Semua Bab The Fractured Luna:Claimed by the Alpha King. : Bab 1 - Bab 10

Alina"Do you think he will be smitten?" Anxiety contoured my face as I turned to my best friend, once again asking the very question I had been asking for the last two hours. In response, she only pursed her lips, worried. We were outside the pack's outer gates, not just me and my friend, but the entire pack.It was a big day for the pack. A day that the Alpha officially recognised his fated mate and marked her under the rising moon, and under the approving gazes of the pack members and pack elders. It was tradition.It was sacred.Around me, the air was warm and celebratory, but within, anxiety pulsed with my very heartbeat, making it hard to stay put."Damn nerves!" I muttered under my breath as I turned to Willow once again, about to ask her the same question, but this time with a slight tweak, just to break the monotony...like, Do you think Asher will like the way I look?Well, I didn’t get to ask."Shhhh." She placed her finger on my lips as she hushed."And for the hundred an

AlinaA bitter and pathetic laugh tore past my lips as I watched his familiar hand zip the tent’s door, and the action felt like a final nail, perfectly sealing my fate.I was still on my knees, thank heavens. If I had been standing, I would have still found myself on the ground either way.I didn’t trust my legs to hold my weight after watching my mate—my Alpha—walk into the mating tent with another woman.For a few seconds, the world around me faded. I heard and felt nothing. I was still in shock, struggling to process everything, my reality.It was unbelievable, wasn’t it? One second, I was so high, I could practically touch the skies, and in the next, I was on my knees, watching everything I had worked so hard for burn to ashes.It bordered somewhere between reality and a nightmare.A nightmare, actually.And yet, the sight of the slightly visible silhouettes, highlighted through the semi-transparent glass tent, slapped my senses back.They were undressing. I could see their figur

Alina. I didn't know grief could swallow time, now I do because mine definitely did. Apparently, from midnight, six hours had elapsed. It was around six in the morning when I finally emerged from the house. My hands trembled slightly when I closed the door, and the click sounded like a final nail in a coffin, totally sealing my fate. After six hours of crying, my voice was nearly lost, and my eyes were so swollen I could barely see.Surprisingly, at that point, I felt no pain in.. just a numbness that gripped even tighter than an actual blow. My fingers tightened around the straps of my bag as I took the stairs to the porch, desperate to leave, anywhere was fine, just not here. Who would have thought that the place I had once thought would be my home forever, would one day feel like hell? " Where are you going?" Right before I could take another step, just a few meters from the main exit, a very familiar voice cut through, and I froze in place..If it were before, a few hours a

Alina."You have nowhere to go! Where could you possibly go?" Those words echoed in my mind like a gently whispered curse, even on repeat, the burn was still there, and so was the sting.When I crossed the threshold and went off to the pack garden, a deep exhale escaped, and so did a string of tears.I had cried for hours. I thought I had run short of those salty, watery fluids, but no. When I created distance between me and the pack villa, as I approached the pack’s inner gate, with Asher's words still echoing in my mind like an annoying fly I couldn't shoo away, more tears fell, hotter this time.He was right, though. I had nowhere to go, and the realisation had my chest constricting with pain.I had lived for nearly two decades in Red Moon pack, and all that time, I never foresaw a day when I would leave. I had never thought of an exit plan, either. And yet, here I was, accompanied by an aching heart, burning tears, and a duffel bag, as I paid my final respects to the only home I h

Alina.I had just stepped into the clearing, my whole body throbbing with pain, my skin covered with fresh wounds and scratch marks, but at the sight of the light- a symbol of safety- a small, stiff smile formed on my lips.'Cheers to us, Amy! We did it!' I linked my wolf, my words cheerful yet with a hint of sarcasm, on the edges.Well, I didn't mean to be sarcastic. It wasn't intentional, but I just couldn't help it. I used to stand at battle fronts, barely eighteen, fighting and winning battles for the Red Moon pack. And yet, I was reduced to this... celebrating mere survival. Honestly, my current state was humbling."There seems to be company. Watch out, Alina. ' Ignoring my earlier words, my wolf informed, sounding alarmed, and before I could even react, something sharp shot towards me, and I only managed to escape by inches when I ducked to the right side.The impact left my left ear with a slight cut, and the smell of fresh blood permeated the air.'F*ck!' I cursed under my bre
