Alpha, Not Luna 44- A New Perspective
Alpha Soren Hering the door opening, I turn back and see Meg in the doorway and my breath is almost taken away. Her doe eyes locked onto mine. For a moment, we simply stared at each other, the tension between us thick enough to cut. Her hair is a mess and she’s wearing my T-shirt, in my bedroom. Of course, I respond in a manner of- I sniff, my nose twitching. Her eyebrows come together- twisting in such a Meg way- bent. “What is it?” My eyebrows furrow and my nostrils flare. The f*cking delta! I could smell him on her! It’s faint but I get it. “Must you always reek of him?” “What?” It’s her turn to furrow her brows. “Get out, now!” “What? Why?” She genuinely seems confused and then I see her face take on a knowing look. Her wolf has spoken to her. “How about I take a shower then? Please. I’m only here to help- you. I know what’s happening Soren.” At the mention of my name, I soften and nod my head. She disappears back into my room and I head to my office where I pour myself
Alpha, Not Luna 45- A Day in Town
Meg The late morning sun filtered through the pickup as Jax, Kenzie and I drove into the parking lot on the outskirts of town. The forest around us this morning was too alive with the sounds of nature, birds chirping, and leaves rustling in the gentle breeze for me to handle. I think I got too accustomed to city life. Jax loved it, however. Exiting, we head to the bazaar, Mackenzie skipping along, between us, her dark curls bouncing with each step. She held tightly to Jax’s hand, her bright brown eyes, so much like Soren’s. But instead of broody, hers was wide with excitement. Red decided today would be a day she would spend with Logan. I glanced over at Jax, a soft smile playing on my lips. There was a calmness to him that I had come to cherish, a steadiness that balanced out the turbulence of my past. I watched as he effortlessly lifted Mackenzie over a small puddle, and she giggled with delight. “Careful there, little one,” Jax said, his voice warm as he set her back on the g
Alpha, Not Luna 46- Now You Know
Meg Soren drops by the very next morning and I rush out quickly, not wanting Kenzie to meet him just yet. She did ask when she would meet him and I simply told her soon. She had pouted and that was it. Goodness, he looks good in the morning sun! His features hadn’t changed much. He was handsome as ever- more rugged perhaps but my heart did not do flips like it used to. He was dressed like the usual- straight-fitted jeans- grey and a plain black T-shirt, boots on his feet. His hand had his usual leather bands and his single gold ring on his right index finger. Honestly, he appeared a thousand times better than earlier and even then, I thought he was ravishing even though I could see his sunken cheeks. His scent is so appealing to me. Mountain air- like sandalwood and cashmere-like desire and- even sniffing it forever will never be enough for me. “Meg, come home.” His words sour me while Red is saddened. “Do you mean the ‘omega’ house or the packhouse where yah screwed ev
Alpha, Not Luna 47- Monitoring Megan
Beta WillThe air in the packhouse was thick with the scent of smoked meats and the earthy aroma of freshly tanned hides. I observed everyone because the alpha had his mind preoccupied with his mate. The mate that attempted to reject him on day one of meeting him even though Soren had already announced to the pack that he found their luna. Then he learned that Logan had accepted his mate- so why didn’t the alpha follow suit and accept his? It baffled me what was going on. It is evident- to me anyway...possibly because my power is stronger because of my rank that I picked up on it. But the girl is familiar somehow. Another thing I sensed was that she and Soren have a history. So again... why didn’t Soren accept the bond? Soren led Megan through the wide halls, their footsteps echoing off the wooden floors. This side of the mansion is rarely used now. Once bustling with activity, now felt quieter, partly due to the tension brought on by the murders and partly because of the impendi
Alpha, Not Luna 48- Telling Soren I am With Jax
Meg“I want you to be part of this, Meg. You’ve always had a sharp mind for strategy, and with you by my side, we could make this a reality. The pack would thrive under our leadership.” There was a time when Soren’s words would have stirred something deep within me, a desire to be the one standing beside him. But that was before- before the rejection- before I’d left the pack and found a new path. And I see how jaded I was all those years ago. While I wanted to be with him, I never fully did, did I? I mean he is an alpha, I should have visualised what being with an alpha is- making me a luna and I never saw myself ruling beside him, did I? No, I only saw me and him. I spoke to him via mind link and his eyes widened as if he was about to refuse and I eyed Will. He is making me uncomfortable especially now that Soren has taken the conversation from m*rder to personal.
Alpha, Not Luna 49- My Alpha Rage
Alpha Soren's“Did you?” I roar, my voice breaking through the tension between us. She stands across the room, calm, too calm, as if she’s unaffected by the storm raging inside me. How can she be so damn composed when everything between us is crumbling? My wolf snarls, straining against the thin control I have left. She begins, but I cut her off with a harsh snarl. The wolf in me wants to rip her words from her mouth, to silence the lie before it even has a chance to form. I barely am aware of what happened next. My mate- my chosen mate has been living with this man? I had been under the impression she had been babysitting his child and she- The sound of wood splintering under my fist echoes in the empty office, but I barely register it. The desk shatters like it’s made of twigs, pieces flying in every direction. My breath comes out in ragged gasps, each exhale laced with a growl that I can’t suppress. I feel my wolf pushing at the surface, desperate to break free, to tear somethi
Alpha, Not Luna 50- Sigma pusuasion
Meg Jax and I haven’t spoken about my bruised neck when though I want to tell him, I am ashamed. I’d left my dress in the bin in one of the washrooms of the alpha house in the middle of the party, running down the wide staircase in my wolf form, trembling and almost having a heart attack when I encountered a closed door downstairs. The only other open one would have led to the party. Then I had to revert to my human form, open the door and change back into my wolf before escaping out into the thick trees behind the mansion. Once hidden in the thick trees, and knowing I was a good distance from Soren, I sprawled out and bawled my life out. Red was with me but silent. Then I mind linked Jax, who was still at the party, telling him, I was going home. He of course wanted me to wait on him and he would be bringing the truck around but I told him I was halfway there, cutting Blue’s link with me. I only let Gail hear my voice, informing her, I was home before I ran upstairs still in wolf
Alpha, Not Luna 51- The Betrayal Bond
Alpha SorenLogan wails inside me- for me. He isn’t the one being betrayed right now- I am but because he is part of me, he feels it too. I’ve never felt this before but Instantly I knew what it was. Meg, my mate is F*CKING SOMEONE right now! I can’t escape the throb of betrayal that echoes through me, a relentless, gnawing pain that makes my every heartbeat feel like a hammer. It’s not just physical- though the ache in my chest is sharp and unrelenting- it’s a deep, visceral wound that cuts straight to the core of my being. I should have been prepared for this. I knew Meg had moved on, but nothing could have readied me for the reality of it. And since I know I forbade the delta from touching her, who is she with right now? F*cking b*tch really proving she is Sigma after all. Logan disapproves of my wording for his mate’s human but I couldn’t care less. She’s screwing someone who isn’t me, right now! I fist the wall in my anger. Every detail of the scene in my mind is etched with

Alpha, Not Luna 83- Decisions
Megan’s POV Breathing out harshly, I stand at the window of the small office in Jax’s house, staring out at the woods that bordered the pack lands in the near distance. The morning sun filtered through the trees, casting long shadows on the ground, but I couldn’t focus on the beauty of it. My mind is elsewhere- on Soren, on Mackenzie, and on the pack that was slowly falling apart. On the three young boys that were plagued with fevers for the past two nights and what would happen to them after I left. Jax said it was normal for boys to get fevers that way but still I worried. The k*llings that were happening to the pack members and humans. The fact that Gail thought it was related to her own pack being slaughtered years back. But most importantly on Mackenzie and Soren. She needed her father and he, his daughter. Red is very stubborn and thinks Soren deserves nothing but my scorn and only softened because Soren being hurt meant her mate Logan being hurt as well. Will, had requested
Alpha, Not Luna 82- A Weakened Alpha
Alpha Soren's POV I paced the length of my office, my steps heavy, the tension rolling off me in waves. I’d spent my life protecting this pack- giving it my soul and it cost me my woman and my child! My fists clenched at my sides, and I could feel the frustration coursing through my veins, tightening my chest. Logan was almost a ghost of his former self. He barely stirred today, a faint shadow where there used to be power. He was slipping away. Five days is how long I have not seen Megan. Red has somehow blocked Logan and he has not been the same since. Logan is tearing me apart from the inside. It’s been five days since I last saw her, and the bond- what little of it I could still feel, is nearly gone. Her doing, of course. She has that power over me, over us. The pain is relentless, a constant throb in my chest that makes it hard to breathe. Logan can’t reach Red, can’t feel her, and it’s driving him mad. He’d clawed at me, howling in my head, begging to break free and find her
Alpha, Not Luna 81- Selfish Meg
Alpha Soren’s POV Her words hung in the air, colder than any wind that’s ever brushed over me. It could give the Arctic winds competition ‘I'll break your arm.’ The threat cut deeper than it should have. Meg's violet eyes, once soft and filled with something I didn’t deserve, were now hardened with the same venom she reserved for rogues. She wasn’t bluffing. I knew that, but it was the way she stood between me and him-like he was something worth protecting. It made my blood boil. I should’ve ripped his throat out the second he stood in my way. And as if sensing Logan’s desperation to break free and slice his claws across the delta’s neck, Will rushes everyone out, leaving Megan and I in privacy. Meg, standing there like I wasn’t even her Alpha anymore. The worst part was, maybe I wasn’t. She was different now. Stronger. Surer of herself than I’d ever seen her. And it made me realize just how much I had lost. She was everything any alpha would want and more too
Alpha, Not Luna 80- Smack Dab With the Truth
Alpha SorenFinally, it’s 10 am and with it, the dreaded meeting. Beta and two gammas are outside with another person- possibly the lab tech. Taking two minutes outside the door to appreciate Meg's scent, I bask in it. It's been too long without her.I was barely holding it together when I walked into the room, finding Meg and the delta already waiting- the bipolar in me again. The tension was thick, almost suffocating. Logan growls. Megan looked as though she hadn’t slept either, with dark circles under her eyes. The delta was seated by her side, a silent but steady presence. The sight of him fuelled my anger, and I had to fight to keep my wolf in check. A torrent of emotion surges through me. “We need to talk,” Megan began, her voice strained. “About Mackenzie.” Huh, I figured Logan would have done the ‘run and tell’ his mate I knew already being as she convinced him to hold himself in check and to try to contain me as well. Red was powerful enough to separate my wolf from me in
Alpha, Not Luna 79- My Daughter
Alpha SorenThe delta’s child tugged on my sleeve bringing me out of my shock mode and I asked her who told her that while I scanned the fighters behind her, a deep frown setting up house, on my forehead. The pack was full of malicious wolves and I will punish them. Mocking me as alpha is forbidden. And they were poking fun at me because of my luna playing house with another man’s baby. I knew it was only a matter of time before word got out but I was hoping Meg would have seen reason and forgiven me before that happened. Thus, coming home to take her place in my bed. “Nobody silly. I ask you.” She points to me with her tiny finger. “Mummy said my daddy is strong and brave. She say he special.” She was cute in the way she spoke missing out words- and she just saved the usual pack gossipers from a cruel whipping. Officially introducing myself to her, I lowered myself to converse better with her throwing her head back, showing she was tired of looking up. Plus, the loud breath she
Alpha, Not Luna 78- Wait Until Tomorrow
Alpha SorenThe Moon Goddess must truly despise me. Why else would she punish me so? I was barely holding on, teetering on the edge of my sanity. It had been weeks since I last saw Meg. Weeks of torture that only the Moon Goddess herself could have devised. Logan was growing weaker with every passing day. The absence of his mate was like a slow, excruciating death. And I felt every bit of it. Even if I had hoped to gather the strength to reject Meg, to sever the bond that only brought pain- at my strongest, I was powerless when it came to Megan. Both my wolf and I would accept death rather than live without our mate. I was pacing my office- I should not and save my strength but I am restless and agitated. A knock on the door pulled me from my spiralling thoughts. “Come in,” I barked, not in the mood for interruptions, though anything was better than this maddening speculation. when Beta burst through the door, his face flushed with urgency. “Alpha, they’ve arrived,” Will said, his
Alpha, Not Luna 77- Eyes Like Mine
Little MackenzieI like the park. It’s big, with lots of grass and trees, and I can run so fast! I can hear the birds singing in the trees and the wind whooshing past my ears when I run. Today, I'm playing with the other kids from the wolf pack. My shoes get all muddy, but Mummy says it’s okay because they’re just shoes. There’s this boy named Benjamin, and he’s kind of fun. He’s got a funny laugh that makes me giggle, and we run around and around until we fall into the grass, all out of breath. Beth, his mom, says I should be nice to him because we’re gonna be friends forever. I wonder if that means we’ll get married one day. Maybe. Mummy says she and Uncle Jax grew up together here, just like me and Benjamin. They were friends when they were small, and now they’re big and still friends. So, maybe I’ll marry Benjamin when we’re big, but only if he stops pulling my hair. Maybe I’ll just have him as my boyfriend. Gross. There’s a lot of people at the park today, grown-ups too. I l
Alpha, Not Luna 76- Admittance
JaxAfter getting a very tired Mackenzie inside and settled- poor child so confused by everything- we found ourselves alone, the weight of the impending confrontation pressing down on us. Meg stood by the only open window in the entire house- because it faced the forest and not the pack where someone could see it by chance- staring out at the dimly moonlit forest beyond, her shoulders tense with her unspoken worry. But I know her. Walking up behind her, I wrap my arms around her tiny waist, pulling her close. I kiss the nape of her neck and she sighs leaning back against my chest, letting go of a shaky breath, and relaxing against me, the tension slowly melting away as I hold her. “Jax,” she began, her voice barely above a whisper, “what if he doesn’t accept it? What if he tries to take her from me?” He can't. I love that little girl as if she were my own flesh and blood. It nearly breaks my heart to hear the fear in her tiny voice and to know this is what has been corroding her b
Alpha, Not Luna 75- Back
JaxIt’s been almost a month since we should have gone back to White Mountain Valley, but I kept pushing it off. Meg needed more time, and honestly, so did I. This wasn’t just about going back to the pack; it was about reintroducing Mackenzie to Soren- this time as his daughter. I knew it would be a bombshell, one that would change everything, and Meg wasn’t ready to face that on her own. She said she couldn’t do it without me, and I couldn’t leave her to handle it alone. Meg had been acting different these past few weeks. Clingy, maybe a little sad too. It was like she could feel the pull of the mate bond with Soren growing stronger as we got closer to the day we’d have to go back. I hated seeing her like this, torn between two men, and I hated even more that she thought I was trying to push her back to him. It wasn’t true, but the mate bond is a powerful thing, and it was eating at her, making her question everything. One night, just over a week ago, she broke down. We were sittin
