THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

LANCE’S POV

I’m seated in my living, discussing with my Beta on how to prepare my soldiers for war when Reed walks in with an eternal frown masked on his face.

He comes over to me and bows down slightly without uttering a single word. He was no where to be found when we all woke up this morning and now that he’s here, looking sweaty but not shabby at all, I am curious to know where it was he went to.

“Drew, you may excuse us now, we’ll ride on later” I instruct my Beta.

“Yes Alpha” He says as he rises on his feet and exits the living the room. I turn to Reed and motion him to sit down which he does still without uttering a word.

Mysterious!

Yes, Read is a very quiet guy, but he hardly frowns. I wonder what’s going on.

“Reed, what’s going on? You suddenly went MIA ( Missing in action” this morning and now you are back with a gloomy expression. What happened?”

I ask concerned. He is my Fire Elemental, the most valuable possession I have right now and I need to make sure everything is well with him.

He is my shot at this battle.

My shot, I tell you.

“Forgive me Alpha for doing some things behind your back, but I promise they are not things to bring you any harm”

“What have you been doing behind my back, Reed?” I ask alarmed.

“Meeting with the Earth, Air and Water Elementals. We have had two meetings so far”

“Oh…” I exclaim in utter shock. I swear I am taken aback. ” Wow, so what have you all been discussing about”

“Alpha Lance, I know you are very positive about this battle, even I am positive about this battle. You are my Alpha and I want you to win and become the next Paramount Alpha. You have a whole army of vet loyal soldiers and you have me and my special powers and I believe that makes you confident. It is true that, that makes you strong, but I can bet on my life that we are not strong enough to defeat Alpha Hardin in this battle”

“Is that so?” I ask with a creased brow as I fold my arms over my chest and lean backwards on the couch I’m sitting on to make myself more comfortable.

“Yes Alpha”

“So what do you suppose I do to make myself stronger?”

“Actually Alpha, it’s something you are not going to like, you already denied the idea before”

“Still say it anyway”

“I think you should join forces with Alpha Ralph for this battle”

“You… think I should do that?” I ask with raised brows and he nods.

“Yes Alpha”

“Give me two benefits I’ll get from that union?”

“More Soldiers and power at your disposal and also a greater chance at winning this battle. Alpha, the Earth Elemental showed me something this morning that got me thinking really far. He has a bracelet that neutralizes power once it’s worn on an Elemental’s wrist. They are about ten steps ahead of us. What if we stay against them and they succeed in putting that bracelet on me and making me useless”

“But one can always take it off right?”

“Only the Air Elemental has the ability to take off that bracelet once it has been worn on an Elemental’s wrist”Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“I see…” I say nodding as all my brain cells start pondering on what to do.

I was still not very sure to join when my Luna tried to convince me, but after hearing this, I think it was about time I made a delightful decision.

“So, that’s why I think it’ll be good for us to join forces with the Far North pack. We need them as much as they need us” he rants on and I just nod in agreement.

“Good then, we will prepare to visit the Far North Pack immediately and tell them about our intention of joining forces with them.”

“Thank you very much for reconsidering your decision Alpha.”

“No, thank you for bringing such vital information to me. And about the Air Elemental, I am curious to know from which pack he hails”

“Actually Alpha, Kol is a rogue and every attempt made by Lloyd…”

“Who is Lloyd?”

“The Earth Elemental. The Air and water Elemental are Kol and Kevin respectively”

“Oh, so there’s Kol, the Air Elemental, Kevin, the Water Elemental and Lloyd the Earth Elemental” I try to acquint myself with the names and he smiles and nods his head in agreement.

“Yes Sir”

“Good, so you were saying?”

“I was saying that every attempt made by Lloyd to convince Kol into joining his pack has failed. He is determined to stay packless as he is”

“That decision of his will change when he hears all that I have to offer him.” I with a sinister smile.

It will be an added advantage to me if I can get the Air Elemental on my side. I’m going to do all I can to convince him to join my pack!

“Well, well, well. Look who we have here” Alpha Ralph coos with a smile as I walk into his living room with my Beta, Gamma and Fire Elemental by myside.

Such a grand entrance makes me feel like the king I am.

“Your prayers have been answered Alpha Ralph” I boast as I walk towards him.

“Indeed, indeed” we both shake hands and he motions me to take a seat in the couch which I gladly do.

“So, I’m guessing you are here to give me the good news”

“Actually, Reed here was able to convince me into this and I think it actually the right thing to do. You were right when you said we both stand no chance against the Wall Street Pack if we go individually, we need to join forces and fight and like you also said, when we get to the bridge of who gets the Paramount Alpha power, we will cross it. For now, let’s find a way to win the bloody battle”

“I am glad you finally look at this the way I do.”

“He also told me about the bracelet, can I see it?”

“Uh… it’s actually in the keeping of the Earth Elemental and right now he… oh, there is he is.” He says pointing to the door and when I turn to look, I see two guys of about my age, walking in. One seems to know exactly where he is going to and the other keeps scanning the entire living room and I can tell that this is first time here.

The former is definitely the Earth Elemental and the latter… is whoever he is.

“Lloyd, you are back” Alpha Ralph’s announces with a cheerful smile and I internally roll my eyes.

There was really no need to announce something so obvious.

“Yes my dear Alpha, and with me, I have Kol, the Air Elemental” Lloyd announces and both Alpha Ralph and I exchange surprised glances and look back at the guys.

“Oh, what a pleasant surprise. Nice to meet you Kol” Alpha Ralph greets and Kol just nods his head.

He looks too neat and organized for a rogue. When Reed told me he was a rogue I had pictured some poor, lanky, malnourished looking guy but the guy standing before me is such a healthy and fine man.

I am even tempted to say he looks rich!

Well toned muscles, tall, even way taller than I am and he has got very striking physical features. He looks way hotter than I am and he would pass for an Alpha.

I must confess that I feel slightly intimidated by his looks.

“A penny for your thoughts Alpha Lance.” He busts me up and I look at him in total shock and bewilderment.

I hate the smirk he has on lips.

“How do you know my name?”

“Well, any rogue would know you. You are known for the cruel treatment you give to anyone who is caught trespassing in your territory, even if they weren’t causing any harm”

He explains and I swallow dryly.

“But, we all know Rogues are trouble makers”

“Not all Alpha, not all. Anyway that’s not why I’m here.” He turns to the Earth Elemental. “You said there was something cooking up”

The nerve of this guy!

“Uh, yeah” Lloyd replies as he turns to Alpha Ralph. “We were actually planning an attack on the Wall Street Pack.

“If you are explaining to attack their pups and underage youths, count me out”

“No, we are not planning to do that. We are planning to cause a lot of ruckus in the woods that would lure them to us and so we can fight”

“Now that’s better”

“So, is it a problem if we attack their pups and underage youths?” I ask curious and he turns to face me.

“Only a weasel will plan such an attack. Why leave the soldiers who are capable of defending themselves and attack innocent children who have no idea what’s even going on around them?”

“It’s a war, everyone needs to go down!”

“Including pups? Really?” He asks and I go mute.

“Kol!” Lloyd calls in a firm tone and he turns to face him “Stop! That’s an Alpha you are talking to” He warns and Kol just shakes his head.

“Whatever. Now let’s ride in with the plan.”

I don’t like him.

“We will be attacking the Wall Street Wolf Pack at dawn tomorrow. We need to prepare”

“Nice, I will meet you all tomorrow at the boundary at dawn so we can begin the attack. For now, I think I have overstayed my welcome” He says as he turns to leave.

“You can come with me and stay the night in my pack. I will command my servants to prepare you a fine bedroom and you can even have some woman to warm your bed” I offer with a smile and he stops in his tracks and turns to face me.

“I’m a rogue, that doesn’t mean I’m a hobo. Besides, I don’t look like one and I don’t need your accommodation. Also, I think you need to learn to respect your shewolves more, they are not sex toys.” Then he walks to the door where he stops yet again and turns to face us all.

“And none of you should ever try to convince me into join his pack, I am no Alpha’s pet, I’m only doing this for my Elemental brothers. Whoever gets the power in the end is not my concern” Then he walks out of the living.

There is total silence in the living room as well just keep giving each other confused glances .

What just happened?

“You would have to excuse him Alphas, remember he’s a rogue and he has no fundamental manners at all. I know it’s going to be hard working with him, but we need him, so please let’s just learn to ignore him.”

“He talks too much” I complain

“He’s a self righteous dog,” Alpha Ralph adds.

“We all need that self righteous dog. He is powerful, like damn powerful and I bet you that you won’t want him to side with Alpha Hardin. Having two Air Elementals against us will not be a good thing. Also, this necklace will be useless if he is not here. He is a valuable asset and we need him to win this battle.”

“We are killing him once this battle is over”

You can do whatever you want with him after this battle, but for now, don’t piss him off”

“So he can piss me off but I can’t piss him off?” I ask stubbornly and he just covers his face with his palms probably wondering who made such a naughty and stubborn man Like me an Alpha

“Like I said before, we have to bear with him” He insists and I just look away and roll my eyes.

I swear when all of this is finally over and I have the power, I will personally have Kol’s head separated from his shoulder.

That I swear.
