Liv's POV
Frank gestured for me to move forward, which I did. He stepped beside me, filling the space between us.
I felt the warmness of his hand on mine and I blushed hard. The way he cared for me wasn't a new thing to me but each time he treated me with so much love, I couldn't help but immense myself in those feelings that clouded my heart.
I was even able to have some self control around him. I mean which girl wouldn't fall head over heels in love with him especially when he was so gentle and soft.
Frank was the perfect definition of my dream man, my knight in shining armor.
The way he looked at me and called my name gave me a tingling sensation in between my thighs and thinking about it had only worsened matters.
My fingers got intertwined with his and he lead me out of the woods with slow steps.
I shut my eyes close, instantly opening it when I realised what I wanted to ask him.
I was so immersed in admiring his good qualities that it slipped out of my mind.
I cleared my throat, loud enough for him to know that I was about to start a conversation and I braced myself up.
"Frank" I called out, his gaze turning to me and he lifted up his eyebrow inquisitively.
"I need to know why Luna Jennie gifted me such a pendant despite knowing it was harmful to me, please make me understand" I asked
I was quite nervous with anticipation creeping through my body. I really wanted answers because the feeling of the pendant on my neck was undescribable.
I wouldn't even wish such excruciating pain on the person I hated the most. Frank removed his gaze from mine without saying a word to me.
I would have expected that once again he wouldn't give me answers to my unending questions.
I knew there was no point in asking him but yet I always foung a way to make a laughing mockery out of myself.
I wanted to get upset and raise my voice at him but I recalled he had been that way from the moment he forcibly took me away from Luna Jennie.
There was really more to what my eyes had seen and I wouldnt leave any stone unturned to get to the source of all my questions. One way or the other, it would surely be answered without having to make a fuss about it.
Once again I had accepted I wasn't going to get what I wanted so there was nothing left than pondering my heart for the answers.
I stopped in a halt alongside Frank who lifted his gaze to mine and he stepped closer with few inches.
"What's wrong Liv?" he asked in a calm tone. I was almost convinced that was the calmest tone I've ever heared him speak in.
"It's nothing, I just want to hear your voice. You've been quite for so long and it's killing me silently" I muttered, turning my head sideways in order to avoid his eyes casting a spell on me.
Frank scoffed, letting out a soft chuckle.
"Is that how much you care for me?" Frank asked, his questions coming off the blues. I didn't expect him to think like that, especially when it came to me.
I made an irritated face at him and I rolled my eyes in an annoying way, as though I was fed up with him but that wasn't the case.
"Oh please, save yourself the boost of ego. I just did what you'll do for me, it's not like I care so much about you" I divulged, lieing through my teeth and for some reason I felt bad about it.
"Really?" he queried, his hands dropping to his sides and the memories of him tugging me closer to him flashed in my brain.
I smacked my forehead from thinking in such a way but my emotions and hormones were to be blamed for whatever feeling was surging through me.
"Is there something else you want me to say? and you've been staring for so long Frank" I reminded him.
"It's not my fault when I can't help but admire how gorgeous you look" he complimented and I instantly frowned at him.
"The mirror in my room has better eyes than you. I look so pale and you are complimenting my looks just to taunt me" I fired back at him.
"My words are purely truthful and I'm talking about your heart, it looks gorgeous" Frank said and I bursted out laughing.
"Oh really? I'm leaving Frank, I really don't want to stay here any longer" I pronounced, blushing like a typical high school lover.
"Before you go I just want to let you know that everything will be fine and I won't let anyone harm you because I'll protect you in everything possible means I can" Frank assured and I could feel the sincerity in his words.
I instantly became more confused, whilst coming to the pack everyone was welcoming.
Luna Jennie has been the best Luna I've ever experienced but within a snap of fingers, everything had changed.
I really had no idea if she was a threat to my safety in the dark sky pack house or not?
I had no idea on whom I should stay away from and whom I should bring close to me?
The only person I trusted at the moment was Frank and it was always going to be that way untill I could finally find myself around without anyone's help.
I forced a smile at Frank who stared intensely at me and in order not to make the situation more awkward than how it was, I turned my back against him and walked to my room.
I pushed the door of my room open, stepping inside as I slammed the door shut and leaned my back against it.
The thoughts of what Frank meant by darkmoon pack was the problem and not me filled my head once again.
I knew it wasn't good for me to overthink too much especially when I wasn't getting what I desperately wanted.
I sprawled my body on my bed so I could let nature overtake me but that wasn't the case.
For an hour I kept tossing on the bed as I felt restless. My throat felt parched with my eyes searching around for a glass of water to quench my thirstiness.
I lifted the jug on the table beside my bed stand but it was empty so I decided to refill it and perhaps take a stroll and sit outside for some minutes since sleep decided to forsake me so I could let myself sink into the cold breeze that was about to blow through my body.
I stood up from my bed, twisting the knob of my door and I stepped out to get some relief.
The day was getting dark already and I was convinced no one will be seen outside as they are all getting rest from quite a hectic day.
I reached the kitchen, dropping the empty jug aside and I opened the fridge to get another jug which is filled with water.
Whilst strolling back from the kitchen, I noticed there was a lonely passageway and the curiosity inside of me kicked in.
I wanted to know where the passageway leads to while I use it to pass time till whenever sleeps sank in.
I kept on walking in silence when a familiar voice boomed through my ear and I froze at the spot, my legs feeling numb to the floor.
What the heck was going on? and what is Luna Rebecca doing in the dark sky pack?.
That was her voice and I was totally sure that I could never make a mistake in identifying her.
I quickly ran to the direction of her voice, hiding beside the door.
Luna Rebecca back was against me and I knew she was talking to someone but I was unable to see the face of the person.
"I feel like our plan has backfired, it isn't going the way I thought and it's getting me frustrated" Luna Rebecca complained and I paid attention so I could hear everything she was spewing out of her mouth, word for word.
"What exactly is the problem?" someone else asked and I knew it was the person who was in the same room with her.
I wasn't so dumb not to tell that it was a man's voice.
The voice of the man was very familiar but I didn't know who exactly it belonged to .
It wasn't really that important to me, what was more important was Luna Rebecca.
"The triplets are so stubborn that they aren't listening to me and I'm so helpless that I can't do a thing about it otherwise I wouldn't hesistate to show them their different places" Luna Rebecca stated and I clamped a hand over my mouth to stop myself from reacting.
"That shouldn't be an issue, we can always handle them" he responded.
"Handling them isn't as easy as I thought it would be. I thought killing Arthur was going to be the start of our victory, but it seems with each passing day, we are failing" she let out and I was so taken aback at what I heared.
Luna Rebecca didn't deserve to be called a woman or a wife. How could she overlook humanity and bear so much cruelty in her heart?.
I had the impression of since she was exposed for trying to kill alpha Arthur the first time, she would try to thread carefully but I was wrong in everything I thought.
She killed her husband and it didn't ring a bell in her head that she committed a big crime. She didn't even feel remorseful.
What amazed me the most was the fact that she wasn't in this crime alone, someone else helped her to fulfill all her selfish endeavours and that person was from the dark sky pack.
I noticed a hand wrapped around her waist, pulling her into a hug with his face inside the crook of her neck.
"It's okay everything is going to be alright, I'll make sure of it" he said and Luna Rebecca started sobbing.
"I'm tired and the only thing I want right now is to get back with you. We have been apart for too long and there is no hindrance" Luna Rebecca voiced out.
"There is still a hindrance and I have to take care of that" the man answered back as she pulled apart from the hug and she gave him a quick kiss on his lips.
She turned to leave and I swiftly bent down to avoid getting caught otherwise my life wouldn't be spared if she caught a glimpse of me, not even by mistake.
She would shut my mouth forever in order to hide her secret and stop it from coming to light.
She made her way out as the man came into view and I gasped at the most shocking revelation ever.
Alpha Lucas?
Frank's Father?
What the hell was he doing with Luna Rebecca?.
My thoughts couldn't process anything and I almost lost my stamina at what I saw but I was quick to hold onto the door tightly.
There wasn't any way I was seeing things and it almost felt like I was having a panic attack as my body began to shake uncontrollably.
I came to a conclusion
The Alpha of Darksky pack was helping Her and he also had a hand in Alpha Arthur's death.
