Reborn; The Luna's Revenge

Chapter 4; Hidden Agendas

***Isabelle/Yvonne***

My eyes grew wide as Zaden said we ruled over the BlackLake pack. BlackLake pack has been our rival pack ever since the war between WhiteFang and BlackLake several years ago. This war was organised by our ancestors due to greed and wanting the Moonstone for themselves, it eventually resulted in division of the Moonstone into two equal halves which were given each to the White Fang pack and the Black Lake pack, and we have remained rivals ever since. If I wanted to seek revenge for my death, now it won't be easy as I'm not supposed to have anything to do with a rival pack.

I followed Zaden to a door not too far from ours. It had the letters ‘LUKE’ inscribed on it. Zaden pushed the door open and we entered.

“Mommy! Mommy!” A cute little boy with dark brown hair rushed towards me, catching me off guard. He wrapped his tiny arms around my legs. I stood transfixed, not knowing what to do. I've never carried a child before.

“Mommy, you were gone for so long, daddy said you were sick.” Luke said, scrunching his face up in a cute frown which I found so adorable.

“Mommy, I drew a picture of you while you were away. Hope you like it?” He said shyly, holding up a paper with colorful scribbles on it, which I bent down and collected from him.

As I stared into Luke's big brown eyes, guilt panged my heart that his actual mother was dead and he didn't know about it. I am imposing as someone else's wife and mother, and they aren't aware of it. I have to tell them the truth, but I can't. Not when my revenge hasn't been executed.

“Mommy…why are you crying?” Luke said, reaching out to wipe tears that I didn't know were falling out.

“Don't worry, big man. Mommy's still reacting to the medications, that's why there are tears in her eyes. Now we do not want to stress her, why don't you go back to sleep” Zaden vouched in for me. Luke nodded, his face full of concern as he climbed back in bed.

“Why were you crying?” Zaden asked as we left the room.

“No reason. I…I don't know why I started crying” I lied. Zaden didn't appear convinced but he let it be.

“Your highness.”A servant came into the room, bowing at me. “Alpha Richard and Luna Celeste of the RavenClaw pack are here to see you.”

Oh my days. Those are Yvonne's parents. What if they see through my act and realise I'm not their daughter?

I followed the servant out of the room to another room, it seemed to be a guest room.

“Oh my! Yvonne darling!” An elderly woman walked up to me, engulfing me in a tight hug. This should be Yvonne's mother, Luna Celeste.

“The Doctors said you couldn't make it! How is this possible?” She asked. I smiled, not knowing what to answer.

“ It does not matter how she is well. What matters is that the plan will still continue.” An elderly man came up behind her. I didn't need a sage to know that was Alpha Richard, Yvonne's father.

What does he mean by a plan?

“What plan?” I asked carefully.

“ The plan against Alpha Zaden. Have you forgotten? You still have to seduce him into claiming you as his mate.” Luna Celeste said.

“What? Seduce him?” I asked confusedly.

They stared at me suspiciously.

“Yvonne, are you okay? You seem..off.” Luna Celeste said.

Oh no! They are suspecting me already.

“Oh! The plan!” I chuckled nervously. “Sorry, I'm still processing things. I haven't had enough rest since I came back from the hospital.” I lied. They seemed to believe my statement.

“Okay then.” Alpha Richard said, smiling mischievously. “Once Zaden claims you as his mate, you'll automatically own everything he owns. Then we kill him, and all of BlackLake pack becomes ours, including the Moonstone.” Alpha Richard said.

What?

They wanted to kill overthrow Zaden and claim the throne? I have a hard time processing all of this. I needed to get away from these two.

“Um..excuse me, I need to get some air. My eyes are beginning to turn from standing too long.” I lied, excusing myself from the duo.

Poor Zaden probably doesn't know what his mate has been up to. I didn't know whether to reveal to him that his in-laws are planning against him.

I went back to the room and found Zaden glaring fixedly at his phone. He looked so handsome as he read something on his phone screen. His other hand was clenched tightly and it seemed as this he wanted to kill someone.

“Is everything alright?” I asked.

“Yes.” Zaden answered curtly, putting his phone away. He is obviously hiding something. In fact, everyone in this family seemed to have a secret or two that they're hiding from eachother, but I'm not going to pry. The last thing I want is them finding out that I'm not Yvonne. Or worse, them knowing that I'm from their rival pack.

A knock on the door got my attention.

“Come in.” Zaden said stiffly. A tall muscular male came in, holding a letter.

“Yvonne, this is Kyle, my Beta and second in command.” Zaden said to me. Kyle stared at him confusedly.

“Yvonne has temporal memory loss from the brain tumor, so she has a hard time remembering a few faces.” Zaden explained. “Why did you come?”

“There is a letter for you. It was sent for the White Fang pack.”

My ears perked up at the mention of my pack. What are they doing sending letters to a rival pack?

Zaden also looked interested, as he immediately sat up straight.

“What does it say?” Zaden asked.

“It is a wedding invitation.”
