A Craving Interrupted

Lila's POV When I left the garden a few minutes to noon, my stomach rumbled in hunger. I had eaten breakfast at eight I'm the morning in a gluttonous way and barely four hours later, I felt like I was gonna die if I didn't eat right away.I quickened my steps as I made my way back inside the house. I had spent so much time outside and had forgotten how the inside smelt. The sun had been very gentle in the garden since it was still morning and the fresh air calmed my nerves in a way that nothing would. But right now, all I could think of was food and eating something sumptuous.Real food.Hot food.Spicy and hot.My hand moved to my stomach as it growled again, louder this time. I wasn't the type to shiver when hungry but having another life growing inside me made me have a fast metabolism where I easily got hungry and if I didn't eat on time, my body would shiver like I was about to die.“Okay, okay,” I muttered under my breath. “I’m coming. Mommy is going to get her food now and th

A Table Divided

Marcus' POV"Can someone explain what the hell is going on here?" I boomed my gaze dancing from Lila to Elena and vice versaThe room went silent immediately. None of the ladies seemed ready to talk. They had their gaze glued on each other. If looking at someone could kill, both would be dead a long time ago.Lila sat down at the table with a spoon in her hand, breathing a little fast like she had been talking a lot. Obviously she was having lunch and this made wonder why they were having an argument in the first place.Elena, on the other hand, stood a few steps away from her, her arms crossed firmly over her chest, her face tight with anger. I knew she didn't like Lila but picking a fight with her when she was having lunch was absolutely crazy.I frowned.“Have you both suddenly lost y'all's voice? I am waiting for an explanation both of them you.” I added, my voice calmer but firm.Elena spoke first.“She’s in the dining room eating like this place belongs to her. She shouldn't be

Silent Theft, Loud Consequences

Marcus' POV A week laterWhat exactly is going on? Why are we short on $300 thousand from our treasury? What is going on in this pack? Where's the treasurer? Where's Daniel? I bet he hasn't seen this I paced around talking to myself as I read through the monthly net amount the pack had. I had done the math and was pretty convinced that three hundred thousand dollars was missing.There was no way I read wrong. I had read through the monthly records again. I had checked it twice and I wasn't mistaken when I said money was missing.Same result as beforeThree hundred thousand dollars missing. This morning was huge enough to feed our entire pack village for 3 months. This incident has never happened in the history of our pack and that's why I'm surprised to see money missing. My chest tightens, as I continue to pace around.“This doesn’t make any sense,” I muttered, running my hand through my hair. “How exactly did this happen and who took the money? Did the treasurer give me a wrong m

Shadows in the Treasury

Chapter 94Daniel’s POV“Why would that be the first thing that comes to your mind? Why would she even steal from the pack that she is supposed to protect? She is Luna of this pack. If she steals from it, that's the dumbest shit to do.” Marcus uttered, disagreeing with me. “Can't just be throwing our suspicion at just anyone. Right now we need to talk to the treasurer and he has to give an explanation.”I clenched my jaw as Marcus spoke, his words of wisdom stuck with me. If we suspected anyone, we had to prove it. I didn't know why Elena came to my mind at first instinct but I didn't trust her. She was recommended by the elders, men who I didn't trust so much. On top of that, her attitude towards Lila was starting to piss me off. I didn't know what to think but I had to reason out with Marcus. The only way to solve our problems.But Marcus wasn't the type to draw to a quick conclusion so, of course he would defend her. He would always defend until he had evidence. Unlike me. My insti

Judgment in the Grand Hall

Marcus' POV “Order!” My voice thundered, my gaze sweeping across the elders seated in front of me. I had called for an impromptu meeting to discuss the missing funds.Not far from me, knelt the treasurer, his hands bound with a chain, cold beads of sweat streaming down his face.The room was quiet. The room was so quiet that if a needle was dropped, the sound would echo. Since the meeting started, Daniel hadn't uttered a word. He leaned back in his seat, sighing.Everyone was waiting. Waiting for answers. The elders didn't take the news lightly in fact they were livid that such money was missing from the pack’s account.I stepped forward slowly, my hands behind my back.“Three hundred thousand dollars is missing from our treasury,” I said, my voice calm but heavy. “And the man in charge of it claims he knows nothing. Do you think we are dumb? Is it really you who is the chief protector and handler of all the packs? What do you mean you don't know anything about it? Who are we suppo

A Voice Against Judgment

Daniel's POV Just as the guards grabbed the treasurer by his arm, about to whisk him away, the door to the Grand Hall opened and Elena walked in uninvited. The moment she walked in, all eyes turned to her. With head raised high and chest out, she took bold yet calm steps, confident like everyone in the room and had been waiting patiently for her arrival.I frowned immediately, puzzled.“Elena?” Marcus called, clearly not expecting her. “What are you doing here? You were not invited to this meeting. You should leave.”She didn’t answer him at first.Instead, her gaze went straight to the treasurer.“What is the treasurer doing kneeling on the floor? You shouldn't do this to him, Daniel. Stop with all this charade,”she said.“What are you talking about, Elena? You can't just walk in and tell me what to do. You're not supposed to be here. This is a meeting between the Alphas and his council.”“Stop with everything and let me speak please if you stop” she said, her voice was not loud, bu

Framed by Lies

Lila's POV A day later“How is that even possible? She took the money and manipulatednteh receipt??” one of the kitchen maids said while pointing at me.I still couldn't believe my eyes and ears subordinate record receipt like the ones found in the archery field was found in my room.How?How did they get here?Who wants to set me up?How dare you steal from the alphas!?” Elena thundered.Her voice was sharp, filled with anger. She pointed an accusatory finger at me, her eyes fiery.I snapped my head towards her.“What are you even talking about?” I asked, my voice shaking but firm. “I didn’t steal anything. Why would you support them in humiliating me? I don't know how those got in my room. Someone must have planted them in there. This is a set-up.”Elena let out a dry laugh. Humorless and evil.“Oh please, Lila. The evidence is in your room. Don't try to defend yourself because we have all the evidence we need right her. ” she said, pointing at the papers on the table. “You know so

No One Is to Be Trusted

Daniel's POV “This shouldn't be true” I muttered pacing around the room.“Exactly what I wish but we can't just turn a blind eye if she is indeed guilty.” “This shouldn’t be true,” I muttered, pacing around the room.“Exactly what I wish too but damn! Why is she getting entangled in this mess.” Marcus replied.I stopped walking and ran my hand through my hair. Confusion etched on my face. This shouldn't be happening. Is Lila really guilty or innocent like she claimed she is?“This doesn’t make sense to me no matter how I think about it. I said. “Lila stealing from us? It doesn’t add up. Why would she? She's the most important person here along side our baby? Why steal and tarnish her image?”Marcus leaned against the wall, watching me.“The evidence was found in her room, Daniel,” he said. “We can’t ignore that. I don't want her in this mess but she already is. The record receipts were found in her room.I shook my head, refusing to accept the mere thought that Lila would steal from

His Doubt, Her Breaking Point

Lila's POV I banged my fist on the door for the upteenth time. Three hours had passed and being under room arrest was making me lose my mind.The sound of my knuckles hitting the wood echoed back at me, but no one answered. I was stuck and confined in the four walls of my room. There were no footsteps, no voices. Nothing. I had lost count of much I had been knocking because I had been repeating the same action for the past hours. The only thing I observed was the silence that mocked me every time I knocked.“This is not fair. I'm not guilty . Someone should let me out of here. I am hungry and tired and I have been screaming at the top of my voice.”I muttered under my breath, pacing around the room, sweating profusely though the AC in the room was functioning at its highest.. “I didn’t do anything. I can't be here. I'm claustrophobic. I can't be in this space, locked up without my consent. Someone help me. I'd faint from dizziness.” I cried at the top of my voice.My chest felt tight

Between Trust and Truth

Daniel's POV “I want to trust you Lila but I also need your honesty. Did you take the money?”“I want to trust you, Lila, but I also need your honesty. Did you take the money?”The moment the words left my mouth, I regretted it immediately. It felt wrong to ask. I didn’t feel right. I maintained a strong eye contact with her, my heart pounding under my clothes. Lila stared at me like I had just broken something inside her. Like I had killed her without realizing it. A look of betrayal etched on her face. I watched her eyes wide slightly, then it was slowly filled with tears that she was trying so hard to hold back. It burned behind her eyes, her chest rising and falling.“No. How many times do I have to answer this question? I did not take the money. I don't even know what or where the treasurer's office is located at.” She said softly, staring blankly at me.Every word she said carried pain and I realized how hard it was for her to have this conversation with me but we needed to
