THE FORGOTTEN LUNA

ALPHA RASMUS.

"You lied to me!" Desiree shrieked.

I didn't stop myself from laughing loudly. The audacity of her to scream that to my face when she did the same thing, and she did way worse than I was.

I immediately cut my laughter short, and a scowl formed on my face. "I lied about being an Alpha to avoid women clinging to me as if I were a jackpot prize, while you lied because you wanted to cheat on Kael!"

In seconds, she was already standing in front of my desk. Her hands slammed on the oak table as her eyes dilated. "Do not judge me when you've never been in my shoes!"

My nose flared. I abruptly pushed the chair back and stood up, resting my hands on the desk before leaning my face closer to her. "Trust me. I never want to be in a whore's shoes."

Everything happened so fast after that, and before I could react or do something, her small hand had already landed on my jaw and made my head swing to the right.

I wasn't expecting that. And it stung.

"I'm not a whore! Take back what you said!"

A growl rumbled in my chest. No one had ever slapped me, and I couldn't accept this bimbo was the first one to succeed.

I wiped my cheek with my calloused palm before slowly tilting it back to meet her gaze. "Fucking whore." I said it slowly, enunciating every syllable.

Her eyes dilated again, and her hand raised, but before it landed on my face again, I grabbed it and pulled her to the side as I walked in the same direction. When there was no more table between us, I let go of her hand and grabbed her jaw before moving us to the nearest wall.

All the anger simmering inside me was unleashed when I slammed her back against the wall, my hand still cupping her jaw tightly.

"Let me go!" She was ramming her coiled fists onto my chest as she struggled to remove her face from my grip. But she was nothing compared to my strength.

I pushed my front onto hers, pinning her whole body to the wall before crashing my mouth against hers.

She bit my bottom lip hard, but it didn't do anything to me. I continued kissing her despite the taste of my own blood as she struggled to break free. Eventually, the fists hitting my chest slowed down, and her suppressed screams turned into moans. In less than a minute since I attacked her mouth, her arms snaked around my neck as she held on to me while her lips began to move in rhythm with mine.

I couldn't stop the wicked grin forming on my lips as I kissed her harder one more time before pulling away abruptly.

Her eyes snapped open as her arms loosened around me. The color drained from her face as she stared at me.

My grip on her jaw tightened before I pulled her gently from the wall and slammed her back against it one more time. "Tell me you're not a fucking whore. One kiss, and you'll surely spread your legs to anyone." "Fuck you!" She said in a low voice, gritting her teeth as her eyes watered.

"No, thanks. I'm done fucking you!"

She slapped my hand away and pushed me off her. This time, I didn't resist and stepped back away from her. There was already a distance between us when the door opened, and Dexter was behind it. "What's going on?" He asked in a cold voice.

Desiree's chest was still heaving, but no more tears were pooling in her eyes. Instead, all I saw was anger in them before she stormed out of the office without glancing at Dexter or me.

"What's that about?" He asked again, his gaze following Desiree even outside of the office.

"None of your business."

"I'm the Beta here." He snapped back as he stepped forward and closed the door.

"So? That was a personal affair."

"She's Kael's fiancée."

"Ex." I scoffed. "Why do you care anyway?" I scowled at him as I sat and eased my back against the chair. I saw the way he looked at her. I could see the concern. Or worry-or maybe, lust.

I had no fucking idea. But the thought of them having an affair didn't sit well with me. It seemed Desiree was too good at stringing too many males around her. And I was fucking too hormonal to fall for it.

I was not a saint. I sinned a whole lot. I was sure my soul was already burning in hell because Desiree was not the first woman I fucked that was cheating on their partner.

I didn't care at all. I just wanted a good fuck. We were all adults and could do whatever we wanted. If they want to cheat, then it's on them.

But Desiree- she was Kael's girl. She should have been off-limits. That was her fucking mistake because she didn't tell me.

"Are you listening?" Dexter's annoyed voice snapped me back to the present.

"Huh?" I asked as my head tilted up to look at him. He was already standing in front of my desk. "Again?"

"I said, the people looking for Miranda still had no lead about where she went after she left the territory."

"She might be dead already," I said, shrugging my shoulders as I picked up the pen and twirled it around my fingers. I was acting nonchalantly, but I saw his forehead crease while his eyes dilated for a brief second. He surely didn't like my comment.

I listened as he provided more details on the places they checked, including the banks they contacted to see if she had any accounts in them, but I also watched his expression.

He was having a hard time putting on a poker face. He was affected that she was gone. Kael might be right that he could be an accomplice to her but I could also feel there was more to it than just them working together.

And then, like a lightbulb, something came back in my head.

I remembered overhearing Uncle Khalid confiding to my father that he thought Dexter and Miranda were having an affair. Dad shrugged it off and told him Dexter's family had been this pack's Beta for a long time, and he would never ruin that because of just one female.

But what if Uncle was right?

So did this mean he was fucking Miranda? But what about Desiree? Was he fucking her too?

I tried to shove any thoughts of Desiree to the back of my mind and focused on Dexter and Miranda.

Was this also the reason Mom and I were kept in the dark when Kael was involved in an accident and was in a coma for a month?NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Many thoughts and questions ran through my head. And they were all not good.

I needed answers, and I was determined to find them. There was no way I would let Dexter near me if he had been sabotaging all the Alphas in this pack.

I didn't want him around me. One of us had to go, and it surely wouldn't be me.

Only one tonight. We will return to
