At the end of the day, Laura was tired as usual after going through a lot of paperwork's and revising them also, she didn't have time to have lunch except for coffee that was brought in by her maids. She decided to retire to bed but she still left her door opened just in case Axel finally showed up, no matter how tired she might be, she still provide some time for him and she has decided to choose him as her mate after everything calms down.
She removed her clothes, went into the bathtub and relax her body into the warm water, just what she needed to stretch her bones out, her wolf have been begging her to let her out because she wants to go on a run but she just didn't have the time and she is trying to prove to some people she can do it. She came out of the bathroom and enter her close to put on one of her nightwear just in time for Axel to enter "baby, how was your day" he pulled her into an embrace before kissing her forehead "Hectic as usual but at least I survive another day" she tied her hair in bun "That is the spirit" he encouraged "Tell me how was your day too" she asked him "Just the usual inspection and training" he answered with a yawn "You seems stress out, should I give you some massage" Axel chuckled "I should be the one asking you that too because I know you are tired" "Fine, no one is giving anyone massage" she declared "Yes alpha" he teased making her hit him playfully on his back "Do you want to shower here or you want to go to your room" "Let me just stay here for a while and I will be going my room after, I don't want people seeing me sleeping in the alpha room" "I don't care about all that and you know" she answered "I won't pit your reputation on the line Laura" he held her hands "I am lucky to have you fall in love with me" "You won't be saying that when you find your mate" she wasn't ready for the heart break of him leaving her but she needs to be prepared "I don't think I will ever find my mate and I know for sure that you own my heart" "Thank you" She was touched by his words "Now, let's get you to bed so I can cuddle you to sleep" he said removing his boots and leading her to her queen sized bed "I really need some cuddling" she giggled as she lay on the bed with Axel beside her. Unknown to them, Cora was outside her door listening to their conversations, her knuckles white from squeezing her hands so much, she doesn't understand what Axel saw in her that she doesn't have, she has even confessed her feelings for him today on their training ground but he turned her down telling her how much he is in love with Laura, he has even promised not to tell Laura if she won't do it again liked she cares. She knew her father and some members want to remove her from been the alpha and she can't wait to see the look in her face when she turn a regular person, maybe Axel will come to her begging since she will still be the beta daughter. Enjoy it while it like Laura, she murmured before walking away to her room. The following morning, Laura woke up to an empty side of the bed which means Axel must have left when she fell asleep "good morning Alpha, beta Lorenzo is here to see you" She grunted, why must he be his face she must see first every morning, he is full of bad news "okay, tell him I will be out soon" she told the maid who nodded and left. She quickly wear a dress so she won't delay the impatient beta that awaits her "good morning Lorenzo" "The morning will only be good if you have thought about what we said yesterday" "Thought I gave my reply yesterday" she stood her ground "Your title is at stake if you don't agree to what the members wants" Laura knew something was up with the way they are all acting suspicious "this is my birthright Lorenzo and no one can threatened me with it" "You are a female and a female don't deserve to be an alpha" Lorenzo said in disgust "Are you saying I don't deserve to be the alpha" she challenged looking him straight in the eyes "Have tried my best and since you refused, another alpha will be introduced soon" "Hell if I let another person seat on my father throne" he said Lorenzo shook is end and walked out of her, he doesn't understand why she is proving stubborn just like her father "so father, when are you removing her from been the alpha" his daughter Cora asked him as he entered into his chamber "Soon dear" he knew of his daughter hatred for her "She is too proud just because she is the alpha, I can't wait for her to be ripped off her titled" she laughed wickedly "We will be making the former alpha of black moon pack our new Alpha" he announced "Hope he will do according to our bidding" she questioned her father "He doesn't have a choice, we are the one making him an alpha" "Let me go and be sympathizing with Laura" she laughed "I don't want to be on your bad side" her father joked "Common father, I only takes after you" she replied leaving the room. Laura decided to go for a run today since her wolf wasn't having it with her again, she walked into the forest with some spare clothes, she secure them at the back of a tree and then shift, finally she could feel her paws on the floor and smell the fresh air "thank you" her wolf Claudia said "No problem, we both need it" she replied as she sprinted into the forest Her wolf was howling happily in her head until they caught scent of something "Someone is coming" her wolf warned her She sniffed the air and knew instantly the person is not a member of her pack, she became alerted, she is an alpha and won't back down now, she knew it was something stupid to do, she should mind-link some of her warriors to come help her. The person came out to where she was making her growl at him, the person wasn't listening to her but rather staring at her amused with a smirk on his face. She ran to where she kept her clothes before she shift back, hurriedly throw her clothes in and went back to where she left him "why are you here in my territory" she growled angrily, she doesn't like the way he was staring at her "You must be Alpha Laura" he said like they have met before "What's is your business here" "I am Jacob and I am going to be the new alpha of this pack" Laura was stunned "what do you mean by the new alpha of this pack" "My bad, I thought you knew already, Lorenzo must have forgotten to inform you" "Jacob or whatever you called your name, I am the alpha of this pack and I won't have someone like you take it away from me" she snarled Jacob admire the lady before him, she is beautiful and obviously intelligent, he wonder why they want to remove her and put him but he knew he have to play along with what the members want "you can take that up with Lorenzo after I finished talking to him" he answered and walked away Laura stood still at one spot shocked, they have everything planned out, they were going to take her title from her and she doesn't know what she is going to do, she fell on her knees as water begins to drop from her eyes "father, why do you have to die, why is this happening to me" she cried Her wolf was quiet and she knew she must be sad too because they are going to make her a figurehead in the pack. After some hours alone in the forest, she wiped her eyes, dusted her clothes and decided to go back to the pack house, people were looking at her with pity as she passed by which means they must have heard the news but she doesn't let it affect her as she doesn't want to look weak before them. She open the door to the ack office and met Lorenzo and Jacob in a conversation "there you are Laura" Lorenzo acknowledge her She noticed how he has remove the alpha title from her name but kept quiet and took a seat nodding her head "this is alpha Jacob" Lorenzo continues "No need for introduction, we already met before" "I see, he will be the new alpha of this pack" he declaredLaura was thinking it must be some kind of a joke "how will a stranger take over my father land" she questioned "Your father doesn't have a male child and the elders think you aren't capable of making the right decisions, so they suggested that Jacob take over" Lorenzo answered even though he doesn't care. "You can be my Luna, I won't mind" Jacob said relaxing his back on the chair as he turned to face her. "You all can take my birthright away from me but I won't stooped so low and become your Luna" she answered in disgust, got up from her seat and walked out of the room She met Cora in her room when she got there, she must have heard the news, she went to her and hugged her "they are giving my title to some stranger" she cried unto her shoulder. Cora started shedding crocodile tears with her, "I heard and have been fighting my father over it, you don't need to cry Laura" she lied "The audacity of him to tell me to become his Luna" Cora was stunned and angry, even
The following day, Laura was forced to wake up early by Lorenzo, he has told her she needs to be there to announce the new alpha, Laura knew it was a lie, he just want her to feel shame in front of her people. She haven't seen Cora since yesterday and she was certain she must have felt bad for what her father was doing to her , she couldn't blame her though, she quickly dress up . The whole ceremony, Laura tries to put a smile on her face, she hid her sadness inside of her even when she announced Jacob to be their new alpha. Some people cheered happy they got rid of her while some genuinely felt bad for her. She ran to her room before she breaks down in front of them and Axel who has been watching her the whole time followed her. "Laura" he calls after her running She didn't stopped until she barged her door open, she let the tears roll down her cheeks "I want to be alone" she told him "I am not leaving you alone, why do you want to hurt yourself
Blood pack Vincent just finished having his breakfast when his best friend and beta entered "I can't believe those people can be so cruel" he took a chair for himself "Adam, what is it again""They remove their alpha and appoint someone else""I heard she is a female, she deserved it" Vincent replied unmoved"You don't need to be heartless just because of what your ex wife did to you""You don't know, she might be removed because she is sleeping around" he insisted "I heard it's because she refused to come and sign treaty with you" he said"I won't have signed that shit, that pack is filled with selfish and greedy people""I couldn't agree more but that doesn't mean they should remove their Alpha""That is their problem, I want to go for a run today, do you want to join me""You know I will never miss running with you""And you know I will always beat you" Vincent replied laughing hard "and before I forget, get a leash on that sister of yours"Adam knew of his sister obsessio
Laura still hasn't gotten over what Tracy told her, she trying to connect the dots and they all seem to end the same way, if they have removed her from her position because of this blood pack, it's possible was killed for the same reason but what exactly is the reason. She wondered. She needed some one to talk to because she couldn't sleep that night but she doesn't want to go to Cora because she will be in her father chamber and wasn't ready to face Lorenzo yet , she decided to go visit Axel in his chamber instead."Hello, are you sleeping already" she peeped in into his room"No, what happened, what are you doing here" he asked waking up hearing her voice "You seems surprised to see me" she doesn't want to make him uncomfortable "Yes, I thought you were sleeping already" he answered truthfully "I couldn't sleep, I have a lot on my mind" she murmured as she was still standing by the door"Come here then" he patted to his side on the beShe closed his door door back and walked t
"No, I can't trust you, nor your selfish dad, I knew you are doing all this for me to leave Laura, and that's never gonna happen." Axel spat."Will you stop this already? Stop acting like she is somehow better than me, look at my face, I'm prettier and I got the nicest curves in this whole pack, she is no one, no one but a low life, while I'm the beta's daughter." Cora half yelled."I don't care about her position, I loved her for who she is and not for what she has, you may think your father snatched everything from her, but in my eyes, and in my heart, she will forever remain an Alpha, the greatest Alpha I ever know." Axel said."Well then, keep on watching, I can't wait for the day, your precious Laura will marry the new Alpha in front of your eyes and there is nothing you can do, do you even think Laura will ever settle for a warrior like you when she has an Alpha who is willing to give her respect back to her, in the face of the society, while all you can do is to look at her eye
Laura disengaged from the hug."I will go to my room now." Laura announced."I'm scared Laura, he is a beast, a demon, what if he comes back again?" Cora asked pretending to be scared."You don't need to be scared, he is so ashamed that he won't dare show his face to us, and if he does, I will make him regret." Laura replied.She bade her bye and Cora laughed evilly."It's time for me to get my Axel poor Laura; I can't believe you are foolish to this extent." Cora soliloquies.*Laura walked to her room with a heavy heart, even Claudia was silent, she was happy they enjoyed pleasure just yesterday and now, her girl is in so much pains.She walked with tears falling from her eyes, and when she arrived at her chamber.She fall on the floor, crying really loud, loud enough for everyone to hear her pains, she destroyed everything her hands could touch."Why is my life so cruel to me? Why!" She yelled and slammed the flower vase on the ground."Why Axel, I had love you so much!" She added
"What! Why will Cora do that?" Tracy asked."I don't want to say this, but I will, since I'm going far away from this place, you just have to trust me, I didn't intend to rape Cora, she kissed me and blamed it on me, she was crying and Laura believe it, believing that she has been her best friend for ages and she will never lie to her." Axel said."Cora told me that, Laura has agreed to be Jacob Luna, since he promised to bring her respect back to her, the respect of the people and the beta." He added."What! That didn't Happened, I heard when Laura was yelling at that Jacob that she will rather remain no one than to be his Luna, that Cora most be a witch, oh my God, we need to tell Laura everything, you can't just leave." Tracy exclaimed."I will give this letter to you, please give it to her tomorrow, let her rest for how, also let her know that Cora made her to dethroned her because I refused to love her, she has been in love with me since before I asked Laura to be my girlfriend,
Axel ignored her and left, he even kicked her hand when she held his legs.She runs to her room angrily, crying and breaking things."I hate her, I hate her!" She screamed.Her dad, the beta heard her and he rushed to her."What is wrong with you baby, who dare made you cry like this? I'm not gonna spare him or her." He asked."I hate her father, I want her to suffer, I want her to feel ashamed, I want everyone to hate her turn against her, I want her thrown out of this pack with the citizens throwing stones on her, she ruined my happiness, she ruined my life, she took Axel from me, she took my happiness from me father." Cora sobbed."Even after creating a huge fight between them, he still doesn't want me father, what should I do?" Cora added."Indeed, anyone that makes my daughter sad will taste it too, I know of a way that all you wished upon that girl will happen, but it will make you sad." The beta said.She paused."What is it father, I will do anything to see her suffer, to stop
