134, - Black Coin LUCY.

"I’m sure my mate, my fated mate, can mentor your pup until he comes of age and becomes an Alpha.In the meantime, we can take over your pack."

"You’re not going to do that! You’re bluffing! Adan had never taken over a pack!"

"Oh, we don’t want to, but there’s always a first time, and besides, you’re on the top of my list for my most hated shifter.So again, Ethan, about the Omega Feast.Are we clear?"

He was suppressing a growl as his hands coiled into fists.

I rolled my eyes and aimed for the man beside him.

Soon he was growling and begging for the pain to stop.I knew I was doing what Father did to Viktor, and I should feel guilty, but I was trying to get my point across.

"Make it stop!"

The man was on his knees, clutching his head, and Ethan was still not giving in.

"What a shame, Ethan! The Omega Feast is far more important than this man who was loyal to you!"

I shouted at him as red blazed in my eyes.I was ready to invade his head, and he must have realized that.

"Fine! No more Omega Feast! Let us go home now!" He bellowed.

I stopped the pain I gave his warrior and let the fire out before I pointed to one of the cars.

"Leave! And if anyone asks you if Adan was lying about his Luna, tell them what you know!"

We watched as they rushed out and drove away without another word.

Once they were gone, it was only then that my breathing slowed down.

Adan extinguished the fire that engulfed Ethan's car and was now left smoking.

"Are you okay?" He asked afterward as he positioned himself in front of me, his hands cupping my face.

"Don’t stress out, please..."

"I'm not stressed out; I was pissed off.What’s so important about the Omega feast that he let his man wallow in pain?"

I was pissed off with myself too, as I felt guilty for inflicting pain.I should have directed it to Ethan.

"Relax.It’s done, and I’m sure he got the message.Let’s go home."

I nodded and leaned against Adan’s arm as he led me back to the car, where Collin was waiting.

"You took me by surprise, Luna.I hope the Alpha understands that if you both have a disagreement, I will always take your side." Collin stated.

Adan chuckled as he pecked the crown of my head.

"I’m getting used to my people favoring Lucy over me now.I honestly don’t mind." I chuckled softly as I wrapped my arms around Adan's body.

"Don’t worry, Beta.I have no plans to torture you because I adore your mate.But if you make Laira cry, in a very bad way...you should know that I don’t give second chances."

"Ouch!" He feigned hurt as he clutched his heart before he chuckled.

"That part, I’m sure I can pass.I have no plans to hurt Laira.Not in this lifetime, and not in the next either."

LATER THAT NIGHT.

PATREA.

It was time to go and start a new life with Althea.

A part of me was excited about the many possibilities awaiting us.

We initially wanted to seek refuge with the coven that gave shelter to Althea a few weeks ago, but we decided it might be best if we went on our adventure on our own.

My granddaughter wanted to experience a normal teenager’s life of going to school and meeting new friends, and I wanted to give her that.

Adan was generous enough to use his influence to find us a suitable home in human territory 300 km from his.

It would take less than four hours to drive to see Lucy if we wanted to.

He also used his influence to secure me a job as a librarian at one of the academic libraries in that area.

With a little magic here and there, I was able to come up with IDs and credentials for me and Althea, making our transition easier.

Patrea and Althea Foster.

Sisters.

We had one more sister, the one in between us.

Her name? Lucija Valerie Foster, and soon to be the Luna of the Mystic Pack.

Althea and I wanted to start a new life, but after too much contemplation and discussion, we didn’t want to erase a part of ourselves that included Lucy, so we are taking her last name with us, which she was more than willing to share with us.

I closed the door to Althea’s room and walked toward mine.

We were ready to leave, and I just needed to pick up my coat and my handbag.

The moment I entered my room, the atmosphere changed.I knew someone must have been here, and I meant to say a supernatural being other than shifters.I took in a deep breath as I remained rooted by the door.

My eyes scanned the bedroom.

A part of me knew who had been here, and to be honest, I had no idea what to feel right now.

"Lucius?" I called out, but after a few seconds, I was still met with silence.

I walked slowly and went to the bathroom to check.
