THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

Hardin’S POV

The news hit me so hard, that I had to forget that I had ever heard the word Elemental before. I have read the “Battle of the Elementals” which happens to be my favorite book and it has what Miguel told me about and as I grew up, my father kept narrating to me stories about these battles, but he was never really sure if it was real, but after listening to what the elders at Goodland explained to me, now I’m convinced that it’s real.

The Elemental Battle is not a myth like I had always believed, it is actually a real battle that has just begun and I have to brace myself for it.

Most Alphas will conspire against me to win this battle and take my position as Paramount Alpha for the next one thousand years, but I’m not going to let that happen. It’s a good thing I have finally succeeded in winning Reign over, now I can take on this battle with no worries.

I have an army of very loyal soldiers, I have weapons, I have my Beta and above all, I have my Luna by my side. I have everything I need to go for this battle and win and I’m going to do just that.

Coltons have been the Paramount Alphas for as long as I can remember and it’s going to remain that way, I am not going to fail my ancestors!

Once we get to the castle, Reign and I go over to my office where we meet Miguel, Clark and another older man seated in the sitting area.

Let the war begin.

“Good morning Alpha, Luna” They all greet in unison with their heads bowed down.

“Good morning” That’s Reign, I don’t even have time to reply, I walk over to the wine bar and as I attempt to hold a bottle of wine, I shatters into pieces, giving me numerous cuts that heal instantly, every one looks at me in awe.

“When did you become so powerful” Miguel asks shocked.

“Since this morning”

“These are signs that there’s a war coming up” The older man speak and I look at him surprised, wondering who the hell he is.

“And you are?”

“Forgive me Alpha, this is my uncle, Leonard. He suddenly became a seer, or something”

“A seer?” I ask in shock.

“You marked the Luna yesterday, that’s why these powers have been awakened. This is the Elemental Battle, the battle of the millennium and it is as intense as it sounds. There’s a lot of special powers that are still to be unveiled”

“Like the Water, Air and Earth Elementals?”

“Exactly! The moon goddess doesn’t just reveal everything about this battle at once, it comes bit by bit.”

“Wow! I’m freaking out” Reign says in fear and I just hold her by myside.

Even I am freaking out but I have to act tough for everyone else. I’m the Alpha and I can’t afford to let them sense any fear or uncertainty in me.

“So, when will all these powers be unlocked?” Clark asks.

“When you two finally mate” He states and the entire room goes dead silent. Even if a pin was to drop on the floor right now, it’s sound will be heard.

“Oh…” Reign exclaims.

“Yes, when the two of you finally mate, the rest of the powers will be unveiled and the two you will have all those powers combined.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Wait, like Reign and I will both be Fire, water, air and earth Elementals all together”

“Exactly!”

“Wow, but how is this even a battle when we both seem to be way stronger than the rest? We can finish them off in a single battle”

“Don’t get too excited Alpha, the other Alphas know about this and they are going to strategize perfectly for this battle and if you have to win, you have to strategize as well and, there’s something you also need to know”

“I’m all ears”

“If another Alpha succeeds in mating with Luna first…”

“What nonsense! I’m not going to let another Alpha mate with my Luna!” I deny in anger and Reign calmly places her hand on mine and urges me to calm down.

“Calm down Hardin, he’s not done talking” She urges and immediately, magically, my nerves relax and the anger I to that was boiling in me subsides.

What is this girl doing to me?

“Please go ahead” She urges

“Thank you Luna. So, if another ….”

“Skip that part!” I order and he nods.

“Of course. He is going to get those powers instead and he’s going to invade this back and make us all useless!”

“Forget that point, it’s never going to happen. Let’s just start planning on how to go about this fight.”

“Like I said before, there is so much power that still has to be unlocked and there’s so much information that the Moon goddess still has to. make available for us, but you need to know this. Any one can win this battle, so we need to be prepared”

“We will definitely be prepared”

“Good, if that’s all then, I will take my leave, it I find out something else, I’ll get back to you”

“Thank you very much Mr. Leonard”

“It’s always a pleasure serving you Alpha” He rises up from his seat and Clark escorts him out of the office.

“It just had to be this generation, during my reign. What the actual hell!” I lament

“Isn’t Alpha Elijah Colton your role model, just imagine winning this battle like he did and having your name written in books and spoken of for the next one thousand years” Reign explains and he looks up at her.

“Love, this is a battle. People are going to die, besides I hate wars”

“You’ll be just fine Hardin, you’ve got Clark and I, the entire army force, we are going to win this battle!”

“And you’ve got me too. I’m going to start training the female warriors tomorrow, we are all going to be ready for this fight.”

“I believe in you two, I believe in my soldiers and I believe in my pack as a whole. No Pack is going to have dominion over us, we are going to fight this battle and we are going to win come rain, come sun!” I say with all confidence and they both nod in approval.

“Do you think my father knew about this and kept it away from us?” Reign asks out of no where and that gets me thinking. Having her locked up for eighteen years and also, he tight said he didn’t want her to meet me because he knew the moment we mate, I will become stronger.

He knew all along, that’s why he tried to prevent us from meeting but he didn’t tell us. All he spoke about was speed and strength, he didn’t talk about Elementals.

I swear the next I have the opportunity to kill that man, I won’t hesitate.

“He did, he knew all about this Reign. Now I understand why he tried to sabotage our union. He did not want me to get these powers”

“I’m going to kill him, I swear” Miguel swears.

“o

Do well to bring me his head when you do that”

“I Will do just that”

“I’ll just go and get some rest”

Reign announces as she walks over the door.

“Go to my bedroom” I instruct and she smiles as she walks out. I turn around to look at Miguel and I notice that he has on a foolish smile.

“What?”

“Nothing at all” He says with a careless shrug. “I’m just happy the two of you are now in good terms”

“You have no idea the kind of joy I have in my heart now”

“I can only imagine.” Exhales heavily “Well, I think you should go and take that nap with her, Something tells me the time has come when we won’t have time to take naps anytime me want, so now that you have the opportunity, don’t waste it” He explains and walks over to the door. “Congratulations”

“For what exactly” I ask confused.

“Marking your territory! That’s a very heroic thing to do” Then he walks out. It takes awhile before I understand what that actually means and I just chuckle and make my way out of the office.

Even in the most intense moments, Miguel will still find something to taunt me about. He’s crazy.

CHAOTER NINETY-FOUR

LANCE’S POV

HI, I’m Lance and you are just getting to know me now because, it is about to get red! I’m the Alpha of the East Wing Pack, enemy pack of the Wall Street Pack. Their Alpha, Alpha Hardin is my sworn enemy and I can’t wait to cripple him in this battle!

I was shocked last night when one of my servants reported to me that he could suddenly control fire and that’s when my mind clicked! The Elemental Battle is about to begin!

That is the first sign and that means, Alpha Hardin has only marked his mate, they haven’t mated yet. I sent my Elemental to go over to the pack to make them understand that I know what is coming and I am ready for them and I bet he did just that. I am going to do everything in my power to render them useless in this battle and become the next Paramount Alpha for the next one thousand years, nothing, I mean nothing will stop me from accomplishing this goal!

“It’s a good thing we have sent the signal, they need to prepare for our coming!” I say confidently as I walk over the sitting area in my office where my fire Elemental, my Beta and Gamma are seated.

“They all panicked like scared chickens and I love the way the fire burned their fields and instilled fear in them.”

“The next time we go there, we are going to be taking lives”

“Alpha Lance” my Beta calls and I turn to face him.

“Yes Roderick”

“Something just crossed my mind.”

“Do well to share with us Roderick”

“So, you mentioned that Alpha Hardin hasn’t mated with his Luna yet, Aye?”

“That’s true”

“And we all know that if any other Alpha mates with her first, especially during her heat period, maximum powers will be unlocked and that Alpha will be the one to share those powers with her”

“Exactly”

“imagine you getting those powers instead”

“Well, that would mean me, mating with Luna Reign and we all know that is a future impossible tense. Alpha Hardin will never allow that to happen”

“Have you forgotten that your second mate is a member of the Wall Street Pack? You can get her to Lure their Luna into a trap, we kidnap her and bring her to you. They won’t even know who took her and then we can wait for the full moon to come so you can mate with her when she is on her heat period. How does that sound?”

“Intriguing and risky”

“Well, one has to take risks in order to get to the top.”

“Alright then, I will discuss this with my Luna when next she comes to visit me. I planned to reject her because she was from my enemy pack, but I’m not going to do that. I need her”

“If we succeed in carrying out this plan, then this battle will be a piece of cake.”

“There is absolutely no lie in that statement” I say as I turn to my Fire Elemental.

“Connor”

“Yes Alpha”

“You will lie low for now, let’s try to work out how to get to that Paramount Luna. If I can get those powers instead, this war is ours”

“Yes, Alpha”

“That will be all for now, if my mate comes, please send her to me”

“I will do just that Alpha” My Beta assures me as they all rise from their seats and exit my office.

I do can’t wait for this battle to commence!

Reign’S POV

“Babe, please can we not fight about this?” I ask calmly as I walk out of the closet and go to seat by Hardin’s side on the bed.

I’m about to go for training, but he doesn’t buy the idea. He thinks I should stay at home and sleep all day, cuz I’m his queen.

Now tell me, is that what a good queen should do?

That’s an obvious no.

There’s a bloody war coming up and I need to prepare my female soldiers for this battle. I spent eighteen years in my father’s mansion, training like a warrior and do believe that I have something to give to them.

They can’t afford to be weak.

Now let’s get to this naughty Alpha sitting by my side.

“Love” I call as I hold his arms.

“I need to do this. I need to train those ladies and get them prepared for this war”

“But there’s Megan and the others”

“I know, but they need me. I promise to be home early”

“By noon?”

“Noon? Come on, we go out for break by noon”

“One pm then”

“Four pm”

“Love!” He cries and I just laugh and kiss him.

Out there he’s this wild fearless Alpha that everyone fears and respects, but in here, with me, he’s nothing but a naughty boy and I love him.

“I promise to be here by Four pm”

“I’m going to miss you”

“I’ll miss you too”

“Do I get another kiss?” He asks naughtily and I chuckle as I gently connect our lips together. He kisses me with all his might and I can’t help but laugh.

“Hardin, I’m not going to die. I’ll be back by evening and you’ll have me all to yourself”

“I know love, I know. I’m just going to miss you”

“I will be back love” I assure him as I rise up from the bed and walk to the door.

“Are you sure you don’t want to think this over?” He asks and I laugh as I shake my head and leave the bedroom.

He can’t always get what he wants, I need to do this for my ladies.

I make my way out of the castle and take the path that leads to the female warrior training center and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous.

Yes I have the skills, but I have never trained anyone before. I hope I don’t mess up.

“Luna Reign” Someone calls from the woods and when I turn around I see a girl of about my age, sweating and panting with tears in her eyes.

“Hey, what’s wrong with you?”

“I ask concerned as I walk towards her”

“Luna Reign, my name is Yves, please I need your help, my sister is stuck somewhere in the woods, I have tried to…”

“Stop talking and take me there!” I order in panic and she takes on her heels in the woods. I follow her without hesitation and we both go deeper into the woods.

After running for a while, she comes to a halt at a riverside and I expect to hear a crying little girl stuck somewhere, but everywhere is just calm and quiet.

“Where’s she?” I ask looking around and suddenly, I see two muscular men arise from the woods and walk majestically towards us.

One of the men, is really big, should be an Alpha or a Beta and the other… his eyes are blazing red. He is no doubt the fire Elemental. I rush over to the girl to try to protect her but she bursts into laughter, and that’s when my senses come.

Her younger sister isn’t hurt. She lured me m here on purpose. I look at her total disbelieve, how can she do this to me?

“So, this is your plan”

“The famous Paramount Luna!” The guy with the blazing eyes chants as he walks closer to me but I take calculated steps backwards and I close my eyes and let out a heavy sigh when my back hits a tree, and that impedes my movement.

“Get away from me” I order.

“Else what?”

“Else…” I say with a raised brow as I swiftly give him an ugly scratch in the face with my already shapeshifted paws.

“Shit!” He cries in pain as he staggers backwards with blood oozing from the scratches. The other guy charges towards me and is about to give me a blow in the face but I dodge by bending under his arm and I don’t loose that opportunity to grab his left arm and aggressively twist behind his back with all my might.

These people are crazy if they think they can take me down.

The guy whose hand I have currently held captive let’s out a loud scream as I twist the arm even harder, I’m just a snap away from breaking arm.

“Let him go!” The fire Elemental screams as he waves both hands and fire bolt forms between them which he Lunges at me with all his might. I push the guy aside and try to dodge but I’m too late and as it falls on my body, I expect to feel an excruciating burning pain, but I feel nothing. I look down at my side where it fell and I see it quench immediately like water had been poured on it. I’m actually amazed.

I look up at him and I smile when I see the horrendous look on his face. He is terrified and so is everyone else.

With my extraordinary speed, I charge towards him and land hard punch on his face before he can even realize what’s happening and as the other guy tried to attack me, a loud growl sounds nearby and in no time, Hardin and a few other wolves appear at the scene.

“Shit, Alpha Hardin!” The guy whose arm I almost handicapped earlier cries as he dashes into the woods and some wolves go after him. The fire Elemental does same but as the girl who lured me her tries to run, I quickly catch up with her and bundle up her arms in mine.

“You are coming with me”

“Reign! Are you alright!” Hardin asks as he rushes over to me and I just nod.

“What happened here?” Miguel asks as he rushes out of the woods.

“New prisoner!” I announce as I hand Yves over to him.

“Yves? What did she do?”

“She lied and brought me here so those guys would do whatever it is they wanted to do” I explain as I get into Hardin’s protective arms and he kisses my forehead.

“My mate is going to come for me!” Yves suddenly screams and we all look at her in awe.

“And who the hell is your mate?”

“Alpha Lance!”

“Alpha Lance is you mate?” Miguel asks in shock

“Shock you much?”

“Well, we will be waiting for him, in the mean time, I hope you enjoy your stay in the silver prison. Take her away from my sight before I change my mind and do something I’ll regret” Hardin orders with his eyes blazing in anger and Miguel immediately leaves with Yves who’s trying to wiggle herself from his stronghold to no avail.

She is not going to like that silver prison.

I turn to look at Hardin who is staring at me like I did something wrong.

“Please Hardin, it’s not my fault I got attacked”

“Love…”

“No, I am not going to stop going for training, besides how did you know I was in danger”

“Reign I have marked you and right now we are connected, I feel your fear, I feel your sadness, I feel your happiness, I can always tell when something wrong is going on with you. I felt your fear and I tracked you down with the help of your pheromone”

“Oh…”

“Are you sure you are fine?”

“Yes, I am fine. I just need to go to the female warrior’s training center and commence. I’m late by the way”

“Don’t you think you need to rest, you got attacked”

“No I don’t need to…” Suddenly I remember something. “Hardin”

“Yes love”

“The fire Elemental actually shot me with a fire bolt, but I didn’t get burned, instead the bolt quench immediately and I was amazed. What could that mean?” I ask curious.

“How about we discuss this Mr. Leonard this night?”

“Perfect. So, can you please see me off to my destination?” I ask with puppy eyes and he chuckles as he sweeps me off my feet and starts walking away.

My love for this man runs deeper than all the oceans in the earth. I am so grateful to the moon goddess for pairing us together.
