The Alpha’s Forbidden Love

CHRIS

“What is happening here?”

Dylan was as dumbfounded as I was at what had just happened at the pack. The strange howl that had echoed through the woods had made the rogue wolves retreat to the woods, leaving us with unanswered questions in our wake.

After the invasion had been interrupted by that mysterious howl, I turned to Alpha Dylan seeking answers. “What was that howl about, Dylan?”

Dylan, perplexed, replied. “I have no idea, Chris. That wasn’t from any of my pack members.”

My mind raced, I had recognized one of the invaders as one of those who had attacked me and my guards on our way back from the summit. I kept this information to myself as I and Glen began to prepare for our journey back home.

“I think you should stay here for a while. They could be out there waiting for another attack,” Dylan suggested.

He was right. If I could recognize one of the attackers then it was certain that they were after me and not Dylan’s pack.

Following his suggestion, I remained in his pack while his guards set out to ensure the invaders were nowhere in sight when we returned to our chambers.

The next day, I began my journey back to my pack, my mind flooded with the discussions I had with Alpha Dylan the previous day. Alpha Dylan had revealed a shocking news, one that shook the foundation of my being.

“How long had I been in the dark? How could they keep such vital information away from me?” I thought.

I pondered on what Dylan had said to me, keeping my emotions are bay as I and Glen returned to the pack with the guards Dylan had provided.

Upon arrival at the pack, the news of a captured rogue reached me. I immediately hurried to the dungeon to see the infiltrator, expecting another foe. To my astonishment, I found my mate, Lucy, confined and battered.

“Who did this?!” I yelled, my blood boiling in rage.

“She’s a rogue, alpha. She was caught sneaking into the pack. She got what she deserved,” one of the guards sneered.

“Who gave the order?! how dare you hurt the future Luna of this pack!!,” I growled.

“The elders did, we are only following orders,” another of the guards said.

With my eyes ablaze with fury, I confronted the elders. “Release her immediately! She’s my mate, the future Luna of the pack.” The elders were all taken aback by my revelation and began exchanging glances at each other but remained hesitant.

‘She’s’ a rogue. We can’t simply ignore that,” one of the elders argued.

“RELEASE HER AT ONCE!!!” my wolf sneered.

“You heard the alpha. Release her now!” Glen snapped charging forward while he drew his sword from its sheath.

“You are making a grave mistake,” Elder Orvyn said, his voice stern. I ignored him and ordered that she be released at once.

Immediately, Lucy was released to me, and taking her in my arms, I swiftly carried her to my chambers. The pack healer began administering treatment to her as soon as he could.

Leaving Lucy in the hands of the healer, I left to meet with the council who had requested my presence.

“You defile this pack by harboring a rogue in your chambers,” Orvyn sneered.

“That rogue is the future Luna of this damn pack!” I blurted, my eyes burning with rage. My anger was brewing but I tried to simmer it down before things got out of hand.

“Unacceptable!!” another council elder said. “A rogue can never be the Luna of this pack.”

“Isn’t she the daughter of the traitor that killed your father?” Kazmir asked.

“Her father didn’t kill mine, that’s the lie Uther made us believe. Her father is innocent,” I responded.

They all froze at the mention of his name. I knew they wondered how I got to know who Uther was since no one ever mentioned him to me. I left them in their shock while I returned to my chambers to see how Lucy was fairing.

On getting to the chambers, I found Lucy sleeping peacefully, she was now conscious but the look on the healer’s face said otherwise.

“Is everything alright?” I asked, my voice a bit shaky.

“Alpha Chris, there’s something you need to know,” the healer said, his voice hesitant. I searched his eyes for clues and I could tell that something was wrong, something he couldn’t bring himself to tell me.

“What is it? What is wrong with her?” I demanded, my body trembling visibly.

“She lost a baby while she was tortured in the dungeon,” the healer revealed. The news delivered by the healer cut through me like a knife.

“A baby? She was…”

“Yes, she was with a child and lost it while in the dungeon. I’m sorry, but she’s going to need you more than ever now,” the healer said

I felt a cold chill run down my spine. “They took everything away from me. They took my happiness.” I mumbled.

A primal rage surged within me. I rose and seethed in anger to deal with those who had ruined my life. Lucy’s trembling hand reached out, pleading for me to let it go.

“Chris, please don’t,” she whispered, tears streaming down her face. She had overheard my conversation with the healer. I couldn’t imagine the pain she was going through at that moment, the turmoil within me only eclipsed her plea.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Ignoring her call, I stormed out of my chambers, my eyes reflecting the storm of emotions within me. I met Glen, my beta, and together we dragged the guards who had tortured Lucy back to the dungeon. The air thickened with tension as I, fueled by an unrelenting fury took matters into my own hands.

The screams in the dungeon echoed through the stone walls as I unleashed my wrath on the guards who had tormented Lucy. The darkness within me matched the shadows of the dungeon, and in that moment, I got the revenge I wanted, albeit in a brutal form.

Returning to Lucy, I found her staring at me, her eyes a mix of concern and fear. I couldn’t blame her, I too would be afraid if I had seen myself walk in bathed in the blood of another.

“What have you done, Chris?” she asked, her voice weak but resolute.

“I killed them. I killed them all.”
