Chapter Twenty-one— See You SoonIvanna’s POVThe packhouse was bustling with activities. A bit more than usual. I was drowned in an ocean of duties that I barely found time to catch my breath. It didn't help that Mary had her eyes on me, not giving me a slight chance to stretch my aching body or take a little break. I dared to stand and do a little twist, but she was already yelling. "Hey. What are you still waiting for, idiot? Aren’t you going to work?!""As you can see, Ma'am, I’m working," I replied with a subtle eye roll.I stayed down until I was done with all my chores. Settling on the floor, I took a little rest. But here she came again, fierce and mean."Stop lazing around and go help out in the kitchen!""Yes, ma’am." I stood, ignoring the pain resting in my joints. I hurried inside the kitchen. Lily and the other girls were already there and they all turned to me with glares. "Come over here and help me," Mirinda said. She was one of Lily's sidekicks. "Don't stand ove

Chapter Twenty-Three. Taste of deathIvanna's POV"I'll make you the skank of all skanks. The bitches of all bitches. And the whore of all whores. You'll love that, won't you?" Anna laughed like she was having the time of her life. She was serious. And it made my heart bleed. To think we used to be best friends."What did I do to you, Anna? What went wrong between us? Didn't we used to be friends?""Friends? You were never my friend. I only hung out with you because of your rank in the pack," she said with a terrifying resentment. "You had it all, Ivanna. The good stuff, they were all yours while I had nothing. No one loved me. I was the Delta's daughter, but that didn't count. Everyone treated me like trash because of my mother’s lowly background. But you had so much love. Everyone wanted to be your friend. Do you know how sick that made me feel?""But I loved you, Anna. I shared everything I had with you. And I was always by your side when you felt sad. I made sure no one dared to

 Chapter Twenty-Five. The KingIvanna's POVThe guards put the chain around my neck and dragged me like a dog to where the celebration was being held. With the tag that labeled me as a ‘whore and killer' dangling around my neck, I was a good target for ridicule. People we met on our way to the party mocked and stoned me as if I had committed some sort of treason. We got to the double door of the party hall and the guards halted. "One more thing. Miss Anna asked us to tell you that your performance determines how quickly you’d be released. You should also think about your little, crazy-ass friend. If you want her to live, and if you wanna get out of here quickly, you must put on a good performance." That heartless slut! How dare she involve Jenny in this? She sure was the meanest. But if she did say this, then that meant she did have plans of hurting Jenny. I shouldn't give her the chance to

Chapter Twenty–Seven. Why did you kill your Luna? Ivanna's POV "Back to you, Alpha Dean. Did she really steal that jewelry?" The King asked, going closer to him with his claws dripping blood. Anna's blood. "No. She wasn’t the one. Her jewelry was never missing from the start," Alpha confessed, as his shoulders sagged in defeat. I watched him in horror. Was this really our leader? Was he really an Alpha by blood? Why didn't he have the instinct to protect his people? Why was he hell-bent on making us miserable instead? Me, especially. "Oh! Care to tell me why you lied against her and made her wear that tag." "I’m sorry. I should have been a better leader," Master said. "Shut up. I asked you why you lied and framed her. Why did you make her wear that fucking tag when you knew she wasn’t wrong?!" Everyone was still bowing their heads. I could hear Anna’s parents crying, but they didn't dare to approach her corpse. They were scared to die. Cowards. "It was her fault," Mas

Chapter Twenty – Nine. Rot in hell.Ivanna's POVHe wasn’t the real Alpha? This was the most shocking of all the confessions I've heard today. My parents never mentioned it either. How did all these happen, and no one knew about them?"You killed him?" the king asked, appalled by his confession. "A mere secret guard killed an Alpha? What a joke!""I was his most trusted person and his only daughter's mate. He was blinded by the trust he had in me, so it made it possible for me to do anything to him, including poisoning him. Just the same thing I did to his daughter." Alpha Dean announced, with no hint of remorse.I watched him speechlessly. How could someone be so blatantly vile? And to think I ever referred to him as 'Master'.An evil man like him could never be my Master."And why did you kill your Luna? You were already the Alpha. I don't see why you had to do it." The king quizzed further, more out of curiosity than just mere interrogations. "That bitch threatened to expose me w
