Chapter 15

That moment, he would realize how terrible it feels; how heartbroken and shattered one can be when someone they care about is taken away.

I can't wait for that day when Alpha Darren would lie under my father's feet, crying and pleading for his life. Very soon, I will have accomplished my mission.

"Sophia!" I heard Torian call, and that made me flinch as I snapped my head to him, fluttering my eyes and trying hard to return to my usual self. I was really drowning in sadness mixed with rage at the thought of the past just now.

"You look disturbed..." Torian added, locking his palm with mine as we stood in the middle of the room, clad only in our towels as we had just finished bathing together. His face was drawn as he scanned my face with his eyes, trying to find out what could be disturbing me. 

All I could see in those hazel eyes was care and love, filled with passion, and shimmering with love. Loving the wrong person can be a huge mistake. He is unlucky to have a wicked father.

"What is troubling you, baby? Please tell me, I promise to do whatever I can, just to make you smile" he purred and cupped my jaw, caressing my cheeks with his other hand.

I chuckled and hugged him tightly.

"I was just lamely scared about that vampire that Lola made a deal with; don't you think he might come back for you? That's my fear. I won't want to lose you" I lied meekly, while sneering behind and rolling my eyes at his body around me.

Recalling the cruelty of his father made me so angry that I was feeling irritated at hugging his son, Torian.

"Are you underestimating the strength of this pack? There is a reason why we are respected. It's because my father is a real beast, one that is so powerful and undefeatable! My mother also has a special ability that made her stand out as a hero. We also have thousands of warriors who were well trained by my father. That vampire can never step foot here. The hunters would capture him instantly..." He assured me and pulled me from the hug to look into my face.

"If that fool called Lola hadn't saved the vampire, he should have been our prisoner now. After escaping slightly, he won't have the balls to return" Torian added with a smug look that showed how proud he was of the prowess of this pack.

"Yes, you are right!" I squeaked and laughed. His face brightened at my happiness and he kissed my lips while I tugged at his brown, messy hair that curled around his head, the fringes over his forehead, giving him a hot and sexy appearance.

It's a shame that such cuteness would fade away so quickly.

"Let's get prepared and get to school fast, I can't wait for everyone to see that I am the new Luna. They might still think you had anything to do with that monster named Lola. Let's go to school so you will announce me to them all!!!" I chirped, with a little leap of excitement.

"I won't hesitate to do that. When I rejected Lola as my mate, I automatically took you as my second mate, My Luna, who would sit beside me on that throne and rule over the Blue Moon Pack!" He grinned, and my cheeks flushed at how enticing those words sounded in my ear, even when it was all trash for me.

That's the best thing that could happen to any lady. Like, that is every lady's dream. To be not just the Luna of the pack, but also the mate to Torian, who could pass as the most handsome and sexy guy ever seen. But I'm not interested in any of that; I just want to get into the Royal Pack House, gain their trust, and then use my demonic powers to find Daren's secrets of his source of powers so I can bring him down.

"Let's go eat, and I hope that bastard, Lola, is ready." Torian snorted, and it came at me like a flash.

I just recalled what happened before we left for the bath. Lola had strangely seen who I was. I felt it, and figured it out from her eyeballs. She had also smelled my scent and found out I was a demon, but I also hoped she had heard my warning. I won't spare her if she does anything to stop me. 

Last night, I noticed she has a special ability, and that really irked me to the core. Seeing her bear all the torture with a groan all of a sudden came like a slap to my face. My instincts made me know she was turning to something powerful, which I can't explain. I awoke this morning as well, and when I saw her come in to sweep the room, my heart became strangely heavy with fear.

The Lola I was seeing looked so different, and radiated an aura of fierceness and strength from within her, even when she looked ugly and malnourished.

I felt the urge to ask her where she got such unique prowess, but I couldn't as that would make her feel high about herself. She might have such a special ability, but the demonic magic and dark powers bestowed on me by the witch are so great that I can kill her easily.

I wanted her to stay alive too, only so she would see how my father and I will destroy everyone from this pack. 

Alpha Darren made my father his Beta to hide that evil act. Little did he know we'd found out everything, and if he thought he would go scot free, then he must be dreaming.

Lola's POV.

The sun had risen brightly, making the earth shine under it while I sniffed back tears and wiped away the endless sweat that had covered my entire face. My heart was so heavy that I thought it would fall off. I was so weak, dizzy, drowsy, and sleepy, as everything would keep spinning around me. I had almost fallen countless times, but would succeed in saving my skull from crashing on the irons and hard woods around the house.

I wasn't used to being a slave and had been kind of lazy from being the only child of my parents. Yes, they took care of everything I wanted in life without letting me do anything. Life had been a bed of roses all along in the past. I now have to wake early to not just cook, but to sweep the entire building, which was too large for three people, not to speak of one. 

All the maids and omegas had been dismissed, and I was to do it all. The worst part was that I would be joining Torian and Sophia to school, which had made them threaten to beat me to pulp if I caused them to go late to school. I wouldn't have been afraid of their hits if the ring was still doing its job of absorbing the pain; I wouldn't have been afraid of the threat if I wasn't still in pain from the glass Sophia had broken on my head earlier this morning.

Although my flesh had closed up and the wound was healing fast, I could still feel the pain accompanied by a sharp headache that seemed like it was pulling my brain out of my skull, causing hot tears to gather in my eyes and also drop continuously on the floor. 

The pain in my heart can't be compared to anything. I felt like I should die as my weak legs shook at each step I took along the hallways with the broom which I used to sleep. Everywhere was littered with dirt, just as if it was kept there intentionally, as I can't see any reason why the royal palace would be filled with such dirt. I was so weak, yet I knew how dangerous it would be if I left without completing the cleaning.

Each time I passed a group of maids and omegas, they would all laugh mockingly at me, causing my muffled cry to burst out as I thought of the past. That sweet past with Torian, which was the life every lady would long to have.

After what seemed like an eternity to me, I was done. Every part of my body was drenched in sweat, which made my gown stick to my body. I was reeking; having the stench of what seemed like that of a dead rat, which made me sob bitterly as I scanned my eyes around for a free room so I could sneak in and bathe quickly before Torian or Sophia came to take me to school, which was all because they wanted me to be scorned, jeered and berated with a lot of insults and hurtful words from the students.

As I tried to wonder why Sophia was doing this to me, I recalled she was a demon and that made me sigh tiredly as my eyes hurt from the hotness of my tears, which seemed like they were searing my eyes out of their sockets.

I finally saw an empty room and dashed in secretly, as everyone was already downstairs eating, including the Alpha and Luna. I padded into the room, finding the en-suit of the room, and took the brush. After cleaning my teeth so well, I pulled down my dirty gown and was about to turn on the shower when the door of the bathroom gave way, immediately causing me to spring to where my clothes were lying so I would cover my nakedness.

"What is this smelly pig doing here?" I heard Torian's seethe, but I ignored him and put on my panties and gown hastily as the tears in my eyes welled up again. Shame flushed my cheeks, causing them to burn, being aware that he was looking straight at me as I put on my clothes.

"Were you trying to bath?" He asked with disgust and hatred filled in his tone, and I looked up at him with my teary eyes, which didn't seem to affect him a bit as the coldness in his hazel eyes was still clear and sharp.

"Why did you hate me this much? Where exactly did I go wrong? You jilted me since you needed just sex from me. I understand, but hating me to this extent doesn't look normal. What did I do?" I cried out as my body shivered in the searing pain of the mate bond I was still carrying in my blood.

My wolf was still deeply attached to him, and my heart still longs for him as my mate, and the fact that I would never have him because he had rejected me made every part of my heart burn like it was placed in a lake of fire.

He stared at me for some seconds without saying anything, I peered into his eyes and noticed it had got a little warmth, which later vanished and was replaced with that hatred again.
