Alpha’s Betrayal: The rejected Luna’s Secret

ALORA“Where the hell is he!? This is important. The thought clawed at my mind. A low growl vibrated in my chest, barely audible. That was my wolf. She was clearly unhappy, and she was having no trouble expressing it. My trusted slave maid, Anna, was currently driving me to the hospital for my regular prenatal check ups. Her eyes moved from the google maps back to the road and back again. Yes, I was currently three months pregnant and my husband couldn’t be bothered to show up and be present with me to see if our babies were okay.The car suddenly felt like a cage. I glanced at the seat beside me, where he should have been sitting. My wolf stood on all fours and growled. I tried to calm her down, and took a deep breath as I recalled my mother-in-law’s words from earlier.“He promised to be there with you at the hospital. There is nothing to worry about,” she had said. I trusted my mother-in-law –Catherine– who was the current Luna of the Silverback pack. It was my husband that I

Sebastian was gone when I woke up the next morning. He had left the door open, and I wondered if he had gone to find my sister again. Lilith had been in the hospital for a long time, so our parents would definitely want to see her. She must have gone to their pack, and Sebastian must have driven her there. He would do anything just to spend time with Lilith. It seemed like everyone felt that way when it came to Lilith, and it had been that way ever since we were little kids.Lilith was one of the lucky survivors of what was now known as ‘The biggest rogue attack in history’, but unfortunately, like many other kids at the time, her family and their home didn’t survive the attack. She was left an orphan, alone and with nowhere to go. But all of that changed when I met her… I fell in love with the little girl with thick black hair made into two untidy pigtails. I knew the richest families in the area were to adopt one orphan each and take care of them, and so I didn’t rest until I conv

Sebastian spent the night in a different room, and I spent the night tossing and turning. My wolf wouldn’t calm down, no matter how much I tried to pacify her. I always liked to think we had one and the same mind, but apparently not. She wanted me to rethink my decision, and she wasn’t backing down. So eventually, I settled on talking to Luna about it. Catherine was one of the people who knew about Sebastian’s true feelings towards my sister, so her opinion on the matter was very much important. I took my time getting ready. I carefully applied my makeup and hoped that it would serve as some kind of shield and provide me with the courage I needed. I even decided to take a break from my normal attire of jeans or sweatpants, and picked out a beautiful dress. I stared at myself in the mirror after I wore my dress, barely recognizing myself. I felt beautiful, but all I could think about was the fact that the exact same dress was resting somewhere in Lilith’s closet. The thought made me s

Once I was out of the gates, I didn’t look back. Somehow, a small part of me was scared that if I looked back, I would come face to face with Sebastian, and he would take me back to the life that I was trying to escape. I walked as fast as my legs could carry me, and I held my bag tightly to my chest. About ten minutes later, I let my veil fall. I was blended in with the darkness now. No one could see me. I was all alone. I stopped in my tracks at the thought. I was alone. I swallowed down a gulp of air. The forest suddenly seemed bigger. I felt small as I looked around. There was nothing but trees and trees for miles. I looked up to the sky that was framed by tree branches. The branches took different shapes, and some looked like claws that were reaching out to get me. The sound of insects suddenly became louder. I felt like I could see pairs of eyes in the darkness, but when I shook my head, they disappeared. The moon was covered by a layer of clouds, barely providing any light. I

I took in a big gulp of air once I felt the short man’s fingers leave my neck. I coughed, trying to breathe in as much air as I could. My throat felt raw and painful. I knew there would no doubt be an angry bruise on my neck.I was shaking violently. I had almost just died… I had almost just had my babies killed. I had never been so scared of anything in my life. I heard a scream and finally looked up, and the sight in front of me made me want to disappear into the ground even more. A huge black wolf was in front of me, tossing a smaller wolf around like it was paper. I figured the smaller wolf was the man who had just tried to strangle me to death. But who was the big wolf? I knew it wasn’t the other man who had been holding down my legs— because I could see him scurrying away in the other direction. The big wolf howled loudly as he flung the small one at the trees. I heard the unmistakable crunch of bones breaking as he hit one of the thick trees nearby. I gasped as he yowled out
