All Chapters of The Fractured Luna:Claimed by the Alpha King. : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Alpha King Alexander. "She has no wolf, after all." The doctor said, his voice neutral, yet a bit of emotion showed on his face, highlighted by his slightly furrowed brows. " What does that even mean? I scented her. That would be impossible without a wolf." I protested, my voice laced with denial. " While that's right, there are special scenarios where one's wolf is still alive. They can communicate, they can send and receive mindlinks, but their wolf can't simply surface. In a popular term, they can't shift. That's probably her case." He explained. After years of knowing him, I had seen him delivering heart-shattering news with a straight and clinically blank face, and yet, for the first time, he was rattled, wearing an expression, that closely resembled pity. " With the gravity of her injuries, she might take a little longer to recover. But she will survive." His words were like a fleeting whisper, distant and inaudible and I only reacted, when he patted me on my shoulder.

Alina. I never knew what being in hell actually felt like, but I always had an idea. They used to tell us scary stories about hell when we were growing up, after all. Well, I felt cheated. Those stories were as misguided as f*ck. Because the real hell was a lot hotter than those stories narrated. Real hell was suffocating. I felt like my whole body was on fire. A fire that burnt all the way to the very bones. I felt as if a very heavy weight was placed over my chest, and I couldn't breathe at all. When I tried moving, I couldn't. It almost felt like my very damn bones were broken. What did I expect? 'Welcome to hell..' My brain echoed, and I was surprised that at least one part of my body was functioning. That felt like an oasis in the Sahara. I tried linking my wolf, over and over, and just like I feared, she was unreachable. Just very perfect! My surroundings were pitch dark, with a wind of gloom hovering over the surface. Everything was hopeless and stifling. Th

Alina. "Is that how badly you want to go back to your Alpha, Asher?" He snapped, raw anger boiling in his eyes, but in the next second, his features softened. He looked like a person who had spoken out of anger, said something he never intended to say, and now he was regretting it. He was Alpha King Alexander. I never knew he had such a side. Well, the words were already out, and the blade still landed, intentional or not. For a moment, I froze in place, trying to process his words. First, he actually investigated me while I was unconscious. The realisation had a pang of pain gripping my heart. But what did I expect? I was a stranger. I had just wandered inside the palace, turned to be his fated mate. Other than investigating me, what else was he supposed to do? Well, the move was intrusive, but necessary, if we were being practical. As for going back to Asher? My heart latched just from hearing his name. I would go back, if only to kill him. "Yes. I can't wait to go bac

Third Person. In the Red Moon pack, the pack house was bustling with activities. Excitement hung in the air as the event planners and pack omegas moved up and down, arranging everything, from the windows to the flowers, tables, chairs and down to the very lighting. It had to be perfect. It was a significant day for the pack. After the marking and mating night, the official Luna crowning ceremony was supposed to happen after five days. As per tradition, neighbouring packs who were on friendly terms with the pack were also invited. And the pack doors were already open, ready for the visitors. Compared to the light mood that engulfed the entire pack, though, things weren't so calm on Asher's side. He was in his office, reviewing the weekly reports, a deep frown set on his lips. He wasn't as settled as he was portraying. "Did she come back?" He asked, not lifting his head from the report he was going through. "No, Alpha. She hasn't." His gamma, who stood a few steps awa

Alina "I never asked you to cure me." He declared, and I clenched my fingers tightly. He was right, but it didn't make anything easier. "I only asked you to stay.." He added, and at his words, my heart skipped a beat. That stupid, treacherous organ! "Because you are my mate." He added, his voice softening, as if he wanted that to sink into my head. My heart.. Mates... Those were two things I couldn't rely on. I'd probably be dead before I allowed the mate bonds and something called love to control my destiny again. The last time I trusted my heart, I ended up almost losing my life, not to mention being homeless. And mates? Well, I didn't want to repeat the sob story at this point, the humiliation, the hurt, the betrayal; it was like a nightmare I didn't want to relive. "I understand..." Alpha King Alexander started talking, but he didn't get to finish. Just then, the door was pushed open and his father, the former Alpha King, walked in. "Can I have a word
