SHOCKING REVELATION

Erica's POV

When my eyes open I feel like my head is being hit by something very hard because of the headache that is ponding so badly. I look around the room and much to my surprise it's not something I have expected after being kidnapped. Yes, I clearly remember that a needle was being stabbed in my neck which made me lost consciousness. But now seeing the luxurious room, I don't know what to feel about the situation and why I am being brought here in the first place.

The room is quite large with a king-size bed frame featuring a rose pink velvet style upholstery, deeply padded tufted buttoned headboard with a chrome metal frame, sturdy wooden legs, and a slatted base. There is a bedside table on the right side, its minty hue and smart matte lacquer finish are complemented by tapered galvanized steel legs and minimalist rounded pull handles. There is a huge Chandelier fitting in chrome finish with a mass of crystal glass drops surrounded by a textured translucent silver fabric shade on the middle of the ceiling. At the feet of the bed, a two-seater sofa that is upholstered in a soft dusty pink colored velvet with oblique wooden legs is situated.

There are long white sheer curtains hang on the windows from and I can tell that there is a balcony attached to this beautiful room. But the nicest part of the room is the reading area which is situated in the right corner of the room with a little bed by the window. It has a cushion and some throw pillows on top of it and a huge bookshelf attached to the wall behind it.

I set my feet down on the plush rug which feels quite good. I know I am sounding like I don't have any care in the world but believe me it's not true. I am really worried about my whereabouts but something about this place is comforting me to the point where I don't feel like I am in a strange place. I look around the beige-colored room in awe as it matches my taste so well that it's quite scary. Everything in this room screams my choice of things, as if it's made for me.

"Finally you are awake." I get startled by the sudden voice so I look at the source of the voice and find a very beautiful as well as well-built woman standing on the doorstep.

"Umm, who are you?" I ask with a gulp.

"My name is Nicole Leigh and the Gamma of this pack." She replies walking inside the room.

"What's this pack name and why am I brought here?" I ask out of curiosity.

"This is the Forbidden Rogue Pack and I am sorry for kidnapping you, Luna Queen." I hold back a gasp when she slightly bows her head.

"Why are you calling me Luna Queen?" I inquire because no one ever called me by this title then why she is doing it.

"You are the Luna Queen of werewolves so that's the correct way to address you." She answers looking at me with confusion.

"Is there any problem?" She asks when I don't say anything for some time.

"Can you please tell me what I am doing here?" I ask politely.

"There are some persons who have asked our Alpha's help to rescue you from the Royal Castle. Although I don't know exactly what they have said to the Alpha, but I can tell you that they are good people. You get fresh and then I will take you downstairs to meet them. Also, I think you need some solid food." She says giving me a gentle smile calming my nerves.

"But I don't have any clothes with me." I voice out.

"About that, you don't have to worry. There is a walk-in closet beside the bathroom and there are enough clothes for you to wear." By saying this, she leaves the room.

Now, I am feeling more confused just thinking about the persons who want to rescue me. Also, the mysterious alpha of this pack and what must be his real motive behind helping the people. I think I have an idea about it, council members have put a bounty on this pack, maybe the Alpha has gotten to know about this matter and that's why he has asked his pack members to kidnap me. Then he can blackmail the council to take back the bounty as the Luna Queen is the most important person after the Alpha King.

Everything is messing with my mind, I think I need to calm down and get fresh. With that thought in mind, I walk inside the bathroom and again it screams luxury. I heave a sigh and decide to take a shower. I cover my hair with a shower cap and then switch on the shower which thankfully pours warm water.

I clean my body with the body gel that I have found on one of the shelves and then thoroughly rinse my body. I wipe the excess water with a towel and wrap another dry towel around my body before going inside what I think is a walk-in closet and believe me when I say, it's a massive place of all types of clothes and other things. My mouth hangs open seeing the amount of branded things are stored up here.

I am scared to even touch anything here, but alas I can't stay wrapped in a towel so with shaky hands I pull out a Nike Crewneck Sweatshirt along with Straight Wide Leg Baggy Jeans to wear. I take off the shower cap and comb my hair detangling the few knots I have. I open the drawers of the vanity table and find my favorite moisturizer inside it along with other necessary things. Whoever designed this room knows well about my choices or how can my favorite things are already in the room.

After applying the moisturizer on the face and a little bit of lip balm on the lips, I decide to go downstairs to meet the persons about whom Nicole was talking about. I walk out of the room and look around the corridors in anticipation not knowing where to go. But I think Audrey knows where to go because she is telling me in my mind what to do.

With her instruction, I take a left first and then go to the right part where I find a long staircase. I walk down the staircase and finally reach the end of it. I can hear voices coming from the corner so I walk further and notice a spacious space which can be called the dining area or the way to the kitchen.

Suddenly, the all too familiar smell of strawberry along with dust comes to my nose and before I know it, I am rushing towards the kitchen to find one of my most favorite people whom I can tell is there. Upon arriving inside the kitchen, I stop dead in my track seeing the small and but strong back of none other than my father.

"Dad." I cry out while he turns around and gives me his famous smile.

"My baby." He lets out opening his arms and I don't delay in accepting his much-needed hug.

"I have missed you so much, Daddy." I say while tears run down my face freely.

"I know baby and I have missed you too." He replies and pulls away from the hug before wiping my tears with the pads of his thumbs.

I look at him closely and am happy to say that he is looking more healthy than ever. There is a glow in his eyes but there are also dark circles under his eyes making me frown in worry. He must have noticed my change in mood so he kisses me on the forehead and makes me sit down on one of the chairs across the kitchen counter.

"Don't worry you're pretty little head much. I will answer every question of yours but first eat this. You are looking way too thin for my liking." He remarks putting a plate full of juicy steak and chicken kebab in front of me.

"But I don't think I can eat this much." I reply seeing the heavy amount of food.

"It's alright sweetie, you can eat as much as you can." He replies with a sad smile.

I pick up the knife and cut a small piece of the steak before putting it inside my mouth with the help of a fork. Instantly tears gather around my eyes when the nostalgic feeling hit me hard. How I have missed my Dad's cooking and his nature of pampering me. But I hold back the tears and continue to eat the dinner.

I can only finish half of the meal before my stomach starts protesting, indicating that I am full. I look in Dad's direction and notice that he is wiping his tears as if trying to hide them from me. I get up from the chair and hug him tightly. After two long years, I am finally seeing him and I have no words to describe the feeling that is growing inside my heart.

"All the love is for Dad only?" I turn around and look at the woman who not only gave birth to me but also taught me the ropes of life.

"Mom." I let out and run straight into her outstretched arms.

"I know I know sweet girl. Shh, stop crying baby." She says rubbing my back gently while I keep crying in her arms.

"I have missed you so much." I tell her the same thing I told Dad.

"Me too, my child. But now that you are here, I am not letting you go anywhere." She replies after I pull away from the hug.

"I think we should go to the living room and tell her everything." Dad remarks in which Mom nods her head.

They both lead me out of the kitchen and towards a very spacious living room which is decorated with modern things. But that's not the point here, I need to know what my parents are doing here and also what with kidnapping me.

"Now, you can ask as many questions as you want." Mom says after we sit down on the couch.

"What are you guys doing here?" I ask looking at them both.

"As you know, no pack is allowed to accept us after the getting order from Catherine. So, we had to take shelter among the humans. But soon we were discovered by some hunters who tried to catch us. Thankfully, the beta of this pack found us on time and took us here." Mom replies making me feel horrible.

"I am sorry, Mom. Just because of me, both of you have to suffer so much." I tell her while hanging my head in shame.

"You haven't done anything wrong, sweetie. The Royals are the one who has been doing injustice and this is not just for the first time. They are abusing the weak ones for a long time." Dad says putting his hand on my shoulder.

"But still, why is the alpha of this pack helping you?" I ask.

"Because he doesn't go by the rules of the Royals." Nicole answers coming there.

"Uncle James, Stella is asking for your help in the nursery. The pups are demanding to hear their bedtime story from you or they won't sleep." She says looking at Dad who shakes his head with a fond smile.

"My Erica was same. It's okay, I will go and tell them bedtime story." Dad says and gets up from the couch before walking in the direction where Nicole came from.

"Who is Stella?" I ask no one in particular.

"Stella is my mate and also one of the healers of the pack." Nicole replies taking a seat across from me.

"One of the healers?" I wonder aloud in shock. If I am not wrong then there are not many healers left in the packs because many consider them as unwanted.

"We have more than ten healers in our pack." I gasp looking at mom who has replied.

"Seems like you don't know much about this pack." Nicole comments.

"Umm, yeah you are right. I don't know much about your pack and that's why I want to know more. Also, I want to thank your Alpha for accepting my parents in this pack." I reply giving her a small smile.

"You can talk to him tomorrow because right now he is out of town." She replies.

"By the way, you still didn't tell me about the sudden attack on the Royal Moon Pack." I remark looking at the two.

"Your father and I told the alpha what's going on inside the castle. Thankfully, he wasn't someone who is believed in rumors so when we asked him to rescue you he agreed. It may have taken time but finally you are here with us." Mom replies looking relieved.

"I had given up hope that I would ever be able to get out of that prison." I let out.

"Don't worry, no one will be able to take you back there." Nicole comments giving me a gentle smile which seems so out of her character.

"Thank you so much for your help. By the way, what's the name of your alpha?" I ask.

"Arthur Bianchi." I gasp in silence because suddenly my wolf starts whining which is so unlike of her.

"What's wrong with you?" I ask Audrey who is pacing back and forth in my head.

"This name is messing with my mind and I don't fucking know why is that." She replies making me more confused.

"I really don't understand what you are trying to say." I tell her with a huff.

"You will understand when the alpha comes back from his tour. I just hope you will be able to accept the truth." By saying this she cut off the link leaving me jumbled.

What is she talking about? And what truth? She is really talked so mysteriously that it gets hard to understand her. I think I have to wait for the alpha to come back to know what's going on. Maybe he will be able to solve the mystery that has been put in my mind by my wolf.

Arthur's POV

It's been three days since I have been out of town and away from my pack which is a common thing for any alpha. But for me it's not so simple as I like to take care of them by myself. Although I know that my gamma Nicole is very capable of doing her duty, but something is telling me that I need to go back asap. Also my wolf Duncan is going restless as if someone is calling him. I have tried numerous time to stop him from whining but the stupid wolf is not listening to me.

"Stop calling me stupid. Without me you are nothing." Duncan retorts through the mind link.

"Then you should suggest me a perfect name for you other than stupid." I tell him with a smirk.

"You are making fun of me now but just wait and watch till we get back to our pack land." By saying this he cuts off the mind link and retreat in the back of my mind. What the hell does he mean by this? I really think that I need a different wolf because this one is messing with my mind.

Both me and Elijah who is the beta of my pack are heading towards our pack in my private jet and will reach there in five hours. We have gone to collect the new batch of weapons from a dealer. Yes. we keep weapons with us because nowadays there can be seen a lot of hunters who are trying to find werewolves and then sell them to some labs. But they are crazy if they think they can catch us or harm us. If this was the earlier time. they might have fought us but now the matter is completely different. Now we have modern weapons as well as modern combat techniques. Many packs don't like to interact with my pack because for them we are still a bunch of rogues. Same with the council and the royals as they think no one can suppress their orders which I do always.

I hate being told what to do with my pack so it's obvious that I will never listen to any outsider. But James and his wife Jasmine are very different than other royals. I was very skeptical about letting them join the pack. However, hearing the cruel way they got treated by none other than the royals my blood boiled and without any doubt I let them become a part of my pack.

"Alpha, Nicole has completed the task and the Luna Queen is settling well with her parents." Elijah informs me.

"Hmm, that good to know." I reply absentmindedly.

"Are you alright?" He asks sitting across from me.

"Duncan is being restless for some time and when I asked him what's wrong, he told me that I will know everything when we get back to the pack land." I answer releasing a sigh.

"I think he is talking about the Luna Queen. You may be the alpha of our pack but she is still higher than you by rank." He replies and I think he is making sense.

"Let's see then." I let out before looking out of the window towards the vast majority of the cloud mixing with blue.

Finally after a long wait, the jet lends to the airport. I thank the pilot and the crew for their cooperation. There is already a car waiting for us out of the airport so without wasting time we get inside the car fastening our seatbelts. I can see that Elijah is biting his nails which makes me chuckle.

"Stop laughing at me." He grumbles.

"You really need to stop being scared of your papa." I tell him.

"You know well that can't be happening because there is only one person who is not scared of him and that is none other than my dad. I don't know how he handles papa so well while nearly pee in my pants." This time I am not able to control my laugh anymore. Seriously for a 25 years old, he is a scaredy cat when it comes to his papa and my uncle Oliver.

"Then why didn't you inform him about this trip beforehand? You should have at least call him ones to let him know that you are alright." I tell him after I control my laughter.

"He wasn't home when you told me to accompany you so I only got to tell dad about the trip. Also, dad promised me that he would handle papa but now he is saying that papa will beat me when I go home." He answers just as the car drive into our pack territory and Duncan starts whining in my mind again making a headache grow pretty fast.

"Can't you stay still for sometime? You are giving me headache." I tell my wolf who whine loudly making me curse inwardly.

Elijah and I get out of the car before walking inside the pack house where we live with everyone. There are many small houses in the pack land for the families who wants to stay privately but I prefer the pack house for myself. Because I haven't found my mate yet which is very uncommon for any werewolf because at the age of 18 we usually find our mate. But in my case, things are different. I am 26 years old and yet haven't found the on e for me.

The moment I set my feet inside, the strong smell of Rose mixed with Chocolate waved to my nose making both me and Duncan to go crazy. I take deep breaths just to smell the intoxicating scent. I don't wait for Elijah and hurriedly walk towards the back lawn from where the smell is coming. Upon arriving there, I can see a lot of members of the pack so it's not easy for me to detect the owner of the scent. Just then I hear an sweet laughing sound making me turn my head towards the left and there she is playing with the pups.

"Mate." Both Duncan and I yell out catching not only her but everyone's attention.
