THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

KOL’S POV

As we walk into the castle which is crazily enormous, I can see how everyone’s Express changes.

Hateful glares from guards here and there and I can only imagine what Hardin will do to me the moment he sees me.

As we walk over to the door, it suddenly opens up and a very furious look Alpha Hardin storms out.

“Where’s the traitor!” He roars and when he sets his eyes on me, he charges towards me and I quickly push Diana behind my back to protect her and as speculated, he gives me a deadly punch in the cheek which almost breaks my jaw bones and I loose my balance and fall to the ground.

Now that! Was one Alpha punch.

He kicks me hard in the stomach and blood flies out of my mouth as I struggle to crawl backwards.

My wind pipe is actually blocked and right now I’m gasping for breath!

He is about to kick my stomach again when surprisingly, Diana falls on my body and bursts into tears to protect me and immediately the color of me eyes change to yellow as I look up at him in anger.

I swear if he dares hurt Diana, I’m fighting back and I don’t care if he kills me in the process.

It seems like he understands what the change in eye color means because he withdrawals his leg and stands still.

“Please Alpha Hardin, I know he committed a grave crime, but please you have to listen to what he has to say” Diana pleads as she kneels down with her head bowed down. “Please Alpha Hardin, have mercy on him and listen to what he has to say, I promise it makes sense”

There is a long awkward moment of silence. When I regain my breath and strength, I gently rise up from the ground and lift Diana up as well.

I walk towards Alpha Hardin who is breathing hard in anger. I totally understand why he is so angry, I would react the same way

if I were in his shoes.

“We need talk” I say quietly and he looks at me long and hard before unclenching his fists walks into his castle, leaving confused.

“Follow him!” Diana indicates and I look at her confused “That means you should follow him. I’ll be at home, don’t go without checking up on me” She says as she kissed me and scurries away.

“I love you” I whisper to myself as I follow Alpha Hardin.

After explaining everything to Alpha Hardin and Beta Miguel and the others who are present, they all look at me like I have gone mad. There is total silence in the office and right now that if a pin were to be dropped down, one would hear it’s sound.

Pin-dropping silence!

“So, you mean to tell us that you abducted our Luna to prove to those hooligans that you are on their side?” Beta Miguel says in a stern tone.

“I know it was crazy…”

“Not crazy! Stupid!” Alpha Hardin roars. “You should have let me know, we could have come up with something else”

“You don’t get it…”

“Don’t you daretell me that bullshit! My mate is locked up in some cold smelly dungeon because of your foolishness!”

“I am going to get her out!” I announce and they all look at me.

“And how are you going to do that?”

“The bracelet I just told you about, only I alone can take it off. I already spoke with Luna Reign, we have a plan”

“We?”

“Yeah, she was mad as well but she eventually understood and decided to reason with me”

“It’s not like you gave her another choice”

“Hardin!” I call firmly and everyone looks at me furiously, then I realize what I just did.

Bloody titles!

“I meant to say, Alpha Hardin. I need you to calm down and reason with me. I have told you my reason for doing all this, please try to understand and let’s work hand in…” I pause when I notice something on his left arm. He has on a fitting short-sleeved t-shirt so part of his arm is exposed.

I take calculated steps towards him and when I’m close, I hold out his left arm and a scrutinize the mark.

It’s a black crescent moon and I can remember my mum telling me that mark is a unique mark that runs only in my father’s family. She never really told me who he was for reasons I do not know, but she said if I found this same mark on any one’s left arm and on the same spot as mine, I should know I am related to that person.

“What’s wrong?” He asks confused.

“Can you please tell the others to excuse us? Please? I promise it’s important.”

I plead and immediately, he nods to his beta who seems reluctant to leave and they all exit the office, leaving just the two of us in it.

“So, what’s the matter?”

“That crescent moon on your left arm, what does it signify?”

“The Colton lineage. Every offspring conceived by a Colton bears the mark and it’s unique only to us, even though the colors change. My father had a yellow crescent moon, but he passed onto us black crescent moons, my uncle Leonard had green and passed on blue to his children. It has a certain uniqueness that helps identify brothers, sisters and cousins anywhere we meet” He explains and I nod as I take off the jacket I have on.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Well, there was some long explanation I had to give you about this, but I guess this just makes everything easier.” I fold the left sleeve of my t-shirt which exposes the same black mark on it and show to him as the moment he sets his eyes on it, his eyes open up in shock!

“I know right?”

“That’s the crescent moon birth mark and it’s black. Holy Moon goddess! Kol does this mean?…”

“I’m freaking out as well” I say shaking my head.

“You are no doubt my brother Kol, that’s why you have such a tough body build. You have Alpha Bloody running in you!” He says in excitement and I just shrug with a wide smile plastered on my face.

“Welcome to the family bro” He says as he engulfs me in a that bro hug and I hug him back with all my heart.

This is my brother.

I finally have someone to call brother!

“You know what?”

“What?”

“Let’s go meet my mum, it’s about time we uncovered this mystery. I need to know why my brother grew up as a rogue, not as the prince he is. Come with me”

“Hardin, I don’t think that’s…”

“No, no, no. We have to find out. This is wrong in every indication. Even if dad cheated and had you, you have every right to have been raised here. Every elder in this pack will have to answer to me because I very well believe they all had a hand in this. Come with me!” He instructs and I follow him out of the office.
