MIKAEL'S POV

☾☾☾

I fold my arms behind my head as I readjust into a prone position on the fur rug, a smirk playing on the corners of my lips. “You are warmer?”

“Yes.” She clicks her tongue, then shuffles in the same spot.

“Did you like my presents?” I tilt to consider her without the shadows cast on her by the darkness unfurled behind the brilliance of the fiery niche. The light sets her features aglow, but only from a precise angle.

Her hand finds her throat, and I avert my gaze from the expanse of exposed silky skin. “I liked them. Though, I must admit that they were a lot. I don’t know what or when I’m going to use that many pieces of jewellery.” She shakes her head as if still finding the phenomenon unbelievable.

“You will receive even more in the future.” I enjoy how shock drops her jaw for a beat before continuing. “Do not worry about when to wear them. There will be enough occasions in the future. As Luna, you will have many events to attend. It’d serve you well to star

    I'm neither relaxed nor in good humour, but I pretend so as I call the cub en route to my office. He trots behind me, as mum as a sealed mouth entails. Anger dissipates from the lividness I have bottled up despite my honest efforts. Phoenix's news of a failed settlement has soured my cast. The youngling at my heels knows me well enough to detect my foul mood and keeps a reasonable distance. "Has the body been taken care of?" I glance at Redor's lowered head as he hastens forth. He reports in a mellow tone that does not rouse me more than the current. "It has, Alpha. As instructed, it has been embalmed. All that remains is for the transfer." "Await my command for the next step." "Aye, Alpha." He begins to slink away but straightens, refilling his spot at realising I've not finished speaking. Snow crunches beneath my feet, adhering to the sole of my heavy slides. I revive the memory of carrying her across the field to our wedding. She'd been on the verge of lamenting at the sea of

    ☽☽☽MIKAEL'S POV☾☾☾ Makwa must wipe out the nasty lots of the packs. The elders. Vile, wicked vipers they are, pretending, hiding in the shells of tortoises as if harmless. Fortunately, their time has come to be discarded. They've lived long enough, had an eternity to hold on to the rigid customs that eat up the cloth of unity in the packs. More importantly, I have no use for idiots who will only take a stab at each turn of my back. There's much that lies ahead. I have little desire to hamper my progress by keeping track of their moves, sharing my focus between the vital future and a less consequential pastime or bothering about ploys being plotted under my nose in my jurisdictions. Not if I have a say of it. I harrumph as the pen glides smoothly over the foolscap paper: a note of the destruction that will be visited on the packs. Makwa will hear of his new mission when he's back from his rounds with Margaret about the new Northwestern territories. Tomorrow, if all goes well, he'l

    ☽☽☽MIKAEL'S POV☾☾☾ "Supernatural creatures are forms of magic. The first werewolves, as you know, were fashioned from the moon goddess's magic. It continues to run down in generations born, and is why you all shift. As for newly turned wolves, she blesses them herself." "I am aware. Go on." I egg her on when she takes a pause, a pensive look on her face. "For the most powerful of creatures, weres or other, excess magic leaks out of them, and since they have nowhere to go, they infiltrate my spheres, wells from which I draw my stored powers. Negative emotions lead to dark repercussions, blackening the spheres, throwing me off balance and discomposing my control." "Do all witches use these spheres you have mentioned?" "Ony those powerful or with magic that poses themselves or others serious danger. And even then, it's different for everyone." 'Which category do you fall under?" I press, an inquisitiveness taking the wheel in my probing. She looks away, her lips curling inward. H

    ☽☽☽MIKAEL'S POV☾☾☾ "It's nice to see you too, Micky." She draws near, and the impulse to rise, springing up to a stand—so I tower over her—spears through me like a lanced harpoon. "Desist from calling me by that ridiculous epithet. And do not toss aside my question. Why are you here?" She tsks, unmoved by my sore temper or the threat of my exposed canines. "You always did hate that moniker. Not sure why. It suits you quite nicely, brother." Her fair hair shimmers in the muted lights of the room, a contrast to her dark gown and cloak. The slick strands are as I remember them, pale, nearly ashen, and to keep with the tradition she'd grown with, twisted in the most intricate of updos. It was mere centuries ago she was a little thing sobbing inconsolably that she was not permitted to wear her hair down, to let it be wild and free. Now, she keeps it bound of her own accord. The irony. But then again, it is no call for surprise. She's done much I once would not have believed to be in

    ☽☽☽MIKAEL'S POV☾☾☾ Maeve's bow is of complete mockery. Her chin wobbles as she struggles not to chortle. I contemplate if Saskia detects that she greets her in jest until I catch the contemplative countenance on the Luna's face convert into the portrait of indifference. I'd underestimated her emotional intelligence once again. "I am no lady." "Forgive my blunder. Tell me, what are you, human?" "My name is Saskia, Luna of Guttenbrieg. I demand I be referred to by my proper title in the future." Saskia gives her a sickly sweet smile that earns a frown in repose. "Now, who are you?" "Pardon me, Luna." She grins so wickedly that I want to block her gaze of my wife, but I know that the Luna can handle herself. I should give her a chance too, for I will not always be readily available to shield her. Not omitting the times of trouble I've been at her side, the tide has not changed its course at my wish. My presence has made matters worse in enough instances. It's the reason for the s

    ☽☽☽MIKAEL'S POV☾☾☾ "You knew him then, but you don't now. And don't worry about him hurting me. I will decide for myself who to trust and who not to. Just so you are aware, you currently fall in the latter category. I do not know you, Maeve. And I'd appreciate it if you stopped treating me like I'm stupid. It's clear that I'm not the one who doesn't have a clue how things work." It is apparent when she snaps. Her vial of anger cracks and then explodes in smithereens. The damper she placed on her strength flies off in one blast, and the bestial power she ordinarily conceals flares as her orbs transform into gold. "Back away—" My warning comes too late as a taloned hand captures its prey. My claws are drawn out instantly, but my wife, brave as she invariably is, needs not my help. Against Maeve's throat is a knife riveted to a pulsing artery. The grasp that was previously a shackle on a wrist falls off unceremoniously. Saskia scoffs as the fine blade vows to sink into flesh more m

    ☽☽☽MIKAEL'S POV☾☾☾ There is warring within me, but I hold back. It is not my call to interfere. Saskia can choose for herself how to collect her debt or whether she forgives the debtor of it without my influence. "What you decide will be done." "Thank you," her gratitude shines forth through the haze of my murky world, and her warmth spreads through me, a billowing mass of radiance dispelling dismalness. "You know, your sister, Maeve... she is quite something." She comments as we commence a walk that leads nowhere. "I could not disagree if I wished to. Maeve and I...we have a tumultuous history, a turbulent past, that I have not forgiven her of." She fixes her bun as it's become lopsided before admitting: "it was obvious that you had a lot against her." "Is that why you backed me up?" "I mean, it's common sense, isn't it? How can I side with a stranger over my husband? I literally have never glimpsed her in my entire life until today, stunning as she is." "She has no home in N

    ☾☾☾ SASKIA'S POV ☽☽☽ When Mikael said Kaleb was in the stocks, I did not think it would be an actual torture device complete with clasps and fasteners to lock limbs beneath heavy posts. Yet, that isn't what drops my jaw. The cause of my appalled awe is the fact that every object the seething werewolf is connected to has been fashioned from silver. "Woah." I breathe out the last vestiges of the cold as Mikael swiftly closes the latch behind us. The icy gust screams at the barred door, incensed at not getting a chance to breeze in, and I sigh in relief because I don't think I have it in me to shiver one more time. It's warmer inside. Honestly, if the conditions of this barren place were better and the lodging itself was dedicated to a different cause, I may have contemplated making it my bedroom for at least one night. Sleeping in my room is a pain, as it becomes Arctic cold at night, and the fire built in the hearth often dies off too early. The frost in my bones becomes unbearabl

    Hello, lovelies!Thank you for reading to the end of The Luna’s Possessive Alpha. This is Book 1 of the TLPA Series. Book 2 is titled The Luna’s Broken Alpha, and will be made available on Goodnovel in the next few days. I sincerely appreciate all your support for Book 1, and I hope to see you all in Book 2!*Please read the blurb for The Luna’s Broken Alpha below:“To establish a balance in the supernatural realm, the two most powerful packs in North America formed a political alliance. This was achieved through the union of Princess Saskia and Alpha Mikael. However, the infection among the werewolf packs has only grown stronger since the ascension of the new Alpha. The supernatural world is currently on the brink of falling apart. War is closer than ever as corrupted werewolves escape the grasps of their vampire lords; chaos is bound to ensue.*Saskia accepted her fate in her new pack and was willing to do all that was needed of her as Luna until she had her title stripped away by

    ☾☾☾ SASKIA'S POV ☽☽☽ "You know that's not how things work, Saskia." Wade's reply snags my focus, and I change my train of thought. "Once I pledge my loyalty to an Alpha, I become bound to him as one of his pack. The fact that I did already means that I was accepted. The only creature allowed to admit me into Guttenbrieg is its Alpha." I squeeze my eyes shut as a tremble shakes me to my core. It's difficult to process what Wade's made plain. I don't want to try because it's fatuous to do so. It would be pure idiocy to believe that Mikael's dead. It honestly can't be. I would know. As the woman who married him, who's mated with him, and most of all, as one who has come to love him artlessly, I would have known. I, of all people, should have felt him slipping away from this world. The planet should have felt off-center, tilted off-axis when he took his last breath. How could I not have known? What was I doing when—according to their hypotheses—he died? How could I have carried on w

    ☾☾☾ SASKIA'S POV ☽☽☽ Kaleb Sacramone makes no sense. No sense at all. Mikael's not dead. The man I talked to mere hours ago was everything but dead. Guttenbrieg's Lieutenant General often sucked at making coherent sense, but this is simply ridiculous. How dare he fake Mikael's death only to get under my skin? I might have slapped him if I didn't think he was insane. The werewolf needs a psychiatric intervention coupled with enough mental evaluations. His days in the dungeon must have turned him unhinged, a deranged creature. I make a mental reminder to request an appointment for him immediately after this is over. "Who is dead?" I parrot, pausing for him to assert that this is all a joke and rescind those hideous words. "Mikael isn't dead." Kaleb laughs in my face. Outright does so. I contemplate pulling out my daggers and holding them to his neck, drawing blood for his insolence. I fist my hands to keep from heeding any rash decisions. "Do you have hearing problems, Saskia?

    ☾☾☾ SASKIA'S POV ☽☽☽ You're such a fool, Saskia. The berating arrives only after the fibres of my undies have suffered the deluge of an Olympic-sized pool. It's embarrassing. My body still throbs for Mikael even after learning about his misdeeds. Even directly beside the man who's made himself vulnerable by disclosing a secret he's kept for years to me about his emotions, I'm thirsting for and craving the attention of a man who's bent on using me without a care for how much I'll hurt as a result of his evil deceitfulness. It's so ludicrous. I missed him before I knew what he'd done. And now that I know the crimes he's committed, I miss him maybe even more. Frankly, I just want him to come home so we can have an earnest discussion. I want to hear the truth from the horse's mouth. If I could help it, I'd pick up my phone and call him to hurry up and head back to the pack. I won't, of course. First, I have no inkling of my phone's whereabouts. Second, I wouldn't dream of hindering

    ☾☾☾ SASKIA'S POV ☽☽☽ "Ignore what I said." "Okay." I can't. I swallow hard, glueing my sight to the road. Wade loves me? Perhaps he means as a friend. But we were talking about Mikael as a baseline. The Alpha wouldn't love me as a friend as I'm his wife. Moreover, that wouldn't be a kind of love worth being broached in chatter by another wolf. Things genuinely just got incredibly weirder. And awkwarder. My head feels like there's been a crater blasted into it. The indented hollowness is the equivalent of a cavity, and I find myself scrambling to fill my head with reflections other than that which refuses to dissipate: Wade loves me. I love him too, I realise. I love him as one who's been by my side for ages, one whom I've relied on in the thickest of battles, one who's never shied away from being a firm shoulder I could cry on. I love him for being an incredible person, but I have never dwelt on what kind of love it is. It's always been common sense that we care for each other l

    ☾☾☾ SASKIA'S POV ☽☽☽ Wade's hand is fisted by his side when I return to scrutinising him. "I w-wish I realised...earlier that this was how... you'd been feeling. I was too occupied...and engaged by my self-imposed job of being...the happy-go-lucky guy. I never noticed...that you were burdened...by how we all treated you. I'm sorry, Saskia." He lingers between his words, trying to catch his breath and possibly summon the strength to speak. My heart clenches in my chest. I wish I could take away his pain and make it nonexistent. He doesn't deserve what Absalon did to him. I guess the thought that's been keeping me restless is the odds that his injuries aren't from Absalon's antics, as he claims, but from the destruction I caused with my powers. I can't yet envision forgiving myself for what I've done so far; if I was the one who truly hurt Wade, I know I'd truly never be able to grant myself forgiveness. It wouldn't matter how many years might pass; I'd continue to hate myself for

    ☾☾☾ SASKIA'S POV ☽☽☽ Wade is a damned liar. I should have known better than to trust him to tell me the truth about how he felt. Even more annoying is that he clearly fooled me with his charms. While I often harped on the fact that werewolves could make themselves more attractive to others through their supernatural magnetism, I'd forgotten the fact that, in specific, they could conceal defects about themselves. In my state of despair, I'd become easily subject to his prowess. He'd gotten the chance to disguise the true extent of his injuries. If I say I'm not entirely beyond pissed off, then I'd be telling a lie—something those I cherish as friends and family seem adept at doing when I'm involved. "You don't need to do this." Wade coughs, a shadow of himself, having drained up to half the quota of blood in his body. I eye him in irritation. Is there any time he doesn't annoy me like it's a hobby of his? "I'll do what I want, Wade. Kindly shut the fuck up while I do." I want to

    ☽☽☽MIKAEL'S POV☾☾☾ "What the...fucking...hell was that?" I scramble to rise, but my efforts are thwarted by a force field smashing my length to the ground. It all clicks in at once: magic. The weight on my spine, crushing my neck and torso to the ground, is of a mammoth's mass in thousands of tonnes. I snarl as the invisible load intensifies at my joints, breaking my bones. Whatever witch is responsible must be incredibly skillful. It's a hellish experience that might have had a more inexperienced version of myself centuries ago whimpering in pain. I've long learnt to endure worse. Warning bells wail in my head. It's evident Cillian and Whelan planned this from the genesis of our interaction. I'd been too blinded by my fury to see through their plan. Cillian hammers on this point with his utterance, "you were an idiot not to suspect the cause of our visit, Mikael." My hateful gaze pans upward, but it does not land on Cillian. Instead, Absalon's distasteful countenance is caught

    ☽☽☽MIKAEL'S POV☾☾☾ A scowl overtakes my cast as I set eyes on the fair-headed man bent over a walking stick, not from age but for a ruse. "Missed the train home, Whelan?" The bitterness yet stored within seeps into my tone. "Whelan?" The old, heavy voice rumbles like a clap of thunder rolling down the beak of a mountain. Long ago, in a distant land bound by time, I'd been a lad afraid of its owner. "I imagined I was once Seanathair to you, Mikael. Ain't it so, Cillian?" Cillian pulls further out from the woods—left untouched and spared from Saskia's dismantling—at the query. I do not give the coward a chance to voice his opinion. "You mean nothing to me. I don't remember a grandfather. Nay, I recall a sadistic fiend who gloated in sacrificing others for his evil causes—his family included." As patronising as the word might ever entail, Whelan corrects, "Family means naught without loyalty. I attack not those under my wings. You must've understood that by now, Alpha of Guttenbrie
