– ~Tamia~
I could feel Linda and Avery’s excitement while we walked.
“I can’t believe you went ruthless on Lilly,” Linda said excitedly.
“That bitch had it coming from the moment we met her in the general banquet hall for breakfast. She
was so full of herself, trying to control all the women with her lies and nonsense. Honestly, she had it
coming, and I must say, you went a bit too easy on her, Tamia,” Avery said, and I giggled.
“What is all that about Stephanie? They are trying to pin a lot of shit on the woman. These people
would stop at nothing. Jenny is a member of the organisation and disqualifies anything she has to say.
As far as we are concerned, it might have been her last card should all fail,” Linda said, and I stopped
and hugged Linda. She had just made a complex issue easy.
We did not have to do anything. The fact that Jenny was part of them already disqualified whatever she
tried to accuse Stephanie of.
I felt terrible that my friends did not know about what Stephanie did. Sylvester and I had kept it between
us so we could keep it secret. I was glad that Linda’s ignorance about the issue had allowed her to find
a solution.
“What’s with you, Tamia?” Linda said, wiping the cheek I kissed.
“You solved a major issue because I know they would want to use it,” I said, and Avery laughed.
“Sylvester will be king by then. Good luck with antagonising the king,” Avery said, and we chuckled.
“We got to the door of the room they kept, Olga and Annika, and I was about to step in when Avery
stopped me.
“I know Annika is personal, but you can’t have all the fun. We are lunas, too; we will be ladies when you
are queen. We deserve to have some fun with these women, Tamia. Come on,” Avery pleaded, and I
giggled.
“Trust me; we increased the silver concentration in the water for these two. I want to watch them suffer.
The thought that they threatened that poor boy makes me want to give them pain,” Linda said, and I
opened the door and walked in.
Annika and Olga were chained against the wall, naked.
“Who requested that they be kept like this?” I asked, wondering what was happening.
“I did.’ I wanted to treat every inch of their bodies,” Avery said, and I realised it was just the three of us.
“There was a silver whip on the table, and I doubted we would need to exert the energy when there
were buckets of Avery’s unique mix.
We picked up the rubber gloves and wore them to protect our hands. While we picked up the bowls, we
would take the water and splash it on their bodies. I knew we would have fun.
“How is it going, darling,” I heard Sylvester’s voice in my head, and I told him we were having a
wonderful time.
He told me David was almost at the mansion, wished me luck, and we ended the conversation. I knew
they were planning the massive arrest for tomorrow night, but I did not ask him any questions even
though I was nervous about meeting his brother and eager to see what he looked like and know why he
stayed away. I just had so many questions I might not get to ask in one day.
“Annika Richford,” I said, and she growled at me.
“Some attitude you have there,” I said and looked at Olga, who was crying. I guess Annika was the
leader.
“So what do you have for me, Annika?” I said, and she spat in my direction.
I did not have the time to fight her.
“I think she is thirsty,” I said and being from the east, she knew exactly what it meant.
Her eyes opened, but it was too late. I took some water and splashed it on her body.
She screamed, and I heard the sizzling sound of the silver searing her skin. That was definitely leaving
a scar on her skin.
“I do not have a lot of time, Annika. I would like to put my legs up and sleep. Avery and Linda would ask
you questions, and you are to answer to the best of your ability with the truth or else we will continue to
quench your thirst until you can take no more,” I said and went to sit.
Avery moved forward to Annika, while Linda moved to Olga.
I watched my friends torture these women for over an hour without asking questions. It got to the point
that Annika was pleading with me to interfere, but I had promised to give them free rein. Soon they
finished; I connected the hose to the tap in the room so I could wash their bodies with it.
“Annika was panting heavily by the time I finished cleaning her skin.
“My uncle sent me here,” She started speaking without being prompted.
” That was the only way I could earn my keep. Amanda wasn’t cooperative, so he sent me here,” she
said.
I had to commend Avery for her skills in torture. The girl must have dreaded Avery working on her
again, and she felt her best bet was to tell it all.
“I was to come here and recruit people in the estate to work for him. My Uncle planned it all. He caused
a few attacks in Brent to frighten Alpha Kyle. Then he visited immediately after the attack so Alpha Leo
would not find out. He planted it in Alpha Kyle’s head to team up with Devin Corrigan. Since Kyle and
Leo were close, Leo signed off on the alliance. He used that opportunity to create trouble that forced
Lord Volkov to attack.
That was the opportunity he needed to give me off as tribute and get rid of the three of you so that
Amanda could run things in the east. Still, My cousin is stubborn, and she did not do what he wanted.
This thing is bigger than all of us, and the people are powerful. I am just taking orders from my Uncle,”
she said, and I figured we knew everything she would tell us.
“You have nothing useful to tell us, Like who the king is?” Linda asked her, and she shook her head.
“We do not know who the King is, but I can give you the names of the council members in exchange for
a lesser punishment,” Annika said, negotiating for herself.
“Me, too,” Olga said, and I was surprised at how quickly these women gave up.
“What was your gain in all this,” I asked them, and Annika bowed her head.
“I had no choice, Luna. My parents are dead, and I depend on my Uncle. I had to do as he said, or I will
be alone.” Annika confessed, and her reason was plausible.
“What about you, Olga,” Linda asked.
“I just wanted revenge for my mate,” she said, and I realised they would not gain anything from this.
“Very well, I will give you all softer penalties if you can tell me the council members in this thing and
prove it,” I said, and Avery looked at me.
“I do not care about people outside the council. I need to know the council members that are part of the
organisation,” I said and looked at Annika.
“You seem to be close enough to your Uncle to know he associates. I need you to give me names,” I
said, and she nodded quickly, eager to please and sell her bully uncle to save her life.
“They used to visit us secretly. The activities started three years ago,” she said
“I do not know their names, but if you can call it out, I could remember the sound from memory,” Annika
said, and I pulled out my phone because they were nine council members, and I did not know all their
names by heart.
“Vino Lawrence?” I asked, and she shook her head.
“Larry McMillian?” I asked, and she shook her head, so I called a known member’s name to see if she
was lying to me.
“Jacob Ma…” I started, and she nodded before I could finish the sentence which meant she was being
truthful.
“Joan Clayman?” I asked, and she shook her head.
“Pamela Rivers?” I asked, and she shook her head.
I felt a tinge of disappointment because I wanted that bitch to be guilty. I still thought she was. Maybe
Annika did not know all their names.
“Lucas Vanhill,” I asked the quietest person on the council, and she shook her head.
“Gaston Wayat,” I said, and she frowned a bit and nodded.
“Neil Peakman,” She said quickly, which was the next name I would call.
“I remember him, Neil Peakman,” She said.
“Uncle said he is reticent in the council and makes no sound, but he passes all the orders before the
council leader signs them. He was the one who connived with Jenny Lawrence to murder Louis
Lawrence, head of the council, Vino’s father. I think they hate Vino Lawrence too. He might be on their
hit list,” She said and sighed. Though the information was fragmented, I planned to piece it together.
“I will give you the password to my computer and email so you can piece together the information on
your own, Luna. Please, I want to reduce the sentence for my cooperation.” She said quickly.
“Not yet, until your information checks out,” Avery said, and Annika agreed. Her confidence let Tamia
know she wasn’t lying, but they would still crosscheck to be sure.
“It will check out alright. I am not a liar like that, Lilly girl. You know she doubled-crossed you, right?
She told them you were on to them, so they changed strategy,” Annika said, and I realised she wanted
to cooperate.
I doubted it had anything to do with reduced sentencing. She wanted her Uncle to get caught.
“It seems to me you want us to catch your uncle,” I told her, and she bowed her head.
“I am tired of the man, Luna. Locking me up in a cell for the rest of my life will be freedom compared to
this. I am tired of everything, and I doubt what they are peddling is what they are planning,” she said,
and Olga exclaimed and asked her what she meant about that.
Annika began to laugh.
“They claim every pack will be free yet want to install a King. Do the math, Olga, and stop being dumb.”
She said and chuckled.
The girl was mentally unstable, and I felt genuinely sorry for her.
Realising there was nothing more to learn from them. Avery, Linda, and I left them and returned to my
wing.
I planned on resting before I visited Amanda.
I told the additional names to Sylvester, and I could feel his shock.
The council members that were mentioned came as a shocker to him, but the baffling part of all this
was that we were still yet to get the name of this king. It would have been nice to pick the king up along
with the others tomorrow night, but as things were looking, we would just have to go after the names
we had and hope that the king and the rest would rear their heads.
