Longing For My Rejected Luna

*****Alex's POV*****

"I can not believe this happening!" I was confused. I had no idea what to do.

The pack was in disarray, many of our pack members were either dead or injured, young pups were not excluded. Noir was still insisting we had wronged him. That Moon Forest had attacked first, but how possible was that?

I could not trust anything that shady Hart said. He was well known for a lot of things and kindness was far from those things. Honesty was not on the list either.

The fight that had taken place in his pack the day before had been the toughest I'd ever been in.

Widely known for his brutality, he was also known not to let go of any fight that had him involved. He would not rest until the pack was no longer in existence or he plundered and took over. And he was strong. Strong because his pack was the second.

The fight had resulted in a lot of dead men from both our end, I'd almost lost my Beta. He had given his best and fought as toughly as any strong Beta would but he'd been outnumbered, even at that, he had held his own until someone had driven a knife into his side.

Now he was in the hospital getting treatment. He was the reason I'd told my men to fall back and we had to take him back to our pack. I could not keep fighting with him in that situation - almost bleeding out. They would have gotten him worse and killed him.

Beta Gage was too good to die just like that and his mate, Paula, would never forgive me. But when they had attacked in the early hours of this morning, I'd lost more men than I could count and I knew that this was not a fight I could win alone but how would I go about it? I needed help but who would be willing to help me?

I was currently pacing my room, I had sustained some injury on my left arm. Noir's wolf had tried to use his fangs on me but thankfully, I had quickly moved out of the way before he could sink his fangs in and do more damage.

The area had been cleaned and wrapped with bandage but I knew this fight was far from over. Noir would keep coming until there was nothing left of us, he would not relent and I would not wait until that happened. I was not going to lose my family's legacy and let the people my father had ruled peacefully and had protected die just like that.

There was possibly a way out and I was going to find it. I needed to form alliance, that was the only way but I needed a strong pack to form this alliance. No matter what it would cost me, protecting my pack and retaining my legacy were far more important.

"Calm down, Alex." Seren came to me, soothing me.

"Calm down?! How can you tell me to calm down, Seren? Look at the pack. Look at my Beta, the men I'd lost. He started this. I believe this has been his plan all along. To find a way to start a war while blaming me for crossing his boundary first. He had probably been eyeing my pack, he wants to pillage and take it as he had done others.” I ran a frustrated hand through my hair, my head was pounding as helpless fury coursed through my body.

"I know but maybe we should try to understand what started all of this, you know. It's not good to just jump into conclusion." She reasoned.

But I was far into my own head to actually listen to what she was saying. All I was looking for now was a way out, a way out of this situation.

The door opened and my mother walked inside, she seemed very angry. "What is this, Alexander?!"

"What is what?" I was not in the mood for any of her annoying theatrics right now but for the sake of being my mother, I was going to listen to whatever she was angry about.

"You're letting those bastard win this war! I lost my friend. She was among the people they had pillaged their homes and murdered. Why, Alexander?! Why?"

"Stop raising your voice at me, mother!" My anger flared and I forgot she was my mother or I didn't just care. "I'm doing my best, can't you see that?!"

"Your best is not good enough." She screamed at me, then she turned to Seren. Did you not tell him that?! He's not holding up the packdike his father did."

That made me very angry. How insulting for her to say that! "Like my father did you say? Who has been making sure everything was in place for years now?! Ever since I can remember, Luna Bella, is that you're one very selfish person. If it has not affected you, it doesn't concern you. Look at my Beta, the same Beta that has protected and saved your life more times than I can count especially if I'm away on a business trip. He's lying on the hospital, you have never asked of him. How

My words were cut off by a slap to my face. She had slapped me. Elijah roared

and growled. "Get out."noveldrama

"And what will you..."

"Get out!!"

She jolted in shock, fear crossing her features. Without attempting to say another word to me, she left. I kicked a low stool and punched the wall in great ire.

"You should have taken it easy on your mother, Alex." Seren quietly said.

The glare I pierced her with was enough to make her swallow whatever words she had to say. She sighed, then moved closer to hold me.

I moved back. "Get out." I ordered.

"But I'm..."

I seethed. "Are you deaf?!"

She flinched, her eyes widening in alarming fright. With a calm expression, she nodded and left.

I resisted the urge to throw more things. I needed help and there was only one place to go ask for it. IronClaw pack.
