Chapter 70: SEVENTY


    The Alpha’s passing


    ***TWO WEEKS LATER***


    “Psst… hey did you hear the rumors circting round?”


    “They aren’t rumors Kain, sadly they are true. The messenger even delivered the news round the


    territories same time it happened.”


    “But howe?”


    “No one knows, maybe the moon goddess’s protection has left that pack or something, so much


    Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    bad luck going on over there.”


    “I feel so sorry for them though, the moonlighters, losing their future queen first and then losing


    their alpha about a monthter. It must be devastating for the leadership.”


    “Let’s just hope that they appoint a new alpha on time before those rogues show their ugly face.”


    “They already have one appointed, I heard the beta is taking over since thete alpha bears no


    offspring.”


    “The beta? Well, that’s good then, just hope that he’ll be able to take up the responsibility. The


    work of an alpha is not an easy job, quite different from what people think.”


    “I tell you Dargak. I tell you.”


    **********


    Lucas was seated in the pack’s study room, going through a few records before the door suddenly


    mmed open against the wall and Ava, who was wearing an angry scowl in her face, grudgingly


    stormed into the room to meet him.


    “Ava??? What is the matter?”


    “Where is it?” She growled.


    His gaze held confusion. “Where is what Ava? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”


    “Where is the message you were given about my pack a few days ago?” She’s been hearing the


    gossips amongst the wolf guardstely, and they’ve be too much for her to ignore at this point.


    She didn’t even know why it took so long to confront him about the message, nor why he hid it from


    her, and now she was mad at him for it, but even more mad at herself for all that’s happened.


    Lucas realized then what she was talking about, and why she was angry. She had every right to


    be; hearing about the unexpected death of the person you were betrothed to was not a news that


    anyone would take lightly, especially if you knew in your heart that you neglected him before you died.


    “Ava, please you need to calm down, we can sort this out like…”


    “Like what Lucas? Tell me… LIKE WHAT???” She yelled, rolling her eyes before continuing. “Like


    LOVERS???? Well, I’ll tell you what Lucas, we are NOT lovers, we never were and we never will be,


    do you understand me? Now give me the message.”


    He let out a sigh, and then reached for one of the drawers, opening it and bringing out a small


    scroll with some scribblings of ink on it, he then handed the scroll to Ava.


    She grabbed it from him and wasted no time in reading what was written on it, holding her breath


    and choking back her tears as she did so.


    ******


    The Dawn Pack.


    To the leader of the territory addressed above, it is my greatest regret to inform you of the passing


    of Ray Devlin, alpha of the moonlight pack, after failing at a challenge which sadly imed his life. A


    few weeks ago, Ray’s betrothed Luna, Ava Maynard, was dered missing,st seen at the event of


    the moonlight’s major joining ceremony which many leaders from around the world gathered to witness,


    suspicions were that the emotional disturbance he had due to her absence might have caused this


    unfortunate event to ur.


    Since Devlin did not birth any offspring before his passing, the position of the alpha of the


    moonlight pack will now be taken over by the seeding leader and former Beta, Ethan Cambini of the


    moonlight pack immediately. Let this be known to the leaders of all territories that this unfortunate event


    does not put the moonlight pack at a vulnerable position to be worthy of colonization by any other


    pack leader. The leadership of the moonlight pack will be taken over immediately and anyone found


    guilty of breaking or going against the peace treaty will be punished severely as thew deems fit.


    Signed,


    Alpha Ethan Cambini.

    Ava’s knees dropped to the ground as she re-read the letter, over and over again in her mind, the


    words she read were just so hard to believe. So, so hard.


    “I-I-I don’t understand… he was ok…. He was fine... he waspletely fine when I saw him at the


    ball, what happened? How did this all happen? How did I let this happen?”


    “Ava, all that happened, it was not your fault…” Lucas reached forward to hold her, but her words


    stopped him short.


    “DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH ME!!!!”
