Lucky thought it was normal to sleep in the same bedroom since they are now married and he thought she felt the same but he was wrong. He must have underestimate her vengeful and thought she was okay with him, not until, the silver knife drive into his stomach.
It was pulled out almost immediately before he could stop her, he had grabbed her hand before she could move away and hold his stomach to stop the blood.
“What…?” he had asked but she only glared maliciously at him without feeling remorse.
She has proceeded to walk out of the room after and left him to mourn his pain. Lucky stayed on the floor not able to get up and crawl to his drawer to find an antidote, he had managed to get his hands on a relief medicine after a long struggle in pain and took it down to ease the pain.
He shifted involuntarily as the drug went down and his wolf howled out in agony at the forbidden tool that has pierced it body.
In his state, he was indeed lucky to have heard the angry voices of the people and quickly came out to clear the air before any harm was done to her.
“Do you still have doubt?” he asked her after he has managed the situation.
Maria smirked and pack her hair before going to the bed to lie down, she just wanted to have fun for the night and she wasn’t disappointed.
They are all going to be watching her and every moves she would be taking, they are still very much suspicious of her and would get rid of her at any slight change. Maybe she should have really burn out the whole place just like her Janine had done.
But the, she won’t get her revenge but it would only be partial, she need to make sure that the Dark Shade cease to exist in history.
She waited patiently for Lucky to come onto her whether to attack back for almost killing him or to be like his crazy family, Victor Stan and try to force his way with her but nothing happened.
The door opened and she heard him walking out of the room and closing the door back gently again.
Maria sit up in disbelief at his act and wondered why he didn’t do any of the two things she thought he would. She could remember that was exactly how her sister was treated by the dead Alpha.
She was the one who had set the trap and it seemed to have backfired on her, how could a man not do anything after getting deceived and stabbed?
Suddenly, Maria felt a rush of guilt for harming him, he could have dead if he wasn’t strong enough to withhold it. Although she had withdraw the knife quickly not to stab deep but it was still painful.
She think back on how he has helped her out tonight by lying to everyone that everything was alright and even when he was still in pain.
A rush of dopamine went through her body like a speeding car and she blink her eyes, shaking her head to dismiss the soft feelings. Whether or not he had helped her tonight rather than give her away, he was still a descendant of the Stan family who had kept her generations captive for years.
There was no way she is getting soft on him and thinking of him as an angel. She has once thought of Cleaven to be an angel sent to her from above but he abandoned her over and over again.
Maybe he is different from Cleaven and the Old ass Alpha, maybe she has just hurt an innocent man who had still chosen to help her without hesitation
Unless, she could spare Lucky if he was truly not like his descendants, if he is a good man like he thought and really want to make amendments for what has happened in the past, then she might…
A splitting headache stopped the thought and Maria let out a yelp as she grabbed her head and grunt burying her face onto the bed as the pain persists.
The familiar voice appear in her head and it sounded really angry, she groan as it keep punishing her and begged it to stop.
“Please!” she cried.
“Do not get deceived and lose focus” it warned.
“Our aim is to get revenge for the wrongs they have done to you and every member of our family” it reminded.
“But Lucky wasn’t part of it. He’s innocent, he just want to bring peace…”
“Wrong! Everyone of them must pay for our pain, Remember Maria, you promised me Revenge and Blood”
“If you don’t fulfil your promise, you will pay for it with your blood” it warned and in that instant the ache stopped.
Maria falls to the bed breathing hard and sweating even though the weather was cool, she gulp down letting the word of the red wolf sink in and proceed to get water to drink to calm herself and ease her ache.

Back in her room, Wendy try to make sense of what has just happened. She clearly saw all the burning, fireballs and people dying on the ground with blood filing the whole place.
She can’t help but wonder how it all disappeared in that short time, even if they managed to clean things up, there should still be a trace of something as she was only gone for few minutes.
Or is that also an ability of the Ancient Wolf? If that was it, then she must have really underestimated her opponent.
However, she has no plan to make this die now at all, she was prepared to see things through and find out if she was really crazy for a while or it was all her scheme.
She just need to find proof of her being a danger to the family, once she get her hands on that proof, she won’t have to dirty her hands to get rid of her but the people who hated her will.
Thanks to her will behaved attitude since she has arrived to the Dark shade, she has made friends carefully with lots of people and she has trusted acquaintance too although what happened tonight might have upset them.
“No, I shouldn’t be sitting here and just thinking”
She got up and decided to go check on Alpha Lucky again just to make sure he was safe, before the search for the Ancient witch, she has always stayed late night in the Alpha’s abode to help with cleaning his bedroom and making sure he was comfortable for the night.
Carefully and cautious, she walk out of her room after making sure to doll her face a little just in case he wasn’t asleep and run into him.

Maria tried to get some sleep after the event of the night but finds it hard to be at peace, she keep pushing it away but her mind keep going back to Lucky and she wondered if he had gotten his wound treated.
Since he might not want anyone finding out that he was stabbed, he might try to keep the pain in and just wait for it to heal. Thinking of the pain he might be going through made her mind restless as she roll on her bed.
“It’s probably healed up already” she comforted herself.
When she still couldn’t get enough sleep, she force herself and get something to cover her flexible nightgown before walking out of her room to check on him.
Just as she open the door to her room, her eyes caught someone walking discreetly and she halt the door so it won’t make a creak. The woman dressed up in sleek gown walked right in to the room with a wilful smile and close the door quietly.
Maria didn’t realize she had clenched her hands, she went back into her room and jump into bed angrily.
Seemed like he already had someone to help ease the pain, she was so foolish to think he was not like every other, turns out he was also a scum.
