Alas, no. He is contemplating exploiting me. I will not permit it. This is impossible between us.
“Release me!” I bellow. My wolf is visible. “I will confront him personally, Layne. I shoved her aside. The king is being repelled by me. He collapsed onto his back. Events transpired rapidly. I noticed a fruit knife on his desk adjacent to his bed. I seized it and slashed his throat. Blood was spurting out.
You!”He gestured towards me before collapsing. Serves you right, king; descend into oblivion. I am liberated. Without notifying the guard, I discreetly exited his chamber with my bucket. Presumably, his room is soundproof; otherwise, why would they remain idle in the presence of our disturbance? This is my opportunity to flee. I discarded the bucket and hurried to where Dani was labouring.”
“Dani,” I murmur. I require a conversation with you. I will not permit her to remain here. It is widely acknowledged that she is my friend. She will be the first to be slain when the pack members discover my actions. Subsequent to pulling her into my room. I elucidated all details to her. We have been strategising our departure for an extended period. This is the optimal moment to execute our plans. With Donald’s assistance, we evaded his group. I am aware he will hold himself accountable for assisting a criminal who murdered his alpha king if he discovers my actions.

INITIATION OF A NEW EXISTENCE.
AT A DISTANT LOCATION.
WITHIN THE HUMAN REALM.
Dani and I commence our new human existences. Our initial settlement here presented significant challenges. We are both employed in the bar, dispensing beverages. We altered our names to Briella and Bria. I am Briella. Her name is Bria. All believe we are biological sisters. Life is becoming more manageable for us. I exacted my revenge. Two years have elapsed since we fled from his pack. I longed for my family and loved ones. No one could have anticipated our escape to the human realm. Werewolves are prohibited from entering the human realm, let alone residing as one. Our existence is flawless. There is no romantic conflict. There are no familial concerns. There exists no paternal animosity. My wolf, Layne, has been persistently urging me to seek a second mate for her. She desires another opportunity, companion. Where may I locate one? Will I compel any attractive man to become my partner? I lack the time to seek a partner who will inevitably reject me once more.
“Briella, approach,” Helen summoned. “Table two requires orange juice. Helen is our colleague and is unaware of our true identity.”
“I am approaching,” I replied. I prepared the orange juice and proceeded to table two, where I encountered an exceptionally attractive individual. My gaze fixed on the recognisable figure. “Ahhh!!!””It is you,” I exclaimed in astonishment, before I could utter another word. Layne utters a startling term: “Mate.”
“Friend!!” Layne exclaims. All patrons in the pub gazed at me. She emits a powerful and primal howl.
“Maintain your distance, Layne,” I communicated telepathically. “You wish to avoid revealing yourself and being perceived as a monster by others.”
“What brings you here, Jimmy?” I enquired of my long-time friend, who appeared equally astonished to see me.
“Jessica, is that you?” He enquired. I placed my palm over his mouth.
“Briella, it is Briella for you, not Jessica,” I state. I perceive the sparks. My lifeless spirit ascended instantaneously upon contact with him. Does this sensation accurately reflect the experience? I desire proximity to him. I continued to gaze at his lips. I desire to sample him. I continually harbour negative thoughts about him. I have never experienced this with the deceased alpha king. He does not provide me the opportunity to experience the connection that ignites between us.
I enquired once more, “What are you doing here, Vi?”
“I am present to meet an individual on behalf of the alpha,” he responds.
Why is he not present? Jimmy’s father, the betta, ought to be here, not his son.
Where is your father located? I enquired. He is expected to be present as the alpha beta.
“Ah, that!” Everything has transformed. He is no longer the subordinate. Alpha Darius has retired and is akin to my father. “We have a new alpha and luna, and I am his beta,” he replies. “We currently operate a business in the human domain. I was astonished by his revelation. Werewolves are prohibited in this area. Am I still secure here? They will pursue us once they discover our presence. I am certain his pack members are still searching for their king’s murderer. I must ensure Dani’s safety.”
“What astonishing news!”I grinned. How is everything? How is everyone? How are Zora and Bria?
“They are well,” he murmurs while grasping my waist. “What about you, friend?” What is your current state?
