Luna On The Run!

Alpha Gorgio’s POVOriginal content from NôvelDrama.Org.

I can’t believe an Alpha is trying to steal my mate.

I cannot allow this, it must never happen. There must be something this scum has pulled out to manipulate my Ariel. Maybe he even hired a witch to take her away from me to weaken me.

Never before has a fully mated wolf, still active in the relationship, been paired with another wolf. There are cases of up to three males having to share a she-wolf, but they were all unmated. Damn sure Alpha Zane is playing dirty here. And I won’t let it go on, I’ll go to war if I have to. In any case, I feel that the King is not unwilling to understand me, he also loves his woman with all that is in him.

Ariel! My only love.

No man will ever touch her as I do. She is mine, all of her. Her heart, soul and body. The Moon Goddess sanctioned our bond at our joining ceremony and I will hold her to it. And I am sure Ariel will never deceive me, we are one body and soul and there is no room for a third mate. We don’t need Alpha Zane.

Now that the camera footage proves she was not kidnapped, I must withdraw my warriors. War is no longer justified here. But I am watching this Alpha closely, I know he will go after her, my Luna.

“Okay, I take my words back. Alpha Zane has not taken her. But I want him to call off his trackers, I don’t need him to hunt down my Luna. I can find her myself with the help of her father, the Alpha King,” I stated hard. I refuse to give in, this Alpha must vanish from my life.

“No chance,” I still heard him say, making my blood boil again. This idiot has mastered the art of provoking my rage, soon he will figure out what I’m capable of. He doesn’t seem to understand that he is now a walking dead. Whatever happens, he cannot stay alive.

But as long as the King is in the picture, I have to keep a low profile. After I have my Luna, I will have his head. And after Ariel rejected him, I will behead him immediately so that whatever nonsense there is between them will be destroyed forever.

“You forget for your own convenience that she is also my mate, Alpha Gorgio. I have a duty to ensure her safety,” he declared adamantly. And then his features soften. “And I want to hold her to me, I have searched for her for so long. I have every right to take what is mine.”

If the Alpha King had not jumped between us, a headless wolf would be walking around here.

“Gorgio! Stop it! Control yourself, son,” my father-in-law bellowed as he grabbed my shoulders. Jace, my Beta, and Alvin join in to hold me back. My black orbs are aimed at the Alpha in front of me, Xander ready to rip his head off. My wolf partially takes over, his muzzle and claws lengthening as the fine fur on my skin becomes visible. Who is he to think he can lay his paws on my mate? I’ll kill him!

“I suggest Alpha Zane stand down. This provocation is pointless,” the King stated in displeasure. “The man’s already got it bad enough, why add fuel to the fire? Alpha Zane, don’t force me to discipline you.”

“I’m sorry, my King. I was caught up in the moment. I’m sure you understand my feelings. For years I have had to do without her,” he defended himself but was wise enough not to add any more intimate details.

I gave him another scorching look before pushing Xander back into the background.

“I leave for my pack to organize a search party. Ariel can’t be far, I have a strong suspicion where she might have gone,” I muttered and turned to my father-in-law. “Father, send me your best trackers. I don’t want to scare her off. Tell the men to report her whereabouts and I will go and fetch her myself. I am the only one who can calm her down. And then she will tell me what is bothering her and we will find a solution together. Just like always.”

A tender smile came over my lips.

What I say is the truth. My mate and I are in complete sync. I can feel her, her moods and her expectations. She has been gone for about two hours now, but I am sure she already misses me. Her body against mine, our eye contact, our constant touch.

“They are already on their way, my son. They will be in Eclipse Howl within the hour,” my father-in-law assured me. “But there is no escaping the fact that Alpha Zane is also looking for her. We have to take him at his word that he is also my daughter’s mate,” he sighs. I glare at him for a moment but soon realize the predicament he is in. Two men claiming the daughter is already a hard nut to crack, even for an Alpha King.

And I don’t want to make things worse for him. I turn to the King and Queen and ask them to allow me to leave, which they do. After a brief hug from my father-in-law, I retreat with my Head Warrior and Beta.

As we stand outside the gates, Alvin turns to me. I can feel his fear vibrating from him, his eyes looking up at me, begging for forgiveness. This is a friend I would trust with my life. Now that I am sober, I am convinced that he is definitely not to blame. His reputation among the warriors he leads is now at stake. He was the Luna’s personal guard and is now seen as a failure. The pack will not spare him.

I take his shoulders before he can utter a word.

“Alvin, this is not your fault at all. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose you once more to protect my mate. I would even trust you with my own life.” My statement was loud enough for all the waiting warriors to hear. And I know it will reach the pack.

The gratitude in his eyes is priceless.

“Thank you for your great trust, Alpha. Once again, I swear my loyalty to you and our Luna. There is nothing I could not do for you.”

We turn around, ready for a quick trip back to our pack.

There is much work to do.

Our Luna needs to come home as soon as possible…
