THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

MR. LOGAN’S POV

I have to do something and I have to do it quick. This is not how I am going to die. This cannot be the end of me.

If there is one thing I hate about the Coltons, it’s the fact that they never give word their word for nothing.

If a Colton Alpha says you will be executed today, then you will definitely be executed today.

However, I can’t die like this. I need to find a way to get out of here.

I didn’t start all this just to end up like this. There’s so much more I have to accomplish. What I told Hardin about Reign’s powers is not even up a quarter of the truth. Yes, he is going to get some of her powers when he marks or mates with her, but those powers are not just Strength or speed. There is so much more.

They have no idea we are in a time of war. They have no idea that moment in the millennium where Alphas go against Alphas for power and wealth.

They have no idea this the time where we have to fight the Elemental battle because they all think it is a myth. I just need to get out of here and meet one zealous Alpha and everything will go down for this pompous Colton Alpha.

“Food for the prisoner” I hear a voice announce and when I snap my head, I see a young man, not more than twenty-five, sliding a plate of food towards me and I fight my urge to pick it up and throw it in his face.

I am Logan Anthony, one of the wealthiest men in the wall street pack, I don’t eat food meant for peasants.

“The Beta requested you be given your last meal before your execution tomorrow”

“I feel touched by his concern”

“Oh you should, tomorrow you will feel very touched when that mighty blade chops off that head of yours” He mocks and I swallow dryly.

I have seen how an execution is carried out before and it’s not a very pleasant sight.

I can’t face that kind of fate. I need to talk my way out of this place.

“I was wondering if you’ve ever heard of this Old Legend called the Elemental Battle” I wonder aloud and he scoffs in mockery.

“It’s quite an interesting story that my father once told me as a kid, but it’s as good as a myth”

“That’s what everyone thinks”

“It’s not just what we think, it’s a myth”

“What makes you think it’s a myth?”

“Well, I just don’t think it’s sensible that the Moon goddess will give a few werewolves some special powers that have to disappear after a war is over. Why give powers if she has to take them back?”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“So, is that why you think it’s a myth?”

“There’s a lot of weaknesses about the story that I don’t want to talk about. All I know is that it’s a myth. There’s no such thing as an Elemental battle ever!”

“Oh you silly child, all of you are a bunch of silly children! That battle is for real. This is the time of the Millennium when the Elementals battle has to be fought. The battle that had to determine the most prosperous and paramount pack for the next one thousand years!” I say with all seriousness and the stupid boy just laughs.

“Nice try old man, nice try”

“You see your Luna, Reign. Do you know why I had her locked up for eighteen years?”

“Because you are a psychopath! Who locks up their daughter for the first eighteen years her life?”

“Do you know why I did that?”

“Because of her extraordinary strength”

“Perfect! So, do you think it’s normal that a Shewolf will suddenly be born with extraordinary strength for no reason?”

“Well, people are born different”

“Accepted! People are born different, but do you really think they are born different for absolutely no reason?” I ask looking at him straight in the eyes and he goes mute. I can see his eyes searching and that means he’s confused and the best way to get into a man’s mind is when he is confused.

“I’m sure your father told you that the war starts with the birth of a miracle Luna who has all the Elemental powers but those powers will only manifest when she finally mates with an Alpha. It doesn’t matter who the Alpha is, as long as she mates with someone who has got Alpha blood, those powers will be unlocked and he too will have those same powers”

“Yeah, he said something like that”

“What if I told you that your Luna is that mysterious, is Reign and she has got all the Elemental powers?”

“Then I’ll say that’s good news, if we are about to fight a war, then, it’s a good thing that my Luna and Alpha will have an upper hand, we are going to win the goddamned war and we are going to keep ruling. I don’t know what you intend to get out this conversation, but I can assure you that you won’t get it. You are going to die tomorrow, take it or leave it!”

“I can give you a better life. You are such a fine young man, you deserve a more honorable post in a pack”

“Guarding freaks like you in the dungeon is a lot more honorable to me than you would ever imagine. Good night!” Then he walks away.

What exactly does Hardin give to these servants of his that make them so loyal to him.

I push the plate of food aside and run my fists in the wall until they bleed.

This is not how I will end up.

“Your said something about a war?”

Someone asks and I turn around to look and a see another young man standing before me.

“Yes I did” I reply as I walk closer to the door.

“The Battle of the Elementals right?”

“Exactly! Do you know about it?”

“I’ve read books about the previous battle and my late grandpa always warned me never to think it’s a myth and I have never had that thought. How close are we to the real battle?”

“Well, seems like your Alpha hasn’t marked his Luna yet, that’s why the special abilities in each Elemental hasn’t been discovered yet. The day he marks her, the fire, the water, the air and the Earth Elemental will all discover their strengths and the day they mate, they both get all the Elemental abilities and the scheming begins. It all starts with them!”

“I see… I have never really liked Alpha Hardin, I hate the fact that he is paramount Alpha and I will do anything in my power to strip him off that position and make him miserable. This battle seems like the perfect way to do that. What can I do to help?”

“If you can get me out of here, that will be perfect. All I need is to locate is a long time friend if mine called Alpha Ralph, he knows about this battle too, I just need to tell him the time is near and we will both start scheming. I can assure you that if you help us win this war, you will be rewarded greatly and you will no longer have to guard a dungeon ever again. You and youyour precious mate can live like royalty for the rest of your lives” I explain and he chuckles lightly.

“That sweet tongue of yours juts made you escape death. I will steal the keys once the rest of the guards are asleep and get you out of here. Once you meet with Alpha Ralph, whatever you guys discuss about, mink link me and if I have to help in anyway, I will. It’s about time the Coltons went down”

“You are an intelligent young man and for that, you will be greatly rewarded. What is your name?”

“Colin Marshall”

“Colin. It’s nice to meet you Colin”

“The pleasure is mine. I’ll take my leave now. Expect me anytime after midnight.”

“I will be waiting” He walks away and I lean against the wall and let out a heavily sigh of relieve.

That was close.

I’m not going to die. I’m finally going to accomplish my dreams. I am finally going to overthrow that pompous boy called Hardin.

This is the beginning of the end if him!
