***Alana's POV***What? I stood up all at once. I can't believe what I just heard.“What are you talking about, Marcus?”“Like I earlier mentioned, I would rather not bring this matter to you, knowing it's a delicate matter.”“What do you mean, sensitive matter? You ought to have brought this to my notice before now!” I said, getting up from my chair.“My pack is being attacked, and I'm the last to know?”I was on the verge of going mad.“Luna, please calm down. We are letting you know because like I earlier said, the Alphas are on an important mission.”“So, what are you suggesting?”The elders all stared at one another.“Since it has come to this, we can as well choose the strongest in our pack to protect them.”“Hell no, that would never happen. You don't expect me to just sit here and wait. I'm worried about death.”“What are you talking about, Luna?” Marcus asked and the other elders all looked at me with a surprised expression.I came in front of them, my hands on my hips and my
**Alana's POV***As soon as I went to the visitor's hall, I was shocked to see my mom, pacing worriedly. I could tell she's this way because she wanted to see me.“Mom!” I called out, and she looked in my direction.When she saw me, she instantly went wide in shock and rushed over to meet me with arms wide open.“Oh, my dear! I'm so glad to see you.”“Mom, thank goodness!” I said with eyes closed as I pulled her into a deep, warm hug with eyes closed.Just then, she moved away and pulled away from the hug at once. At first, I was confused why she acted that way. I noticed as she looked down at my stomach and let out a loud gasp.“Oh, my goodness! You're pregnant, Alana.” She exclaimed, wide-eyed.“Yes, mom.” I said with tears in my eyes. She instantly bursts into tears while looking at me. “This is the best thing I've seen so far. My dear, I'm so proud of you,” she muttered, with tears trickling down her eyes.“I'm pleased you are, mom. You do not know just how much I've wanted to sho
**Alana's POV**I winced in pain as I left the kitchen. My feet have become numb since I've been standing all evening to prepare dinner. It was too much for me, but then it's not like I have a choice. When it was my turn to make dinner, the maids never helped me. I alone catered for the whole pack's meals.My father, the Alpha of the Rising Moon Pack, died in the battle with the Blood Rose Pack, I, his only daughter, also faced being sentenced. Weal and woe, my mother happened to be the mate of new Alpha, she pleaded with her mate to have mercy on me before falling into a coma. So, I was pardoned and was able to stay at the packhouse as a slave.But, my life here was worse than that of a slave’s. I managed to drag myself away from the ambience of the kitchen and headed straight to my room. As soon as I got in, I heaved a silent sigh of relief.Finally, I'm going to rest my back on my little iron bed. Though there was no foam on my bunk bed, it was better than nothing.But then, before
**Alana's POV**As soon as I got to class, the bell rang for the first subject. Sh*t! It was chemistry class and I'll be having a test. I can't afford to get any more late.Just as I was rushing to class, I suddenly bumped into someone.“Ouch!” I quickly looked up only to see Stephan. Instantly, a smile spread across my face.“Stephan!” I called with so much relief. He's the only one who actually cares for me in the whole pack.“You're late Alana. You need to get to class so you can take the test.”“Yes,” I replied.“Well, well, well. Who do we have here,” the familiar voice immediately made the blood in my vein run cold.I slowly turned around only to see my worst enemy, Rachel, and the triplets behind her. Instantly I felt sick to my stomach. Why are they here so soon?“Stephan, don't tell me you actually have a thing for this slave, do you?” Jayden asked as he walked towards us. Meanwhile, the others folded their hands and stared at me with an evil smirk on their faces.Currently,
***Alana's POV***After spending the rest of the afternoon with Stephan at our secret place, I decided to head back to the pack house.Getting there, I was relieved to know the Alpha is not in the pack. He hated the very sight of me, probably because of my father, who used to be the Alpha of the Rising Moon Pack.I should go see my mom in the private infirmary where she's kept. Though the Alpha gave a rule for no one to visit his Luna and that included me, her daughter. But then, I always find my way to my mother's bedside.My mom has been in a coma for three years now, ever since our original pack was invaded and my mother was saved because she happened to be the second-chance mate of the Alpha of Blood Rose Pack.Just as I was about heading to her room, I unknowingly walked in on Rachel and the triplets having sex in the mini parlor which was specially made for them.Shit!I turned around with my back against them. My heart was thumping heavily, especially when I heard Rachel's loud
**Alana's POV**“Why do you bother asking her all these questions, Jayden. It's obvious that she has gone somewhere!” Caden said aloud with anger filled eyes.Jayden moved closer to me, while I shivered badly.He grabbed me by the hair and sniffed my scent.“Why do I smell a strange scent on you? This is not your scent. Tell me who you have met?!” Jayden thundered at the top of his voice.“No one! Please let me go!” I tried to push off his hand which he was dragging my hair with.“You fucking sl*t!” Caden thundered as he came closer to me as well.“She smells like another pack. Do you think she's seeing someone from another pack?”“I guess she is. The fact that she's crying and pleading is an indication that she's up to something!” Aiden added.Tears ran down my cheeks when they said this. I'm so dead. I can't let them find out that I had been with Stephan. If they find out about that, they'll surely have Stephan killed. I can't afford that.“How dare you look us in the face and lie t
**Alana's POV**“How can this be nothing? It's obvious what they did to you. Why are you suddenly defending them?”“Stephan, you should know that I'm not. I just don't want to get you in trouble,” I said, with my gaze facing downwards. Tears clogged my eyes, but I don't want him to see me cry.“Sh*t! Until when are they going to abuse their power? How dare they hurt you?!”Stephan snapped. I looked up at him only to see him boiling with anger, his hand folded into a tight fist.“Someone has got to deal with them mercilessly.”I quickly scurried towards Stephan.“Stephan, I understand the fact that you're upset but please, I beg you, do not do anything. I know you're upset because of me, but I would rather not see you get hurt,” I burst into tears.They have threatened that they are going to kill whoever they find trying to help me. This is the reason I remained quiet even though they were questioning me badly. There's no way I'll give in and let my boyfriend suffer.“Alana, please don
**Aiden's POV**My brothers and I just got back from the club only to see Rachel standing outside the pack house with hands folded on her chest. From her expression, she kinda look pissed for reasons I can't tell.“Caden, why is Rachel here at this time of the night?” Jayden asked.“How the f*ck would I know? We all just came back from the club. She's probably here to get f*cked!” Caden said with a light chuckle. Just as we arrived at the entrance of the pack house, Rachel obstructed us from going in.“What the f*ck do you think you're doing, Rachel?”“Why don't you f*cking explain to me where you're all coming from at this time of the night?” She questioned sternly.“And how the h*ll has that got to do with you, huh?" I asked, in irritation.“What? Is this how you play me? I've been waiting for you all to get back all evening. Wait a minute, you went to the club right? And you f*cking carried those dirty sl*ts, didn't you?”“Good thing you're wise enough to know we carried some sl*ts
