The Alpha's Contract Luna (Alexia)

-Kieran-

Days went by quickly.

Kieran had pushed his men into training harder than the last. The biggest fight was about to come, and he would be in the front of the battle again and lead his men to victory.

He had invited allied packs to train with them, especially the men of Alpha Baxter and Alpha Declan. With more warriors staying at the Stone Blood Pack, his pack members were busier than ever, including Alexia, his wife.

Alexia not only attended the trainings whenever she could, but she and Rae managed all guests' accommodations and ensured that food and water were always available. The pack members also confided in her about their daily worries. It was probably because, between the two of them, she was more approachable and became the ears of his people.

One afternoon, she and Rae brought refreshments for the warriors in training. To everyone's surprise, Alexia had brought Seth and Sheena from the hospital.

Seth was still in a wheelchair but looked better than the last. Sheena was a tough warrior. She was already walking, but her wounds had not completely healed. She was still limping at that point.

"Guys!" Alexia called. "Let's cheer Sheena and Seth for their fast recovery!"

"Wohoo!"

"Sheena! Sheena!"

"Getting better, Seth!"

A good friend of Seth claimed, "You better get better, or I'll steal your girlfriend."

"Fuck off!" Keiran saw Seth react. He did not even know his distant cousin had a love interest, but clearly, his wife knew!

A contender in Sheena's rank challenged, "You better get better soon, Sheena. Don't you miss kicking my ass!"

"I can kick your ass any day, dork!" Sheena shot back.

Each of the warriors gave their best wishes in their own way, including the visiting warriors. Sheth and Sheena had a blast while helping distribute the bottles of energy drinks.

Kieran wound up smiling. He thought it was an excellent way to get Seth and Sheena back on track. His way would have been different. He would have probably scared Sheena and Seth in their hospital beds until they got up and retrained.

Seeing his wife's methods, however, he was even more thankful that Alexia had other ways of motivating his men. Aside from that, his wife was very good at getting along with everyone.

The bantering continued between his warriors. While that was going on, he met his wife's gaze. She walked up to him and gave him a drink. She said, "You are working so hard, Kieran. I am proud of you."

"Hmmm." Kieran pulled her into his embrace. He pecked her forehead and answered, "I am proud of you, my wife. This pack is changing for the better, and I can see that now."

He pressed his lips against her ear and said, "Wanna fuck tonight?"

"Pfftt! When did we not?" She retorted, and he laughed. He was hard again, but what could he do? They were in the middle of training.

In the middle of the night, Kieran awoke to the sound of his phone buzzing. He peered to his left and saw Alexia still sound asleep in his arm.

He gently settled her head on the pillow before finally reaching for his phone. On the screen, he saw it was Jaxon.

Three days ago, he sent Jaxon to the Golden Eye Pack.

Alpha Blaze insisted that the warrior who reported the assassination attempt was nowhere to be found. Thus, Kieran sent his Beta to find the same warrior and bring him to the Stone Blood Pack. He was determined to find out the truth and punish the culprit behind the ploy. "Alpha," Jaxon said on the other line. "I found the said warrior."

"Good. Bring him to me," Kieran instructed.

།

"I can't," Jaxon replied. "He is already dead. Someone beat me to it. When I arrived, they kept beating around the bush They would not tell me the warrior's address. When I finally got the information, I found him dead in front of his house. No one knew who killed him."

Kieran groaned. He clenched his hand against the phone, ready to throw it against the floor. He only held back because Alexia was sound asleep.

That warrior was his last link to whoever had tried to set up the attack. Since Alexia killed all the rogues unintentionally, there was no one to interrogate.

Over the past few days, Kieran learned that the rogues also planned the truck accident, blocking the road to Saeville. CCTV footage captured the red-headed rogue driving the truck against the cellular site intentionally.

"Then there is no need for you to remain there, Jaxon. Return as soon as you can." Kieran ordered. "But before you leave, identify a potential spy to be our eyes and ears of Alpha Blaze. I fear he is an enemy that we should look out for." "Yes, Alpha," Jaxon confirmed.

Kieran returned to resting next to his wife. He pondered about his next move. Since he failed to catch the culprit behind Alexia's kidnapping, he could only double the protection around his pack. Alexia would not be allowed to leave.

The day finally came when Kieran was to leave for the southern coast. Reports have arrived of the enemy approaching the shores. A hundred of Kieran's men were prepared to go and were ready to die for the nation of Taplean. An hour before leaving, Kieran ordered all his men to gather on the training grounds. He stood on an elevated platform to remind everyone of the cause for their fight.

He looked into everyone's eyes,

including the family members of his

beloved men. He said, "We areProperty of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

leaving our homes to fight for freedom. We are sacrificing, preparing to fight to protect family - our loved ones who will be left behind - we are protecting their freedom."

"To the families of my warriors, know that your sons and daughters will be engaging in battle, thinking of you every day. They will not be

alone, but we will all be togethernet

fighting side by side," Kieran added. "I cannot promise when we will return. I cannot promise to bring all of them back alive, but I promise that they will make you proud! I promise I will win this war!"

Hoots and applause could be heard across the grounds. Many were in tears, but they firmly believed in Kieran.

Closing his speech, Kieran said, "Thank you all for trusting me throughout the years. I, myself, promise to be back. I am still committed to giving you, my next heir!"

"We look forward to it, Alpha!"

"Hail to Luna Alexia!"

"I will survive to see our next Alpha!"

Praises could be heard from everyone in the pack. Kieran turned to Alexia, who was seated behind him. She had rolled her eyes at him as she mindlinked, 'Did you really have to announce that?' Kieran simply smirked. He returned his regard to his warriors and ordered, "Men, say your goodbyes to your families. We will leave in half an hour."

While his men momentarily dispersed, Kieran asked Alexia to walk with him into the open field. From there, he said, "After the war, and after I have won it, I will ask the king to grant me a vacation." "A vacation?" Alexia asked.

"Yes," Kieran confirmed. "We have never been able to have our honeymoon."

He smiled, seeing Alexia's face burn.

Kieran caressed Alexia's cheek. He pulled her closer and said, "Alexia, I don't know how long I'll be gone. I may not have time to call every day. Only Jaxon and Rae can be with you, but promise me, you'll think of me." "Promise me, you'll stay within the pack grounds. Promise me, you'll remember how you are mine," he said. "I will miss you, my wife."

Alexia smiled brightly. She embraced him tightly. Keiran could tell how she relished in that hold. When she pulled away, she said, "Kieran, you better come back, safe and sound. You promise you'll take me away for a honeymoon."

"I love you, Kieran, and I will miss you," Alexia added.

"I will miss you too, Alexia," Kieran said

Kieran never thought, he would change this way. He never imagined he would fall in love, much more with a woman who was forced into his life by the king. Now, he was thankful to King Balthasar for arranging their marriage. Now, he had every reason to return soon. He will definitely win the war for Alexia.
