Chapter 38 – Letting Her Go

“If you love something so much, let it go. If it comes back, it was meant to be; if it doesn’t, it never was.” – Albert

After a single taste of darkness, it’s hard to come back from it. Evidence shows in my brunette puppet as she continued to make terrible decisions, aligning with her eventual fate. Oh, she’s been good for me it pays to sell your soul to the devil.

But, as it comes with tools, once they outlived their purpose, they become disposable.

I got what I wanted. My Little Moon touched darkness. Through her stubborn resistance and wavering resolve, she finally cracked. Watching her mercilessly slaughter that pathetic guard was a thing of beauty. Every stab, every slice, and every scream from that poor man made a masterpiece of gore!

And she didn’t feel a damn thing. That was the goal! And now, that same darkness rumbles within her, waiting for its next release. The sweet scent from afar is so alluring, and the best part is, she doesn’t even know it! That’s what makes it fun–the unknown!

Now, it’s time to get rid of this annoying cur. It’s a shame her injuries sustained from the Beta Female had to heal. She was a sight for sore eyes! Her useless mate naps as she sits at the foot of her bed, tapping her feet impatiently. The glare she possesses is enough to kill, but there is a catch.

I’m the avatar. She isn’t. No matter how powerful she makes herself seem, she is but a newborn pup at the palm of my hand.

“Your plans aren’t working!” Odessa accused. I rolled my eyes. “We’ve pushed those two closer together! Neron protected the bitch, and he did nothing when I said she hurt me! How come I can’t turn him as easily as I did everyone else? One touch from me and they were mine! But, whenever I touched him, it didn’t work!”

Such a fool. “I told you that your impatience will lead to nothing but trouble, pet. But alas, when desperation sets in, you make mistakes. Give up on the Alpha; he’s far too gone for you to reclaim his heart.”

“No!” She shot up from her bed, fists shaking. “I won’t give up on him! There has to be another way to make him love me again!” As if the reality sets in, her face deflates to pitifulness. “It’s becoming harder to get rid of Kiya. No matter what she does, Neron is drawn into her like a moth to a flame.”

Odessa’s insipid whining is getting on my last nerve. Pepi slithers around my arm and across my collarbone, resting his small cute head on my shoulder. “Your plans may have fallen through, but mine haven’t.”

She arches an eyebrow in confusion. “What do you mean?”

“I got what I wanted. It’s only a matter of time before my Little Moon falls completely. Haven’t you realized that your plans to win the Alpha were failures from the beginning? Did you think you held more weight than his destined mate? I never intended on helping you.”

Her face was like watching a pleasant television show. So many emotions morphed and contorted her face before settling on disbelief. Stammers left her mouth as her feeble mind failed to comprehend that she was merely a chess piece in my game. “No…”
