My clothes are not the only things that feel heavy, even my heart is heavy, filled with grief.“Luna,” the guards called out to me. I look up at them, and they gesture for me to enter the dungeon, where they just opened the doors. I quietly entered without making a fuss, they locked the door securely and took the key along with them. I took a look around the dungeon since I will be staying there for a while. It had a foul odor and blood stained the walls, I didn't want to think about what must have happened to the people who had been there. I am all alone in my cell, but I could hear some moans, and groans of pain, and discomfort coming from other cells. This cell is a lot cleaner than I expected. They might have given me the least polluted one because of my status.The cell I shared w

Chapter 44Alpha Kai's POVThe guard is right. She really is dead. I could no longer hear her heartbeat. This was also the reason no one could trace her scent, the water washed everything away.“Everyone, to the pack house now!” I ordered the pack members who were present and whispering among themselves. They all immediately start trooping inside.“What is going on?” Alexa asks, coming towards the pool. “Oh my!” she screeched when she saw the lifeless body of the maid.I walked towards where she was and crouched to properly inspect her body. From the way her skin was pale and her stomach swollen due to the amount of water intake, she must have drowned for more than an hour. Such a thing has never happened in the pack before. The maids and guards were all werewolves, so it will be very unlikely for her to drown this easily.“Do you think someone killed her?” Alexa asks anxiously.Murder? That was one of the many probabilities.“Don't be silly, who would want to kill a maid and why?” Am

Chapter 46Alexa's POV“W…what do you mean by that?” I stutter, laughing nervously. Does he know? He knows, else why would he ask me a question like that? I concentrate deeply on my food, avoiding his gaze. My mind went into overdrive, thinking of every possible scenario that might be going through his head.“I mean, you don't look or behave like you were a slave at all,” he replies.“Is there a way a slave is supposed to look and behave?” I chuckle, still avoiding eye contact with him. I'm scared he might be able to decipher all that I'm feeling right now if I make the mistake of gazing into his eyes.“Come on Lexa, you know what I mean you behave…. extremely different from normal slaves, I can't place my finger on what exactly it is, but I just know it,” he explains confidently.I try to calm my racing heart because I very well know that werewolves have a special sense of hearing and I know he can hear the way my heart is beating very fast. Even though it hurts me to lie to the only

Chapter 48Alexa's POVFinally.The day has finally come. I am elated that the Alpha gave me such a responsibility for the first time. Well, even if it was Amelie who suggested it. Who cares? All that matters is I will finally be able to prove myself to the Alpha.“Kira,” I call out in a sing-song voice, running into my room and giggling excitedly.“Luna, you shouldn't run, you might fall,” Kira says hurriedly, coming towards me. She always fusses so much over me like I'm still a child. I held her hands.“Kira, get me the most beautiful dress from my closet, the most expensive pieces of jewelry that you can find, and you have to make me look gorgeous today,” I say, smiling widely. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I can't afford to meet two Alphas as the Luna of the crescent pack under dressed.“Yes Luna, anything for you,” she replies. I've grown to really like Kira. She isn't pretentious or sucks up to me because I'm the Luna, she always speaks the truth even if it doesn'

Chapter 50Ace's POVThat dress. That body. Her scent. Everything about her has been driving me crazy throughout dinner. Her dress was not helping matters at all. She looks like a tempting seductress in her red dress. She was pacing around and speaking, but I could not hear a word she was saying. I think I've had a little too much to drink. She turns around abruptly, still speaking but my eyes and senses were trained somewhere else. Her dress had gone down lower than before, she must have dragged it down mistakenly. Her cleavage which was teasingly a bit out of her dress before is now on full display. What is wrong with me? Why do I feel like this when they've been so many naked women on my bed, more than I can count? But why is Alexa different? Why does my body react so much to her?However, my body has a mind of its own, I was not aware when I walked towards her and hugged her tightly. I inhale her scent deeply, which was a big mistake because every ounce of control I had left in m
