REVENGE FROM THE ALPHA

DARIUS ALFONSO.

What is the worst feeling for an Alpha? Losing his Luna. 

And I lost mine. 

“No, no, no, don’t leave me like this, Blue. Stay. You can’t leave me like this.” Whispering desperately, I hugged the bloody body of my Luna closely.

I denied it from the bottom of my soul but the sensation of our bond being broken and my mate losing her life in my very arms was extremely clear.

I couldn’t save her. 

I was too late to save my Luna.

“Shit, shit, shit, no, What will I do without you?”

Our bond was breaking, my soul was screaming that I am losing my mate.

My gray eyes filled with angry tears, my black hairs were messy, all over my face but I ignored my terrible condition and focused on her, constantly growling in rage.

“Da.. rius..” 

She coughed up blood, holding my hand weakly in her soft one. She had barely any time left. I knew I was being punished for my sins.

I was going to lose my Luna. 

“Blue…” 

I kissed the back of her palm, refusing to let her go, emitting shallow breaths but deep down I knew I would be punished.

She smiled in pain, bringing her hand closer and cupping my cheeks but instead the blood on her hand tainted my skin.

Shaking, I was hesitant to let her go. 

I was unable to think properly. To lose your mate was the most gut-wrenching feeling ever. 

“Who did this to you? I swear, I would kill that person in the worst way possible. Just tell me who it was? I will avenge you.” I growled, holding her hand again tightly.

My jaw clenched, my anguish was converted into pure anger. My heart was burning with the urge to rip the person apart who dared to hurt my mate. 

“Just tell me the name and I would do the worst to that person.” I hissed.

And when I was outraged, Blue released a tear along with a declaration that was going to change my life forever-

“Your sins… are going to chase you, Darius…”

She told me my future before dying and I neglected it.

I knew I didn’t lead the most inspiring life but that was in the past I left behind five years ago. 

“I don’t care about anything. Just tell me who it was! I don’t care about anything anymore!” I growled, curling my hands in a fist.

Tears were shining on my face, holding her crimson body to my chest, embracing her with all my might.

“It's…” 

She groaned in pain, holding onto me for the final time.

“The Red… Huntress.” 

Those became her final words as she looked at me for the last time before leaving me alone in this cruel world.

She told me the name of the ruthless huntress who ripped her life apart and took her last breath. 

“What…? A human… Kill a Luna?

My eyes widened in utter disbelief. Not expecting that huntress would target my Luna and for what reason? 

I have only heard how beastly she is, she was always on outer boundaries. I have never seen her and how dare that bitch targeted my mate. 

But- why my mate? What did we do? Why torture me?

“Blue? No, no, you can’t do this to me. Don’t leave me yet, Blue. Wake up. Blue!” 

Losing myself, the pain in my body was immense, the bond was broken. The ache confirmed it. Whatever me and Blue used to have was now dead.

I have lost my Luna…

“No!!” 

Gasping in pain, I held my chest, gritting my teeth to bear with this unbearable feeling. For five years we were together and now…

Everything was turned to ashes.

“Blue!!” I called her loudly, as a few tears spilled without any control, converting into pure agony and rage. 

I swear whoever it is, it will pay. 

And when I was scattered, devastated over my mate’s dead body. Completely broken- I heard a mocking voice coming from above.

“Tch, tch, tch. How sad.” 

When did someone come? 

Scowling, my body was ignited with rage because of that cape and scarlet bow, I knew instantly, it was the Red Huntress.

She had stumbled upon her death. A fiery fire was evoked inside me as my grip tightened on Blue, growling furiously.

“You…” 

Furiously, the moment I looked up, I greeted those undesirable familiar blue eyes which vanished my fury for a heartbeat.

“...Are alive?”

How could this be possible? Didn’t she die that day? Wasn’t she in the dungeon? 

I thought it all ended five years ago but I was wrong.

“Alive and much better than I was once with you.” She snickered, smirking, not leaving her lips.

Her chestnut hairs flowing along the air, upholding a dominant presence. Her sapphire eyes were now dead.

“You are the Red Huntress?” I asked vaguely, scanning her.

My eyes widened in disbelief, a needle pierced my soul when I saw the woman whose path I left five years ago was before me. 

Seeing her brought back terrible memories. 

Athena Becker…

“Yes. I am the Red Huntress.” Her soft, velvety yet cold resonance came, smirking at my pain.

She smirked at me how I smirked at her when I shattered her life.

I understand now. My sins are chasing me.

Those piercing blue orbs glanced at my mate’s body and then at me laughing at my pain. 

“Such a compelling sight. How does it feel to lose your greatest strength, Alpha Darius Alfonso?” 

The woman before me was not the woman I knew five years ago. I could tell by one glimpse.

She had turned stone-cold, heartless. 

She had become a huntress.

“How could you…” I growled, curling my hands in a fist, losing my composure upon witnessing her.

No matter what, I couldn’t neglect the fact that she killed Blue and she is going to pay for her actions. 

How dare she take my hatred on her.

“Why did you do this to Blue?! What did she do wrong?!” I yelled, heartbroken.

“If you wanted revenge, why didn’t you kill me?! Why hurt her!?” I continued, tears glistening in the corner of my eyes but she didn’t take my words seriously.

“What fun would that be? How do you expect me to end everything so quickly? This is only the beginning.” She hummed, leaning her shoulder against the tree, releasing a tempting aura.

What we used to have was dead and she had no right to kill Blue. 

I swear, I would make her pay.

“Why Blue?!” I yelled again.

“You are asking this, you fucking murderer?!” She scowled.

Snapped at me for a moment but soon regained her posture with a deep breath. She closed her eyes for two seconds and when she opened them, she was in her compelling demeanor again.

“Ah, I was dying to see how tears would see you.”

A seductive smirk spread across her soft features, waving her hand in the air before sitting down on the branch. 

“Must be the first time losing a loved one, hmm?” She mocked, coming down to indulge in my agony. She was loving my pain, my tears, my heartbreak.

‘That already happened.’ 

I thought but silenced my words and kept glaring back at her. The throb of losing my mate overwhelmed me. 

“You…” 

Outraged, I converted my grief into wrath and power so I could teach this woman a lesson. I transformed and jumped to attack her.

She didn’t die back then but today she would.

With my very hands. 

Being an Alpha, I was extremely fast and threw her against the tree but she was no longer the woman I used to know. 

“Damn you.” 

She winced and took out her bow and hit my leg. What a deadly precision. 

When did she learn it?

I growled, not expecting her to catch up with my speed but I forgot that she was not my Athena- I mean- She was The Red Huntress. 

“You damn woman…” I growled, coming to attack her and tackled her, making her cough up blood. 

“Tsk, damn you.” She spoke coldly, rising from the ground, brushing the dust from her uniform.

Infuriated at her mockery, I subdued the pain in my body. I won’t stop today. She would pay.

Pouring all my strength, I jumped to kill her, I won't spare mercy. She killed Blue, she won't get away with it.

She was also about to release her arrow on my face.

One of us was going to kill another at this very moment.

“Darius.”

“Athena.”

Her features abruptly dropped dead serious, glaring at me which indicated that she had returned to take vengeance for what I did. Circumstances have changed. Things were going to be different.

“I told you, didn’t I?” 

We both had a glaring competition, on the verge of attacking each other and growling at me, she enunciated her revenge.

“I will kill someone you love one day.”

And returning the growl, I declared my intentions too-

“And I will kill you in the end.”
