Nicole sneered back at him, but her fear of what she had heard about him made her stop talking.
Sensing her fear, Liam’s smirk grew wider.
“I rescued you from a lie. You should be grateful and worship me,” he said.
Nicole chuckled sarcastically and tried to leave, but he grabbed her.
“I’m not Shane,” he growled, “If you want to live long enough to pay your debts in Dark Moon, you need to acknowledge me as your leader, and my words are final.”
A golden spark appeared in his blue eyes.
Nicole felt terrified but strangely aroused. Her body reacted to his powerful voice, replacing her negative thoughts with carnal desires involving Liam.
She craved his touch and kisses, she wanted him to take her and help her forget her pain that threatened to suffocate her.
She swallowed and took a step back, but the warmth from his hand on her arm affected her deeply. The throbbing sensation intensified, and she couldn’t resist her physical attraction to Liam. She wanted him. She fantasized about exploring his body and traced the tattoos on his skin with her tongue.
Liam grinned, his eyes fixated on her lips.
“I know how badly you want it. Are you wet for me, Nicole?” he whispered.
Nicole’s breath caught, and she swallowed nervously.
Liam chuckled, “You’re very tempting, Nicole, but not here or now. If it happens again, I’ll make you beg,” he threatened.
Quickly, Nicole pulled away from him and ran off.
“Nicole,” Liam growled, stopping her as she almost reached the door.
“Get ready, we’re leaving in two hours.”
And just like that, Nicole faced her harsh reality. She hurriedly left the conference room and rushed up the stairs to her room. Once inside, she slammed the door shut.
“I thought you would be gone by now,” an icy voice mocked.
To her surprise, one of Shane’s followers was waiting for her on her bed. The presence of this person made her heart race with fear.
Nicole folded her body and clutched her chest. As her heart did a thousand flips. Too much was happening, and her head was threatening to explode.
“Aww, she wants us to give her a final goodbye,” she heard another voice speak up.
“Damn it,” she muttered as she noticed another girl emerging from the shadows. Nicole’s instincts sensed danger; they wanted to harm her. They no longer saw her as the Luna, and she was outnumbered.
Her fear turned to defiance, and she prepared herself for a fight, even though she knew she couldn’t win. She desperately looked for an escape route. Why was she still dealing with this after the confrontation in the conference room? Shouldn’t she be given a break or some space? Did fate have it out for her?
They laughed maniacally.
“Aww, she still thinks she has a chance.”
“Try it,” Nicole blurted out unthinkingly, “Touch a hair on my head.” Her heart bounced within her, she didn’t want a beating, she couldn’t bear it. She was yet to recover from the one Shane gave her that morning.
The girls taunted her, but Nicole refused to show weakness. She falsely claimed to have the protection of the Dark Moon’s Alpha, knowing it wasn’t true.
“You hoes forget that I no longer belong to Crimson. Just lay a finger on me and see what Dark Moon’s Alpha will do. Come on, hit me.” Nicole dared, knowing quite well that she was lying.
The unexpected lie made the girls hesitate, and Nicole used the opportunity to flee from her room. She ran until she found solace in the forest, transforming into her wolf form and running freely.
The events of the day overwhelmed her. She couldn’t believe what had happened, and it all felt like a bad dream. There were so many unresolved issues swirling in her mind.
Was she truly leaving Crimson and joining Dark Moon? And why was she so strangely drawn to Alpha Liam, even though he wasn’t her mate like Shane was supposed to be?
She resented Shane for ruining her life, but the revelation that he wasn’t her fated mate added another layer of bitterness. It meant she should never have become a Luna in the first place, and her servitude to Crimson would have ended already if she had remained an ordinary slave.
As she ran, the mysteries and confusion multiplied, leading her to a grim realization: her situation was dire.
She was fucked.
“How are things going?” Liam asked James, who was directing the warriors and scouts.
“With the Alpha of Crimson? Nothing. He retreated to his private quarters and he is definitely licking his wounds. His pack members are enraged though because you’re taking their Luna.”
“She’s not their Luna,” Liam hissed, not understanding why it grated his nerves anytime Nicole was referred to as Luna of Crimson. It felt wrong.
James shrugged,
“Anyways, they cannot do anything because they’re afraid. The stakeholders have been in a closed-door meeting since then. There are a lot of things for them to deliberate on. There’s the matter of Shane’s lies and deceit, then that of the allies we killed, and finally their combative response to what happened today.
Although they haven’t mobilized their warriors, they are still in a dicey situation. We killed representatives of their allies and those packs expect that you will not leave Crimson alive as retribution.
Although Crimson is scared of going to war with us, yet if they turn a blind eye to what happened here today, they still have to contend with their allies who will now go to war with them,”
Liam chuckled,
“Sucks to be Crimson right now,”
“There is also the matter of Nicole running through the forest.”
