One Luna, Three Hated Alphas 150
NIKKI “Nikki, please, would you?” she sighs. "I have less than five days, please don't complicate things for me, lady simplicity.”A deadly silence follows afterwards. It lingers for the longest, and there's not a single sign of it coming to an end, not anytime soon. “At least, let me in. Please.” I break the silence, the thumping of my heart so loud, I bet she could hear it from the other end. “This is the closest you can get to me on this matter.” She sighs. “At least let's have a heartfelt conversation.” I plead. "You never can tell how much we would accomplish.”"Jeez, Nikki, sit this one out. If you don't care about me so much, then how about baby Hendrix, your godson? We can't disrupt the whole process...”"We won't if we do the right thing.” I try to sound convincing even though I can't believe my lies. “There's nothing right about any of this, his abduction, the ransom, my life, all of it.”"You can't let her make you feel like shit, you...”"Okay, that's it. I'm done. Yo

CHRIS It all feels like a dream, she is here one minute and out the next. All my life, I've spent it alone, defending the lack alone, being a one-man army and a freaking loner. And when Wild Crest pack met its ruins, I lived a little, had fun and women and sex, knowing that I may be the next victim of the cruel soldiers. But then Aaliyah walked back in with her mates to save us. She saved the pack and saved me from loneliness. One thing I can't stop thanking her for. And now? I messed up like I always do. I started this journey of being an alpha with Nikki, She was there at my coronation, right by my side and when I switched to the beast in me, she ran off, but not beyond arm's length. On that cold and crazy night, she gave me her shoulder and her body, and her mind. She gave me every freaking thing! I built this pack from ashes with her help, and her wisdom even though she was no expert. She gave this pack a reason to believe in my dreams and words. She gave me her time and her

CHRIS The shocked look on the elders’ faces, is enough to make me stop the madness immediately, but I’m far too gone to yield to its control. If the Beta were here, he would disapprove of such an insult and he might withdraw right there and then. Well, let's say all that matters most to me is my Luna, right by my side where she belongs. So, the pack can go ahead and displace me as their Alpha, that's if they can... Not like I bother. “Alpha Chris, you need to calm down for a moment and hear us out.” The third elder suggests, speaking up for the first time since arrival.I look at him keenly, like no one just spoke. My non-verbal cues doing the most. For a while, he maintains eye contact, pain evident in his gaze, before he looks away and faces down out of respect for their alpha. “Well, there's nothing rational what's going on here as we speak. So, there will be no need to beat about and just call it a day.” "We're just to decide on a stand, all that we've done since arrival is st

CHRIS The journey is longer than expected, perhaps the rider is doing it on purpose to get on my nerves. It's certain, I’m freaking paranoid, a loose ruler and maybe he wants to taste more of my bitterness. “Move this shitty carriage!” I yell through the opening and to the driver. The speed doesn't increase like it should, but it also doesn't remain the same. Just a slight difference, worthy enough to exclude him from being punished further. It takes a long while before the scenery begins to make sense. The pack houses and trees dispersion and landscape. We're in Orlando, alas! I exclaimed to myself. The pressure within me intensifies like an inflated balloon, almost sending my heart to shreds. I won't only be facing Nikki, but the three alphas and worse still, Aaliyah. How the heck can I work my way past the hurdles and moreover, go back to my pack with my mate, their Luna? I sigh. It would have been easier if she had gone to her home and not Aaliyah’s. It won't take a lot of c

CHRISHe doesn't respond to me, rather, he walks to the seat in the middle, which I presume is meant for the leading Alpha, and sits on it. The silence between us is like a deadly weapon, brewing hate and stirring up our defences. The only noise palpable is our laboured breaths and the hard grinning of his teeth. The tension arising is getting thicker and more scary. If a fight t that's almost inevitable should ensue, I will be at a disadvantage, considering it's not my pack. As obstinate as I am, I rather go home a wounded soldier, with my mate by my side, than untouched and without a mate. I've been here just once, after the vacation at Nikki’s home, we stopped by Orlando pack for two nights, before we ended our journey. I turn to leave the main chamber, with a different purpose altogether, aware of the room Nikki will probably be in. "I'm glad you talked some senses into your dumb skull. I would have done it gladly for you.” He grins. "I'm glad you chose the better title, 'dumb

MELLISSA For frustrating minutes that seem to drag by, I remain hidden, away from people, and away from my sin. I cover my face thoroughly with my scarf and double my pace. When I am far away from people's eyes, I take to my heels and divert into a small corner. Finding solace in the canopy of trees and shrubs and odd serenity, I begin to sob. My heart throb like hell and I don't fight the hurt and pain and sting. I remain on my butt and cry a river, my head is horribly banging and aching like shit. Crying to my satisfaction, I wipe my wet cheeks with my palms, get off the damp soil, and dust the butt of my dress with the back of my hands. And making sure no one is watching, I take a narrow path that disappears into the wild. Ever since I committed the grave sin against baby Hendrix, our lady, that was nothing but sweet to me and protective about me and to the entire back, I took to hiding. It's more like even though I get what I wanted from the sin, it isn't going to be worth it,

MELLISSA.I must have drifted asleep while lost in thought, with both baby Hendrix’s dress and my mama's wrapper in my hands. Not like I expected better while I slept, but it isn't bad either to hope for a miracle. Like my mama at the corner of the house, cooking and cheerful, or merrily cutting her veggies as she sings like a morning bird. Not being fortunate with a miracle, I wake up lonely and even worse than I slept, I woke up more confused than I was before I took a nap. It's been approximately two weeks and extra days, since she went missing, with no clue of her whereabouts. What is she like at the moment, what is she surviving on? Is the food and water healthy, and is it sufficient for her? Worse still, is she still alive? I fight back tears. The rumblings from my stomach, make me clutch my arms around my abdomen, guarding it roughly. It's been quite a while since I had something to eat, not entirely because I’m grieving, but partly because I have only a few supplies left.

NIKKI I curl up in bed, like it's the safest place to be, and my bed sheet is half soaked with my tears, as I cry and sniff my way through. The banging in my head intensifies, with too much going on, I don't expect less. I thought I had moved on, I can't erase the fact that I despise him for what he did to me, and missed him every now and then, and that's it until he resurfaced. For a moment, I went numb, unsure of how to react. His obstinate self was been dragged out of the main house, as he struggled with the guards, his white dress was blood-stained and his body was bruised. He looked at me, his eyes beckoning to me without a word and I was totally paralysed. A part of me wanted to run to him and keep him warm from our body contacts and nurse him to recovery. And another part gladdens me as I watch him groan in pain. I knew it was Alpha Hudson, it had to be. He had promised to make him pay and he saw to it. I should probably thank him for watching out for me and ask that he do

One Luna, Three Hated Alphas Epilogue
THIRD PERSON’S POV. By nightfall, the alphas, Aaliyah and Nikki ride in a carriage, while the warriors of Orlando match quietly to the border of Moon Howlers pack. It takes them long hours to arrive at the spot and the place is as quiet and deserted as can be. The only presumptive sign was the sacks of sand heaped on themselves to form a shield. Nikki takes the lead and directs them to the shelter at the secluded spot, very well hidden from the border. The three alphas replace her, with Aaliyah by the side, ready to rescue her baby once they burst in. Fortunately, the door is made of ancient wood that's already rotting away and the hinges are half gone. In a silent count of three, they kick the door down in unison and rush in. The noise sends Shelly and Chris flying and baby Hendrix crying from a disrupted sleep. Shelly instantly rushes towards the baby, to use him as bait and protect herself. But before she gets to him, Hudson is swift to throw a pocket knife in her directi

THIRD PERSON’S POV Nikki arrives at the pack house tired and weak. Her dress is torn in some places, with her skin bruised from falls and scratches from wild plants. Her feet are the worst, it look so dirty like she trekked in gutters and pits. The door opens with the guards signalling the others to call Lady Aaliyah and the alphas. “Welcome, lady Nikki.” The guard by the hate greets as Nikki walks in, heading towards the house. He looks out for insiders and satisfied none is forthcoming, he jams the door and closes it. Aaliyah rushes down and meets Nikki dragging her feet like a child, with her muddy footsteps evidence of her traces. "Nikki darling, what happened to you?” she holds her firm, not minding that she both looks and smells horrible. Rather, Nikki begins to sob. Hot tears burn her cheeks as she keeps sobbing. "Go ready her bath." Aaliyah orders a maid who takes to her heels immediately. When they arrive in Nikki's room, Aaliyah dismisses the maids, strips her frien

AALIYAH. The night has me rolling recklessly on the bed. I keep counting every second, down to noon. With each passing minute, the promise of having my baby by my side becomes clearer, and the risk of dragging the three alpha there more scary. Curiosity eats me deep, the need to know the location burns hotter than any desire. And somehow, I'm glad that Nikki is away, for reasons best known to herself. It's barely 11:45 pm, and the night draws on, much longer than expected. Frustrated, I sit up, still lost in my thoughts. Unable to sleep, I wear my robe and go to the gate. The servants are half asleep and one gasps when he finally wakes up to see me before him.“Good evening, my lady.” He wipes the last of sleep off his eyes. “Evening. I'm expecting a letter tomorrow, I don’t know when it's coming, but please, stay off the gate to not scare anyone away.” I want. I'm scared of the consequences if we nab one of them. “Alright, ma.” He assures. I go up, and happy that nothing would

NIKKI. I remain quiet for a while, and totally immobile. "I bet I heard something.” Shelly insists. My breath is almost on hold, as I struggle to fathom what is behind me. At this point, I didn't care much about being busted or punished or yelled at... I just didn't care at all. It's more like life is playing a trick on me. All along, he has something to do with Shelly. Why then was he always riled up when I mentioned her name or went to seek for her welfare? Why then did he make it seem like she is the monster? Not like right now she is any short of it. How low Chris has reduced me to. Hot tears burn my cheeks and I let it flow slowly as I remain numb for the longest. Footsteps approach, and I find myself creeping like a child away from the window, crawling and crying and praying I don't meet one of them. This is indeed a risk, and I honestly can't tell how much it's worth, because it leaves me mentally insane. The window opens, and I’m already on the other side, crying my lun

NIKKI. The box I am in lifts from the ground halfway and then drops. I hear the faint grunting of a lady, I suppose it's the maid. It stops soon after the box returns to the ground. It goes up again, and then levels flat on the ground. "Is it that heavy? Try harder, Alpha Chris will soon be on our necks.” A male voice pleads. Seeing what Chris did to the poor driver, I feel sorry for him, hoping he doesn't take the fall yet again. "It surely is heavy, I bet you know. Please, you would need to seek the help of your fellow. This is the best I can go.” "Jeez, you ladies, and bailing out on the slightest hardship.” He sighs. Somehow, I'm silently laughing inside, thinking to myself that these two have some chemistry. Because this argument can't be about my weight, a petite lady like myself that Chris scoops at will. “I don't know what you mean, but I can't do this. Even if I did, I wouldn't go beyond the corridor, and I would end up breaking my back.” "So?" He lifts up his

NIKKI We ride pass the market, with very few people and it's almost as quiet as a graveyard. It's quite early, and I won't fault them for being in bed, either sleeping to their death or cuddling in the arms of their lover. And I don't have the luxury to afford any, so yeah, I’m busy studying their lives and praying mine doesn't fall apart. Down from the central areas to the outskirts, we journey quietly and it takes long hours to get out of Orlando pack. Such a powerful pack, Aaliyah is lucky. I sigh. It's still very early in the morning, the sun is yet to rise fully and I can barely appreciate the landscape, my little way of freeing my mind and not exploding. It takes very long hours before we arrive at Wild Crest pack’s border. When we get closer to the main house, I ask the rider to stop. I take out a pair of black pants from my bag, bathed in a random servant’s perfume, to go undetected by Chris. Taking off his hoodie, I sniff it for the last time and throw on a baggy polo. I

NIKKI.Still in shock and unsure of what to believe, I decide to confront Chris, and doing it over a letter, would mean him denying it or nothing to him at all. Of a truth, I’m done with this sham of a union, but for the longest that he received me, I desperately need an explanation. And if she's wrong, there's a high possibility that I would give him a second chance to be a better mate. Either way, it's a win for me. I proceed to pack my back, not all of it, just a few things I would need if I decide to remain in Wild Crest pack for a few more days. Ready, I walk out of my room, tightly clad in a big hoodie, to prevent the cold. Chris’ hoodie. It's one of the possession I stole, sniffing it every damn minute I think of him. I'm almost at the hate when I halt. I'm yet to tell Aaliyah. Do I still want to make it a secret? Yes. But she would make a big fuss if I didn't tell her a good reason for my sudden departure. She only needs to be briefly informed. Besides, the second letter

SHELLY. He went on and on until I had no more strength to continue. I simply quake in beneath him and moan for mercy, the same mercy I asked him to never grant me. And as he promised from the onset, he remains firm in his words. He bends me over, switching positions like a messed-up child and bringing me to tears. After a while, he lets me be, but I’m certain it isn't because he's exhausted. He settles on the floor and levels my naked skin on himself, skin to skin, providing the best warmth and tender touches. I sniff his masculine scent that's now mixed with a fine blend of our juices in the cold night’s air. His sudor that's sweet smelling rather than a stench to me. Weak and satisfied but greedy regardless, I nestle like a baby in his arms. Just cuddling and mild romance would do, so long as I feel him on myself. His warmth is enough to keep me from the cold, and his muscles, were my shield from the wild. I rub on the bare of his arm, stroking my fingers along its length. Inde

SHELLY.Bored, I take a stroll around the premises, careful enough not to wander too far. Lady Agnes has gone home with Petian, leaving me alone with baby Hendrix like it's always been for almost two weeks now. The night is cold, and so is the weather, as a cool breeze kisses my skin, awakening goosebumps on my bare flesh. This isn't the safest place, but I've not dismissed Lady Agnes’ offer to send guards down here. I believe it shouldn't be a bother, because it would mean drawing much attention to what needed to be as discreet as imagined and you can't guarantee they won't spill. Plus, I've not seen a reason to want their help, besides, the plan is yet to ripen, and two days before the said date, I would accept her offer. Ready to retire for the night, I turn around to retrace my steps, when I see a huge frame in the dark, the dim night light is of little help. I take a step backward, two and then three, until I’m out of count. The huge frame keeps walking towards me, at the sam
