Contracted to the wrong Alpha
Chapter 57
Lilia’s Pov
I woke up this morning very early, I couldn’t sleep well last night as nightmares of absurd things happening to me were messing with my brain. I needed to take a shower, a little breakfast and train in the fields alone till I faced whatever it is that was about to befall me. But the moment I got up from my bed to go the restroom, the door barged open and my worst nightmare came Inside.
Lee growled, my fingers balled Into a gust of fist and my eyes burned intact for spoiling it’s sight with seeing such a person to automatically brand my day as bad luck.
I swallowed and didn’t say a word but stare at her with a glare, not moving till she explains herself and got the hell out.
“Hi rogue Luna.” Her tone was filled with mockery and disgust, she walked to my back but I stilled, darting my eyes to the sides and getting ready for her fanatics and attacks but I didn’t receive any.
“I will be the one taking over from the maids and watching you closely till the end of the stupid pathetic test when they should have just killed you for being a rogue. You know I know you’re cursed right? You’re a damned cursed rogue from White Crisps, trying to so hard to stain this pack with your silly name and wolf.” She growled and I scoffed.
“For a jobless person like you, I’m not surprised you begged your Mama to be in full charge of my downfall Tessy. I could add some bucks to make you do a good job. You know my husband is quite the eye candy, he’ll spare a little cents if I ask.” I replied to her and she suddenly spinned around to stand before me, glaring.
“You fool! You think you’ve gotten Lex? The day you stepped your foot Into this pack is the day you mark your death. For being an able rogue, I will make a toast at your grave and bow to another Luna and not a Loser like you!”
I smirked at her words and chuckled.
“It’s okay to fly in that wish Tessy, I would have done the same if I was in your shoes but unfortunately, I would be too busy running my fashion line and getting awards, I never thought I could have. Just as always, you will always be a pathetic jobless loser!” My tone rang with spite and she raised her hands to slap me but I held her hands and pushed her away from me and glared hard.
“Look Tessy, I’ll send you to the grave faster than you think if you ever lay your hands on me again. If you’re here to carry out some bullshit orders, do that and leave or you head would be smeared with your blood on this wall.” I lashed angrily and I could see a flicker of surprise in her Irises.
She rolled her lips on her tongue and eyed me with so much that contempt before spurting out the first words that threw me off guard.
“Get the fuck outside for your first test, It’s taking place now and further prolongment would lead to double test in one.” She spat out and walked away, swaying her tiny useless hips till she shut the door. I didn’t know what she meant by that but a painful churn in my stomach was a signal that it was going to be bad. I rushed to the shower and freshened up, throwing on my jeans pants, black body hugging sleeveless top and wearing my white canvas. I was wrecking with nervousness so I didn’t bother to arrange my hair or add any makeup to it.
I ran out of the room and asked the maid where this test was supposed to take place and I was left to the arena. This place was wider than the place I fought Grace during the Blue Moon Ritual.
Speak of the devil!
She’s here too, bloodshot eyes, short black bob with a scowl and using a clutch to support her broken legs. She glared at me when I walked into the large podium. I never pictured my test to be a public gathering. A lot were present, seated as if a judgment was about to be laid on me but I fought back the nervousness. I need to try and be bold because one weakness from me would give these people enough reason to exploit me.
.
Alveria was here too, dressed in her glory of wickedness and the moment our eyes clashed. I saw an immense hatred that scared me. It was as if she wasn’t afraid to show and express how much she hated me and I was swallowed, avoiding her gaze till she came closer.
However, what followed was a resounding slap that made my eyes widened Instantly. The crowd became silent and the murmuring stopped instantly as they were eager to hear what Alveria has to say to me
“Never in your pathetic rogue life, will you delay me, the Pack’s Priestess and the people of Midnight Shade for any reason known to you.” She spat out every word with Venom and Lee roared, urging me to fire back at her.
She was too proud and seeing me die or leave just like her daughter was her mission. I was going to put her in her place, tell her right to her face that I wasn’t going to be used in her chess of pawns.
I am Luna, irrespective of how things are and she remains under the authority I wield through the influence of the Alpha.
But looking at everyone here and the eagerness in her eyes to see my failure, I know I couldn’t win this fight by being aggressive. These were her Minions, her followers and her people whom she’s been deceiving for years in disguise as being a Priestess. I can feel it in my bones that Alveria was so off.
“Is that clear to you?” She yelled at me and something caught my attention.
No, someone. Jethro was backing me talking to a random person that the hairs of my neck stood on. That body, that stature and aura.. I could figure it out even in my sleep and when Jethro bowed, I saw him. He saw me too with a known grin and smirk spreading on his face while my throat went dry.
Felix, he’s here and my stay in this pack is about to get worse that I imagined or expected. Turning back to Alveria, I swallowed a lump and fought back the nervousness and scary tears from my eyes before nodding at her words.
“Yes, Priestess.” I whispered.
