Luna On The Run!

Alpha Gorgio’s POINT OF VIEW

The journey to Midnight Moon can’t go fast enough.

As soon as this is over, I will search for my Luna, my heart aches at the thought of her being alone and weak somewhere. Once I’ve taken care of Midnight Moon, she’ll know she doesn’t have to hide anymore. She can turn her phone back on and call me. Alpha Zane is the obstacle I will soon remove.

We land near the gates of Midnight Moon. I jump out and walk with great strides towards the waiting warrior. His face is grim as if he’s been expecting me.

“Warrior. Your Alpha has three minutes to show up. After that, it will be war. I will wipe you off the face of the earth”.

“Alpha Gorgio, we know you are looking for the Luna. But she is no longer here, she must be in the Human Town. There is no need for war,” he dared to answer me. I bare my fangs, a simple warrior daring to contradict me is unheard of.

“Warrior, don’t get on my nerves. Get your Alpha, I have nothing to explain to you”.

“Gorgio, were you looking for me? The Warrior has already explained to you that you won’t find Ariel here. You must be in Human Town”. Alpha Zane makes his move.

Before he knows what’s coming, I run towards him and grab him by the throat. Fangs protruding from my lips, my eyes blazing.

“How dare you put a choke around my Luna’s neck? Was she a prisoner of this pack? I don’t recall that being part of the agreement we made with the Council,” I growl in his face.

“But we also had an agreement that Ariel would stay with me for three months. And you lured her out of my pack and waited for her at the border. How about that?” he snarls back, showing his fangs as well.

My claws shoot out and Xander shifts halfway, ready to rip this scum’s head off.

“Alpha Gorgio. Stand down. That’s an order.” An authoritative voice comes from behind us. We instantly freeze and slowly turn around. In front of us stands King Jasper, his face does not bode well. His Lycan emerges, his skin already covered in fur. His fingers grow into sharp nails, while his eyes glow like coals. The King of Werewolves is clearly not happy with what he sees.

“Alpha Gorgio, am I to understand that you are ready for war? Do you no longer recognize the authority of the Council?” he demands of me, his eyes fixed on me. Uncomfortably, I return to my full human form, not wanting to irritate the King any further. I’m not exactly in good standing with him right now.

“I do acknowledge the Council, Your Majesty, and that is why I have informed the Alpha King of my intention to destroy this pack completely. I can never accept the way the Alpha has treated my Luna,” I explain confidently.

King Jasper turns to Zane. “Alpha Zane, I saw the band with my own eyes. And Ariel told me that you ordered it to be put on her when she was about to leave. That is an offense, the Were-laws forbid restraining another wolf. The only exception is when the wolf becomes wild and uncontrollable. That is forbidden, even for rogues.”

I snort in disgust, this stupid Alpha doesn’t even know his own limits. And I have no intention of letting him go.

“I demand revenge. My Luna cannot be treated like this. And if she was hospitalized, her wolf could not help her heal. Alpha Zane’s actions are irresponsible and threaten my Luna’s life. I will finish him off today.”

I can’t hold back my rage.

“My king. It was an act of love. Ariel is my Luna too, and she was about to leave me. There was little I could do to keep her with me, Gorgio was waiting for her on the other side. He is the one who has not kept his side of the bargain and has pushed me to the limit”. He looks at me menacingly, ignoring the fact that his life is hanging by a thread. Had the King not arrived on time, he would have been dead meat by now.

“Like two little boys fighting over the most popular girl in class,” the Lycan bites at us angrily. “What exactly do you want? I am not in a position to change the decisions of the Moon Goddess. But I can ask you to settle this civilly. If Ariel wants to leave, you are not the one to stop her. You could simply complain to the Council again about unfulfilled agreements”.

I look at the Alpha triumphantly. A simple fact that he couldn’t even think of, this idiot.

“Not only that, my King. Ariel remained under his raid. As an Alpha with heightened senses, he should have noticed that she was pregnant. Alpha Zane, by placing the choker on my daughters, has put not only them but my unborn grandchild, in grave danger. This is unacceptable.”

A new high authority approached, my father-in-law and President of the Council.

With folded hands, I wait for these two highest authorities of the werewolf species to confirm my arguments to rid us of the presence of Midnight Moon and the Alpha. Xander and I are ready to finish the job. Alpha Zane is brainless, he has played into my hands perfectly.

“It seems I am not the only one who disputes the necessity of this Alpha’s existence. Every werewolf is responsible for the welfare of others. But this one has chosen to endanger a she-wolf out of selfishness. I’ll destroy her.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

I wave to my warriors as they prepare to enter Midnight Moon. Burn everything on the pack land, is the order. The members can find shelter in another pack. I know Ariel will agree. Killing hundreds of wolves, as I planned in my first rage, is not really her thing. And I would also turn the king against me.

“Gorgio, I’m with you. But the Beta must show up first. I’ll take him with me, he’s my mate”. With raised brows, I turn to Alexis. And just then the Beta arrives, probably alerted by the Midnight Moon warriors who saw their end coming.

‘MATE! MINE!’ it sounds beside me.

And Alexis falls around the Beta’s neck…
