Chapter 51
e the rest of my life in this peace that Lucian and Selene had promised us, but my sister was someone I loved so much.
I had made a lot of sacrifices for her, risking my own life and going as far as betraying my own master. She is the only family I have since my parents died. I couldn’t live in peace knowing she was out there, away from my care, attention, and protection.
After a few minutes, the cart was set. Selene gave me an envelope with letters that I should give to her father. Lucian only shook my hand and told me to trust myself that I would be able to save my sister.
My move to the pack was to be an undercover and find a way to bring her back safe. If I need any help, I should just send them a message. Selene just wants me to know how her father is faringNôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
An hour later, I was already out of the border, and I watched as it closed again while I stood outside and the repelling force kicked me far away.
With the map in my hand, I was able to locate Selene’s pack. A place I had been to for a handful of times since Lucian visited that night.
I don’t know how Selene was able to do it in such a short period of time, but she actually was able to. It has been just three days since I told her about my intentions to go and know how my sister is faring and possibly bring her back home, and she was able to help me find a way to sneak into the pack through a secret passway without drawing the attention of the border guards.
She also made arrangements for who I would be staying with. An old woman from her pack. Selene had sent her a message before my arrival, and luckily she accepted to take me in, but I pleaded that I shouldn’t put her in trouble.”
The pack hadn’t been a peaceful place. It looked calm because no one had the courage to speak up. The woman’s name was Mariam, and the night of my arrival, we spent quality time together, where she told me about everything that had been going on in the pack ever since Selene left.
From the outside, the pack looked peaceful and everyone was in harmony, but there had been changes, especially in how their rulers were treating them. Selene’s father was now a king who ruled with an iron fist, making it easy to condemn to death or put offenders through great torture.
Cases were not treated well, and even the one on the right side gets prosecuted. Everyone in the pack lives in constant fear of their rulers. They are all concerned about the Alpha because he is who they knew, how he was in the past, how well he treated them, and how his members loved and trusted him.
Diana was the evil she dreaded. They all knew she was the one who changed their Alpha into a beast that is kept unhinged. Their prayers had been for the day she will die. They kept hoping and hoping for that day, wishing there would be a savior, but none had come.
According to her, they only heard rumors that Selene was still alive and was the gift from the moon goddess to save them from their sufferings, but most didn’t believe she was alive since it was confirmed that she was dead after getting banished.
Another rumor was that Selene was alive and had refused to help. This was the truth in the story, and Miriam was just asking me why. I didn’t know what to tell her. I just told her she would come when the right time arrived.
I slept well that night and woke up in the afternoon of the next day.
“What do you plan to do? How do you intend to reach out to your sister? You can’t just barge into the royal pack house.” She”
said to me and I sighed. She was even the one I was about to ask if she had any suggestion how I could get into that place.
My plan was to get work in there. I don’t mind if it was mining or being a cleaner. Just anything that would take me into that place.
My mask is good enough to hide my identity from Diana, who knows me well. I should really be conscious of my surroundings because I am really among those she is desperate to kill at this point.
“I don’t know how I will get in there. I’m thinking of securing any work, but I’m not sure there is any vacancy now.” I breathed, anxiously waiting for what she had to say.
“Even if there is any vacancy, you can’t secure any because your background will be checked, and it’s highly suspicious. Not only will you fail to get a job, you will also be picked up and killed. I myself will be put to death for taking you in. You have to become familiar. Live a normal life for three to four months, entering a school, making friends, and, you know, bedding in properly.” She said it with a shrug, and I couldn’t hold back my grunt of frustration.
“I really don’t have a long time to spend. My sister might be going through a lot, and”
“Safety matters. If you die, no one will save your sister, so just take your time and do everything properly so it won’t all be in vain.” She cut in, and I reluctantly nChapter 51

odded. I looked back at the castle one last time as the cart got ready to take me out to the border. I knew this might be my last moment in this place. I have so much resilience in my heart that I must bring my sister back here safe and sound, even if it means dying on her behalf.
My journey to the Wolf Pack was one I had put into thought and consideration, weighing the consequences and risks. 1. could actually stay back and liv
“Pick a cloth from the rack, you are following me to the market. I will introduce you as an orphan from the neighborhood pack. I had spoken with the CEO there, and they have forged a fake passport for you. Your identity is sure now, so let’s just live normal for some time before you apply for any work in the palace. You don’t want to be on the list of investigations led by Diana, do you?”
“No!” I snapped, a short gasp of fright escaping my lips as I thought about how deadly that would be.
F u c k! And the moment she finds out who I am, It will be the worst end for me, and my death won’t be a funny one.
I dressed up and followed her to the market, where we bought some cooking items. She even bought some clothes for me.
Her friends in the market would constantly ask who the handsome man with her was, and she would tell them I was an orphan from another pack, and my new name was George.
As we were returning, there was sudden chaos along the road, with people running wildly and hiding. She grabbed my hands immediately before I could even see exactly what was going and we both ducked beside a car.
“What is….”
“Shh,” she hushed me.
“I don’t understand. Who and why is everyone running?” I asked stubbornly.
“Diana… she visited the market 1 guess and is returning home. No one will want her to see them. She picks up on anyone, and the end might really be death because she can make up any reason to have your head cut off. I don’t know why she is this evil to us. Like, how could a fellow werewolf like her who came from even a lower pack come into power and choose it upon herself to make out life hell?” Miriam lamented, her voice deep in anguish.
I exhaled heavily, looking down to the ground in sadness at hearing her call Diana a werewolf. She has no idea that they were living under the rule of a demon. If she knows, it wouldn’t be a shock to her to see how they are being treated. She will realize this was always the interim of the demons.
It is so sad that the suffering or pain they are going through now is nothing compared to what would befall them in the future if Diana succeeded in killing Selene.
That is when Diana will realize there is no one to stop her. This whole pack will be filled with demons, and the whole werewolf will be turned into s l a v e s. Even neighboring packs aren’t safe either.
It all later died down, so we stepped out and rushed home. I just felt more anger towards Diana, and the desire to see her but c h e r e d to death just increased more in my heart.
If she can do all this wickedness without remorse to these people, I wonder how my sister is faring. Is she still alive? Is she sane? Or has this evil Diana possessed her entire being just as she must have done to Selene’s father to make him a devil to his own people, whom he was supposed to protect and love?
I can’t really wait to get into that castle. I will make sure I make the path very clear for Selene to come in and destroy that woman, Diana. She really needed to be crushed as soon as possible before she did more harm.
It was evening when we came back from the market, so we just arranged dinner and slept. The next day was when I would do my registration for training school, just like every other grown man in the pack. It was one of my ways to blend in and look with little or no suspicion.
I was going to be one of the students, get registered, and act like a normal citizen.
This was what Mariam suggested and I had no problem with it. To me, it was a good idea, but neither I nor she thought of my mask while making this suggestion.
I was bound to sweat during the tasks, but with the mask, I won’t be able to, since it isn’t my real skin.
We didn’t think of that, and that was where my first problem started.
