Alexa

“Nonsense! What treatment?” I groaned. My forehead creased after hearing the lawyer’s absurd statement.

“She claimed she went back and forth to hospitals abroad because of bone and joint pain,” said Mr. Pascoe.

“Plastic surgery, you mean? That woman wasn’t sick at all. How could you let her use up all the money?” I asked the man in a sharp tone.

“I’m sorry, Alexa. She was your guardian, while you weren’t ready to take over your family’s wealth. According to our law, she had the right to hold that bank account for your needs and the heir’s needs.” Mr. Pascoe shook his head.

“My needs? For Goddess’ sake! She sold me, Mr. Pascoe!”

My breath came in ragged gasps. I felt like I was about to explode with frustration at the corrupt law so highly praised by the elders. A ridiculous law that made me a victim of Lady Gertrude’s greed.

“She sold me to cover her debts so I wouldn’t meet you and claim my father’s inheritance. She had no right to a single cent of that money.” My body trembled

  • The Supreme Luna   51: Blood Pact

    Alexa“Tomorrow?” My forehead furrowed. “Yes, tomorrow. Is there a problem?” he asked with a low growl. I considered the things that could happen by tomorrow. Even though Mythril seemed quite enthusiastic about the idea. “Aren’t you rushing things? I haven’t even had the chance to sleep in this room again,” I said as my hand opened the three-door white wardrobe. The wardrobe was now filled with clothes I had never seen or worn before. They were smaller than my size, so I assumed they all actually belonged to Lorraine. Expensive dresses, thick warm sweaters, and bags in various colors seemed like props meant only to please the Alpha. There was nothing I could wear. “For what? Besides, if we get married, you won’t be staying here anymore,” Gabriel shrugged. “What about Harlow? And Jack?” I asked as I closed the wardrobe door.I examined my horrible appearance in the mirror. My hair tangled, dark spot of dirt, and oily face looked back at me with a scrunch on my nose. ‘Oh, my Godd

  • The Supreme Luna   52: New Home

    AlexaAfter waiting for some time, I stood by my bedroom window. From the second floor, I could see the street in front of my house. Someone was walking past with four guards surrounding them. Harlow paused for a moment and looked up at me.I turned around and hid behind the curtain. My heart pounded as my teeth bit into my lower lip. The thunderous beats in my chest felt suffocating, with irregular thuds against my ribs.I turned my head toward the glass in my room. The blood pact circle, drawn with my blood, was etched there. It was a reminder for me I had to break all other mate bonds.“Goodbye, Harlow,” I whispered.***The next morning, I wore a sleeveless pink midi dress with a knee-length skirt. The dress was tight, with a slit up to my thigh, revealing my figure, which was now vastly different from two years ago. It was a new dress I bought this morning last night.My hair was styled in a high bun, exposing my slender neck—now strong enough to withstand the choking hands of th

  • The Supreme Luna   53: Scent of You

    AlexaOur lips were still locked together, enveloped by the pouring rain. The cold air seeped into our exposed skin, making me tighten my embrace around his neck. As if desperate, my lips and his searched for each other.Harlow’s hands wrapped around my waist. But as passion surged even more toward my core, my breath became ragged and uneven. Yet I couldn’t resist what Harlow was feeling, either. I felt his hard bulge pressing against my lower belly.“This is wrong,” he said between heavy breaths. His breath brushed against my lips while our foreheads met.“But I love you,” I whispered amid the clash of our breaths.“There are many guests inside the packhouse,” he warned.“But I miss you,” I whined, tightening my hug around him.Those words were enough to tempt Harlow. He surrendered to the same uncontrollable desire and longing. I didn’t care if Gabriel caught

  • The Supreme Luna   54: Luna Trial

    AlexaI stood on the training field. It had been a long time since I last stood on this grass field. The last time I trained, I ended up battered and bruised, desperately struggling to use my magic to defend myself against Lorraine’s cruelty.For two years, I trained in the battle ring at Southern Star. I had grown so accustomed to the many pairs of eyes watching the strength matches between me and my opponents.This time was no different. The pack elders sat watching from the sidelines. Among them, Alpha Gabriel stood in the middle of the row with his arms crossed over his chest. His sharp eyes were fixed on me, and despite his threats, I glanced at Harlow at the far end of the field.‘Are you really going to show your true strength?’ Harlow asked through our mind-link.‘Yes. It’s time,’ I answered.I walked to the center of the field, following Beta Drake’s lead. He was the referee for this match. As I stepped in, I heard a few mocking giggles. Some elders, including Lady Gertrude,

    AlexaShe lunged at me with a sharp dagger swinging in her hand. I moved back into defensive mode. My body dodged several times to avoid the dagger’s swings. At one point, I blocked her arm that threatened me with the dagger, causing its tip to graze my cheek. A slight wound did not deter me from defeating her.With trained primal instincts, I searched for an opportunity as she thrust the dagger toward me. My body spun to the side, and I used all my strength to pull her arm. My hands snapped, twisting her wrist until the dagger fell beside my feet.I used her arm as leverage to jump. In a split second, my legs locked around her neck, bringing her crashing down to the ground.With my knee pinning her back, I threw some relentless punches at the side of her face. It was as if all my years of pent-up resentment would dissolve with each strike. Even though Lorraine’s face was bruised and reddened, I did not stop.A wolf dashed toward me. Its jaws gaped open, ready to maul me with its shar

    Alexa“No, Alexa. I know you’ll forget me as soon as you get married. This is all just temporary.” Harlow shook his head.My eyelids dilated, and my breathing was ragged, with panic engulfing me. Both my hands cupped his cheeks. “No,” I said as I stroked his temples.“No, I won’t forget you. I love you,” I urgently repeated my feelings for him. “I don’t want to lose you.”“Alexa,” Harlow looked at me with the corners of his eyes dropping. He stroked my temple gently. “I don’t want to lose you either, but you can’t do this to Alpha Gabriel. You’re already bound by the blood pact.”“No, no, Harlow. Look, I promised him I’d marry him and become his Luna. But I didn’t promise I would love him,” I reassured him.“How could you do that to your husband? What would people say if they saw us together?” The back of his hand rubbed my cheek with sadness reflected in his frowned brows.“I know it’s wrong, but I can’t go on without you. Ever since you left me in the Southern Star, I’ve felt longin

  • The Supreme Luna   57: Jealousy is a Sin

    GabrielEveryone, including the elders of the pack, agreed with Alexa this time. It turned out that the girl could control her wolf power over the past two years. That meant if she married me and became Luna, we could use our combined strength to explore a wider territory.Including those rogues. They would submit to me from now on. Damn it! I hated those insolent scums. From now on, I no longer needed to hold back because Alexa could defeat them all in an instant.There was a slight sting to my pride because she was the monster who defeated me when I fought Alpha Romero. That fact made me consider the possibility that Alexa had a special relationship with him. My elbow rested on the table, and my hand clenched over the other.Alexa was surrounded by many men. How could a woman so easily defeat me? How could she arrogantly toy with so many men?Especially that damn Omega. Annoyed by Alexa’s game, I rose from my desk in my room with a

    GabrielAlexa reignited my anger as my face heated. I growled a threat at her. “Watch your words, Alexa. Lorraine is an honorable woman. She is your sister who bears the same family name as you.”“A stepsister with no blood relation at all.” The girl still looked at me with eyes full of challenge.She wasn’t afraid of me at all. Even though my hand was gripping her neck, even though I was releasing my dominant aura, I still couldn’t subdue Alexa. I gritted my teeth, frustrated by my failure as an alpha.“She elevated her own status. She holds an important position as an assistant in the Alpha and Luna’s secretarial bureau of the pack,” I defended her.“Ah, so that’s why she can keep tailing you and spying on me? So she can always be by your side without being scorned by others?” Alexa asked with a smirk.I tightened my grip on her neck again. “Watch your w

    AlexaHarlow’s eyes burned every inch of my skin. It was crazy because I should be wet with cold. Contrary to outward appearances, I was instead agitated by the heat that ignited the fire inside me.His hand grabbed my hand that was covering my chest. He pulled me with a gentle tug close to his body. Like invisible magic, I obeyed with small steps until I was now in his arms.“Is this real?” he asked as his thumb brushed my cheek.The scent of his body enveloped the surrounding air. Mint and pine, a scent I’d never forget. Mythril had now turned into a fiery energy that coursed through my veins with great anticipation.“What’s real?” I asked as I raised my head to him.“You. Us. Here, together with no barriers anymore. Free. It’s too good to be true.” Harlow frowned.There was a gleam of fear in his dark eyes. The sudden heavy rain in spring made me worry too. It was as if we could be separated again at any time. Somehow, I felt that there was something dark still stalking us. But I c

  • The Supreme Luna   83: Spring Rain

    AlexaIt took two days for Lorraine and Mrs. Gertrude to move. They left the Dawson family home and returned to the Oswald family home on the outskirts of the village. To avoid unwanted drama, the guards escorted them during their return.There was actually a slight sense of pity for them. In the past, when they acted arrogantly towards me, I hated them so much. But seeing them in such a miserable state now, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for them.‘Ugh, can’t you make up your mind?’ Mythril sounded displeased with the pity settling on my chest.‘I can’t help it. They look miserable. They said Mrs. Gertrude cried endlessly.’ I thought while gazing at the tip of the Dawson family home’s roof from my bedroom window in Gabriel’s house.‘At least they weren’t executed,’ Mythril snorted.On the third day, Mr. Pascoe and Harlow came to pick me up. I descended to the ground floor in an emerald green dress and a small bag of clothes. Gabriel was already waiting for me downstairs.“Are you rea

    Alexa“I, Alexa Dawson, from Silver Moon Pack, rejected you, Gabriel Scott. I hoped you found solace and peace upon you from Moon Goddess.” My hand squeezed Gabriel’s, which felt damp with sweat.As soon as I finished saying that, my heart pounded. As if my heart was about to burst out of my ribcage. My emotions were the same as when I jumped off a cliff. My chest burned like fire, spreading lava throughout my veins.Gabriel groaned like me. One of my hands clutched at my chest, while my fist pressed against it, hoping to lessen the pain.The veins on his neck and temples bulged. I didn’t know this could be physically dangerous for us. The pain made it difficult to breathe, as if I were drowning in a bottomless ocean.Tears streamed down my cheeks even though I tried to hold them back. Even Gabriel showed the same symptoms. We cried and howled. Zeev echoed a wave of pain that was met with the same energy from Mythril.Our two energies then displayed a silvery light so thin it was almo

  • The Supreme Luna   81: Giving It All Back

    AlexaI sat beside Gabriel’s bed, lost in thought. The blonde man still had his eyelids closed, his breathing steady. Two days had passed since that cursed wedding day, yet he had not regained consciousness. The wound from Harlow’s attack had a severe impact on him.It was understandable, since Harlow had torn through a vital point in his neck. If Mrs. Geeny had been late to help with the regenerative ritual, Gabriel might have died. Fortunately, he survived enough to go to the hospital.I gazed out the window into the dark night. The night had grown late, and the time showed exactly eight in the evening. I had been here for thirty minutes, observing his unchanged condition. Regardless, my bond with him compelled me to ensure his safety, even if I was slightly reluctant.While Gabriel and Harlow’s case was being discussed, Mr. Pascoe took over as acting Alpha. Until the matter of succession settled and punishment decided, nothing was certain. Even my house had to wait for the elders’

    Romero“Alpha Romero, with all due respect, why were you so sure that all this was not a fabrication by two female witches?” asked Mr. Darius, still with his false bow.I reconsidered everything they had shown me during my time here. This Silver Moon Pack could be an unfriendly environment, especially for the Omegas. These elders—I didn’t know what authority they had. But judging by their behavior, they were merely old people who interfered too much in the governance.My eyelids closed as I recalled all the memories of that wolf-head necklace. A precious heirloom from my father, now completely gone after revealing the memories it saw in silence. The necklace, passed down from my grandfather to my father, was given to a woman named Diana instead of my mother.The story of a true mate who ran away from my father, driving him mad. It turned out that the woman was the sister of the elder in the Silver Moon Pack.Was that why the Moon Goddess had destined me to meet Alexa? This was a golde

    AlexaI was still watching the two young girls. Invisible, I saw everything that happened about the necklace. Everything related to the wolf-head pendant and Harlow unfolded one by one.“I know, I know. This is too much to ask, I know, but I don’t have a choice. I’m dying, Trudy.” Diana’s hands gripped Gertrude’s arms. “I don’t have time.” Diana’s tears fell, and she struggled to form words.“They banished me. My parents, they didn’t want anything from me or my son. They said I was a disgrace to them.” She sobbed.“Oh no, Diana. Maybe it was only temporary. They are respected nobles in the pack, and I had worked as their servant for five years. Not once did they ever hit me,” Gertrude tried to reassure her. “Besides, you are their blood relative. There’s no way they can abandon their child and grandchild.”“No, Trudy. This was real. They wouldn’t listen to me.” Diana lowered her tear-streaked face.“I need to save this child. I would do anything for him, but I’m dying, Trudy. Please,

    AlexaHarlow now stood beside me. He had replaced Lorraine, who had now sat back in her original seat. In his hand, a silver necklace with a wolf-head pendant reflected a soft light on his face. Harlow turned to me, seeking support.‘It’s okay, Harlow. Let’s do this.’ I nodded at him while voicing my conviction.He nodded in return. I looked at the brass cauldron. The silver water had been replaced with fresh liquid. The servants and Mrs. Geeny cleansed it back to its pure state.During the re-cleansing of the cauldron, people used the time to take a quick break. At least the reception food wasn’t wasted, and the guests ate until nothing was left.During the break, to avoid unpleasant remarks, I checked on Alpha Gabriel’s condition. He was still unconscious from the sedative. I didn’t know what would happen when he woke up, but he would be shocked.There was a slight feeling of pity for him. Of course, this mate bond couldn’t disappear until we performed the rejection ritual. After th

    AlexaI was still standing in the view of Lorraine’s memory. The memory fog made me experience firsthand what happened in the past as Lorraine. From the memory in October 2022, anyone affected by the memory fog would understand what Alpha Gabriel did to cheat in the alpha trial.Harlow became the victim. He would also be considered as an accomplice who helped Gabriel in the test. Yet, Harlow was not the only one who would be accused, but also the woman in front of me.“Do you hear me?” asked Mrs. Gertrude to Lorraine.“Sorry, Mama. What was that?” Lorraine asked Mrs. Gertrude.The woman groaned while rolling her eyes upward. “I said, have you given that cake to Beta Drake?”“Oh, not yet,” Lorraine replied, while tucking strands of her hair behind her ear. The next second, Lorraine picked up a transparent nail polish from the table. She ignored Mrs. Gertrude.“Why not

    AlexaEveryone in the ballroom shook their heads. Their voices sounded like the buzzing of a swarm of bees rather than the howling of wolves. No one believed Lorraine’s words.“Ms. Lorraine, if Alpha Gabriel cheated during the alpha trial, why did you stay silent even though you knew? You even worked in the secretariat office as the alpha’s assistant.” Mr. Pascoe asked Lorraine, his eyes widening.“He was still the best candidate for alpha.” Lorraine answered with difficulty, her voice hoarse.“Did I hear that correctly? It’s not up to you to decide. There’s a reason we determine the alpha through a series of trials.” Mr. Pascoe’s forehead furrowed. He showed his disapproval of Lorraine’s blind devotion displayed in public.“Now, after the duel challenge, Alpha Gabriel lost to his opponent in the final alpha trial.
