Martha

As I sifted through the files on my desk, a throbbing headache pulsed in my temple. I gently massaged it with my left hand, trying to find some relief.

The pack account statements needed my attention, and I couldn't afford to leave them unattended. It was a weekly routine that fell on my shoulders since no one else would take care of it.

Just as I delved into the second pile of documents, a knock on my door interrupted my concentration. "Come in," I replied, my gaze barely lifting as the person entered. It turned out to be one of the servants.

"Luna, I wanted to inform you that Alpha Lucian has returned," the servant said politely, instantly grabbing my interest.

My fingers froze on the document sheet I was about to turn over. Lucian is back? How peculiar. Blinking away my thoughts, I refocused on the waiting servant, forcing a smile.

“Thank you for telling me,” he bowed and left.

I slumped in my chair, my heart heavy with frustration and resentment. It had been days since Lucian vanished, leaving a void that seemed impossible to fill. His disregard for anyone's thoughts or feelings pierced me like a thousand needles, a constant reminder of his selfishness.

The weight of his absence gnawed at my soul, fueling a fiery anger that threatened to consume me. He had forsaken his duty as an Alpha, abandoning his responsibilities with an air of authoritarian indifference. It was a bitter pill to swallow, knowing that the one meant to protect and guide us had become a symbol of betrayal.

I let out a heavy sigh, the weight of the day consuming me. I set the pen down, closing the documents. Thoughts of Lucian filled my mind, but amidst the stress, my thoughts drifted to a different realm. Alex.

Just two days ago, I asked him to tail Lucian, a simple task that held a hidden desire. The memory of our passionate encounter lingers, igniting a fire within me. His touch, his gaze, the way he made me feel—sensual and intoxicating.

As I lean back in my chair, I can't help but yearn for more.

The forbidden allure of our connection dances in my thoughts, tempting me to explore uncharted territories. I remember the way our bodies moved together, the intensity of his hold, and the undeniable chemistry we shared.

Regret lingers in my heart as I pushed him away, but now, the desire for his touch consumes me once again. I should have let him fuck me till I couldn't use my legs to walk back home.

As I scolded myself once again, the weight of my forbidden desires grew heavier.

The allure of Alex, so young and tempting, tugged at my thoughts. But I couldn't succumb to such reckless acts. My loyalty to Lucian and the consequences of infidelity held me back.

The age difference made it feel wrong, and the fleeting pleasure would only lead to more pain.

Lucian's dominance and possessiveness were not to be underestimated. I couldn't risk his wrath or someone's life for a momentary affair. So, I pushed Alex aside and focused on what truly mattered.

I could feel the anger bubbling inside me, fueling my determination to get the answers I deserved. "Don't you dare dismiss me like that, Lucian," I snapped, my voice laced with frustration. "I may be your Luna, but that doesn't mean I don't deserve honesty and respect. So, I'll ask you again, where have you been?"

Lucian's eyes narrowed, a flicker of irritation crossing his face. "You think you have the right to question me?" he retorted, his voice dripping with condescension.

"Yes, I do!" I shot back, my voice trembling with a mix of anger and hurt. "We're supposed to be partners, Lucian. Partners who communicate and trust each other. But lately, it feels like I'm just a burden to you."

He sighed, his expression softening slightly. "Martha, there are things I can't share with you right now. It's for your own safety."

I scoffed, my anger intensifying. "Safety? Is that what you call it? Leaving me in the dark, wondering where my own husband has been? That's not safety, Lucian. That's betrayal."

His gaze softened, a hint of regret in his eyes. "I never wanted to hurt you, Martha. But there are forces at play that you can't understand."

"Well, maybe it's time you start trusting me enough to let me in," I replied, my voice filled with determination. "I deserve to know the truth, Lucian. No more secrets."

Lucian's determined gaze shifted away as he spoke, "Don't worry, just focus on taking care of Star. This will all be over soon." Frustration boiled within me, and I couldn't hold back any longer.

"Do you even know what the Pack members are saying about you? And about me?!" I practically screamed, clinging to the last bit of sanity. "They're talking about how your new taxes and laws are cruel. They're calling you evil. Now they're expecting me to fix the mess you created all by yourself! What's your problem?! Seriously, what's going on? If there's something you're not telling me, please share. I'm sick and tired of these complaints. Let's tackle the problem together and restore stability in the pack." My voice cracked towards the end, drained and emotionally spent.

I just want things to go back to normal, even if there's animosity between us.

Lucian's rage boiled over, his words lashing out at me. "Keep your mouth shut! You were a good Luna before, never questioning me. Figure out what's wrong with you!" He stormed out, slamming the door with a force that nearly broke it.

I collapsed onto the bed, stunned and exhausted. His anger only confirmed my suspicions that he was hiding something. I can't continue living in ignorance.

    MarthaI held onto the knife tightly, slicing the apple and putting the pieces in a small container. Then, I made a sandwich with wheat bread, adding bologna, cheese, tomato, cabbage, and onion, and topped it with an olive on a toothpick. Despite keeping busy with breakfast, I still felt restless. I couldn't distract myself from the Pack's problems, but I didn't want to overwhelm myself with them either.“Mm…mom, breakfast smells good,” I whipped my head to the side, smiling when I saw my daughter, Star, beaming up at me. “It’s a…lot,” she chuckled and I stared down at the table filled with food. In my effort of productivity, I might have gone overboard and cooked a whole truckload of food for breakfast.I just shrugged. “It’s fine. If we can’t finish it up, we’ll pack it up, alright? I made your lunch as well,” I assured her and she smiled even wider, before walking up to me and kissing me on the cheek whilst standing on her tiptoes. “You’re the best,”My heart warmed up at her compl

    AlexI leaned back in my beat-up red Chevy, shades on my nose, keeping a watchful eye on the intimidating man from a distance. Tailing Alpha Lucian was no walk in the park. He was sly like a fox, covering his tracks with precision. But after years of being on the run, I've become quite the expert. Nothing fazes me anymore. I'm like a shadow, blending into the darkness.I was born into a pack of werewolves, down south where rules were strict and suffocating. The tradition was everything, passed down from generation to generation. But I never bought into it. Emotions were seen as weakness, but I believed it was all a ploy to control us. I played along when I had to, but deep down, I knew there had to be more to life than blind obedience. I never fit in with anyone, both from my age group and up nor even from my parents. Having sympathy and love for others was called a sign of weakness and that’s what they all said I was. Weak.Moving into different states and different packs was a str

    Martha It seemed surreal, like I was watching a movie. Seeing those photos jolted something in me, that made it seem like I was having an out-of-body experience. It was very unreasonable and heartbreaking to me, not because I was so in love with Lucian, but because he was a self-centered, egotistical maniac that I had to put up with. "I can't believe he's comfortable living with all these lies," I muttered angrily. I regret the day I said yes to marrying Lucian. I was blinded by attraction and infatuation, unable to see his true colors. He pretended to care, but it was all about sex. Naively, I thought it was love, not realizing it was just a physical connection between us.“Luna, what would you like for dinner?” One of the maids, Val, came in with courtesy as she asked me. “Get started on some cheesecake for Star. I would like a light casserole with some baguettes on the side and for dessert, chocolate cake?” I said, not quite focused on the order I was giving, but Val seemed to g

    AlexI lay awake in bed, the morning sun casting its warm glow upon my face. I couldn't bring myself to rise and close the curtains, too lost in my thoughts of Martha. She was a captivating enigma, radiating confidence yet harboring softer vulnerabilities. Her fierce gaze when she paid me off still sends shivers down my spine.Despite her cold exterior, my desire for her only grew stronger, knowing that it was a defense mechanism. When she confessed her attraction to me, I had to restrain myself from taking her right then and there on the café table. It took immense willpower to resist.But here lies the problem—I've become too entangled in her web. She made it clear she wants nothing romantic or physical with me, even demanding I leave the Pack. It's only fair to divert my focus, but it's proving to be a greater challenge than expected.Her presence consumed my every thought, even in the darkest of fantasies. I couldn't help but wonder how she was faring, what she had done with the s

    Martha"You can't deny it, Lucian. The proof is right in front of you. I can't believe you'd lie to me like this," I said, feeling a surge of anger and hurt.“Yeah, so what? You can obviously see that it’s Jasmine in the picture. It isn’t rocket science, do the math,” he tried to downplay it, once again making me look like the foolish one. But once he saw the stern, unwavering look on my face, he faltered a bit. "Just admit it, you're cheating with Jasmine. This is a big deal and you can't just brush it off," I insisted, wanting him to understand the impact of his actions."Okay, fine. Yes, I'm with Jasmine, but let's not blow it out of proportion, alright? It's just temporary, so relax," he said, trying to downplay the situation.But his casual attitude only fueled my anger. "Temporary? Relax? Are you serious? Your actions have consequences, not just for us, but for everyone involved! You're neglecting your responsibilities as a husband, father, and Alpha," I exclaimed, my frustratio

    AlexMy heart filled with a mix of fury and concern as I witnessed the horrifying scene unfold before my eyes. The anger inside me threatened to consume me as I saw him forcefully grip Martha's delicate neck, depriving her of breath.Though I couldn't hear her cries, I could imagine the sound of her desperate pleas echoing in my mind. The sight of him slamming her against the wall intensified my fury, tempting me to intervene. I secured my doors, fastened my seatbelt tightly, hoping these precautions would somehow protect me from the escalating situation with Lucian.My blood boiled with righteous anger, unable to fathom what I was witnessing. How could any man, let alone an Alpha, lay a hand on his woman? It defied all logic and decency.Though I suspected their altercation stemmed from his infidelity, I had no interest in delving into the specifics. No justification could excuse his mistreatment of Martha. None at all.It briefly crossed my mind if Lucian's behavior was due to their

    MarthaI woke up the next morning, my mind still fixated on that one name, Alex. I couldn't help but glance over at the window, hoping to catch a glimpse of him, but alas, he was nowhere to be found. Reality hit me, reminding me that my romantic fantasies were just that - fantasies.I couldn't expect him to spend the night in his car or whisk me away on a romantic adventure. It was a harsh reminder of my own longing for love and the disappointment that often followed. My past experiences had left me yearning for affection, turning me into a hopeless romantic, longing for something that seemed elusive.But hey, who knows what the future holds? Maybe one day, my delusional puppy-like optimism will lead me to a love that surpasses my wildest dreams. Until then, I'll keep hoping and maybe even enjoy the journey along the way.I flipped my phone over, hoping to see a text from Alex, but there was nothing. No call, no message. After that night he texted me, I had this lingering hope that

    MarthaIt was like I was witnessing the most gruesome war I have ever seen in all my life. Even when we werewolves go out to hunt, even when we attack hunters who threaten our territory, it was never like this.The battlefield was bloody, smoke mixed with ashes with the putrid smell of blood filled the air and also my nose.Everywhere I looked, there was an unpleasant sight to see. I found comrades and enemies alike getting cut down and massacred with no mercy.It made my chest twist a little, but this fight was necessary. It was needed, if we wanted to get free from the clutches of both Alpha Fenrir and Lucian finally.“Don’t show the enemy any mercy! Fight and push your way through! For Nether Moon!” Alex shouted somewhere on the field and I had to look away as he plunged his hand through an unlucky man, ripping his heart out.“For Nether Moon!” They cried out in response and it seemed like that little boost was what they needed to build their confidence once more.I would say, I w

    AlexAfter Star and Martha reconciled, we spent a day at Red Moon before coming back here, to Nether Moon.It was a very emotional moment for mother and daughter, as well as the people of Red Moon, but we couldn’t have stayed back there, without tackling the remaining issues still on ground.I put Geri in charge of supervision and he took the leadership role in place of Lucian since he was the perfect candidate to do so.Not only did he work under Lucian diligently, but he is very learned and informed about how Red Moon worked, more than I ever would, which was an added benefit.It also helped that he was well liked in the Pack, so I knew I made the right choice. Even Martha agreed with me on it.Right now, Martha and I were in the huge office of our Nether Moon mansion, going through the files and documents that Morgan had compiled earlier.“It’s not enough. All this evidence is not enough, Alpha Fenrir will still find a way to break through the case,” I groaned, tossing the papers i

    MarthaAs Alex delivered the truth, there was pure and utter silence, one could even hear a pin drop. They all looked baffled and shocked by their Alpha’s evil deeds and even Star was in disbelief.“D-dad? Please say something. Tell them all their accusations aren’t true, please,” I heard her whisper and my heart completely shattered.The fact that she still had faith in Lucian, despite all the crumbs of disgusting things she herself has witnessed, but clinging on to the remaining hope she had left, was very…sad.Lucian gritted his teeth and stared down at the ground, but he didn’t say anything, confirming everyone else’s suspicions, if they had any.“There you have it,” Alex clapped drily. “This man has served you all for over eighteen years, doing all of these wicked deeds, for his selfish reasons!”This riled up the crowd as they began to yell and cry out expletives at Lucian, cursing him over and over again.“Kill him!”“We don’t need someone like him anymore!”“Off with his head!

    AlexI found Lucian in his study, sifting through files with a frown on his face, oblivious to the attacks outside the house, like I had expected him to.“I knew you would be here,” I sneered at him, slowly walking into the study, revealing myself. He looked so startled to see me, it was laughable. I could see a bunch of emotions flicker through his face, but he settled on the one that was most familiar. Hate.“You,” he glowered. “What are you doing here? How did you bypass my security?”I snorted, opening the door to show the piles of men laying down on the cemented floor, unconscious. “These men?”He gritted his teeth, but he didn’t say anything.“Now, I’m sure that you know why I’m here. Surrender your Pack now, or otherwise, I will take it from you the hard way,” I simply told him, paving up and down the office.“And if I don’t?”I grinned. Oh, it would be so much fun to smash his face in without any more distractions.There was silence for a while, before a roar brought my atten

    MarthaThe cool morning breeze attacked my skin like pins. I wanted nothing more than to go back home and curl into the king-sized bed, but this was it. Finally, the time for retaliation has come.Alex noticed my silence and intertwined his fingers with mine, squeezing my hand tightly. I managed a weak smile and stared down at the town in front of me.It was strange. The one place I thought to be my home, was the one keeping me restrained, was the one place where I couldn’t be who I wanted to be because I was afraid of the public view of me.Now that I’ve experienced a taste of freedom, a taste of peace and happiness, I’m ready to close that chapter of my life. Even if it means storming down and declaring war right at this moment.So, standing by the border of Red Moon Pack, with an army of over four hundred, I felt confident and more sure of myself than I’ve ever been in a while. I squeezed Alex’s hand back and stared deeply in his eyes.“I’m ready,” I simply told him and those two w

    AlexAfter the news Kai came to drop, I made sure the training, as well as the defenses were high. There was barely any time for me or my men to rest, but it was needed. Lucian and Fenrir were threatening us, holding both Geri and Star hostage and using that to gain an advantage over us. I wasn’t going to take that lightly.“Argh! Gyah!” Grunts were heard from all angles on the training field. Instead of creating dummies to use as target practice, I made them all face each other, to improve their skills and abilities.It was quite stressful and frustrating at times since I had over four hundred men to supervise and train at the same time, but I managed in the best way I could.It also helped to have Savage and Kai helping as well, otherwise, I would have snapped and fucked them this up on several occasions.The training took a huge toll on both my body and mind. I was barely at home and the times when I was, I was worn out of my mind to give Martha my time.We found a way to make it

    MarthaA couple of days passed after the conversation I had with Alex. We came to the decision that after the whole thing settles down, we’ll be able to buy the bookshop and turn it into a public library.But for now, we wait. And waiting was draining the soul out of me.Being pregnant again, to the love of my life, was one of the greatest things to happen to me. Just knowing that I was carrying my mate’s child, brings tears to my eyes every time. I'd only been able to dream of this all my life, but now I’m living in my fantasy world. Still, I couldn’t help but be mildly irritated by the way people around me treated me, especially Alex. Everyone was tiptoeing around me, treating me as if I were delicate and could shatter easily.I get it, their intentions were kind, but sometimes it felt overwhelming. I was just pregnant, not fragile.“Have you thought about buying the baby clothes yet? Your pup will pop out sooner than you expect,” I laid back in bed as Sara sat in front of me on th

    AlexI looked up at the slowly rising sun, enjoying the cool breeze fanning against my skin like a gentle caress. I looked at my army of women and men alike, who were all standing at attention, waiting for what I would do.“To your positions!” I yelled out, splitting the silence.Without any hesitation, they all walked forward, standing in front of the positioned targets right in front of them that they would need for practice.“These are your enemies! I want to see how you’ll attack when you see them! Use all your might and force! As soon as you bring your target down to the ground, proceed to the next obstacle,” I explained.Grunts and cries filled the air as they attacked the dummy target in front of them with all their might. As easy as it sounded, I made sure that it was nearly impossible for them to take it down.I had discussed with a few of the most skilled craftsmen to create the dummies, so that I’ll be able to test their endurance.All these rogues, or should I call them sol

    MarthaMatthew came back to the dining room alone, looking around. “Where’s Alpha Alex?” He asked.I shrugged and looked around as well. He left the room without telling me where he was going, so I didn’t know where he could possibly be in this big house.“I don’t know, he didn’t say,” I told him. “But I’m sure that he’ll be back soon,” “Okay. Can you tell him to come and meet me when he’s back. I’ll be in my study. It’s in the hallway to the right, on the third door,” He informed me, walking briskly.I nodded. After a while, I went to the living room and found Sara sitting on one of the couches dejectedly. I wondered why. I barely saw her at the coronation, so why was she in this mood?“Hey,” I greeted, sitting beside her on the cream colored couch.“Hey,” she responded without feeling. “What’s wrong? I didn’t even see you during the coronation and at the party. Did something happen?” I asked worriedly. It was odd seeing her this quiet.“More like, what didn’t happen,” she muttere
