~Helen~After Rick was declared wanted, he was nowhere to be seen in the pack talk more about the city. The warriors searched everywhere, but Rick was nowhere to be found. The Alpha waited and waited patiently for Rick's arrival, but no positive result came. He decided to make his name known at the broadcasting station and include him as part of the criminal acts her parents committed."My Alpha, let's forget about Rick for now and concentrate on his parents first, maybe after you are done with them, you will have a full chance to dive into Rick," I suggested."How could you say something like this? Don't you know that with Rick, the issue could be settled without procrastination? His running out of this pack shows that he knows about his parents' acts and was among the plan," he uttered."You're saying his parents, have you forgotten Drake is denying he was not among them and claiming innocence?" I explained.He smirked and gazed up at the roof, thinking about what to do. Since Dra
~Marshall~"You'll go first, Drake, for you are the head of the family, so let's start with you.""Sebastian?" "Yes, my lord," he answered and rushed in my direction."Take Selena out of this scene; take her far–far enough that you both will not be able to hear any noise in this square, talk more about the interrogation," I commanded."Consider it done, my Alpha," Sebastian replied, and he immediately led Selena out of the audience as I instructed.I cleared my throat, preparing for questions. I'll ask Drake questions that are beyond his expectations."So Drake, you said you were being accused of a crime you didn't commit?"He nodded in affirmation, which provoked me to move in his direction and give him a befitting slap. I slapped him so hard that my hand left a scar on his cheeks."Are you insane? You're too big to reply to my question, or what? I opened my mouth and asked you a question, but you answered me with your head."I'm sorry, my Alpha," he whimpered and answered, "Ye–yes,
~Marshall~"My Alpha, I'm sorry—I'm really sorry for all that happened; I don't know what came over me," she pleads, but I did not reply to her; I turned back to consult the Elders for suggestions.We discussed and concluded that their punishment would be instant killing."Drake could be set free because he wasn't caught in the act, but he lies a lot, and also because the woman said he went on a mission on that same day and that they came together. And Selena, on the other hand, showed an expression of regret, but her crime is beyond unforgivable," one of my elders explained.Other elders agreed with what the first elder said, as if they knew I had no atom of pity for them. I only consulted them so they wouldn't know I neglected them and put justification in my hand. To them, I'm still a child, and I don't blame them for that because I was crowned the Alpha title at the age of nineteen, so they always expect me to consult them before anything can be done in the pack, even now that I'm
~Marshall~I was burning in a serious rage, roaming around in my chamber and clenching my teeth. Beta and Marcus were already trembling, but they didn't show a sign, and I already knew they were trembling because I am a psychological person.My dark curled hair erupted and was erected, and the anger was increasing. I knew something must have leaked somewhere that led to the slaughtering of my objects, and if care was not taken—if I did not take my actions—the world would laugh at us, and the almighty Marshall would be conquered. The tremendous Oden pack would be a subject of mockery by others."Sebastian, how did you say it happened? Did they request you, people, to free Drake and Selena and probably get angry after they realized they had been killed? Tell me if you recognize any voice among them," I inquired.He let out a heavy breath before proceeding with my questions."Father, everything that happened seemed like magic to me—even now at this moment. After we were done with the task
~Helen~I became relieved when I heard Aysel had gone. I was pleased about her death because I had fulfilled my revenge on her for all her deeds.After I was discharged from the hospital, I returned home feeling tremendous.When I arrived at the Alpha Castle, I was moved by what I noticed: none of the Alpha clans had impressive faces.I couldn't proceed to enter because I knew the Alpha might get mad at me upon seeing me for causing Aysel's death.I ran down a lonely path and accidentally encountered Rick. I was amazed to see him because I never knew he still lived in the Oden Pack."Gamma, why are you here?" I asked out of curiosity."I should be the one to ask you such a question because you should not be walking on a lonely path; talk about walking without guards," he replied.His questions moved me. I was distraught because it was evident that everyone that saw me would notice I was in trouble since I was not walking with the pack's guard.What might happen if some rogues catch me?
~Helen~I wanted to lie, but looking at his face, it seemed he already knew some of what transpired recently, but I went on to lie to avoid being ashamed. "I am already tired of being escorted all the time—I mean, I need some freedom so I can enjoy my privacy, just like we had just enjoyed right now." I paused and walked around him, caressing him. "I'm already upset by too much security watching over me, or don't you like what we just did?" I replied, winking at him, but he didn't seem satisfied by my sweet lies; his face remained stern, which scared me more. "Luna Helen, what transpired in the pack after I went missing?" he asked, this time with a mean voice. I started fidgeting, which made me do what I vowed earlier not to do—something that made me submit my body to him. "I'm sorry, Rick, that I lied to you. Honestly, the pack is in a catastrophic state; immediately after your parent's elimination, troubles started coming here and there," I tried to explain. He started smiling
~Helen~I went home feeling depressed; the thought of how to carry out the task Gamma Rick gave me kept running through my mind. I even regretted meeting him today."Just today, I gave my body to Rick just to flee from his wrath but ended up being given a risky task, just because of power," I muttered while heading to my room. I was fortunate enough that the Alpha was not at home when I returned, which made me feel a little at ease, as no one would query me about why I returned late or why I didn't summon the guards to come and escort me home.Inside my room, I was hopping around, thinking of the perfect way to carry out the task."But I so much cherish my mother-in-law to do this sort of thing to her, and also bringing this kind of allegation to the Alpha, what if he caught me while trying to murder his mother? I know he won't take it lightly with me; all the love he has for me will diminish, and he will treat me exactly the way he treated Drake and Selena." I gulped and sighed."Any
~Alpha Marshall~I entered, feeling a danger had occurred as there was no Omega in my sight."Helen!" I yelled, not even calling her by the pet names we do call ourselves since we got married."Yet, there was no sign of her answering; I have called her three times and still she didn't respond; does it mean she wasn't at home? Why then did she call and ask about my whereabouts? She must be at home to know I wasn't around because there is no way to know that if she isn't at home," I wondered while heading inside the castle.However, upon entering the building, I noticed the pack's Luna was inside my private room, and upon seeing me, she fidgeted and greeted me."Why have you been snubbing me, or didn't you hear when I was calling you? What exactly are you doing here?" I reverberated.She didn't utter a word and ran out to her room. I gazed around and scoffed."Now, I believe you can keep your eyes off this room, as you have noticed there is no nasty stuff happening here, I said, smirking
