Chapter. 2

ASTRA'S POV

Tree branches scattered the ground under the cold whooshing wind. It was the Eve day for the Lycans. A day where both the mighty and low status Lycans gathered for feasting before the Royal banquet sets. I had personally scheduled this day to introduce a Luna to my lunatic father who wanted to hand over power to my stepbrother, Daemon if I didn't get a wife so I had a contracted marriage deal with one of the wolves Alpha to hand over his Luna in exchange for an alliance.

Now sitting under a giant pear tree which shielded us from the harsh weather with the Royal family; Father, stepmom, stepbrother and step sister who lusted after me, I felt tensed. It wasn't like me to have dinner with them. I hated them all, every single one of them.

"You promised to show us your Luna today Astra but it seems null" Queen Magnet said, mockery evident in her tone. Ever since my heartless father remarried this vicious woman, my hatred heated up for him. Obviously she was trying to get on my nerves but I wasn't going to let it happen. The contracted Luna should have arrived by now since it was already evening.

"Quit Astra if you can't find someone as your Luna, An Alpha without a Luna is baseless" My father remarked upsetting me.

"Baseless you say" I scorned, "I don't think that word suits you father"

"If you actually knew what a Luna meant then you wouldn't have banished her to become a rogue" I flared, I knew exactly the words that could fuel his rage.

"Astra ! " He yelled sitting up but I cared less. I already wanted to upset them so they could end this stupid feast.

But then a beautiful scent washed my nostrils and my wolf rejoiced in ecstasy. I became surprised and shocked at the same time. What could make Baal, my wolf this elated?

Suddenly, I began craving that scent as I felt its hitched breathing loom closer; a pure mixture of Rose milk, vanilla, berries with a splash of mint. This was an entirely new mesmerizing scent and it tugged my senses.

But then a realization hit me. Could this be the mate pull? I couldn't believe it as it dawned on me. I didn't know if I should be sad or happy but one thing I felt was anger. How could the Goddess mate me at a time like this, I made myself clear that I didn't want a mate? Was this a trick or something?

Right now the anger that pulsed through me was like never before. Snapping my head towards the direction of the scent, a brownish-white wolf hurled towards me in a radical speed. Knowing this wasn't going to end well, I spranged up menacingly and let my wolf take over as I took off with the she- wolf not caring about the shock and surprises that glistened the people's faces.

Arriving at the solace grounds, I shifted and threw her to the ground, with her furry head rolling on the sides of the grasses. I felt her sharp gazes and as she shifted to nature, trying to shield herself amongst grasses, she spat out the most disgusting words to me.

"Mate, mine" She called blatantly. I felt so angry. I hated to hear that word.

"I Alpha Astra Thrones of the Lycans pack reject you as my mate " I burled angrily. My beast nudged at me trying to force its way out but I held him in with every ounce. But then, I sensed terror and fear and dejection in her. A sharp pain pierced my heart, enveloping my whole being but I tugged in fiercely masking the emotions

"And if you utter that word anymore from your lips, you'll be met with a fatal consequence" I snarled at her. I felt bad, I wanted to apologise to her, I wanted to cuddle her but I couldn't. It was for the best, I didn't want to be weak or have a weakness. If Father should find out that she was my mate, she'll be dead.

Oh the Moon Goddess, why now? I countered my thoughts not able to ascertain why I'm always met with misfortunes. As a child, I didn't get to have a normal life like other kids, I was always locked up deep in a dark room and now I've adjusted to darkness to the extent I detested light.

I needed to make her fear me, hate me and detest me just like the rumors that spread wide beyond the whole packs of how ruthless I am. I didn't want her to feel anything for me and it would be best if she accepted my rejection, but I couldn't bring myself to force her.

"Do you understand" I further threatened. I felt her shiver at my cold voice, I sensed the horror in her, the sadness in her eyes cut me like a blade, maybe it's just my fate, a fate to hurt everyone by my side. She nodded with tears in her eyes. I felt shattered and unachieved.

"Now go back to wherever you came from and pretend nothing happened"

"I can't because I'm the contracted Luna" She hushed sharply. My mind went hazy in split of seconds. I was shocked to the brim.

What was happening? I asked myself

I think I've asked myself this same question multiple times today.

"You're the contracted Luna?" I asked still not believing the shocking reveal.

"Yes Alpha" She answered. Right now, I was speechless. How did I get stuck in such a bizarre situation. Not knowing what to do, I mind linked my Beta, one of the special abilities I had as an Alpha.

I heard the approaching footstep of someone, it was really getting close and suddenly, I felt the need to protect the witty girl. If she's seen with me then she's gone. I immediately carried her up from the bushy ground, confusion and shock plastered her silhouette face the moment our skin connected, flicks of desires balled in messing with my senses, her scent adding to the torment of the unwavering urges. Running towards an underground clearing we hid there and I peeped up.

"Alpha?" I recognized the voice of my Beta Augus, the moment the footstep breached on the spot I stood before but he wasn't alone, he came with my personal maid Miriam. I released a hitched breathing and came out of the clearing with her. I saw a mixture of surprise and shock on their faces as they stared at our bodies but soon enough, I was going to turn that into sheer sadness.

"Let me have it" I said to Augus as he brought out a neatly folded paper and handed it over to me.

"Here is a list of the contract do's and don't s" I spurted, my voice turning cold and domineering as I threw over the paper to her.

"Read out loud" I demanded harshly.

She flipped through the paper and read " We will display our marriage in front of the Royal house and in public. You shall be adored as the Luna of this pack"

"However, within the pack house and without anyone present, I owe no obligation to treat you as my wife"

"You'll not share the same room, eat or sit with me except for duty purposes"

"I will never mark you and you will never mark me nor involve yourself in my personal life" She stopped, her hands trembling in shock.

"And lastly" I resumed, "You're not permitted to see me or touch anything that belongs to me or do anything without without my permission" I completed narrowing my eyes at Miriam

"Get her ready Miriam, she shall be addressed as the Luna on the banquet tomorrow evening" I ordered and with that I started leaving with Augus trailing behind me as he handed me a robe, I know he must have a thousand and one questions to ask me but I wasn't in the mood for them all.

Pls kindly leave a review after reading, would go a long way in boosting my hope and as well bless me with your gems 😊

Surely, the Lycans pack was the lively one and everyone was happy because today was their banquet. At a time, I began to question why rumor tamed it as the most dangerous pack to ever exist amongst lands. The Lycans pack has always been ruled by one linage - the Thrones "Evening Miss, It's time to get you ready" Miriam's loud voice disrupted my thoughts as she entered the room. "Okay " I smiled wryly moving out of the window and coming to sit on the bed as she hastily removed my gown leaving me bare with just my pants and bra. I looked down slightly embarrassed. "How is Lily doing ma'am?" I asked remembering that Lily was assigned to sleep in the maid quaters yesterday. "She's adjusting well just like you" She smiled at me. I was surprised by her response because I did

Although there were lots of Lycans present, her scent superceded their aura that I didn't bother greeting the elders. It's been two days since the rejection yet I feel drawn to her every single moment of contact. I had assigned her quaters to be far away from mine as I didn't want something going wrong with this foreboding strong pull created by the Moon Goddess. The moment our eyes interlocked, I felt like pulling her in and slamming my lips on hers but I couldn't; circumstances would never let the desires manifest. "Why do you keep my Luna standing?" I asked as I approached Miriam and her. "You may leave Miriam, I'll take it from here" i ordered shifting my gaze to her as I flashed her a smile. I could feel her tense up in disappointment and guilt struck me. But that was what I wanted right?, It would be best if she gets more disappointed and probably hate me.

    Ava ~~~~ My eyes shimmered with unshed tears as I lurched deeper into the darkness. Frustration coursed through me as I reflected on my life. How fate had been treating me was becoming unbearable. I'm just a cursed girl with just a pretty face. No love, no family, no friends and no mate. All these thought crashed in my head and finally the tears rolled down my cheeks. I had been holding it for a long time, not wanting to allow myself look weak and dejected in front of him. One would wonder if I could cry in the form I was but I did and my wolf soaked it all in. At first, I thought he would see a new side of me after the clash but it seemed like I accelerated his hatred even more. He doesn't seem to have affection for me that at times I wonder if I was actually mated to him. I didn't even know why contracted me as his Luna. Although he rejected me, I had refused to accept the rejection because I thought he would be different from everyone. But what was I thinking, the ruthl

    Astra~~~~ Waves of panick spread through my chest the moment she busted out into the hollow darkness. Had I been too harsh on her, did I hurt her too much ? Different questions with no common answer plagued my head. The unsettling feeling I was getting was becoming unbearable. What if something happens to her, the night was too dangerous?. I saw the hurt and disappointment in her eyes earlier when I yelled at her. I wanted to go after her but I couldn't because if I left now, the pack would notice and everything might go wrong especially for her. Baal kept trying to take over, it wanted to go after his mate and protect her but I didn't let him and he became quite angry with me. I wasn't surprised because I knew how he felt. As I paced about in the room, suddenly a feeling washed over me; fear, horror. My heartbeat quickened as I felt those unwitting emotions. I could feel its terrified breathing and instantly it dawned on me, Ava !. In a swift moment without second thought

    Ava~~~~The moments he saved me from the Lions, I felt worthy and valued. I thought my life was just going to end up getting eaten by Lions. "I guess you're really not afraid of the night " He snapped as he carried me up in his hands and began leaving the woods. "Let me go " I tried getting off his hands but he held me tighter. I smiled inwardly although he didn't notice. His cuddling was what I needed the most at the moment but I wanted to prove stubborn. Oh heavens knew how much I wanted this from him, I wanted to smooch in his embrace, I wanted to get cuddled by him. I wished this little moment of closeness between us lasts longer even though it meant nothing to him. ****Miriam had insisted on bathing me but I declined. I just wanted some time alone for myself since I couldn't do that in the woods earlier. Reluctantly she left and I skipped to the bathtub. I sank into the bathtub and let the water envelope my skin. I shut my eyes as the water cradled my body, soothing my musc

    Ava~~~~ I felt a strange hand slid into my top gently. Its rough caress strange and irritating. I didn't know who those hands belonged to but I knew definitely that it wasn't the Alpha. I tried forcing my eyes open but it seemed like a band was tied to it making me unable to flutter my lids. I opened my mouth to scream but it only ended up in a faint and sultry tone. What was happening to me, where am I? I panicked trying to move my body as well but a cold hand held me down tightly and the other one that slid into my top, unhooked my bralets and shoved it down to my abdomen. "Shall we begin?" I heard a male voice asked, I couldn't recognise the voice but his scent and presence felt so familiar. "Pls be quick, Astra might notice?" I heard a female voice which I instantly recognized. Kalha ! My head spinned. What does she want to do with me, what have I done again? Why would this be happening at a time like this. My banded eyes already got wet. Right now, I wanted to

    Astra' s POV Lycans are not bounded by the moon Goddess like werewolves. We're different and can control our instincts, choose any woman we want and extinct anyone we want at will. We are just primoridial creatures with no string guiding us but why? Why was the pain of her acceptance so deep like a shard of glass stuck into my heart? The pain was strangely excruciating, what kind of joke was the Moon Goddess trying to pull on me? Although I had not expected her to accept my rejection , yet the pain I felt that moment was immeasurable. Ever since the existence of the lycans, we had banned mating pulls from the Moon Goddess yet she keeps creating irresistible strings to our heart. Different thoughts scaled through my head as I slumped on the cushion at the far north- end of my room. No doubt I wanted her, she was the only one I felt the need to hold onto but just like the others, it faded into dust. Once more, i'm left all alone in the world. The creaking sound of the

"Why mom but I wanna go hunting with you, or is it because I don't have a wolf yet" My face turned to pure sadness as I looked up at her. "Not that baby, I'm just protecting you, pls run back and tell your dad that the Lycans took me" "I love you" Mom said as she pecked my cheeks. Just then we heard a footstep approaching towards us and in just a swift moment, it dived towards us. Mom pushed me behind her as she stood bravely in front of the Intruder. "Hand her over Wendy" The voice spat out angrily but stubbornly my mom refused to adhere to his commands. "No , I won't do it, she doesn't belong to you " She obejected in defiance as she held me to herself tightly. "I do not want to hurt you Wendy, kindly give me the girl" He commanded this time around he took slow steps towards us. "I won't, you already killed my best friend so why do you want my little girl!"

It felt like something wasn't right. I could feel it, its very scarred feeling gnawing closely at my soul. Anytime I felt this way, it usually depicted great danger or calamity. The last time I felt this way was decades ago, when the war broke out. Back then, somehow, some people regarded me as a seer because of how I could predict impending dooms. It was a gift that rarely shows itself and whenever that happens, it'll result to a great loss. Either involving bloodshed or majority of pack members will die. There'll be a great chaos if it eventually happened and I was not ready to let history repeats itself just like years back. I had taken an allegiance to protect the pack and everyone, even if it'll cost my life along the line, as long as I'm able to save even a single soul, then I would be happy to give it

The northern pole was a beautiful place to stay, everything about it felt natural, the wild unweeded grasses and the bamboo stick trees made it a captivating place to caress nature. I haven't seen anyone around, it seemed they had retired to rest late last night. I sighed, my mind sauntering back to the conversation I had with Medusa.A girl with a mark below the waist?I had caught only a glimpse of that mark on someone, I would find out when I return to the pack. "Alone, getting some fresh air?". A familiar voice asked from behind. I turned to see Daisy wearing a skimpy short skirt that exposed her fair thighs. She wore a black transparent shirt which stopped at her lower waist, almost in line with the skimpy skirt. I ignored her and faced back to the giant trees I stared at. At the moment, many things occupied my mind and I didn't a third party disrupting them

"But then they came to Stone Blood pack and through my help, I amalgamated them as one of us""You knew her !". She reckoned. "What?, How? First of all, what do you mean by you are responsible for my lost memories?". I asked the one question that has coursed my mind. "Because I did, it was to save you or you might not be able to handle it, it was for the best Augus but now listen". She began. "Does the name Hazel also ring a bell?". She asked again. "Hazel !". I muttered, the name seemed strangely sweet on my lips and also familiar. "I feel like talking I've heard those names before but I can't recall Medusa".

They were really submissive to Medusa?"Why did you intrude, I thought you wanted me to have my best time here?". I asked, standing up not minding about my nakedness as I picked up my shorts from where I threw it earlier. "You should thank me Augus, why would you even do that?". She asked and suddenly the realization hit me. Fuck, I almost fucked a rogue!She seemed to notice my expression and broke into a short laughter. "What made you so aroused for a Beta to want a rogue?". She inquired closely, leaning at the door as I zipped my trousers. "Do you perhaps have someone you were fantasizing about to create such arousal in you because I know it wasn't Daisy that you wanted". "And what if it was the rogue girl that I wanted?". I replied wanting to know her reasons for thinking the girl isn't upto the status quo of igniting the burning flames in me. Alt

"Astra is hurting and even now I don't know what might be happening in hybrid pack where I left him".I brooded slumping back to the bed in frustration and tiredness, retracting my claws and shoving my wolf back to my mind. "Well leave at dawn by tommorow Augus but not with rogues, I'll gather them tonight and brief them, they trust and follow my lead as you already know so get ready" She surmised, wiping the tears that stained her face and getting up in the process. "See you at dusk Augus". She reveled and finally left, I stood and locked the door then went back to the bed again. I needed a good rest, it's been tough these days.

I have not imagined myself to be even with rogues but here I was, lying on the comfy bed in a nice lit room. I had taken a long cold shower, it was exactly what I needed at the moment. I laid on the bed reminiscing about every single event that has been happening. Things were becoming even more tough gradually. My mind drifted back to the pack , I wondered if Astra could manage all, it'll break him at some point. A knock on the door zoned me out of my thoughts. "Come in". I said, although this wasn't where I should exercise authority or be atoned respect yet Medusa had insisted on treating me as one. Her valiance and care was the one thing I wouldn't forget when she had not become a rogue. The door was slightly pushed open and just as I thought, it was Medusa. I knew there must a thousand and one question going through her mind. "Feeling sleepy?". She asked and I

He was an Alpha, I could tell because no one has the power to issue a command to be obeyed. Only Alpha's possessed that gift. "Turn around". He ordered again and gently I swirled around still carrying Emerald in my arms and he gasped. "What are you doing with her?!". He growled and instantly I recognized him. He was the Alpha of this pack and I had only met him once when I feigned to have lost my memories in the court the day Astra almost went raging at the elders. "I____I___I". I stuttered not knowing what to say. Would he even believe me?"Seize her at once!". He ordered his guards and immediately they swung into action. "Wait!".
