Beyond The Alpha's Wrath, Claiming his Luna

Esme POV“What?” I turned around.Leo stood in front of me, his face twisted with rage, his black shirt ruffled and opened at the top.“No, no, no!” he marched up to me and gripped my shoulders.“Get off me! What did you say?”“Why you? Why now? I’ve known you my whole fucking life and never felt anything like this.”“Leave me alone,” I shoved him.He glared at me. This had to be a joke. I glared at the crescent moon and mentally cursed the moon goddess. What was she thinking paring me up with Leo? He’s an asshole.“You can’t be my mate,” he mumbled.“Yes, because I’m a slave, I know!”“A wolfless slave!”Tears stung my eyes. I didn’t get my wolf. I’d be ridiculed for not having one for the rest of my life. I dusted myself off. I’ve been dealing with the pain for years I was strong I could handle this heartbreak too.“I’m leaving,” I said, I didn’t want him to see me in my weakest moment.Leo grabbed my arm and dragged me back to him. He snaked his right arm around my waist and held m

Esme POVWhere did he come from? The Banquet must have ended so he came out for some air. He stroked my hair but it wasn’t enough to ease the pain.“Set your wolf free, Pet. She wants to come out.”I stopped fighting the pain but I was sure I would die from it. As long as it would end. Once I surrendered control I think I got smaller and hairier.I had four legs, long ears and brown spikey fur.“What’s happening? I’m not supposed to be here.”“You’re my wolf!” I said through the mind link.“No, I can’t be. You’re not supposed to have a wolf.”That’s a bummer, but the stone worked! I turned to Knox and he looked at me proudly.“I told you you could do it, Pet.” He stuck a cigarette between his lips and pulled out a lighter from his pocket.So he came out here to smoke.“This isn’t right you’re not supposed to have a wolf. You’re wolfless.” My new wolf whined.I panicked. I just got her I didn’t want to lose her already. I willed myself to return to my human form. I wrapped my arms arou

Knox POVThe Highbridge Pack was one of the fiercest and most well-respected Pack for miles until my Pack came around. The respect my Pack carried came from fear. I marched into the Alpha King meeting room with my trusted men. The large room consisted of the Alpha King, the crowned Prince and Luna Consort, the Luna and the Alpha’s puppets, but since the old King could barely think on his own I’d say he was the puppet.“Glad you could join us, Alpha,” Prince Leo said.I clenched my jaw. He was just a boy but he talked big. He didn’t even know what he was doing here.“Let’s make this quick,” Jax said.I slammed my fist on the table and locked eyes with Prince Leo and his High Beta. The Alpha King had been taken out of the equation a long time ago but I made a deal with the King. The ink on the document had dried and I held up my end of the deal.“I want my land, Old Man,” I said.“Don’t talk to the Alpha King that way Alpha Knox. You are a guest in this Pack show some respect,” the High

Esme POVKnox stepped into the kitchen. Jasmine and Griselda remained frozen as the Barbaric Alpha locked eyes with the Luna.“Oh Alpha Knox, I’m just handling the house help. It takes a lot to keep a house like this functional.”Knox took a step forward. “Shouldn’t you be taking care of your husband instead of mistreating the help?”Monica opened her mouth to speak but nothing came. “Well, I…the Alpha is just fine. I have other things to attend to.”“I suggest you get on with those things. There’s a lot to be done, isn’t there?”Monica offered him a pressed smile. “Of course, Alpha.”Why did he do that? What was he thinking? Once Monica was gone Mom kicked into action.“Alright, girls, leave everything. We’ll handle the dishes another time.”Jasmine and Griselda nodded before rushing out of the kitchen.Mom gripped my shoulders. “Pull yourself together, Esme. Get started on the laundry. Everything’s alright, honey.”I nodded trying to assure her but I couldn’t smile.She cupped my ch

Esme POV“I noticed you at breakfast, Esme. In your petite uniform. Did you dress that way for me? I noticed your pushed-up breasts and your legs in that skirt. You’re doing too much Esme.”I shoved him off using my wolf strength. Leo chuckled but he was back on me in a second but this time his grip wasn’t secure.“I wouldn’t waste my time. You’re the one doing too much by searching for me.”He gripped my jaw and slammed my head against the wall. “I won’t kill you for old-time sake, Esme.”“We were never friends,” I grumbled.His wolf flashed in his eyes and I felt the intensity of him. I winced and looked away. It was too much. My wolf wasn’t strong enough to block his presence.“We were lovers. Have you forgotten that night? I made you feel good and you left me hanging.”Heat rushed to my cheeks. “I didn’t… I…”He smirked deviously. “So innocent. You didn’t even know what was going on.”This wasn’t Leo talking it was his horniness. He didn’t have control over his wolf. Leo rejected
