Celia finally left for Riga accompanied by five lycans from the Obsidian Sand Pack while Eloise waited in Arria, filled with anger and anxiety.
If Leland returned to Sophie, it would not only be little Anne she would kill but Sophie and little Jack as well. She was going to show Leland the consequences of betraying him. She would try her hardest to get close to Sophie and kill her. If she couldn't be happy, then Leland must not be happy.
The next day, Celia and her five companions arrived at Lievstad and managed to infiltrate the manor of Duke Romanov.
Currently, Lucas and Lily's wedding was taking place. The manor was crowded with guests to celebrate the new Alpha's nuptials and it made it easier for them to sneak and look for information. They removed their scent and pretended to be guests from another pack who ca in their human forms.
"Do you see Leland anywhere?" Celia asked while looking at the bride and groom in front of them.
"No. I don't see him anywhere," replied one of her people.
"What about Sophie?"
They all shook their heads. There was no sign of Sophie and her children anywhere either.
"Then you guys split up and look further. I will seek information from these guests," said Celia. the five lycans followed her orders.
On the altar, Lily and Lucas just uttered finished uttering their mating vows, and now were kissing. Both their faces were blushing. All the guests clapped when their kiss ended.
Alpha Rad who was very happy to see his only daughter married, shifted into his wolf form and howled very loudly followed by several mbers of the Blue Moon Pack who also witnessed the wedding. It was their way of congratulating the couple. Soon, the whole building was filled with uproar and howling sounds.
"May the moon goddess always bless Alpha and Luna with happiness?" The elder who presided over the wedding wished the bride and groom good wishes.
Celia narrowed her eyes when she heard the elder address Lucas and his mate the Alpha and Luna of the pack. So, the leaders of the Blood River Pack were no longer Leland and Sophie but the new couple. She thought this was good news.
"Our new Luna looks prettier than the previous Luna," said one female lycan near Celia.
She glanced at the two female lycans to her right. She listened carefully to the gossip from the won.
"I disagree. Luna Sophia is prettier," said the other woman.
"Oh, so now you've defended her? Wasn't it that you didn't like her all this ti?"
"Indeed. I'm just stating an honest opinion, but that doesn't an I like her. Other than that face she doesn't have any qualities to be Luna."
"Well, you're right. She's so weak. She's just a burden to Alpha Leland and the pack. Luckily, she still has so sha and decided to leave, because she's a nobody after Alpha broke up with her. The new Luna seems to be more reliable. "
"Hm, you're right. So, what do you think about the new Alpha? Do you think Lucas can lead us well?"
"Sigh... he is nowhere as good as Leland, but not bad. He's decent enough."
Celia furrowed her brows. She got additional information, which was about Sophie who had left the mansion. But where did Sophie go? Was Leland currently with Sophie?
Not long after, the five lycans returned to Celia's side and they gave her the sa information, naly about Sophie who left the mansion and pack with her four children.
"Didn't you guys get any information about Leland?" Celia asked them again, unhappy with the report. She felt burdened to bring so news to Eloise about Leland, but so far they didn't get anything.
"From their conversation, I heard from a maid that Alpha Leland never ca back here after he renounced the pack and his mate."
From the altar, Lucas, who saw the six people and felt he had never seen them, felt suspicious.
"Are they your relatives?" He spoke to Lily in a whisper and she imdiately followed her mate's gaze.
"No," Lily knitted her brows. "I thought they were mbers of your pack."
"No." Lucas gestured for Max and the others to approach the six people standing by the pillar in the middle of the hall.
"Damn, looks like they are suspecting us. Let's go," said Celia. She turned around and tried to disappear among the crowds. The five lycans followed suit.
"Wait!" Max shouted. He quickly jumped and ran in their direction.
"Quick!" Celia and her five companions imdiately dashed out, sending Max and the guard lycans after them.
"Disperse!" Celia gave them instructions. The five lycans imdiately went in all different directions and forced Max and his n to split to chase them all. However, thanks to the witch's potion the uninvited guests were able to hide imdiately without having to worry that the lycans from the Blood River Pack would find them by slling their scent.
From behind the wall, Celia noticed Max up ahead who was trying to sll her scent.
"Max." Lucas and Lily ca out of the manor. "Where are they?
"I'm sorry, Alpha, I lost track of them," Max replied apologetically.
"What? How is that possible?"
"I think they used the potion to remove their scents, like the one I and the others used when entering Arria. I think I saw that one of Eloise's witches was among them."
"Dammit!" Lucas gritted his teeth.
"Do you think they are spies sent by Eloise?" Lily asked, causing Lucas and Max to look at her questioningly.
"Why do you think like so?" Lucas asked her. "Why would she send spies here?"
"I was just guessing. Alpha Leland went to Arria to save Eloise and when he returned he suddenly resigned from being the Alpha of your pack and he even severed ties with Luna Sophia. I think Eloise has sothing to do with Alpha Leland's sudden decision," Lily said.
"But what happened?" Lucas was confused.
"I don't know." Lily looked gloomy. Nobody knew the answer to Lily's questions.
Max looked around again and found no one. Finally, he entered the manor and ordered more guards to secure the periter. At that mont, Celia ca out of hiding.
After a while, her five companions approached her. They left that place to return to Arria and convey the news of the information they had received to Eloise.
***
When they arrived at the Arria Palace, they were imdiately asked to appear before Eloise to the lycan guarding the gate because Eloise had ordered them to imdiately co and see her when they arrived at the palace
She had almost lost all her patience waiting for Leland to return. Eloise badly wanted to destroy Anne's soul stone but she soon realized that if she did she would have no more leverage, and Leland for sure would kill her.
She could see that if she pushed her luck, Leland would beco so angry and he would break his oath and kill her.
"What information did you get?" She asked shortly after Celia entered her room.
Seeing Eloise's angry face, Celia and her five lycan companions stumbled and beca extrely tense.
"W-we've been to Livstad a-and Alpha Leland was not there. Currently, the Blood River Pack is led by a new Alpha which is Lucas, and his mate, Lily Moonchester. When we arrived they were having a wedding," said Celia.
She added, "I also heard that Sophie and her four children had left the manor and the pack. From the conversation among the mbers of Blood River Pack, I heard Sophie is currently staying with King Nicholas in the royal palace."
"Tch, what a cheap whore!" Eloise cursed. "You just keep going back and forth between one man to another...!"
She didn't want to admit that she was jealous of Sophie's luck. She had two n ready to take her in whatever happened to her. In the past, when Nicholas left her, Sophie was imdiately taken care of under Leland's wings. And now when the sa thing happened to her, Leland left her, Nicholas happily took her back.
anwhile, she... a more beautiful, smarter, and powerful woman who was all that couldn't even get the one man she had always wanted.
Tch!
BRAKK!
In her fit of rage, Eloise sent the pots and vases near her flying and breaking them on the floor. Celia and the lycans squird in their spots, feeling nervous. Eloise's eyes turned red and she gritted her teeth.
"Useless! You can't even find news about Leland! Get out!! GET OUT BEFORE I KILL ALL OF YOU!!"
Celia stepped back and then got out of the room in haste, followed by the five lycans. Eloise's chest heaved up and down as her breath panted in anger. She waved her hand and sent a fireball into the wall. It imdiately burned, leaving black charred marks.
"Fuck you, Sophie! I hate you so much!"
