The Divine Luna Awakening

***Leila POV*** “shhhh,” a familiar voice hissed from my bedroom. And outside, my hands froze over the doorknob. “Stop, someone might hear us,”It sounded like my best friend Alessia. I felt a sickening knot tie in my belly. As soon as I heard my fiancé, Damian reply her. “And who cares if they do?”Through the keyhole on my door, I could see them lying on my bed, with Damian caressing her, urging her to consent to his erotic desires. “What will the pack say when they find out?” Alessia purred, darting her eyes at him. Her tone, seductive as she trailed her finger across Damian’s luscious lips. “Apha Xander hates a fuss in the pack and Leila would be heartbroken when she finds out what we are about to do.”“I’ll protect you from all of them, remember I am your knight in shining armor.” Damian said, lowering himself to kiss her forehead. He sounded confident. I had seen enough and in a burst of emotions, I flung my door open. Pulling my bag as I sent it flying to the back of my f

***Leila POV****Alpha Xander was observing the scene before him with displeasure. His lips pressed against each other. There was dried blood splattered all over his face, shirt and hands. Which meant he just came back from a battle. “Don’t let me repeat myself.” he ordered, his voice was frosty cold. I noticed my father's posture stiffen slightly from behind me. But he soon regained composure. Stepping away from my step mother and step sister, he moved towards Xander. “Alpha, welcome back,” he said. “I am sure you…..”“Don’t waste my time, Carlson.” Xander replied cutting him off. I felt my face flush at his thundering command. Inside me, Lea whinned, hiding her face in her paws. “Yes Alpha,” my father replied, slowly lowering his head in a show of respect. “This is a simple matter, I am sorry that this dishonorable scene is the first thing you're seeing upon your return.”The atmosphere was enveloped in silence for what seemed like forever. I could see the rage burning in Xand

Xander’s POVFor two years now, i had kept it to myself. The knowledge that Leila was my mate. By the time I found out, my reputation as Alpha was already set in stone. Those who knew me would say, I was cold, ruthless, powerful and uncompromising. I had lived all my life, caring less about finding a mate or starting a family. But on a particular day, my entire world changed forever. That was on her Eighteenth birthday. On that day, I was drinking with my friend Carlson when he told me. “I don't feel like going back home.” he murmured. It was his bastard daughter’s birthday. She just turned eighteen. Turning eighteen for werewolves meant that they were officially transitioning into adulthood, taking up certain responsibilities and also finding a mate. Each wolf were given a gift, a small pouch that contained wolfsbane, according to tradition. Everyone in the pack knew how he treated her. She was never accepted as a family member. Carlson was involved with a woman who wasn't his

***Laura POV***The evening breeze was both calm and soothing as it kissed my skin, I relished the thoughts of serving as Luna, even if it was for one night. I felt a wave of mixed emotions wash over me. I felt happy that I was chosen to serve in the Triumph procession and also nervous, really nervous at the fact that I had never done this before. This was my first time. I never imagined I would amount to much in life after my mother died. But this was a role assigned to me by our Alpha and I couldn't say no. As I pondered more over it, I noticed beads of sweat forming across my forehead, about to trickle down my face as my hands become clammy. I stole a glance at myself in the vanity mirror in front of me, I beamed a smile at how beautiful I looked and how nicely the dress accentuated my overall appearance, I could not wait for Alpha Xanders to see me. The house was almost empty, as both my parents were at the venue of the celebration. I was waiting for the Alpha to send his escorts

***Leila POV****I screamed for help, my lungs burning from exhaustion, coupled with the fact that I had not eaten anything for days now. As Damien leaned closer to kiss my neck, the knock from the door echoed through the entire cell, a large muscular arm pulling him from behind, slamming him into the wall. “I leave you for one second and this is what you do!!” Antonio growled at Damien, his voice dripping with venom.“I am sorry Alpha, it was a mistake… I'm sorry” Damien stammered, as he quivered in fear. “No one has the right to lay hands on her, except I say so!!” he barked, his voice commanding such great authority, that I felt the hairs on my body standing on their end. “Are you okay, can you walk?” Antonio asked, his voice laced with deep concern as he made eye contact. For a second I felt a wave of relief wash over me, but I was in so much pain that I had no time to pretend or act tough. When he saw that I couldn't move, he leaned closer and unbuckled the silver chains from
