THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

So, the fact that I’m in the Blood Moon territory, doesn’t mean I’m in the pack already.

I don’t know the way to the pack.

I have been walking in circles for more than two hours now and I don’t seem to know where I’m headed to.

I’m frustrated, tired, famished and parched!

Nothing ever turns out good for me.

I had hoped to go over to the pack to ask a few wolves about the how I can get to Goodland, but here I am lost in the woods.

I tiredly sit on a broken tree trunk to rest for a while before I continue and that’s when I get a faint smell from a distance. Lyla immediately awakens, ready to defend me. I quietly rise up from the tree and look around me and soon, I hear growls and snarls and dry leaves crying as they are being crushed. I turn abruptly took and that’s when I see a group of about six werewolves, approaching me in a not so friendly manner. I take calculated steps backwards as they approach me.

This is not how I pictured it to be.

“Please, don’t hurt me, I mean no harm. I’m Reign Logan and I’ve been here before, I’m not here to cause trouble” I try to plead but who am I kidding?

Shapeshifting into your wolf form also means turning off your human side. Right now the only human order they can receive is that of their Alpha’s or individual mates. All what I’m saying means nothing but jargons to them and they are certainly going to mess me up.

There’s six of them, like one, two, three, four, five and six of them. If I shapeshift right now, they’ll think of me as a threat all the more and also, I wouldn’t be able to run as fast as I should because of my left hand that’s hurting.

A soft whimper escapes my lips when my bad hits against a tree and I can no longer move backwards.

The wolves keep growling and approaching me and I just close my eyes and wait for them to do what ever it is they want to do.

“Step away from her!” An authoritative voice orders and I quickly snap my eyes open to see who my knight in shining is and I’m not surprised at all to see Alpha Damien standing gracefully before me with a bewildered expression on his face.

He must be wondering what I’m doing in his pack again.

The six wolves retreat and stand behind him and he takes calculated steps towards me.

“Reign? Is that you?” He asks calmly.

“Yes Alpha Damien” I reply with a nod as far tear rolls down my left cheek.

That was a close call.

“I’ll take it from here, now head back to the pack all of you” He orders yet again and the six werewolves turn around and walk away. I let out a heavy sigh of relieve as I step away from the tree.

“Is everything alright?” He asks concerned and I nod and then shake my head at the same time.

“Yes, I mean, no…I mean, sort of” I blurt out equally confused and raises his brows.

“So, what are you finally saying?”

“Yes, everything is okay”

“If that’s the case then, what are you doing here?”

“That’s a long story”

“I have all day Reign. I really want to know why you are always on the move. Last month I rescued you right here in these woods and now, here we are again, almost facing the same scenario”

“Alpha Damien, the truth is that, my life is a mixture of ugly and ugly.”

“Oh…”

“Yeah”

“So, did you escape from Alpha Hardin?”

“What no? No one can escape from Alpha Hardin’s pack. He let me leave on my own. When he took me last month from your castle, we kind of made a deal where by I had to serve as a security guard…”

“Security guard? With a broken arm?” He asks aghast.

“Well, I didn’t let him know that I had a broken arm”

“Why not?”

“Because I knew he wouldn’t care”

Which I was wrong, by the way.

“… and I was scared that he would use that weakness of mine to torment me all the more, that’s why I kept it a secret from him”

“I see… so what was the deal?”

“For me to serve at the pack for one month and after that, I’m free to go wherever it is I want to go to” I explain and looks at me long and hard.

“Reign, you have never really told me the main cause of all these predicaments you keep going through. What exactly is going on?” He asks concerned.

“Alpha Damien, I’m going to tell you all that, but right now I’m too exhausted and hungry and parched to do any explanations”

“Come on then, let’s go to the castle so you can eat and rest” He says as he motions me to follow him and I obey.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“So, a very dear person to me used to tell me about a place called Goodland, he said it’s a place where all werewolves are welcomed…”

“Wait… *used to*?” He asks as he stops on his tracks and turns to look at me and I nod.

“Yeah , *used to*”

“That’s past tense, does that mean he’s no more right now?”

This man and capturing details!

“Yeah, he’s dead”

“Oh… I’m so sorry about that. What happened?”

“Well, it’s part of the explanation I’m going to give you when we get to the pack”

“Oh…alright then. So, you were talking about Goodland, what about it?”

“I just wanted to ask if you know the way there and also if you’d be kind enough to direct me on how to find the place”

“Why do you want to go to Goodland?”

“Well, I’ve heard a lot of good stories about the place, I just want to go there and start a new life”

“You can start a new life here in Blue Moon pack, my subjects are friendly and they are going to treat you right, I will make sure they do” He suggests and I smile in amusement.

A man with a heart of gold.

“Well, I have actually considered that before, but you see, the person who told me about Goodland mysteriously lost his mate and children, so he always spoke of wanting to go there start a new life, also, I’m kind of the main cause of his death so I owe it to him to fulfill that wish of his. That’s the main reason why I want to go to Goodland”

“You’ve only made me more anxious Reign. First I find you in the woods badly injured, next your Alpha brutally takes you away and now here you are in my pack again looking distressed and as if that’s not enough, you just told me that someone was killed because of you. I am dying to know this whole story.”

“And I’m going to tell you, just exercise some patience” I urge and he looks at me in awe.

“You know, for someone who’s going through such hard times, you have a courage in that heart of yours, even my Beta doesn’t talk so freely with me. How is it possible that you talk to me with such boldness?” He asks in bewilderment and I just smile and shake my head.

My mate, Alpha Hardin is bigger, scarier, looks way more intimidating than he does and the sound of his voice can bring down an entire castle, yet, I’m able to look him in the eyes and call him a hypocrite, sometimes scold at him properly.

If I can do that to the Paramount Alpha, then having a harmless, spontaneous conversation with Alpha Damien shouldn’t be a problem.

After all, in a way, I’m the Paramount Luna and it’s only normal that I have a different kind of courage and boldness bestowed in me by the Moon goddess. I can interact with any Alpha, however I want.

“Well…” I say as I smile “When I’m done explaining everything to you, you’ll understand how that’s possible”

“So there’s a reason after all”

“A very valid one!” I say confidently and he nods in agreement.

“Can I ask you a question?”

“Yeah”

“Have you found your mate? And if you have, what is he saying about all this?”

“That is also included in what I have to tell you”

“Oh boy, now my ass is on hot coals. You are doing a great job keeping me in suspense”

“Well, it’s just a matter of time and you’ll know everything”

“I can’t wait!”

We both walk on in comfortable silence.

“Thank you” I break the silence and he looks at me as we walk on.

“For what exactly?”

“For always coming to my rescue. Thank you very much.”

“I can’t do otherwise Reign, not when you look exactly like my late mate.”

I just nod my head and smile as we move on.

I’m famished by the way.
