From that day on, a Warrior stood guard at my door every day.
Probably to prevent me from leaving.
I settled down to rest.
Two days later, I had fallen asleep when I felt hands moving over my body.
I woke up with a start and tried to scream, but my mouth was covered.
“It's me, Faye!”
Recognizing Alpha Cary's voice, I breathed a sigh of relief.
In the moonlight, I could see the emotion on his face.
Then he pinned me down.
“Faye, because of you, we haven’t been intimate for a long time. You need to make it up to me.”
My stomach churned.
I pushed him away with all my strength and glared at him coldly.
He didn’t seem to care, his tone teasing.
“What’s wrong? Still angry?”
“I'm here now, aren't I? Gloria is Luna after all; I can't refuse her face.”
I wrapped myself in the blanket.
"I'm just Alpha Cary's Warrior; I have no obligation to sleep with you.
"As you said, you should go to Gloria for this kind of thing.
“Please leave; I need to rest.”
He looked at me in shock, then turned to displeasure.
“Faye, you’re bold enough now. How dare you refuse me? Don’t forget, it was I who brought you to the Cold Moon Pack.”
I sneered, “Then I can leave right now!”
His expression grew even darker as he grabbed my neck.
“You regret it because I didn’t give you Luna’s position?
“In the end, you only saved me for power, for yourself.”
I slapped him across the face.
“When I saved you, you were on the brink of death, abandoned in the wilderness.
“At that time, I had no idea about your abilities .I have no idea why you were like this now. Saying like that is utterly heartless!”
He snorted coldly and released my neck.
“It seems you still haven’t realized your mistake. Keep reflecting on it!”
I remained imprisoned, my injuries fully healed.
That day, I was sitting in the house, lost in thought, when I heard Gloria’s voice outside the door.
“Open the door. I need to see Faye.”
Warrior hesitated.
“Luna, do you have Alpha Cary’s orders? If not, I’m afraid I can’t comply.”
Gloria slapped him across the face.
“Look at who I am. In the Cold Moon Pack, Alpha Cary and I are not different.
“Besides, I have important news to tell Alpha Cary, and I need Faye to deliver the message. Can you take responsibility if something goes wrong?”
Warrior couldn’t take the risk, so he opened the door immediately.
As soon as the door opened, Gloria rushed in.
She grabbed my hand, her body trembling.
“Faye, I have no other options. Now I only trust you.
“There’s a traitor in the Cold Moon Pack. We need someone to deliver a message to Alpha Cary, telling him to come back immediately. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
I looked at her, not believing her.
“Why don’t you go yourself?”
She looked around.
“As Luna, I have to stay behind to distract the traitor. What if he takes control of the Cold Moon Pack after I leave?”
As she spoke, she tried to kneel before me.
I stopped her.
“I’m not doing this for you or for Alpha Cary. I just feel sorry for the other werewolves of the Cold Moon Pack and don’t want them to become Rogues.”
I rushed to the location Gloria had given me without wasting a second.
But I didn’t see Alpha Cary, or even any of the Cold Moon Pack’s werewolves.
I double-checked the location; I hadn’t gone to the wrong place.
Just as I was about to leave, I heard a series of wolf howls, not only numerous but also heading toward me.
My heart tightened, and I fled at top speed, but they blocked my path.
“You have the nerve to trespass onto our territory! What’s your purpose?”
“Oh, a female werewolf, and quite attractive too. Why not stay and keep us company? We’ll make you Luna.”
I knew that some rogues also had their own werewolf packs and elected an Alpha.
But such cases were rare, and I never expected to encounter one.
No, perhaps I should say I was deliberately lured here.
From start to finish, Gloria had been lying to me!
