All Chapters of Alpha Kael and his Chosen Luna: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Catriona’s POVI face off against Hela and rock on the balls of my feet. She ordered me to the training mat this morning after waking me unceremoniously and I did not protest because it is a piece of my sister I can have back, a piece of what we used to be before this silent feud. That was before the first round when she unleashed on me like taking me down will solve world hunger. My hands hurt, my back, my legs but I tighten my fist and I’m ready when she attacks again. Not that it makes much difference. “You have to be faster!” She snaps, blocking my punch and throwing a counter that crushes my gut.“I’m trying.” I growl as I roll under another punch and try to sweep her legs from under her. She flips back to safety and before I can fully stand, she is back, unleashing a series of punches that take all my focus to parry. “You are not!” She snarls, beating me back. “You rarely go on the offense and when you do, your attacks are weak and predictable. You need to be more decisive.”

Catriona's POVI am deep in thought when I head back, remembering subtle cues that should have clued me in that something was bizarrely wrong at home. Recently, Vekra had been going on farther and longer missions, likely to seek alliances for our pack. Unlike before, she went with more escorts too and I thought it was because our enemies were getting bolder and hungrier, not that the Redhound Alpha had banded them together. I don't remember much of him but the little that I remember sticks in my brain like unwanted glue. I was little when Dad entertained the Redhound Alpha at our dining table. I don't remember much else except the evening ending in blood, Father carving a bloody line into the alpha's cheek, nearly taking out his eye while Mum snatched me into her arms. Does he hold a vendetta against Dad over that night? Try as I might, I can’t recall the topic of contention. There are over two hundred packs and if he truly managed to unite them, we are in danger and Dad will be the

Catriona's POVThe bear is dead and Alpha Kael’s wolf prowls closer to me, the anger in his eyes making me shiver. “I had that under control.” I say, showing him my dagger. A snarl rips from his throat, startling me. “Okay fine, your help is very much appreciated too.” I add. “But obviously none of this would have happened if you simply let me come with you.”He shifts, prowling towards me in angry strides. “Do you have any idea how close you came to death?!” He snarls, his nails digging into my shoulder. “That was no ordinary bear! It is three times the size of a normal bear and it wouldn’t have stopped until you were dead!”He shakes me, as if that will shake some sense into me and I cry out, clutching my injured shoulder. “You’re hurt.” He says. “Genius observation, Alpha Kael.” I growl and his eyes darken further. “Are you allergic to following simple instructions?!” He growls. “I ordered you to stay inside!”I grin at him, amused at how annoyed he looks. “Remember the fir

Catiorna's POV“Where are you taking me?” I ask as Alpha Kael drags me by the arm later that evening. “You’ll find out.” He replies. “Oh no, I won’t.” I say, digging my heel in and pulling back with all my strength but it’s like trying to resist the force of a mountain. He drags me onward without breaking stride. “Unhand me.” I screech, grabbing onto a doorknob and holding on for dear life. He looks back at me impatiently and growls. “What are you doing? Release that immediately!” He commands and I feel a minute flinch, the instant urge to submit to his alpha aura. I shake it off and hold onto the doorknob for dear life. “You want to try Round Two of a hundred ways to kill me don’t you? Like hell am I going with you.”I hang onto the doorknob for traction, ignoring his warning growl. “I’m going to count to three.” He warns. “Unhand that or I will throw you over my shoulder like a sack of potatoes.”I grit my teeth and hold on for dear life even though his grip on my arm pulls o

Carriona’s POV“Alpha Kael!!! I’ve missed you so much.” Nyra sighs, wrapped around my mate and my hands slowly curl into fists. Everything about this grates, especially the over-familiarity in their tone. Didn’t Peony say that it was basically an arranged marriage? If he was forced into it, why do they look like long-lost lovers? My fingers groan and I see red. “Nyra.” He says her name ever-so-gently, like he’s talking to a delicate flower, a tone I wouldn’t dare dream of him using with me even in my wildest dreams. Oh, isn’t this situation a peach?I clear my throat loudly, pointedly but the sound is lost on her. Her face is still buried in his neck as she hangs on to him tightly. Oh for fuck’s sake!I stomp forward and grab her arm, yanking it off Alpha Kael and she rounds on me with a hiss. I paste a smile on my face and extend a hand. “Hello, I don’t believe we’ve been introduced. I’m-“The sound of the slap echoes first before the pain of it blooms on my cheek. My hand flies
