"What's the secret of Alpha John and his family that the Crystal Blue Pack are exploiting mercilessly?" Kayla thought while she had her ear glued to the door to listen to their conversation going on inside.
Kayla couldn't derive much from whatever she was hearing as she was not acquainted with the topic. The more deeper they ran into the conversation, the more questions would pop in Kayla's head.
She was eager to know what was the secret. She asked in her mind, "What is the secret that our pack has to pay monthly allowance which if not paid could lead to a war.
"Oh my God! What's brewing? Alpha John has a secret, a secret that can put an end to his rule or should I say not only his rule but existence too! I thought the prince is the holy one, but it seems like he is sinful just like the Red Moon Pack!"
RING RING!
Kayla was like a cat on hot bricks when all of a sudden the silence enveloping in the emergency chamber got broken by her ringing phone that alerted the werewolves inside the emergency chamber. Kayla quickly made her fidgety hands turn off the phone.
"Oh no! Run Kayla!" Kayla said to herself.
After putting her phone off, Kayla ran at the top speed. She took a turn and at that time, heard the emergency chamber's door opening. She rushed and hid inside the bathroom. The sound of their hasty footsteps caused her heart to thump.
From behind the slightly ajar bathroom door, Kayla saw the guard and Alpha John!
Alpha John shouted, "How did someone enter the emergency passage?!" The guard trembled and had his head low. John blasted out, "What are you waiting for? Go and check out who sneaked inside the bathroom. We would be in big trouble if that person heard our conversation.
With that the two of them left. Alpha departed back to the emergency chamber and the guard on the path outside the emergency passage. Kayla heaved.
Her ears rang the last set of John’s words. A cunning smile formed on her lips and she mumbled, "Seems like something very precious is being hidden at the cost of my so-called dear Alpha's life and rule and it is connected with the Crystal Blue Pack."
She nodded, "Interesting! I will keep this point in my mind. One never knows what might turn out to be his ace card!"
Her eyes collapsed to her vibrating phone. She was stunned to see the she-wolf who ignored her a few moments back was now calling her. She picked up the call and said in her sweetest tone, "Hey Alice!"
There came a brutal tone of Alice from the other end.
"What took you so long to pick up my call? Do you think of yourself as the future Luna who is so busy that she can't pick up my call?"
Kayla was pissed off by her tone but managed to be sweet while pouring out her words of defense "No, actually…"
Alice cut in, "Whatever! Have your ears open! Future Luna Whitney wants to have a word with you!"
Kayla was happy and scared at the same time. Happy because it was a chance to perfect her image and join the bully gang. Scared because of the way she was treated while serving supper.
She said, "Yeah sure! I will come to Miss Whitney's chamber!"
Kayla could hear a faint voice behind Alice. She recognized Whitney's voice that said to Alice, "Not my chamber. Hers!"
Alice reiterated the same and Kayla said, "Yeah, s…"
Kayla stopped speaking and closed her eyes out of frustration when the call was disconnected midway. She heaved, "No worries, let's keep this Crystal Blue Pack thing on hold and focus on rebuilding a good impression in front of Whitney!"
—-------
Skyla's happiness was short-lived. There came a fierce knock at the door. Skyla said, sounding worried, "Oh no! How did I forget it's my punishment time?" Her eyes searched for water as she mumbled, "I got to put off this fire, or else they will kill me!" She saw the jug by the nightstand.
Pulling up her weak body, Skyla limped and reached for the jug, but before she could reach for the jug, she collapsed on the bed owing to a noise.
It was the noise of breaking the door. Max had just broken the door. He glared at Skyla and snarled, "Are you deaf? Why didn't you open the door?"
He took a step inside and his gaze shifted from Skyla on the bed to the crackling sound. He became red with anger when he saw the fire in the furnace.
"You!" Snarling at Skyla, he rushed towards her and slapped her tightly, igniting the pain in Skyla that was gone some time back.
Grabbing the collar of her brown-colored sweater, he made her sit and growled, "How the heck did you break the rule? You can't use a furnace! You can't keep yourself warm!"
Skyla cried out, "So… sorry!" Max released her furiously and grabbed the jug to put off the fire. However, the jug was empty. He stormed inside the bathroom and came out with a wooden bucket filled with cold water.
He splashed half of the water inside the furnace and the fire was extinguished. Fiercely keeping the bucket on the floor, he growled, "You just broke the rule! Do you want a weeklong punishment to be extended by two weeks?!"
Skyla shook her head, "No… no!"
Max's jaw tightened and he kicked the dressing table hard and said sternly, "When your future Alpha is standing, are you supposed to sit your ass on the bed?"
"No! I… I am standing up!" She said, her voice trembling.
Skyla pressed her lips together owing to the strain as she tried to rise from the bed. Luckily, she rose from the bed in a go due to the ointment that was healing her leg wounds.
Max rubbed his nose as if he had just consumed some drugs and said curtly, "Take off your sweater!" A shiver ran down Skyla's spine.
Skyla's breath intensified as she was breathing through her mouth hung open. She was scared that Max was here for having his hands over her body, just like Matt did that morning. A seamless stream of tears emerged from her eyes. She tried to move back, but stopped when Max shouted, "Take it off, or I will rip it off!"In just one giant step, Max got close to Skyla, his body towering over her. Skyla got scared by that sudden move and she crossed her arms protecting herself. Max was perplexed seeing that. He threw his head back and laughed out loud before speaking, "What?! Haha! Do you really think so I am here to f*ck you?" He snapped his fingers and said, "In just one wink, I can have any she-wolf in my bed! I don't chase them, I just bait them! Following me like a puppy is their job!"He grabbed her chin and pinched it as he laughed off, "Don't think so highly of yourself that you will be screwed by the great Alpha Max!" Pushing her away, he dusted his hands and said, "You have go
The dining chamber was no longer filled with the werewolves chatting. The only sounds that echoed in the dining chamber were that of the werewolf servants' clicking shoes that were moving to and fro cleaning the dining tables and the sound of dishes and bowls gathered together by them in a pile and taken to the kitchen for a wash. Everyone had departed to their chambers. Kayla walked up the staircase and turned to the left wing. Her steps were slow as her mind was rushing with one thought, "What is Whitney's mind up to? Why is she coming to my chamber?"Whitney had surely visited the left wing, but had entered in only one chamber and that was Skyla's to assault and abuse her. Kayla prayed, "I hope that's not the purpose for Whitney to show up in my chamber!"Her mind stopped and so did her steps. Her eyes got wide on seeing her sister drenched in water standing on the balcony with a trembling body and chattering teeth. Whitney's heart wrenched on seeing her like that and she mumbled,
Kayla walked outside her chamber. Her eyes glanced at Skyla and she said to herself worried, "I am scared that they have started to turn my life into a hell like Skyla's. Never did anyone ask me to serve in the dining chamber or go and make some hot chocolate in the kitchen! I hope nothing goes beyond this!" She reached the kitchen and her eyes caught her swelling foot. She cursed, "Damn! Thinking about Skyla, I just forgot that I need to apply some ointment on this swelling!" Her face grew small and she said in a cranky tone, "Uh, my beautiful foot!"After making a delicious hot chocolate drink, Kayla placed the glass and spoon on the tray and walked back to her chamber. She forwarded the tray to Whitney who was sitting with crossed legs and said politely, "Here's your hot chocolate, Miss Whitney!"Alice butt in. Grabbing the hot chocolate and dipping the spoon in the glass, she said, "Miss Whitney is very particular about what she drinks and eats!" Turning to Whitney, she said, "L
Kayla looked out of the window where she saw her trembling sister. She said, frustrated, "I wasn't able to hit you and this is all that I have to face!" Tears of bitterness were not ready to stop flowing from her eyes. She shifted her gaze from the window to the floor with splintered glass pieces. She grabbed a small bucket and started collecting the glass pieces. In her rage, one glass piece slit her finger and she oozed in pain, "Ouch!" Blood started pouring out and she kept the bucket on the floor and stood up. She closed her eyes and supplied herself with some calming words, "Anger won't help you get out of this situation, Kayla! Calm down!" She took slow steps towards the mirror and said, "I won't give up that easily! I will make my space, build an elite image again! Getting into Whitney's gang is of utmost importance to get respect and a luxurious lifestyle!" Her gaze shifted to the pack of cards on the dressing table. She recollected Lucy and Whitney's conversation. She mum
"What the heck is she doing here?!" Whitney hissed. She went ahead to throw her out of the chamber, but Max held her arm and pulled her. He said, "She says she has a solution to this issue!" Prince Harrington said, "So, what's the solution?" Kayla turned her head from the brother-sister duo to the mighty prince. Her eyes went wide and her lips fell apart on seeing his brawny, tall body. She was smitten by his burly figure and handsome face. It was her very first time seeing the prince. She had never seen the prince in real life. All the while she had heard from the right wing werewolves who had the opportunity to visit on various occasions outside the pack that the prince was a handsome werewolf. Some of the she-wolves would not get tired of showering accolades on him. Kayla could feel her cheeks burning red. She tried to suppress her blushing and said, "Skyla!" Luna was shocked. She said, enraged, "Skyla, who is the problem herself is the solution? Are you in your senses, omega
As everyone was smiling at each other as they finally arrived at the solution, Alpha John intervened, "A… actually!!" Hardly had he begun that all of them toppled their heads toward Alpha John, their eyes glued to him. He cleared his throat before speaking. "Actually, I was telling that we do have other she-wolves to carry this job! I am sure we have other weak she-wolves to fulfil this mission!" Kayla and Max frowned on seeing Alpha John against their decision. Kayla badly wanted to intervene but she knew she couldn't, so she cursed in her mind, "Why the heck is he so fussy about my solution? It's just Skyla not his daughter Whitney who would be bedding the Alpha of the Crystal Blue Pack."Max shook his head in protest and said in his throaty voice with a hint of scowl in it, "Dad, why are we being so concerned about Skyla? What's so special about her?"Inhaling deeply, he continued, "She is just a filthy omega! You are the one who told me her parents were traitors. She is their pu
After half an hour, the bathroom door opened and Skyla stepped out. Her body draped in a white bathrobe and a white towel bundling her washed hair together. Kayla rose from the bed and quickly grabbed Skyla's hands and made her sit in front of the dressing table. Skyla said, "Sister! Can you get my clothes from my chamber?" Kayla took off the towel wrapping her hair and said, "Skyla! You won't be wearing those used, old clothes! But my brand new dress!" Skyla smiled and asked the same question she asked before departing to the bathroom. Kayla said, "I will tell everything! First you need to get ready!" Blow drying her hair, Kayla's eyes fell on the wall clock and she increased her hands' speed that were busy drying Skyla's hair. Skyla said, "Okay, now I need to change!" She rose from the dressing chair halfway, but Kayla pushed her on it again and said, vexed a bit, "Skyla, not yet! Let me put on some makeup and hide these bruises and bumps!" Skyla's mind was simmering with vari
Skyla's eyes went wide, her eyeballs sprawled on the floor on hearing her sister talking about sleeping with some unknown man happily. Kayla said excitingly, gesturing with her index finger, "Just one night, Skyla and…" The remaining words couldn't roll out of Kayla's tongue as her sister gave her a tight slap!Kayla was stunned and angry at the same time. Her palm rested over her left cheek that was all red. She pulled her head and gazed at Skyla. Skyla was enraged, "Did your Whitney or her gang members get your drunk? What are you speaking? You think it's a good deal to sleep around with some man? And what did you say, it's not painful?! Of course it is! The pain of being beaten up by the pack members or being sexually abused by the Crystal Blue Pack is equal!" Tears started spilling out of Skyla's eyes and her angry tone started breaking. "You are calling this a deal! Does that mean you are selling my body to some man?" Pushing the dress off her lap, Skyla retorted, "How can
