CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO

  Bella wanted to cry, but her tear glands seemed not to be functioning. Her fever was still high and when she thought of the plan Alpha D'argan had for her, her heart fell.

  All along, she had thought the only way for the spell to be reversed was for him to kill her. When the wizard said Alpha D'argan could not drink her blood, she was stunned, yet relieved that she was going to get killed, at least not yet.

  Her fever had subsided. After the order Alpha D'argan gave, she was taken into her bedroom and in less than no time, doctors flooded in with terrified looks on their faces,ready to have her checked up and cured. Convincing them that she was going to be fine was a hard thing to do and they ended up sedating her and when she woke up that night, her fever was gone.

  Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on her room door and she smiled because she knew exactly who it was. Just one person in that entire pack knocked before getting into her bedroom and that person was no other than Luna Elvira.

  "Come in." Bella answered from the bed and immediately, the door opened and just the person she was expecting to see, walked into the bedroom, closing the door behind her.

  "Hello princess." She greeted as she sauntered over to the bed and sat beside Bella. "How is your fever?"

  "It's gone now. I feel strong." Bella reported with a tired smile.

  "We have to get you outta here tonight. I cannot let them ride on with their plans. The moment Alpha D'argan knows you are strong again, he will summon that wizard to come and ride on with what they were supposed to do. I don't want that curse on him to be broken."

  Bella could feel the terror in her words. The woman indeed wanted her husband dead.

  "How am I going to get out of here? This place is heavily guarded. We won't make it out of this castle without someone seeing us." Bella assumed.

  "I know, but there's a reason why I'm the Luna of this pack. I have a lot of influence around here too. Just put on some warm clothes and get yourself ready, I'll be here by midnight to take you."

  "I'm curious to know how you are going to pull this through." Bella told her and she bit her lips.

  "Sex, alcohol, a lot of sleeping pills and lies. I don't have time to tell you how I'm going to use these vices to get what I want, but I can assure you that they will work, they always do. So, get yourself ready. Do you understand?"

  "Yes, I do."

  "Good girl." She said as she got on her feet and exited the bedroom.

  Bella immediately jumped from the bed and skipped over to the closet where she stripped out of the night gown she had on and began looking for a suitable trouser to wear.

  If she was going to break out of the greatest tyrant's castle, then she needed to be properly dressed up for it.

  ***********************************************

  "You. Old. Whore!" Alpha D'argan hissed between his teeth as he struck in and out of Luna Elvira like the animal he was.

  When he was done, he pushed her away and got down from the bed and picked up the bottle of whiskey from the night stand, drinking it straight from the bottle despite the fact that the whiskey was quite harsh. His tongue and throat were already scarred from the burns of the whiskey over the years.

  A wicked smirk formed at the side of Luna Elvira's lips as she descended from the bed and disappeared into the bedroom to clean up herself.

  Sex, alcohol, a lot of sleeping pills and lies.

  The first three had already been executed.

  The whiskey he just drank had been drugged and it was just a matter of time before the effects of the pills kicked in. She had served the Beta of the pack the same whiskey when he came to report some important news to Alpha D'argan.

  With the Alpha and Beta fast asleep, the only person the guards took order from, would be Luna.

  When she was done cleaning herself, she walked out of the bathroom and was not surprised at all to see Alpha D'argan sleeping naked on the bed.

  She scoffed in mockery as she began wearing her clothes. Her mission had been accomplished. All she needed to do was give command to the guards and sneak Bella out of the castle.

  ***********************************************

  "Are you sure this is safe?" Bella whispered in a worried tone as Luna Elvira pulled her along the staircase.

  "Yes, I have ordered for the guards to retire for the night, there's no one around." She whispered back to Bella as they both walked across the vast living room and out of it.

  Once outside, Bella was surprised to see that the entire place was deserted. There was not a single soul there apart from them. Luna Elvira led her out of the castle premises and into the woods.

  Bella could still not believe what was happening, the escape had been way easier than she thought.

  As they walked further into the woods, she could faintly feel the connection with her pack and that meant they were close to the boundary, that's when it struck her.

  Luna Elvira would not be able to penetrate the boundary because of the spell and Bella knew that if Luna Elvira returned to the castle, Alpha D'argan would have her killed the moment he found out that she freed his hostage. She stopped on her tracks and turned to face Luna Elvira.

  "What about you? What happens to you?" She asked worriedly. "That tyrant will have you killed the moment he finds out you did this."

  "Then that will be good. At least I'll die and go to a place where I can rest." Luna Elvira asserted with a painful smile.

  Bella's heart sank in her stomach and the woman's words tugged her heart.

  "But…"

  "Bella, don't you worry about me. We are at the boundary now." She said, looking at the running stream that separated the two packs. All Bella needed to do was jump across the running stream to the other side and she would be in the Wall Street Pack.

  "Go now!" Luna Elvira ordered. "I can sense someone coming, go!" She ordered once more and immediately, Bella did the big jump across the stream. She quickly picked herself from the ground and a gentle sob escaped her lips when she saw a guard seize Luna Elvira and drag her away.

  "Thank you." She whispered in tears as she took on her heels.

  The night was dark and the eerie sound of birds chirping and owl hooting made her stomach clench in fear. The violent wind whipped her naked arms, causing her to wrap them over her chest, cursing herself for forgetting to wear a sweater. Tears kept spilling down her cheeks uncontrollably as she walked on, shivering and praying to the moon goddess to let anything happen to her. Her past experiences in the woods have not been good, the last thing she wanted was to be attacked by rogues. She was totally defenseless in her pregnant state.

  "Bella?" She heard someone call from behind and she froze on her spot. It was a familiar masculine voice, but it belonged to neither Achilles nor Alex. She calmly turned around to look who it was and a gentle sob escaped her lips when she saw Tony standing before her with three werewolves behind him.

  "Tony.." she called in tears as she rushed over to him and crashed into his arms.

  Tiny instantly swept her off her feet and carried her bridal style.

  "It's okay. You are safe now."
