One Luna, Three Hated Alphas 148
AALIYAH. I stand up from the bed, both riled up and pissed. Why the fuck is she acting like my papa or a shrink? What's with all this mind-reading and acting smarter? I get that she's smart, scratch that, the smarter one amongst all three of us, I was the wildest, and Linda, most cunning. But right now, it would actually do us both a favour is she sits this one out. I don't respond. Rather, I remain mute, and trembling from anger, not because I’m scared of her fuss, but instead, because I let out so much that I can afford, and slowly, I can see the smoke of my plans setting ablaze and smell it like a sacred incense. Still agitated, I sigh. "Aaliyah, what does she want?" Her voice is low but firm and I can feel her eyes lurking around my fidgeting frame. And it only means one thing, maybe two. First, she knows that I’m lying to her goddamn face, and second, I’m lying again even though she's yet to have facts. “Nikki, I don't know what you're expecting from me.” "The truth!

NIKKI. I'm not certain I heard right. I so need her to speak up, and repeat whatever the heck she said. But there's silence, no words of disclaimer after that, just silence... Icy and wrecking silence. And then she's gone. In less than an hour, I've heard unimaginable things... Things I badly wish I never heard but ain't no freaking way of becoming innocent again. I watch her walk away sobbing like a child. I can only imagine the depth of her trauma and sympathize with her but not feel it the way she does. First her baby and now her mates? To worsen it, all three of them? Now, that's too much of a burden. I open my mouth to yell her name and just how easy it opens, it closes on its accord. Words fail me, my muscles are flaccid, and I can't go after her. Was she joking? Is there more spilling to be done? If she was, why is she then investing her energy in getting treasures stocked up like it's the actual ransom? Is this some sort of a pity party soliciting show? I gasp, exhau

NIKKI “Nikki, please, would you?” she sighs. "I have less than five days, please don't complicate things for me, lady simplicity.”A deadly silence follows afterwards. It lingers for the longest, and there's not a single sign of it coming to an end, not anytime soon. “At least, let me in. Please.” I break the silence, the thumping of my heart so loud, I bet she could hear it from the other end. “This is the closest you can get to me on this matter.” She sighs. “At least let's have a heartfelt conversation.” I plead. "You never can tell how much we would accomplish.”"Jeez, Nikki, sit this one out. If you don't care about me so much, then how about baby Hendrix, your godson? We can't disrupt the whole process...”"We won't if we do the right thing.” I try to sound convincing even though I can't believe my lies. “There's nothing right about any of this, his abduction, the ransom, my life, all of it.”"You can't let her make you feel like shit, you...”"Okay, that's it. I'm done. Yo

CHRIS It all feels like a dream, she is here one minute and out the next. All my life, I've spent it alone, defending the lack alone, being a one-man army and a freaking loner. And when Wild Crest pack met its ruins, I lived a little, had fun and women and sex, knowing that I may be the next victim of the cruel soldiers. But then Aaliyah walked back in with her mates to save us. She saved the pack and saved me from loneliness. One thing I can't stop thanking her for. And now? I messed up like I always do. I started this journey of being an alpha with Nikki, She was there at my coronation, right by my side and when I switched to the beast in me, she ran off, but not beyond arm's length. On that cold and crazy night, she gave me her shoulder and her body, and her mind. She gave me every freaking thing! I built this pack from ashes with her help, and her wisdom even though she was no expert. She gave this pack a reason to believe in my dreams and words. She gave me her time and her

CHRIS The shocked look on the elders’ faces, is enough to make me stop the madness immediately, but I’m far too gone to yield to its control. If the Beta were here, he would disapprove of such an insult and he might withdraw right there and then. Well, let's say all that matters most to me is my Luna, right by my side where she belongs. So, the pack can go ahead and displace me as their Alpha, that's if they can... Not like I bother. “Alpha Chris, you need to calm down for a moment and hear us out.” The third elder suggests, speaking up for the first time since arrival.I look at him keenly, like no one just spoke. My non-verbal cues doing the most. For a while, he maintains eye contact, pain evident in his gaze, before he looks away and faces down out of respect for their alpha. “Well, there's nothing rational what's going on here as we speak. So, there will be no need to beat about and just call it a day.” "We're just to decide on a stand, all that we've done since arrival is st

CHRIS The journey is longer than expected, perhaps the rider is doing it on purpose to get on my nerves. It's certain, I’m freaking paranoid, a loose ruler and maybe he wants to taste more of my bitterness. “Move this shitty carriage!” I yell through the opening and to the driver. The speed doesn't increase like it should, but it also doesn't remain the same. Just a slight difference, worthy enough to exclude him from being punished further. It takes a long while before the scenery begins to make sense. The pack houses and trees dispersion and landscape. We're in Orlando, alas! I exclaimed to myself. The pressure within me intensifies like an inflated balloon, almost sending my heart to shreds. I won't only be facing Nikki, but the three alphas and worse still, Aaliyah. How the heck can I work my way past the hurdles and moreover, go back to my pack with my mate, their Luna? I sigh. It would have been easier if she had gone to her home and not Aaliyah’s. It won't take a lot of c

CHRISHe doesn't respond to me, rather, he walks to the seat in the middle, which I presume is meant for the leading Alpha, and sits on it. The silence between us is like a deadly weapon, brewing hate and stirring up our defences. The only noise palpable is our laboured breaths and the hard grinning of his teeth. The tension arising is getting thicker and more scary. If a fight t that's almost inevitable should ensue, I will be at a disadvantage, considering it's not my pack. As obstinate as I am, I rather go home a wounded soldier, with my mate by my side, than untouched and without a mate. I've been here just once, after the vacation at Nikki’s home, we stopped by Orlando pack for two nights, before we ended our journey. I turn to leave the main chamber, with a different purpose altogether, aware of the room Nikki will probably be in. "I'm glad you talked some senses into your dumb skull. I would have done it gladly for you.” He grins. "I'm glad you chose the better title, 'dumb

MELLISSA For frustrating minutes that seem to drag by, I remain hidden, away from people, and away from my sin. I cover my face thoroughly with my scarf and double my pace. When I am far away from people's eyes, I take to my heels and divert into a small corner. Finding solace in the canopy of trees and shrubs and odd serenity, I begin to sob. My heart throb like hell and I don't fight the hurt and pain and sting. I remain on my butt and cry a river, my head is horribly banging and aching like shit. Crying to my satisfaction, I wipe my wet cheeks with my palms, get off the damp soil, and dust the butt of my dress with the back of my hands. And making sure no one is watching, I take a narrow path that disappears into the wild. Ever since I committed the grave sin against baby Hendrix, our lady, that was nothing but sweet to me and protective about me and to the entire back, I took to hiding. It's more like even though I get what I wanted from the sin, it isn't going to be worth it,
