As Warrior 1 let go of him, blood dripped from his neck, choking him and making him gag. His knees collided beneath him, and his hands flew to his neck, clutching it tightly to stop the bleeding and gagging. He let out a slight yelp as Warrior 1 pressed his leg against the hand on his neck.
“Leave him alone.” One of the intruders that Warrior 1 had pushed to the ground earlier stood up, rage coursing through his veins, and dashed towards them.
Before he approached them, As his knees collapsed to the ground, he let out a blood-curdling scream. He coughed several times and felt a hot liquid run down his throat; with a shaking hand, he touched it and returned it to himself, only to discover it was his blood.
He screamed, but it was too late; Warrior 2 severed his head from his neck.
Warrior 1 smiled as he raised his sword to stab the choking man beneath him in the stomach. His body fell to the floor with a thud.
Warrior 1 looked over to Warrior 3, who had placed his sword on the last intruder and was about to cut off his head.
” Don’t…” Warrior 1 screamed as he lowered his leg from the dead intruder’s neck.
“We need to bring a witness along; the Pack needs to know who sent them,” he said, walking up to them.
“Hmm… I never thought of that,” Warrior 3 replied, nodding in agreement as he pushed the last intruder away.
**********
The atmosphere was filled with an unpleasant, depressing, and oppressive silence.
Luna Lorienta was seen wandering around, her mind racing with confusion.
She took a deep breath and leaned back against the wall, eventually sitting shamelessly on the ground.
“What if he dies?” She bit her fingernails and thought, “I mean, he has been unconscious for three days now.”
“What will happen to me? I do not even have his heir.” She yelled inwardly, and her hands went to her hair, removing the hairpin and letting her hair fall freely over her shoulders.
She arched her neck, pondering what to do. A small crack jolted her out of her thoughts, and her head sprang up, staring at the ceiling with a blank mind.
Her focus shifted as her mind returned to her previous thoughts. Her gaze on the ceiling became intent as if the words and solution she sought were carefully crafted there.
She could hear the pitiful whispers of the maids and anyone who passed by her.
” Pretense.” She heard one of them hiss, and a slight smile formed on her lips, albeit a sad one. She did not take her gaze away from the ceiling; instead, she continued to stare at it intently.
“Stop judging her; she is been through a lot already. Her husband is in a coma, and her substitute mate is also in jail. Some Elders intend to behead him for spreading false information about our Luna, even though I know it is true. Things are already difficult for her.” She heard another say, more of a whisper, and a wide smile appeared on her lips; they assumed she was brooding over Alpha Carlos.
“The elders or her mother? The Elders despise her and even want to take away her Lunaship. If Alpha Carlos dies, her mother will rule the pack,” another said, jolting Luna Lorienta out of her reverie.
Her gaze remained fixed on them as they strode away, still whispering. She looked around before jolting up and racing towards her mother’s room, her mind filled with unsettling thoughts.
She twisted the doorknob and barged in.
“What the Fuck?” She screamed at the irritating sight in front of her; her mother was moaning.
“Gosh!! You should knock before entering someone’s room, a simple etiquette.” Aurora whined, rolling her eyes as she snapped her head backward; waves of pleasure washed over her, and her hands flew to the guy’s head, pressing him tightly under her until her climax passed.
She let go of his head and threw herself back onto the bed, breathing heavily.
“You can leave,” Aurora whispered as she tried to get to her feet while wearing a duvet.
After getting out of bed, the man bowed his neck and walked slowly to the door, glaring at Luna Lorienta before pointing to the bulge in his pants.
“You are the reason he will miss that sweet hole.” Before leaving, he licked his lips and mouthed.
“What brings you here?” When Aurora asked, Luna Lorienta looked back at her and noticed that she was now completely dressed.
“Are you going to ask that? I saw you being eaten out, by some sort of guard.” Luna Lorienta yelled in anger and disgust.
Aurora rolled her eyes and turned to her daughter, who looked disgusted. “What is wrong with that? I had fun. The guy fingered me and hit the G-spot. He ate my entire pussy up. ” She fanned herself with her hands.
“Mom, Could you listen to yourself? Why not get some guys of higher status instead of letting an ordinary guard eat you out, even if you were going to have sex? I do not doubt that he would have been fucking you if I had not arrived.” Luna Lorienta screamed, unsure of the source of the rage that was growing inside of her.
“Keep your filthy mouth shut,” Aurora screamed.
She hissed and glared at Luna Lorienta, who was staring at her mother in shock. “It is my choice to fuck with whomever that I want; you are not any different from me; at least I do not have a husband before fucking someone of the low caliber,” she said.
“Did you just?…” She inhaled deeply before forcing a smile.
“Anyway, Mom, everything is fine. I will just get right to the point: I came to confront you because I heard something,” Luna Lorienta said, squinting her eyes.
“What is that?” Tearing her eyes away from Luna Lorienta, Aurora asked.
“I heard some maids say you locked the gardener up and plan to behead him?”
“Yes, I did; liars are prone to dying prematurely,” Aurora replied, yanking the bedspread and folding it before tossing it into the laundry basket across the room.
“But, why? Everyone will start talking about me and bashing me because I allowed it.”
” Cut the crap, why are you listening to what others have to say? They will keep looking for something to talk about.” Aurora smiled as she walked slowly towards Luna Lorienta, placing her hands on her shoulder with an encouraging smile.
“I overheard another thing… Are you planning on taking over the pack’s leadership? I do not even have an heir who will make me the Acting Alpha until I give birth to a male child,” Luna Lorienta lamented, her sadness palpable.
“And who said you needed an heir to become the Acting Alpha?”
