LUCIAN’S POV
I was sitting down in the dining room, wondering if the person I had just had a conversation with was still the same Alana I knew. The timid, vunerable, intimidated woman who crouched before me In fear.
I thought this conversation would go a lot smoother than I thought. Break the news to her, get her to concede to Diana being the second Luna and that was it. I didn’t expect that she’d straight up snap at me. I could see the rage burning in her eyes and it was then I realized she had probably taken a stand on her decision and was not going to make Diana, Luna.
For the first time tonight, I actually found myself questioning my actions towards Alana these past few years. The part about vibrators stunned me to the bone marrow. I was bound to get horny, and I usually wanked off or spent the night with Diana. I had assumed Alana might have hooked up with other guys behind my back. Not that I cared, but I felt a funny tug in my heart when she blurted out that for three years straight since we last made love, she had to depend on kinky sex toys.
Alana had a very different aura around her tonight and carried herself about with an air of confidence that loudly proclaimed that she wasn’t scared of what I was going to do with her.
But after everything, nothing still changes the way I feel about Diana. Alana was once my best friend, all thick crimson red hair and oceanic blue eyes, she looked a fucking mermaid. But Diana, to me, she was a goddess with her strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes. She was everything Alana was not and that’s why I fell in love with her.
But the moon goddess decided to toy with fate and gave me the wrong person as my mate. My Late father who was Alpha then had forbidden me from rejecting her, and even though he was dead now, I couldn’t reject Alana as easily as I would have. Not unless I had a reason to do so.
I loved Alana as a friend, and that’s all she ever was, but when I realized we were mates and there was no getting rid of her, I just grew to hate her. I saw her as the barrier in my way of being with Diana, and I made sure she experienced the hurt and pain I felt each day.
Alana was beautiful, I wouldn’t lie. But even when we always had intercourse, I felt nothing. She had a beautiful body.. she was everything a man would want in a woman, and even if I could never bring myself to tell her that, I did let her know that truthfully, her body did nothing to me.
Soon, I found myself going to Diana to relieve myself of my sexual frustration. Even though I didn’t like Alana, I usually felt that we were doing something wrong, but I was so consumed by my love for Diana and the utmost pleasure she gave me whenever we made love to each other that I couldn’t help myself.
Not until last month, she handed me the test sheet and I saw she was already three months gone. My first reaction was apprehensiveness. I wondered what will happen If Alana found out. Because after the meeting I had with the elders, they said the only way they were letting Diana bear the child as my rightful heir was if Alana allowed Diana to be the second Luna. If not, Diana would birth the child out of wedlock.
But I was also happy that my first child was going to be birthed by the woman I loved, so I had to break the news much sooner than I wanted to Alana.
The sooner she could agree, the sooner I could mark Diana so she could be mine and bear my child safely.
But things didn’t turn out exactly as I planned. How was I going to get Alana to agree to this? I was contemplating talking to my Gamma, Caleb, but ever since I let Diana up in my mansion and on the same floor as me, he had distanced himself from me, only acting as my Gamma and nothing else.
I was sure he hated me, seeing as he was quite over protective of Alana, but he was the only one who’d be able to convince her to concede to this.
Suddenly, I hear foot stalls on the stairs and glanced up from where I had my sat thoughtfully in the dining, my elbows on the table as I leaned forward.
Diana.
“Hey…” Her voice was soft and comforting as she sat across from me on the dinning, stretching her shoulders forward to put her hand over my arm.
“Hey.” I slowly grabbed her hand and placed it against my cheek, feeling comfort from her touch, her soft tender skin against mine was enough to put me at ease.
Diana looked nervous, contemplating what to say at that moment, her lower lip between her teeth.
“Alana looked very angry when we met upstairs…”
I suddenly turned alert and squeezed her hand a bit too tightly.
“Did .. did she do anything to you?!”
Diana just shook her head. She looked like she wanted to deny something, but she just sighed and looked at me with worry in her eyes.
“She just pushed me, but I managed to get up on my feet before I rolled down the stairs. But…” Suddenly my eyes turned blood shot as I got up in a flash. I could tolerate Alana’s rampant attitude, but I would not tolerate it if she dared hurt Diana. She heard she was pregnant, and the next minute she tried to push her down the stairs? How dare she? Did she know the precautions of what she just did?
I will rip her head out her body, and I didn’t care about the consequences. This was really low, even for someone like Alana. Was she really going to be a threat to Diana now?
LUCIAN’S POVI freeze and turn when I felt a soft, small hand wrapped around mine, sending soothing shivers up my spine.My eyes met with Diana’s obsidian black eyes before she patted the back of my palm tenderly.“You know how Alana can be when she’s angry.. so please let her be. I’m sure she’ll be over it by tomorrow.”“She knows you’re pregnant and the first thing she tries to do is kill you? Do you think that’s forgiveable Diana? I could have lost you and the baby or either one of you.”Diana looked horrified, and I was sure she hadn’t known that Alana knew about us or about her pregnancy until now.“H- how did she find out.” Her voice was now a hushed whisper, like she was expecting Alana to step out of the shadows.“I had to tell her, Diana. Remember the meeting with the elders? I can’t have you bear my child out of wedlock.”“Well, with how things went with you two, I don’t think she’s willing to accept me as her co-Luna.” Diana shrugged dejectedly and that fueled up the hate a
ALANA'S POVMy eyes widened on meeting his, and he happened to see how shocked and frightened I was, because the moment I scooched back against the door, he leaned back. I turned to see what I was sitting up against, and when I saw the door, It brought back so many memories that I ended up covering my face in embarassment. He must have seen the tears and must have realized that I'm just a pathetic person who's strong on the outside and pretended not to be hurt by his actions, when I actually come into my room to bitch and mourn over him. "Are you okay? I was worried when I wanted to come in and check in on you, so I followed through the window… " I blinked when I heard him speak, and just for a second, I pinched myself internally to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Maybe it was Caleb but I was just visualizing him as Lucian. But it's not like I was blind. I could clearly see Lucian kneeling right Infront of me with worry in his eyes as he looked at me, probably waiting for an answer.
ALANA'S POV "Apologize? Did we fight?" I chuckle like I was crazy as I said to him. Help me moon goddess, I had already forgotten everything that had happened Tonight. He looked at me warily like I had already gone mad, but soon, he led me to the bed, and I giggle like a high school girl as I drop down on my back while he held me down and pulled my shoes off. Once he was done, I lay there and watched as he stood over me and began taking off his shirt. It was so mighty darn attractive watching my muscles flex without any effort as he drew the shirt down his body and tossed it to the ground. And the way his muscular contours contracted.. fuck! I was getting wet staring at him already.Arghh! I hated him so much.. why did he have to be so handsome and have such an amazing body I knew I couldn't have because he didn't even like me. I could have the best figure in the world and he wouldn't be attracted to me. "Lucian… " I suddenly call out, dramatically placing my hand against my fore
ALANA'S POVHe tried to pull me back, but I drew closer with a smirk on my face. "Hey… you wanted to spend the night here with me right? So what's the big deal if I want us to fuck right now?" "Alana, you're drunk.. " "And horny.. " I cut in abruptly. "what? Are you nervous? Are you worried that what we're doing is considered cheating since you have a another woman who is pregnant with your child.. " He tried to speak, but I placed a finger against his lips with my lips pouted as I whispered. "Shhh… you don't have to say anything." I drew my hand down and slowly leaned forward so that our lips were barely an inch apart, my eyes slowly scanned him right from his dark blue eyes down to his lips. "This can be our little secret okay?" And without warning, I grad the back of his neck and pull him in closer for a kiss, taking him off guard. When I finally got a taste of his lips again which I had gotten a taste of on very rare occasions, I exploded. My wetness was running down my legs
Alana’s POVMy eyes were awaken by the sudden ray of the sun that bounced off my face, I placed my hand over my eyes while trying to adjust to the sudden brightness that filled my room,I rolled to the other end of my bed and just as I had thought Lucian had left me after such a good night, I began to wonder if I was a fool to let him have sex with me but then again I enjoyed every moment of his fingers caressing my clitros and the feeling of his dick filling the void of my pussy that I had long to fill.“Hey beautiful.” I was stunned at whose voice I heard and the word that was said, I turned in shock, I was shocked that my nose did not just pick up his scent from the surroundings. “My love how was your night?!.” He asked, my eyes fluttering in shock, was this some kind of a dream?!, or was it a nightmare that was going to turn bad the moment I believed or was it true?.“Are you okay?!.” He approached me, I watched him walk in slow motion. It was like my wildest dream was coming alive
Alana’s POVWe arrived at the river bank and a picnic was set up, I could already see them both fallin all over each other, my stomach grumble loudly, I could tell I was hungry and at the same time I was angry to see her with him.I walked ahead of them and took the best spot as my sit .“Alana, can you please move to the side so Diana can sit there?!.” My eyes widened. What was this?.A date for both of them?.“She can sit elsewhere.” I frowned at him and rolled my eyes.“No she can’t!!.” His beast was growling at me loudly, my head spinned and began to ache.I may have been with them physically but my mind was far away as I meditated on what Caleb had said, maybe he was right, maybe I shouldn’t be here, what if this was all a set up?. With thoughts swimming in my head see and my mind collapsing and restructuring; I could not find the possible answer to all my thoughts, my wolf was restless just as I was.‘I hope I am not in the lion's den.’ I thought.“Alanna…, Alanna!!.” I heard th
Alana's POVIt has been two days since I got thrown out like a thief from the pack where my mate was supposed to lead.Lucian didn't even look twice at me as I was hauled out; worse still was the one I had once taken pride in and called my best friend.My crime was going in search of people that would help him after she had thrown him in there.The more I thought of what had happened that day the more suspicious it looked.Lucien was happy with me, he acted so calm and cool…I had my suspicions but then the shitty mate bond made me let my guard down.Tears spilled down freely from my eyes like they had done ever since my status was changed from the Luna of my pack to a rogue on the run.Never have I felt this lonely in life, the hate and betrayal still stung like hell. Being overthrown by the pack that I was supposed to rule as their Luna.No one even believed me, no one even stared at me twice and gave me a reassuring smile.Even Lucian, the one I was supposed to call my Mate, the one
ALANA’S POV. I tried to open my eyes but can’t as my head reeled badly, my body sore from the everyday run and hunt for food.Ahhhhh!.I heard a loud scream, a scream so painful and deafening to the ear. I brought my right palm closer to my forehead to feel my temperature and paused, my hand hurting and hanging midway. I felt something strapped around my right wrist and try to wave it off with my left to find out it was the same too. I quickly tore my eyes apart and gasped, the sight in front of me, sending shivers through my spine. The whole place was dark, so dark that the only lights visible was that emanating from the fires sitting in the sticks on the wall. I looked around to figure out where I was since I could remember vividly passing out in the woods.But this wasn’t the woods. It was like I had teleported somewhere else or maybe to the past where slavery was so rampant or maybe this was a bad dream I was stuck in.I heard the loud screech again, this time I was able to ma
