VICTORIA
Getting married to the man I loved the most was the best thing that was going to happen in my life.
I gazed at myself in the mirror in my room and smiled.
Alpha Mike, my husband-to-be, was an alpha of a great pack in New York called the Moon Crescent Pack.
He was one of the sweetest men that ever lived, and even though he spoke rudely to me at times, I smiled and knew my man was going to change someday.
He is going to fulfill the promise he made to me to become his luna, and my alpha won't fail me.
I was dressed in a sparkling white wedding gown and a crown with my name inscribed on it—Victoria.
I am Victoria Luza, the daughter of the alpha of a powerful but a non-famous pack called the Ringscent Pack.
I was looking at my nice self in the mirror when I heard the door open.
"Hey sis," I said with a smile to Tiffany, my best friend, as she hugged me.
I called her my sister because she was there for me. Anytime I needed her, she was my best friend right from childhood.
"I hope the baby is happy for you," Tiff said, smiling as she bent down and rubbed her hands on my tummy. Of course, I am three months pregnant for my Alpha. She stood up and hugged me.
"The elders and family are waiting for you." I nodded, and then one question I have been wanting to ask suddenly came across my mind.
"Tiff, have you found your mate?"
"You will know him when the time is right," she smiled and left.
I was happy she finally saw her mate; she won't be the only one still single. She was really longing for a mate, and now she finds him, but then she sounds as if she found him long ago.
How secretive of her!
I sat looking at the people who came—the elders of my dad's pack and some of the wolves in my pack. I was really delighted to see them, even my parents.
We waited for Alpha Mike, but he didn't show up.
"The groom is nowhere to be found!" This statement pierced my heart deeply. There is no way this is impossible on this important day of our lives. My alpha can't be missing; this is supposed to be the happiest day of my life, and now my alpha can't be found?
What the hell is going on?
"We have been waiting for four hours now; where is Alpha Mike?"
Oh no! It seems my dad is getting angry. What should I do?
"Rina Should I be patient? What should I do?" I asked my wolf, Rina, as I was confused on what to do.
"This is getting embarrassing, Victoria," she said. "I think you should take to your heels and go look for him."
"Should I do that?"
"I think so; after all, I never liked him a bit," Rina rolled her eyes. I knew she never liked Alpha Mike, but that won't change the love I have for him.
I started tracking his number on my phone to locate where he was, and I got it.
I drove my car to the house and was so surprised that it was the one he promised that we would move into once I become his wife.
Gosh, thinking about it made me blush, but still, I wondered what he would be doing there.
Or is he preparing something nice for the wedding? Another thing crossed my mind—what an evil thought!
My alpha can't be murdered; oh, no, what am I even thinking? This thought raised my heart rate.
I started hearing voices from a room, and luckily for me, it was not locked.
I smiled and knew my alpha was in there; I opened it and saw what I saw.
"No, no, it can't be." My voice began to shake, and my eyes began to stiffen as tears flowed down my face.
Alpha Mike and Tiffany were kissing so passionately—someone I called my best friend?
Oh no, tell me what I am seeing is a lie; they were so into it as Tiff was half naked.
Tears flowed down as I fell to the floor. My body became weak due to the shock of what I was seeing, and I screamed so loudly as they jerked themselves up.
"Oh no, what's this fool doing here?" This statement came from someone I called my sister. My red eyes reached for her, and I began shedding painful tears. Is she, whom I called a best friend, still there? Someone I trusted with everything broke my whole heart into pieces.
Someone I called my sister was in the hands of the man I called my alpha, and he promised that I would be his Luna.
Not knowing I'd end up being betrayed by my best friend and lover,
"Alpha Mike, how could you do this to me?! What have I done to deserve this from you?!" I yelled with mixed emotions. He scoffed at my outburst like it meant nothing to him and the tears continued flowing from my eyes.
"Come on, useless, she is my mate, and you don't expect me to reject her because of a fool like you," he grabbed Tiff as they continued kissing. This pain of betrayal was so heavy for me to carry.
He promised me everything; he told me I was his one and only Luna. The pain I felt was so deep that I felt like dying.
I looked at my tummy, at my unborn child. I regretted the day I gave my body to him. I was so foolish to fall for his words. I took Tiffany's advice and slept with him, thinking he would thoroughly keep to his words.
"Hey, you can go abort that baby that you are carrying; it's a useless child since it doesn't have a father." Tiff growled and laughed as they continued in deep kissing and fell on the bed. Soon he began fucking her.
How dare she call my child a bastard? What type of life is this? This betrayal is worse than death.
I couldn't take this anymore; the pain I am feeling right now is too deep.
"Fuck you bastard! I trusted you with all my heart; I gave my everything to you—myself, pride, and dignity—a precious thing a lady would be proud of, yet you chose to dump me like this? You choose to betray me with someone whom I called my sister, my best friend, the one person I know as a confidant. How could you do this to me?! This isn't fair!" I yelled my frustrations out as they continued having fun with themselves, moaning and didn't even give a damn of what I said.
This pierced a deep hole in my heart.
"When you are done blabbering, you can leave! Me and my baby are having some fun," he continued, banging her. Looking at them made me too weak, so I ran out of there crying in deep pain. I got to my car, entered into it and dashed out of the house, speeding furiously along the streets of New York.
"Arrrghh!!!! Argh!" I shouted and wept as I banged the steering wheel of the car continuously.
All of a sudden, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach as I threw my gaze down and saw blood flowing in between my legs...
VICTORIA"Oh no! It's the baby!" Rina voiced out in hysteria."Huh!" I shrieked as my heart thumped rapidly against my chest and fear overtook me. I can't believe I'm miscarrying. "Oh moon goddess, please save my baby! I beg of you! Argh!" I wailed as I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and swerved the car to halt at the corner of the road.My voice was full of cracks and the loss of so much blood was beginning to drain my strength. "Victoria! Please be strong!" Rina cried with pity-filled voice as I held my stomach in pain; I tried to start the car again and rush to a hospital but I could barely lift a finger, my body was saturated with sweat.'No, this isn't happening, I can't lose you, baby...' I cried in my mind and clutched my tummy, feeling excruciating pains in my womb."Help..., Some... Body... Please, help!" I called out in an almost inaudible voice but my words only came back to me in an echo. The night was so dark, threatening and exuded terror and the path I treaded was a
VICTORIA"What!!!" I exclaimed, wide-eyed and my mouth hung open."Coma?! For two years?! How the hell?!" I deepened the lines in my forehead as disarray took over my mind.How is that possible? Does it have a connection with my fall from the cliff?? "Please grandma, say something! I'm still as confused as ever!" I huffed."It was an attempted murder on your life. Your fall from the cliff was carefully planned out and executed by an unknown person. I found you by the cliff and brought you here to my village. So many things happened while you're in coma, my dear," Grandma informed and her bright mood suddenly turned bitterly sour. I wondered what happened while I was away and who actually attempted to murder me. The thoughts gave me a skull-splitting headache as I made my way back to the bed and sat on it.Grandma also sat on the bed close to me and held my hands. "I'm sorry Victoria, your mother is dead. She couldn't bear the pain of you getting disowned by your father so she comm
VICTORIA"Flip the BBQ over!" Grandma yelled at me.It was already evening and we are out here, barbecuing meat on a grill.This was one thing I loved about visiting my grandma; I always got the chance to explore her wide garden filled with berries and cherries, and enjoy the savory taste of her home-made evening barbecue. I went to do as she said and returned back to continue listening to her tales about Lycans as I don't really know much about Lycans cause they seem far-fetched to me and are few."And then, there's the Alpha of Solitaire Mystic pack," she announced, shifting from the scary story of Lycans."What about him?" I asked; we laid on the soft grass and gazed at the huge mountain from faraway that overlooked Grandma's old cottage house. "The pack was once situated in this village hundreds of years back but now, the leading pack Alpha, Alpha Brendon has spread the pack throughout the city of Los Angeles." She sighed as she spoke."Yeah I've heard about him grandma. During
=====================BRENDON“What?! They escaped?!” I roared in fury, my fingers turning into black claws. “We couldn't do anything Alpha, the plan was too meticulous," the fretting scout in front of me apologized.I slammed my fists into the wall, my eyes turning to a darker shade of red and my body trembling with a murderous intent."What direction are they heading?" I managed to ask through gritted teeth and clenched jaws."They're heading Eastward," the scout replied, bowing his head.I raised my head up and ordered, "gather our men, we are finding them tonight!"That being said, I stormed out of the building.It was full moon and I could hear howling of wolves from far and near. The whole army arrived and shape-shifted into wolves.I stood tall and imposing in front of the army, my piercing gaze sweeping over each of them in turn."We have no reason not to find them tonight," I growled, my bloodshot eyes flashing with fury.I paused for a moment, letting the weight of my word
VICTORIABefore I knew it, he threw a punch at me, and, unfortunately, the punch landed on my nose. "Arrghhhh," I groaned as I felt immense pain.Instead of showing concern, he just ignored me and scoffed. "Let's do this," I said, frowning, my face now becoming serious as he threw a punch at me. His hands alone were so heavy that he might overpower me, but I breathed in and twisted his arm like he said. "Nice one. Let's do this three more times," Brendon said as I sighed. After we did it about three times, I was already exhausted, but I was interested in learning more."Anytime you twist an enemy's arm the way I just taught you, don't just wait until he strikes back. Release a punch or hit his arm to save yourself some time," Brendon explained more, but I didn't understand what he just said. He turned to the training ground and called one of his warriors. "Raymond, come here for a minute," Alpha Brendon called, and he rushed here. "I need to show her something," he said as he thre
"Surprised? But are you sure she's safe now, Brendon?" He muttered as he laughed like a devil, trying to get the upper hand.Ifelt a cold rage build inside me, and I turned back to face him. For the first time in my life, I felt nervous. I could feel my wolf stirring, demanding to be let out to attack Arturo. How the hell did he find out she's my Luna? I didn't tell anyone about this. Even John didn't know until today."You have no idea what you've just done, you just made a grave mistake, Arturo. You don't want to mess with me or my Luna. I'll make sure you regret this," I said, my eyes blazing with fury, my teeth grounding hard against each other. My hands clenched into fists at my sides, and my eyes burned with fury. I took a step closer to him, towering over him as I continued."You touch a single hair on her head, and I'll make you regret it for the rest of your miserable life."Arturo chuckled, unfazed by my threats. "Oh, Alpha," he said, leaning back in his seat. "You alwa
BRENDON Immediately after I left, an image of what I did flashed in my head. Back in the villa, when I stood up to confront him, I stealthily planted an audio recorder beneath the table where Arturo was sitting. I couldn't stand by and watch him make fun of me. I listened to the recording through the airpod in my ear, and found out where Arturo's brother was going. I signaled my men, Kale, Zik, Harris, and Bena, about the development.When we got in the car, we tracked him down and caught him. "Get out! How dare you! You don't know who I am!" he roared in anger, struggling hard as we threw him into the trunk. "Take him to the basement. You know where. Then wait for me," I ordered the boys."But, alpha, how will you get home? You can't just walk, and it's dangerous," Kale said, sounding concerned. I smiled and shook my head. "Don't worry. Beta John will come and pick me up. You just make sure he doesn't escape, and be careful. You know how sneaky he is." Kale nodded his head, g
VICTORIALike, really? This was my first time torturing someone like me. It was uncalled for. Deep down, I don't like it. I know he deserves more than death, but jeez, I don't have the courage for it. I hesitated when he asked me to stab his leg, My hands trembling as I held the knife, but I brushed aside the thought that it was evil and did it.Suddenly, John appeared out of nowhere. I never expected him to be here, and he looks so excited."John, show him the perfect gift I prepared for him," Alpha Brendon said with a cold smile. I was curious what the surprise gift was.I watched as John connected the laptop and opened a video of a lady and a child. Three soldiers pointed guns at them, and they froze in fear.And behold, the lady was someone I never expected to see. My heart sank when I saw her face clearly; it was my sister Josephine. How could this be? Josephine, my sister? Oh no! This isn't what I bargained for. How is this possible? My sister Josephine is now between life an
