005 My Luna Hated Me

Willa's POV

"What the hell?!" Jason dashed toward us but stopped fast as he stared at Alpha Kirsch with fear, "Are you fucking with me?!"

"Yes, I would like you to see it that way." Alpha Kirsch let out a short laugh as if heard a funny joke. Jason was furious.

Jason pointed his shaking fingers at Alpha Kirsch: "You deny her to me, you insult me! And you don't want to insult me!"

"I think I just did." Alpha Kirsch sneered with a shrug, his lips curving up, "My pack is the strongest among...well, all the packs that I know of. So what are you gonna do about it?"

The only thing stopping Jason from attacking Alpha Kirsch right now was the fear of a war with such a powerful pack.

"She's still in my pack bond." Jason suppressed his voice, realizing anger was NOT going to get him what he wanted, "According to The Code--"

"Break it." Alpha Kirsch nodded at me.

If I break it, I wouldn't be able to mind link granny! I hesitated but granny mindlinked me right away--

[Break it.]

And she broke it first. No point if I stayed so I broke it too.

Jason growled at the sensation of our breaking out of his mindlink web. Fury burst out of his eyes. His face was now in the color of the liver as he shouted at Alpha Kirsch desperately: "You agreed to the meeting, you agreed to give them to me!"

"I agreed to the meeting, but never to anything else." Alpha Kirsch answered slowly but clearly, "I came only to tell you face to face: You lose your wolves, you lose them. You come to my territory for a fuss, you will lose more."

Jason growled at the plain threat. He growled and shifted in front of Alpha Kirsch, baring his teeth in an attack position.

To all our surprise, Alpha Kirsch didn't even move, let alone shift--

He laughed.

"You can't beat me, Jason. Leave before my patience run out." Alpha Kirsch said with a cold smile.

Jason growled at the burn of humiliation.

He was an Alpha, and his shifting didn't even make Alpha Kirsch flinch.

Jason paced around in anger and growled loudly, but he didn't dare approach. In the end, he just turned and ran away, his wolves following him.

Granny bowed deeply to Alpha Kirsch, and I tried to mimic, too, but he still had my wrist in his hand, held in front of chest. My ears were hot at the fact that I kicked and cursed him when he helped me nonetheless, and apparently, he noticed that as well--

"Not so fierce now, huh?" He glanced at his wounded hand before he fixed his eyes on me with a taunting smirk, "Tell me your name, little kitten."

"Willa," I murmured with a blush, struggling to get my wrist out of his hand.

He hesitated, but let me go this time.

I dodged his gaze as I rubbed my wrist at the discomfort from his grip. His grip was hard and cold. There were several red marks on my wrists.

"Did I hurt you?" He frowned as he bent a little, trying to search for the answer in my eyes.

"I'm fine." I lowered my eyes, dodging his gaze, "Thanks for saving us..."

The red-haired she-wolf shifted back, snorting. Her naked body was an eye-catcher. I seriously didn't know what was wrong with her, especially how she was not showing respect in front of the Alpha.

Was she the Alpha's mate?!

Granny nudged me on my leg. Though we couldn't mind link anymore, I knew she wanted to make our plea again.

I wasn't sure how I felt about begging the cold Alpha again though. I got enough humiliation earlier. But he saved us. Could that change his rejection?

"I know you don't accept newcomers, but we really need a pack's protection," I took a deep breath, ignoring the red-haired woman's glare as I plead again.

"You can stay." The Alpha nodded as he said simply.

"So it would be great if--" I jerked up my head and shut my mouth halfway into my plea.

Alpha Kirsch laughed, amused by my shocked look.

"Kirsch!" The red-haired woman blurted out, "What are you doing?!"

She didn't address him by the title?! Only mates did that. Maybe she was his mate! That would explain a lot.

"I know what I'm doing." Alpha Kirsch said in a cold tone, didn't even look at the woman.

Now his attitude made it confusing again.

"I don't want to cause trouble between you two..." I glanced at granny, unsure, but I couldn't tell her thoughts anymore.

"You are not causing trouble." Alpha Kirsch reached out as if he wanted to pat me on my head, I flinched by instinct. His hand paused before dropping.

"You mean you changed your mind?" I blinked in confusion. He was so furious at me and was determined to not allow us in. What changed?!

"Yes..." He sighed heavily, folding his arms as he tilted his head at me, this time smiling a little. But there was bitterness at the corner of his lips as if he was regretting saying yes right this second.

"We don't take newcomers for a reason! Let alone a wolfless with an Alpha after her tail!" The red-haired woman stepped up and dragged Alpha Kirsch on the arm.

What reason? Curiosity spout out in me. Now that she mentioned it, it WAS weird. Most packs would want more members, it meant more power.

"I'm still your Alpha." Alpha Kirsch was not pleased, but unlike any Alpha I knew, he just reminded her softly. Whatever their relationship, it was special.

I wanted to join the pack less now. It would be a lot of trouble if I made the luna my enemy on day one.

"What's your problem with her?" Alpha Kirsch turned to look at the angry woman.

"My problem is that her problem is not our problem!" The red-haired woman argued with her hands on her hips, "What's got into you?! It's not like she could be your mate!"

Not that I want to, but why couldn't I?!

I frowned at her words. No alpha would want a wolfless luna. I ran into people like her all the time. But it was still not a pleasure to know one more.

Alpha Kirsch glanced at me, his eyes glazed over. Soon, the woman shifted before she stormed off.

He mind linked her, not wanting us to know what they said.

My heart was pounding fast, afraid to hear his decision. I wouldn't have begged again if the new moon wasn't too close. We didn't have time to search for a new pack, not when Jason was hell-bent on torturing me to death.

"Sorry about that. She's...spoiled." Alpha Kirsch turned to me, bending a little to meet my eyes.

No shit. That was some spoiling even if she WAS his mate.

"So..." I bit my lips in hesitation.

"Like I said, you can stay." Alpha Kirsch rose his hand and paused again. This time he landed his hand on my head stiffly before he dropped it quickly, "Don't worry about Nat, she will come around."

Great, I was entering a pack where my luna hated me.

But my torture wasn't over. I still had my condition. The worst part, the part that would decide whether I could stay.

"I'm not wolfless, I will have my wolf--" I blurted, but granny suddenly nudged me. I shut up, staring at her with confusion.

She didn't want me to mention my condition? I realized we couldn't risk losing his protection now, not when Jason was lurking around.

"How old are you?" Alpha Kirsch asked.

"Two months from turning 18." He misunderstood me, but I didn't say anything else.

"We will do something about it if you shifted in the next two months." Alpha Kirsch smirked. He didn't believe late boomers could be this late, but I couldn't tell him that I had a wolf, not without explaining my condition.

"Why did you change your mind?" I blurted, couldn't get my head around that we just got in.

Alpha Kirsch laughed.

He curved his lips, gazing at me with his emerald eyes. He actually was pretty handsome when he smiled: "Are you trying to convince me out of this decision now?"

Maybe a little. I doubted my stay could be long or pleasant with the luna-to-be hating my ass.

"I told Jason you are under my protection. If you leave and he gets to you, it's damage to my name." Alpha Kirsch shrugged, eyes locked on me. The fury was gone, but still, he stared at me like I was prey.

"Stay in the town and don't wander around." He turned to granny, "Beta Ethan will find you a place to stay temporarily until I get back."

"Temporarily?" I murmured. Was he sending us away soon?

"To rest, Willa." Alpha Kirsch let out a short laugh. He said my name as if he was tasting it, "You will need it for joining the pack bond later."
