THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

LLOYD’S POV

(EARTH ELEMENTAL)

I don’t know what the moon goddess is playing at, but all I know is that I don’t like it.

First, she has a nerve wrecking policy of giving out information about this battle bit by bit. One can never know what to expect.

Then she made our enemy Alpha, Alpha Hardin, way more powerful than all of us by giving both him and his mate all the Elemental powers.

The earth Elemental who we thought was on our side is his brother and right now, he has joined forces with him to fight against us.

As if that is not enough, right now she has given the staff of edification to him.

If you’d ask me I’d say she is being biased.

She wants Alpha Hardin to win and that’s why she’s giving him all the magic and powers. Everything always just goes to him easily while we have to fight to even stand a chance. It’s unfair and that’s why I am determined to change things.

I will make sure we win this battle and render that pompous Alpha and his entire pack useless, that I promise.

“What’s with the sudden meeting at this time of the night, Lloyd?” Alpha Lance asks as I walk into the living room with a not very friendly look on my face.

I’m mad, like damn mad, particularly at the moon goddess.

“You okay bro?” Reed, the fire Elemental asks but I don’t say a word as I match on.

“Lloyd, talk to us, what is going on?” My Alpha, Alpha Ralph asks concerned.

“I think the moon goddess is being bias in this battle”

“Do you know the consequences of what you just said?”

“I don’t care about the consequences”

“We are talking of the possibility of you being struck dead right here and now Lloyd” Reed cautions and I snort in annoyance.

“Yeah whatever! I still think she is being biased. Will someone please ask my reason for saying that?”

“Okay then, do well to enlighten me”

“Haven’t you all noticed that Alpha Hardin has all the powers? He is way stronger that all of us. She purposely gave him all those powers just so he could win. She loves him more than she loves us”

“You will not repeat such an abomination in my pack again Lloyd, if you have anything to say, spit it out and stop talking ill about the moon goddess” my Alpha warns and I swallow a painful lump that has accumulated in my throat out of anger.

They will never get it.

Fools they all are!

“Lloyd, calm down and tell us what is going on” Reed urges with his usual quiet tone and I shake my head as I pace about helter-skelter.

The mission ahead is very hectic.

“I honestly didn’t mean to call our creator names”

“You should pray and ask her for forgiveness,” Kevin says.

“I will do that the moment I get back home”

“Good”

“So can you tell us what’s going on? What is getting you so worked up?”

“Remember the question I asked about what it is we are fighting for?”

“Uh… yeah. I think I do”

“And we contemplated on if the instrument that wields the powers we need after the war was a sword or a staff or something else.”

“Yes we didSo, I had a revelation last night and I got to know what exactly it is we are fighting for” I announce and everyone looks at me with bewildered expressions.

“For real?”

“Yeah, for real”

“So, what is it? What is it that we are fighting to get?” Alpha Lance asks impatiently.

“It’s a simple wooden staff, made of aged arbutus, polished smooth from use, but pretty plain. It has a jewel at the top which burns like a blazing torch when being used and the power it wields is tremendous! The Alpha who wields that staff after the battle edifies his pack and becomes the Paramount Alpha” I explain and I see both Alphas exchange perplexed glances as they swallow dryly.

They both have decided to join forces and defeat Alpha Hardin in this battle, but none of them have ever spoken of who would get the powers when the war is over.

Interesting!

Very interesting.

“So, it’s a staff, aye?”

“Yes it is”

“And do you know where we are supposed to go to get it?” Reed asks.

“Well, that’s the problem now”

“What’s wrong”

“It’s in Alpha Hardin’s possession, if we have to get it, then we have to plan an ambush and this time around we don’t only have to end at the training field, we would have to send someone into his private study to go get it, cuz I know that is where he has kept it”

“That is nothing but a suicide mission!” Kevin Laments as he covers his face with his palms. “Going into Alpha Hardin’s chambers is an impossible thing to do, do you know how tight the security there is?”

“How do you even know there’s security there?”

“Are you high or what? That’s a fucking Alpha, not just any Alpha, the Paramount Alpha and that’s his fucking chambers we are taking about.”

“I understand you Kevin and you are totally correct, but nothing is impossible if we plan properly and make the right attack”

“Okay then, let’s say we get there and succeed in getting to the castle, how are we going to locate his own chambers? I know you all have heard of the legend of the Wall street pack castle, how mighty it is”

“Also we all can’t go in there, it’s going to be too obvious, just one person needs to get in and get the staff while we stall the others”

“Don’t worry about locating the chambers” Alpha Lance says confidently and we all turn to face him with shocked expressions on our faces.

He is always saying the impossible.

“What do you mean we shouldn’t worry about how to locate his chambers?”

“I know what I’m saying”

“Do well to share”

“Seems like you all have forgotten the fact that my mate used to be a member of the wall street pack. She grew up there and her mum serves as a maid in that castle. Yves, my mate knows every way in and out of that castle” He explains.

“Oh… okay”

“Exactly. What we have to do is ambush them and make sure they are all out fighting while she sneaks in and gets it. Simple”

“I’m afraid it’s not that simple Alpha Lance. Remember, that is the Wall Street Pack we are talking about, the most powerful pack in the world”

“So what do you suggest we do? Sit down here and just watch him win and take all the glory for the next one thousand years? Sorry, I don’t want that , I won’t let that petty werewolf rule over me or my offspring! This is a war and whether we like it or not, we have to take risks, even if they are as bad as this” He preaches and the entire room goes silent.

I don’t even know what to say.

Going into Alpha Hardin’s chambers to get that staff is a suicide mission like Kevin rightfully said, but again, if we have to win this battle and wield those powers, we have to make the impossible, possible in order to get that staff.

“Alpha Lance is right” I point out and all their gazes divert to me and I just nod. “Yes he is. We need to do this if we have to win this battle. That staff won’t come for us, we have to go get it at all cost. That’s if we really want to win”

“So when do you suggest we go over?” Reed asks.

“Tonight” Alpha Ralph declares with seriousness and we all avert our gazes towards him.

“Tonight?” We all ask in unison.

“Yes tonight. That’s why it’s going to be an ambush. They won’t see it coming and they will all be distracted. That will be the best shot for Yves to go in and get the staff.”

“I think that is a brilliant plan. I’m in” I confirm.

“I’m in” both Reed and Kevin say in unison.

“I’m in” Alpha Lance confirms as well and I smile.

“So when and where do we gather to leave?”

“Ten pm at the boundary between my pack and walking street pack, come along with soldiers.”

“I definitely will. I’ll take my leave now”

“See you at ten”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“Definitely” He rises from his seat and exits the living room with his Fire Elemental and guards following closely behind.

“For the first time in forever, he said something beneficial” Kevin whispers and I chuckle lightly.

“You will be in big trouble if he hears that, Kevin” I caution and he rolls his eyes as he rises from his seat.

“I better go and start preparing myself for this battle, I have a feeling it’s going to be very tough!” Then he walks away.

“I will take my leave as well, Alpha” I say with a light bow and leave.

I can’t wait for ten pm to arrive.

I swear Alpha Hardin won’t see this coming.
