Darius
We waited for Raphael to join us before leaving. I could see the giddiness in Lily’s eyes, and I remained silent.
“I hope Luna Zora won’t be mad about this Alpha. I do not want to anger luna,” She said with a sly tone, and I wanted to hit her, but I controlled myself. If what Zora said checked out, she would have betrayed me beyond repair. I was holding my temper.
“What is going on?” Raphael linked me.
“Be attentive,” was all I could manage, and he was silent.
We got to Lily’s room which she shared with two other girls, and I entered.
The room was beautifully furnished, and three beds were placed in it. Beside each bed was a vanity table. It looked like a luxurious hostel, which was the point, and Cindy stood with her head bowed.
I knew what she was thinking, and she began to undo her tunic to confirm my suspicion. I could feel her joy and expectation. I had never given her the sign that I wanted anything sensual with her, but I knew it was a fantasy in her head, and it almost cost me my relationship with Zora.
“Keep your clothes on,” I ordered quietly. She looked confused but nodded.
“I am at your service, Alpha,” She said with her head bowed.
“Where is your bed?” I asked, and she eagerly pointed to the bed close to the wall. I linked the women that came with us to search through her

things.
Lily became apprehensive immediately.
“What is going on, Alpha?” She said, looking worried.
“Hold her, Raphael,” I told my Gamma, and he did as I had said.
“Where is the phone, Lily?” I asked her and her eyes widened.
“Do not bother lying because people told me you have one. Where did you put it?” I asked her, and she bowed her head and began to sob.
“Where is it!” I yelled, feeling my anger bubbling to the surface at the realisation that there was indeed a phone and Zora was right.
“Inside the mattress under my bed,” She confessed. The women lifted her mattress, and there the phone was.
They brought it to me, and it had no number and no messages, but the call log had an anonymous caller on it. The person was wise to hide their caller identity when calling.
“How did you get this?” I asked her calmly, and she sobbed. I tried to hold my temper because I knew I could kill her.
“What have you given them?” I asked her, and she continued to cry
“Answer me!” I yelled with my authority, and she shook.
She struggled and broke away from Raphael and went on her knees.
“I am sorry, Alpha. I am sorry. They promised I would go home but threatened they would wipe my family out if I did not comply,” she said without answering my question.
“Do not test my patience, Lily. What did you give them, and who were
to!” Leaked bar and
“They did not give me a name. Sometimes it was a woman and sometimes a man,” She said, and I grabbed her neck and squeezed.
“What did you give them?” I asked, angry.
“Darius?” I heard Zora’s voice in my head, and I cursed under my breath because I wasn’t expecting her to be awake.
“Darius?” I heard her voice again, and I released Cindy’s neck.
“Yes, darling, I am in Lily’s room, you are right,” I said, and she did not reply. I knew she was on her way.
“What did you give them?
“Banking details, signatures, royal seals, envelopes, and I placed a backdoor on your computer to help them monitor what you were doing.” She said quickly, and I slapped her.
She fell to the ground. I was enraged.
“You practically helped facilitate the treason against me, you bitch!!” I said, and I landed another slap.
“Do you know what you have done!” I yelled, and she remained on the ground. Just then, Zora burst in, out of breath and barefooted. She must have run to where I was.
“Why did you run?” I scolded her, afraid because of her condition. Our baby meant everything to me, and I did not like her running.
“What happened?” She said, and I bowed my head. Cindy was crying, her nose bleeding.
“It was Cindy that helped facilitate the treasonous moves. She exposed me to them, Zora. Bugged my computer, gave them my signature, my seal…” I said and wanted to send another slap when Zora stopped me.

“Cindy,” Zora said, standing between me and the treacherous bitch.
“Why did you do it?” she asked, and Lily could not stop crying.

“Your actions would have cost Abelardo his life or made Darius lose his lordship. You could have caused a war. Why did you do it?” Zora asked, sounding pained.
“Because I am tired of being here all by myself. They promised me
freedom, and I wanted it badly. Since he did not want me and would never see me, I chose to take my chances…” She said, and Zora slapped her before she could complete her sentence.
“That is the most stupid excuse I have ever heard!” Zora said.
“Do you think life is all about sex!” Zora yelled at her angrily.
“If you loved him, you wouldn’t have done this. We can never harm the people we love this way. I thought you would have a good excuse, but you disappointed me,” Zora growled.
“The East and South hate him, and part of the west is wary of him because of this. Do you know the extent of the damage you helped our enemies cause? What was his crime? Making us comfortable when we were all supposed to be languishing in a cell because that is what happens to war prisoners,” she said. I pulled her to my body by the waist to stop her from saying those words because I did not want her to refer to herself as a prisoner.
“Please, Zora,” I said, and she shook her.
“No, Darius. Sometimes people have to hear the truth as it is. When we were dragged to the north, I thought I would be a slave. Only for me to be pampered and cared for even more so than I was back home, and I know the same is for you, Lily. How dare you feel entitled? How dare you!” Zora said, angry, and I could feel Monica emerging.

“You have exposed us to great danger! Where are your puppeteers now? They won’t save you from what I will do to you, Lily. They won’t save you,” Zora said, and Cindy looked at her.
Zora lifted her chin while Cindy remained on her knees.
“Tell me how you got recruited, and 1 will make it easy,” She said, and Lily’s eyes danced with fear.
Zora slapped her impatiently.
“I do not have all day, Cindy. Tell me now!” She said. That was when I realised why every Alpha needed a Luna.
“There… is… there is an uprising group in the north, and they are recruiting members. I do not know where their headquarters is or how they meet. It was a former Luna that is in service that recruited me eight months ago. I refused to help, but when they threatened to wipe out my family, I decided to help them.” She said, and Zora laughed.
“You expect me to believe that bullshit?” Zora said and slapped Lily again.
“They did not need to threaten you for your cooperation. Lily. Darius just had to get with me to make you snap and want to bring his downfall, you scornful bitch! What is your handler’s name?” Zora asked her.
“Sofia Malek,” She said, and Zora stepped back, allowing the men to carry her away.
“Guard her and make sure no harm comes to her. She is mine” She ordered them, and they looked at me. I nodded, letting them know they were to follow her orders.
The situation with Lily had blown this thing wide, but I was glad we now had a name. Sofia was a luna that worked in the kitchen for the harem.
