riya’s POV~
I clenched my fists so tight my nails almost broke the skin, as if pain could cool down the fire boiling inside . My eyes darted to Kale, and then to her... that filthy little bitch flaunting herself in broad daylight, daring to sway her hips as if she could seduce my mates right in front of .
I gulped down the fury clawing up my throat. Not today. I could not lose my mind today.
Today is too important.
Because the man from the werewolves council is here and he is none other than my uncle. My mother’s brother. The forr Alpha of Blood Fang pack, Alpha Navien.
Yes. My uncle from the sa blood.
He would help today. He had already promised that I should take my chance, that I should seize it with both hands, and if I did, he would make sure the Alphas bent to . He would make them submit.
"Today," I whispered to myself, feeling the fire calm into sothing sharper, hungrier. "Today I win."
My mother has a brother and a sister and both of them are at very high positions, my aunt is the Lycan Queen and my uncle the respected mber of the Werewolves council.
If not for that bitch’s father, my mother and father would have still been alive and I wouldn’t have to live like a fucking orphan under the scraps of my aunt and uncle.
So when my uncle arrived, I decided to get on his good side.
A grand welcoming, the kind that would make the walls shake with music and the pack bow down in awe. Surely my uncle deserved that. Surely the Alphas would arrange such magnificence.
But no.
No order was given for a grand celebration. No golden banners, no thunder of drums. Just... a simple gathering, which got on my nerves.
I felt my jaw clench at the thought. My uncle, a man of such power, welcod like he were nothing but a traveler passing through. How dare they.
No... nothing would happen like this if I am here.
So I made sure the gathering was elevated, made sure it glead, made sure it whispered high end in every corner, dripping with wine and luxury. I oversaw every detail, every plate, every flower, because this was not their mont... it was mine.
When my uncle entered, he would not be welcod by them. He would be welcod by . He would see .
And then there would be more chance that my uncle would go to any length just to help secure the title of Luna of Silver Dawn pack.
I sat there bathed in my own glory, waiting, waiting, so patiently for my uncle to arrive. The gathering was mine. The lights, the wine, the laughter, all of it spoke of . My heart bubbled with excitent because after this party, after tonight, everything would change.
I had it all planned.
I will make sure these Alphas fall in my beauty trap and when they lose themselves in desire and the deed is already done, then my uncle would pressure them to accept as their chosen mate.
I have already prepared the drug for it, strong enough to knock out the senses of powerful Alphas like them. Just the thought of what might happen later made giddy.
The thought alone made my lips curve, made my chest tight with sweet pride. I could already see it. Their gazes, their surrender. I would be their mate, their queen.
But then slowly as ti passed the bubbling inside began to die.
The minutes slipped by. The hall grew restless. Everyone’s eyes began to turn uneasy. Because still there was no sign of my uncle.
The Alphas had already arrived. Their presence heavy, commanding. But him? No sign.
Why?
This was disrespect to any Alpha guest; is it not everyone who has to arrive before the Alpha of the pack? And Alpha Aeron with his brothers had already arrived, but there was no sign of him.
Half an hour passed. Still nothing. My hands trembled under the table. I was just about to send soone, just about to demand where he was, why he dared to make them wait...
When the doors burst open.
A man ran inside, his face pale as death, his eyes wild. My heart stilled. I knew him. The council ssenger. The one who had co with my uncle.
Sothing cold slid into .
My heart dropped into my stomach before he even spoke. I could see it on his face. Fear. Terror.
"What happened?" My voice was thin as paper, I didn’t even realize when I pushed myself to the front of the crowd.
He bowed, shaking. "Alpha Navien... is nowhere. We cannot find him. He does not answer the mind-link. Since afternoon we waited, but he never ca. It is like—" His voice cracked. "It is like he has disappeared."
The hall fell silent.
I could not breathe. My uncle? Disappeared? Impossible. He was not so weak fool to vanish like smoke. He would never ignore the mind-link. Sothing had definitely happened.
My vision swam. My stomach churned. I clenched my fists until they ached.
I turned to Aeron. He stood like stone. Cold and unbothered. His expression barely shifted, only the faint crease of irritation at his brow.
I walked towards him hurriedly. "Aeron... my uncle is not here. You have to find him. Sothing has happened. He would not disappear like this."
But his eyes snapped to . Annoyance flickered there, as if my words themselves were an inconvenience.
The impatience on his face was crystal clear, but he also knew he couldn’t ignore this. After all, Alpha Navien had disappeared in his pack and he would be responsible.
So he ordered his warriors to find the whereabouts of Alpha Navien and I breathed a sigh of relief, at least he was not ignoring this. But my hope died down before it could rise higher.
"I hope your uncle is not making so shitty trouble." And then he turned away, leaving frozen.
Sha burned in my face, searing hot. Anger rose like a storm. I wanted to smash the glasses, tear the tablecloth, scream at them all. But beneath it all, a dread crawled up my spine, cold and rciless.
My uncle was gone.
What would happen to my plan... how was I going to survive this humiliating life? How could my uncle betray like this?
My mind was filled with countless questions and in the midst of them my eyes lifted up and collided with her—the bitch maid. And there was actually a smirk on her face, like she was enjoying a good show, but to it looked like she was mocking .
Bitch, you are dead... breathe until I find my uncle.
