THE CURSED LUNA
Chapter 12

Adrian's POV

I walked back to my quarters thinking profusely.

'How on earth did she survive? What must have happened?' My thoughts were endless. I couldn't stop wondering, trying to connect the dots, to solve the puzzle, to know exactly what was going on in particular

Sheelah has already told me that to do that fateful evening. We already had it planned out in such a way that no one will ever trace the death to us. I had a hole dug out on one hidden side of the woods, where no one will ever notice, where all evidence will be lost, where no one will notice how and when it happened. We planned it in such a way that it'd seem as though she got lost or most probably she ran away. It was all mapped out and what was left was to swing into action. Of course I heard footsteps which made me retreat but the job was over ninety nine point nine percent done. She was already gasping for breath when I left her to die in her pool of blood.

I could hear one of the men that fateful day running after me, asking me to stop but I was sure he didn't see me.

I rushed back to the house to inform Sheelah of my ordeal. She was quite disappointed and felt like Alpha Christian must have sent people to intercept the plan. On second thought, he's been away for a meeting. Series of thoughts ran through our minds. We looked at each other in a way that depicted uneasiness.

"I just hope and pray that Alpha Christian was not a part of that interception or else, we're gone!" Sheelah said, looking perturbed and confused.

"That's what I pray too. C'mon go and wash your hands, I can see bloodstains, aren't you smart enough to know what?" she said pointing out. I dashed out to the bathroom to wash up and change into new clothes.

"Thank goodness you're smart for once. Christian will be here in a few more minutes" she said, giving me a stern look.

Alpha Christian came in almost after we finished talking about him. He walked in very tired and famished.

Sheelah went to greet him, taking his suitcase from him

"Welcome darling, how did your day go?" She asked him, stretching out her hand to take the suitcase. He shoved her off immediately. My heart sank

"Get away from me! Where's Amira?" He asked, looking around. I heaved a sigh almost audible enough to be heard.

"She stepped out for not quite long. I was thinking you saw her when you were coming in" I replied, trying to hide my mood and kept a straight face.

"Why did you allow her to go out this late? Have you no idea how dangerous it could be for her?" He said, looking around the house, asking no one in particular. His mood depicted that of anger and worry.

"Once she gets back, make sure she sees me" he said, walking out on us. I heaved another sigh of relief,

"It's settled" Sheelah said with a smirk

At least, if I couldn't have my ways with Amira, I could have my ways with Sheelah. She's always been treating me as though, I was less of a man. This was my chance to prove her working and show her what masculinity really felt like. I waited till she was alone in the room that fateful evening. I walked in without knocking

"Hey dear" I said without remorse, knowing fully well that she'd at my mercy and she was left with no other choice than to dance to my tune. She is my prey and I'm the predator.

"Have you no manners? Have you lost your mind? Why would you come into my room without notice. Not just that, you even refused to knock the door. Who does that?"

I watched her say all she has to say. I didn't realize how beautiful and endowews she was until now.

"Sheelah, I hope you know you owe me something?" I asked, licking my lips as I used my eyes to undress her

"Are you crazy? And moreso, why on earth are you looking at me in such manner? You seem to forget where you kept your senses yeah?" She said, looking at me in the eyes.

"Well, I shouldn't be telling you this by now. I suppose you're a smart girl and mind you, I know just what is right so you can't tell me when to knock or when to come in"

This time around, she looked at me with disgust. It was though she already had a clue of what I'm talking about. She moved in a way that showed that she wasn't comfortable. I simply enjoyed my time, looking freely at these wonderful gifts nature has decided to bless me with

"And what's that supposed to mean? Weren't you paid? Myself and Vivienne paid you in full and I don't think that's enough reason for you to barge into my room unnoticed"

If there's anything I admire in Sheelah, it was her ability to remain bold even in the face of death. I watched her in awe how someone could be so cruel to plot the death of a person and yet act like nothing happened. It was a big surprise for

me.

"You should know that it's a thing of the past. Old thighs are passed away. Now that she's been found and discovered alive, it's a big problem. She saw only my face and as a matter of fact, sooner or later, my alpha will get the news and it's a very serious issue because I can't go down alone. I hope you understand that too.

I chose my words carefully, which in return made her think profusely. The whole thing became very clear to her now. She bit her lower lip which in real sense, turned me on the more.

"You need to take your leave Adrian" she said, almost screaming. In order to avoid suspicion, I had to leave immediately
