"You know what? Get the fuck out of my house," Teagan let out in anger. I couldn't understand what exactly his point was, but he seemed far different than the mate I had fallen in love with. His eyes were glowing with anger as he stood his ground.
"Trust me, I did nothing of the sort." I tried explaining myself to him, but he just didn't listen. His hands were grabbing and tossing my luggage out of the house. "Please, Teagan, listen to me." I go on my knees, pleading for his forgiveness, even though I have done nothing wrong. "If you don't get out of this house in a matter of seconds, the ground will be yours to live in," he threatens, smashing the wall behind me and watched as they crumbled to the ground. "I'll go if that's what will make you happy." I took my stand while hurling my luggage into my arms in tears. I leave his presence, gazing back for the very last time, to see the door slammed shut. My pain knew no bounds. I had been accused of sleeping with his father, the Alpha, for a status of Luna since he was yet to achieve it. I had denied it, told him of the recent blackmail incidents going on, but he refused, blindly clinged to the rumors he'd heard. I wished everything could just go back to the way it was. My name still remains Lorenzo Nolan, a Gamma with one of the best fighting skills and techniques as a female. Brought up in a family where skills and power mattered more than anything, I was forced to get up and become strong and powerful. Being powerful didn't make me ugly like some of the girls; instead, beauty flowed through my veins, giving me curves that could make any man weak in the knees. My beauty became an added advantage as men easily got defeated on the battleground. Men feared my wrath and, at the same time, bowed their heads whenever they caught sight of me. When I came of age, the moon goddess brought me together with the mighty Beta Teagan, the son of the strongest Alpha of the Crescent moon pack, whom I had admired ever since my childhood. Teagan Flinn, in one word, was a playboy. Yes, he had everything he wanted, ranging from the girls to wealth to all the other stuff in the town. He had it all. He didn't have any feelings for me from the very beginning and always avoided me cause he felt I was far more powerful than him. When he gets linked up as my mate, he is petrified and defiant. He hesitates but took his chance with me. A claiming ceremony was performed by Teagan and me, with different sacrifices being made. He marks me as his Luna in front of everyone, with a promise to live happily ever after. It felt like yesterday, but here he is not trusting me and accusing me of sleeping with his own father. I didn't know what to feel, what to think, or what trail I was facing. All I was sure about was the fact that I would one day see him kneel or bow before me, pleading for mercy. I yearned so badly for it. His so-called arms wrapped around me, giving me those tingling and sensational feelings. The heavenly kiss that spelled out hunger and desire—I yearned for it. I couldn't get him out of my head, at the very least. My sister, on the other hand, had told me to give up on him and move on with my life, saying he wasn't trustworthy. With nowhere to lay my head down, I had to resort to my last option, which was the inn. Keeping cash isn't really my thing. I could barely afford to stay at the inn for two days, but since the manager felt she owed me for saving the inn several times, She let me stay for a total of 7 more days. I couldn't stop myself from enjoying the feel of the cozy bed. It seemed rather nice and relaxing, but it all reminded me of him. His hands were always on my waistline, giving me the comfort I always longed for. The only way to free myself from thinking was by drinking. It was the only real thing that could keep my head in shape in the meantime. The bar was just a mere meter away from the inn. Just what I need to clear myself of this misery. Upon reaching the bar, I stared at the bartender, grabbed a bottle of tequila from his hand. He couldn't move a muscle, knowing how ruthless I could be. The men in the room all moved to a corner in fear that her power would increase with alcohol. Getting drunk is quite a problem when you have resistance to alcohol. I needed to be drunk, no matter the number of bottles I needed to achieve that. Minutes later, the effect of the tequila took its toll on my system. My profoundly blue eyes had suddenly gone white. I couldn't stop growling and howling as I kept gulping down the alcohol content. The men in the bar all found different escape routes, knowing the interpretation of the growls. I was under the influence of alcohol; I couldn't hold myself anymore, so I took a bottle of tequila and launched it onto the bartender's head, making him bleed severely. At the sight of the scene, everyone fled, leaving me on a rampage in my werewolf state. Overcome by the toxicity of the alcohol, I lost control of my body, rampaged the entire shop and brought them to the ground. "Stop that right now." A masculine voice penetrated my ear. It had a certain sound that made me shiver in fright. I turn to look, but I get caught in a trap falling into the ground before me. "We have her, sire; what should we do with her?" two black werewolves ask, looking at me from above. "Bring her to me."I placed my hands on my face, blocking the penetrating sunlight. My body felt heavy as I rolled over, trying to get a good sleeping posture. After several twists and turns, I gave up, rolling off the bed and falling onto the ground. I felt a surge of restlessness; maybe it was the after-effects of the alcohol I had taken last night. I opened my eyes slowly and lifted myself from the floor. I took a look around, and suddenly I was overwhelmed with joy. From the fluorescent lamp to the marble-tiled floor, I knew it was the house of the mighty Alpha Kai. Though it felt good to be in the house of my father-in-law, I still struggled to believe it. "What am I doing here? Was I kidnapped? What does he want me for? Did Teagan lie to him?" I kept on asking questions I had zero answers to. With a low growl, I moved towards the door and opened it slowly. A huge passage crossed my sight, making me mumble. With no idea where I was, frustration took over. I couldn't let myself get kidnappe
I couldn't believe it had worked. Alpha Kai had made love to me with open arms. From the rump I had, I knew the difference between an Alpha and a Beta. The strength gap was far too wide. Kai felt guilty for his actions. Taking his son's mate under him was something to be ashamed of. I was sure he couldn't believe it himself, but he had been seduced. It wasn't the first time he'd been seduced, but it was the only time he leaned in for it. I had something special that made him attracted and wanting. I could feel he felt vulnerable and tried to keep away from me. "Good morning, Father,” I bent to greet him, pretending nothing happened the night before. Kai looks at her from head to toe, remembering what he had done. It was pretty hard to forget it. He ruminates around the corners, pretending to be looking for something. "Father?" I pestered him, trying to get a word out of his mouth. "Good morning to you, Lorenzo," he replies, avoiding eye contact. I could sense something fishy in
Something was restraining my arm from landing the finishing blow on Bridget. Glancing from an angle, I could see another arm holding me down. “Alpha Kai,” I stuttered. I yelped, looking at the fierce-looking figure holding my hand. This isn’t what I thought was going to happen. Apart from killing my younger sister, I expected nothing else. “Get your filthy hands off my girl. Who the hell do you think you are?” Teagan enters the room, throwing me to the ground and helping Bridget up. “Your girl?.” My breathing spiked as I was losing control at a rapid rate. If I continued with a spiked breath, I was sure to wolf out. Kai suddenly held my hands, pulling me up with a smile on his lips. Everyone in the room was stunned. The ruthless Alpha was smiling. What was happening? “Don’t wolf out just yet, Lorenzo. You still have plenty of days left to do that,” Kai urged as he took me in for a hug. Teagan’s jaw dropped as his father’s hands moved towards my waist, hugging me like he was
The room felt less ventilated. No one was settled; everyone had gloomy looks on their faces. Fear spelled itself out clearly in our eyes as we watched Teagan groan in pain. Wolfsbane is also known as a toxic plant that spells death for werewolves. It has the power to prevent them from transforming into their wolf form, weaken them, or, in the extreme, eliminate them. It was the best-known poison that all werewolves ran from. Its power most graciously gave a surprise toxin; none stood before it. "What should we do? Should I call the doctor? Kai trembled, looking at his only son, pleading for his life. He couldn't watch his son gasp for air. It wasn't pleasing to the eye. He couldn't watch his son die. "Calling the doctor is impossible at a time like this. After a few more minutes of watching, he'll be on the brink of death," I spat out, running towards my room. "What should we do?" Bridget asks in fear. She couldn't lose him, either. "Fuck, I forgot my scalpel at the inn." I s
Teagan's POV It was the claiming ceremony day, our claiming ceremony day. It would be best described as her claiming ceremony because she was the one claiming me. I didn't want her but the Moon Goddess had chosen her as my mate. My mate was no other one than the destructive Lorenzo Nolan. She possessed this power that made men tremble in front of her. Though she loved me and she was always fighting for my love no matter what she did, I would never reciprocate her love. I was the mighty Teagan Finn, handsome, wealthy, and the only son of the strongest Alpha Kai. My status as the future Alpha was already sealed. It was undoubted, certain, and irreversible. I was the only guy on this island that all the girls were swooning over. The already mated ones also wanted to have a taste of me. How possible is it that despite how eligible I was, as a bachelor, I would be mated to the scariest woman on the island? Honestly, I couldn't deny her beauty but I wanted a woman I could control
Teagan's POV I was shocked for a moment. I just broke up with her sister that I claimed a few months ago and she wanted me to claim her again. Some girls could be reckless. At the moment, I couldn't go against her order. I accepted like an obedient dog and put my hand under her dress to lift them off her legs. She held my hand again, her power wasn't enough to deter me but due to some things that were not even clear to me, I stopped immediately. "You have to make it public. You must take me to Alpha Kai, he must endorse our union," she gave another condition but it didn't feel like something that I couldn't provide. "Of course, who will be the first to know about it? We are going to him right away." I caressed her cheek to put her in the mood. "Once we have finished this great task in front of us!" I added seductively. She hesitated for a while before crawling out from underneath me. I became weak, I thought she was going away. I was sad but I wasn't going to force her. Sh
Bridget's POV My stomach grumbled as Lorenzo walked into the yard in her flowing gown. I felt like exploding. It was Lorenzo's claiming ceremony. She was mated to Teagan, the future Alpha. She was also the destroyer with the strange power. It was always her. She always got everything. She was a cheat, a backstabber, and a wicked sister. I was going to stop her. I wanted to become the Luna and when I had achieved that, I would make her bow in front of me and lick my foot. And then, I, Luna Bridget, would make her life nothing but hell. I was jolted back into consciousness by the sudden uproar of the crowd. They were cheering as Lorenzo lifted her veil, an act that she should be condemned for. Instead, they were commending her. Lorenzo bowed before Alpha Kai. "I greet you, Father," she said with humility and Alpha Kai sprang up from his throne seat to hug her. I knew I had no chance of dragging Alpha Kai's favor with Lorenzo. Alpha Kai was so proud of her. He already took h
Alpha Kai's POV In the Crescent Moon Pack which I lorded over as the Alpha, Lorenzo Nolan was my most beloved member of the pack. She had everything in the right proportion. She was powerful, beautiful and humble. She commanded a fair share of fear and affection in the minds of the people. She deserved more from this pack as she had done a lot for us. Despite how she was not appreciated enough, she didn't react poorly. As luck would have it, she was the mate to my only son and future Alpha, Teagan Finn. I should be happy that my son got a great woman as her mate but I wasn't. Instead, I felt bad for Lorenzo. Teagan was not enough for her. She deserved better. My son was the unappreciative kind. I always feared that his reign might be short-lived as many might decide to dethrone him due to his careless and reckless behavior. He was the man of the girls. Almost all the young girls in the pack want a taste and he took that opportunity, using most of them beyond redemption. He had
Lorenzo's pov I watched in horror, as Bridget trembling in the ground, her soul slowly slipping out of her body. I screamed and tears blurred my eyes as I cradled my sister's lifeless body, this is the second person I will be losing to Teagan today. Anger surged in me at the thought of it, he's going to pay for their lives. I stood up and gave a fierce roar and raced into the palace to find Teagan. I must find him, I vowed, and when I do he's going to pay for the lives he took. As I ran, my heart was heavy with rage and grief at the same time, I could feel the rage surging through me. Teagan will pay for what he has done. He has awakened a beast. My feet echoed off as I pounded down the palace corridor, my eyes blazing with fury. I could smell Teagan, a faint scent but unmistakable, it led me deeper into the palace walls. My power surged through me, fueling my strength and speed as his scent grew thicker. Then I hear footsteps ahead growing fainter. I followed the soun
Teagan's pov I snarled as I charged towards my father, I knew I was in for the fight of my life. Our blades clashed, sparks flew as we exchanged blow after blow I knew I was no match for him but I was not going to give up either. "I don't understand why you won't die at once, why must you come back" I said to him as our swords clashed. He landed a solid kick to my stomach and I fell and rolled on the ground. "You are no match for me, Teagan," he said and spat "You are meant to be the Alpha it's your birthright but sending people to kill your own father so you can be the Alpha is something else, you are just so desperate". I grunted, and quickly stood back up," My birthright?, oh you think I don't know how you and that bitch Lorenzo have been planning to give that birthright away". Our swords clashed, "First you stole my mate, I let that slide and you still expect me to sit while you take my birthright". He gave me a hard punch to my jaw, which made me stumble back, "stol
Lorenzo's pov The night we've been nervously waiting for has arrived, the moon was shining bright in the sky as we prepared to move to the palm tree to wait for Rizzo as planned. As we were waiting for Rizzo's arrival, I was lost in my thoughts, I stared at my barely visible baby bump and thought about everything that led us here. I thought about everything that I'd gone through and wondered what the outcome of this battle was going to be and what the future holds for us. I have always been confident about my fighting skills but suddenly felt scared about this battle. I looked at Kai, Vera, and Alex and I could see they were lost in thoughts also. Not so long after that Rizzo finally made his way towards us. "Ready?", I asked Rizzo my voice barely audible, after waiting for him for what seemed like an eternity. He nodded in response "Let's move out" then signaled to his men hiding in the nearby bushes. I Ied my team to the east gate, our sword drawn. We had to move fast
Kai's pov The following night, Vera and Alex met Rizzo, Lorenzo, and I met up again in Rizzo's living room to go over the plan but this time around with a sense of urgency and focus. "Okay let's go over this again," Alex said with a sharp voice. "Alpha Kai's team will take out the guards at the main entrance of the palace. Lorenzo's team will make an entrance through the east gate and take all the guards there down. After the guards are clear then I and my team will come in". We all nodded in response, our face set with determination and passion. What's the timeline? Vera asked "The feast is starting at night and I will have to be there" Rizzo replied "Once is midnight I will sneak out of the feast and meet you guys at the old palm tree and from there we will move into positions, and then we will make our moves". We went over the plan a few more times making sure everyone took note of their move and timing. As we finished the meeting, I felt fulfilled and grateful to m
Kai's pov We moved swiftly through the shadows, the moon cast its glow over the pack territory. I scanned the surroundings it was just how I remembered. The air was thick with a familiar scent, I felt a thrill of mixed feelings as Lorenzo and I slipped past the guards and made our way into the pack disguised as traders. I scanned everywhere to look for Alex then suddenly a dark figure emerged from the darkness. It was Alex, "I've been waiting for you" his voice was low and urgent", there's been a last-minute change of plan, Meet us at Rizzo's place" and with that he walked away. My heart skipped a beat this was unexpected, we had planned to make move tonight, I looked at Lorenzo and she rolled her eyeball. My mind was racing with different questions, why weren't they sticking with the original plan, why the last-minute change? As we walked to Rizzo's place "I hope Rizzo isn't trying to back out now cause I don't trust him" Lorenzo mumbled Our senses were on high alert as
Lorenzo's pov "Lorenzo, Alpha Kai" Vera said with her eyes widened and she covered her mouth with her hands. Tears gathered at the corner of her eyes," I knew it, I knew you were still alive, I could still feel you around" she said with a low steady voice "I miss you witch", I said laughing, "I was so glad I was still able to reach you through this portal "I waited, days, weeks, months for you to reach out to me through it but later gave up since I saw no message," Vera said still shocked. She kept exchanging gazes between Kai and me as if to confirm if it wasn't a dream. I gave her details about everything that happened to us, from meeting Tina to Kai finding me, and the attack in the forest, I told her everything without missing any details. "Vera, we need your help, Kai and I want to come back to take our place, but we want to know the situation over there and make a proper plan before doing that," I said with my voice barely audible. Kai nodded in agreement"We want
Lorenzo's pov My eyes were on Alpha Kai as he sat on a chair sitting strong and composed, it was a sight I thought I would never see again. It's been weeks since I ran with Alpha Kai on my back to Tina's cottage to ask for her help, my heart aches anytime I remember the state I brought him in. But now he's recovering all thanks to Tina's help and care, and his broad shoulders and chest are once more radiant, I still find it hard to believe that someone I met randomly while running away from my mate could play a big role in my life. I smiled as I stirred the pot of soup I was cooking in the kitchen, I couldn't help but I felt relieved and peaceful, I had forgotten all about why I was running from Alpha Kai that day, and all the resentment had now vanished, I even blame myself for the attack in the forest because if I wasn't running away they won't have gotten the chance to attack us. Tina smiled at Alpha Kai as she came into the cottage, wrinkles formed at the corner of her eyes
Bridget pov "OMG, Teagan is going crazy there's nothing anybody can tell me," I said to myself pacing back and front in my chamber "How could he do something like that to Carmen, she helped his sorry life". I went to the throne room to patiently wait for him till he came back. My eyes narrowed at Teagan as he walked inside the throne room, fuming the anger I started shouting at him "You are the most ungrateful person I've ever met in my life, you are the betrayal here, you betrayed someone that helped you, without her I'm sure you won't be here" I said nodding towards the throne "yet you killed her you ungrateful bastard". "She is a spy, don't you know what that means, everything she did for me was also part of their plan, they will eventually kill me the same way they killed my father. She's a threat to our pack" Teagan said justifying his actions. My eyes twisted in anger" You are the most selfish person ever, you counted her as a threat and you decided to eliminate her".
Teagan's pov I stood on the podium in the middle of the town, I could see everyone crumbled in the square, the sun cast a golden glow over the town, the air was thick with tension, my eyes were cold and stern, the executioner, Rizzo, and the elders of the clan were standing beside me. A loud murmur erupted from the crowd as they paved to make way for the guards bringing Carmen bound with heavy chains, her eyes heavy, full of unspoken words as she was led to the podium. The guards halted at the front of the podium and Carmen was forced to her knees before me, her eyes tried to hide her emotions but I could see the fear behind them. "Carmen Eudora, a spy from Sliver Moon Park" Rizzo announced his voice ringing out across the town's square " you took our pack's kindness for granted, you've been found guilty of treason against the crescent moon pack, and by the order of the Alpha you have been sentenced to death by beheading". A loud noise came from the crowd immediately after Riz
