Lena's POV
"What is your name?" I asked the lady who had just saved me.She smiled and held my delicate hands gently."My name is Lillian. And you?" She inquired as she led my way."My name is Lena," I replied and sulked, feeling so sad as I darted my gaze back to where my dead mother's body lay, which increased the pain in my heart.The scene of those men hitting her brutally made my heart heavy with pain, so I quickly looked away."I'm sorry for the loss. I came late. You have to calm down and get over it because you will grow to become more powerful than anyone. You will do more than fire fireballs. " She soothed before shifting into her big brown wolf so easily that I was left in awe, admiring it, as I can't shift yet. I've heard it's painful at the beginning, so seeing her do it so easily amazed me.I climbed to her back right away, she took off like a gust of wind, and I had to grab her furs to keep myself from falling.I enjoyed the cool breeze slapping my face. I loved how the trees waved past us. The sweet scent of the flowers and woods around the forest was great and made me smile. But just then, something flashed through my mind, leaving me confused as I clung to the soft and soothing fur.How was I able to bring down those men with those fireballs only after I smelled that sweet and intoxicating scent of sandalwood? It was a scent from someone as I also heard the footsteps even when they were faint and distant.Who was that? And why does the smell of his body trigger my powers?Lillian's POVThe pains were getting intense, and I felt like breaking down, but I kept moving. I kept striding forward, tightening my jaw to bear and hold back the anguish and torment I was feeling from the inner wounds I got while fighting those men.The girl on my back was becoming too weighty for me to carry because I was becoming so weak. At some point, I thought I'd die, but then I was already close to the pack, so I just needed to get to the clear view of the guards outside the gate.My real name is Lynn, but I changed it to Lillian. I'm the Luna of the Blue Moon Pack, one of the most powerful packs in North America. Since we had gotten a larger number of strong warriors, we were feared and not a single neighboring pack had dared to cause trouble with us.We were the head pack among the five packs in North America, but that doesn't mean we are anywhere close to the Red Moon Pack.Alpha Xavier is the leader of the Red Moon Pack. He is a man to whom everyone bows at his feet and does whatever he says because of his hybrid powers, which he uses to intimidate others. He is the head of the Eastern American Packs and also the most powerful pack in America.You wonder how and why I came to rescue the young girl on my back?That is simply because Lena is the only one that can kill Xavier.Alpha Xavier killed my parents and ordered the Alpha of my former pack to banish me and make me a rogue,I don't know the wrong my parents did to him to deserve such a brutal death. Xavier stabbed them countless times right in front of me and spared my life, but made me a rogue who wandered around, running away from other alphas and striving so hard to get something to eat.I was lucky to finally meet my mate in the Blue Moon pack, where I later became his Luna. As he was the Alpha, I had changed my name to escape being found by Xavier ever again in my life.The witch had told me about Lena's powers, and she gave me a ring which would help me locate her. According to her, it was going to glitter once I got close to her, and with the flicking light, I would locate her.I had thought it was something that would be easy, but I was mistaken.For so many years, I had searched every nook and cranny and visited many packs, staring and waiting for the ring to glitter, which it never did. At some point, I was doubtful about everything the witch had said.I went back to ask her how I'd get the so-called girl only to find out the witch was dead already. There and then, I accepted that all hope was lost.The pain of seeing the man who killed my parents enjoying his life was like an endless torture. For days and nights, my heart bled, and I couldn't get over the rage. My blood was boiling for revenge, but then there was just nothing I could do.Finally, today, so unexpectedly and shockingly, I noticed the ring glitter while enjoying the cool breeze inside the forest.It was like a dream, like an illusion, but then the light became brighter.Words can't explain how my heart flipped for joy. I couldn't even tell when I squeaked, jumping up to my feet.Without wasting time, I had sent my maids and guards off, claiming I needed to be alone. They had left without hesitation while I sped over to the location where the ring had directed me to, and there I saw the young girl at the point of death.To avenge the deaths of my parents, I needed to save her since she is the only one who can defeat Xavier. I cared less about my life. Saving her was more important. That was why I fought those hefty men.The witch had made me aware that the young girl had higher powers and hybrid combinations than Xavier, and that meant she was the only one who would be able to defeat him.I had to risk my life to save her, since she was the only hope for me to have the revenge I craved.I got closer to the gate, but then my whole body broke down, and I fell flat on the ground and shifted back to my human form. Blood was spilling out of my mouth. I felt life leaving me as the pain became so excruciating and intense that I couldn't move anymore. All I could hear was the faint scream and cry of Lena.Alpha Xavier's POVI smirked in satisfaction as I watched the man in front of me grunting in agony as the hot blazing rod was placed on his back, searing his skin with blood sizzling out. His wife and two children were all tied to a chair each, gagged as they stared at their tortured father.No one dares challenge me and get away with it; I'm the devil himself, the most powerful. This man tried running away from this pack with his family. The punishment for that is always death."Dad, why don't you just let me skin him alive instead!" My son, Xander, who seemed to have been lost in thought all this time, finally spoke out with a frown."Let's enjoy the scene." I winked, but he shrugged and looked away with a snort.I loved how gruesome his face looked. I admired his ruthlessness, and it was my greatest joy to know that I had succeeded in making my son as powerful and feared as I was. He is even more heartless than I am, and it makes me smile all day.I looked around and saw the inhabitants of the Royal Pack house shivering and breathing heavily as they saw what was going on.It made me happy because I enjoy it when everyone fears me to the bone marrow and I enjoy inflicting pain because that is the only way my strength can be known."Kill yourself!" I ordered the man, who already had bruises and deep bleeding wounds all over his back. He tried to strangle himself at my order, but I shook my head in disapproval."Dig out your heart instead. Dig it out and eat it!" I huffed, and could see his eyes flicker in shock, but he had no power to decline as he was being controlled by my dark magic spell.Right there, he pierced his sharp wolf claws into his chest, howling in extreme pain as he tore open his chest, reaching out to his heart, but couldn't go further before falling dead instantly. "Clean this place!" I ordered with a wave of my hand and the slaves ran in with their cleaning materials.My name is Xavier, and I am the Alpha of the Red Moon Pack, the greatest pack of all. No one dares me because it would cost their entire pack. My pack was above every other pack in America because I was their leader, but I'm getting old by the day.I sighed but smiled as I saw my son. He was sitting right beside me with those grim and scary faces just like me. Seeing him that way gives me joy. I was getting weak from old age, but I'm not afraid of any attack from my enemies because I know how strong my son is.He kills with no retraining. Everyone fears him, not just because of me but because of how cruel he is. I'm so happy to raise him this way. There is no doubt my pack would never be defeated.I have no Beta or Luna because I didn't need one. I succeeded as an Alpha after defeating the last Alpha in a battle. The dead Alpha must really regret the day he accepted my duel challenge for the throne. He never expected me to be able to kill him and take over the throne. I wouldn't have been able to do that if I wasn't a hybrid. My son is also a hybrid, and till date, not one of us can tell anything about our past or how we grew to have such powers."Is it normal to feel hurt seeing a girl crying?" I suddenly heard my son ask and turned to him sharply."What did you just say?" I shot at him in shock."I saw a girl today being attacked by some masked men. She looked terribly hurt, even though I couldn't see her face. I felt a little pity, and even though it was a far distance, I still know how she smells." He explained with furrowed brows and enthusiasm."She is an enemy. A witch who wants to lure you with charm and get you captured. Next time you feel that way towards any girl, don't hesitate to end her life!" As the thought of "mate" flashed through my mind, I growled those words with a heavy breath and anger. I can never let him get weakened by any girl. When the hell did he start feeling pity? There must be something about this girl he is talking about. Was she the one that had been taking over his mind all day?Lena's POV."Please... please... I didn't hurt her, she fought and saved me." I explained as I was brought into the palace, chained like a murderer, after the Luna had been taken away to be treated in the clinic. They all scowled at me with their eyes showing how much they already hated me.My lips were quivering, with my voice breaking as I stood in front of the angry Alpha and his son."Well, there is no need to listen to you. I'll wait until my Luna wakes up, then she will tell me all that happened. I swear to kill you if you ever cause her to be that way!" The Alpha growled and stood up."Lock her up!" He commanded, before walking away.I was about to sigh in relief as I wasn't tortured as I thought, but my breath seized as the Alpha son marched forward to me. His tall muscular body gives me chills. Those dark green eyes exuded pure resentment and disgust while he peered at my face. He looked handsome, but was like a devil in front of my eyes at this moment."What is your name?" He
My heart thudded harder in my chest. I felt so happy. The fear of losing my mother left me, and I couldn't wait to see her. I badly wanted to hear her sweet voice and see her smile sweetly. It was so sad for me when I met her unconscious on the bed, and knowing it was the strange girl named Lena that caused it, I only wanted her death.In a few seconds, I was already inside the room."Mum!" I squeaked like a child, running into her arms, careful not to hurt her as she forced out a smile. My eyes got wet as I felt how thin she had become. Her body was also hot..."Mum, why? Why would you let that little girl cause you this? You should have called me, raised the alarm, and we would have come to your rescue if she had used much demon power!" I whined, peering into her eyes.My words made her frown deeply. She glanced at Dad, then at me."What are you saying?" She asked, confusedly."You know what I'm saying? You were very healthy and hearty when I left for school this morning. I came back
Hutton's POVMy eyes fluttered and finally opened, but I shut them back as the rays of the sun radiated in, causing my head to pound. I grunted as I felt too weak to even move my finger. I can't remember how I got to that state. I arched my brow, taking a deep breath, racking my head to remember what had happened. I could feel a deep sadness in my heart, making me wonder, "You are awake?" I heard someone mutter beside me, and I opened my eyes again. There was a maid and a doctor. I stared at them and noticed the streak of tears on the face of the maid. I turned to every other person there, and there was no trace of a smile on their faces. I sat up immediately, even when the doctor tried coaxing me to lie back and rest. My head pounded more, making me hold it in my palm as I grunted, gnashing my teeth. "I'm sorry. How do you feel? Do you feel pain?" The doctor kept asking why I shut my eyes, thinking so hard."What happened to me?" I asked, turning sharply at them. Has he lost his
Hutton's POVThe school bell rang for break time, making me sigh in relief. Finally,I threw another glance at Scarlett, my girlfriend, but she wasn't looking at me and had never looked at me since she came to school. I shifted my gaze to Xander, feeling my anger soar. He was sitting some distance away from others. His desk was large enough to contain two more people, but no one would dare sit beside him or come close to him. My girlfriend had been the person sitting beside me, but now she had already changed to her seat after I failed her. She must have hated me for doing nothing, even after seeing how Xander molested her. The students began to troupe out while I rested my gaze on her, bracing myself to move over and talk to her. I felt ashamed, but I still loved her deeply. Almost half of the class was out, but Xander was sitting on the spot without moving his body. His face was grim and scary as always.My mother is dead and my girlfriend leaving me would break me more. I needed
Hutton's POVI hate myself for that. It hurts to know that there was nothing I could do. "Now leave!" He shrugged and yanked her hair again as he turned to her. "Are you really leaving? You aren't my boyfriend?" The voice of Scarlett broke in like a slap to my cheeks. I had already taken three steps away before she said those words, and It really tore my heart into shreds. "He isn't your boyfriend, he doesn't fucking care about you, so shut your mouth!" Xander growled and slapped her hard.She fell off to the ground, sending rage through me. Xander smirked and threw a glance at me like he was inviting me to a fight.It was like he wanted me to fight him and was hurting her intentionally. "But why are you doing this to her?" I asked under my breath. My voice couldn't sound harsh, it couldn't sound strong. I even found it hard to keep a stern face instead of a fretting one."You have no guts to ask me that. Come take her from me!" He taunted and dragged her from the floor. He pressed
Lena's POV I hissed loudly, hating myself, hating how my life was turning. There was no way I had thought of a day when I would be stuck in a room like a slave, having all these chains. The beating was painful, but I wasn't thinking of that. It was better to be beaten than caged like an animal. I felt more like cow dung."Lena, are we slaves for real?" My little wolf, Elena, mumbled inside me with sadness in her voice, I shrugged and rested my head against the wall. My mind flashed through the past, when life was going fine with the love of my parents. Now it was all gone. I'm no longer the sweet baby, I've turned into a demon hated by everyone. I shut my eyes, sighing deeply. The thought of Lilian the Luna dying broke my heart. Just as painful as that of my parents, the feeling of guilt made tears fall off my eyes. My appearance in her life made her lose hers. I just can't help but wonder who I am to let these people die for me. Not only that, but I don't know how I'll kill Xavie
"Can you defeat...?""Shut up!" I hushed my wolf, who was trying to warn me. Being the Alpha's daughter is an opportunity I should never pass up.I was still trying to brace myself for a fight when something so heavy and hard like steel hit my belly, forcing blood out of my mouth in a spurt. I held my belly as the force pushed me back. I tried forcing myself to stand, but I couldn't. My whole body was on fire from the blow to my stomach,Another blow landed on my face, making me cry out loudly as I fell heavily to the ground.She didn't even give me the chance to bear the pain before rushing at me from the ground where I lay. She kicked my belly so hard that I couldn't breathe well."Please..." I cried out, tears falling profusely from my eyes as I got overwhelmed with intense pain. What was I thinking when I braced up to fight her? "Is this how you will fight and kill Alpha Xavier?" The Alpha yelled, with disappointment filling in his tone. I tried standing up to show I had got so
"Linda decided to be her accomplice and stood by her, so the Alpha gave her the same punishment. You can be a bit merciful to her, but never treat this girl any better! She is evil!" The other man added, gesturing at me. The man sitting there made a nod, and we were pushed to the ground.Stepping out of his chair, walking towards us, the man said with a lopsided smile, "Linda, here you are in my palm.""Stan, please don't harm her, she is innocent," she pleaded. "Really?" He raised his brow and glanced at me. "Yes, please..." She crawled to his feet and kept begging. I couldn't say a word. I was mute, staring at Linda, wondering why she was doing all this. The man glanced at her under his feet, then at me before bursting into a croaky laugh. "When I wanted you, it's over. I have no feelings for you anymore. I will follow the order. Get off me!" He growled and kicked her away. He moved to the side of the room and picked up two shovels."You both should go out there and join the me
