Alpha inched closer to me in his crouched position and cupped my cheeks, "it's okay," he said in a whisper, "I'm so sorry I'm left you by yourself, I shouldn't have, it's all my fault," he kissed my forehead and then proceeded to break me free from the bond they had put me in.He stared at my face and softly took my lips in his, and in that instant, I gained complete contr of my body once more. I felt myself go limp. Alpha lifted me in his arms bridal style and turned around to leave with my mum trailing behind him in panic, "alpha what happened? How did this happen?!"The murmurs from the pack as they went into panic was completely ignored by alpha as he kept his gaze on me, "hang in there Take, okay, please."I felt myself slip into complete unconscious, the noise and panic swirling around in my head.*I woke up to the smell of something herbal. Alpha was sitting cross-legged in front of a fire he must have made, sweat trickling down his face and body as he plucked leaves off a st
Alpha kept his arms wrapped around me from behind, squeezing me closer to him. “It's fine. I'm just glad that you're here with me." I nodded at him as he continued to stare at the sky. "Are we going to stay here forever?""No. As long as we find a solution for you, I think it's better for your healing. I'm going to get to the bottom of this. I’ll go back to this man that helped us with Riggs," I immediately shook my head, looking back at him. "Please, no, let's not do that. I don't want him to say something about having to sacrifice someone close to me. Please, let's figure this out on our own. There is this woman I met the other time. She was one of the people you brought for these surprises, and she was someone I met in the wolf from when I was back with Mint. She said that I killed her child.” I told him, “but I don't remember any of that happening. I mean, I didn't at the moment, but now memories of this kind of slotted back, and I think it had something to do with..." I trailed o
I stared at the cup in his hand in shock. I was expecting him to offer it to me, but a part of me was still hoping that he didn't come here to deceive my mum again.I tried my best to hide my emotions with the Red Wolf wondering to show up. This was the best time. Instead, I decided to break into a smile."You know, I don't think we ever spoke properly after that incident," I told him, taking the cup from him and putting it beside me.He bowed his head at me. "No, Luna. I don't think we did.”“Oh you can drop the title." I waved one hand in front of him. You and I both know that I am no longer the leader of the pack. And that is really after how everyone treated me. It's just you and I here. Let's drop the honorary titles."He kept his head bowed. "I can't do such things with disrespect to you. I'll always be loyal to the Alpha and his luna."He bowed my head back at me. He looked up at me and after a moment of silence and. There was a hint of relaxation."So how did you and my mom ma
We got back inside. Clarion was sitting on the floor, lost in thought, and he literally flinched. He got to his feet and bowed his head at us. "You're back." He noticed the cup in our first hands this time. And I could see the discomfort that settled on his face. Alpha Was going to say something when my mom walked in. He turned to look at her and nodded. “Perfect. I was just waiting for you to show up to have this discussion.”Alpha lifted the cup in his hands to Clarion’s face and raised one eyebrow at him. "Can you tell me exactly what this drink is supposed to be?""Oh, I already explained it to Luna, but it's supposed to help her ease her stress."Alpha nodded, staring at him a little."What's going on?" My mum came to whisper in my ear. But I couldn't respond to her. I was focused on the conversation that Alpha was having with Clarion.Alpha's eyes first fluttered to Clarion's hands and then back to his face with one raised eyebrow before adding, "You seem pretty stressed yours
I watched from a long distance as everyone began to gather in the courtyard as Alpha's others and a lot of people were definitely confused. Mumbles could be heard miles away from the pack house. Alpha had Clarion in his hand, without caring about what they would say, he dumped his unconscious body to the floor, earning a few gasps from everyone."Hello," as soon as he began to speak, they all went dead silent. "I know you are all surprised to see your Alpha here after he renounced the pack, but I wanted to say something to you all and take this as a learning point. You see this man here, Clarion, has been one of my trusted workers. A lot of you witnessed what went wrong with the Luna, and you turned your backs against her and saw how easy it was for me to give up on the pack for her. You know how much I cherish my position as the alpha."His eyes wandered through the crowd, and somehow they found me. And they stayed on me for a second before he continued his speech again. "But I want
I took my shirt off, watching as Alpha filled the bathtub with water. I looked around the bathroom and took in the beautiful decor, a sight I never thought I would witness in my life.Alpha came towards me, held my hand, and led me into the bathroom . He cupped my face, a frown etched on his face as he noticed that my expressions were a bit stiff. "Is something wrong?" He asked, scrutinizing my face for my emotions.I held his hand, which was pressed against my cheek. "I don't know. I just feel a little weird. It feels wrong to be back here after everything that happened. What if they are judging me?" I swallowed. "Or worse, what if the thing that Clarion has been preparing for me is permanent or maybe it’s not the only thing responsible?"" I'm not sure I have any encounter with him giving me anything to drink as we barely even have that type of interaction, so I’m not sure how he skipped anything into my meals or drinks. What if I still get the hallucinations? I mean, it was really
As Alpha left, I felt like I had nothing to do with my life. The pack members were slowly returning to normal, and it was as if nothing had happened. Some students even resumed school, and people went about their daily work, except for those leading the pack. Everything seemed to be in its place. Then I remembered the source of the problem in the first place, Clarion.I slowly made my way to the dungeon, i had been trying to avoid interacting with him due to the trauma he caused me but I couldn’t stall for long. I knew I needed to understand the source of this. One of the warriors stood at the door and bowed his head at me. "Do you know where he's staying? Where is his cell?"He pointed in the direction of a cell all alone in the far end of the room. I went there and saw Clarion seated with his back to me. I put my hand to my mouth, shocked by the scars on his body. I knew alpha wouldn’t take it easy on him to begin with but I was still amused., I didn’t think it would be to this e
The moment I shuffled the bed, Alpha’s husky voice came awake, pulling me and tugging me towards him, wrapping his arms tightly around me. “Where do you think you're going so early in the morning?” He whispered against my neck. I smiled at him, pressing my back against his chest. “I just thought that I should fulfill my luna duties,” I said, turning around in his embrace so that I was facing him directly. “What do you mean luna duties?” He partially opened his eyes. “Well, in the past day that we were gone, I know that there is so much to do and I feel really bad for those that were affected by my raving madness. I just want to be able to fix them, and I feel so guilty sleeping comfortably, knowing that I stripped some people of their comfort.” He groaned, “Can't you do that later in the day?” I really want you here with me right now.” I pressed his head against my chest, smiling and stroking my fingers through his hair. He said in a whiny voice, pouting, “stay with me…” “Do
