Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim Novels & Stories

He asks her. Fire Moon holds up the poster she had brought back from town, “I went out to investigate our Little Alpha.” “He isn't our Little Al.. ." Typhon starts. “Forgive me,” Fire Moon says with a wicked smile, “Your Little Alpha.” I immediately take offense. “I'm not .…” “This is an exceedingly asinine conversation,” Typhon cuts in. “My thoughts exactly,” I mutter. Then I point to the notice about me and say "Look what Fire Moon brought back.”

And there stood— the First Alpha. He wasn't attacking her. He was waiting. “Give it to me,” he said. Luna shook her head. “No.” “You don't understand what it contains.” “I know exactly what it contains.” He stepped closer. “The Moon Seal.” Luna raised the crystal. “No.” Her voice trembled. “The memory of the Moon Queen.” I gasped. The vision shifted again. My mother entered the chamber. She looked at the First Alpha. “You cannot have it.”

“Names hold power in ancient wolf traditions. To be nameless means exile… abandonment… or rebirth.” Kaelen quietly laughed again. Draven narrowed his eyes. “What’s funny?” Kaelen shrugged lazily. “Nothing. Keep going.” Grand Alpha Sylas looked irritated. “The important part is the ending. ‘He will howl not in grief but in victory.’” Draven suddenly looked toward Kaelen. “One thing is obvious though.” Kaelen looked back at him without interest. “You’re never going to be Alpha Supreme,” Draven said coldly. “The moon goddess herself practically confirmed it at this point.”

Alpha Kandor’s body tensed against mine, and his arm tightened around my waist. “That is impossible,” he said. “With all due respect, I know what I smell, Alpha,” Beta Jacob replied. “She is my maid,” Alpha Kandor said, his voice hardening. “I am travelling to the Temple of Selene to receive the Moon Goddess’s blessing for my mating. Whatever you think you detected changes nothing.” His arm began to loosen around my waist, and I felt him deliberately put space between our bodies. Pain struck almost immediately. A sharp cry tore from my throat as the cramps returned with enough force to buckle my knees. Alpha Kandor caught me before I could hit the ground, pulling me firmly against his chest.

After a bit, I looked down and that is when I noticed a note on my desk. “The Alpha of the Crescent Moon pack has gathered over two hundred. They will arrive at the south end of your territory three weeks from today. Be ready. Whatever happens, our hands are tied. I know that we didn’t get off on the right foot, but I trust that you will do everything you can to protect Kyra.

Lifting himself up, he grasped Jenny's elbow in a hold so tight that she curled her toes while he spared his gaze to Lisa. "In point of fact, you can't be anybody else's either coz you are a Moonborn." Holding a raw breath, he said. "Don't do this to me. Please." Her heart wrenching muttering brought no change in his demeanour as Alpha Alan trudged out of the door with his mistress while Lisa broke down on the floor even harder. ~~~ He stopped in Jenny's bedroom. He let her hand go and slumped behind a wall with tears falling out of his eyes.

Then all eyes turned to Mira. Her lips parted. “What do you mean?” The man with the scar took the vial and stood before her, his dark gaze unwavering. “She’s not supposed to be Luna. The Moon Goddess made a mistake replacing the one we lost with that human girl.” He spat the last word like poison. “We all felt it,” the cloaked Alpha said. “The power void. The unease. As if something inside the earth shifted the moment she stepped into the pack.” “I’ve had enough of waiting,” another growled. “Of pretending this is destiny. I don’t trust the bond. I don’t trust the whispers. And I don’t trust that pathetic little substitute.”

My heart pounded against my ribs as I realized that it was a trap . The scarred rogue folded his arms, satisfaction shining in his eyes. “Our Alpha gave us one order.”He took a slow step toward me. “If we ever found you alive…” A cruel smile spread across his face. “…we were to bring you back.”

he said, thinking he had saved his head. The Alpha was visibly not impressed. "The next full moon is in 7 days, you have 7 days to do all the fortifications you need to do, and come to me with an answer" the alpha said angrily and turned his back to the divinator. That was a sign for the divinator to leave the chamber. The divinator hurried out of the Alpha's chambers, once outside, he took a deep breath, recovering from the pressure of the Alpha's authority. "I don't know what that girl is, I have to find out or I might have to pay with my life" he thought to himself.

I manage. He and Lindsey laugh. “I’ve decided to look elsewhere for a luna. Lindsey says she’s happy with you. Who am I to stand in the way?” He smiles though I see some pain behind his mask. I’m sure this decision didn’t come easy. “I’d like us all to be allies and friends.” He holds out the hand that isn’t on my back for me to shake. I take it, and we seal our unexpected pact. “Now I’m starving. What does an alpha have to do to get early service?” Jagger jokes. I must say I might end up liking this guy after all.
