CHAPTER 1

CHAPTER 1

Luna’s POV:

“HELP! PLEASE HELP ME!”- I heard a loud noise from the forest.

I can smell blood. A human. I closed my eyes and in a split second, I’m holding the neck of this vampire. I can feel that my eyes turned red, my long claws and vampiric teeth with an elongated canine are now visible.

“Who are you?”- He asked. I can feel him trembling in fear.

“Poor vampire. You didn’t know me? How unlucky you are.”- I said in my very calm tone.

“Lu-luna? Please don’t kill me! I’m begging you! I won’t kill this human! Please !”- He said begging me.

Pathetic.

“Too late.” - I replied and smiled at him.

In a split of seconds….

“AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!”- The girl screamed in fear with what she saw.

I ripped his chest and pulled out his heart, in just a few seconds, he turned into ashes.

I looked at the terrified girl.

“Forget everything you saw.”- I said.

She stood and started to walk back to the city where she belongs.

“What a great show Luna. I didn’t know that you have a heart for humans.”- I heard a clap.

“Asher.”- I said.

 Of course who won’t notice that annoying voice of him. I looked at him.

“You know that the family of that vampire you just killed will hunt and kill you.”- He said.

I smiled at him.

“Then tell them where I am, so that they could kill me.”- I said in full of sarcasm.

“Of course, I won’t do that. I don’t want them to turn into ashes too like that vampire awhile ago.”- He said.

“Anyway Uncle Santiago is looking for you.”-He added.

What is it this time?

When Asher and I arrived at the Alpha community, everyone’s looking at us.

“Why are they looking at us.”- I asked.

“Maybe you’re too gorgeous to stared at.”- He said in sarcasm.

“What is it this time Asher.”- I asked him.

“Well, I am not in the right position to answer that.” - He answered.

I went directly to that vampire who could give me answers.

“Dad.”- I said looking at him.

“There you are, Luna. What happened?”- He asked.

What the hell? I am supposed to ask him that question.

“You killed an immortal again.”- He said.

So he knew that I killed a vampire today.

“Not just one but eight immortals Luna! For Pete's sake, they are from the Omega family !”- He said, I could feel his frustration towards me.

But wait, what? 

“Did I heard it wrong? What do you mean eight immortals? I just killed one today dad, and of course, you know that I don’t do it without any valid reason.”- I said.

“Then who else could kill an eight immortal?”- He asked in full of sarcasm.

“Well, I am not the only one who’s capable of killing an immortal. There is also a beta family of both vampires and werewolves if you have forgotten.”- I replied in full of sarcasm too.

“Oh com’ on Luna, they were killed by just one immortal, their chest is ripped and hearts are nowhere to be found. They were supposed to turn into ashes but they didn’t.”- He said, I can feel that there’s something wrong.

“Maybe there’s another immortal like you Luna.”- He added in a very serious tone.

I stared at him and went upstairs.

That’s impossible.

Santiago’s POV:

After Luna left I went to Ingrid, my werewolf wife.

“Hon.”- I said and sat beside her.

“Have you talked to our daughter regarding the incident in the forest?”- She asked.

“Yes, she said that she didn’t do it. I believed her.”- I said.

“Then who else can do it aside from her?”- She asked.

“I don’t know.”- I said.

“Was it them?”- She asked, I can feel her fear.

“If they are the ones who did it, then those vampires should turn into ashes. But they didn’t.”- I said.

“But we knew that it’s not impossible especially if they are from the Alpha family too.”- She said.

I thought of it too.

“I think it’s a sign.”- I said.

“Sign of what?”- She asked.

“War.”- I simply said.

“We should prepare for it.”- I added.

Ingrid looks terrified.

“I don’t think Luna can fight them all.”- Ingrid said.

“But what if they don’t want war?”- Ingrid added.

“Then what else?”- I said.

“What if they want to take Luna away from us?”- She said. I could feel her trembling in fear.

“Then we won’t allow that to happen.”- I said.

“I only think of one way for them to not defeat us.” - I added.

Damon’s POV:

“Have you heard the incident in the forest?”- Bree asked.

“Yes. I don’t think the female alpha will do that.”- I said.

“You mean Luna?”- She asked.

“Yes.”- I replied.

“But she’s the only immortal who’s powerful enough to kill those eight immortals. I can’t even imagine how they look, they are miserably killed.”- She seemed terrified for what she said.

Yes, I thought of it too, but Luna won’t do that.

I am sure.

Third Person’s POV:

“Master, the underground ministers issued an event tonight.”-Marceline said.

“I wonder how they able to manage an event despite the incident yesterday.”- I said.

“The event is a masquerade ball, should I order you a new tuxedo?”- she asked.

“Yes pls.”- I replied.

They are making me laugh. They will just make that event a bloody night. I can’t wait to see these families fight, despite knowing who the real culprit is.

The omega family will surely suspect the female alpha with their loss.

I can’t wait for this show.

Luna’s POV:

I don’t want to attend that masquerade ball. I’d rather sleep tonight than attend that stupid event.

*Knock*

“Miss Luna, here’s your gown.”- it’s dad’s assistant, as he brought a large rectangle box.

“Thank you, Marcus, but could you please tell dad that I won’t attend that event.”- I said.

“Miss Luna, he also said that if you don’t want to go to that event then you’re grounded for a week.”- He replied.

What the? Is he serious?

“So I don’t have any choice huh?”- I asked him.

Dad’s too annoying.

I’m in the middle of my tantrums when two women entered my room. They’re holding two boxes. I don’t like the thought of those boxes.

I raised my eyebrows.

“What do you want?”- I asked them.

Hoping that I could intimidate them with how I look at them.

“Miss Luna, Mr.Santiago told us to assist you with your make-up and your looks for tonight.”- The woman in black said.

This is too much dad! Ugh! I’m frustrated right now.

“I thought it was a masquerade ball? Then what’s the use of wearing make up?”- I asked with full of sarcasm

“We’re just obeying his orders, Ms.Luna.We’re sorry if we upset you.”- The woman in pink dress said this time.

“What else can I do? They planned everything already without consulting me first.”- I said giving up.

They smiled.

“Don’t worry Miss. Luna, we will make you the most gorgeous woman tonight.”- The woman in pink dress said.

“No need to say that Lara, Miss. Luna’s beauty is effortless. She’s the most gorgeous female alpha with or without makeup.”- The woman in black said.

They smiled at me.

As if my mood will lighten up with what they said.

I just looked at them blankly.

Third Person’s POV:

My eyes stared at her as she walks on a red carpet. She’s a gorgeous alpha, even wearing those masks. Her curves tell that she is not just powerful.

I smiled.

“Good evening everyone!”-The master of the ceremony greeted us.

“For tonight, allow me to introduce our guest. Miss Lucia!”- he added.

“Good evening everyone! Tonight we are gathered here to unite. Regardless of what you are, a vampire or a werewolf, you are a family. It’s time for a change, let’s end the killings. We must spread love and peace in the underground world.”- She exclaimed.

I almost burst into waves of laughter with what she said.

“That’s why I am giving you this dance floor and spread love for each other.”- She added.

Everyone stand up from their tables and went to the dance floor, they find themselves a partner, just for tonight, there’s no alpha, beta, or omega.

Interesting, I didn’t expect this event to be this smooth.

Until…

I smell blood. Poor vampire.

I smiled. This is what I am waiting for. The show has been started.

I went out of the event hall and went to the garden.

There I witnessed the most interesting show of this event.

It’s Luna holding a vampire’s neck. I could feel that the blood I smelled was coming from his neck as her claws’ slowly digging it.

“Yo..u ki..lled… m-my b-brother a-and c-co-usins.”- the vampire managed to say despite his situation.

“It’s not me, you idiot.”- Luna said.

I smiled. Too fierce. That’s more I like it.

“I don’t kill an immortal without any valid reason.”- She said calmly.

“Luna stop.”- Santiago said.

As expected, she didn’t listen to him. In a split second, she’s holding the heart of the vampire, and he turned into ashes.

She looked at the vampires from the omega family who’s eager to kill her and smiled.

“See? He turned into ashes, if I am the one who killed those eight immortals then how would you explain their body that didn’t turn into ashes?”- She asked.

But they didn’t listen to her. Bunch of idiots.

They attacked her. They’re digging their graves.

Luna’s POV:

As expected, they didn’t listen to me.

My eyes turned red. I must end this in a short time, my body wants to rest.

These omega vampires attacked me simultaneously, but I’m not Luna if they could kill me in an instant.

With one swift move, I ripped their chest.

I looked at my father.

“What’s this mess!?”- Miss Lucia exclaimed.

I stared at her and smiled.

“As an Alpha, I could say that Alpha, Beta, and Omega is near to impossible of being friends. But one thing is for sure I’ll find the culprit behind the incident in the forest. He will pay for this. Let my dad explain everything that happened here, I wanted to rest.”- I said and left the garden.

I expected this to happen, of course, they will suspect me. And that omega vampire in the event tried to kill me with a silver knife. It won’t kill me, but it will leave deep scars.

I tried to explain my side to the other omegas but they didn’t believe me, they’re a bunch of idiots.

This is how I live, even though I am the only vampire-werewolf hybrid, I also dreamed of having a normal life. But having this kind of power means a great responsibility for the alpha family. I wondered if I was born just a pure vampire or werewolf, then my life would be easier.

As I reached our home, mom is looking at me.

“What happened Luna?”- She asked.

“I know that you’re aware of what happened mom.”- I replied.

She could visualize past events, it’s her ability.

“Luna, you should take care of yourself. The omega family is eager to kill you.”- She said, I could feel her concern.

“No worries mom, I can take care of myself.”- I smiled at her for assurance.

“I want to tell you something Luna.”- She said.

“What is it, mom? Can we talk about it tomorrow?. I’m tired.”- I said.

“Okay, dear. Take a rest.”- She replied and hug me.

Mom’s too sweet. I smiled at her and went to my room.

I wonder who’s the real culprit. I could guess that they want to get rid of me by putting me into this situation. They’re framing me and want me to take all the blame for that incident.

I smiled.

“Get out. I could smell you.”- I looked at my glass door and saw an immortal. A vampire.

“Did you just underestimated my abilities? Do you think I won’t notice you by simply hiding to that door of mine.”- I added.

“Chill Luna.”- His voice is as cold as ice.

His smell is quite familiar. I could sense him during the event.

“Who are you?”- I asked him.

He moved and showed himself with the help of the light coming from the moon.

He’s wearing a mask. He sat on the veranda.

“You’re as gorgeous as this full moon Luna.”- His voice gives me chills.

I know that I only heard this voice once, that’s why I could say that I don’t know him.

“What do you want?”- I asked him.

“You’re not from the omega family aren’t you.”- I asked him again.

He’s not here to kill me.

“Oh, did you just underestimated me too? By comparing me to those bunch of idiots?”- He said and laugh.

“I’m not here to kill you, Luna. Not yet.”- He added.

I raised my eyebrow.

“I just want to remind you that I’m watching you. A wrong move and you’re dead.”-He said in a very cold tone.

I smiled at him.

“I’m scared. Anything else?”- I replied, making sure that my voice is full of sarcasm.

“I don’t have time for these non-sense chit-chats, if you don’t have anything important to tell me, then you may now leave.”- I added.

He stands up and smirked at me.

“Your death is coming for you.”- with that, he left.

That’s impossible. I looked at myself in the mirror. No one could beat and kill me but myself.

I smiled.

Third Person’s POV:

“Where did you go after the event.”- She asked.

I didn’t respond.

“Don’t tell me you went to the female alpha?”- She asked again.

“I just talked to her.”- I replied.

“Don’t you dare ruin our plan!”- She said in a serious tone.

“Let’s say I gave her some hints.”- I replied to pissed her off.

Luna’s POV:

When I woke up I took a long bath since I have training today. I don’t know what are my parents up to for that training. They only say that it’s my preparation for some unexpected events that might happen.

I’m not planning to tell them that someone visited me last night. I will deal with it on my own.

I went downstairs to have my breakfast.

“Luna. We will talk.”- Dad said without even greeting me.

“Good morning Dad.”- I said sarcastically.

“What are you thinking?”- He started.

Here we go again.

“Dad, did you forgot that you forced me to attend that event by sending me the gown and the two makeup artists, threatening me to be grounded in a week if I didn’t obey you? And now you’re asking me that question?”- I said. I am starting to get irritated.

“I expected you to behave Luna! But what have you done! You killed those omega vampires!”- 

He said.

I could feel that he’s furious at me.

“Then what do you want me to do Dad? Should I didn’t fight back? And let them hurt or worst kill me? You are aware that they thought of me as the culprit of the incident in the forest but you still forced me to attend that event! You’re the one who’s not thinking here Dad! ”- I burst out my anger.

“Stop it, Luna! Don’t you dare raise your voice at me.”- He replied.

“I lost my appetite.”- I am about to leave the dining area when he speaks again.

“You sit down Luna. We will be discussing something else.”- He said calmly.

I looked at my mom, she doesn’t want to meet my gaze.

I sat on my chair. I bet this will be important.

“The omega and beta family are just quiet but I think they are planning something against us. As the leader of the Alpha family, and you as my daughter, we will be responsible for this.”-He said calmly.

I am just listening to him and started to put some food on my plate.

“Luna, for us to defeat them, we should found an immortal who’s powerful too and must be mated with you.”- He added.

I stopped for a few seconds, trying to absorb everything he said.

“Tell me that you’re kidding this time Dad.”- I said coldly.

I don’t want to play his games anymore.

“No. I’m serious Luna.”- He said looking at me.

“I’m tired with your games dad. I am old enough to decide for myself, you should not interfere with my personal life. I am taking all of the responsibility of being a vampire-werewolf hybrid but I deserve to be happy too.”- darn it. My anger burst out.

“Think of this again Luna, do you think you can beat the beta and omega families? Not because you’re a vampire-werewolf hybrid, you’re capable of everything. Later on, they will find out your weakness and it will bring you to death.”- He said 

“I’ll find a way, Dad! But I don’t think this is the solution !”-I exclaimed.

“I hope you could find that solution we’re looking for as soon as possible. While everything is not yet complicated. Think of the alpha family Luna.”- He said and left the table.

My tears started to fell.

“Luna. Don’t cry.”- mom started to comfort me.

“I deserve to be happy, mom. Did you just raise me so that I could be a protector of the alpha family? These responsibilities are making me sick.”- I cried it out.

I couldn’t bear this pain anymore. This is too much.

“Everything will be alright Luna.”- She’s tried to calm me.

“You know, the Alpha family is the strongest in the underground world in history up until now. You are also aware that a vampire and werewolf couldn’t raise another immortal, it’s a forbidden rule of the underground. But we still raised you, that’s we are facing the consequences now, and that’s to protect the Alpha title.”- She explained.

“But can’t I choose a mate for myself? You’re aware that a vampire-werewolf like me could love once in our entire life and I am waiting for that time to come. If I will be mated to someone I don’t love, it also means that you’re taking my happiness away from me.”- I am still crying right now.

I couldn’t help it. They’re talking about my future.

“Luna, do you think if you’ll mate to someone you just met regardless of his strength and capabilities, do you think you could defeat the beta and omega families? Do you think you could protect us?”- Mom asked.

I am trying to understand their point.

“I’ll agree to that.”- I said.

I got my mom’s attention. My dad is now in front of us, waiting for words.

“In one condition, that immortal should be stronger as me. If someone dares to be my mate, he should defeat me in the battleground but if he fails, then I’ll turn him into ashes.”- I finally made up my mind and that’s final.
