“You haven’t gotten the memo,” Beta Malachite said in a matter-of-fact tone.
“Memo?”
"Willow’s birthright includes her right to claim the De Luca Empire, which includes our pack. Meaning, she will officially be the new Beta of Roberto’s pack until he’s ready to step down. At which point she will ascend to Alpha,” Beta Malachite announced.
“And you’re going to be Beta?” She sounded flabbergasted by the idea. “You? I’m sure you despise her.”
“I never said I hated her,” Beta Malachite casually stated and even shrugged. " I admire her determination to prove the world wrong, and frankly, she did just that. It also only makes sense for me to Beta our pack. We have a few rebellious apples. Nasir is one of them who’d love to cause pack drama. You should know. You fuck him whenever you’re bored of fighting the idea of getting me back.”
Felicia literally gawked at him, and I had to cover my mouth to muffle the gasp that left me.
Beta Malachite is a fucking beast!
"I love how this pack thinks I don’t know shit,” Beta Malachite dryly stated as if this were such a tiring conversation to have. “I don’t say shit. I do my duty as Beta with respect to Alpha Roberto and his future heir, and the lot of you dare to try to betray me because some woman who can’t even reveal her fucking face bribes you with power, fortune, and a pack of freedom.”
He began to laugh and shook his head.
“If you knew who that woman was, you’d run for the fucking hills.”
“You know who the Vile Queen is?” she whispered.
"You think the royals don’t know? That Queen Elphaba and Roberto himself don’t know shit? You’re trying to enter a war that’s been brewing for centuries. A battle of envy that’s simply being passed to the next generation. My father dealt with this shit, and now it’s my turn to witness the rise and fall of two organizations of power.”
He purposely took one more step forward and leaned in close which made Felicia freeze in place.
"I know who you’re fucking dealing with, Felicia, and let me warn you a final time. You are nothing but a useless puppet to her. A toy that she’s ready to throw into a pit of flames if it keeps her on the right track for her own revenge,” he whispered far too delicately. “If you still want to ignore that and proceed to be blinded by your own values, don’t come to me when you’re trying to escape your mistakes, for I won’t help you.”
“So you’re abandoning me.”
“I’m valuing my life and commitment to being a Beta for the De Luca Pack, which will soon be integrated and joined with the wolves of Alundra Phoenix.”
Felicia’s eyes further widened with the revelation.
“Roberto’s combining packs?”
"Why wouldn’t he?” Beta Malachite tossed back. "Elphaba is his wife.”
“They’re divorced!”
“Said who? The Vile Queen? Everyone else who doesn’t know shit about what’s truly going on behind the scenes? You guys are such gullible fools.” He actually laughed. "Everything that has happened in the last twenty-five years was in favor of Willow De Luca’s reign. The lies, deceit, and manipulation of the public were to make Willow’s life a living hell. Her struggles and need to switch genders were all a part of the master plan, and you still can’t see the connecting dots?”
Felicia held her tongue as she clearly swallowed a lump in her throat.
"Willow meets the Forbidden Pack, four endangered wolves who are from four of the most powerful shifter families in the underground. Her connection with Dimitris alone, a fucking pureblood and future Coven leader, is making people scramble in actual fear of them making a damn heir. Now add in Milo Raymond, who’s actually one of the future kings of one of the four most powerful fae kingdoms in Faerie and has plenty of assets in Dubai. Then you have Onyx, who is surprisingly related to Loki, who’s the last reaper wolf in this world and is part of the Yang pack, which means Onyx is a part of the Yin pack, another duo pack that runs all of Japan, China, and Korea. Then there’s Viktor, who’s just risen to becoming a Master and taken Master L’s place on the High Council, and you obviously can’t forget his loyalty to the Russian packs his father still owns and took care of. Then we have that new guy. The fashion designer.”
“He’s on the Vile Queen’s side!” Felicia interrupted.
“He’s mated to Saint Alexander, yet another powerful person who has control of the Vatican and every Catholic organization across the world. It’s crazy since he’s a Dark Lord, but the chaos ignited on Christmas gives you a glimpse of the power he has. Now match that with the son of Lucifer.”
“H-Hold on. Son of Lucifer?!” Felicia gasped.
"You love to do risky things but don’t do your fucking research,” Beta Malachite mocked and dismissed her with a wave of his hand. “Now let’s move on to the newest mate on the block to be bonded to Willow De Luca, all thanks to this Vile Queen you’re obsessed with.”
“S-She has nothing to do with it.”
“That’s not what’s being spread through the grapevine,” he countered. “Like you even listen to such shit.”
“I do my research!” she snapped. “I know that fae princess is Aurelia’s twin sister.”
