The Alpha's Battered Luna Twenty Seven
Rick’s POV I could not believe that I had let myself go like that! Forget the fact that a lot of the members of the pack were killed or fatally injured, my pride had been wounded by all that had happened. In a fit of pleasure, I had left the borders unguarded and let my personal guard down, because of the entertainment I derived from punishing that brat slave girl known as Maya. That slave girl was useless, she could not even shift into wolf form, and she never did her duties properly. Each slaves were given their regular, and very much deserved dose of punishment once in a short while, for them to remember their places and who it was they belonged to. And every slave ended up submissive and reduced to nothing but a crying worshipping mess every time. Every puny slave except Maya. Yes, she did cry and mumble out words due to pain, but somehow she did that with her head held high. It was as if her body was battered and bruised, but her spirit was still holding up strong like she was

Asher's pov Work had gotten really hectic and exhausting that I always returned home tired and spent. I didn't really have the time to perform my duties as the Alpha when Maya and Edna got kidnapped, it was all suspended while we planned how to attack and save them until we had them back and now the work was gobbling up my energy along with my time. Maya and I didn't see much of each other anymore these days due to how busy I had gotten with work and duties to fulfill. In the morning she would still be asleep before I go to work so I wouldn't be able to wake her up and when I returned at night from work, she was asleep already, tired from the day's training with Daniel as Edna told me when I asked. These continued for days and I was beginning to think she was ignoring me. I once stayed late before goito work, hoping she would be awake before I left but she was still asleep so I gave up on waiting and went ahead to complete the work I left overnight at the office. I was a mess, Maya

Maya's pov Walking down the hallways that lead to the training ground gives me a sense of deja vu because literally the scene of me changing fur was and the stares I got from the pack members were living rent-free in my head. Daniel held my hand and tightened his grip on my hand. His jaw was clenched and his whole body was tense. Right now he wasn't the Daniel I'm used to. Right now he was Daniel Smoke, the Beta of the pack and he showed effortless and tremendous powers as such. It's the second week since I double shifted fur to continue my training and discover more about myself without getting a mental breakdown. Daniel had, on his own, agreed to be my tutor, and ever since he made that decision, he has been at his best through and through. "Wh—what?" I breathed out. I needed a moment, I never thought I'd constantly have to brace myself for whatever was to come but here we are. Thank you for the extra morale boost, Asher! "I know I said it was going to be just you and me for

Asher’s POV I had watched Daniel and Maya train together. Although I was proud of the progress she was making, as she learned more quickly than I expected her to. In spite of the injuries she still had that were healing, she moved quickly as Daniel tried to land a hit, but then as she went narrowing towards him with full force she could only just move Daniel slightly, before the fell on the ground with an ‘oomph!’. “What exactly are you made of, young man?” She asked Daniel as he bent to help her up. “Pounds and pounds of pure muscle and protein, my lady.” He said, laughing as he helped her up. Maya had a small frown on her face. “Show off. I bet you stood there waiting for me to hit you on purpose. Didn’t you?” Maya asked him and I just stood, watching their exchange. Daniel responded to her question with a laugh. I walked towards them without knowing what I was doing until I got to the front of them. “I would like to train with Maya, please step aside, Daniel.” I said, not un

Maya's pov It had already been exactly three days since my rough patch with Asher, since we gave each other space and barely even talked or looked long enough at each other. It hurt me too, but he had to give me space because I needed it. I wasn't a log of wood, I had feelings too and I was deeply hurt by what he did to me the morning after our first time having sex. It was really hurtful and it felt degrading to me; waking up to an empty cold bed alone without your lover after your first time together! Thinking about it made me even more angry, I didn't feel an ounce of guilt after asking him to give me space. He knew he messed up, I was also glad his conscience wouldn't let him be when he realized the gravity of what he did. I went through thick, and hell in the hands of Jason when I was still stuck at the blood moon pack before I escaped and everything he did to me and made me do was really traumatizing. I still have nightmares about them once in a while… especially since I star
The Alpha's Battered Luna Thirty Two
Maya's pov I can't explain what happened to me yesterday. I felt like a completely different person and even though I liked this new, somewhat me, it was exhausting at the same time. Because the fire that was still licking inside of me, consumes me to an extent, and I'm afraid to see what damage will be done when it burns down. The truth was, I felt stronger, Edna's words are etched in my brain and Asher definitely had an effect on me that made me feel seen, appreciated, and wanted. But anxiety, depression, and especially insecurity are not something you get over within a day. It's a process that takes time when properly tackled and takes longer or forever when tackled recklessly. A slow and painful process but one worth making especially with the right people beside you and I feel like I'm finally getting there. "Hey" Asher's sleepy voice vibrated against my neck as he stirred behind me, he threw his arm over my waist with my back pressed against his chest. He picked up his phon

Edna’s POV I was very happy when my brother, Asher, came knocking to ask for my help in making something nice for his mate, and currently, my friend Maya. The look on his face was enough to make me laugh, he looked worried, so worried that one would have thought that he had dropped a baby by accident, or something worse. “Um, Edna?” He had said when I opened the door for him. “Um, yeah?” I said, confused as to why he would be at my door so early in the morning. “I need your help with something very, very important.” He said, with worry in his eyes and I got worried instantly too. “What happened? What is it, Asher? Please tell me quickly, I can help you solve it. Did you run over someone? Or did you kill a—” I asked but he cut me in, shaking his head and widening his eyes even more, leaving me with the notion that whatever it is he had done had been even worse than killing someone. “I have destroyed the kitchen and I have had no success whatsoever in making the surprise breakfa

Maya's pov I was disturbed when Asher woke up really early and kissed me good morning on my forehead before leaving the room. The sun wasn't even out yet, the room was still a bit dim and the Asher I had grown used to loved his morning sleep. He hated it when the sun rays had made their way into his room and reflected on his face while he was sleeping. He would be grumpy throughout that morning because the sun interrupted his sleep. So to have him wide awake and bubbly with energy this early morning was quite disturbing and weird because I didn't wake him up, he woke up himself! I didn't fret though, I just smiled at him and gave him a kiss on the cheek too before he left the room to do whatever God knows what while I went back to sleep. The past few days with him had been beautiful, fun and quite different from the first times we had. This time, it was better. Asher gave me more attention, said cheesy and sweet words that made me cringe and laugh sometimes. He randomly hugged or k

Edna's povI stared at the hundredth flower that Daniel had given me out of all the flowers he had been giving me for the past two weeks ever since we found out we were mates.It was weird and shocking at first. To find out that your close friend is your mate and I felt like it would be a betrayal to Killian wherever he was now, moving on from him after just a year. I didn't know what to do, I didn't want to reject Daniel because it would anger the goddess and I didn't know if I would ever have feelings for him because we'd been friends for a long time until a few days ago.I was in the kitchen alone making a late night snack after helping Maya put the babies to sleep when he came in. He was shirtless and had half sleepy eyes. I had never looked at Daniel that way but I couldn't help but feel my heart beat faster and my mouth ran dry at the sight of him looking like that.I was also avoiding him ever since the blood moon festival after finding out he was my new mate. Guess the plan wo

Maya's povI suddenly started feeling like I swallowed an elephant because damn, it was barely ten hours ago I finished my wedding and I didn't half of how heavy I suddenly felt. My weight doubled five times over.Dang!Asher had been busy with calls—answering to people that were still congratulating us and returning the calls to those he missed. I love being married to him. Even though one might think that has not changed after saying ' I do' and since I've practically lived as his wife for over a year now. But trust me, saying those two syllables 'I & do' would very much measure up to the best words I've said in all of my life. It feels so good to call him my husband and hear him call me his wife without having to cringe. Most of all, I am super happy because I finally got to carry his last name and just as you all already know, I'm growing his baby inside of me."Goddammit" I muttered to myself for the umpteenth time this evening after our wedding. "Uhhh" I groaned in frustration a

Edna's POVMaya and Asher's wedding had ended early today and no party or reception was held because Maya needed to rest. I was surprised at how she still managed to pull everything off, despite the fact that she was far gone in her pregnancy. The penetrating and hideous howls echoed through the woods for the rest of the evening. I stayed indoors as the blood moon appeared in the pitch-black sky. The woods were close to the windows in my apartment. I kept pretending not to notice the wolves nearby and the night overall. It has been a long and stressful day. I couldn't add more stress by paying any attention to the reason for the day. Plus, it wasn't like I'd be getting another one soon. It's been a little over one year since Killian died and I was so sure the goddess hadn't made plans for me yet. I was so sure that the goddess was not yet ready for me but my wolf was trying to prove otherwise—she was craving the touch of our mate.I stood by my window and just stared into space, my

Maya's povWhy on earth am I so nervous? I've been ready to marry this man since the day he rescued me from Alpha Rick's claws, but standing here right now, in my wedding dress in my bedroom, I felt like I couldn't breathe. The blood moon festival did not happen all through last year because according to the priest, the goddess was angry. But I was so sure about what I had with Asher and that was why I didn't give a second thought when he asked her to be his wife.Although I had suggested a much later date for the wedding, until I put to birth for the very least, the priest had insisted on this particular date for the wedding. "You've got this Maya," Edna said for the umpteenth time today, rubbing her hand on my arms as she continued" you are so beautiful. I can't even take my eyes off you""Edna, is it okay to feel like this.., what if..""Of course, …The tension, apprehension, and anxiousness always turn out to be a waste of time. So get yourself together and go nail it. It's

Alpha Rick's povI couldn't believe my eyes. Was it actually Maya I was seeing? Or was it just the effect of the few glasses of red wine I just had that was making me hallucinate? I looked around and no one was there so I looked forward again and Maya was there vividly clear this time and I was shocked down to my bones.Maya was a white wolf! It was impossible! I killed them all twenty years ago, it couldn't be… how did she survive and keep her identity as a white wolf a secret all these years? How did she live in silence all these years knowing the powers she possessed and the things she could do?I stared at her speechless as I was still in my state of shock. I was still finding it hard to find my words and question her to quench the fire of curiosity that was blazing in my head as she slowly came towards me with a smile playing on her face. I didn't really notice the smile though, it was the rage in her eyes that managed to plant fear in me, but I soon killed the fear and faced her

Maya's povEdna kept on squeezing the note that was sent by Melissa along with Killian's body as she stared blankly at nothing in particular while we decided to give Killian a burial to honor him for her sake. One moment, she was sniffing the paper with hatred and sorrow in her eyes, then the next, she was zoning out and staring at an empty space. When Daniel found the body and brought it home, he showed us the note without an idea of who sent the body, Edna snatched it and perceived it to catch the scent of who sent it… it was Melissa, she knew immediately because she could recognize her scent after our encounter with her when we were kidnapped. She had been a mess ever since she watched Melissa kill Killian in her front. She wasn't the cheerful Edna I knew anymore, she didn't eat or talk to anyone, she just slept and cried all the time. I and Shalom tried to give her our support and our love, hoping to make her feel better but it wasn't working.Then when Daniel found Killian's bod

Asher’s POVTommy and I were having a conversation about different random things. At first, I had thought that Tommy had called me to talk about what had happened as usual, and what had to be done. I mean, we knew what had to be done, but that seemed like the only thing that we ever talked about that had made any sense ever since.Speaking of senses, mine were over and all over the place and at the moment, all I wanted was just one thing. I mean, yeah, I wanted justice. I wanted to make things right, although it would not be that much of a right since we had lost members, good were wolves to Alpha Rick’s hands and all of that definitely had to be avenged sooner rather than later,but now, I wanted my mate. I wanted her by my side as I discussed with whomever that was interested in doing so, and as I pondered over the decisions that weighed heavily on my shoulders. I wanted MayaI wanted her touch, her smell, her presence. I felt like I was about to go mad, and now I was beginning to

Melissa's Pov.No no no no no no"This can't be happening. I didn't right…I didn't right?" I mumbled to myself, as I played back the event of seven minutes ago in my head. "I did not just kill Killian. It wasn't me…I didn't do it, right?"My head arched badly and it felt like with every syllable of the word I lamented, my heart was ripped out of its cage over and over again. It was never my intention to kill Killian. Fuck, I never wanted him dead. I was caught up with rage as I heard him say all those things to Edna. I didn't know what to do. I was feeling frustrated with every spark that traveled through the screen as they watched themselves even from miles apart. It was palpable…so palpable it made the atmosphere of the cell rise and burn my self-control.I looked haggard. My hair was everywhere and my mascara was running along with my nose but I didn't care. I couldn't….How could I have cared when I just killed the one man I've ever loved. I attacked my hair with my fingers and s

Maya's povI felt cold all over as I stood frozen, I couldn't get myself to react or utter a word after hearing Alpha Rick's demand. Complete fear took over me and I didn't know if I wanted to go back to that pack. I was still struggling to heal from the experiences I had when I stayed there and now alpha Rick wanted me back there, to go through all his torture! I didn't know if I wanted that for myself and at the same time, I was thinking about Killian.I remembered all I'd been through in alpha Rick's hands when he tortured me and I knew Killian would go through worse, I didn't want that for him. He was one of us and I knew if I were in his shoes, he'd try to save me too. I slowly sat down, still clueless on what to say to everyone as they sat with shock and anger and worry all over their faces."Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Asher yelled as he punched the wall. His veins stood out on his neck and I was scared of what he could probably do in that state of anger. Edna was still crying an
