THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

LANCE’S POV

Ever since I had that very fruitful conversation with Alpha Ralph, I have not been myself.

I have been excited and fantasizing about the upcoming battle on Saturday.

Alpha Damien has agreed to join us in this battle and you have no idea how much that is going to help us.

Three packs, three different army of soldiers against one!

It will take a miracle for Alpha Hardin and his soldiers to defeat us.

“So, how was it?” Alpha Ralph asks as he approaches me in his living room. I headed straight here the moment I woke up this morning.

This news is too good for me to keep to myself. I have to let him know immediately so we can plan on how we are going to go about the battle.

“It was way easier than I thought”

“That means Alpha Damien has accepted to fight with us”

“Justly thought, rightly said”

“Now, that is some good news!”

“You can say that again”

“What exactly did you do to convince him to join us?” He asks surprised and I just chuckle as I shake my head.

“Well, I’ve got my charms and also, Alpha Damien doesn’t seem to like Alpha Hardin very much and he is more than willing to help us dethrone him. He even mentioned the fact that it was about time some the Coltons stepped down that position” I explain and he quietly nods his head.

“He is absolutely right. So where are we to meet on that day?”

“At the Wall street pack boundary, since the war will be fought in their pack, we will need to assemble at the boundary and storm in”

“That sounds like an excellent plan.”

“It sure is”

“You know there’s something that baffles me a lot”

“And, what could that be?”

“Well, remember the last time we were there to attack, we couldn’t find any of their shewolves or pups, have you ever wondered why that was the case? Like , where they hid them?” He asks and I nod my head as I try to ponder on the whole situation.

That day we broke into a good number of houses, but couldn’t find anyone, they must have sent them out somewhere or had them hidden in some secret place in the pack. But, right now, that really doesn’t concern me.

My mission right now is to have both Alpha Hardin and Luna Reign killed so I can get those powers and become Paramount Alpha. When that happens they will have no choice but to come out of their hiding grounds and then, I will be able to do anything I want with them.

For now, the can hide all they can, but once this war is over and I win they will not be able to escape my wrath.

That I swear.

“Alpha Ralph, what you just said makes a lot of sense, but I don’t think that should be our worry right now. If you’d ask me, I’d say it’s a good thing they have been hidden because those Shewolves and pups will only serve as a distraction to us in this war. Our main targets are the soldiers, Kol, Luna Reign and Alpha Hardin. Once we finish off these people, the war is over and we win. The shewolves will have no choice but to come out from whatever holes they are hiding and then we can do whatever it is we want with them. So, don’t be worried about their whereabouts, they are gonna show up just the moment we need them.” I explain as I put on a confident smile and sip more brandy from my glass.

“You are one very big master planner Alpha Lance. I’m glad I have you by myside in this war”

“The feeling is mutual. So now, let’s plan on how we are going to divide the troops on that day. This is what I think. Our three packs, which are the Blood Moon pack, the East End pack and the Far North Pack all share boundaries with the Wall Street Pack. Far North Pack to the East, Blood Moon pack to the North and East End pack to the south. I suggest we all keep a quarter of our soldiers at each boundary and take three quarters to the battle field. The one quarter is going to serve as back up. Also, we both know how mighty the Wall Streep pack is and I know their soldiers are going to attack at once, so we are all going to stick together. Once the battle is launched, we can then separate to fight off our various opponents”

“Also, we need to make sure none of those soldiers come in contact with Alpha Hardin because he is way stronger than they are. He will break them without breaking a single sweat. Since Alpha Damien will be fighting with us, I suggest we both go for Alpha Hardin while Alpha Damien stays behind with the soldiers and fight.” He adds and I clear my throat.

“Sounds like a good fighting strategy, but there is something we are missing out”

“Which is?”

“The Elementals. Remember, just Alpha Hardin and Luna Reign alone are eight Elementals combined, then they have Kol. I don’t even want to think about the fact that as it is now, Reed, Lloyd and Kevin might have joined them for this battle. That will mean they have all the Elemental powers. How catastrophic can that be?” I ask in horror as I look up at him. I swear right now my heart is beating so fast and I feel a beat of sweat slide down my temple.

I’m extremely nervous and I feel like we are in for a mission impossible.

For real, if what I just explained up there is what had actually happened, then we are up for a lost battle. There is no way in this world we would be able to take down twelve Elemental powers.

That is no way possible.

We are going to need a miracle to be able to do that.

“That will be very catastrophic.” He concludes and I let out a very heavy sigh of frustration.

We have been fighting from the beginning for this victory. At some point, I was so excited about the fact that I was finally there, but one discovery and a few other misunderstandings have brought me to a ground zero situation.

Right now the only thing keeping me so positive is my zeal to become Paramount Alpha.

That is the only reason I’m still standing tall in this battle.

“So what are going to do?” I ask looking at Alpha Ralph and from what I see, he has no idea what should do next.

We both set our glasses down on the table and sit on one of the couches to think of what to do next.

“And… why does there seem to be so much tension in here?” A very familiar voice calls and my heart throbs fast as I look up to confirm the owner of the voice I just heard. The moment my eyes meets Lloyd’s face, my heart falls in my stomach and I abruptly rise up from the couch.

“Lloyd!” I call in almost a whisper, totally terrified and he smiles.

“The one and only” He confirms.

Right now, I just want to scream my lungs out, but I know I have to keep my cool because I don’t know exactly why they are here.

They might be here to give us the good news that they have decided to join us again.

OR

To give us the bad news that they have decided to fight for Alpha Hardin.

I have to be ready for anything.

“Lloyd, Kevin” Alpha Ralph calls in shock as he rises from the couch. The look in his eyes is unexplainable. Guilt, regret, sadness, defeat, is all I can see in them and for a moment, I feel sorry for him.

“Hello Alpha Ralph”

“What are you guys doing here?” He asks with a calm tone and Lloyd takes confident steps closer to us with a smile on his face and both hands shoved in both trouser pockets.

Once he comes to a halt, he takes a pose with his feet slightly apart and both hands still shoved in his trouser pockets and stands straight tall.

He then then turns to look at Alpha Ralph who swallows dryly.

Never in my life have I been intimidated by the presence of a mere werewolf the way I am right now.

I know I’m an Alpha but with the very wounded expression on Lloyd’s face right now, I can’t predict his next move.

Remember he is an Elemental, the earth elemental to be precise and he can make this ground swallow me up with just a wave of his hand. Even the fact that I’m an Alpha won’t save me if he decides to do that.

Irony of life!

“I would have said I have come to take knives you used to stab me in the back, but come to think if it, you are still my Alpha. Our ancestors have served this pack for as long as history can recall. That is to say that no matter what, this is our pack and it is our duty to defend it no matter what. So, Kevin and I are here to defend our pack, to defend you, our Alpha, even though you have other not very pleasant plans for us” He explains and Alpha Ralph bows his head down in shame.

I can totally feel what he is going through.

That is the way I felt when I was told that Reed left because he found out about my plans to have him killed after this battle is all over.

That is some guilt I will never be able to get over.

“Guys, I …” He starts to talk but Lloyd cuts him off.

“It’s fine Aloha Ralph, you don’t have to say anything”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“No, I want to talk. I can swear on my life that what I said that day was not intentional. I have no idea what came over me, I can swear on my life that I was hexed at that moment. Please forgive me for what I said, I honestly didn’t mean those words” Alpha Ralph pleads in remorse I look at him in awe.

Did he just apologize to a common werewolf?

I will only do that over my dead body. If that’s what it will take for Reed to come back, he should better stay where ever he is, I don’t see my self swallowing my enormous pride and apologizing to a mere werewolf.

Over my dead body!

“It’s okay Alpha Ralph, we understand. The past is in the past, let’s now focus on how to attack and win this upcoming battle”

“Thank you guys so much for giving us another chance. We actually didn’t know what to do next, but having you guys here right now gives us hope and I know if we stand together, we are going to be victorious.”

“Yes we will”

“So… any news about Reed?” I ask looking at them with expectant eyes.

“No. Seems like Reed really isn’t going to change his mind. He should be in Goodland, together with his mate, living like the coward he is”

“He just chose the wrong the path for himself. Once this battle is over and we win, he had better never live that place ever because the moment he sets his foot here, I will have him killed, I swear”

And I mean it.

He decided to leave us and that is betraying us. Betrayers deserve to die.

“Enough with your killing fantasies, let’s ride on with our plans” Alpha Ralph interrupts my thoughts.

“So far, what have you guys planned out?” Lloyd asks and I proceed to explain all what we have planned, including the fact that Alpha Damien will be joining us in the fight.

Two Elementals

Three different pack armies

We are definitely going to get this victory!
