NEON's perspective
I felt hurt by her words, how could she reject my love? Can’t she see how patient I am with her? That she’s the only woman I can ever love.But what, would never fall in love with me?I, Alpha Neon of Moonlight Pack have never failed once and never would, not in love or any other aspect.I have been anxious around her and was cautious with my words and what to say to her, whatever I say seems to annoy her or make her angry.I did not know the sedative we gave her would be too much for her.I was reckless and almost hurt mate with my actions. I was worried sick when she was asleep, praying to the moon goddess to forgive my recklessness and save her.When I walked into her room and saw her standing by the window, I felt a rush of adrenaline.She had no idea how intoxicated her scent is when she’s around me, and how Jax is purring in excitement at our closeness.He couldn’t wait to mark her and claim her as ours.If she could reject my love now, what if I told her that she was my mate and in my territory? And the kind of world that I live in, and my identity as a werewolf.How would she take them?How would she react when she find out?Run away and recognize us as a beast?‘We have to tell her and I’m sure she will understand.’ Jax had advised.‘No Jax. We can’t tell her, there’s no way she would understand, she's different from us. She probably thinks I’m a beast that’s hunting for his prey’ I argued with him.‘She might not be entirely wrong.’ He teased.‘Not you too, Jax.’She’s human and I’m not.Her existence was a threat to me, I do not want her to be exposed to my world.“Why would I regret it?” She scoffed and shook her head. “I already regret meeting you! If I had gone home that night, I would have never met you!” She was yelling, and it was hurting me to see her that way.Can’t she see how much I adore her? I never chose to hurt her.“Just leave me alone.” He huffed irritably.I remained standing and did not move an inch from my spot.“Just go! Leave me the fuck alone! Get out!” She screamed.“Leave me alone!”“What are you going to eat? I would ask the—“ I tried to touch her, I want to have my arms around her and whisper soothing words to her.“I said leave me alone! If you are not going to send me home, then leave me alone.” She shouted and swept her hair off her face with her hand with her back against me.I dropped my hand, and let them fall to my side.“You have a lot to say with those pretty mouths of yours. I will send food then, you must be hungry, and we will have this conversation when you are ready to talk to me.” I turned and walked out of the room without sparing her another glance.She had no idea how worried I was, and how I was trying to keep her safe and make sure the pack members were not aware that she was my mate.An Alpha must not show any of his emotions, I can not tell her what I feel the least I could do was show her, how badly I needed her to be here with me.I went down to my study room, which was close to her room, threw the door open, and pushed off everything that was on my table.I groaned.She had no idea how frustrated I was. All I wanted was to find my mate, love her, and protect her.I was happy I found her, staying beside her excites me and scares me as well.What if she doesn’t accept my true form?What if she doesn’t love me?I want to get closer to her, I want to know more about her.I exhaled deeply and plopped down on the chair with my elbows on the table. I reached out for the bottle of alcohol, it wasn’t the usual whisky the humans take it was mixed with wolfsbane.I uncapped and poured them into a glass and chugged it down my throat.I took another shot, to calm my nerves.‘What should I do Jax?’ I muttered to my wolf and exhaled.I did not want to force myself on her.I want to make her fall in love with me the right way but I don’t know how.How can I make a human fall in love with me?A werewolf.A knock came on the door disrupting my thoughts.“Alpha.”“Can I come in?”“Come in, Silas.”He entered the room and his eyes went round the room, the papers on the floor and the crack on the wall.“Alpha...” He drawled.I raised a hand to stop him, I wasn’t ready to listen to his nagging.“Something happened didn’t it?” He pulled out a chair and sat down with his hand folded in front of his chest.“She said she would never fall in love with me,” I said with a defeated sigh.“Alpha, I’m sure your looks scare her, if I wasn’t your Beta and close friend I wouldn’t get close to you. Be nicer to her, Alpha.”“I gave her a killer smile, Silas! What else can I do?” I asked with awful patience and slammed my fist on the table.Silas frowned at me. “Maybe you weren’t real.”“Fuck, Silas. I was real to her. I want to show her how much I cherish each moment that we spent together.”“You ain’t being real.” Silas choked on a laugh and shook his head slightly at me.“You are being in haste, slow down, else she’s going to hate you.”“I’m being patient and she already hates me.” I grit out and throw my hands in the air.“It has only been a day.” He waves a finger on my face.I rolled my eyes at him.It didn’t feel like a day to me.Silas stood and began to pick up a few of the paperwork on the ground and place them back on the table.If I showed too many emotions, I would be regarded as a weak-hearted Alpha by the pack elders and it was not needed in the leadership of a pack.I promised myself that I would not lead the pack the same way my father did and how he died shamefully.I sheered the thought off my head and focused on Silas still picking some of the papers from the ground and arranging them on the table.“Have the servant give her some food. No, you do it. Get her something to eat.” I ordered and tapped my fingers on the table.He stopped and spun around to face me, I raised a brow at him studying his sudden haggard face.“The reason I came here was because...” He pressed his lips into a thin lip and lowered his gaze.“The thing is...” He smacked his lips together.“What?” I growled, Jax and I were getting impatient already.We hated this about Silas.“I went into her room earlier, and she wasn’t there, I thought you took her out of the room with you. That’s why I came here to check if you brought her to the study.” Silas grimaced.“What are you trying to say?” My anger rose rapidly.“She wasn’t in the room.” He rushed his words. “I think she has run away.”“Silas!” I shouted.I ran my hand down my face, pushed the chair backward, and stood up. I grabbed my jacket from the rack and wore it.‘She hasn’t gone far, she must have run out when we left.’ Jax muttered.‘Remind me to lock her in her room when we find her, Jax. I will smack her ass when I get her.’“That should have been the first thing you should have said to me!”“I’m sorry. Alpha.” He rubbed the back of his neck.“...Alpha...”“Get the guard to clean up the mess and come with me!”She can run, but she can’t hide from me.ARIA's perspectiveI watched him leave.When he was gone, I locked the door and hurried to find my shoes. It was placed beside the bed, I put them on.I ran to the window and looked down. It was the second floor, why did he lie that I was on the fourth floor?Did he think that would stop me from escaping?He got to be kidding.If I could get on the roof and slide down and land on my butt, it wouldn’t hurt, right?I just have to give it a try.I need to get home and away from him and these people!I climbed over the window and walked carefully on the roof, then I sat down on the edge of the roof and pushed my hands back.Striking myself to fall on the ground, I did not fall on my butt as I had thought but ended up falling on my stomach and face.Fuck!I winced in pain but forced myself up, peeping quickly if someone had heard me fall and was coming after me.I didn’t see anyone, neither was the front door opened.Maybe they have agreed to let me go, which sane man would build a mansion
NEON's perspective“...who are you?”My chest burned within and my throat was tight as I tried to keep my emotions from erupting, I ground my teeth and ignored her question.‘Bring the silver handcuff.’ I mind-linked Silas.‘On it, Alpha.’ His response came almost immediately.I took the handcuffs from his hands when he came close, he retreated his footsteps.I spun and grabbed her left hand.“What are you doing?” There was a slight panic in her voice when I took her hand. I grazed her wrist with my fingers and handcuffed her hand to the bed.“Making sure this doesn’t happen again.” I let go of her hand when I was done. “Stop struggling with it, you will end up getting hurt.”“Why do you care?” She spat angrily, her icy glare fixed on my face.“Keeping you safe from all harm is my priority. I can’t let you get hurt. That’s all you should know.” I held her gaze, my hands placed on both sides of the bed beside her.“Are you ready to talk to me now? Why did you run away? You should have
NEON's perspectiveI stood up from the bed, marched down to the door, grabbed Diana by her wrist and dragged her out of the room, let the door slam shut behind me.“Neon!”I glowered at Diana, she was wearing a grey pantsuit a lavender silk blouse, and matching heels. Her blonde hair was smoothed into an elegant chignon. I wonder where she was coming from all dressed up.“Come with me, now.” I took in a deep breath to calm my agitation.She was struggling with me to let go of her wrist, surreptitiously, stealing glances through the door of Aria’s room.“Let go, Neon!” She yanked her hand free from my hold and rubbed her wrist while glaring at me.“Come with me. Quietly.” I ordered.“I deserve some respect too, Neon. Don’t you think I deserve to know what’s going on?”“Come with me,” I repeated my words and started to walk down to the study.She stormed her feet on the ground murmured inaudible words, and followed the path down to the study room.“Close the door.”“You are unbelievable
DIANA's perspectiveI have been working hard for the pack and this was how he decides to pay me, after everything that I have done?The crowning ceremony was a couple of days away and he’s going to make her, a human girl his Luna?He was choosing her over me.It’s been just a few days she has been here and Neon has completely forgotten about me.His affection for her grows stronger by the day, how he talks about her and the way he calls her name.I thought he would one day, look at me that way, call me his Luna, and accept me as his chosen mate.But.I was nothing to him, the years we had spent together building and straightening the pack meant nothing to him, all that matters is his mate, a silly human.The leverage I have over her is that she’s human, she could not stand a chance against me who has the blood of a Beta and a strong wolf.My father died while protecting Neon, that was how I was chosen to be his Luna.I have lived with Neon ever since, I know everything about the pack
ARIA's perspectiveThe lady, the one who came to visit me just now, was gorgeous and I loved everything about her, tall with straightened blonde hair she wore a pantsuit and a lavender blouse. She looked confident and young.A few minutes later she came back as she promised.She had talked with the master and brought the keys to the handcuffs along with her.When she said Neon wasn’t as he seems, I believe her, he looked rather mysterious.I had to find out if there was some illegal business going on in the mansion.“You never haven’t told me your name.”“It’s Diana.” She smiled.I wonder how she could smile in such a situation but her smile was beautiful.She took the handcuff off my hand.“There, you are free.” She dropped the handcuffs on the bedside table. “You are not going to run again, are you?”“Not without your help.” I grinned.“Thank you, Diana.”“Good night, Aria. I will see you tomorrow.”I nodded with a smile and watched her leave the room.I was glad that there was some
NEON's perspective“You are mine, I meant what I said.”She scoffed in disbelief, picked up her fork, and started eating, avoiding my gaze.I placed my hand on my jaw and watched her eat, Diana excused herself and left the dining area, she didn’t come back to the dining and I didn’t ask her why she left.“Why do you keep staring at me?” Aria stopped eating and tilted her to the side, staring at me.“You need to eat more Aria.” I urged.“Why does that feel like some order?” She narrowed her gaze at me.“I’m full.” She replied stubbornly.He shook my head at her, she barely ate anything.“You will finish your meal. I want you to add some weight. It seems you haven’t been eating. If you have been eating, you won’t have been at this park with a plate in yo—“She stabbed her fork noisily on her meal with a side glare. Her jaw slightly gritted, I chuckled, and she amuses me.“Ain’t you going to eat?” I asked.She twitched her lips, I dragged her out of the chair made her sit on my lap, and
NEON's perspective“Silas that way, Gemma! To the left!” I yelled in the woods when we caught some of the rogues.We ran after them, I ran faster when I let Jax out, and I knew if I had to catch those rogues I had to shift.My bones cracked as I ran, I grew bigger, my ears became longer, my claws came out, and my fangs. The clothes tore off my body, and Jax surged forward, running after the rogue. One of them was running in the direction of my house. I hastened up. I had to get him before he got closer to where the mansion was.It never occurred to me why he was running to the mansion, leaving the other rogues behind.‘Faster Jax.’ I growled.There haven’t been rogues in the pack for a long time.‘Alpha, we couldn’t find him.’ My Gemma said through the mind link.I snarled. ‘Find the mole, search everywhere, search every house in the pack if you have to. Find him.’‘Yes, Alpha.’I closed the mind link and focused on the running rogue.The pack can’t be in danger not now that mate was
ARIA's perspectiveDiana was right, she’s the only one I can trust now. She told me I shouldn’t trust him, and I had almost fallen for his charms.It was getting late and Neon wasn’t home after he left the house in the morning, I had some tea with Diana in the bedroom, and she wanted us to take some cool air on the balcony. She spends the whole day together, having random talks.Then, we went out to the balcony, she went to the kitchen to get some late-night snacks when I caught a glimpse of something in the woods.At first, I saw the trees moving and something running. I leaned closer, I saw the glowing eyes in the dark and a body lying on the ground will blood around it. He stood up, his sharp teeth bared forth, and ears longer than normal.I gasped and moved away from the railings.He moved closer, and that was when I saw his face, and his body clothed with blood.It was Neon.That was the same man standing in front of me right now, pleading that he wasn’t going to hurt me.Bullshi
