The Alpha's Forbidden Luna

Hazel's POV"Francis?" I called, my voice trembling as I crawled closer. His eyes were empty, yet I could see a trace of pain, longing to say something.This couldn't be happening.I stumbled backward as Francis's lifeless body fell. I reached out to call or at least check if he still had any life but nothing; his skin was ice cold, sending shivers down my spine. I frantically checked for a pulse, my fingers shaking against his wrist."No, no, no," I cried. I was so confused why everything was happening this way.First Mom, Dad, and now him.Suddenly, there were footsteps.Where are they going? I thought they had left. My heart raced at the thought of them coming back. Was it possible that they had also done this to Francis?"Hazel Myelin, you're under arrest for hereditary crimes of treason and the murder of your fated mate," the head guard growled, his club at the ready. "You'll face the council of elders and accept your judgment."What?My eyes widened.“I didn't kill Francis! By t

Hazel's POVThe iron bars of the cell rattled as they dragged me roughly from the cold stoned floor. My wrists ached from the tight cuffs they had worn on my hands, the metal biting and tugging into my skin. I stumbled, catching myself against the wall, heart pounding with a mix of fear and anger at the same time.Get moving,” one of the guards barked, shoving me forward. I shot a defiant glare at him, but it didn't do so much as a sinister laughter followed. It was almost as if they enjoyed my helplessness, a traitor’s daughter in their grip under their absolute mercy.“Please listen to me. I didn't do anything. Francis was my mate. How could I kill him? I didn't do it. Someone must have set me up. Please listen to me." I begged uncontrollably, hopeful for at least some kind of sympathy.“Just give me a chance to prove to you that I'm telling the truth, please,” I cried. He raised an eyebrow, amused. “You think you deserve a say in this? You’re the daughter of traitors.”Daughter o

Hazel's POV I froze at the spot, my heart thumping fast. I couldn't tear my eyes away from his intense gaze. His silver-grey eyes held something that I didn't understand. Is it anger... or is it hunger? Seeing him on the royal platform with the crown, I already know who he is. Our new Alpha Xavier Dyon of the Golden Dawn pack. His presence held the power that I could feel even from the distance that separated us.I've heard rumors about his viciousness and ruthlessness in battle and how little he tolerated traitors and criminals. Even as the late Alpha's son, he has much more blood on his hands than all the Alphas of the other packs put together, as he never hesitates to eliminate anyone who commits any crime in the pack. His masculine, intimidating body build holds an authority that causes all the betas, omegas, and even Alphas from other packs to tremble at his presence. His cold grey eyes give people chills as they hold no expression of his thoughts. As I looked at him again, I

Xavier’s POVI looked at the frail woman in my arms. Her pale face was ghost-white, and sweat dripped all over her face. She looked delicate, extremely delicate for someone accused of murder.I couldn't have cared less about the shocked gasps coming from the pack members as I carried her in my arms from the Moonstone ground back to my mansion. They can murmur all they want, but they dare not challenge me openly, not unless they are ready to suffer the consequences. Kael followed closely behind, his face showing a mixture of confusion and dissatisfaction. I stopped at the entrance to my mansion, turning to him."Bring the doctor right now," I ordered, my tone ruling out any form of argument."Yes, Alpha," Kael said, bowing as he hurried to do as he was told.Once getting inside, I laid her on the sofa in the grand living room. She was lighter than I expected, her frame alarmingly slim. I stepped back to look at her pale face.Marianna, the head maid of the house, came in, a look of c

Xavier's POVShe trembled as my fingers closed around her throat. Her eyes were wide and scared as tears began gushing down her cheeks. She battled defenselessly against my powerful grip."Ple- - ease" I heard her murmur weakly.I came to my senses and abruptly released her. Her hands flew to her neck, rubbing the red marks that my agonizing grip left on her. She gasped and panted for air as she crawled as far from me as she could. Her delicate body shaking with fear."Why..." she croaked, her voice broken. "Why did you...?" she wheezed, gasping for air.I turned my back to her, unable to look at her as guilt crept over me. My wolf snarled inside me, fuming with rage."Why did you hurt her? What's wrong with you?" He snarled.Without a word, I left her room.As I made my way to my study, I thought of what might have happened if I didn't control myself. I might have killed her.I entered my study and banged the door shut with enough force to shake the windows. I settled down heavily i
