LUNA ALEX
After a few minutes of Heather begging me I finally had agreed to talk to her. I unlocked the restaurant doors and we both sat across from each other at a booth."I loved your father." Hearing her say those words made me want to gag. She didn't love him, she couldn't have. How can you love him when you left him and broke his heart? "One day I met this man and I fell in love with him. I was given a choice-."Blah. Blah. Blah."And you chose him, over me and dad." I finished for her."I did, but I never expected that you would be ripped away from me. Your father did everything in his power to keep you away from me.""Dad wouldn't do something like that," I said getting angry that she would accuse the man that raise me of doing that. "And even if he did, it was probably for a good reason. You're clearly an unfit mother." I knew those words were gonna hurt her, but I didn't care. After everything she put me and my dad, though, she deserves it.She was shocked by what I had said but she didn't let that stop her from continuing. "I know you're hurt. But I really want to be in your life. You have a little sister and I want you guys to meet." She said hopeful.That was the last straw. Not only had she left me for another man but she also had started another life and had another daughter to replace me.Thanks for your support!"Get out," I ordered.She grabbed a hold of my hand, "Alex.""GET OUT." I ripped my hand from her."Her name is Megan, she really needs her big sister." She grabbed her purse and headed towards the door."Like I needed a mother." It was when I heard the door shut that I begin to cry.When I got home that night I couldn't help but pull out my laptop and search for Heather on F******k. A couple of years ago she had sent me a friend's request which in return I blocked her. I didn't want her to be able to keep tabs on me and what was going in my life.When I got to her page I clicked on her photos. There I saw pictures of her, the man she left us for and a young girl that was in her teens, who I assume was Megan. To me, they look like the perfect family. Way better than we ever did.<><>ALPHA RYANIt was just like Lily to not tell me she had a date to the Summer Moon Bash. It wasn't until 2 hours ago that I was informed when he showed up at my doorstep. He had run in wolf form all the way here just so he could ride with Lily and the others to Crescent Moon Pack.A month ago when our cousin Ellie had left the pack to travel the world she had met her mate, Alpha Noah of the New Elite pack. Shortly after they met I had allowed Lily to go visit her. There she had met a pup named Elliot who she had deemed her date for this evening and the remainder of the trip. Apparently it was also the same person that she had been and spending hours talking and texting."Who said you were allowed to date?" I asked her, as I watched her get her makeup done by Linda, an older lady in the pack."Me and Elliot are not dating, we're just friends.""Do you think he's your mate?" I asked."I don't know." She grinned. "I kind of hope so." She flushed red.Just a sec…we've got a ad loading up.I've never seen her act this way about a boy. She never even showed any interest in boys. Just like me, we both believed that we should wait for our mate."Are you sure?"She sighed, "I don't know."Thanks for your support!"Fine, you can go." I agreed. "I'm gonna go have a little talk with him.""No!" She got up from the chair to stop me from going downstairs. "You will not embarrass me.""I'm not. I'm just gonna have a talk with him." I smirked."Promise me you won't embarrass me." She begged."Promise, now let go of me." She let me go and I went downstairs while she went back to getting her makeup done."Alpha." he bowed when I entered the room. "I'm Elliot." He stuck his hand out for me to shake. He was about 6 foot tall with short blonde hair. He was wearing black dress pants and white button down."Alpha Ryan." I shook his hand and sat down on the couch across from him. "So, Elliot tell me about yourself.""Well, as you probably know I'm part of the New Elite pack.""Yes, and what is your rank?"Ranks were very important. For me, it determines whether or not you could protect yourself.You can now scroll to the next chapter"Pack fighter." I nodded in approval."Family?""My parents are retired. They spend most of their time helping out around the pack. My sister is mated to the Beta in the Moonlight Pack." I couldn't help but growl at the mention of the Moonlight Pack.The history between both of our packs goes way back. We were once allied until and unfortunate rogue attack that happened years ago, that could have been prevented if they were more responsible. They were the reason why my aunt and uncle and many other members of my pack were dead. If I ever came in contact with anyone from the Moonlight Pack I would kill them without hesitation."Don't you ever speak of that despicable pack ever!" I growled."Sorry, I didn't mean to, um..." It was evident in his voice that he was aware of the rivalry between our packs.Before he got to further explain himself, Linda entered the room and ushered us to the bottom of the steps to watch Lily overdramatic grand entrance.You can now scroll to the next chapter"Introducing Ms. Lily Steward." She walked slowly down the steps, probably so she wouldn't fall. Her hair was curled and she was wearing 6-inch black heels."Overdramatic much." She ignored me and continued to walk down the steps until she stood in front of Elliot."You look beautiful," He said as he handed her the flowers the he had brought. The way they looked each other in the eye while this was happening made me feel uncomfortable, it felt like an intruder in a very intimate moment."Enough love birds," I said making Lily blush. I turned to Elliot. "Listen up because if even a strand of hair is out of place I won't hesitate to kill you." I heard Lily groan from behind me. "You guys are not to share rooms and there will be no kissing or touching. Understand?""Yes, Alpha Ryan." He bowed his head to show some respect."Okay, can we go now?" Lily pouted."Good," I smiled, before mind linking Linda to bring the camera. "Now who's ready for pictures?" I said overly happy.Which in response made Lily groan, "I told you not to embarrass me."ALPHA RYANThree Months Later Slowly the pack began to rebuild and eventually things were back to normal- well as normal as things could be without my father and a dozen other pack members. My mother was still grieving and still remained in her room for the majority of the day, only coming out when I had forced her to. Lily, on the other hand, was blocking everything out as if nothing had every happened. She dedicated most of her time to working at the diner and into her school work, barely leaving any time for any regular teenage activities.The anger that I had towards my father was still present in my heart I would eventually have to deal with these emotions but for now, I was focusing primary on my pack and keeping everyone safe. "Any usual activities around the borders?" I asked Tyler at one of our daily meeting that I had put in place since the attack on my pack."Not at all, with the constant patrolling there's no way anyone is getting in or near our territory with us knowing.
LUNA ALEX Shortly after that we packed up and headed home despite it being one in the morning. During the duration of the car ride, I refused to talk with Ryan, him refusing to apologize pissed me off but him talking to be that way was unacceptable and I wasn't going to stand for it. "You're just gonna continue to ignore me." He asked through our mind link. Plugging in my headphones I used Frank Ocean's new album to tune him out. Hours had passed until we had finally made it back to the territory, it was early in the afternoon and because I was eager to get away from him I quickly changed into comfortable clothes and headed to the restaurant not bothering to tell Ryan where I was headed.It was going on two p.m. when I arrived to work. "Well look what the cat dragged in. Nice for you to come to work." Lily commented as I entered the place and immediately put on my apron."Nice to see you again Lily." I picked up a notepad behind the counter."Hey, boss lady." The twins waved at me. "
LUNA ALEX"I just can't believe this happened." Ellie cried in disbelief. As soon as I opened the door she pulled me into a hug, crying she drenched my shirt with her tears.According to Ryan, Paul had been a father figure to Ellie ever since her parents died, losing him had clearly been just as hard to her as everyone else. Her mate Noah only came in for a few second before leaving to go talk with Daniel to make sure that the pack was okay."I can't even remember the last time we had a real conversation. With work and the argument about Elliot, I've just been so busy and-and-." Lily cut herself off by bursting into tears. She was referring to the night at The New Elite Pack which was the last time they talked and that was an argument between the two. With the both of them being so stubborn they refused to give in making that the last time they spoke.I rubbed her back to comfort her while trying to not let my own emotions take over. I didn't know Paul that well but he was Ryan's fath
Shortly after my conversation with Hailee ended we learned that Paul had been killed. The screams of Lisa could be heard from a mile away, same for Lily. They were inconsolable which eventually lead to Lily been transported upstairs where she and her mother could grieve together and so that they could also not be a distraction to Avery and I who were still trying to put all the pieces together.Hailee getting in contact with me had served as a good idea. We had narrowed down the list of possible locations where are mates were and now both of our available wolves were on their way to find our Alphas. Our only wish was for them both to be alive when we found them."They have spotted them." Avery relayed the message from Tyler to me."What's happening? Is Ryan okay?" I asked without frantically. While I could still feel the mate bond it was faint and I had no idea what that meant."Ryan and Max are fighting."I stiffen knowing that Max had to be strong and wise for all the planning and m
LUNA ALEX Before Paul and Lisa had mated he had been involved with another woman. Shortly after he had met Lisa he had kicked her out of the pack and unknowingly she had been pregnant with his child. Maxwell Steward.A few years back Max had gotten in touch with Paul. He was living with a group of rogues and had been going low on money and supplies. With Paul being his father Max had assumed that Paul would come to his aid and allow him to join his family. Unfortunately, Paul thought of Max as being the poison that could ruin his family, he wrote him a nice check and sent Max away. For him to only come back a year later and attack his pack along with many others, and now he was back again. This time stronger, wiser and even more pissed off."Why didn't he just tell me; we could have worked things out?" Lisa cried to Edward who had just finished telling us all of Paul's deep dark secrets.He sighed. "He thought that it could ruin your guy's family."She forced a laugh, "Well that's ex
ALPHA RYAN "Do I know you?"He smirked. "No, but I know you.""Um-..." Mason said waiting for the guy to fill in the blank."Max. My name is Max.""Right. If your beef is with Ryan what do, I have to do with this?" Mason asked and I expected nothing less from this bastard and if we were in the opposite situation and a group of rogues were after him I wouldn't even blink when they begin attacking him.He looked to Mason with an evil smile. "Oh, you have a lot to do with this." He rubbed his hand together excitedly. "Time for story time.""You do know that our pack will come for us and they will kill all of you." I threaten him. Tyler was already aware that I was going after rogues and when he eventually couldn't get in contact with me, he would come after me."They won't make it, I have more than enough wolves to keep you guys busy, and that's including your allies." He explained."Doubt it," I said under my breath. There was no way that he had that many rogues risking their lives for
