Checkmate
Cleopatra's POV
Soon-to-be Luna?
The silence hung heavier than ever as I tried to soak in the situation. What then happens to my mission? What will happen to the fate of other packs who are depending on me? I froze.
It felt like someone splashed cold water all over me. How do I get back on track?
His Luna looked at me like she had just won a prize and I lost.
The mission must continue, I thought. With a determined look and graceful strides, I walked up to them.
“I'm short of words… But, I'm happy for you guys, congratulations,” I said through clenched teeth, my eyes fixed on Alpha Williams. “Let's go Theo, you have guests to entertain,” I said walking out, making sure my hips swing in the right manner.
The look in Alpha Williams' eyes told me another story. I'm certain the mission is not yet over, not when I still have him right where I needed him to be.
I walked back into the crowded hall, hands linked with Theo’s once more and a smile plastered on my face.
The rest of the night was uneventful… At least to me. I stood at a corner alone, watching Theo quietly. There is something off about him but I can't place my hand on it and I don't want to. He saved my life, and I repay all my debts.
A stranger walked up to me and picked up a little conversation. I rolled my eyes. The same old lines every single time. I looked across the room and noticed that Alpha Williams had his eyes on me. A mischievous smile crossed my lips.
Placing my hand on the strangers shoulders, I laughed flirtatiously when he said something that he thought was funny. I caught a glint of jealousy on Alpha Williams' face and smiled.
It's working.
I leaned in close to the stranger, my breast pushed up against his chest as I whispered something into his ears. I could literally hear Williams growl from across the room.
I gently pulled away, grabbing the stranger's hand and walking away with him. I threw back my head in a hearty laughter when I saw the look on Williams face but pretended it was due to what the stranger I'm pulling to another quiet place said.
This is fun. The stranger was excited, thinking it was an invitation for him. I slapped his hands away when we were out of sight. I could already see his erection bulging in his pants. “You poor little thing,” I cooed at him.
I left him there, standing and looking broken. Something about sights like that fuel my ego. I walked away from him and towards a corridor.
I need to get back to my pack. The earlier I sort out this mess with the Night Wolves, the better. I have to get my own pound of flesh. They have to pay for the torture and I can't wait to execute my plans. This whole situation with Alpha Williams will have to hold off for now, because I won't rest until I get back at the Night Wolves Pack.
I needed to rest my head for a while, my body throbbed like I got hit by a big truck. I quietly slipped into an empty room that looked like a small conference room. There was a long table, stretched out in the middle. I lay down and as soon as my head hit the table, I fell asleep.
I jolted up a few minutes after drifting asleep, unable to ignore the tugging feeling that it's not safe. The last thing I want is to wake up in another warehouse.
Getting up, I adjusted my dress and left the room. I met the man from earlier and tried to win me over again. When will they ever learn? I brushed him aside and proceeded towards the opposite direction from him.
I heard voices, hushed and muffled voices. It's none of my business I thought and started walking away from the door when I heard something that stopped me dead in my tracks.
“I'm about to be married to him, do you think I love him? This marriage doesn't change anything between us.” That voice sounded so familiar, I could swear I've heard it before.
Well, unluckily for them, snooping around for answers is one of my areas of expertise. The door was slightly open, so I tried moving it a little wider so I could take a good look at the woman that said that.
A big smile took over my lips like that of a cheshire cat as I saw the woman. It was our lovely little Miss soon-to-be Luna.
Perfect.
Wait, is she really kissing that man? How would someone want to cheat on Alpha Williams? And with a scrawny looking man like this one?
I don't care, as long as the turn of events will serve me well. I searched my purse, but there was no phone to capture the moment.
Fuck!
I turned hurriedly to see if I could get one from anybody but my head collided with a hard figure.
It was Alpha Williams and his eyes were hardened with fury.
