THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

Reign’S POV

After the endless catching up with Tasha, Alpha Damien finally instructed his Beta and a few other guards to take me Goodland and they did.

It was a long tiring ride but the moment we stepped into the gates of the beautiful city of Goodland, my tiredness dissolved and right now, I can’t help but admire everything that’s going on. I have never seen a place where everyone looks so happy and so many festivals are going on at the same time.

What freaks me out the most is that as I pass, every one who sees me bows and smiles before moving on and right now I feel like cutting my head so I can take off the necklace, but if I do, then I’m dead!

I just have to deal with it and keep smiling at the hundreds of people who keep bowing as I pass.

“So, what exactly is going on right now?” I ask the Beta who seems to be just about the same age with Hardin and Damien.

“Well, Luna. This is Goodland and there’s a feast every blessed day. Some call this place the land of milk and honey, the land of festivals, the land of freewill and good and every other nice title that comes to your mind.”

“Wow, is it really true that there’s zero crime and evil here?”

“That is true Luna”

“Wow”

“So, do you have any palace on your mind where you will live?”

“Well, I need to locate some relatives of an old friend”

“What was his name?”

“Sean Michael”

“One minute” He says as he walks towards man who seems to be buying a toy for his children.

He engages in a short conversation with the man who seems very polite and that warms heart.

The people are nice indeed. I hear the Beta thank him as he walks over to us with a smile plastered on his.

“That wasn’t so hard”

“Did he know him?”

“That mentor of yours seemed to be quite popular. The man gave the directions to the family house, I’m sure we are going to meet a few of his relatives there”

“I hope we do”

“You will, if he always spoke about this place that means he has lived here before”

“Oh… I didn’t know that. I always just thought he wanted to visit this place for the first time”

“That does seem to be the case.”

I quietly follow him along the rowdy road with the other guards and he leads us to a neighborhood that seems pretty quiet. We walk along the streets of the upscale neighborhood that has different designs of houses side by side, all mighty and beautiful and I’m actually amazed. The design is quite different from that of normal pack houses which always just got identical house designs, except for the high rankings though.

The houses of the Alpha, Beta and Gamma are always different.

“Over there” the Beta announces as he leads us to a big mansion that is surrounded by a well cut lawn and beautiful flowers.

Immediately, my heart starts hammering in my chest as we walk towards the door.

This people lost member of their family because of me, I wonder if they are going to welcome me in their home.

Once we get to the door, the Beta knocks and stands protectively in front of me. Soon, the door is opened by a smiling woman, whose smile only widens when she sees us.

“Hello, how may I help you?” She asks politely and I step upfront and immediately she sees me, she bows her head down.

“Luna!”

Fuck!

This is very frustrating.

“Please raise up your head” I plead and she instantly raises up her head.

“Are you the relatives of Sean Michael?” I ask calmly.

“Yes Luna, we are!”

“Oh, thank goodness. I don’t know if you know this but about fourteen years ago, he was hired by a rich Colonel of the Wall Street pack to train his daughter…”

“Luna, I’m sorry to interrupt you, but the Moon goddess will strike me dead if I let you stand out here for another minute. Please came inside, all of you” She begs as she makes way for us to get it.

“Go ahead Luna, we can’t stay”

“Why not?”

“Our mission was to bring you here safely, right now we need to retire out packs to resume our duties, that’s if it pleases you of course” He speaks with his head bowed down and I fight my urge to cry.

I don’t like the formalities.

“Thank you all so much for bringing me here safely. You all can be on your way now”

“Thank you Luna” He thanks and the all turn in their heels and walk away. I turn to the woman who immediately bows her head.

“Please, don’t now down your head in my presence”

“But you are the Paramount Luna”

“I know, but this is an order, I don’t want you bowing your head down in my presence”

“Yes Luna”

“Thank you.” I thank her as I walk into the house and I’m amazed at how organized and colorful it is. The living room is not all that big, but it’s very classy and almost full with people.

Once they all turn to look at who just got in and see me, everyone rises to their feet

“Please, please, I beg you! No body bows, no body calls me Luna, nobody treats me like I’m some goddess, my name Reign and I’m a normal werewolf like you, so please treat me as such” I plead and the entire living room goes silent.

Everyone seems to be contemplating on whether they should do listen to me or not.

“Hello Reign” A young girl of about nine greets with a sweet smile and I smile at her too. The last time I saw a nine year old girl was when I looked at my nine year-old self in the mirror about nine years ago.

She’s so beautiful and I badly want to hug her.

“Hello pretty girl. How are doing?”

“I’m fine thank you”

“That’s nice to hear. What’s your name?”

“Lily”

“Lily, that’s a beautiful name for a beautiful little girl. It’s nice to meet you Lily”

“Nice to meet you too”

I snap my head and look at everyone else who still haven’t said a word

“I honestly feel like I’m not welcomed here” I say faking a sad look at that does the trick.

“Oh no, that’s not it, we are all just shocked to have you in our home, it’s actually overwhelming. Please have a seat!” A guy of about my age explains as he shows me a empty seat and I walk over to it and sit down.

“Please seat everyone”

“Thank you”

“So, how do you know Uncle Sean?”

“He was my mentor for about fourteen years”

“Mentor?”

“It’s a long ugly story I don’t want to talk about.”

“I’m sorry for asking”

“Come on, it’s fine”

“Luna, we heard all what happened and we have moved on. We can only hope that he rests in peace”

“He sure does”

“So what is the Paramount Luna doing here, if I may ask?”

“Well, as we all know, a lot has transpired between Hardin and I, so I have come here to clear my head. I don’t know if you all can welcome me into your home for a few weeks”

“Of course Luna, you are welcome to stay here for as long as you want!”

“Can I ?”

“Yeah, it’s such an honor to have you here”

“Thank you all so much”

“You are welcome”

“Tracy, I need you and your brother to go up now and prepare the guest room for Luna Reign”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“I’m on it” Tracy replies enthusiastically as she gets up and leaves.

“And I will go get you something to eat” She says as she leaves the living room.

This is a new start for me!
