Deluna Hansen.
"Alpha, we have the spies in the dungeon already." Zia tells me, walking into the office with her heeled boots making clicks against the floorboards. I drop my pen and look up, "Perfect," I compliment their achievement and she smiles.
"Beta Samuel specifically took part in that only for your love. You should give him a try, Alpha." Zia says jokingly but my wolf doesn't take it as a joke. I fight the urge to pounce on her and remind myself she's my beta. I calm my wolf down and stand up, dropping the paper sheet on the desk.
"Say anything, but don't step a foot out of the office. And you might just want to tell Damien to prepare for a gorgeous dinner." Her pretty blonde eyes gleam at the mention of his name. Clearly, she has feelings for the vampire every other person in the pack counts to be rogue, "Or you might like to offer yourself to him as dinner."
"Alpha!" Her voice is scolding but her face says something different. Crimson colored cheeks can only tell of fluttering feelings.
"It's obvious you like him, amico," I say, " Ed è piuttosto quello caldo." I wink at her before turning around and walking out.
I am Alpha Deluna Hansen, 23, and the Luna of Crystal Promise pack (Pacchetto Promessa Di Cristallo). I don't have you to tell, I love being respected and given that accord. To be the strongest and most respected female alpha means a lot of dedication and vigilance. But I have something more important to bother about than about my reputation. I have less than five months to present my mate to mother. I had promised her (that) I would present my beautiful relationship with my mate whenever I clock twenty five, and that was before she died. If anything ever really matters to your subjects as an alpha, then it's being dedicated to your words. That surely means a lot.
I make my way to the dungeon as the rest of the pack won't stop greeting me. The place is dark and smells of dried blood, just what it is used for. The dungeon is dirty and stinking with humans and wolves and a bit of vampires' dried dead bodies and splashed bloods everywhere. It has been used more in the years before than now. Just making an estimate about the number of bodies that has been killed in this place over the years makes me realize why I am regarded as the most powerful and the most respected female alpha.
After a second scanning around the room, I finally find the two livings in a corner of the room. They aren't dead yet but it looks like they've been battling for their life for hours now. And their skin? It's burning already. Wolfsbane! It's even beginning to affect me.
I squat before the two dying werewolves and one of them slowly looks up. A smirk plays on my lips as I read the pitiful expression on the beta's face.
"Mercy?" I laugh at the word and he tries to open his mouth to talk but the wolfsbane potion on an open wound... The smell is beginning to make me weak too.
"Don't worry, your blood won't dry up like the others. You would make a gorgeous dinner for our hot vampire." I tease but the next second, I plunge my claws into their heart. A loud, sharp grunt and silence. Death! I smirk at their splashed blood. If there's something I love then it's the sight of the enemy's blood. And if there's a job I preferred most, then it's preparing the best of dinner for Damien with their blood.
I stand on my feet and replace my claws with human fingers before stepping out of the dungeon. I walk to the stairs that leads to my stay. I ascend it and step into the hampton styled living room. I walk to my room and to the bathroom where I cleanse my blood stained self.
"Alpha." I turn around and it's Zia looking so fucking hot for the party. Grey tank top, high waist shorts stopping halfway her butts and square toe boots. Damn, who the hell does she plan to seduce in the party?! There's no Damien there, is there?
"Get in the car already, Zia. You won't tell me you aren't dressed for the party... Lemme think, Damien's gorgeous dinner?" I tease but she frowns, "I brought you something, alpha." And I furrow my brows at her. Something? Bad news?
" Spill it!"
" Wolfsbane. It's fool moon tonight and there'll be humans there," Right! I'd be almost useless for the next minutes just to ease myself from the full moon effect. I grab the sealed bottle from her and without one more thought, I tear off its tab. On opening it, the scent fills my nose, starting to create reactions but that doesn't stop me as I gulp down the whole content. Zia watches me throw the empty bottle away and snap my eyes around the pack's field.
"Are you okay?" Worry laces in her voice as I try to remain fit. But I ain't okay... Damn, it feels like I'm finally going to die. My heartbeat starts to go unsteady as Zia opens the passenger door for me to get in. I manage to sit myself and clasp my arm together. I am beginning to get feverish already and weak all over. I am used to this_ the fucking feeling I get when I ingest in diluted wolfsbane just to protect myself and those around me during full moons. Zia joins me in the car and assists me with doing my seatbelt before driving off.
Zia wakes me up from my slumber when we get there. Still feeling very weak but not feverish anymore, I get out of the car without any help and slam the door close. Zia too gets down and crosses over to me.
"Do you need any help, alpha?" She still has that worried look on her, like I might just slump and die sooner. I could've said yes but being an alpha, weakness isn't something you should accept, and to your beta. That only indicates and tells people how weak and unsuccessful your reign would be.
"I'm fine, beta." My tone isn't nice, not even near nice. Should I say arrogant? But I care less.
"Sorry, alpha." But I don't acknowledge her apologies, I turn around and head into the party.
(Amico: friend.
Ed è piuttosto quello caldo : And he's quite the hot one.)
Deluna Hansen."It's nice to have you here, alpha Hansen." But I can barely mistake the hatred in his voice as love and the contemptuous smile on his face as a good one. A plan for tonight? Oh yeah, it's full moon tonight." And you make me wonder, why the hell would you organize such an important party during full moon?" But I don't wait for him to reply. I cover up my scorn for him and put on a smile. "See you around, Caleb." I challenge him to a raging fight by calling him directly with his first name to see his reaction. I smirk when I see his eyes almost glowing. I like this, always loved it."Don't spoil the party, Caleb." I wink at him and move back. I turn my still weak self around and trudge to the bar."Valpolicella, please." I give my order as I slip into a bar stool."Italian?" The red haired bartender tries to start a conversation and being aware of the fact th
Deluna Hansen.But he gives me no time to say another word as he pulls away and glares down at me. "Wear the dress already. We're going for hiking, Alpha." That wasn't the least nice but then, he'd add a little respect by calling me Alpha. And even if I was going to protest, there was no way he would listen to it because he left the room just as the words left his mouth. And hiking doesn't sound bad, quite romantic! Except for the fact that I'm kidnapped here in Cinque Terre, all the damned way from New York, by a human mate. I turn around and walk to where he had dumped the bag. I pick it up and make my way upstairs again."You haven't tell me where the hell we're going and it's been minutes since we've been walking past this deserted route!" I rant at my human mate. I hate this_ being controlled by one human. It doesn't make sense, even to me, that almighty alpha obediently hikes with a human. But then, I need to make peace with my m
Deluna Hansen."What about your marriage with Ms Williams? When it's going to be?""Marriage?" I wrinkle my brows as I try to grasp in the meaning of that word. His marriage with one Ms Williams? WTH, my mate is getting married! He turns his gaze to me but takes it away immediately. Whatever his old man says is true, he's getting happily married soon! But how dare he...?!" Let's not talk about that now, Elio. We should have dinner already." He rasps out, shunning his old man and I bite my lips. Seriously? My wolf is starting to get hurt... He's getting married."Sure, but she called me last night and asked if...""Elio!" The old man almost flinches as he shuts up and gawks at the table. "Sorry." He lets out and urges, "Let's have lunch already, it's Mary's best."But I would rather calm myself down than sit and have a meal while trying to accept the fact that my hot human
Deluna Hansen."What were you saying, alpha?" His voice is mocking, of my relented self and I hate it that I'm unable to control my feelings with him. When he brings his face even more closer, I dock mine to the back and can't be more glad when he releases me." Speak up, Luna. I have something to attend to." Wow, he even knows my name! So damn perfect." I want to go back to New York." No, that sounds stupid, just like I'm really a subject of his. After thinking of a better rephrase, I open my mouth and talk, "Take me back to New York."That wasn't a better rephrase but at least, the tone was better and it should do for it. I never made a request, that was a command.He sighs and moves back. "Too bad, I won't be listening to your command. There's a reason I brought you here to Italy and if we aren't going to find out that reason, then none of us is getting out of this place either." Wit
Deluna Hansen.He pulls away and for the first time, he feeds me one of his smiles, "Missed me already, Luna?"I frown at the familiar pride lacing in his voice and I move back, "Well, I didn't. You walked out after depriving me of my right to get back to my family. I mean who the hell does that?!" I snap, being careful to use the word 'family' instead of 'pack'.He chuckles and says, "No other man than the man standing right before you, of course! Oh Luna..." But hearing his name called from the other room by either his old man or Mary gets him distracted and he abandons his sentence just to go meet his caller. I watch him disappear through the kitchen's door and turn around when Summer won't stop clearing her throat noisily. When I turn my attention to her, she wears that naughty smirk and leans closer as if to say something, "C'è qualcosa tra voi ragazzi, Zia?"Damn, what the he
Deluna Hansen."You look hot." My mate tells me causing an appreciating smile on my lips and causing my wolf to react happily. "Grazie." I tell him with the most sweetest voice I can fake in the moment. And I urge him once more, "Let's get going already.""Tell me about the party?" I demand the moment he drives out into the road and he throws me a short glimpse before speaking up, "It's the kind of party you should like, that type of party where most of its attendants are binded by hatred, mock and contempt.""That type of party that'll likely end up in a fight and earn me a new opponent." I correct him and he nods. But something hits me again, something rather important and I turn my gaze at him. "What'll you be doing at such party?""Because you think I'm human and weak?" He retaliates and I bite my bottom lip, trying to contain my anger within myself. No one dares answer my question with a q
Deluna Hansen.When I pull away, I'm surprised when I see those fangs and eyes similar to that of Damien. Vamp! What the hell, I wasn't so crazy as to kiss a vampire, was I?! Damn me, twice! He smirks at my expression and winks before walking off. My wolf starts to scold me and curse me about kissing another man that's not my mate, and especially a rival creature.It wasn't my fault, only if my mate didn't have to annoy me so much. Well, I try to think that way but deep down, I'm bothered... Bothered about the reason behind the smirk the vampire held! What if he's gonna harm me or my pack? Or he needed a kiss from me to make a spell?! Hell, no! What was I thinking?! And why the hell did I suddenly go so soft to allow a human rule over me?! Seriously, where the hell has my alpha self gone?! Just where the hell?! I tense when I feel those hot breathe fan my neck and that very familiarly fascinating scent hits me as my wolf's mood becomes enlig
Deluna Hansen.The bright sun rays are the first thing that greets me the moment I blink my lids open. I groan and roll over to the other side of the surface with little light, with my eyes still closed."Awake?" His husky voice turns out to be the first melody I'll listen to in the day and it only brings me memory of our hot lovemaking last night... Lovemaking?! Oh now, that's the wrong word but I definitely don't know what to call it. There was foreplay! My wolf starts to chuff for the fact that it had an intense contact with its mate. Well, I haven't mark him yet but lastnight was surely enough to bribe that from it for the while."Morning," he greets me as I sit up, grabbing the duvet as a cover for my naked chest, "how are you?" Worries? He isn't kidding me right now, is he?! I'm Alpha... Why should he expect me to feel pain after fucking the whole night? And to say, that wasn't even my first time.
Deluna Hansen."He's just too cute! Gosh, I wish I had a baby too. " Evra cooes as she plants way too many kisses on Maro's face. "You should let him have a rest from you or you'll soon suffocate the poor boy," Lina scolds, pulling her away from his cradle. "What do you know? He's my little baby brother. He's mine and no one can take him away from me!"Evra tells her protectively and that seems to piss Lina out the more. "He's not yours. Stop acting like a jealous girlfriend. He's also not your baby brother but your twin brother's baby. If you really want something to call yours, then go get fucked and become pregnant. "Lina fires, glaring at her and I admit I've never seen her this angry at a human. It's cute that she can become dared by a human. "Alright, alright. " I say, making my presence known already and stopping their little argument from going further. Unlike the two of them, Ciro listens to music with his ear buds and reads a novel silently. "That's enough, Evra. There's
"What do you want to show me?" I ask, getting away from him when we reach the backyard. My cheeks is burning bright red already, all thanks to his stupefying aura!"Are you angry at me?" His question surprises my thoughts and causes a pang of guilt in me. Am I angry at him? Why should I be angry at him? Because he didn't wait for you to wake up and say a better see you later before leaving? Or because he didn't ask for your permission before going to face Antoinette? Of course, I do sound childish but for all I care, I do deserve an explanation from him.He sighs and gesturing forward, he asks, "Do you like it?" That's when I notice a stool with a slate on it and on that slate is...I sprint forward, doubting it as I would doubt heaven opening for me to come in. A huge 'wow' leaves my mouth as I take it in my hand."Did you kill him?" I ask, my eyes widening as I take a closer view. Those stupid green eyes looks back at me as though they were still living but it is true...This stupid h
Adalfieri.The heat surrounding my body finally helps me to wake up after been lost in that trance for days. I listen to her words as I do my final struggle to open my eyes...She's undoubtedly casting another spell to make me die. Stupid witches. When I finally open my eyes, I find her just like I had expected with candles and black robes and the sorts. And that's when I find out it's not the heat that brings me back but the place she has brought me to. But I can still read her indecent intention. So much unbelievable. How can she expect to get rid of someone ordained in hell in hell? Good thing is she has to remind me it's been long I've come to pay tribute to the devil and eventually helps me refill my strength so that I'm even more stronger than when Hybrid had to do the ritual. I decide to take advantage of the fact that she's still intense with reciting those long words and is less or more conscious of her environment. I stand up in the black robe she's dressed me in and walk awa
Deluna Hansen.I arrive at the pack residence before dawn. I'm not dressed as Luna, I'm rather disguised as a countryside spy with very baggy gown that rather hides my huge protruding bump, a large hat that makes the onward looker only able to see the lip part of my face and boots. I hold a large sack that contains a big deal of weapons and tools. Since the dungeon floor isn't at all concreted, it should be easy for me alone to dig. Good thing is there's usually no one up at this time of the day. It'll take a few more hours before someone gets up and no one really likes to visit the dungeon. But then, as I approach to go behind the big house, to the dungeon, I hear footsteps coming closer and a sudden flashlight. My heart skips a bit as I quickly find something to hide behind, hoping and wishing I don't get caught. "Who's there?" I'm relieved when I find out it's no other than Damien and trusting him not to ridicule my weak situation, I stand up and take my hat away. "Damien, " I ca
Deluna Hansen."Alpha Asher seeks for your presence," The guard informs, coming in through the entrance but I barely pay attention to him or even give a reply. I remain where I am, still and minding my knitting, an habit I've been sticking to since it's the only thing that gives me a feeling of having a clear head. It's the only thing that renders me out of my worries. I've faced death twice but I'd never think I would really face the death of my wolf...Even Sage can't help my situation and they say it's a miracle that I'm still alive. But it doesn't feel like being alive, it feels like being dead...But you're able to breathe. Asides from breathing, you can't do anything else. I'm no longer Luna... I'm not even a werewolf anymore. I'm just a mere human; the species of creature I hate the most and even Zia is more redeemable than me. Where the strong and most respected alpha has gone to? I have no idea and the tale is certainly a long list of broken words that I can't put together but
Antoinette."If everything goes as planned, he should soon be here. " Old witch tries to convince me."If everything goes as planned...? " I linger on my thoughts as I stare back at the message. There's neither a reply nor a call from him yet and it's being three hours already since it delivered. Yet, he isn't here. What if everything doesn't go as planned? Then everything is a waste...? Belvedere is the smart type, can't be easily deceived and might find out this is only a plan to get to him...Or what if Lilian's spell didn't work on her and they're still perfectly together? The thought of me loosing to that pretty thing makes me fume and want kill Lillian already. But I promise I would, just not now. But when the door opens, interrupting my thoughts rudely and the man I call my fiance enters, I can only think how good a team we make: Lillian and I but too bad, I don't love to keep accomplices. "Where are you, witch?"I watch him snarl and laugh... if only he knows he's only being s
Adalfieri."You have to calm down, Elve. Although her health is critical right now, there's still something we can do to make her alive once again," Hybrid, Luna's attending doctor tells me after seeing Lina out of the room. His look hints me up and I can tell where he's driving at already...But I'm ready to sacrifice anything for her... And even if it has to be a part of my life, I don't care. I'd put her in all these so it's my responsibility to make sure she makes it through the storms. If I hadn't stolen her away that night, she wouldn't have been in all these. Perhaps, she could have been a better Luna and have everything going smoothly... She could've still been very vibrant and strong and fierce and be in charge of her pack and not be in this pitiful state. "You don't have to over think it, Elve. We can still put her under observations. Hopefully, there can be some improvement and we can use some medicines to make her get better." He suggests, feeding me with an hopeless hope
Dalina Hansen."Lina!" My frown deepens when I hear that deep, husky voice behind. I feign ignorance and settle to pour one more shot of whiskey for myself."Drinking?" He lays his heavy self beside me and leans against the backrest, his two huge legs pushing forward, "Didn't you walk in with Biden? How come he lets you drink all by yourself?" He asks. I frown and roll my eyes at that name. I gulp down the chilled liquor and let it burn down my throat."Or did you two fight?" He asks, sitting up. He reaches for an untouched bottle of liquor and tears off its tab. I watch him take two large sips of alcohol directly before placing it on the floor."Why do you think we did?" I ask, interested in his opinion for the first time. I have no idea if I should refer what happened between Romano and I as a fight or not but whatever it is, we never had an argument and he was being all romantic and possessive until sudden. It breaks me that he has to do that just when I'm beginning to consider an
Dalina Hansen.I wipe my right cheek after shutting the door. My stupid heart rams harder and I'm tempted to find a place to cry. If I'll be honest, my wolf is in total misery, broken by his harsh words and it's harder to pretend everything's okay with me. I sigh and bite my bottom lip, not minding if I'd ruin the paint. Deciding to ignore my broken soul and act nonchalantly to his treatment, I search around the party for a small deserted island but it's all filled with people hanging in twos and threes."Ms Lina!" I frown when Rex appears before me dressed in a white shirt and black pants and beside him, in similar dress, is another hunk who looks much more attractive than Rex, although with similar golden eyes. No, he doesn't look Italian. Another Asian friend of Romano? Should I be sick of them? "Lina, I wasn't expecting to see you again so soon. I thought Romano was going to travel out of the country with you since he told me he would be away for some time. I didn't know he would
