A Moonstone Without Light

Alpha Darren's brows were knitted closely together as the car glided across the street. His face held the air of unpleasantness and it was obvious to every eyes that could see that their Alpha was not in a good mood, well, he never was in a good mood and that was why the people consistently clamored for a Luna.

Yes, they loved their Alpha but being all strong and strict wasn't all they needed, they needed the soft touch of the Luna in the pack. Alpha Darren however did not care much about finding his mate because to him, he was doing well enough and if the moon goddess was unwilling to give his mate to him, he would just go for another woman and make her his Luna.

But now he had just faced the elders of the pack and although none of them had dared to slam the issue in his face, it was clear that the people now desperately wanted their Luna.

A leader belongs to his people and Alpha Darren was not exemption, if finding his mate so badly was what his people wanted, he was going to do that, find her and make her his Luna.

The car came to a slow stop as they got into the mansion of the Alpha. The door was pulled open by a wolf guard immediately and Alpha Darren stepped out of the car.

"Welcome back, Alpha Darren" his beta, Carlos bowed as he greeted.

He was a man of average height but he had a pretty good body, his eyes were brown and beautiful and his hair was blonde. Just like the Alpha, he too, could not find his mate yet and this sent more panic into the pack. The leader and his second in command had no mates!

"Prepare a party for tomorrow night and make it compulsory. Every single female wolf must attend the party. I'd be looking out for my mate"

It was his first time throwing the party and Alpha Darren was sure that even if he did not find his mate, the fact that he threw a party to find her would be enough to satisfy the people for a while before he took his next step.

"Yes, Alpha" the beta replied, glad for this development. He was not just happy for Alpha Darren but he was also happy for himself. If all the female wolves gathered tomorrow, he was definitely going to be able to find his own mate amongst them too. A small smile tugged at the curve of his lips as Alpha Darren walked into his home.

"A... Alpha Darren" a maid greeted with a shaky voice but Darren ignored her greetings and simply breezed past her with two male wolves following behind him to his room.

"You may leave" Darren's deep, masculine voice was barely above a whisper as he spoke.

"Yes, Alpha" the one carrying his briefcase bowed deeply, offering the briefcase back to him.

Darren picked the briefcase and walked into his room, his cold eyes running over every part of the room.

He was close to being a neat freak and even a speck of dust was something he would never accept in his room. Every maid in his home knew this and his room was cleaned with extra care.

Darren dropped his briefcase to one side of the couch and was about jerking his clothes off his body but he stopped in front of the mirror.

Sharp blue eyes, dyed brown hair, a perfect flawless skin, pointed nose and an average sized lips to complete his face. He unbuttoned more of his buttons, revealing his rock hard abs and body. He looked hot, undeniably. No one could deny that, not even his biggest enemy, Alpha Stanley would be able to deny that fact.

Alpha Darren did not need to be told before he knew it, he was freaking handsome and he had loads of girls after him. Why won't he? After all, he had the power, the looks, the money, and he was Alpha Darren of the Crosswalk Pack.

He knew with his high profile, not having a mate should not be for him.

He picked his calendar and a pen.

With a change of mind, he left his shirt on his body but completely unbuttoned. He looked towards the wall that looked plain and simple but once he moved away a book on his small shelf in the room, the wall paved way and opened up for him.

Alpha Darren walked into the secret room and turned on the lights in there, after which the door closed behind him.

He walked further into the place and soon had to open another door to a room that was dark.

It was the room where the moonstone was being kept. The moon stone was the most precious thing in the pack. Darren considered it even more precious than his own very life. That moon stone was what gave him edge over the other packs and what kept his hope of being the first Alpha King of Wolfbrim alive but even for such a purpose, he needed a Luna.

He walked into the room where the moonstone was kept and sighed. The moonstone had stopped shining since many years ago. It never shone during his father's lifetime but there was a prophecy that a Luna wolf would make it shine.

Darren could not wait for the Luna wolf to make the moonstone shine. The moonstone shining on him, its possessor would not only make him powerful but would also eliminate his enemies.

But for years, he had not found that Luna wolf and he was starting to wonder if he was going to be like his father, who never found the luna wolf.

He merely stood in front of the moonstone for a few seconds, his cold eyes on the precious but dark, lightless gem.

"I'm 29 already. I should have found my mate eleven years ago but here I am, mateless until this very moment."

"But if you, the moon goddess has no plans for me, I have better plans for myself and that is why I am giving you an ultimatum, if you do not lead me to my mate in a month, I'd pick for myself" he stated firmly and marked the date of the next one month on his calendar.

He was giving an ultimatum to the moon goddess herself but he cared less about who she was if she could not solve the tiniest issue of giving him a mate. He had marked the date and he meant every of his word, he would get himself a mate if he was not given one.
