Bride of the Cursed Alpha (Auren and Lucien)

Chapter 123

Chapter 123

Third POV

By the time Sable returned to the Shadowfang pack that night, she had ensured two things. One, Tom would be dead in the next two days, and so her secret would remain intact. Two, Fred wouldn't suspect a thing. He might call her, and she would pick up the phone, but she had already thought about what she would tell him. She would convey her condolences to him, but she wouldn't inform Vivi or others at the pack about Tom's death.

From the witch's shop in the black market, she had bought the potion that would keep her smell intact, and she bought rune explosives. She was going to plant then and the next day, she would prepare its anchor.

A smile came to her lips as she felt that she was tightening the noose around them finally. The pieces were shifting according to her plan.

She didn't waste time and moved like a ghost toward the training arena. It was dead in the night and apart from crickets and an occasional howl of a patrolling wolf, the place was silent. When she reached the training arena, she made her way toward the main ring, her eyes scanning the place. She had studied the place all her life, but over the past two weeks she had memorized the patrols in order to come here unhindered. She had located the weakest wall and the dry fountain beneath it. That fountain was alive once, but because Alpha Lucien had to expand the training arena because more pups joined in for training, he had to cover it up. There was a staircase that led down to the fountain. She went down, finding just enough room to crawl beneath and place the rune.

She reached into the small pouch at her waist. From there she pulled out the explosive ruin she had bought from the witch. It was very expensive and she had to dole out a lot of money for it. As she held the flat obsidian metal disk in her hand, she could feel its magic. The way it hummed softly. All she had to do was to recite the ancient incantation the witch had given her. And the destruction would follow. She wanted chaos, smoke, flames, which would be enough destruction to divert Tarian as she focused on her main task. To kill Auren.

She slid beneath the structure, sweat coverin her forehead. The scent of damn moss and wood permeated the air. As soon as she reached the most vulnerable spot, she placed the metal plate on it. It hummed and stuck to the wall like it was a part of it. She whispered a spell that the witch had taught her and activated the seal.

"Tick. Tick. Tick." She murmured under her breath as her lips curled into a sinister smile. "Just enough for you to come running here, Beta Tarian," she chuckled. "And who knows, you might die?" She brushed her hands.

After looking at it and smirking with satisfaction, she slithered out of that place. As soon as she came out, she stood up and scanned the place. There was no one. Satisfied, she made her way to her quarters. Her time was measured now. Calculated. She had to be somewhere when the explosion rocked Alpha's house. Her next stop was to lure Auren away into a place where she could kill her.

The next day in the morning, Sable couldn't hide her excitement. Vivi asked, "What's up with you, Belle?"

"Oh, nothing. I talked to my boyfriend! That's
