Lahat ng Kabanata ng Bound by the Moon, Rejected by the Alpha : Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Lila's POV I stayed with my mom for over an hour before Brian convinced me to take a rest. He saw how pale my face had become, but he didn’t know there was a reason why I had that expression. My body’s temperature was weird, so he concluded I might be coming down with a fever or other type of sickness due to stress. I didn’t see Dominic when I left the room, so I headed for the pack house, where I met Judith and Jonathan. “Lila, are you okay?” Judith rushed towards me, holding my arm before letting it go in a rush. “Why are you cold and sweaty at the same time?” She asked, her eyes held onto confusion for a while. I didn’t respond. “Lila, is everything fine, and where’s Dominic?” Jonathan asked, placing his hands on his waist. He narrowed his eyes on me as if he were trying to see if there was something wrong with me. “I’m not feeling entitled or anything, but don’t you think you are doing a bad job at watching over the elemental?” I asked Judith, air-quoting the elemental. My eye

Morgana’s POV “I can’t believe she managed to use her powers!” He seethed, his chest falling and rising heavily in anger. “I should have ended Dominic, I should have gotten the girl, but…. argh!” He smashed the closest jar to him, his ears were red due to the anger that was seeping through him. I took a few steps further away from him, I didn’t want to be an object of his anger achievement. “Alpha, be calm. Let’s think of what to do next. We can’t just accept defeat like this.” I said, hoping he’d listen to me this time since the kidnap plan wasn’t my idea. And I was glad it wasn’t. Because he’d have taken out his loss on me. “What do you suggest we do Morgana? And I hope you have a reasonable thing to say because all along, your idea has been failing.” He said, his voice loud and bitter as he pointed an accusing finger at me. “As you were already told, she has witch blood running through her. And that’s what is preventing her powers from working. So, I need to know now, what was

Lila's POV “We can’t do that to her, it’s not her fault to begin with,” Brian said, standing up to defend me. His actions melted my heart. I wanted to thank him for standing up for me at that spot, but I already decided the night before that I would never again show my vulnerability in front of them. “It’s fine Brian. I think it’s a bit inappropriate that I stay here while you discuss what to do about me. So, I will take my leave first—I need to go see my mother.” I said and headed for the door without waiting for their response. I began to think about what my fate would be—if I got killed because of my dark powers, would anyone in the world outside help me investigate my death and reveal this cruel world to the rest of the world? My mother was dying, so telling her about the whole saga was out of it, I felt so lonely and dejected. I thought when I finally grew up and started making money, I’d be able to get rid of that feeling—that thing that has stuck with me ever since I was a

Dominic’s POVI rushed down to the dungeon where we kept rogues or hardened criminals accompanied by Jonathan, Brian, and Judith. I asked Judith to stay back, but she insisted on going with us so she could confirm whether it was indeed witchcraft or something else. “Alpha!” Everyone greeted me simultaneously as I reached the dungeon. It was the smell of blood that hit my nostrils at first. The fact that we haven’t had many hostages kept in there in the past few months showed that the men I kept there the day before were indeed dead. “Where are they?” I asked the guard in charge of the dungeon. He bowed and pointed his hand towards the fifth cell by my right. I nodded and headed straight for the sight. I was physically prepared for the sight, but I probably wasn’t mentally prepared. Brian covered his nose with his hand immediately when we stepped in. They were ten in number and eight of them were lying lifelessly on the floor. We hadn’t even tortured them for days and they were dea

Alpha Victor’s POVI arranged for a few men to go with me as I visited Blackwood Pack. Alpha Dominic had always proposed several business deals, but I refused because, unlike other packs, I didn’t want my pack to be subjected to his authority. Call it an inferiority complex or anything, but I felt that it was the best way I could protect my pack. A business deal I had recently, fell through and that was because I wasn’t in alliance with the Blackwood, I had to admit that I underestimated Alpha Dominic’s influence. After what happened in my pack twenty-five years ago, I became the Alpha even though I had no Alpha blood. All packs neglected my pack and insisted we joined another pack so we could be under an Alpha, the issue dragged on until Dominic became the Alpha at sixteen. He was the one who eventually requested that my pack be left alone on the condition that I had to marry an Alpha blood so we could produce an Alpha that would eventually lead the pack. So, I married one, and
