Lucy's point of view

"I want you out of our pack forever," Bianca declared, a sly smile playing on her lips.

I raised a questioning brow, my eyes narrowing. A part of me knew exactly what she meant, but another part hoped that it wasn't as I thought "What do you mean by that?" I asked with uncertainty in my voice. I was begging within me, praying to the goddess not to let it happen, it should not be as I am thinking.

"I mean exactly as you've heard," I replied confidently. "Tonight, I want you gone from this pack, far away from here, and in return, I'll spare your elderly grandma."

I blinked rapidly, clearly taken aback. There, she said it, it was even worse than I expected, away from the pack? "Wh-where would I go?" I stammered.

Her smirk grew wider. "I don't care where you go, just make sure it's far from here."

I continued to stare at the grass, lost in thought. Far from here? I thought of the rumors I have heard about the world outside the pack, and how ruthless other packs are when they come across a foreign werewolf and one that is as weak as me. I thought of the brutality of the Rogues, fear gripped my heart, choking all hope from me.

I noticed Bianca impatiently tapping her foot in annoyance. But I ignored her, my grandma would be so worried, how would she survive without me, I thought "Well, what are you still waiting for?!" She snapped.

I flinched in fright, my voice trembling as I spoke. "C-can... can I see my grandma before I go?"

"No," she replied coldly, pointing towards the forest across the stream. "I want you to leave right now." Her words drowned all hope I had left.

I turned toward the direction she pointed, my legs trembling. "Promise me you will keep your word," I said to myself, my voice quivering. She glared at me. "You should be begging me that I don't change my mind and kill you both," she growled in her wolf's voice, making me tremble in fear, I quickly made my way across the stream and into the forest without looking back.

As I left, I could hear Bianca's voice faintly "No wonder Leo chose me as his mate. Lucy is truly a weakling. She wouldn't have been fit to be the Luna. Leo deserves better."

Her words pierced into my heart, making it hurt more, with tears I walked through the forest, life is cruel to me because I was born weak, I lamented in my heart, I stopped walking and held my chest crying loudly.

The growl I heard behind me made me stop crying, I stood stiffened, afraid to see who was behind me, the growl of the werewolf was getting louder and the footsteps were closer, I swallowed in fright, turning my head slowly to see who was behind me, it was Pinky in her wolf form, her eyes filled to kill, I should have known that Bianca would never have let me live.

I took staggering steps away from Pinky, my breath getting heavier "I am leaving as she said, can't you spare me?" I begged

She brought out her sharp claws and saliva dropped down from her mouth in anticipation. I didn't need her to reply, her attitude gave me the answer, I didn't need to be told to run, I quickly began running as fast as I could but my little feet and strength could not match that of a beta.

In no time, she caught up with me, her claws gripping my hip, digging her nails, she drew me off the ground and I fell hitting my body hard on the ground, I could hear my breathing going faint "s...save..me...some.. Someone help me"

I said like a whisper as Pinky hovered around me like a predator, she raised her claws to tear me apart, I shut my eyes waiting for death, an enormous werewolf appeared from nowhere coming to my rescue, my eyes flew open, and it began fighting with Pinky, I tried to move but couldn't, everything was slowly getting blurry, I mouthed out a Thank you to the moon goddess before passing out.

*Bianca's point of view*

I and Rosella made our way back to Leo, who was pacing restlessly in his room.

"What's troubling you? Why are you so agitated?" I approached him, placing my hand on his chest for reassurance.

"She almost exposed us tonight, that b***h," he seethed.

I smiled, trying to calm his nerves. "I highly doubt she'll try that again." Leo's frown gradually transformed into a mix of guilt and remorse.

I couldn't let him dwell on what he had done. After all, I hadn't rejected my mate for nothing. "We're both in the same predicament. I had no idea the mate you claimed to reject was Lucy. She's incredibly weak.

Accepting her as your mate would have made you a laughingstock. Thank the moon goddess you chose me. We're both strong, and we'll earn the respect of the pack," I whispered seductively into his ear. "And your father, too."

He gripped my waist, and I flashed a seductive smile. "You're right. She deserves everything she gets. She shouldn't have been born as such a weak omega."

"Enough about her," I purred, leaning in closer. "Why don't we find something else to occupy our minds and forget about our mates?" I kissed him passionately, and he responded eagerly, lifting me as I wrapped my legs around his waist.

I gazed at Leonard's peaceful sleeping face. "You are mine," I whispered as I planted a gentle kiss on his cheek. Afterward, I quietly got up from the bed and started dressing. Leaving his bedroom, I found Rosella waiting for me.

"Bianca," Rosella whispered my name.

I walked over to her. "What is it?"

"Pinky hasn't returned," Rosella said, her worry evident. "And the Alpha mentioned that he sensed something wrong with one of the pack members."

"If Lucy is dead, then why hasn't Pinky returned?" I furrowed my brow.

"Could it be that Lucy somehow hurt Pinky?" Rosella ventured cautiously, fear in her eyes.

I scoffed in disbelief. "Are you kidding me? Lucy is a wolf-less omega, and Pinky is a strong beta. Who do you think would win if they fought?"

"Yes, you're right," Rosella conceded. "We've seen Lucy's lack of strength. She couldn't have harmed Pinky in any way. Maybe Pinky was just distracted by those handsome werewolves."

I rolled my eyes at her theory. "I still want you to check it out. If the Alpha sensed something wrong, he'll likely send others to investigate as well. Make sure you find out what happened before they do." Rosella nodded and hurried away.

I bit my lip, waiting for that distinct feeling. When a werewolf from a pack died, the entire pack felt it, especially those who could shift into their wolf form. They would sense the loss through their mind link. However, for a wolf-less omega like Lucy, it was hardly noticeable unless you paid close attention.

After what felt like an eternity, I finally sensed it. But this time, it felt different than I had imagined. I waited a bit longer for Rosella to return, almost heading back to Leo's room when she finally came back.

She was panting heavily, her face drained of color, making her look as if she had seen a ghost.

I chuckled nervously, trying to break the tension. "What's with the expression? Have we been hit by some catastrophe?"

"Yes," Rosella replied, her voice trembling.

My smile faded. "What happened?"

Rosella swallowed hard. "Pinky is dead."

What!
