Semua Bab The Luna Games: Bab 11 - Bab 20

{Alpha Harvey}"You're being pretty quiet. Are you nervous about the games?" Amari asked me at dinner."Very," I replied curtly. I wasn't nervous about the games until Alexus's little confession in the garden. I've been a nervous wreck ever since she announced her intention to enter the games. She wouldn't enter it, would she?I thought about telling Alexander and Amari several times throughout the day, but every time I came close to opening my mouth, I clamped it shut, worried they'd get the wrong impression. I didn't want them to become suspicious of me and believe my relationship with Alexus was anything but pure. I would hate for them to think I led her on or encouraged her to join in any way. They already hate me enough for activating the Luna Games this year, and if something happened to Alexus, then it would be all my fault. We would lose Alexus, and I would lose the pseudo-family I built with the Beaumonts. I concluded that Alexus was a bright girl, speaking out of anger. No w

{Alpha Harvey}I sat on a throne on the platform, waiting for the Luna Games opening ceremony to begin. I nervously drummed my fingers on the arm of the chair, keeping an eye out for Alexus, just in case she decided to be stupid. I called her several times, but she never answered. I called both Alexander and Amari, but was sent to voicemail. All I could do was pray. "It's almost time for your speech," Beta Ryan whispered in my ear."This feels like a huge mistake," I whispered to my most trusted advisor."Yeah, most likely, but it's too late to turn back now. Knock 'em dead. Wait...maybe that wasn't the best thing to say," he replied after receiving a harsh glare from me.At that moment, Alexander and Amari climbed the stage."Alex! Alex! Alex!" I whispered, trying to get his attention. He swiftly ignored me and took a stand in front of the podium."Good evening, everyone. For those who don't know me, I am Alpha Alexander Beaumont, the leader of the Artemis Pack. I wish I could say i

{Alpha Noah Harvey}"Shit!" I yelled as I paced up and down the platform, running my hands through my hair. "She wasn't supposed to be here," I said a little louder than I anticipated."What do you mean she wasn't supposed to be here? Why is our daughter here?!" Alexander snarled, grabbing me by the lapels of my suit."I tried to warn you, but you wouldn't speak to me.""Warn me about what?""Alexus's intentions to participate in the Luna Games." Alexander reared back and punched me in the face so hard that I almost lost consciousness."Fuck you! You didn't try hard enough! My daughter can die out there! How did this happen?" he yelled."We were talking in the garden, and Alexus confessed her love for me. I told her I didn't return her feelings. She then threatened to join the games.""She confessed her love for you?" Alexander asked in disbelief."Yes...there's something I have to tell you.""I swear to God if you put your hands on my daughter, the Luna Games will be deactivated becau

[Alpha Noah Harvey]The adrenaline in my system traveled through my body at the speed of light as I made my way to the clinic. I knew I was the last person Alpha Beaumont wanted to see, but time was of the essence. Alexus could be engaged in combat as I spoke. While I was disappointed in the Council's decision, I went into it knowing my requests would not be honored. I was at least grateful they were allowing a retrieval."Alpha Harvey, you can't go in there," a young wolf said while gently blocking the entrance to the clinic."Listen, I know you're just doing your job, but it's imperative that I see the Alpha. It's about his daughter.""Is Alexus in danger?""I'm fairly certain. You have to let me in. I won't disturb the Luna.""You're gonna make me lose my job and be exiled from the pack," the wolf drawled, permitting me to enter."Thanks, young man. May the Moon Goddess look down on you with favor.""I'll need it after Alpha Beaumont finishes tearing me apart. Don't make me regret

{Alexus}I was crying by the time we made it to a suitable hiding spot. The screaming and cries from the participants were non-stop. If I had to guess, half the women had already met their maker. The things I saw would haunt me for the rest of my life, and if Noah weren't my mate, I would be the first to say he wasn't worth it.I now understand why my mother was so distraught over the games. No one could understand the devastation in the woods. The spectators, along with anxious family members and friends, didn't see how the weak were preyed upon, to be picked off one by one. I witnessed a trio of women corner and attack a fearful omega who cowered against a large evergreen tree. I wanted to shout for her to surrender, but I was afraid of drawing attention to myself.While I was looking for safety, I kept my eyes out for Tori and Tara. A part of me was relieved when I didn't see them in the middle of the mayhem, but another part of me was fearful they were already taken out of the game
