Chapter 43

**Tricia's P.O.V**

I can't believe my Jay threw me out. He acted as if my presence alone upset him. I understand his mate's death was taking a toll on him but I only wanted to offer my condolences in the only way I knew best. The bitch was dead and she still had a hold on my Jay. But she left her side bitch Kiara and I feel as if she knows something I don't. Maybe I should have had her killed along with her so called alpha.

I had only taken two steps towards the door of my little house when I bumped into Felecia who looked like she has been crying for days unend.

"What is wrong mum?" I questioned

"Everything is wrong my dear. Everything" she answered hoarsely

"What do you mean by everything? The Luna of this pack died. It is horrible I get it but that doesn't mean this pack has to die with her. I mean the Luna of this pack can always be replaced"

"Don't talk like that Tricia Bennett! This is blasphemous. What has gotten into you child?"

"What!! I was just stating facts."

"Facts?? You talk about death as if it was nothing... wait a minute... what did you do Tricia?"

"I don't know what you are talking about"

"Don't bullshit me. Your heart just skipped a beat. What did you do Tricia?? Please tell me it's not what I am thinking. Please"

"Well... it is. Beside you told me that I had to fight for what I wanted and do whatever it takes to make your son mine again. So I did"

"No... no... no that is not what I meant. No no no this...this was taking it too far. You crossed a line Tricia. You crossed a line"

"Not as many lines as you have crossed. Don't forget I know what you did Felecia so don’t act like a saint around me. If anything you are worst. Despicable. So save the preaching and innocent facade for someone else"

"How dare you!!! Am still Luna to this pack and you will not disrespect me in such manner"

"You were Luna and I will be Luna... bear that in mind"

"I will tell my son if you dare make a move on him you poisonous snake"

Letting out a laugh, I flashed my canines and said "I would like to see you try but bear in mind that if and when I go down, am taking you with me mummy"

"The impudence of a dying cockroach. Watch your back Tricia honey because I will not stop till you are dead"

"The feeling is mutual Felecia. Let the games begin and may the best survive"

With that I walked around her and entered my house. Closing the door with a loud bang. I can't believe that woman. Acting as if what I have done was overly outrageous compared to what she was capable of. If only her family knew the kind of vermin she was, am sure they would treat me like a queen for what I have done.

I acted brave out there but I was scared shitless. But if I could kill my Luna, the so-called heir of the source, then I could kill her too and I will.

I stretched out on my bed and closed my eyes to get some sleep only to flash them open again. The witch was dead but her curse still lives on. And it only got worse. I didn't have to retire for the night to receive those death lashes, I just had to close my eyes for a second.

What kind of living is this?

Nothing is going as I planned but I will make it work out. They just need a little push in the right direction. Yes, the right direction..

With that in mind, I sat on upright on my bed and planned out my next moves.

**Kiara's P.O.V**

I walked away in the shadows I hid in after ease dropping on this interesting banter between Tricia and Felecia. It seems there is trouble in paradise and there is more to Felecia than any of us knew. I think all this nonsense is happening because we let our guard down. We got too comfortable in this vermin infested pack. But we will right all the wrongs soon. Sooner than expected.

I walked to Chaos's backyard where our warriors where still training hard. They have been doing so since our alpha's death. I guess it was their way of mourning. I walked to the portal and sighed when I entered my home realm. The feeling never gets old. I waved and smiled at our people as I made my way towards the palace.

The tension around there was so heavy, you could almost feel it choking you.

The guard posted at the entrance bowed before straightening to open the door. I walked in on my dad and many uncles and aunts arguing heatedly and I didn’t need anyone telling me it was about Chaos. Half of them want the pack and all its inhabitants eradicated irrespective of their gender or age as a sign of retribution whiles the other half want to stick to the plan made originally by Chaos before she died.

Even though that plan now has loopholes as certain revelations came to light on the day of her death but it is been kept under wraps until further notice. Stepping into their midst, I cleared my throat to get their attention. When I had secured it, I dug straight into relaying the information I had just gathered. I noticed the grimace and disgust on some of their faces as soon as Felecia River's name came up. It seems my family knew more than they were letting on and they should know by now that I won’t stop till I have uncovered every dirty secret.

No matter how small or irrelevant. It seems I will be using my long-locked abilities frequently now. More often than I have in ages. All these are necessary because I would not allow my nieces or nephews to be born into a vermin infested pack where members kill without a second thought.

I can't wait for the day of the quarter moon to arrive because the charade of being at peace in that pack is getting tiring. That day is going to leave marks on so many lives in more ways than one. As well as the beginning of a new era for the pack. They just don't know it yet.
