Chapter 143
Tracy POV
I had met Kael for the first time when my father, Alpha Derek, was called by Alpha Logan for a formal meeting with his allies. The families were also invited and so I had tagged along with my parents and elder brother and sister.
The Nord Pack was the most influential pack and Alpha Logan and Luna Kylie were filthy rich. Not to mention Alpha Ace and Luna Katy, who were their relatives and were royalty. When I saw their castle for the first time, my eyes went starry. So much opulence was something I had never seen. I wished I was surrounded by it, but my fucking luck was rotten. Uncle Beau was a fuck twat who was spending his life in our dungeons. Along with his equally irritating wife, Aunt Luce, they had sabotaged any chance that I had to spend my life in luxury.
Even though Alpha Ace’s son, Aiden, was my age, I couldn’t approach him to entwine him in a romantic relationship because he was a loose cannon. He loved to flirt with girls, but he was clear that he would marry his mate.
So when I went to the Nord Pack, I did everything I could to trap Kael. They weren’t royalty, but they were as rich as the Viking Pack Alpha. At first, Kael was frosty, so I followed him everywhere. Slowly, over the years, he opened up a little. At every opportunity, I tried to suck him like a hoover vacuum or spread my legs. My main mission was to get into his house like his Luna. Can you imagine what it is to be the Luna of the most powerful pack?
My dreams were filled with the opulence of their house. I liked his parents, but I hated his sister Layla, who was constantly filling his ears about me. She was my nemesis. And so I had decided that once I was married to Kael, I was going to throw her out of the house. As for his parents…. well, I would ask them to move to a different house.
Anyway, everything was going superb until the bitch, Astrid, arrived at the scene. The connection between her and Kael was undeniable. And I hated it. She shattered my dreams of having Kael, shattered my years of carefully built–up plan to be near him. I had followed Kael and Toren to Cedar Academy, only to let her take away my dream? Fuck, no! I was going to kill the bitch before she messed up my plans. How can a human be a better Luna of the Nord pack than a werewolf? And I was the best she–wolf Kael could have. I had every quality that a Luna should have. My manipulative tendencies, combined with a cold and shrewd mindset, made me a force to be reckoned with.
After the last incident in which I posted her nude pictures on social media, Kael and his brothers went in an all–protective mode to save her. I didn’t know that Aiden had hacking skills. The bastard hacked my security footage and revealed the truth. I was caught. So the only option I had at that time was to throw my besties under the bus. They were morons who I always used to fulfill my purpose.
I shifted the blame on them by telling Henson that they were the ones who pushed me into drugging Astrid. Henson believed it and suspended the girls for the semester. He allowed me to stay in school after giving me a warning. The next thing I did was to stage a show where I kneeled in front of Astrid to ask for her forgiveness.
Things didn’t get better as I expected. The closeness between Kael and Astrid increased, and every moment they spent together was like a shard in my chest. I hated Astrid from the core of my heart. I had started hating Kael, and once I was married to him, I was going to make his life a hell.
At Las Vegas also, I tried to harass her by posting those photos, but the bitch was smart enough to outdo me. Not again.
To have a human mate wasn’t heard of, and so Astrid’s unusual attraction towards Kael was strange. In order to understand this, I sniffed Astrid and wondered if she had a dormant wolf, but she didn’t have a wolf. That made me even more edgy. I started scheming on how to expose Kael that he was a werewolf. That way, Astrid would get scared and run for life. After all, she must have seen wolves, but she mustn’t have seen wolves as large as
Kael’s.
Kael had asked the school to schedule all his classes with Astrid. Another bloody pang of jealousy hit me hard. Sitting in the class, I was watching Kael and Astrid. Kael’s hand was on Astrid’s thigh while they were listening to the teacher. I wanted to burn Astrid’s thigh, but I was burning instead.
Burning.
Burn.
Burn her.
A smile ghosted on my lips as an idea started forming.
Oh, Astrid. Soon you’ll be a toast and you’ll see Kael’s real self. You’ll run away from him and you’ll be so hideous after that that you won’t ever have a boyfriend in your life. Yes, that was the punishment you would get from the future Luna of the Nord Pack.
I clicked their picture discreetly from my place, making sure to show Kael’s hand on her thigh. And then I sent this message to Luna Kylie, saying: Kael is in love with Astrid, it seems. I am so happy for them. Love emoji. I hope they have a good life together. Two love emojis. Astrid is a human, and I hope Kael knows what he is doing. Or maybe, this is just infatuation. I didn’t want to report it to you, Luna Kylie, but I thought that it’s my duty to tell you about Kael’s decisions that can affect his future. After all, he is the future Alpha of the largest pack in North America.
I chuckled as I pressed the send button. Luna Kylie was a powerful woman in our community. I was sure that would detest Astrid from the core of
her heart.

The message was delivered, but she hadn’t opened it. She would. Soon.
As soon as the class got over, I saw them filing out of the class.
“Kael!” I called him with puppy eyes and an innocent face.
He turned to look at me, and he clenched his jaw.

“Do you remember that tomorrow is our eighth friendship anniversary?” I asked enthusiastically, glancing at Astrid, hoping she understood I knew Kael long before she arrived in his life. “I was planning a small party. Please come over and bring Astrid, too. It’ll mean a lot to me.”
He stiffened. “I am not available. We are both busy. Math teacher has assigned us classes together after school.”
The monster of jealousy inside me rose, and I felt like punching Astrid’s face. But I controlled myself. Taking a deep breath in, I said, “Even if you come for like ten minutes, I’ll be thrilled. Please, Kael. Can’t you forgive your friend?”
Kael looked at Astrid as if asking for her approval. The bitch looked into his eyes and smiled. She turned to me and said, “We’re not sure, Tracy. It depends on how soon Kael finishes his assignment.”
“I see!” I breathed. “That’s fine. But I’ll wait for you.” I gazed at Kael and pouted. “I know Astrid can’t make it because she’s still angry with me, but can you come? There’s a delightful surprise waiting
for us – your favorite fresh pineapple cake, ready for us to cut and relish together.”

me further. They were distancing themselves from me after the hotel incident.
I kept checking my phone for the whole day and the next, but Luna Kylie hadn’t read my message. It was annoying as hell. The bitch thought she was too important to give me any attention.
I continuously called Toren and Aiden until they agreed that they’ll come. Thank the goddess.
For Kael, I crafted another plan. The next day, when Toren and Aiden were in my house, I asked them to wait for a few minutes to get Kael with me.
They both scowled and said that he wouldn’t come, but I would not succumb to defeat. So, I reached his home with a big bouquet of red roses.
He opened the door wearing only jeans, his hair all tousled and he had that lusty look in his eyes. There was a lipstick mark on his neck and I
wanted to burn that.
“What do you want?” he growled.
I gave him the bouquet. “Kael, don’t be mad at me. Aiden and Toren are already at my place. Could you come for five minutes? We’ll cut the cake, and you can leave immediately after.”
