ALPHA REXTON

~<>~

“The potions are here, Alpha.”

Nicola’s voice was unmissable because I had been waiting for him. The entire pack's future depended on what he carried.

My eyes darted away from my Beta, Ethan, and my Gamma, locking onto Nicola as I stepped forward and collected the crate. I turned, preparing to face my men again, when the heavy realization hit me that Nicola wasn’t the only person I had been waiting for.

That I had been waiting to see again.

“Where is she? Seraphina?” I ask

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   168. Toxic Obsession

    ALPHA REXTON~~While I couldn’t feel the tight hold on my neck because I had been shoved so far behind by my wolf, I felt the effect. My lungs… the same ones Kane had taken over burned, and for the first time since he forcefully took control, I felt something. The world outside my mind warped and tilted dangerously as Kane’s desperate thoughts exploded into a panic-stricken frenzy, his dominance shattering like thin glass against an immovable wall of pure Lycan strength.“Kane!” I screamed for him.But just like he had been doing since he pushed me to the back of his mind, he ignored me, using most of his strength to keep me restricted while Kieran zapped the rest out of him within seconds. “I always thought Rexton was the worst…” Kieran’s voice sliced through the wall that Kane had put between me and the rest of the wall, leaving a massive crack in it. “But you have proven me wrong, wolf.” “Y-you know nothing about m-me—" Kane seethed, struggling against Kieran’s hold. The fu

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   167. KIERAN’S POV (15)

    KIERAN~~“T-that’s enough, Alan.”It wasn’t until I forced my Lycan back with everything I had that he finally ceased the kicks to Dahlia’s already battered body.Aside from the fact that there was no point in torturing her further in that state, I also had to remind my Lycan that she wasn’t our priority right now.“We should get Ina to Nicola and start digging around for the location of the witches' ancestral altar before the next blood moon eclipse…”Alan immediately retracted his consciousness at the mention of our daughter, giving me back full control of my body.The familiar, comforting weight of Ina’s limp form settled in my arms again. I looked down at her pale face, vowing internally to keep her safe and get Celeste back before it was too late.Quickly, I turned on my heel, leaving Dahlia’s cell with the sole intention of returning to Nicola’s lab.Alan and I were already calculating the exact number of days we had left to save Celeste as I rushed through the forest, but I

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   166. My Dark Path

    ALPHA REXTON~~Even though everyone had left Nicola’s lab, I remained there with the old man who had seen me at both my highest and lowest.Ethan had returned to his grieving family, and Kieran had carried Seraphina to the dungeon…. Even though a part of me believed that I should be the one going with her. I should be the one carrying her through this difficult time. It should be me by her side, questioning Dahlia about the whereabouts of our daughter. Yes, Kieran, whom I still hated more than the word "hate" could describe, was meddling but I couldn’t bring myself to stop him. Nor could I fight against him. Hell! I couldn't even get myself to leave Nicola’s lab despite the fact that the old man was ignoring me. “We still have a chance, Rexton. This isn’t the time to give up.” My wolf stated, urging me… encouraging me, in fact. After all, he could feel just how weak and defeated I felt. He could feel the failure zapping through me more than anyone else. Usually, Kane's words

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   165. Cute Lycan Pups

    KIERAN’S POV (14)~~The key…The last time I heard about that word, it was in relation to the witches’ ancient but sealed power, but even though the term was the same, hearing Dahlia speak it now brought a completely different kind of pain to the center of my heart.Because this time, Celeste was mentioned in the same breath as the key. The same key that we all knew would unleash the dormant, dark powers of the witches.The same key that… Goddess!“Ina…”I called out through our bond, my arms snaking tighter around her body as she went completely limp, perplexed by shock and crippled by fear.She couldn’t respond. Not before her head fell back against my shoulder, her eyelashes fluttering closed as darkness dragged her under. The fast, terrified rhythm of her heartbeat slowed into a shallow, exhausted pace. Her mind, already running on low energy after the S-rank ritual, had simply shut down under the sheer weight of the news.Our bond twisted before it went dead silent, leaving m

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   164. The Key

    SERAPHINA~~When I decided to come to Dahlia, I prepared myself for anything that she could possibly say. I promised myself not to lose my cool and made Kieran promise me that he wouldn’t attack her even if she verbally attacked me. However, when she said, “Yes, I birthed Arlo, but biologically, he isn’t my child, Seraphina…. Which makes your words invalid.”When she said those words to me with a straight but battered and dirty face, my breath hitched, and I could feel my brain skipping for a whole minute. Even when she said something about how it was only fair, I lost Celeste after she lost Rexton to me, it didn’t hit as hard as what she said about her son. I mean, how on the Goddess’s earth is that possible? Kieran's muscles tensed around me, and I had to remind him of his promise. That wasn’t enough to make him stop snarling, but it did stop him from attacking Dahlia, who wore a satisfied smirk on her face as if she had truly won in life. “You aren’t the biological mother o

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   163. DAHLIA’S POV (11)

    DAHLIA~~The last tangible memory I had was in that tent where I saw myself losing to my twin sister. Ever since Lila disappeared with the Hybrid pup, I have been slipping in and out of consciousness. Although I had a few foggy memories of Rexton asking me where his daughter was and Ethan begging me to tell him where he could find the niece he never got to be an uncle to. Those foggy memories were created after Lila left me to be captured by the Lycans, and as expected, they brought me back to Crimson Moon pack, and if I was right, I was somewhere underneath the mansion I had spent years making my home, tied up like a fucking criminal. But what crimes had I committed? From my perspective, the answer to that question would be, “None.” However, if seeking a man’s love is a crime, then I would be guilty as charged. If trying to ensure that the man I loved also loved me back was a criminal act, then fine! I would be a criminal. Or maybe my cries weren’t related to love or to th

    DAHLIA’S POV~~I stared at the woman standing before me, and for the first time in years, I felt the cold prickle of genuine terror.She wasn’t supposed to be back. She was never meant to return, yet there she was, staring at me like I was nothing but a helpless fly she could stomp on if she wa
