The Alpha King's Battered Luna

Alpha Asher's POV.

I went back to my seat since Daniel mind-linked me that the rogue that crossed our border was a female wolf and she looked dirty and bruised. I guessed that maybe she escaped from an abusive alpha or maybe an evil mate.-

I have a lot of them here in my pack, starting their life afresh because their mate decided to move mad. Most times when we get female rouges, that's always the case.

I mind-linked another female wolf to prepare a room for her and help her feel comfortable till I'm done working then I would come to see her.

I wonder why some males would hit their mates and maltreat them to the point of running away? I guess some people have things and they don't value them.

This was my tenth year of being the Alpha King of the werewolf realm and for once I've never gotten a mate. Some are lucky to get another mate after their previous ones died.

I've never gotten anyone before, not even one that has had a mate before. It was sad for me because I wanted more. To be loved unconditionally by one person and to be able to return the love without fear.

Something felt unusual and for the first time, since I've been able to contact my wolf and have a relationship with it, I can't decipher what this feeling is. I couldn't concentrate on the work I was trying to finish so I decided I'd had enough work to do for the day. Maybe a run on the tracks and ending it with a visit to the new addition to our pack. I needed to confirm that she wasn't a spy or anything whatsoever. I couldn't deal with that right now.

Stepping out of the pack office, I had a change of mind. The heat was somehow unbearable and I decided to go swimming instead.

The water didn't sound like a bad idea and I took the shortcut passing in front of the orphanage, I decided to go in.

Those children haven't seen me since last week and I promised them that I would take them for something fun this week. I needed to remind them that the deal was still on if I don't have more paperwork to fill.

I walked in and those children attacked me with hugs. They didn't give me a chance to breathe and I laughed when they successfully pulled me to the floor and they started tickling me.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

They wanted to hear me laugh and I made sure to frown for them to give up but they weren't having any of it.

I finally let go of my facade and I started laughing. Giving a home to these children was some kind of feeling I couldn't get rid of that fast, It was like making sure they didn't end up like me.

I kind of like the whole thing, making sure their parent's choices didn't affect their living.

I didn't wake up one morning and decide to be the Alpha king, in fact, I didn't get a pack passed on to me. I built everything from scratch and together with my friends, we built the most formidable pack in the werewolf realm. Daniel, Edna, Shalom, and Tommy were the first set of friends I ever had in my life and the war brought us together.

For over a hundred years, The faeries wanted to take over the werewolf realm and rule over the entire supernatural realm.

We were quite young then and soon

the effect of the war started to get to the grassroots. Most packs started tossing out their extra members

because the food was dwindling and

they need to survive.

I was the black sheep of my family then and it didn't come as a shock when I got tossed out. Daniel grew up in the monastery and everyone there got tossed out too.

Edna's father had too many children and he tossed out his female children; her sister died before we could finalize our dreams.

Together with other rogues who needed a place to call home, we started this pack. We slowly built ourselves and we ended the war, we defeated the faeries.

We earned our place in the werewolf realm and since then, the royal pack is open to every harmless rogue who wants a place to call home.

"Is the Alpha in here?" Someone

asked from the door and I sat upright, The kids left me alone gradually when they discovered the person looking for me had some serious business for

me.

I watched him bow mildly before I waved him off. He cleared his throat before he started speaking.

"Beta Daniel said he has tried mind-linking you several times but you've been distracted and there's a blockage on the pack's link.

He said to meet him at the pack clinic because the rogue just fainted and all efforts to revive her are proving difficult." When he finished talking, I sat upright in shock.

The last thing wanted was a dead woman's case in my hands. It could be worse than anyone would think and it could even be a trap to make trouble for the royal pack. He bowed slightly before running in a different direction.

My thought became jumbled because what if she was a trap by one of my many enemies and they wanted to destabilize me.

The odds of a bruised woman showing up in this pack is almost sixty percent but a bruised and sick one falls by ten percent.

I walked out of the orphanage and I walked extremely fast. The pack doctor should be able to do something, she is one of our very best.

She came from a long generation of healers and she has been taught how to deal with cases like this by her predecessor, they should have.

I hastened my footsteps when I felt how worried Daniel sounded in my head. I felt like there was more to this whole thing.

Like there were a lot of things that were about to change. I could feel it in my guts and my guts don't lie.
