2| Enough

“Let her cry. She will definitely get over it by tomorrow." Kristina said loudly.

That was the last thing I heard before the guards shut the door.

The room they threw me into was small. Too small for a Luna. Too small for a woman who had just given birth. The walls were bare stone, cold and gray. There was no window. Just a narrow bed, a small table, and a single torch burning weakly on the wall.

I fell to the floor the moment I was alone.

I cried.

I cried until my body shook so badly.

“My baby…” I whispered again and again. “My son…”

Every time I closed my eyes, I heard his cry. Every time I breathed, I felt the emptiness in my arms. My body still remembered his weight. My milk still came in. My womb still ached for him.

Hours passed.

Or maybe it was minutes.

Time did not exist in that room.

I pressed my forehead to the cold floor.

“Moon Goddess,” I begged. “If he is alive… please just keep him alive.”

everywhere was silent.

Slowly, something inside me changed.

The tears stopped.

My hands curled into fists.

I pushed myself up, my legs shaking, my body weak and sore. Pain shot through me but I ignored it.

And monsters did not deserve my tears.

I straightened my torn gown and wiped my face.

Enough.

“I will not rot here,” I whispered.

I opened the door.

The guard outside froze. “You... Luna you are not allowed.."

I walked past him.

He did not stop me.

Maybe he was afraid of a pained mother who just lost her child.

I walked anyway.

Each step hurt deeply, My stomach cramped. My head spun. But the image of Kristina telling Jaxon to execute my child made me want to snap off her tongue.

The throne room doors were open.

I stepped inside.

Kristina was sitting on my throne. Her chin lifted with smug smile that curved her lips when she saw me.

Jaxon stood beside her.

He turned sharply. “How did you get out?”

I walked straight to him.

Straight past her.

“I am ending this,” I said.

The room went quiet for a moment.

Jaxon laughed darkly. “Ending what?”

“Our bond,” I said, my voice shaking but clear. “I will not be tied to a monster who orders his own child to be killed.”

His eyes flashed red.

“Never,” he snarled, “call that bastard my child again.”

My heart clenched, but I did not look away.

“He is innocent,” I said. “And for that alone, you are no Alpha to me.”

Jaxon turned to the guards. “Who let her leave her room?”

No one spoke.

He stepped closer to me.

“You are weak,” he said. “You are wolfless. You think you can break a bond like this?”

Kristina smiled. “It could kill you,” she added sweetly.

I nodded slowly.

“Then let it,” I said. “Death is better than being yours.”

Jaxon froze.

“You do not mean that,” he said.

I took a deep breath.

“I do.”

The bond between us pulsed, heavy and hot in my chest. It begged me to submit. To bow. To stay.

I pushed against it.

“I, Laura,” I said, my voice loud in the throne room, “reject you, Alpha Jaxon.”

The pain exploded.

I screamed as it tore through my body like fire. Blood filled my mouth. I fell to my knees, holding my chest tightly.

Jaxon roared in pain too, stumbling back, blood running from his nose.

The bond snapped.

The force threw us apart.

The room spun. My ears rang and my vision blurred.

Jaxon straightened slowly, breathing hard.

“You have made the biggest mistake of your life,” he said coldly.

I pushed myself up.

My legs barely held me.

But the pain of losing my child was stronger than any bond.

I turned.

And I ran out of the pack house.

I did not know where I was going.

I only knew I could not stay.

Behind me, chaos erupted.

“Stop her!” “Catch her!”

My heart pounded as I ran through the halls, tears rolling down my face, my body screaming in protest.

“I’m coming, my son,” I whispered. “Hold on.”

I didn't have a reason to live anymore, I couldn't return back to my pack as my father literally disowned me. I had no where else to run to, but to go visit my son where ever he was in the spirit world.

I was too weak to run, looking back to see guards who literally transformed to wolves, chasing me like they would die if they came back empty handed.

everyone's eyes where on me, but I finally found my way into the woods, hiding on a large tree for a while till the guards where out of site.

my thoughts drifted back to how I met Jaxon, how he looked so perfect back then, treating me like the most precious thing in the world.

I was never a type that wanted to rule, I always wanted to have a perfect life, a mate, a child and me. just the three of us, I always prayed my fated mate would be a normal man, not an alpha, not a beta or a gamma.

but all my dreams crumbed after the news of my brothers death broke in my pack. my father told me I had responsibility now. telling me that I was the next in line as my brother passed away in the hands of the Raven claw pack in a war between their pack and mine.

everything felt way too much, my father planning a ball, telling me an alpha needs a mate beside her, a mate to rule with. I didn't want a choose mate because I knew if I one day find my fated mate, I'll be pained.

with that I ran out of my pack, running into the woods to feel free, away from responsibility and away from my dad and his numerous questions.

playing by the river, I felt watched. I stood asking whoever was there to walk right out, only to see him.... Jaxon... my fated mate. we both felt the bond instantly, and he looked just perfect.

we spent hours in the woods, playing, exchanging contacts and chatting till he introduced himself, telling me he was the alpha of Moon reign pack. a pack known for peace and not power. I realized I was more powerful than him, and it would ruin things as no man would want a more powerful Luna.

he asked me about my pack, I instantly avoided it, telling him we'll meet here tomorrow as I had a few things I left undone. I ran before he could utter another word for stop me.

Running back to my packhouse, I see everyone staring at me like I just rose from the dead.

I ran to Astra's room, my step sister who behaved like my blood sister. she was older than me, and always gave me advices that most times helped me.

I told her about Jaxon and she told me to seal my wolf and become wolfless for my mate and my perfect life, or I reject my mate, returning back to the pack and rulling it like an alpha.

I choose my mate over my pack, texting and telling him I'll meet him same place tomorrow.

I went straight to the pristress, begging her to seal my wolf. she warned me of the consequences of sealing my wolf for a long time but I ignored it, believing my wolf won't be of any use once I'm with my mate.

she helped me seal my wolf and in the middle of the night, I left the packhouse, running through the streets till I entered the woods. I knew it wasn't safe for me, but I believed I was doing it all for my mate.

the next day came in a flash, I met him again, telling him I was born wolfless and I didn't have a pack. I was trained in an orphanage and didn't know where I hale from. he took me in, taking me to his pack and introducing me as his Luna.

I already knew my father would find out about me, he never called or texted but astra told me he disowned me and made her alpha queen. I didn't have a problem because I was enjoying my perfect life with my mate.

his pack never really liked me because they found me weak all because I was wolfless but a few loved me.

I became pregnant with his pup in no time, only for me to give birth to it and it didn't even survive a day in this cruel world.
