Don't Poke the Luna (Xena and Ryder)

Xena's POV

"Exactly right. I ordered that baby killed. My biggest regret is that I didn't do it myself when I saw the little bastard, but that's another story wear. Taney managed to notify her boyfriend, and together they got the child out. It took me years to find that child and be able to track her down

I'm confused. If you were after Penelope, why dig tunnels to Alpha Benedict's pack?"

"Well, that's the key question." Alpha Wiley stood up and began pacing. "You see, Penelope's father was working with that lovely spy. They've been working together for Alpha Benedict for decades. Sneaky little bastards. When my stupid son wanted to use Rogues, he asked Tom to hire some people to create an impact. Tom was still playing both sides, having Jericho - that's his name, by the way organize an attack to kidnap you. We were originally going to use you to trade for Penelope, but..." Alpha Wiley glared angrily at Tatum. "This is why we don't fucking use rogues!"

"Let me get this straight. The tunnels were built as a future plan to take down Alpha Benedict when the time was right, because you've been trying to catch Jericho for years. So you decided to kidnap me to trade for Penelope, kill her, and let Tatum take over the Alpha position? That would draw out lencho for you to kill, and since Penelope is now mated to Logan, you'd get three packs."

"Years of planning coming together beautifully, isn't it wonderful?*

"Plans change," Tatum stood up. "After seeing you, I want you as a mate. If I kill Ryder, I'll be appointed Alpha of that pack right now without having to launch a full attack, or we can still do it that way."

"So in short, kill Penelope, Ryder, and Logan to gain this entire region for yourself," I clarified.

"Correct. Alpha Wiley smiled. "I need your blood serum, my dear. You possess Alpha bloodline, exceptional intelligence, and you're a future Luna. You're simply the perfect candidate."

My heart hammered against my ribs as I stared at him in disbelief. "What the hell do you need my blood serum for?"

I've developed a super soldier serum," he explained with the enthusiasm of a mad scientist. 'It can be injected into warriors to enhance all aspects of their capabilities strength, speed, endurance, intelligence. The serum requires both Alpha and Luna blood to be effective. Our experiments have been failing consistently, and I believe the problem lies with the quality of the other Luna serums we've been using."

Tatum stepped closer, his chest puffed out with pride. "This is groundbreaking work, Xena. You should feel honored to be part of it."

I couldn't help but laugh, the sound sharp and mocking in the room. "Let me guess the Alpha serum comes from your brilliant son here?" I jerked my chin toward Tatum.

Before Alpha Wiley could respond, Tatum jumped in eagerly. "Yes! That's right! My blood is the foundation of this entire project!" His face practically glowed with arrogant satisfaction.

My laughter became even more derisive. "So you automatically assume it's not the Alpha serum that's flawed? How convenient. The sarcasm dripped from every word like acid.

Both Alpha Wiley and Tatum's faces darkened, their expressions turning murderous. Tatum's hands clenched into fists, and I could see the vein pulsing in Alpha Wiley's temple.

After a tense moment, Alpha Wiley forced his fake smile back into place, though his eyes remained cold as winter. "You know, Xena, I have a proposition for you. Become my son's mate. When we conquer all three packs, you can rule alongside us. Think of the power, the influence you'd wield."

"Yes!" Tatum moved closer, his hands reaching for my waist. "We'd be unstoppable together. You'd be a Luna queen."

His touch made my skin crawl, and when his fingers started wandering lower, something inside me snapped. I couldn't stand Tatum' anymore. This crossed the line of my tolerance. My hand moved faster than my brain could think - L slapped Tatum hard across the disgusting hands off me!" I snarled.

This time, Alpha Wiley didn't intervene. He simply watched with interest as Tatum's face contorted with rage.

"You little bitch!" Tatum roared, and before I could react, his fist drove into my abdomen with brutal force.

The air rushed from my lungs as agony exploded through my torso. I doubled over, gasping, my knees hiffing the cold floor. Pafn radiated from the impact point, making my vision blur with tears I refused to let fall.

"Now, let's see how long your defiance lasts," Alpha Wiley said casually.

The screens around the room flickered to life, and my blood turned to ice. The first screen showed Tom still strapped to the electric chair, his body convulsing as electricity coursed through him. His skin was burned and blistered, sweat and blood mixing on his tortured face as silent screams tore from his throat. His eyes had rolled back, showing only the whites.
