The Alpha's Contract Luna (Alexia)

-Hazel-

"I heard Drake kept Dean's and Melissa's family prisoners. Alpha Kieran and I are here to free them and... take this pack under the Stone Blood Pack's rule," Alexia said, and Hazel's eyes widened.

'What the - How did they know? Is there another spy?' Drake, her brother, mindlinked with the entire family.

'Drake! I thought you took care of all the spies?' Alpha Roland sought, also connecting with them.

'I fucking did. Maybe there was another one!' Drake answered, and a hissed left his lips.

'It doesn't matter now,' Alpha Roland said. 'Simply fucking deny it! The only way they would find them is if they fight off against the entire pack!'

While Hazel's family was arguing through mindlink, she studied Alexia closely. 'Alexia looked stunning. How was this possible? Could she possibly be happy with the Stone Blood Pack? Shouldn't she be miserable for marrying a daunting and hideous alpha?' Hazel did not want to acknowledge the remarkable change in Alexia, including the confidence in her that she continued to mock her.

Her mother, Matilda, had the same idea. She heard Matilda say, "When did you suddenly get a backbone, Alexia?"

Matilda laughed, and Hazel did the same. How could Alexia come back here and make claims? To think she only brought six warriors to back her up!

Soon, however, they noticed the car door behind Alexia open wider. Suddenly, a tall and muscular man appeared before them. He exuded confidence. He carried an overbearing air around him and had that menacing look.

Though he looked formidable, his well-defined jawlines, alluring eyes, tanned skin, and physique drew her in. She gulped, wondering, 'Who is this man? How beautiful!'

Hazel noticed how the Stone Blood Pack warriors' heads were down. Even Alexia gave way to his arrival. Instantly, she had a lightbulb moment. 'This is Alpha Kieran Stone?'

"WHY? Would I not come with my wife?" In a glacial tone, the man said before them. Immediately, Hazel felt her knees weaken, her body sensing the need to bow before him.

He was an Alpha. Her stepfather, Alpha Roland, also ordered them using his alpha command. Still, Hazel had never before heard of a leader outside their pack having so much power over another pack's members. Jealousy crept into Hazel's heart. She thought, 'I should have taken Alexia's place and married Alpha Kieran! Why is that bitch Alexia so lucky!'

First, the king specifically asked for her. Then, she married a powerful alpha who was thought to be ugly, but it turned out he was captivating in a dangerously good way!

Before Hazel could dwell on her envy, Alpha Kieran cautioned, "I warned you, Roland! Through my warriors, I warned you never to maltreat or let your son hurt another one in your pack! BUT YOU! You did not listen!"

It was as though his voice turned into gravitational waves that he had them swaying back and forth with fear. Hazel looked to her right and saw her mother retreating, her lips shaking.

"AI - Alpha Kieran?" Alpha Roland said. His eyes met as he sought, "Is it - Is it you -"

"Who the fucking else could I be?" Alpha Kieran barked. Then he marched towards Alpha Roland. With a single hand, he grabbed his throat and lifted Roland in the air. Kieran announced, "By order of King Balthasar, surrender your pack to my reign, or you will suffer the consequences of life imprisonment or possibly death, should you choose to defy the king!"

Roland was choking on his words as he replied, "We don't know what you are talking about. Imprison my pack members? You must be mistaken!" "Stop accusing us, Alexia! You hung up on me or something?" Drake opposed, and Hazel panicked! Sometimes, her brother can be foolish! "Dean is alive! He came to us to let us know what you did, Drake! You can't escape now, not with Kieran and the king knowing!" Alexia declared.

Horror washed over Hazel, and the same reflected on her mother's face. Hazel also saw the fear in Alpha Roland's eyes and slowly took a few steps back.

Alpha Kieran threw Alpha Roland sprawled to the ground. He dashed in front of Drake in a blink of an eye. Hazel saw how her brother tried to escape, but Alpha Kieran was instantaneous. He grabbed Drake's leg and swung him around. Eventually, Kieran's hand found Drake's neck.

He lifted Drake in the air, choking him by the neck, and argued, "Do you think my wife is hung up on you? In your fucking dreams! Order the prisoners' release! Order it now! Or I will be forced to conquer your pack!"

Before Drake could decide, Alpha Roland shifted! With the way he was fuming, he was about ready to attack!

Hazel saw how the warriors of the Stone Blood Pack also shifted into their wolf forms. The same could be said with the ones on guard from their side.

"You don't stand a chance, Kieran! Not when we have the upper hand now!" Alpha Roland claimed, and before the frightening alpha could react, Drake had already fished inside his trouser pocket and stabbed Alpha Kieran with wolfsbane! While in mid-air, Drake laughed. He declared, "I guess we will be the one capturing you, Alpha Kieran!"

He kept laughing and laughing, but Hazel thought there was something strange about Alpha Kieran. Seconds had passed, yet he still held Drake up in the air.

It appeared to Hazel that her brother had the same realization. Her father also considered the same. It was evident by the way he was gawking at Alpha Kieran.

Finally, Alpha Kieran revealed, "You fool! How do you think I survived being on the war's front if I had not grown a tolerance to wolfsbane?"

With a loud growl, Alpha Kieran turned to his gamma and commanded, "Ace! Instruct all men, in all borders to attack!"

Hazel's eyes widened.

Her mother fainted.

Alpha Roland panicked. He looked around and paid extra attention to the moving trees and thundering paws. Howls could be heard around the pack, and soon enough, the cries of his people resounded. -Kieran-

Earlier, Kieran put Drake down for one second to direct his warriors. Drake took the chance to flee, leaving his mother and sister behind!

Kieran had to shift into his black wolf and chase after Drake into the forest.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"I got you!" Kieran growled, seeing Drake's tale. His black wolf lunged at him and landed on Drake's back. He bit the side of his neck and forced Drake to roll to the ground. With his sharp teeth, he clasped onto Drake's neck and swung him from side to side. He declared, "This is for touching Alexia!"

Kieran tossed him aside and shifted into his human form. Drake had weakened, bleeding on the ground.

With hands formed into fists, Kieran kneeled in front of Drake and punched his face repeatedly. "This is for even looking at her!"

Kieran hated Drake the most. He left Alpha Roland fighting with Ace, his gamma, since he had more grudge against Drake. Thinking about how Drake's hands had touched Alexia's skin made his blood boil! He punched and punched him until Drake lost consciousness.

When Kieran returned to the packhouse, he saw Alpha Roland down on his knees. Like Drake, he stood no chance against his best gamma. "Kieran!" A needle felt plucked out of his heart, seeing the concerned look on Alexia. She embraced his black wolf, and like the last, she nestled against his soft fur. She said under her breath, "I was worried." "There is nothing to worry about, Alexia." Alpha Kieran relished in her touch. Then, in the most ominous tone, he asked, "Now, tell me where is... Beta Edward's grave."

Minutes later, after Kieran changed into his clothes, they made their way to the pack's cemetery. Keiran had already put this on his priority list. He was going to punish Beta Edward, even on his deathbed!

The rain poured over the Cross River Pack as Kieran ordered Beta Edward's remains to be exhumed. When the former Beta's casket had been taken out of the earth, Kieran thrust his fist into the coffin. "Aghh! How dare you and your filthy hands!"

"You lucky bastard, you died before we met!"

Kieran not only deformed Beta Edward's casket, but he also broke the headstone.

As Kieran let out his anger, Alexia stood before him, crying. After half an hour of destroying Beta Edward's resting place, Alexia came up behind him. She put her arms around his waist and said, "That's enough, Kieran. That's enough. You did enough."

Kieran turned to Alexia. He embraced back and said, "From now on, no one can hurt you. Whoever does will die in my hands. You hear me, Alexia!"

"I believe you. I believe you," Alexia said, whimpering in his arms.
