Chapter 2 Op

A week later>>>>>>

In her room, Lily can be seen sitting on the bed while an old maid serves her and supervises the other maids working in the room. The room is quite the luxury one though it's a bit clear that Lily hates being here. An Indian soap opera can be heard playing in the background though it seems like no one is actually watching.

Lilly's POV~

"Do you need any other thing ma'am?" Juliet, one of the maids asked me as she served me a cup of green tea. She was the oldest and nicest in the whole palace.

"No, I'm okay" I said with a smile. Dean had assigned Juliet to take care of me and I had actually become quite fond of her as of late. She was just like an oasis in the middle of a scorching desert.

"Anything you say ma'am" Juliet said with a chuckle as she was about to leave. But then she paused. She had quite the worried look on her face, which she rarely ever has.

"Uhhmm ma'am?" She said as she turned around.

"Yeah?" I responded, feeling a little perplexed as I took a sip from the teacup.

"You seem a bit worried. Is anything the matter?" She asked. She had a look of deep concern on her face.

"Hmph" I sighed as I blew on the tea.

"It's him again, isn't it?" She asked as she walked over and sat beside me.

"Yeah. He is calling a pack meeting tonight" I replied, "Says he's going to announce his mate" she added.

"Oh gosh. You don't think he's going to announce his mistress as his new mate, do you?" Juliet asked.

"I really can't tell honestly. I just can't read him" I responded, "Though he did tell me a few days ago that he only needs me to have kids for him. I already know he has no feelings for me, so I kinda know what to expect" I said and then heaved a sigh.

"Don't worry ma'am" Juliet said, "I'm sure it'll all work out in your favor. Just relax, okay? You have me, if anything goes wrong" she assured me. A smile etched up on my face just before I hugged her. I really needed someone to lean on and she was perfect.

"Thank you"

*** In Dean's bedchamber ***

Teresa's POV~

"Urrghh fuck!" he groaned in pleasure as he let out his fluids in my body. Pulling out, he fell on the bed almost unconscious as drowsiness had begun to take a hold of him. Perhaps he was over doing it a little. Afterall, this was the ninth round! Sheesh.

"Geez, you came pretty fast this time" I said as I got off the bed and walked over to the bathroom where I took a quick shower and came out again with a white towel wrapped around my body. I came out only to see him passed out and fast asleep on the bed.

"Dean?" I called out as I tapped him a little. He didn't respond. He really was out cold.

"Pffft!....what an idiot". I scoffed.

To think he really trusted me enough to show me the safe. Men (***shakes her head in pity***)

"Now to get what I came for" I muttered as I walked over to the huge portrait on the wall. Moving the portrait aside, a safe door could be seen in the wall. "Bingo" I said before hurriedly walking over to the nightstand to pick up my phone and call someone.

It rang for a while and then the person picked up.

"Hello?" a male voice answered.

"Yeah it's me. I've found the safe" I replied.

"Brilliant. Just brilliant" the voice said "Now just follow my instructions"

"Sure. So what's the passcode?" I asked feeling a little anxious as there really was no telling when Dean would wake up.

"It's *********" he replied.

"Got it. Hold on a sec......" I said as I carefully inputed the digits.

"Click!"

"I got it!" I said ecstatically almost yelling, but then quickly turned down the volume as I took a look at the passed out Dean.

"Good. Now open it" the voice said. Taking a peek at Dean behind me, I quietly opened the safe and in it, saw a golden ring adorned with a huge glowing emerald.

"Whoa" I exclaimed in a whisper, "I've got a visual" I added, talking to the guy on the phone.

"Alright. Now open the case I gave you this morning. Inside it, there's an exact replica of that ring" the voice said, "I want you to switch the both of them" he said.

"Roger that" I replied as I dashed to the bed and began to check my pant's pocket for the case. Not finding it there, I tossed it and went on to check the breast pocket of my jacket.

"Found it"

I dashed back to the safe and opening the red case, pulled out an identical looking ring. Then I carefully observed the position of the original ring in the safe and tried to replicate the angle. Could never be too careful.

"Are you done yet?" The voice asked, probably wondering what was taking so long.

"Not yet. Just give me a sec" I said as I carefully removed the first ring and put the second one in it's place. "Alright, I'm done" I finally responded.

"Good. Now get over here with that ring" the voice said, "I'll be waiting".

"Copy that" I responded as I hung up, put my clothes on and quietly left the room.

The mission had finally begun.

______________________________________________________

In Klaus' living chamber, Klaus can be seen on the phone as he sits with his legs crossed. The chamber is quite luxurious and cozy. There's a fireplace just in front of his one-seater throne-like couch and a little round table beside it, on which the dialer of the landline can be seen.

Klaus's POV~

"So how did it go sir?" Snape asked as I placed the handset back on the dialer.

"She got it" I said triumphantly with a evil but joyful smirk on his face, "I am one step closer to ascending the throne".

"Why congratulations, my Lord" Snape responded with a smile on his face, "I reckon we should celebrate this with some wine" he added.

"Indeed" I responded, "We celebrate not just for ourselves alone but for the freedom of our pack from the tyrannous rule of my idiot brother" I said as Snape popped a wine bottle on the counter, and bringing out two wine glasses, filled them up. He walked over with them and handed over a glass to me.

"Here you go Master" he said as he handed the glass over.

"Thank you Snape" I said as I took the glass, "Now I propose a toast to the dawn of a new era. An era of peace, freedom and most importantly, noble rule. Cheers" We clinked our glasses against each other.

"Cheers, my Lord" Snape replied with a sincere smile as we both continued to talk and laugh.

A few hours later >>>>>>

*** The palace main banquet hall ***

The hall, glamorously decorated, is filled with guests, dressed in classy ball gowns and tuxedos. Classical music can be heard in the background as a classical orchestra performs live at a corner of the hall. The banqueting hall has also been designed in such a way that the moonlight illuminates the center of the hall, acting as a spotlight to the podium at the center. Rows of brilliant chanderliers hanging off the ceiling, illuminate the hall.

Lily's POV~

"Wow, he really outdid himself this time" Juliet said as we walked into the hall.

"Geez, I didn't think there would be so many people" I said, feeling a bit intimidated by the crowd as I looked around the hall. I glanced around with my eyes to see if I would see my family, but I couldn't apparently.

It's almost like a part of me wanted to see them and another part didn't.

"Are you looking for someone?" Juliet asked, startling me a little bit.

"Huh?" I responded, "Uhhm no no" I said "I think we should......"

"Excuse me?" A male voice interjected me, prompting me to turn around and ake a look at the person. "You're Miss Lily Frost if I'm not mistaken, right?" A dashing young man in a black suit and bowtie, with a glass of champagne in his hand asked. Honestly, I was a bit taken aback by his looks. He really was handsome, almost unreal.

"Yes" I answered with a skeptical look on my face, "And you are?" I asked.

"Oh pardon me. I'm Roman. Roman Jean" he said, extending his hand for a handshake which I took.

"Jean?" I asked with my eyebrows arched upward in skepticism, "Sounds oddly familiar"

"Oh yeah. I'm Miley's cousin" he said , "She's told me a lot about you" he added.

"Oh" I exclaimed with my eyes slightly widened, "I thought you looked a bit familiar" I said to which he chuckled. "Where's Miley anyway?" I asked, my eyes glancing around.

"Oh, she was with me just about a minute ago" he said as he glanced around for her.

"She'll come around. She probably went.....ohh" Someone covered my eyes from behind. I knew the scent of that perfume anywhere. It was Miley.

"Come on Miley, I can tell it's you already" I said as she removed her hands from my eyes and hugged me.

"I missed you so much" She said as she let go off me. I could see the nostalgia in her eyes.

"Yeah me too" I responded with a warm smile. I was so happy to talk to her again. Other than Juliet who I'd met only just recently, Miley was literally my only friend (as I had always been heavily introverted).

"Anyway, we've got a lot to talk about" she suddenly said, holding me by the wrist, "I heard about what happened".

I was just about to respond when suddenly, someone mounted the moonlight podium. He was a tall man in black suit (probably one of Dean's betas, judging from his demeanor) and windswept jet-black hair.

"All rise for the Alpha!" His voice resonated throughout the hall. Everyone stood still with a slight bow as Dean and his entourage walked over to the skybox area where he sat on his throne, with his legs crossed as he looked down at the guests with an expressionless face that almost seemed disinterested.

"Let the wedding banquet begin!"
