The Alpha’s Little Luna

Still Mercedes’ POV

Want to know why I’m sitting here facing the Alpha I hate the most?

Stupidity.

Meddling in other’s business.

Unfounded loyalty.

And if all this isn’t getting me into more trouble today, I don’t know what will. ‘Cause everything in me tells me this is so wrong, I stepped with eyes open wide into a trap, one that could close behind me at any moment. And then my life will get really complicated.

It must be the Luna in me to want to stand up for the weak. At least, if you can count Clarita among the helpless ones.

Going to her party was definitely not a good idea.

She wanted to dominate me, prove she could manage a better one than my birthday bash. That’s why she made sure that everything was so well organized that the most expensive drinks and snacks were available. She wasn’t afraid to prostitute herself to the Alpha to get it all done.

And when I was at the party, I opened up to Alpha Glary.

Bad idea!

He took my kindness as a peace pipe after I demanded he leaves me alone. Still, he thinks of all kinds of ways to trap me into going with him on a date. I can’t believe this man; everyone in Silver Moon knows I already have a mate and am only waiting for my eighteenth to be with him forever.

And this meddling made me agree to hear him when he wanted to speak to me urgently. I should have maintained my attitude towards him, not walked him to the terrace and shown no interest in his talks.

And yeah, disaster never comes alone.

Of course, he brought more bad luck when he felt compelled to open the bedroom door and let us witness other’s business. Because there was really no need to open the door, we could already hear what was happening from outside.

Everything reached a final boiling point when Clarita threw a tantrum this morning. She got out of her mind, I naturally jumped in for her. Glary’s wolf did not tolerate the disrespect towards the Alpha’s mother, Luna Clare. Clarita was as good as dead and preparations for her funeral would now be in full swing if I didn’t interfere.

But then again, I had to meddle with the matter! I couldn’t let her die a cruel death without lifting a finger to save her. Not that she showed herself to be a good friend with her harsh words.

But that’s me.

As mean and jealous as she was, I had to do something to stop the Alpha from killing a pack member.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Then again, when the Alpha forced me to dine with him, I should have cut off the friendship with him and Clarita as well. Just refuse squarely because I know Zane definitely won’t accept this.

Right now, I am endangering my relationship with my mate, dining with another male is against our agreement. I know that on the contrary, if any she-wolf would dare date my mate, before that slut made any move, she would rip her to shreds. Her family would not be able to even patch up her body for a funeral when I was done with her.

So here I am, sitting with Alpha Glary to save Clarita’s skin.

In another case, I’d be in bed calling my mate, teasing him and finally telling him how much I love him and can’t wait until I turn eighteen next year. And he would explain to me in great detail what we would all do in bed and why he had already soundproofed our room in his packhouse.

But now I sit here in the company of this creep and hope the night to be over soon.

The Alpha has brought a picnic basket and we are now on a hill with a beautiful view. The moon shines brightly over our heads, so we don’t need additional light. I think he’s trying to create a romantic atmosphere, but I just can’t get into the mood. All I want is to go back home and FaceTime my mate.

For the umpteenth time, I look at my phone. Time is running so turtle-like tonight.

The Alpha takes a bottle of expensive wine from the basket and pours both glasses.

“On our first date,” he toasted, irritating me to the max. “I hope you can relax in my company after today. I am not the bad wolf, Mercedes”. I struggled to suppress my boredom.

“Hmmm”, I responded thinly as our glasses clink.

He brings out Lasagna, Pizza, Pasta with shrimp in small bowls and some snacks.

“I know you like Italian,” he stated meaningfully.

Of course, he didn’t notice that I had already had my portion of Lasagna for today in the school cafeteria. And if he thought he would impress me with this wine and all, I’ve got news for him. My mate has already prepared all this for me in his pack, it is now almost daily stuff.

Out of courtesy, I take a bowl of Pasta and start eating it while I stare silently in front of me.

“Mercedes, do you already know what to do after graduating next year?” asked the Alpha. “And of course, you come to live in the packhouse,” he concludes. A smile crosses my face when I think about next year.

“You start your Alpha training next month, right? Are you prepared for that?” I answered him with a question in return. “I understand it will take about a year. Will you be able to stay separated from the pack for that long?” There was a moment of silence before I heard him sigh.

“To be honest, I have to leave next month,” he confessed. “But I want to postpone it until next year. Maybe then my mate will come of age and I can take her to join me or she can study in human town”. He now turns to me.

“Tell me, are you going to study outside the pack next year? You are good at school, so it would be a shame not to study a profession”. I kept staring dreamily.

“Yeah, I’m getting out of the pack next year. To Midnight Moon to start my life next to Zane,” I murmured. “And then I do an online study. I still have to check with my mate to see what profession would benefit our pack the best”, I added, sipping on my wine. “And then, after two years, we can start our own family, have pups. I can’t wait until next year”.

I look alarmed at the Alpha when it remains quiet at my side. Then I see him staring at me emotionless.

“You don’t have to leave Silver Moon. You were born here and it would be excellent if you commit to serving your own pack,” he stated cautiously. “You could be our Silver Moon’s second most influential wolf and help strengthen us.”

I stare at him in wonder. What exactly does he mean?

Then my worse nightmare is put into words.

“You could be my Luna and serve Silver Moon alongside me”.

The glass slips from my hands as my mouth drops open…
