The Alpha King's Battered Luna

My wolf started pacing aggressively in my head, I was trying to communicate but he keeps wanting to jump out of my head. I wasn't going to let him out because one Language Cypher understood was violence. I'm the nicer one out of the two of us and if I was being honest, Cypher makes a lot of rash decisions on his own.-

I let him out on rare occasions and at wars, Cypher is always unstoppable, many feared him more than they feared me.

Something huge was about to happen to us and I could feel it too. I'm sure he could too, there was this rush of adrenaline pumping through me.

I broke into a jog towards the pack clinic because I can't keep calm and keep walking again. I wanted to do something more.

Arriving at the pack clinic, Daniel was standing outside already waiting for me.

He waved his hands and I turned to walk towards him. Cypher's pacing became more aggressive and the adrenalin pump was so high.

I literally want to break into a run and run for hours along the borders of my pack but something was keeping me rooted here. I was being energy high and I wanted to do a lot of things while finding what to do too. That was when it hit me, the enchanting lavender smell. Walking closer to Daniel he had it splattered all over his body.

I could smell it so well. Daniel can't even be my mate, the goddess dare not play a trick on us. Cypher was almost growling in my head but I couldn't pick up what he was saying.

My whole body was on fire and my thought scattered all over the place. Did Daniel come in contact with my mate before me?

I had no doubt about this and Cypher didn't like it one bit that Daniel had touched our mate before us and her scent was scattered all over his body.

"My Alpha, is there something wrong? You look a little unsettled. Scratch that, you look restless." Daniel said and I took another breath. I was an adult and I can definitely deal with this in a proper manner.

I took short deep breaths in quick succession before I turned to look at him. The scent had reduced and I sighed in relief. Daniel wasn't my mate but he had come in contact with my mate. Cypher kept up with the pacing and he wasn't pleased that Daniel came in contact with our mate before us.

"There's a weird scent coming from you. It's not there before. Did you touch anyone else?" I asked with a low voice and he nodded slowly.

He was lost at first and when everything started to come back to him, his mouth rounded in an "O" and he beckoned me to follow him.

He walked hastily into the pack clinic and I followed him. The scent was becoming stronger and as I walked closer to the roll of rooms, the smell became stronger.

The adrenalin rush was still there and I was close to tears, I was finally getting a mate. After so many years, The moon goddess finally took pity on my lonely self.

I was finally going to have a mate to call mine, I was finally going to see someone to call mine and spend the rest of my life with.

We were going to start our own little family and we would be happy forever. I couldn't wait but for some reason, I started having cold feet.

What if she doesn't want me as her mate? What if she has fallen in love with someone else, or what if she has a thing against her chosen mates? I don't even want to go down that lane at all.

As if Daniel could read my mind, he slowed down a bit before he grabbed my hand. It was some kind of reassurance, and I'm thankful that I have this man in my corner. He's always so understanding and in moments when I can say what's going on; it's as if he can read my thoughts. I'm happy to have him as a friend and as my beta. When we got to the entrance of the room, the scent intensified and it was clouding my senses. I pushed the door open gently and I walked in with hope.

I hope whoever the Moon Goddess picked for me, would be perfect for me in my own way.

She would complete me in ways no one else had. I couldn't wait to meet her. I never had any expectations for my mate because I wanted to love her as she is, I only prayed she was perfect for me.

When I got into the room, nothing prepared me for what I saw next. I saw my mate on the bed, with a tube connected to her body.

No doubt bringing fluids to her body. I wanted to cry or worse do something to whoever made her like this. No human deserves to look this frail and malnourished.

No human deserves whatever my mate has been through. Her whole body looked like she hadn't had a meal in days.

While I wasn't comfortable with the fact that she was wearing Daniel's outfit, her exposed legs showed marks and marks.

Some looked older than the rest but whatever the case is, I'm glad she is out of there: She was here with me now, she is mine now. I wanted to find whoever did this to her, find them one after the other, and make their lives hell.

She turned in her sleep and a soft sigh escaped her lips. I was enthralled by her whole features, even with the scars, she looked like she wasn't made for this realm.

Each time people say that be calm, your mate would be perfect. I never believed it till now. She was perfect and the scars didn't make her any less than perfect.

Her soft breaths filled the room and she looked like she had no care in the world. She looked like she was finally at peace.

That alone brought me peace, looking at her sleeping peacefully and without a care in the world. This was how she was going to be sleeping forever, he was going to protect her at all cost.
