THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

KOL’S POV

“By all means explain to us why you weren’t present at the Wall Street Pack today for the ambush as we planned.” The pugnacious Alpha Lance rants the moment I step into his living room.

Now I have to come up with the perfect excuse as to why I did not join them.

“Well, I overslept”

“You must be kidding me!” Alpha Ralph adds.

“You can’t be that irresponsible!” Lloyd blasts and I just roll my eyes.

“Have you ever met a responsible rogue before? I’ve told you all, I’m no one’s puppet. I get involved when I feel like it, and there’s nothing any of you can do about it.”

“Well, we can kill you!” Alpha Lance retaliates.

“Of course you can, but sad news is, you can’t. Now let’s stop all this ranting and get to the next plan because with the look on your faces, I can tell that your plans failed!”

“They seemed informed about our plan, someone ratted us out”

“And I suspect you!” Alpha Lance says firmly as he shoots me a stern look and I just shrug my shoulders.

“Of course you would. Is there anything you’re not going to try to blame me for?”

“Well, you suddenly bailed out on us, who knows, you might have joined forces with Alpha Hardin” He insists.

“Indeed, now if you all are just going to sit there and giving me judging looks while this pompous ass calls me names I do not like, I might just decide to uplift my usefulness in this battle. Good day!” I say as I turn to walk away.

“Wait!” Alpha Ralph’s voice comes rumbling in the entire hall and stop on my tracks.

I don’t turn around.

“Pardon Alpha Lance’s words, he was just being skeptical. We don’t think you betrayed. Please stay” He pleads and I smile evilly as I turn on my heels and walk towards them once more.

“Well, there’s well mannered Alphas and then there’s…” I look at Alpha Lance and smile. “I’d rather not say”

“Alright, that’s enough irrelevant chit chat, now let’s get to the real business”

“I’d be delighted to know all about it”

“We need to capture Luna Reign”

“And do what with her exactly?”

“We don’t know yet, but we just need to get her”

“And how do you intend to do that?”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Ambush the female training ground and wear the bracelet on her wrist, that way she won’t be able to use her powers or her strength and speed”

“I see…” I say nodding.

“And you are going to be the one to put the bracelet on her.”

“Why me?” I ask aghast.

“No specific reason, you are just going to be the one to do it”

“Can I say no?”

“No you cannot” He denies and I let out a heavy sigh of frustration.

I don’t want to do this, but I have to in order to erase the doubt on Alpha Lance’s mind. If I refuse to do this, they will all start suspecting my motives as well and that will not be good because I need them to trust me.

Dang it, I am going to betray my mate’s Luna. She is going to be so mad at me. But I have to this for them as well.

“So, when will this be done?”

“Tomorrow morning. Luna Reign always goes to train her female soldiers and that will be the perfect place to get her. So Kol you are going to make a tornado that will cause a ruckus and quickly strap it on her. Fell free to knock her out so you can bring her to us with ease”

“Understood, now can I leave?”

“Stay for lunch” Alpha Lance offers.

“I’d love to , but I’ve got a date” I say with a wide smile as I majestically walk out of the living room.

I’m sorry Luna Reign, but I have to do this.

It’s a good thing they will be waiting at the borders. When I get to the female training ground tomorrow, I will carry out things my own way.

Hardin’S POV

I am someone who normally doesn’t dream, but last night I had a very… I don’t know how to describe it, but it was a strange dream

I actually had a dream that Kol and I were brothers and that we were very close and loved each other very much.

When I woke up early this morning, I tried to convince myself that I only had thar dream because we had a hilarious conversation yesterday and because I like his style but as the minutes ticked and the hours clocked, I got to realize that if I don’t talk this out with someone, I would lose my mind.

I thought of talking with Reign, but I knew she wouldn’t give me the response I want to hear. Only my mother will understand and tell me how to go about this.

I walk over to her bedroom and give a gentle knock on the door and when she signals me to open, I carefully creak the door open and walk in. I see her sitting on the couch in the sitting area with a glass of wine before her and a book in her hand.

Mum loves to read books and it’s from her that both Kylie and I inherited the love for books. I walk over to her and sit quietly by her side.

“I know that face”

“It’s not a woman problem face” I defend.

“I can tell.” She says as she puts the book on the table and looks at me long and hard and I can bet on my life that she is going to point what is bothering me.

“Had a weird dream?”

Told ya?

“How come you read me so well?” I ask aghast and she just smiles.

“I carried you in my womb Hardin, I gave birth to you, fed you, watched you grow from a baby to toddler to a child and then an adolescent and to the adult you are now. I have been with you all your life, you don’t expect me not to know about all your mood swings and problem faces”

“You got me”

“So my sweet boy, tell me what’s wrong”

“It’s the Air Elemental, Kol”

“The one I heard is a rogue”

“A very fine and rich rogue ma”

“Yeah, there are many fine and rich rogues out there”

“I know, but Kol and I seem to have a connection mum. You needed to see how we vibed yesterday in the woods. It didn’t feel like I was talking to some rogue and you know me too well, I don’t let people in, I don’t smile with people during my first encounter with them, but I did with Kol, even Miguel liked him. He didn’t feel like a stranger at all. Mum what if he is our pack member who circumstances pushed his parents out of here?”

“Well, that could be the case son, how about you ask for his mother’s full names next time you two meet so we can trace her origin.”

“Yeah, that’s a brilliant idea. I will do just that”

“Perfect”

“Well I’ll take my leave now, that’s all I wanted to talk about”

“So, how is the battle going if I may ask?”

“So far so good, we are doing just well, but I’m skeptical about what the future holds and I’m trying my best to train my soldiers for this battle. We have to win mum, we honestly have to win. I can’t fail dad and grandpa and the great great great grandpas. I have to make them proud.”

“And you will son, you are going to make them proud. You are handling things just well and I’m so proud of you, your father and others must be very proud of you too. Wall Street Pack would never wish for a better Alpha than you. You are the best!”

“Thank you mum, this means a lot to me” I thank as I hug her tight.

Having my mum compliment me is not something I get everyday, so when she dieys it, I have to be happy and thank her properly.

“Anytime son” She kisses my forehead and I disengage myself from her hold and ri wowse up from the couch.

“Alright mum, I have to go the office now, I have a me…” I stop talking before I can sell myself out.

I have a meeting with Leonard, Carl and Miguel in few minutes time in my office and if I tell mum, she is going to attend by fire by force and that is the last thing I want to happen. She’s going to do nothing but taunt and embarrass me throughout the meeting and I don’t want that.

“A…?” She asks eagerly and I just shake my head and smile.

“Just a few paper work to round off with” I lie smoothly.

“Alright then, whenever you have a meeting about Pack business let me know so I can attend, okay?”

“Yes mum” I reply politely and leave her office. I would only do that over my dead body.

I walk into my office and see the guys included Reign seated in the sitting area obviously waiting for me.

Reign!

Why is she here?

“And finally he shows up” She announces.

“I thought you were at the training ground”

“Well, a little birdie whispered to me that there’s gonna be a meeting so I thought it wise to attend. This is my Pack after all, I have every right to know what’s going on in it”

“Yes Ma’am” I surrender as I take my seat.

I don’t have energy to start arguing with her right now.

“So Leonard, what is it that you want us to discuss about. Please don’t tell me it’s another heartbreaking revelation.”

“Well, it is a revelation, but not the one to break hearts, just the one that brings a lot of facts to our understanding so we can be more conscious about the people we are against”

“Sounds fun, ride on”

“What the Moon goddess revealed to me last night were the personalities of the various Elementals”

“Oh, okay”

“For the Earth Elemental, he is the cruelest, the most ambitious and the most wicked! He can do anything to accomplish his goals and he doesn’t care who he hurts to accomplish them and he is kind of the leader of them all.”

“And he is pugnacious too” I add and we all burst into laughter.

“Yeah he is and for the Water Elemental, he is always under the shadow of the Earth Elemental. Adhering to his every will and command, like a puppet. But he’s quite powerful and merciful. I can say he has the softest heart of them all. For the Fire Elemental, he’s calm, doesn’t talk much but mind you, he’s got anger issues and when mad, he can burn the entire place down. Try not to step on his nerves.”

“Copy that…”

“There’s no copying Luna, we bother have the abilities too, he gets mad, we get mad as well, we all burn each other. Equation balanced”

“Tss… you are not serious.”

“And the last but not the least, the Air Elemental”

“I like that guy”

“Yeah, he’s quite a charmer. By now you must have already noticed that he’s a very sarcastic guy, very blunt and down to earth, fears no one, not even an Alpha, does his things and cares less about consequences and very cunning. He cannot be trusted!” He concludes and Reign, Miguel and I exchange confused glances.

“That guy gave us heads up for an ambush, why are you saying he cannot be trusted?”

“Because he is cunning and cannot be predicted, one minute he is on this side and the next minute he is on the other side. This war is already getting tougher as it is now, the last thing we need right now is any betrayal”

“I don’t think Kol can betray us, his mate is from this pack” Reign defends.

“And I feel like he is from this pack too” I add and they all look at me in awe. “Uh… forget what I just said”

“Well, that is pretty much all I have to say about the Elementals. The earth is an ambitious psycho, the fire has got anger issues, the water is a puppet and Air is a cunning man. Now that we all know these things, we can know how to deal with them better”

“Thank you very much for the info Leonard”

“Anytime Alpha”

I wake up from my seat and make my way to the wine bar where I serve myself a shot of bourbon whiskey and gulp it down in one go.

Everything about the Elementals have settled in for me, except that of the Air Elemental of course.

I will need an instance to prove this unworthy nature Leonard is trying to pin on him.
