Chapter 68
“God, are you for real?” Dave breathed in excitement as he turned to Stan with a huge smile on his face.
“My name is Dave, and your sister is…”
“You both are levers; I can see that already, but it isn’t time for romance now because our lives are all in danger, and if we don’t tread carefully, we will all end up in the grave.”
“Yes, I know, I just wonder what Diana plans to do to us. She really hates the people of this community when she should love and protect us. I am just confused at what we did to her wrongly to deserve this.” Dave sighed, running his fingers through
his hair.
“Diana is not a werewolf like you. She is a demon in disguise, and not any kind of demon; she is the demon queen and has just one priority, which is to take over the wolf world and put it all under her finger. She wants to rule you all.” I spilled, my hands clasped to my back as I walked to and fro, taking a controlled breath.
“What?” Dave looked shocked. It seemed he didn’t know yet. My sister hadn’t told him.
“There is no need to hide it from him. He should know what is about to befall them and get prepared. He should know the danger for real.”
“God, I can’t believe this. How did she succeed in hiding it so well that even the Alpha doesn’t know? We believed, loved, and trusted her like our lives depended on it. She was so good in the beginning that we all thought she was the better replacement for the dead Luna.” He growled, sucking in his teeth.
“So all that was just pretense to get in, and now I am sure it’s too late because the Alpha has lost control of himself. He doesn’t want whatever she wants.”
“And the demons are already in here. They are in the pack; they are also in this pack house, hiding and lurking around while waiting for their tone to take control. You can’t smell their scent because you don’t have sharp senses. We have to act fast for real” I hissed, drifting my eyes to the broken camera.
“I need to go report by myself that the camera was mistakenly broken by you when you were angry at me and flung your shoe to my head, which I dodged.” If I don’t report by myself, she will believe it was all intentional.” I said this to my sister before walking away immediately.
After asking around, I was able to find out where Diana was inside the palace. The guard had to keep me outside the door, then go back in to inform her of my request to meet her. She told them to allow me in before I was given access.
My first step inside the magnificent palace, and I was welcomed by the demon scents again, this time more intense, a hint that even the demon king was around somewhere. This place is no longer a pack.
On the outside, it may seem like a pack of wolves, but it is actually a coven, or rather hideout for demons while they make their plans. Diana was smart enough to carry this out because, with the rumors about demons flying around, other packs and mystical beings would have come together to kill them with the ancient sword a second time.
Now that they all stay in the shadows, right in this pack, no one can fight them. It would even be impossible to fish them out one after the other.
I tried as much as possible not to give away my observance as I took a few slow steps forward on the marble floor, moving closer to the gigantic throne, which was a few distance away. I had to come closer so she would hear whatever I had to say.
You won’t believe it was when I drew closer that I was able to sight the crouched man on the throne as the Alpha, his head hung low with his hairs scattered around his face. He looked so worn out and hungry.
Everyone in the palace was looking up at me except him. He doesn’t even seem to have the strength to make a movement.
“Hey! We have a visitor in the palace, and you still keep your head low. Are you mad?” Diana huffed at him with a smack on the back of his head, as if he were a kid being shunned by the mother. It wasn’t even like a kid; it was like a maid who was being cautioned by the boss.

Chapter 68
“I am sorry,” was the only thing he could mutter as he lifted his head to see who the visitor was, and there our eyes met. 1 saw pain. I saw a man crushed to pieces and destroyed to the point of nothing
His eyes are teary and filled with guilt and exhaustion. It was like he was just holding onto a single reason to live. This wasn’t the man I saw when I visited this pack with Lucian.
Fuck!
He was someone you’d look at and realize he had left being a living being for a toy.
“Welcome to the pack,” he said to me with a forced smile. It can’t even pass as a smile, as his lips only widened weirdly
I couldn’t give him any response. All that was on my mind was Selene. How would she feel seeing her father this way? She really cares, and that was why she wrote the letter.
At this point, she really has to come earlier if she wants to meet her father alive, because I am sure depression must have taken the bigger part of him, and life is now meaningless.
Just maybe it was that letter that gave him hope not to end it all. He may really be waiting for his daughter to come and rescue him, but until when? He doesn’t seem like he can hold on too long.
-What brought you here already? Has that foolish girl done something wrong?” Diana asked.
“Yes. The camera in the room was broken by her when she flung her shoe at me. I dodged, and that was it; the camera got broken. I have to rush and tell you so we won’t miss anything. I am sure she intentionally did that for an ulterior motive.”
I made sure I sounded convincing enough for her to believe strongly that I was on her side.
She nodded and gave me those satisfied looks. “You are perfectly right. She must have done that intentionally. It’s so right that you come to report. I will send people to fix it immediately.”
Days passed, and it finally got to the day when my sister was going to bring the sword. I had told Selene to give me a day off so I could go stay with my guardian. I was going to return once Ria returned.
The request was granted since she believes and trusts me. I don’t know, but Diana suddenly gave me so much trust.
After getting ready to leave, the door of the room opened. Since Ria was out, it was surely someone else, and I wasn’t expecting any visitors, so I turned to the door with a squeezed face, wondering who was there to barge in.
I know they don’t know when Ria was here, but now that she is absent and I’m now the one staying here, they shouldn’t dare walk in without knocking
The frown on my face washed away as I saw who was at the doorstep. My head bowed immediately. Diana was dressed in a robe, and it doesn’t seem like she had anything else inside. Her cleavage and the transparency of her cloth material give a clear view of her round ass and thighs.
I don’t know what she was here with such a dress, but I knew better than looking at her body so she wouldn’t think I had anything in mind, then pick fault with it and punish me.
She hadn’t been harsh to me since I came here, but I knew it didn’t change the fact that she was evil. Maybe I hadn’t done anything wrong yet.
“Why is your gaze fixed on the floor, like you kept something there?” She said with a voice barely above whispers, walking in and shutting the door. She even locked it and dipped the key into her pocket.
“I am sorry, ma’am.” I apologized and began to stare at her face.
“Is it only my face you’d like to gaze at? If you are scared, don’t worry. Actually, I want you to ogle at me and lick your lips; feed your eyes with my naked body”
My legs stumbled back as I flinched at what she just said.

Chapter 68
It was so unbelievable.
“Ma’am, I really don’t understand.”
“Stop acting like a dumb guy. When a lady dresses this way, it only means one thing, and you know that perfectly.” She smirked, licking her lips’as she stepped closer, fiddling with the knot around her chest that was holding the robe together. Once she unties it, the robe will fall off.
“Ma’am, I don’t understand, for real.”
“Fuck!” She cursed. “Does it mean you look at me like an old woman and don’t see me as attractive anymore? So I am ugly in your eyes, and my body doesn’t move you at all.”
Her tone was now really harsh, and it exuded anger as she glared at me. It seemed she was looking for my validation about. what she wore being sexy, so I fell in line immediately, giving her the compliments she craved.
