An Alpha’s Power
Few days after the death of his father, Alpha Louis took a shocking and controversial step , he claimed Carl’s mother, Luna Claire, as his own wife. This move was met with widespread disapproval and outrage from the pack. The people of the pack couldn’t believe Alpha Louis’ action as it was seen as an obvious power move and a betrayal of Carl’s family.
Luna Claire, still grieving the loss of her husband, was forced to accept Louis’s proposal, as she was left with little choice. She was now the wife of the new Alpha, and was expected to support and obey him without question.
Nobody has the power to question Alpha Louis’s decision.
The pack was divided, with some members openly expressing their disgust and anger at Louis’s action. They saw it as an obvious move by him to increase his power and get rid of anyone who might challenge his authority. And also, to dare and humiliate Carl the more, knowing his mother is all that is left for him. ”He wants to possess everything Carl owns” a pack member said.
***********
Carl was in the bathroom listening and whistling his best sound when he heard his name,
“Carl ! Carl ! ” Dwayne rushed Into Carl’s room hurriedly.
” Who is that ?” Carl came out of his bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist .
He came out unto the hands of Dwayne who was waiting impatiently for him . ” Oh Dwayne it’s you”
” There is a lot going on in the pack and it’s obvious you haven’t heard about it “Dwayne said.
” I am always aware of whatever is going on in the pack so I’m always up to date ” Carl said jokingly.
Dwayne shook his head in disagreement with what Carl said ” if you are aware of what Is going on in the pack right now , you won’t be this calm and patient”.
” So what is it ? , don’t put me in a suspense ” Carl showed a little interest in what Dwayne had to say.
” As I was coming back from taking a walk this morning, I overheard some people saying your mom is now Alpha Louis’s wife, ” Dwayne said .
” What ? , you must be joking,” Carl laughed out loud. ” But please Dwayne don’t ever try playing with me with such a thing, as you know I don’t joke with my mom ” .
” I am dead serious man, ” Dwayne said with a serious look on his face .
Without saying any other thing, Dwayne picked up a shirt and trouser and dashed out of the room immediately.

Carl went straight to his mother’s apartment and flung open the door without a knock.” Mom , what is going on ?”…Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
He looked up at his mother who looked so down like she was about to cry out her eyes.
” Is it true mother ?” Carl asked his mother.
Instead of answering her son’s question, all Carl could see was tears running down her cheeks.
” Answer me mother !!!!!” Carl screamed.
” That bastard son of a bitch wasn’t satisfied with the throne but still went ahead to take my mother as his wife ?”
Carl was about to storm the house in anger when his mother grabbed him by the hand .” Carl , I beg you in the name of the moon goddess, don’t go and confront Louis, there is nothing you can do to him , he is going to kill you !!”
” Let go mother , I’m going to deal with that bastard ” Carl said
” No son !! No !! Just let it go !” Luna Claire screamed on top of her voice.
At that point, all Carl could do was just to cry his eyes out because just like his mother said , there was nothing he could do to Alpha Louis.
Carl, in particular, was devastated by this turn of events, feeling as though his mother had been taken from him , his throne , and his pride .
After Louis claimed Luna Claire as his wife, she was forced to live in the Alpha’s den, surrounded by Louis’s loyal followers and guards. She was not allowed to see her son, Carl, the rest of the pack, and was subjected to Louis’s control.
Luna Claire’s days were filled with loneliness and despair. She was a prisoner in her own home, unable to leave or interact with anyone outside of Louis’s inner circle. She was forced to attend pack gatherings and ceremonies, where Louis would parade her around like a trophy, gloating over his conquest.
Despite her difficult circumstances, Luna Claire held onto hope. She prayed for a miracle, for someone to come and rescue her and her son from Louis’s wicked hands.
But as the days passed , she began to lose hope. It seemed as though Louis’s rule would never end, and that she would be trapped forever.
Carl is also as weak as his mother; there was nothing he could do to Louis that he can’t shift.
As the pack simmered with unrest, Luna Claire could only watch and wait. She was powerless to stop Louis’s brutality, and could only hope that her son would be the one to finally bring him down.
“Claire how do you want Carl to do it , he is powerless as well so stop daydreaming” Luna Claire said to herself and the thought of it made her cry like she was going to die anytime soon .
One fateful night, under the light of a full moon, the pack gathered in the town square. Louis stood on the stage, his eyes gleaming with arrogance, as he declared his dominance over the pack.
And then, Carl emerged from the shadows, his eyes fixed on Louis with a fierce determination.
The people around was already thinking Carl was coming for another battle with Alpha Louis which he was going to lose any ways .
” Where do you think you are going to go ?” Alpha Louis ordered his men to block Carl who was coming towards him .
” Should I just swallow my pride and just beg him on my knees if he is going to listen?” Carl thought to himself. ” I can just do it to save my mother from him at least even if I am not going to get the throne back .
” I came to see you personally” Carl answered Alpha Louis with his head down.
