Broken Bond: Revenge in Full Moon

“I reject you, Lily!” Alpha Dylan spat, his voice echoing through Fireflies Pack.Lily’s world stopped at that instant, and in the next seconds, the whole mating ceremony was filled with whispers of confusion. Lily’s widened eyes were glued to Alpha Dylan, the love of her life and the mate of her dreams. “You have got to be kidding, right? The chiefs asked you to mark me. You are to mark me! Go ahead!” She pleaded, trying so hard to swallow the embarrassment she felt from what he had just uttered, but her words were met with an icy glare from him.“Alpha Dylan, did you just reject your Luna to be? If so, what are your reasons?” One of the chiefs demanded.“She is impure and unworthy to have me as her mate and Alpha.” He spat again. This time, it struck Lily’s heart without restraint.Her tears were already streaming down her cheeks. “We are in love, Dylan! You wanted me last night so badly that I gave in, and this is what I get? I’m not worthy of you? How?” She muttered and tried to g

“Why are you silent and alone?” Alpha Gabriel questioned Lily from behind, watching as she plucked roses from the garden.“I have always been alone,” she replied to him as if it wasn’t a new thing, without looking back. He could tell that she was worried by how she hid her eyes.“You saw him again?” he said to her, and she paused for a second and turned to look at Alpha Gabriel.“He is crazy! He said he wants me back. Isn’t that ridiculous?” she asked him, and Gabriel was surprised.He went into thought for a second. “He said that?” She nodded and decided to walk out of the garden, but then he held her back. “And what was your response?”“You raised me! I’m giving you my life,” she replied without emotion. “When are we going to strike?” she then questioned.“Sooner!” he replied, and she went closer to him and kissed his lips slightly.“I can’t wait. I can’t wait to rule over his Pack and watch him cry beneath my feet. I will forever be grateful to you if you see me through this reveng

The journey to Fireflies pack was brief but it felt like forever to reach the palace gate.“Finally!” she said to herself in relief as they reached the gate of the Fireflies.Lily rested her arms on her lap and stared ahead. The palace gate loomed closer. Guards watched the car like their lives depended on it. Yes, it did depended on it. Any penetration from outer forces will definitely spell doom to Fireflies pack and her citizens.The guards, arms tightly on their weapons – staring at the car approaching slowly while also looking up at the tower above them, waiting for the signal to either let through or launch an attack.The alarm buzzed loudly. The special tune for the alpha rang out and the metal gate slowly and loudly opened up to them.The ride to the palace was a little bit less tense than the journey from the outer boundary.Lily looked out the window to meet the familiar environment she once called home. Eyes meeting the path she shed tears on while she left Fireflies.Reach

Standing on the balcony, Dylan's eyes looked afar as he stared across the Fireflies Parkland; his eyes looking but his mind afar.Dylan rested both of his hands on the balcony rail, gripping the rail very hard. The view below blurred, though his eyes remained fixed on it. He exhaled slowly, then stopped midway, as if the breath had decided it didn’t want to leave him after all.Lena walks in gently and silently, sliding her hands round his waist. His body stiffened at her touch. Lena hesitated before speaking. When she finally spoke, her voice was measured – careful in a way it hadn’t been years ago.He began to feel relaxed when he realized it was Lena. “What are you thinking about?” Lena asked Dylan. “Nothing.” He lied. “Just trying to recount the meeting that happened earlier today.” “I saw Lily walk out of the courtroom earlier. What was she doing there?” She nagged, crossing her arms around him and tightening it in the process.“That won't be necessary.” Dylan replied cooly. “

When the last elder left, a complete silence fell over the room. Lily stood from her chair and went back to sit down.Dylan sat quietly for a moment, then got up, and walked to the bottom of the table close to Lily rather than to the top of it.“Lock the doors,” Dylan said.An elder hesitated, then left to lock the large double iron doors. Two clicks. Lock.When he returned, he did not look at Lily. Rather, he stared at Dylan as if Lily were a stain on the floor, and he refused to acknowledge her.Dylan rapidly looked around the room at all of the elders. Then he looked at Lily.“You heard,” Dylan said.Lily’s lips curved upward slightly, but not quite a smile. “I heard you are looking for information.”The nostrils of one of the elders flared. That same elder’s hands were bunched into fists, and were turning white from the pressure.Dylan did not react to the elder’s tone, and that seemed to make things worse. The old Dylan would’ve been punished. This one…just agreed.“We found him
