The Unwanted Luna

Xavier

I stood naked and bloodied looking at the creatures that had attacked our pack and slaughtered possibly hundreds of my people.

I was the strongest alpha there was in the werewolf community and yet I couldn't protect my people.

All that lay dead were my responsibility but against the combination of those fucking creatures and the forsaken there was nothing I could.

We had been fighting for hours, the night was passing and the day was starting to show but we were not even close to winning. All of us, the remaining that is, were tired and exhausted. After the alarms were triggered, the whole pack went into lockdown.

All the women and elderlies and those who couldn't fight plus the children were sent to the panic rooms where they would remain there until it was clear for them to come out. Leading Tristan there was hard because this was the painful part of being a parent.

You never know whether you would see them again and so I gave him a tight hug then handed him to my mother hoping against all hopes that it would not be the last time I laid my eyes on him.

Seeing Jayden and Sophie doing the same with Freya and not only them but also the rest who had children was a nail pierced into my heart.

Having been informed by the border guards that the creatures were back and were not alone I knew that we needed extra help and since that day seven years ago when they first made themselves known, we have been training anyone of trainable age. So I called on all those who had been training and could fight because we couldn't do it with just me, Jayden and the sentinels.

But it didn't matter because just like seven years ago we were losing and were losing badly. We were in a clearing near the cliff that Amelia ended her life, how befitting that I was to die in the same place that I had pushed her to end hers. "What do we do now?" I could hear the alarm and hopelessness in Jayden's voice, but the truth was I had no idea what to do.

The soil was drenched in blood and scattered body parts. There were some of the creatures and forsaken that were dead but most of the dead were my people.

"I don't know Jayden, they are too strong, too powerful to beat them. Nothing we do is working against them" I hear Bianca whisper next to me.

Never in my life had I felt so helpless and so useless like I did right now.

But I knew we couldn't give up because there were people back in the pack vaults that needed us, that depended on us so we had to keep fighting even if it felt like a losing battle.

I was the leader and they looked up to me but before all that, I was a father and it would be a cold day in hell before I let them get to my boy.

"Gabe, you take team A and go to the pack house, you will be our last line of defense in case we fail" I tell one of my sentinels who is the head of the elite group personally trained by me. "Yes Alpha" he then bows and proceeds to call on the others and then they leave.

"The rest of you round up and listen up..." before I even have time to finish up what I wanted to say, I hear a small battle cry, a voice that I know by heart.

I sharply turn to look and see Tristan on the other side charging towards one of the forsaken that was mauling a dead body with a wooden sword.

I heard gasps around me and I knew everyone else was now tuned in on my son but that didn't matter at all.

All I could think about was my son being in danger and that there would be hell to pay when this was over.

I don't have time to react before he, the forsaken, notices Tristan and pounces on him, his claws digging into his little arms making both Ace and I see red. His screams break the spell around us making the group I was with move into action.

It was ingrained in them to protect the Alpha heir and now he was in danger.

I saw the forsaken raising his other hand ready to strike while the other held Tristan down and I knew what he was about to do.

The change took over me and I was moving before I even realized it but we both knew that it was already too late.

It was impossible to cover the distance before he ripped Tristan apart but I couldn't give up, I couldn't watch while my son was slaughtered.

I was his father and I would do anything and everything to keep him safe even if that meant pushing myself harder.

The fear that overcame me at the possibility of losing Tristan almost paralyzed me to the spot, draining me of everything that I am but I couldn't let that stop me.

In my peripheral vision I could see my mom and some guards breaking through the clearing, worry etched in their faces which turned to horror when they saw Tristan in the clutches of the forsaken.

I forced my focus back on Tristan just as he dug his nails deeper into Tristan's flesh. He was about to strike and through our bond I could feel just how afraid he was, because the forsaken was lowering his hand to claw at Tristan's neck. "Mommy!" his painful scream tore at my heart and froze me, everything moving in slow motion from there on.

The once blue red-ish sky that was signifying the start of a new day suddenly turned dark. There was thunder and lightning all over the sky and the ground beneath us shook.

I could feel and taste the power that was all around us. A streak of light appeared behind the forsaken just before his head was torn clean from his shoulders, revealing a woman with obsidian eyes who immediately turned her back to us as she surveyed the creatures. "Goddess" I heard people behind me gasp but I was too transfixed on my son who had the biggest smile curving his lips.

Mum who was closest to Tristan went to him and picked him up, he tried resisting but eventually allowed mum to carry him a little distance away from the carnage, making Ace and I relax just a little while we continued to assess the mystery woman.

Sniffing the air, her scent was a bit familiar but not quite which confused the hell out of us.

Her hair, which was black, fell in long waves down her back. She had golden bracelets adorning her wrists and upper arm, above her elbows. She wore a white flowing dress and was barefoot.

"She's finally back" I hear a whisper and I know it's Sophie but I don't have time to ponder on what she said before the woman was moving, claws out slicing through our enemies.

She was a beast, alternating between a creature I have never seen and her human side.

The creatures and the forsaken didn't stand a chance against her. She tore through them like a cannonball, ripping them from limb to limb. They fell one by one at her hand with body parts, heads and hearts all scattering the clearing.

It was a total massacre and I was not the only one transfixed by her. Some of the forsaken tried fleeing but she released a roar that shook the trees, turned into her beast and followed them into the thick forest. It was quiet for a while right before the screams and howls of agony once again filled the air and then it was quiet again.

She then emerged from the trees after some time, naked and covered in blood and possibly other body fluids, levitating on top of the field that was soaked in blood.

As she moved the blood on her skin disappeared and a black dress with a thigh long slit appeared covering her naked body. The way she moved was fucking sensual, the sway of her hips arousing.

For the first time since Amelia died, Ace reacted to a woman.

"There is something about her that I just can't quite put my finger on it" I hear Ace say in the back of my mind and I agree with him because it was the truth.

When she got close that's when the truth hit me like a truck, it was Amelia...I could never mistake those green eyes nor her face. I was rooted to the ground, frozen in time.

How was it possible that she was alive? I know we didn't find her body but it was impossible to survive that fall especially with the amount of blood that discolored the water. I heard the gasps of people once they realized who their savior was. "Amelia.." I heard Bianca's shocked voice saying behind me.

Someone moved past me at lightning speed, almost knocking me to the ground. I didn't even have time to process who it was before he was kneeling before Amelia in total worship.

"Dark goddess" he whispered, shocking us even more than we already were. I was confused and I was damn sure I wasn't the only one.

"Rise" Damn her voice was sexy, strong and full authority. When did she get so powerful?

Someone snickered, "What a joke" I turned around only to find that Raya was the one who had spoken those words.

Sometimes I swear that she has no brain in that thick skull of hers but before anyone could say anything to her, Amelia had her pinned to a tree with her hand inside Raya's chest and by the agony on her face no one needed to be told what she was doing to her. "I don't like being disrespected especially by insignificant brainless sluts like you" Amelia enunciated each word, her voice hard and angry.

The fear in Raya's face was as clear as the death that was surrounding us.

"Amelia, let her go please" the voice that spoke was so clear, so sweet and enchanting, different from the raspy and sensual voice of Amelia.

"Why do you like spoiling my fun Selene hmm?" she said without even turning, causing us to turn at the mention of that name, just to find the most enchanting woman I have ever seen and I knew right away who we were all staring at, making all of us bow before her. I looked around finding shocked faces all around me. I forced my attention back to Amelia who was withdrawing her hands from Raya's chest, making her fall in a heap before Amelia.

Amelia turns around facing us; she then brings her hand covered in Raya's blood to her mouth and her tongue darts out to lick the blood off her middle finger.

"Disgusting, just like it's carrier" she says cringing and then just like before levitates towards the moon goddess but unlike us she doesn't bow before her.

"It's quite the mess you have created" moon goddess tells her once she is close enough, surveying the carnage that was surrounding us.

"You know me Selene, I do love the kill and the tortured screams of my enemies" the woman standing before me is a lot more different from the one I knew and the fact that she used the moon goddess first name, left me confused and on edge, afraid the goddess would retaliate. "Heaven's do I know" the moon goddess says then continues "You have to stay Lia, the packs need protection, especially this one and only you can do it since, we both know the undead will just keep on coming"

"Over my dead fucking body! I don't have to stay and I won't...they can all fucking die for all I care, I am just here for Tristan and I can take Sophie and Freya the rest can go burn in hell" the anger in her voice is unmistakable, she fucking hates us.

"You have to stay, no one can help them better than you, you are the only goddess among the deities capable of helping them"

The shocked sounds that surrounds me are unmistakable, because just like everyone else I am beyond speechless...Amelia is a fucking goddess? what the hell? the fact that Ace is also quiet just confirms that he also didn't know.

"They are your children so you deal with them, my responsibilities only lie with three people, the rest are not my problem"

"Seriously Amelia..." the moon goddess says frustrated just as she releases a bout of power. Her eyes turning completely white

"Don't fucking try that bullshit with me Selene, I am you equal" Amelia says just before she releases her own powerful energy her eyes turning black.

Their power play forces everyone to their knees and I grit my teeth against the brush of power that was suffocating the forest. It was a great contrast between the two, white against black.

Out of nowhere Tristan runs towards Amelia clearly unaffected by the powerful energies and throws himself against her legs hugging her tight.

"Please mommy, stay with me...I've missed you so much" he says which confuses me because how the hell does he know about Amelia and from the looks of it, it's like he has known her all his life which is strange.

This causes both women to stop their power play and look down at him. Amelia bends down and picks him up hugging him close to her kissing him all over his face which makes Tristan laugh.

After she stops, Tristan turns to look at the moon goddess and proceeds to surprise me and probably everyone else by giving her a peck and calling her aunty Selene.

"Will you stay with me, please...so I can get to see you everyday?" Tristan says with a pout and puppy eyes which have the ability to bring a full grown man to his knees.

Amelia stares at him for a while before nodding, making Tristan bounce on Amelia's arms in pure delight.

"It's settled then, I'll be in contact and don't worry about anything, everything will work out" Moon goddess says just as she gives Amelia a hug and Tristan a kiss and just like that, she disappears the same way she appeared. Amelia turns surveying us and her eyes land on me, eyes that hold nothing but resentment and hate.
