☾☾☾ SASKIA'S POV ☽☽☽ Kaleb Sacramone makes no sense. No sense at all. Mikael's not dead. The man I talked to mere hours ago was everything but dead. Guttenbrieg's Lieutenant General often sucked at making coherent sense, but this is simply ridiculous. How dare he fake Mikael's death only to get under my skin? I might have slapped him if I didn't think he was insane. The werewolf needs a psychiatric intervention coupled with enough mental evaluations. His days in the dungeon must have turned him unhinged, a deranged creature. I make a mental reminder to request an appointment for him immediately after this is over. "Who is dead?" I parrot, pausing for him to assert that this is all a joke and rescind those hideous words. "Mikael isn't dead." Kaleb laughs in my face. Outright does so. I contemplate pulling out my daggers and holding them to his neck, drawing blood for his insolence. I fist my hands to keep from heeding any rash decisions. "Do you have hearing problems, Saskia? I b
☾☾☾ SASKIA'S POV ☽☽☽ "You know that's not how things work, Saskia." Wade's reply snags my focus, and I change my train of thought. "Once I pledge my loyalty to an Alpha, I become bound to him as one of his pack. The fact that I did already means that I was accepted. The only creature allowed to admit me into Guttenbrieg is its Alpha." I squeeze my eyes shut as a tremble shakes me to my core. It's difficult to process what Wade's made plain. I don't want to try because it's fatuous to do so. It would be pure idiocy to believe that Mikael's dead. It honestly can't be. I would know. As the woman who married him, who's mated with him, and most of all, as one who has come to love him artlessly, I would have known. I, of all people, should have felt him slipping away from this world. The planet should have felt off-center, tilted off-axis when he took his last breath. How could I not have known? What was I doing when—according to their hypotheses—he died? How could I have carried on w
Hello, lovelies!Thank you for reading to the end of The Luna’s Possessive Alpha. This is Book 1 of the TLPA Series. Book 2 is titled The Luna’s Broken Alpha, and will be made available on Goodnovel in the next few days. I sincerely appreciate all your support for Book 1, and I hope to see you all in Book 2!*Please read the blurb for The Luna’s Broken Alpha below:“To establish a balance in the supernatural realm, the two most powerful packs in North America formed a political alliance. This was achieved through the union of Princess Saskia and Alpha Mikael. However, the infection among the werewolf packs has only grown stronger since the ascension of the new Alpha. The supernatural world is currently on the brink of falling apart. War is closer than ever as corrupted werewolves escape the grasps of their vampire lords; chaos is bound to ensue.*Saskia accepted her fate in her new pack and was willing to do all that was needed of her as Luna until she had her title stripped away by
☾☾☾ SASKIA'S POV ☽☽☽ The rogue's claws scratch at my neck, drawing thin streaks of blood, and I hiss in apprehension, ready to retaliate. My blade glints wickedly as I slash at the canine twice at the neck, then deliver a deathly stab to its vulnerable heart. I can't help but flinch slightly when I hear its fury as it howls out in pain while great torrents of blood spurt out of its wounds forcefully. "Princess! Duck!" I twist my body and head just in time to dodge the dogging beast that had hurled itself at me, crashing into a spindly tree that falls on impact. I had been too occupied by the dying wolf that I lost focus on my surroundings. "He's their Alpha," I growl out a warning to my men who hurry to take formation as planned, enclosing on the three remaining wolves who have somehow found a place to hide for the time being. "Stay in positions!" "Yes, princess." The same voice says, and I turn to fix a hard glare on the annoying fool who has suddenly materialised at my side. It
☾☾☾SASKIA'S POV☽☽☽"Really, I am so proud of you, Saskia." He says, leading the way into the house after the wolves have returned to the training quarters with the excuses of ridding the adrenaline rush built up from the fight by getting in some practice.I had only scoffed at their lies as it was clear that no practices would be held. Not when the secret door in the challenge court existed, and I was certain as I had caught them throwing loud, illicit parties a few times—even joined them a couple of lonely days when I was drunk deep in the sorrows of my single life."You know that, don't you?" The Alpha asks unnecessarily as he paces around the poorly lit room, which has served as the spot where he does his meditations for as long as my memory holds true. And it suddenly hits me all over in a rush how much I hate the echoing emptiness of it all."Thank you, Alpha," I reply placidly, without a trace of emotions on my face. I want him to be proud of me, but not for this. Not for agre
☾☾☾SASKIA'S POV☽☽☽My hair furiously whips back in my face—courtesy of the dumb wind—as I lean on the window with my eyes shut, wishing I could launch myself out of the vehicle and back to Kansas City instead of being stuck on a hellish ride to Edmonton, fucking Canada.It's been hours since my waking, but I still can't believe a sleeping tonic had been mixed in my orange juice at breakfast. This, of course, was so I wouldn't be conscious when we left Missouri and, probably in my father's opinion, would not be able to escape.Without spelling out the obvious, however, it meant I was unable to say goodbye to those I'd planned to a day ago. Setting the betrayal aside, what hurts almost as much as it does is the lack of faith in me. It's unbelievable that even though I chose to marry the Alpha myself, I am not given the benefit of the doubt that I would keep my words.Sighing, I take a sip from the bottle of water by my side and try to think happy thoughts. The effort, nonetheless, is
☾☾☾SASKIA'S POV☽☽☽The snow is thick and up to my calves in profuse blankets of wet ice crystals. I trudge forward through the sea of blinding brightness while cringing at the thought of my shoes losing the glue holding their soles after this ordeal."Am I the sole person here who thinks it might not be too late to escape?" Wade groans as his left sneaker gets stolen off his foot by the thick, pale field."I wish." I huff then grin at the sight of him hopping on one foot as he shakes his now wet shoe. Serves him right. I think as I make my way ahead of his loitering figure and towards the supermarket a few metres ahead of us.If I could, I would escape; maybe run away to a new country, or a new continent or even a new world. I honestly wish to find a place yet undiscovered by the cruel, selfish reaches of humans and supernatural beings alike.The planet earth has been gradually destroyed by its creatures for ages, and it saddens me to see the consequences slowly unveiling themselves
☾☾☾ SASKIA'S POV ☽☽☽ "Forgive me, dearest." He says, without making any efforts to sound or seem remorseful. After pulling me out of the car, his grip finally loosens on my arm. I am about to breathe a sigh of relief when he swings his hand back and interlocks his fingers in mine. "What the hell are you doing?" I spit through clenched teeth. He grins crookedly at me, all crisp, perfect teeth on display. I yank my hand from his hold, but he squeezes my fingers tightly then clasps his right arm around my waist, pulling me smack against his side. Gasping, I insert a hand between his rib and my chest to add in enough space for my sanity while terribly hoping that my face has not turned scarlet like a red LED bulb. That would be embarrassing. Gulping in oxygen, I nearly gag, as the air, to my dismay, is thick with his scent—mainly of musk and amber, and like he'd frolicked in the woods. I overlook how they wrap around me, clogging every open orifice, and instead wait for his answer.
