Stolen Luna By The Rival Alpha Chapter 6: Getting To Know Him Better
SeraphinaI started feeling bad again. The way Alexander acted showed he wasn't expecting this, and he hated it.“Yoohoo! Alexander boy, long time no see.”Three huge men dragged their chairs to our table. Alexander stiffened in his seat. I stared at the table, sensing these men were powerful without needing to ask."Alexander, boy. Haven't seen you here in weeks," the biggest one taunted, slapping Alexander on the back. Alexander didn't seem like the joking type. His face was usually cold and serious."I had no reason to be," Alexander replied with a half-smile, trying to keep him at arm's length. Something in his eyes told me to stay calm, that everything was fine, or that I'd be fine no matter what. "Why are you here on a Saturday night with nothing better to do?""Of course, you're the business," a man replied. Should I ask to go to the bathroom? Should I avoid sudden moves? I was in Alexander's world, one I knew little about. I’m pretty sure these men had a past deal with Alexan
Stolen Luna By The Rival Alpha Chapter 7: Starve of Freedom
Seraphina stood by the window, gazing out at the horizon as she began to talk to a butterfly, as if it was listening to her, her voice barely above a whisper."There are individuals who have a burning desire for power in this world," she mused, her tone carrying a hint of contempt. "It significantly undermines their strength and greatly diminishes their prospects for leading a fulfilling life. I saw it firsthand. The girls who prioritised sleeping with Xandriel were clueless about the consequences they'd face. They had no fucking clue what power really meant."She shook her head, remembering the foolishness of those girls. "I was taken aback by his interest in me, and I've mentioned it before. It had an unusual, almost surreal quality to it."Her reflection stared back at her from the glass, eyes filled with memories. "I had no understanding of love until I crossed paths with Alexander. I had no parents, siblings, or any relatives. It wasn't until I arrived here that I had any. Trust
Stolen Luna By The Rival Alpha Chapter 8: Pulled by Shadows
Seraphina"I thought I told you," Xandriel's voice cut through the air like a knife, making me shiver. My whole body shook. He grinned and tilted his head, staring at my scared face. I could tell he loved seeing me afraid. "Wait for me to start eating before you do. This is my house.""Yes, sir. I'm sorry," I stammered, my voice shaking as his grip on my throat tightened. It was hard to breathe, and panic filled me. I tried to stay calm, knowing that showing more fear would only make him happier."Actually, you are not," he paused and then said with confidence, "But you will be." Xandriel let go of me, and I fell to the ground, feeling a mix of relief and gratitude. My body felt weak and tired. I took deep breaths, trying to calm my racing heart.He made himself a plate of food, acting like nothing had happened. Then, he suddenly flipped the table, and the rest of the food crashed to the floor. The sound of breaking dishes echoed in the room.The dogs quickly ran over and started eati
Stolen Luna By The Rival Alpha Chapter 9: Scratches & Secrets
Seraphina“The back of your legs, all the way down,” Alexander said, stopping to help me stand while he stayed on his knees. “They’re bleeding. How did this happen? What on earth happened?” Once he was up, I looked at him. My body was shaking uncontrollably, like I was having seizures. I couldn’t find my voice—my mouth just wouldn’t work. “You didn’t just stumble upon that place by accident, Seraphina.”Fear gripped me tight, like a vice around my chest. I was sweating and feeling super anxious. My mind was spinning, trying to make sense of everything.“Sorry, I lost my balance,” I said, but it felt wrong and awkward. He probably thought something worse was going on. The truth was way too complicated to explain, even to myself. “I felt some pain in that area.” I could tell he didn’t buy it. I tried to silently plead with him, hoping he could see the urgency and desperation in my eyes.“If you’re hurting yourself because—” His words threw me off. Did he really think I’d hurt myself? Af
Stolen Luna By The Rival Alpha Chapter 10: Whispers of Seraphina
Seraphina “Let’s get it done. It’ll be fun. Tonight, Alexander has some business meetings. How about we go to the mall and have dinner there? I know a great sushi place!” Margo’s excitement was contagious, and her eyes sparkled with determination.“Sure,” I replied, though my voice shook a little. The idea of being in a crowded place made my heart race. Last night’s run-in with those strangers still haunted me, but I tried to hide my fear. I wanted to seem brave, but the truth was, I was scared.I’d never been to a mall before. The girls in my old pack talked about it a lot—a huge place with lots of little shops. They made it sound so exciting and freeing. But I was never allowed to go. Xandriel’s rules kept me trapped, a prisoner in my own life.As we drove to the mall, anxiety twisted in my stomach. The car’s gentle hum was the only thing keeping me calm. Alexander’s house had become my safe haven since I left my pack. But the mall? It felt like stepping into the unknown, a place w
Stolen Luna By The Rival Alpha Chapter 11: Echoes of Survival
SeraphinaI tried to shift the conversation, my voice soft as I said, “No, I’m fine,” mustering a half-smile. I couldn’t help but watch, feeling a mix of guilt and unease, as the cashier meticulously folded each item into the bags. Pajamas, shorts, t-shirts, and pants—simple essentials now bundled with a price tag that made my stomach turn.“652 dollars and 80 cents,” the cashier stated matter-of-factly, handing Margo a sleek black credit card. My heart sank. How could she be so nonchalant about spending such a staggering amount? And most of it was for me, a thought that weighed heavily on my conscience.“Are you crazy? Six hundred dollars?” I blurted out, unable to contain my worry. Margo’s carefree demeanor only heightened my concern as she continued to add more items to our already overflowing cart. What seemed like a shopping spree to her felt like financial recklessness to me.“Have a wonderful day!” The cashier’s cheery farewell felt surreal, especially as she added a satin bow
Stolen Luna By The Rival Alpha Chapter 12: Escape from Xandriel's Grip
Seraphina“Excuse me?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at the person I was helping, who clearly wasn’t hiding their sarcasm.I couldn’t miss the sleek black SUV tailing us, smoothly maneuvering around every corner like it was the king of the road, skipping stop signs and lights.“Why the heck would Xandriel let you hit the mall solo?” I shot back, thinking about Xandriel—someone I knew well but never quite figured out.“He convinced the girls to grab stuff for the new place. Ricci and Kade were with us at first, but they got bored,” Talia explained. “I slipped away when no one was looking.”“Talia, ever wonder what Ricci and Kade actually do?” Her story was getting sketchier, and I wasn’t buying it. “Ricci is Xandriel’s right-hand guy, looking after the female wards. He doesn’t really leave pack land unless it’s important.” A chill settled in my gut, making me uneasy in my seat.“I don’t know much about Ricci. Kade mentioned Xandriel had some jobs for us in exchange for supplies. You know
Stolen Luna By The Rival Alpha Chapter 13: Strength in Small Pack
SeraphinaMy response came out sharp, a hiss escaping my lips. "Forget your apology." The words carried not just frustration towards Talia, but a deeper resentment towards Xandriel and the looming threat of his return."Um, excuse me, but I'm a bit disoriented. I'm not familiar with this location. Can you please tell me where we are?" My voice faltered slightly, betraying the unease gnawing at me."Devil's Pond," Talia answered, her tone apologetic yet tinged with a loyalty that seemed to tether her more to Xandriel's commands than to any solidarity with me."Well, isn't that just typical." I took a deep breath, attempting to quell the rising tide of frustration. Being brought back here was a cruel twist of fate, sparking a surge of defiance as I mentally strategized potential escape routes. Despite my lack of swimming skills, the thought of being taken to an island in the middle of a lake rankled me. "Oh, for goodness sake.""I advise against using her name disrespectfully, Seraphina

Stolen Luna By The Rival Alpha Chapter 308: Thanks, Moon Goddess
As Frederick closed in on Zion, his eyes burned with a fierce desire for revenge. The effects of the sickness still lingered, fueling his rage. “I’ll get you, you traitor!” Frederick roared, his voice echoing with anger.Zion, though fully aware of the gravity of the situation, fought not just for his own survival but for the peace they all desperately sought. “Anastasia only needs you, Frederick!” he pleaded. “Don’t let your anger destroy everything we’ve worked for!”Just as Frederick was about to strike, a voice cut through the chaos. “Hey, hold up!”Anastasia stepped between them, her eyes a mixture of sadness and resolve. “Frederick, come on!” she called out, her voice trembling with a blend of fear and determination. “We need to find another way.”But Frederick, driven by rage, didn’t even glance her way. His focus remained fixed on Zion, and he ignored her plea.Desperate to reach Frederick, Anastasia called out again. “Frederick, it’s me! It’s Anastasia!” Her voice was laced w
Stolen Luna By The Rival Alpha Chapter 307: Play The Villain
“She’s with Zion,” I said casually, watching his face change as fear and anger flashed across his features.“Who is Zion?” His confusion was clear, and I could see that talking about my sister was only making things worse. My hesitation to be completely honest had led us here, but I had to face the consequences.“Xandriel’s kid,” I explained. The fear in Frederick’s eyes was unmistakable. The gravity of the situation was sinking in.Frederick’s frustration flared again. “Are you serious?” he demanded, his voice rising. “Where are they?”“Hey, Frederick, let’s just hang tight,” I said, trying to calm him. “We’ve got a plan, and I’m confident it’s going to work. You’ve got to trust me on this one.” To be honest, I wasn’t sure if I believed myself, but Victor was our last hope. If this plan failed, it would be the end of the line.“I’m here to lend a hand and sort this out,” Frederick pleaded as I removed the final sensors from him, triggering the beeping monitors once more. Despite his
Stolen Luna By The Rival Alpha Chapter 306: Cleaning Up A Mess
“You’re not feeling well,” I said nonchalantly, not even bothering to look at him. It was like fate had led us to this moment. It was wild to think we’d end up here, but it felt like it was meant to be.Frederick let out an exasperated sigh, clearly uncomfortable. “I’ve never been sick,” he said, sounding both frustrated and bewildered. The bed creaked as he shifted, and the sheets rustled around him.“Hey, there’s a first time for everything. Just chill,” I advised, watching as he struggled to sit up. To my surprise, he actually listened, though it was clear the pain was taking its toll. “You’re not the strongest, but that’s totally fine.”“I can’t be weak,” he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper, as he noticed the IV tubes snaking into his arms. The sight of him, once a formidable Warrior, now so vulnerable, was unsettling.I was still angry as he said, “You would either be this way or dead.” The room fell into a heavy silence as he stared at me, his expression one of confusi
Stolen Luna By The Rival Alpha Chapter 305: Until Death
When Darius mentioned dinner plans, Zion grabbed my arm and pulled me away, his urgency almost making me forget we were pretending. As we walked down the hallway, Darius called out, “This party is going to be one for the books!” I clung to Zion, gripping his wrists for support. My mind raced, trying to take in my surroundings in case things went wrong. Zion guided me into a bedroom and closed the door behind us, marking the end of what felt like an interminable journey.“Hugo,” I breathed, my anxiety spiking as I turned to face Zion. Hugo seemed like a real threat to our plans. “Nah, Zion, I just can’t—I really can’t.”Darius’s voice was reassuring as he said, “I won’t let him lay a finger on you, Anastasia. You just have to trust me.” He mentioned a dinner with friends to celebrate Victor, just as Zion had said. “Just gotta get through dinner, and our armies will be here.”I shook my head slightly, grabbing Zion by the shirt. “Can’t stop him. He’s a force to be reckoned with.” Hugo
Stolen Luna By The Rival Alpha Chapter 304: Light In The Dark
“Oh, it’s for Frederick,” I said casually. His name stumbled awkwardly off my tongue. I couldn’t stop thinking about him. I wished we could just be together as we should be—he was the only one I truly loved. We started this journey together. When Frederick wakes up, I’ll be gone, and I have no clue how he’ll handle that.Zion’s curiosity piqued, “How do you do this? Despite everything that’s happened, you still think it’ll get better?” He seemed to have his own scars, a hint of betrayal in his voice.“One day, there’s gotta be a light in the dark,” I replied, trying to stay hopeful. “I didn’t come all this way just to stop now.”Zion placed his hand over mine on the middle console, a casual gesture but one that held a lot of weight. “You good to go? Can you trust me?”“Yeah, I don’t,” I admitted. Looking back, trusting him seemed like my only option. Tomorrow could be a game-changer for Frederick. It’s funny—never thought I’d be the one to take down Winona. Many had tried before me an
Stolen Luna By The Rival Alpha Chapter 303: Game Plan
“I’ve got a couple of things to mention,” I said, trying to keep my voice calm. “My aunt Margo gets away with it. Frederick keeps his distance. I don’t want him anywhere near them.” I gave a nod to indicate that was settled.“Yeah, I agree,” Zion said, casually crossing his arms and leaning back in his chair. “He won’t be waking up for a few days. Diego has enough power to keep him out for a while. Can we wrap this up?” His casual demeanor masked the gravity of the situation as I paced back and forth in front of Nereus, discussing our sneaky plan.“I can work as quickly as you need me to, sweetheart,” Zion assured, though the term of endearment stung. I felt a pang of guilt for going behind Frederick’s back while he lay unconscious, the weight of my actions heavy on my conscience. “This is our only chance. If we mess this up, we’re all going to end up six feet under on that Winona farm. This is our one shot, so we’d better not blow it.”“So, what’s the game plan?” I asked, trying to f
Stolen Luna By The Rival Alpha Chapter 302: The Wolf Was In Control
Curiosity nudged me as I trailed behind Diego and the others. “Do you think he’ll remember anything he did while the wolf was in control?” I asked casually, my voice barely above a whisper.“No way,” Jamie replied. That was the answer I’d hoped for. The thought that he wouldn’t remember my lies or the sting of the needle brought a small, bitter relief. Still, the guilt gnawed at me for causing him pain. Cassius stayed close, a quiet presence as we watched Frederick being carried down the hallway.“You did the right thing,” Cassius said softly, as if sensing my turmoil. But something felt off. The pain of betrayal cut deep, a raw ache I had never experienced before. The treachery felt like a knife twisting inside me.“I wish it didn’t hurt so much,” I whispered, trying to shove the painful memory aside. Suddenly, Nereus burst back up the stairs, blocking our path.“Hey, Anastasia, you might want to come downstairs,” Nereus said, his voice tinged with unease. I shot a look at Cassius, w
Stolen Luna By The Rival Alpha Chapter 301: Feeling Much Better
Eventually, footsteps roused me from my restless sleep, guiding me to the other side of the bedroom door. When Frederick walked in, I let out a sigh of relief. The deep concern I felt for him was overwhelming, and I could barely stand it."I swung by Diego's office first, but you weren’t there," Frederick said casually, loosening his tie. I closed my eyes, trying to ignore the nagging thought of that ring sitting untouched in the desk drawer."I'm feeling much better," I said, forcing a smile. If he’d been paying attention, he’d have seen through the lie."I noticed that," he remarked, unbuttoning his shirt with a relaxed air. I shifted restlessly on the bed, trying to play it cool and hoping he wouldn’t catch on."Where have you been?" Frederick chuckled as if it was the most ridiculous question. "I got a bit concerned when you weren’t around when I woke up.""I left Rollo to take care of you," I said, watching as he turned away. He placed his rings on the desk and reached for two ne
Stolen Luna By The Rival Alpha Chapter 300: Wolfsbane
I tread carefully, trying to avoid rushing and risk encountering more trouble at the cellar stairs. The silence around me was eerie, and I kept my eyes sharp, scanning for any sign of danger. My mind flitted to the idea of calling my dad, but I hesitated. I didn’t want him dragged into this mess, fearing he might try to drag me back home. Maybe it was pride, or maybe it was the fear of his interference.Then there was Estelle. I thought about her growing up, reaching her prime, and hoped she’d never have to rely on her body like I had. It was comforting, though, to see her following in her father’s footsteps in her own way, even if it wasn’t ideal."Anastasia?" I heard Nereus’s faint voice. I picked up the pace, jogging towards the sound. As I rounded the corner, I saw the boys restrained in separate corners, but Nereus was the only one awake."Nereus?" I knelt beside him and quickly worked on untying the ropes burning his wrists. They smelled strongly of wolfsbane. "What did those pe
