Alpha, Not Luna 59- Under the Harvest Moon
MegThe Harvest Moon hung heavy in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the pack lands. It was a night of celebration, but tension simmered just beneath the surface. The party was in full swing, with music and laughter echoing through the estate, a stark contrast to the grim atmosphere that had plagued us recently. Mackenzie clung to my side, her brightly lit amber-brown eyes, wide with wonder as she looked around at the revelry. I was determined to make this night enjoyable for her, despite the storm brewing in my heart. The festival was meant to be a break from the chaos, but I couldn’t shake the nagging feeling of dread. Gail, our teenage babysitter, had been particularly elusive tonight. I’d caught her slipping away from the party several times, her eyes darting around as if she was trying to avoid detection. It wasn’t unusual for her to be sneaky, but tonight felt different. I suspected she was planning something, like a typical teen. Ugh, I hate the fact that I have to babysi
Alpha, Not Luna 60- Case Files
3rd person’s pov Sheriff Daniels stared at the evidence spread out before him, the dim light of the briefing room casting long shadows over the bloody, claw-marked files. The recent m*rders had thrown the populated town, into chaos, with the White Mountain squarely in the crosshairs of the investigation. As he surveyed the gruesome evidence- deep claw marks, patches of wolf fur, and bloody trails leading to and from the pack lands, his frustration was evident. How is it that nobody from after the bridge was d*ad? Because of the treaty between White Mountain Valley and the higher authorities, there was nothing he could do since his department was restricted and he had to uphold the sovereignty to maintain peace and order. He needed to build a strong case to get a search warrant. "Alright, team," Daniels said, his voice a gravelly mix of exhaustion and irritation. "We need to connect the dots here. These bodies were found in the outskirts of the White Mountain territory, and all we
Alpha, Not Luna 61- Making Bail
JaxAs Gail was led past the room, she cast a desperate glance around. Her eyes locked on mine. I had arrived at the station moments after receiving her frantic call while she was being arrested. She seemed visibly troubled as the deputy moved towards her, trying to maintain a calm exterior despite the chaos surrounding her. I shake my head because Meg figured something like this would have happened. “Mr Jax!” Gail called out to me as she was guided past me to sit in front of the desk where the officer was seated, no doubt before they took her to a holding cell, I suppose. Her voice was tinged with desperation and anxiety. “You need to help me! They’re making me out to be some kind of criminal!” Blue is upset because he seemed to have a crush on the female lead in the series we were watching at home. Seeing her distress, my face hardened and I pushed past the officers and approached the front desk. “What’s going on here? Why is she being held?” “Goodnight, sir,

Alpha Soren “Hah. She does not love him,” I argue with Logan about Megan. “It is my fault, I know. It’s me who is the fool-” I break away when my throat is too full of emotion to form any more words. Logan is winning the argument, by the way. I kept thinking about Meg and the child. How protective she seemed to be with her. Protective or dutiful because of- him and the fact that I recall a time she wanted mines. She’s come up with this thing where she told me she was pregnant with my baby. Was that her way of telling me she was ready for a family? All she wanted was my baby. Maybe I should have given in- maybe if I went along with her wild idea, she would have been part of my life now. With- a pup or pups. Maybe I could have done that and kept her and chosen a luna by now. But it’s good that things went the way it did- she's happy now. She would have been miserable with m

Alpha SorenLogan could not shake the feeling as I lay on my bed last night, the weight of exhaustion pressing heavily on me. He couldn't shake the conversation I’d had with Beta Will just hours before. The older man had spoken with the calm authority of someone who had seen it all. "Soren," Will had said, "You have to accept the mate bond if you want to heal. Your wolf is getting weaker because you're fighting it. The bond is the only thing strong enough to bring you back." Now my mind reeled in the few seconds that I had opened my eyes and saw Meg. Accept the mate bond? After all this time, after everything that had happened- I still had to accept it? It felt impossible, yet Will’s words gnawed at me. My wolf was weaker, a shadow of its former self. The truth was undeniable- without Meg, without the bond, he was fading. I was fading away. And leaving Logan, I had continued on drinking, knowing Will would see to things if need be. He already had to represent me for the last two fun
Alpha, Not Luna 64- Turmoil
Soren's POV I paced the length of the kitchen, my hands trembling, not from weakness but from the battle raging inside me. My wolf was close to the surface, a snarling, restless beast clawing to be freed. The kitchen was a hive of activity; the omegas moved with purpose, prepping my dinner under Beta Will’s watchful eye. A few gammas lounged nearby, talking in hushed tones, and casting wary glances in my direction. Their Luna’s loose behaviour out in the open? If my pack find out she is playing house with the delta- I will be looked down upon by them. They will think me weak- not weak of mind but by brawl. In our world strength means everything. If they suspect that the delta did such, my pack would expect me to ruin him. Torture him. They would think he is contesting my leadership. It would be best to end him. Or- give up being alpha. And someone else would take my place. That is the way our wolf-structured world hierarchy thrives- very domin
Alpha, Not Luna 65- Logan Takes Over
Soren’s pov Without me actually saying it, she understood what I meant. Her eyes shimmered with something I couldn’t place, and she took a hesitant step toward me, her hand reaching out. I wanted to recoil, to pull away from her touch- those hands touch the delta- but my body betrayed me. The mate pull is stronger now because I had accepted the bond and little sparks dance between us. The warmth of her hand on my arm sent a shock through me, and for a moment, the anger receded, replaced by a torrent of conflicting emotions- desire, pain, confusion. And calm. “I didn’t want to hurt you,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “I thought… I thought it was the only way.” The sincerity in her voice almost undid me. Almost. But then I remembered that night, the pain, the betrayal, and the rage came flooding back with a vengeance. She sleeps with another man and forces me to accept it- to be okay with it? She took my emotions away- what right does she have over my personal- Logan’s growl
Alpha, Not Luna 66- My Diary
MegThe drive back to Jax's house felt longer than usual. My thoughts were a tangled mess, replaying the scene in Soren's kitchen over and over. His anger, his accusations- they had cut deeper than any physical wound. But what haunted me the most was the realization that he was right. Red is silent. Disheartened even because she was caught between me and Logan. And while I did not need her to come to my defence with him, I am glad she did. But it felt different- as if she and I were one. Oh. I hadn't meant to use my Sigma persuasion on him- not intentionally, at least. I didn't even know how to control it. But I couldn't deny the truth when he said it out loud. That night, when I told him to leave and forget about everything, I had been desperate to get him out of the house because of Kenzie. But I had no idea that my words, spoken in the heat of the moment, had carried the weight of my power. The thought made my s
