Luna's Deadly Deception: How She Made Her Alpha Pay
Chapter 16

The elder wolf, Wilhelm, nearly forty, gulped his blood wine. His younger partner, Erik, rolled up his sleeves revealing ancient runes, matching Wilhelm's casual demeanor.

"With the sabotage done and this rain, that pup won't survive," Erik smirked. "These stepmothers pretend kindness for two years, then strike when the heir gets his driving runes."

Axel's ears perked up, a plan forming.

"These cruel ones keep us in business," Wilhelm added.

Axel approached their table. "Brothers, let me cover your meal. I have a proposition."

"Do we know you?" Wilhelm growled suspiciously.

"No, but fate brought us together. You're already working one job - what's another? I'll double your usual fee."

The brothers exchanged looks before agreeing. Axel showed them Thea's photo, satisfied with their arrangement.

After Axel left, Wilhelm slipped into his vehicle, contacting Magnus: "Axel took the bait."

Magnus twirled a silver pen. "His plan?"

"He wants us to sabotage Luna Blackwood's vehicle during the next rain. Promised an extra fifty thousand for ensuring her death."

Magnus's face darkened. "How generous of him." His usual controlled demeanor cracked slightly.

"Minimal damage only," Magnus instructed. "I'll handle the rest." He'd arrange for a decoy to drive Thea's car, staging the fatal crash.

Five days later, rain poured over Norvaria. Thea parked in the underground den as usual.

Axel watched her leave before signaling Wilhelm. At midday, the brothers, dressed in black, sabotaged her vehicle.

That evening, 'Thea' drove out. On a deserted slope, the decoy spun the vehicle three times before crashing into ancient pine trees. Flames engulfed the front immediately.

Axel smiled, photographing his success before departing.

Within hours, the Blackwoods released a formal pack announcement:

"With profound grief, we announce our beloved daughter Thea Blackwood, age 27, has joined the Moon Goddess at 20:07 on December 20, 2024, following a tragic accident. Her warmth and love will echo eternally in our hearts. May she replace peace in the eternal hunting grounds. If fate allows, we pray to share pack bonds again in our next lives."

The news sent shockwaves through all territories.
