3rd person’s POV
Who did you think is doing this, Dimitri asked as he paces around his room.
I suspect Anna but I am sure there is someone who is putting her up to this, he added.
Perhaps Sarah, she is Sir Leonard’s nephew and I want to believe they are working together, Louis said.
The way Sir Leonard was bent on banishing Kate, I think Sarah is the one putting them up for this, he added.
Seth’s wife also needs to be investigated, I heard she is the one that assembled the pack members who were chanting earlier, Louis landed.
Seth’s wife? Dimitri asked furrowing her face in confusion.
Yes, she still blames Twilight Fang pack for the death of her husband, Louis explained.
Wh-what, I had thought she made those statement that night because she was mourning, Dimitri said.
I shouldn’t have let it slide, he said.
Where do you suggest we get started.
I can’t allow my Mate be accused wrongly.
As they were discussing, a knock came from the other side of the door.
Then it opened slowly, and Ruby stepped in,
She knelt down immediately,
I’m sorry my Alpha,
I had been careless with the Luna room’s key, she said.
I had lost one of the key 2 days ago and I went ahead to take the extra, if only I had been careful, I am sure no one could have access my room without my knowledge, she said.
Pardon my insolence and negligence, my Alpha.
I can assure you, the Luna doesn’t know anything about this, some people are just trying to frame her in order to get rid of her, she concluded.
I know, Dimitri responded.
Are you sure you didn’t betray the Luna and hand over her keys willingly, Dimitri asked.
I will never do such a thing to the Luna, My Alpha.
Get food and water, Dimitri ordered
Then a mattress and Blanket for the Luna.
Make sure she is comfortable.
You can go, Dimitri said.
He faced Louis back, and they continue their discussion.
Mind-link Melinda, inform her to come my room along with Isolde and Lia, he ordered.
Louis mind-linked Melinda and informed her immediately.
And in few minutes, the three of them strode in,
Good evening, they greeted in chorus and they sit down.
Where were you all, he asked.
Or did you all also believe Kate could do such an act,
Not at all, Alpha Melinda and Lia said.
Are you sure she could be trusted, Isolde said.
Yes, They all answered turning to face her.
Okay then, she replied.
Okay see, let me clear your doubt right now.
The last time I noticed the sword was last night before I went into her room,
And I slept in her room through out the night.
This morning we went to the Training Cabin together and came back to the pack house together,
And I noticed the sword was missing immediately I came out of the shower this morning, Dimitri landed.
So there’s no way she could have been the one to take the sword out of my room.
She doesn’t have the keys to my room, Dimitri added
So that means the person that exhibit such act did it when you both are at the training yard, Lia said.
Exactly, Louis said.
And the person is someone that has access to both rooms, Isolde said.
So we should focus our investigation on that person, she added.
The only servant that has access to my room is Anna, Dimitri said.
I want my Mate out by morning, he added.
Ruby had set up the cell where Kate was kept as instructed.
She had called on Sia to help her in the setting up.
And she gladly agreed.
She provided a big mattress,
Then she provided a small table and chair.
She totally transformed the room from a cold dungeon cell to a nice cozy small room.
This stirs up murmur amongst the pack members, but Ruby and Sia ignored them.
Kate was also surprised as they kept setting the room up even when she told them to stop.
So this will be my room from now on, Kate said as they finished with their arrangement.
Of course not my Luna,
The Alpha is working on the situation,
He just wants to make sure you are okay.
And if it just one night you are spending inside her, you must not spend it sleeping on the floor like a criminal.
Ruby and Sia stayed with Kate to ensure she ate her food,
But she refused.
As they are trying to pacify her,
Dimitri walked in, the two maids left immediately leaving both of them.
How are you doing, he asked.
I’m not fine, Kate replied.
how can I be accused of stealing your sword when all I did was admire it, she lashed out.
And you agreed with them, she added with tears rolling down her face.
I didn’t agree with them, Dimitri responded.
I just don’t want things to go out of hand, there are some people who want you out of the pack, he added.
I need to handle this carefully, to make them feel their plan is working out.
And also to ensure your safety, he concluded.
Really in this cell, Kate interjected.
I’m working on it, just give me sometimes, Dimitri said.
I will get you out of here by tomorrow.
***
He stepped out of cell and went straight to the cell Anna was kept.
Louis and the others are already trying to get Anna to speak the truth.
But she kept pleading to be innocent.
But you know, if we want to get the truth out of you,
All we have to do is have the mind readers read your mind, Louis lashed out.
If you confess to your crime now, we will reduce your punishment, he added.
I’m not the criminal here, Anna said in a shaky voice,
The Luna should be the one being interrogated.
Dimitri lunged at her on hearing this,
He held her up at her throat.
It seems though I have been lenient with my discipline, he snapped.
How dare you accuse my Mate of stealing, he lashed out.
I can have you killed and no one will dare question my action, he lashed out
you are just a mere servant, he added.
Louis moved close to him, immediately he noticed Dimitri’s wolf, Drey is already taking over him.
Relax, he said into his ears.
Dimitri dropped Anna to the floor, left the cell in anger.
As he was going to his room, he mind-linked Sarah to meet him at the fourth floor.
Hope it’s not what I am thinking, Drey snapped.
Stay out of my business, Dimitri snapped back.
Are you so dumb to see this is her doing, Drey growled.
If that b*tch show her face in my presence I will kill her, Drey threatened.
You dare not threaten me, Dimitri snapped.
Okay you wait and see, Drey retorted.
Drey pace around in Dimitri’s head in anger.
While Dimitri wait for Sarah to show up.
In few minutes, Sarah arrived.
It’s obvious she was happy,
Her plan is working, out.
She sees anger and worry written all over Dimitri’s.
Hello my Alpha, she greeted.
Dimitri do he all he could to keep Drey who is panting in anger under.
Sarah moved closer to Dimitri,
I’ve missed you so much my Alpha,
Don’t worry I will make sure you forget all your worries, she said.
Shut up and pull off your clothes, Dimitri ordered.
Which she followed obediently.
Dimitri draw her closer and start to fiddle with her br*ast.
I’ve always known you will come back to me, she said as she moans in pleasure.
With every word comes out of her mouth, Drey growls
I’ve always known that half breed is up to no good, she added.
Dimitri stopped abruptly, you will not refer to my Mate in such manner.
Unable to keep Drey in control again, as he took over him.
Strangling Sarah,
Sarah struggles to get out of his grip but she couldn’t.
Loius couldn’t find Dimitri in his room, as he was going back down the stairs,
He said noises at the fourth floor,
He felt disappoint that, Dimitri is having anything to do with Sarah, and proceed down the stairs.
But at the same time, he could sense Dimitri was in distress, he then decide to check.
On getting to the fourth floor, he sees Dimitri now in his Lycan form strangling Sarah.
He rushed and pushed him,
Causing him to be off balance, then Sarah falls to the ground, and Dimitri’s wolf panting and pacing around.
Louis stood in front him shielding Sarah who is lying lifelessly on the floor.
Louis turned and cover Sarah with the blanket on the bed, then revive her.
Dimitri sprang off as Louis was trying to revive Sarah.
Louis followed suit
and mind-linked Melinda immediately to get Sarah out of the fourth floor silently and take her to her Cabin then make sure she is stable.
Dimitri went to straight to the dungeon,
Loius mind-linked him,
Get yourself in control, he said.
The door to Kate’s cell sprang open, which jolted Kate out of her room.
He moved closer to Kate and wrapped her arms around her.
With that Drey calm down.
He transformed back to his wolf form and mind-linked Louis.
Get me my clothes please.
Still helding on to Kate,
He kissed her passionately,
Kate didn’t stop him as she could use that to get worries out of her mind.
And she doesn’t want to make Lyka who is already jumping around in excitement, sad.
Dimitri pull off her clothes…
And they mated for the first time.
I’m sorry this happened here, he said without facing Kate.
I will make sure I get you out of here tomorrow, he added.
Dimitri then strode off to get his clothes which Loius had dropped for him.
Put it on then left for the pack house.
Kate felt relieved,
She never thought she could feel this way for Dimitri.
I told you, he won’t be able to resist us when the time comes, Lyka said.
She is so excited,
Kate couldn’t hide her excitement as well.
Mating with Dimitri feels so magical, she has never felt like that in her life.
Her exciting thought was cut short by a laughter at the other side of the cell.
She then remember the sly servant is in the other cell.
Don’t be too excited, little Omega, Anna said
You will only end up being his Breeder,
He can never love any other woman apart from his first mate,
You can ask Sarah, who had tried all her best to get him to mark her, she added.
Since you know so much why don’t tell me about it, you silly cunt, Kate replied.
I will slit your throat with my hands tomorrow, she added.
Just wait and see.
She then lie on her bed, ignoring all Anna is saying.
