Don't Beg Me, Alpha

“Did you truly think a nobody like you could be Luna?”Kyle stood on the stage, tall, handsome, in a sharp suit. His words hit me like lightning, jolting me in that instant.Standing in the middle of the grand hall, I glanced around me at the crowd.I hadn't heard him wrong, had I?Just three months ago, this same man had stood before the Pack and claimed me as his mate. His future Luna.Despite my growing apprehension, I wanted to believe he was joking. But the whispers from the crowd echoed.“I knew she wasn’t fit for him.”“The Alpha only pitied her.”“Imagine thinking she’d be our Luna- an outcast, a cursed rogue- pathetic!”My knees buckled. He used to shield me from these very whispers, telling me I didn't need a name or lineage for him to choose me.I'd spent my entire life fighting to matter, and in a heartbeat, his words turned me invisible again.My gaze locked on my mate, searching for the playful spark that always softened his eyes.Those eyes used to soften only for me.

No words. No reactions. In a split second, all the enforcers’ cold bodies were lying on the floor, bathing in their own pool of blood. And Kyle stood over them, eyes flaming with a fury that made me instinctively coil backwards. His movement was fast, his sharp claws elongated, now dripping with blood. When he stepped forward, I almost believed I would end up just like the enforcers. My heart raced, my entire body shaking. But Kyle suddenly scooped me up in his arms, gently, carefully, as if afraid of hurting me by holding on too tight. In that moment, I almost had the delusion that the man who had showered me with love and care was back. If not for the deep-seated hatred in his eyes as he stared at me, I would have foolishly believed that all that had transpired before now, right from the Luna ascension ceremony, was a dream. Despite having so many things to say, I remained silent in his arms. Despite my heart seething with rage and the feeling of betrayal. Kyle took me i

Selene made that gesture only to drag my attention to it, clearly provoking me. I didn’t waste time before striding forward and grabbing it from her neck.The jewelry grazed her skin, but the pain was fleeting, barely present as I also felt it. However, Selene’s scream shook the walls and she fell, grabbing her neck. “It hurts! I can’t breathe! Kyle, please help!”Kyle caught her before her body touched the floor, his eyes turning dark as he gave me a murderous look. “You must be out of your mind! How dare you hurt her in my presence!?”I scoffed, returned my jewelry to the box, and turned to leave, planning to ignore her staged acting. But Kyle was soon in front of me, blocking my path. “It’s just a stupid jewelry. This is childish!”“Aria, I only intended to borrow it because I found it beautiful,” Selene sobbed, still holding her neck. “Can you please stop hurting me because I’m weak? Please stop taking advantage of my situation. I know you hate me now, and I apologize for every

Annoyance replaced my excitement, my fists curling involuntarily.What was Kyle doing here? Dressed in an impeccably dark suit, he stepped forward, each footstep slow with a practical arrogance.“Mr. Sinclair, I’ll leave you guys alone.” The security man quickly excused himself. Kyle stopped in front of me, his eyes holding a condescending look as he stared down at me, his lips twitching in obvious mockery. “You didn't need to pull that kind of stunt just to see me. A phone call will do to make me send someone to pick you up.”Huh? Did he assume that I had come here looking for him? Undoubtedly, Kyle was the one who ordered the security man to let me in. It wasn't Draco as I’d initially thought.Not only did I find his statement irritating, but it was so funny that I fought the urge to laugh out loud.I rose to my feet and folded my hands across my chest, regarding him for a moment. “Mr. Sinclair, even if I was bored, I’d rather go throwing pebbles at a river than to look for you.

The number of security men guarding the place was far greater. Guests arrived in luxurious cars, and to gain entrance, one had to show their invitation cards.Great!Just great!I paced back and forth, wondering what to do next.I couldn't pull the same stunt as yesterday. First of all, I was wearing a pencil skirt, and secondly, the gates’ design made it impossible to climb.An idea clicked instantly. Without wasting a second, I brought out my phone and searched for a contact.Thank goodness I still had his number.When I dialed it, the phone rang only once before the other person picked it up.“What a small world! Someone pinch me, I think I’m dreaming!?” His anxious voice sounded, full of surprise. “You only remembered me after many years, Aria. That’s unfair!”Guilt crept in and I softened my voice. “It's not like that, Luke, you know I—”“Yeah. You cut everyone off after your exile. Even your closest friends. No need to explain anything. I know you’re disappointed in us for not
