**Aiden's POV**It's been another fruitless year without our mate. At this point, my brothers and I have become desperate, longing for our mate. Our wolves were on the verge of going feral. There's not a pack we haven't searched, but still found no trace of her.“Brother, how about we hunt down the rogues? Since she's originally a rogue, I'm sure she wouldn't want her fellow rogues to get hurt because of her,” Caden suggested."I like your suggestion. However, at this point, we might prefer to tread carefully, knowing whatever we do might just end up making our mate hate us more.”“What do you propose we do then, brother? I wouldn't deny the fact that I've run out of options. There's got to be something we can do to make her come back to us,” Jayden said impatiently.I understand my brothers and the reason they are anxious. To be honest, I had run out of options as well. But then I'm just trying to be careful, so I don't end up making Alana more upset or make her hate me.While we wer
**Alana's POV***“Alana, so you're the Alpha of the rogues?” At first, I had thought I was going to pass out from anxiety but when I realized the position I held, I know that this isn't a time to be scared but a time for me to show everyone that I'm precisely what they say I am.“You're right. I am the Alpha of the rogues, and I was just informed that you'll be joining hands with the Gray Moon pack to battle with me.”The triplets all took quick glances at one another and then back at me.“I think there's a mix-up somewhere. You're not a rogue leader, Alana. Now that we've found you, why don't you come back with us?” Aiden said, moving close to me, but I dashed away from him. When he saw this, he paused and retracted his hand. He should have known that I wouldn't come with him because he said I should.“Alphas, you've got to help us. These rogues barged in here to steal a pack member.”“Liar!” Daisy yelled out in annoyance.“A pack member you say. Do you even regard her as one? If you
**Alana's POV*What the fuck was Aiden saying? How could he reveal that in front of everyone?"What? Alpha Aiden, I don't think I understand what you mean, both the Alpha of the Gray Moon pack and his son asked, looking confused.“Well, you must not know, but Alana here is our mate whom we have been searching for years now. You do not intend for me to get rid of our very own mate, do you?”When he said the words, I heard a loud gasp in the hall.But this isn't what I wanted. There's no way I'm accepting them.“Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, Alphas of the Blood Rose Pack. I'm certain you noticed that there's no longer a bond between us.”There she goes again. I moved closer to her," Alana, I know you want nothing to do with us, but then, you don't expect us to be without a mate."“I'm not telling you to be without one. There's Tiffany and also Ciara. I'm sure those two will make fine Lunas. You know one can make a mate out of anyone of their choice. The moon goddess isn't against i
**Alana's POV**I looked in the direction of Daisy. Now that it has come to this, I would like to make my decision, but I need to ask her opinion first.“Tell me, Daisy, are you sure you want to leave now? I mean, you just found out he's your mate, and he's given you reason why he treated you the way he did. So, are you going to accept him?”“How can I accept him? He tortured me to the point I had to run away. Alpha, tell me, if you had been in my shoes, would you have wanted to stay with a mate who did nothing but bully you the moment he found out what you are mated to him?”I stepped forward this time to make my reasons known. “If you ask me this, then I only have one reply to give. What is the need of being with an Alpha who causes you nothing but pain? So, if I were to be in your shoes, Daisy, I would make the decision you just made.”When I said this, the room was filled with murmuring. What did they expect? That I was going to let Daisy stay with her undeserving mate?Just then,
**Caden's POV***I can't believe just how much Alana had changed. When I saw her talking to the Alpha of the Gray Moon pack, I was greatly dumbfounded. I had never expected to see her command such authority when she's not even Luna yet.It saddens me, she has refused to have anything to do with us. She must hate us more than I had thought she did. To make matters worse, what happened to Daisy was the same thing we did to her, and for some reason, I believe that was the reason she was adamant about letting Daisy stay back with the Alpha.“What the fuck! I still can't believe our mate is now the leader of the rogues, commanding such power. And did any of you feel there's something off about her wolf when she yelled out in rage?" Jayden asked, looking at me and Aiden.I didn't know what to say, to be honest. The recent incident still had me in a shocked state. Aiden, on the other hand, seemed to have been hit hard as well. He has been silent ever since Alana walked away from us.This was
Alana's POV***He could have threatened me with anything else, and I'm sure I'll be prepared to fight it out with him. But when it comes to my mom, there's no way I'll be able to fight. She's my weakness.There's no way I can bear it if anything bad were to happen to her, especially when I become the reason for her misery.“If that's what you want, I'll do as you say. But you must not hurt her!”“Alpha, you can't go to the Blood Rose Pack alone. I think it's time we all head for the Blood Rose pack and rescue our Luna.”James stated, but I shook my head. He does not know what the triplets are capable of. Even though the odds seem promising and in my favor, there's no way I want to gamble on my mother's life.I mean, what's the entire essence of doing all this if my mom is to die because of me?"I turned my gaze towards James. I know that he'll be disappointed in me, but there is a limit to things and my mom is my limit. There's no way I'm letting them hurt, even a hair on her head.“J
***Alana's POV*I should have known this was bound to take place, and I have been ready for this day, knowing it'll surely come.“What did you just say?” The bully asked.“I think I heard the rogue call her Alpha,” another interpreted.“No way! Did she go back to the slums where she originally belonged?”I scoffed at their statement. Presently, nothing about what they say scares me anymore. It seems I'm the only one who has grown up over the years.“What the fuck is going on here?” The thunderous voice of Aiden echoed in the air, and this made them all cower in fright.Cowards they are and will always be!I turned around to face Aiden and my other mates, who only arrived at the scene now.“Well, your pack members don't seem to believe the fact that I am Alpha. Why don't you prove it to them by calling me my title?” I asked the triplets with my chin held high.I heard a loud gasp from the crowd. They must be wondering that I was being too daring. I looked at the triplets to see their r
**Alana's POV***“Alana, haven't we apologized for our shortcomings? Why do you still hold such a grudge against us?”“Because you all kept repeating the same thing!”“Okay, let's say we understand why you had to leave. Tell us, how did you survive these years without our help? How did you end up with the rogues?” Aiden asked.Still the same senseless questions I do not want to find answers to, but then, I realize that they only wanted to know how I was faring."What do you think? I don't think you understand I was originally a rogue from the Rising Moon Pack. It is only right for me to build back the pack your father destroyed. And please keep in mind, your father murdered mine. I still haven't settled on that score!”“Alana, when will you let this go? We understand that it's painful to know that the father of your mates murdered your dad. Just give us a chance, and we will pay for his crimes by doing the things you want us to do.” Aiden said in a slow tone.It's rare to see him this
