RAINA'S POV
In the shadowy corners of my clandestine world, I meticulously crafted a plan to
eliminate Donnie, a formidable threat to my ambitions of getting Alpha Carlyle of
the Moon Shade Pack for myself. The air was thick with tension as I dispatched a
group of skilled assassins after buying their loyalty with promises of power and
wealth.
Days passed, each one a torturous wait for the anticipated news that would
signal the success of my covert operation. Yet, an cerie silence enveloped the
situation, as if the very walls were withholding the secrets of the unfolding drama.
Doubt gnawed at the edges of my confidence, and anxiety clawed at the
recesses of my mind. Had my carefully chosen assassins betrayed me, or had
they fallen victim to Donnie’s cunning traps? The weight of uncertainty bore down
on me, threatening to expose the vulnerabilities I had worked so hard to conceal.
In the midst of my turmoil, I found myself haunted by the consequences of failure.
Donnie’s existence was a formidable barrier to my aspirations, and I couldn't
afford to let sentimentality or hesitation compromise my carefully calculated
maneuvers.
“Alpha Raina, someone seeks your audience. My stand-in maid announced and
I signaled for her to let the person in.”
“Alpha Rex calls for your presence.” He said.
“It's fine. You can go.” I gestured for him to leave.
As the hours stretched into an agonizing eternity, I wrestled with the shadows of
my
own creation.
“Let's go,” I said to my maid who stood up immediately, to obey my command.
Within the confines of my brother's chamber, an unsettling air of tension awaited
me. His countenance betrayed an anger that simmered beneath the surface, and
my attempt at levity merely brushed the edge of his discontent.
“Hey, bro. I was told you missed me.” I said to him as he flashed me a smile.
“Of course, I do.”
“It's such a pleasure, bro.” I said.
“Shut it this instant!” He yelled at me making me flinch. The laughter that briefly

danced in the room dissolved as he forcefully pushed me away, commanding me
to
kneel.
“Kneel!” He ordered and I did so reluctantly. I dare not disobey him in front of his
emissaries. As I descended to my knees, the gravity of his displeasure loomed.
“Do you really think I miss you? Never! I'll only miss you when you stop causing
met trouble! When people stop bri ging reports about you, then, I'll miss you.”
“What's wrong, brother? What did I do wrong?”
“Are you supposed to ask me such a question?”
His voice was sharp and authoritative as it sliced through the silence.
“Your sassy actions within the pack are beneath your status,” he rebuked, his
gaze unwavering in its intensity.
“Who exactly brought my report to you?”
“Who exactly do you want to know?” He fired back, “All I'm discussing with you
here is to change for good and stop your silly behavior.”
In a bid to defend my calculated maneuvers, I ventured into an explanation,
threading. together the reasons behind my every move. Yet, my brother's stern
visage remained unyielding, an impenetrable fortress against my justifications.
The ensuing dialogue unfurled like a verbal duel, each word a weapon in the
clash of perspectives. I pleaded my case, articulating the necessity of my
strategic decisions in the perilous landscape of power and alliances. However,
my brother's conviction in my misjudgments persisted.
The chamber echoed with the discord of our conflicting ideologies, the very
foundations of our familial bond tested. My attempts at reconciliation through
discussion faltered, leaving me at the mercy of my brother's judgment.
In the final throes of our verbal struggle, my brother, unmoved by my arguments,
rendered his verdict.
“From today upward, you'll be deprived the right to your monthly allowance.”
“Alpha Rex!" I shouted out loud, not comfortable by his verdict.
The room, once a haven for family ties, bore witness to the weight of
consequence, as a punishment unfolded—a stark reminder of the high stakes in
our clandestine world.

“Don't call me! I don’t want to hear a word from you. When you think your senses
are alright, we can have this conversation again.” He finalized, leaving me to deal
with my
anger.
As I was about to leave, a messenger walked in with a letter.
“You have a message
from the Moon Shade Alpha.” He said. Expectantly, I watched as my brother
opened the letter.
“What's there?” I asked when I saw him smirking.
“It's Carlyle. He finally decided to hold the Meeting of The elders. Something big
must. have happened.”
Hearing that, my joy knew no bounds. I would probably have a chance to see him
again.
“When is the meeting going to be held and where?”
“That's none of your business. Go reflect on yourself in your room.”
Angrily, I asked my maid.
“How much do I have in my savings?”
“About three million.”
“Let's go. I have to bind that bitch. If assassins can't be trusted, I'll rather handle
her myself.
“Miss Raina, let's not do this. Your monthly allowance has been cut off. What will
you spend if you use the savings now?"
“I don't care. It's not your business. How dare you question me?” I fired at her.
