LUNA AND THE MONSTER'S SON Elina's pov
Just immediately, we got in front of my father's house. I peered through the small gate and saw my father seated with some elders. This is a big problem for me. I can't knock at the gate. I can't be seen by anyone else in this territory except my family. If anyone sees me, they might throw stones at me. I was warned by the elders never to step foot again in the territory and to talk more about entering the pack house. I told Mateo that this wouldn't work, but he insisted; now see what is happening."Ok, I have heard what you all have said. If giving him the land my father bought from his father would make him allow us into his territory, I would do that. I will do it for the sake of my people. I can't continue to watch them die when I could save them." My father said to the three elders as they walked towards the gate.They stopped for a while, and I strained my ear a little more to hear what they were discussing."Alpha Leo is a very stubborn man. If you give him back that land and h

He turned back, looking like someone who saw his own death coming."What?" His mouth gaped open.He opened the gate and walked toward me. He yanked my shoulders and dragged me with him inside our compound. His grip on me was so tight and painful that I winced aloud.Dad, please, your hands hurt; take it easy on me. Release your grip on me." I pleaded.He remained silent while he locked the gate. My father is one of those people who keeps fingernails. The nails were really hurting me. Somehow I was happy; at least I have stepped foot inside our compound after about eight months.My mom was in one corner, looking at how my dad had dragged me like a thief. My baby was crying, and there was nothing I could do. My mother wanted to rush to us immediately when sheMy dad looked at her in a manner that suggested she shouldn't dare come close."Woman! Come over here!" He called out my mom while making pointed speeches to alleviate his anger.His deep voice was scarier than his face. He shove

I left the house all sobbing. I feel terrible for having tried to come at all. The words my dad used against me are hurting me a lot, and my heart aches. I wouldn't have listened to Mateo. My instincts told me my father wouldn't help me. How do I get a cab? I don't have enough money on me. I thought I could collect some money from my mother, but my dad didn't even allow her to have any form of private conversation with me.I have walked for what seems like miles, yet no taxi driver has passed us. My baby is damn too heavy, and even his food bag is beginning to hurt me. I became scared as I walked alone on the road. We have left our own territory and are very close to the junction that links all the four territories together. I'm more scared because I could run into Alpha Leo or any of his guards."Hei Miss!" A voice called out.I continued to walk fast and ignored it."Hold on, wait, wait!" The voice continued, and I didn't want to look back. I began to run with my baby."Who coul

Guards, guards, guards! My father screamed aloud while his eyes turned red. "Take me to Alpha Leo!" He said to them with a deep tone. Dad, please, I want to join you so that I can find my way from there." I pleaded with him and was surprised when he nodded his head at me. "No one can see you; you have to go back!" He said that to me. My mom wouldn't stop crying for me, and my brother felt pity on me. If he found a way to lift off the pains I carry on my shoulders, I am sure he would do that. I miss him a lot, and unfortunately, I may not step foot in the compound again. Once I find my son, I will go far away to a place where no one can see or hear me. "I am a cursed child, according to my dad. I have disgraced myself and my entire family. I feel empty without my son, and I hope we find him soon." I thought as I cried. On getting to the pack house, I saw guards standing with their guns around the gate. We continued to horn, but no one looked at us. The gateman was just sitting the

One year laterIt has been a year now, and I haven't heard a word or seen my parents. My son is nowhere to be found. My parents have all forgotten me. Mateo has been my source of strength and motivation to stay alive. My father tried his best, at least, to look for my son. Alpha Leo stood his ground and said he wasn't with my baby. All I wish now is that, if my son is dead, at least let me have his dead body."What are you doing out here, Seated all alone?" A voice asked from behind. I looked, and it was Mateo. I was so lost in thoughts that I barely noticed his aura or anything."I have been standing at your back for more than 24 hours now. My love, why are you still bothering yourself with this when I have pleaded with you to move on already?"I'm trying my best. I miss my son a lot. My motherly instincts keep telling me that he is still alive. I can feel it in my heart and am very certain of it." I said to him."It has been one whole year; you have to stop feeling this way. You hav

It's been a year, and the werewolf community is still searching for the solution to unmask the beast. There have been over 200 deaths recorded so far, and a lot of people are beginning to flee from the community. Most were killed by this beast while fleeing, and some were lucky to escape.The fate of the entire community lies in the hands of the ruthless alpha, alpha Leo of the Moonstar pack, who has sworn that unless his rival enemy, alpha Valeria of the Shadow Moonpacks, comes to him and begs and gives him the land that his late father bought from him, only then can he allow them to come into his territory to inquire of the sorcerer about the solution to finding a way of killing the monster.Alpha Valeria, Elina's father, has forgotten everything about his banished daughter. He has moved on and didn't try enough to find his daughter's son. Everyone in his pack has moved on and forgotten about their future luna, who was banished from their territory two years ago. Nobody is talking a

author's povTwo weeks have passed, and Alpha Leo is still bent on his conditions. He is rather seated in his lobby with a glass of expensive red wine, all happy with himself. Things are going as he had envisioned them in his head. He is happy to have taken over a land property from his rival. To him, he is the Alpha of all the Alphas."Cheers to my wins! Cheers to a new beginning! Cheers to victory!" He laughed out loud, laying one of his hands over his heart."I am the great Alpha of the Moonstar pack. I have everyone and everything under my control. The entire city depends on me. This is my desire. This is how I wanted my father's regime to be. My father failed. He was weak and way too easy for people to dash in and out of his life. I can't and will never permit that. His eyes squinted."In your next damn miserable life, you wouldn't dare, my Valeria! I told you I knew exactly how to get at you. I have basically taken all that mattered to you. Your daughter should probably be somew

author's pov"You are driving me crazy with your silence. You wouldn't say a word to me. This has become more serious than I had thought." She sighed and left his presence."Have you noticed any changes about your dad lately?" She asked his son.Yes, mom, I have been very uncomfortable about it. I was actually coming to your room to discuss that with you; thanks for being here now, mom." He said this to his mom while dragging her hand, and both went inside the store room.Mum, the land Alpha Leo took away from Dad is what I think is really eating him. He hardly smiles these days, and he doesn't come out of the lobby again, unlike before. Mum, do you know there is a pack patrol coming up next week? And the rehearsal is ongoing, and I haven't seen dad come around unlike in the past." He harrumphed and paused a bit before he continued: "You know how Dad loves to joke with kids, and all children from two years old will be partaking in this. Some parents come with their kids for the rehear

"Is she aware already?" One of the elders whispered in Alpha Lorenzo's ear. Unfortunately, I heard him. "What is he talking about? Am I aware of what?" I was perplexed.. "Please accept our apology. If you can forgive me and your father, then you can forgive all of us." My father pleaded. Mateo looked at me. And gave me a sign to accept their apologies. "I have forgiven you all." They started to come closer to me one after the other, hugging and shaking hands with me. A few minutes later,after the drinks and food were shared, Alpha Lorenzo stood up and came a little closer to where I was seated. "My daughter, you are blessed, and we are lucky to have you in our midst. We all thought you were dead. We have searched for you for more than 6 months now, and we couldn't find you. All thanks to the moon goddess for bringing you back to us." He smiled before looking at the elders. Everyone was waving at him; they all made faces that suggested a go ahead. I became more curious to learn th

"I am scared, Mateo. Do you think they will listen to me? Do you think my father will welcome me?""You have to calm down, my love. The moon goddess knows what she is doing. If you are the chosen one to save the wolf community, then no harm will come to you. The moon goddess will protect you and help you fulfill your destiny.""I am not sure I am ready for that. I am not sure I want to do that for the people who banished me. I am here because I want to seek answers to the mark on our palms. I am not sure I am willing to help them.""Also, now we are very close to my house. No one can find out your true identity. They might hurt you if they find out that you are the monster's son. "Please, on no account, should you disclose it to anyone." I warned him."Why is there no one on the street? Why is there so much silence? This is quite strange.""You worry too much, Elina! "Let us get to the pack house first." He exclaimed.We approached my compound. I peeked through the gate, and I couldn'

"We have to visit your community; we have to leave this place!" He exclaimed, nodding his head."Why did you change your mind? You have never supported me each time I mentioned anything like visiting my community. You have never failed to remind me how wicked they are and how Alpha Leo would kill me. Please tell me why you changed your mind." I asked curiously."My love, just a few minutes ago we saw the golden sign again on our hands. We need an explanation for that. We have to be brave and go to your father. He may have an explanation.""Not just the symbol on our palm, my love, I had a dream again. This time it was very clear, and I don't know how to say this to you."What is it? Please, you know there is nothing you can't tell me, right? I am very curious. "Please tell me." He pleaded while holding my hands.I took a deep breath before removing my hands from his. I folded my hands around my chest and turned my back on him. My heart began to beat fast, and my feet suddenly became c

"You are still here! Why are you stalking me?" Was I not clear when I told you to stay away from me?" I yelled at him while I looked away."I have been at the river.""What! "Don't tell me you spent the night at the river.""Yes, I spent the night at the river. I can't live on your side. Allow me to protect you from my mother. Give me this one more time to prove to you that I am nothing close to my mother.""Stop calling her your mother; use the right word: monster." "Your mother is a deadly monster." I snarled."You are correct. She is not and will never be my mother. In fact, I am not going back to that house. I will stay here with you until we figure out where else to go. Please don't turn your back on me. Believe me when I say I didn't know she was the monster.""Have you gone crazy? You and I know the implications. Your mother would never rest until you returned to her, and she would kill anyone that stood in her way. Please, you have to go back to her.""There is no way I am goi

"My Alphas, the worst has happened. Abomination! Abomination!" One of the guards shouted."What is the problem? What abomination are you talking about? One of the elders questioned him curiously."Where is Alpha Leo? We have been here for over two hours this morning, and he is still around. He is basically the only one yet to be present." Alpha Lorenzo snarled."Let the young man speak!" He requested."My Alpha, Alpha Leo, was found lifeless in his chambers, and as we speak, all the guards and domestic staff have all run away.""What do you mean he is lying lifeless?" I spoke with him two days ago. "What happened to him?"Everyone seated at the town hall began to murmur. Some were looking happy, as if they actually wanted something bad to fall on him. Some people who sat at the back all came forward to clearly hear what the guard had to say about Alpha Leo."Everyone shouldn't be. Please go back and let's hear what he has to say. There is no need to crowd him. "If we can keep quiet, n

"You have to stay away from me. Just so you know, I don't believe anything you say. You are the monster's son that the entire wolf kingdom has tirelessly searched for over the years. You are the son of the monster that took my only son away from me. How could I have not noticed that my boyfriend is the son of the beast that has killed and is still killing the werewolves?""Stay away from me, and don't come any closer to me!" I snarled, grabbing a long stick in my hand to hit him in case he tried to touch me."I am innocent; I am just as surprised as you are. I don't know how else to convince you that I have no idea who my mother was. How would I want to hurt you? You have known me for two years now. You saw how interested I was in helping you locate this beast that hurt your son. I never knew she was the masked monster the entire Wolf Kingdom is looking for." He knelt down and let out a loud cry."You have to leave now. I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. I can't mar

"Where could she have gone to? I have searched thoroughly everywhere in the compound, but there is no trace of her, not even her scent." I pondered while sitting on the couch outside. "Now this is another opportunity for me to sneak out to go visit Elina. I am sure Mom is safe, and she probably must be at the clinic." A thought pushed through my mind as I had a fluttery, empty feeling in my stomach. I stood up and smiled. I feel a twinge of excitement roll over my belly. The thought of Elina completes me, and I am not leaving her, not even because of my mother or anyone else. I swiftly ran to my room and slipped on my shirt. I didn’t bother wearing perfume, as that would be wasting my time. ———————- "What is that sound? Is strange. Over the two years I have been in this forest, I haven’t heard such noise before. Could it be that the forest animals have finally decided to hunt me? No one would believe that not even an ant has bitten me ever since I lived here." I pondered while my e

Mateo's POV."What could be the meaning of what happened to us a few days ago? What could be the meaning of that symbol? I don't know much about tradition. I don't even believe in the moon goddess or the stories people tell about her. Yes, it is true she is the owner of my fate, but I don't just like to talk about her in the manner others do. I may have to tell my mother. She would be in the best position to explain what that could mean. Yes, I have to go!" I shook my head sideways and left my room for my mother's."What is the problem? You have been acting strangely and very calmly since yesterday. Is there anything bothering you?" She asked me with her face all laced in curiosity."Yes, something is bothering me." I responded in a wavering voice. I was still very scared of what the outcome of this would bring."Go ahead, son! Talk to your mom. What is bothering my son? "Come over here!" She dragged me to her bed, went to the fridge, and grabbed two bottles of chilled water. She was

Alpha Valeria's POV"It has been three months now; the entire community has been searching for my daughter, yet no one seems to know about her. The warriors of our land have made the forest their home. They are instructed to stay around the forest in case they see her. Does it mean that my daughter is dead?" Tears rolled down my cheeks."You have been here all day. One of the maids just told me that you didn't eat your lunch. What is troubling you, my Alpha?" She questioned me while patting my back.I harrumphed before I looked up."It's about Elina, our daughter. Do you think she might be dead? What if the monster has devoured my daughter? I will never forgive myself for letting stupid traditions blind me. I am left with this guilt that won't stop haunting me. I have to do something. I have to let our elders have second thoughts about this tradition.""I remember countless times how I begged you in the past not to banish your own daughter. What did you tell me? You said you had to re
