Chapter 77Alpha Kai's POVI glanced at Alexa, who was staring intently at the pieces of jewelry. I wonder what she wants to say.“Is something wrong? Speak up,” Amelie urges her.“What is your name?” Alexa asks the jewelry seller. “Peter,” he replies. She nods.“Peter, how long have you been selling pieces of jewelry?” she asks again. I frown. Why is she asking these types of questions?“Alexa, what sort of questions is this? Do you think we have all day to sit around and chit-chat,” Amelie said to her, but she ignored her and stared at the jeweler expecting an answer.“I've been buying and selling pieces of jewelry for the past 13 years,” he replies proudly.“Then you should be able to differentiate original from artificial?” she inquires, giving nothing away with her facial expressions. I just can't seem to decipher what she's thinking about.“Absolutely my lady,” he said confidently.“Then Peter, how dare you show us artificial pieces of jewelry?” she asks calmly. I glanced at he
Chapter 78Alexa's POVMy expression changed when I heard his question, but I quickly masked it. What should I say now? I can't possibly tell him the truth.I learned about jewelry from my pack. Growing up, I didn't have a mother, so I was groomed properly to be a good Luna for my pack while my dad was the Alpha. I took care of the pack alongside my father when I came of age. I used to be the one who picked out gifts that include jewelry to be gifted to the Luna of other packs during a special occasion. I can select original from artificial easily. Maybe that was where the problem was.I was groomed more like a Luna than the one who will take over the rule of a pack. I wasn't taught how to fight, and I was not allowed to go to war. “Do you also think a slave doesn't know anything?” I reply calmly.“I never said anything like that. But I am curious, though. How do you know so much about jewelry, even more than the jeweler that has been in business for 13 years?” he asks curiously.“I
Chapter 79Alpha Kai's POVI was fighting with the Greenland pack men, but I was still casting glances at Alexa. I didn't think she would be able to fight so many wolves on her own with just a dagger. But she proved me wrong. Again.Alexa looks like a ferocious warrior right now. Slaying a wolf repeatedly with her dagger. I noticed a wolf slowly going towards her from behind, she didn't notice because she was fighting with another. I growl angrily. That coward, trying to attack a woman from behind. I kill the one in front of me quickly and lounge toward the one behind Alexa.Alexa's eyes widen in surprise. Did she think I was going to kill her? I jumped past her towards the wolf behind her and tore him into pieces with my claws. He deserves it for acting so cowardly. I glance at Alexa, and she looks shocked, but she quickly recovers and starts to fight again. The clearing that uses to be filled with fresh growing green grasses is now flowing with blood and the dead bodies of the enem
Chapter 80Amelie's POVI storm into my room, feeling enraged. The maids cleaning my chambers get startled."M..my lady,” they stutter, bowing their head.“Get lost,” I mutter, and they all scurry away. I pace around the room angrily. I noticed they had put some fresh flowers in a vase. I knock it over angrily, and it shatters on the floor, water spilling over the whole room.I walked towards the neatly made bed and scattered everything. “Ahhhh,” I scream loudly in anger. Rebecca hurriedly rushes in. She looks shocked when she sees the state my chamber is in.“Are you alright, my lady? I heard you scream,” she said nervously.“Do I look sick to you? Did I ask you to check up on me? Get out!” I yell, throwing the dampened flowers from the floor at her. She hurriedly leaves. This pack is filled with a number of nosy people.Alexa, that wench. She managed to escape from my plans again. I had wanted to humiliate her so badly at the jewelry shop in front of everyone present that she hides
Chapter 81Alexa's POVI walked out of Amelie's room angrily. I could deduce from her expression that she really made the Alpha leave the pack house on purpose. I wondered why she would want the Alpha dead. Me, I understand she loathes me but the Alpha, what has he done to her? Amelie isn't going to stop. I will have to take it upon myself to stop her.I sent Kira to send out my invitation for a meeting. When it got to the time for the meeting, I walked outside and took a seat. I had already asked a maid to arrange the chairs in the large living room downstairs.The Alpha and everyone else arrived.“What is this, Alexa? Why have you called a meeting?” the Alpha asks curiously.“You should all have a seat. The main reason for this meeting isn't here yet. When she arrives, you all will know why I have called you here,” I reply. They all glance at each other, looking confused.Amelie finally arrived looking like a mess.“I can see Alexa also called you all. Why have you called us here?”
Chapter 82Alexa's POVHer expression turns really ugly, her face twists in anger. I turn towards the man.“Please continue,” I said, and he nods.“Maya and I got married three years ago, we kept it a secret and didn't tell anyone because our parents were against the marriage. We lived together happily until Maya became pregnant and I lost my job. We had to borrow to be able to feed. We borrowed until we were buried in debt. After she gave birth, she told me she found a job here and she started to work. But after a few days, our little girl got kidnapped by the people we were owing. We tried really hard, but we could not find enough money to pay it off. She cried day and night, but we were unable to do anything. Maya and I continued to work hard in order to pay off our debts and get back our baby,” he pauses. The baby was crying loudly, so he tried to console her. I walk towards him and gently collect the baby. I rock her back and forth until she stops crying.He thanks me and continu
Chapter 83Amelie's POVMy heart is beating widely and my head throbs painfully. The lack of opium not making it any easier for me. How did Alexa find that maid's husband and plan all this without me knowing? I have truly underestimated her. She isn't a gullible, naive little slave I thought I would be able to deal with without stress.The woman I'm currently staring at is cold, smart, and dangerous. I can't afford to make any mistakes. My body is beginning to feel itchy. If I had known this would take so long, I would have taken my opium before coming. I need to end this fast and leave before anyone notices anything.“Embezzlement? Looting? Why would I do anything like that? My father has enough money to last me for a lifetime and, besides, Kai had given me that responsibility. I would never try to loot this pack. It's my home now,” I replied sorrowfully. Anyone who listens to me would believe me no doubt, but Alexa keeps on bringing more evidence. I wonder when she found the time to
Chapter 84Alexa's POVAmelie's face suddenly pales. She thought she could play the sympathy card well, but no one is buying it anymore. She must have realized how dire her situation is right now.I have successfully shut the elders up. Finally.“And now getting to her third crime,” I said and everyone stared at me shocked.“There's a third?” One of the elders said. I glance at him coldly.“Of course,” they don't deserve my respect, not after getting bribed by Amelie not caring about the well-being of their pack.“You all know we were attacked today on our way from the jeweler, right?” I ask, glancing at everyone's facial expression until I stopped at Ace. His countenance changed briefly before he switched back to his nonchalant self. Is he perhaps still angry with me? I shouldn't be pondering about this right now. “Attacked? How? When?” the Chief asks, sounding confused. I glance towards him, pushing my earlier thoughts to the back of my head.“Yes, we were. I'm sure most of you hav
