CHAPTER 4: KIND LUNA?

                    ALPHA ASHER'S POV

I left the room, feeling stupefied at my reaction. I had touched her just to make her keep quiet and realize how dangerous I am but touching her, I felt a strange sensation in my body that surprised me. 

There was something in her body that kept pulling me in, making it impossible for me to taunt her like I wanted to. Somehow, it annoyed me and I had to wait by the door for an hour or more before I could gather my thoughts. 

"Who is she?" I kept asking myself as I walked down the stairs. "She is dangerous," I added after minutes of thinking without getting any satisfying answer. 

The reason I brought someone like her home was because I knew I would never fall in love with someone like her. All my life, I had mated with strong women, busty and curvy but she is weak, slim, and not as curvy as I want. No matter what... I knew I would never fall in love with her. 

"Alpha Asher" Luke called me the moment I got downstairs, pulling me out of my trance. 

I raised my head and gave him a questioning look. "Is anything wrong?" I asked him when I saw the worry etched on his face.  

He rubbed his hand together and let out a deep breath. "Brother..." He called. 

"Alpha." I corrected and he sighed. 

"Alpha... All the pack members are assembled downstairs as you ordered." He explained and I cocked my head to the side. 

"So?" Wasn't that what I wanted? Why was he worried because of that?

"The thing is... I don't know how they get to know about the news we are about to share with them but most of them are already talking about it and do you know what they all have in common; The plan to test the new Luna and see if she is worthy enough to be their Luna." He explained to me and I frowned. 

"How did they know about the news? The people that should know about it as of now are Me, You, and the maids that attended to her.  Call the maids for me." I ordered, anger surging through my veins. 

One thing I hated about my workers is they not keeping their mouths shut and babbling around about what they saw and did not. The first thing in keeping workers is to make sure they would keep their secrets and never let the world know what they shouldn't; This had been my moral and my maids were very strict on that.  When did they start lagging?

Have I been so gentle on them lately? Whatever the matter is, it would be taken care of today and it will be over too. 

Luke nodded his head and quickly sent a message to all the maids in the house. The other workers were yet to see her and they didn't know about her, the only people that knew about her were the maids. So, they were the ones called. 

In a few minutes, over 200 maids were already standing in front of Luke and me with their heads bowed. They couldn't raise their heads to look at us but they were already shivering. 

"Who among you spread the news about the new Luna?" I asked and they all glanced at each other. 

"It's not me."

"It wasn't me"

"The new Luna?"

"Do we have a new Luna? Since when?"

"Was it you who shared it?"

"I didn't share it... I know nothing about it."

Even though they were only whispering, their annoying voice kept entering my ears left and right but they were all denied. Truly, almost 80% of them hadn't seen the new Luna yet but they must have been told by those that had seen her. So, seeing the way they were lying through their teeth annoyed me to death and I wanted to teach them a cruel lesson. 

"Part!" I hollered and they immediately parted into two. I pocketed my hands and moved to stand in their midst. "Raise your heads and look at me," I ordered. 

They hesitated for a while before they finally raised their heads but they lowered it immediately and I groaned. "I just said, RAISE YOUR HEAD!" I repeated, my eyes glowing.

They all raised their heads and looked at me, fear gripping their souls. Even though they had worked for me for years, they never had the chance to look at me in the face before because, to them, I am a devil, a cold monster who kills like an unrestrained killing machine. 

"Who among you spread the news about the new Luna?" I asked again but they were all quiet this time around.  None of them was saying anything... maybe, they were all scared of talking when I was staring at them or maybe they were already frozen just because I asked them to look at me? But I already got the answer I needed. 

Without warning, I disappeared and by the time I reappeared, I had my hand wrapped around the neck of one of the maids. "It is you," I mumbled without looking at her face, my eyes fixed on the rest of the maids who were looking at the maid with terror in their eyes. 

"Me... It... It wasn't... wasn't... me, Sir... I..." The maids stuttered. 

"Keep quiet!" I heard Luke yell at her but I only smirked. 

"I kinda like the fact that you have the gut to lie to my face like this," I said and threw her to the ground. "Tell the truth right now or I will dry you of all energy in your system," I said, feeling a little calm today as it was the day I brought home the 10th Luna. 

Tears rolled down the maid's eyes as she held her neck, trying to steady her breathing. "I... I was on my way to get some leaves outside when one of the Pack members came to me and asked me about the meeting that is to take place in a few minutes. I didn't want to tell him at first but... but he was... my... crush... I've had a crush on him for a long already. So, I decided to tell him. I did not know he would spread the news so much... I'm so sorry. I'm sorry... My Lord." She explained and pleaded with tears running down her face.

How did I know she was the one? It was easy. All I did was check their faces and enter their heads to see what they were thinking. A guilty person would always think about what they did wrong in their head and that made it easier for someone like me to detect the criminal every time. 

My maid had a crush on some Pack members? "How many of you have a crush on Pack members here?" I heard Luke questioned the maids but they all lowered their heads, not saying anything. "As from now henceforth, any of you that has a crush on Pack members will be killed." He announced and I could see the shock on their faces. "Having a crush and revealing all the secrets that should be kept? We'd rather eliminate such a threat than deal with it." He added and I nodded in agreement. 

"As for you, Miss Lover, I won't make your death too painful because you told the truth," I promised the lover maid with a sardonic smile on my face.

I forced my way into her head and started whispering some words into her brain with my eyes still fixed on the maids who were already trembling violently. 

"Ahhhhh!!!" The maid groaned painfully as she rolled on the ground. She tried to stand up but she kept getting pressed down and her fingers kept scribbling on her face as she continued crying in pain. 

Her long black hair turned into a mess with strands of hair appearing in her hand every second due to being pulled out by her. 

"Grooowlll" She growled violently as she transformed into her wolf and entered a rage mode. 

Her eyes turned red as she glared at me but she soon started shrinking and in seconds, she returned to her human form, covered in sweat. 

"You think you can keep your wolf form when you're so weak?" I asked her, feeling disgusted at her dumbness. 

"This is..." I was about to address the other maids when I heard footsteps coming from the steps and I raised my head to see who it was, only to see my Luna in her grace coming majestically toward me. 

I knew people could transform just with little touch but the transformation I saw in her made me open my mouth wide and found it hard to close for some seconds. I knew from the beginning that she was a beauty but seeing her like this made me question my judgment because she wasn't just pretty and sexy alone, she looked royal too. As if she was born to be a powerful Luna!

She walked toward me with a smile on her face. Although I knew the smile was fake, My eyes wouldn't stop glowing as I watched the goddess being led to me. "You're done?" I asked even though I knew the answer but I just wanted to say something so that she wouldn't notice how stunned I was when I saw her looking so sinfully pretty. 

She bowed her head and smiled. "Yes, My Lord." She replied her words, her voice, and her action taking a 360 turn from how she was a few hours ago when I just brought her home.

"What's going on? Who taught her the etiquette of a Luna so fast?" I asked myself and I wished I could ask the maids behind her but that would make me look too interested in her which I did not want.  

"Ahhhhh!" 

The suffering maid screamed behind me and I groaned. I was so lost in my Luna's beauty that I forgot I was punishing someone... I was supposed to have killed her minutes ago. 

"You've suffered enough," I said and turned to her. 

I waved my hand toward her. "Die now," I mumbled. 

"Noo!" I heard a scream behind me and I frowned. I turned my head only to see Luna staring at me with pleading eyes. 

"Please don't kill her. Don't kill her, please." She was pleading for the maid. 

A kind Luna? Funny!

"I want to kill her," I replied to her. 

"Please don't. Just spare her this once." She added, still pleading on the maid's behalf. 

I sneered. "That won't happen, my dear," I replied and with one last wave, The maid gave up the ghost. 

I saw my Luna staggered backward as she watched the maid breathed her last and her face turned pale. A single tear ran down her face but she wiped it immediately and glared at me with hatred in her eyes. 

I scoffed and moved closer to her. I grabbed her waist, pulling her toward me as I bent my head and nibbled at her ear. "This is what you get for crossing an Alpha. I don't need a kind Mate but a vicious one who won't hesitate to kill if warranted. I might have to dispose of you sooner if you continue being so kind." I warned her and released her waist as I pulled back. 

I turned to the maids "Clean this mess and let this be forgotten so that something like this can happen again." I said sarcastically before walking away. 

A kind Luna? I never wanted one nor did I need one.  Seeing her look so weak in front of something so trivial made me hate her so much that I questioned the reason I bought her at the auction. 

"If she is going to be so kind, then she won't last here because she will be killed soon," I mumbled, anger surging through me.

Thinking about it, I realized I had no idea what her name is...
