Rebecca stepped out for some jewelry shopping when she got drugged and abducted.
The next minute she woke up, she was bound with chains and strapped to a chair, she could hear voices from outside and knew her abductors weren't far, she was about to tell to them to untie her when Lily opened the door.
"Hi Rebecca" she said with a devious smile on her face, it was all her plan to abduct Rebecca so that she won't have to tell the Alpha about the truth.
"You bitch" Rebecca cursed upon seeing her face, she was so annoyed that she wanted to slap the shit out of her.
"Are you surprised to see me?" Lily picked a seat sitting right in front of her.
Seeing her bound in chains made her feel free, she was the only one who knew her secret and having her in her custody made her feel on control.
"What is this about? Rebecca asked with twisted lips.
"What do you think this is about, since you have always threatened me to tell the Alpha the truth, I have decided to silence you forever" Lily answered folding her arms, a big smile was on her face after she said that.
"Do you think this is going to stop the truth from coming out, do you think no one is going to know that you are not carrying the Alpha's baby but that of the chief guard?" Rebecca asked, the same way she knew about them, she believed it would be the same way someone else could figure out about it. All it took was a slip up from them and someone else was bound to know the truth.
"You are the only one who knows the truth at the moment and we are going to keep it that, two is enough but three is a crowd Rebecca, you just have to go" she said making it clear to her that she had no use for her life.
"Are you really going to kill me?" Rebecca asked with a hint of fear in her eyes, she wasn't special to the Alpha at the moment so no one would care if she were dead or not. She didn't want to die yet, she had too many secrets that she could use to her advantage and she was just getting started on a few.
"Ofcourse,
You should have just pitied me and let it go when I beg you earlier but you just had to be selfish, this is what you get for that" Lily replied.
"What was I supposed to do, let you walk all over me when I know you don't deserve it, the Luna title isn't yours in the first place you are not the first mistress and that child of yours cannot be the next Alpha because he is not Alpha Reid's child" Rebecca blurted out.
She hated everything Lily was doing to get a title that wasn't her originally, she brought about the pregnancy and tried to steal it from her making her furious.
"Yes, Do you have a choice?
If the Alpha believes that the child is his then the child is truly his, don't you dare think that you can stop me.
Day before yesterday you were parading around threatening me to tell the Alpha the truth and today you are strapped to a chair about to die, how funny is that?" She commented.
She looked out the window and could see Richard keeping guard, all these was because of him, she was able to convince him to get rid of Rebecca because she knew the truth about them and he agreed to play along just to keep him their secret safe.
Rebecca noticed her staring outside and tried to see what she was looking at but she couldn't see anyone from the angle she was seating.
"Either way Rebecca, the Luna ceremony is tomorrow and I will be coronated as the Luna and there will be nothing you can do about it.
Just a little hint, you will be killed while the ceremony is going on and then after that, I will bury your body so deep that they would never be able to find you" she blurted out to her and Rebecas became stiff, Hearing that the Luna ceremony was going to be held and Lily would be coronated at the Luna and not her made her boiling mad. It was supposed to be her ceremony instead because she deserved the title, she had tried talking to the Alpha about it but he wouldn't listen.
She had all the evidence to stop it but she just couldn't because she was now tied up by Lily.
"So long Rebecca, I will meet you on the other side several years from now" she stated and was about to leave.
"Does Richard know about this?" She asked to know who her enemies were.
"Yes, you don't think I did all this by myself right.
I am smart enough to know that I can't handle you by myself but I also know that you can't go against the two of us.
You can scream all you want but no one will hear you.
Bye Rebecca" Lily waved at her with a smile while Rebecca just glared at her.
"If she tries anything funny, just kill her" Lily ordered the guard by the door much to Rebecca's hearing.
She stepped out to see Richard waiting for her,
"Do you really have to do this?" He asked, he hated that she was still going on with the Luna ceremony even after she claimed she came back for him.
"Yes Richard, I have to do this for our future. I don't want my child to be just as guard, I want him to be something more" she said with greed in her eyes. She wanted the best for herself and her son and she felt she could get that with Alpha Reid because he believed the child was his.
"I don't want you to be his Luna, I want us to run away together.
Let's leave all this behind and start a new life, a life were there would be no titles, just us living together happily" he said.
Richard still pictured himself being with her as a family, he wanted to get her out if the pack and start a new life even if it meant giving up his family tradition of being guards, he was ready to do that just for her.
"Tell me where you want to go, anywhere and I would take you there but just don't be his Luna I am begging you Lily" he pleaded almost going down on his knees.
"I really want to go with you but I just can't live such a good life behind.
If you really love me Richard then you would know that I am doing this for us.
For our child to have a brighter future where he would have others now at his feet rather than having to bow at Alphas feet" she stated.
Richard felt sad, when she came to him, he thought she had given up on such fantasies and chosen him completely but he was deceiving himself with such idea because she only came to him to help her get rid of Rebecca and he accepted to do that because he loved her.
"For us" she whispered into his ears and left.
***
The next morning, the preparation for the Luna ceremony had officially began.
Hava got dressed in a beautiful green dress and went searching for Ashton, she found him dressed in a black suit, his hair was all combed to the back giving him a handsome look.
He walked towards her and smiled,
"You look beautiful" he complimented and she smiled.
"You look ravishing" she answered and he chuckled.
"Have you seen Rebecca, she is needed for the event to swear an obedience oath.
Alpha Reid had demanded that all the mistresses should swear an obedience oath to the new Luna of the pack making sure that they all obeyed the Luna.
"No, I haven't seen her since yesterday" Hava replied dawning on her that she hadn't seen her at all, after she scolded her for failing the plan to poison and kill the child she hadn't seen her again even though she saw her on a daily basis before.
"The ceremony is about to start, I hope she is not retaliating" he said.
Rebecca had always been against Lily being the Luna and he knew it, he just hoped she didn't want to come out because she couldn't afford to take the oath and swear her loyalty to Lily.
"I will go search for her"
"I will come with you" Hava replied.
She wanted anything to be with him.
"You can't, they might need you and besides the ceremony is about to start" Ashton suggested not wanting to put her in a tough situation of being seen with him.
"It's fine, I can just tell them that I needed you to help me search for Rebecca, let's go" she took the lead and they arrived at Rebecca's room, her bed was untouched like she hadn't slept there last night.
"That's strange" Hava said recognizing that her dress for the event wasn't delivered to her, all dressed were picked by the Alpha so that they wouldn't outshine the Luna's dress.
"Her dress isn't here" she added.
"Now I feel like she is retaliating" Ashton concluded, his guts was telling him that Rebecca intentionally disappeared to not appear for the event.
"I don't think so, Rebecca would never back down from an event like this, as a matter of fact she might be up to something to crash it.
She knows the ceremony would go on without her" Hava answered.
They walked past Lily's room while the door was opened, once Hava saw her, she paused to admire her dress, it was elegant and beautiful.
"You are still more beautiful than her" Ashton whispered after she joined him again.
"I know, I was just thinking about the opportunity I missed for rejecting you in the first place" She regretted.
If she had accepted Ashton in the first place then she would have been the Luna of the Crescent moon pack and not be some mistress all because of her greed.
"We are together now, that's all that matters" he answered.
After an hour of fruitless search for Rebecca, Ashton and Hava finally concluded that she wanted to sabotage the event, they waited by the entrance for her.
Meanwhile Lily arrived and the big doors were open wide for her.
She walked gracefully towards the stage where Alpha Reid watched her with no expression on his face, it could said that his eyes were on her stomach instead of watching her with admiration, Lily was almost due to give birth and he waited for his heir in anticipation.
She stood in front of the crowd with a smile on her face, her eyes met Richard standing among the guards, he had a look of hurt on his face but she didn't mind.
She believed she was doing it for both of them, to give their child a better future by being the Luna of the pack.
"Do you Lily accept to be the Luna of this pack?" Alpha Reid asked officiating the whole event, he wanted to be in charge of it all so that there could be no mistake.
"Yes I do" she stated loudly and fairly.
"Is there anyone here who has anything to say, should speak now or forever hold their peace?" He asked but his daring eyes was on them all, he searched among the mistresses and found out that Rebecca was missing as long as Hava. He frowned at such sight and decided it was better to continue the event without them and might punish them later for not attending it.
"Without no complaints, we shall then..."
The doors opened wide and Rebecca walked in with Ashton and Hava behind her.
"I object" she yelled looking all bruised and wounded.
Lily and Richard stared at her in shock.
