Alpha King's Runaway Luna

Chapter 4

Ana’s P.O.V.

The way home was very hectic. I was very eager to meet my family. I know they would be surprised to see me there. Imagining their faces, I smiled. My brother texted me the address, so it was not difficult to get there.

I take a deep breath and gather myself. I ring the bell and wait for someone to open it. A guard opened the door and looked at me suspiciously. They can’t recognize me as they never saw me.

Ignoring him, I entered the house. A maid was standing in the lounge as I entered.

“Where is mom dad?” I asked, looking around. The maid looked at me with surprise.

“I am Anna, their daughter. Tell me where they are?” I explained to her.

“Alpha is in his studies,” the Maid replied. I moved towards the study room, wondering in my heart. If he was at home, how could he forget my birthday? Before I could even open the door, I stopped in surprise at the voices coming from inside.

"We had an agreement. Hiding Ana will not solve this problem. They will wreak havoc.” A male voice echoed. I knew he was my brother but his words were confusing. I wonder what he wanted to say.

“But Anna is innocent. It’s hard for me to hand her over to them. They will torment her every day.” Dad said in a shaky voice. Hearing this took my breath away.

“Adam is the king of cruelty. He will kill us mercilessly. He will take Anna and crush our pack by killing us mercilessly. In this way, we couldn’t even protect Anna. So it is better to let them take Anna. I asked her to come home. She will be there anytime.” He said in a stony tone. He was my brother. How could he talk about me like that?

“No. How selfish you are. You are the one who killed his brother and now how easily you are saving yourself by sacrificing your sister. She is innocent and weak. She can’t bear this. Regan, please do something.” My mom screamed in agony. Tears welled up in my eyes. So this was the secret to which I was sent so far but my selfish brother called me there.

“Don’t be emotional mom. We have no other choice.” My brother’s heavy voice made me tremble. I knew it couldn’t be done. Dad will not do this to me. I felt hatred for Enzo.

“I knew this was hard. But we had no choice. He is a cruel and ruthless man. He will not hesitate to kill us mercilessly. We had to accept his conditions in order to save ourselves. Don’t be angry. It will be better for us. If we obey him, we…..” I couldn’t hear anymore, pushed the door open and went inside. All of them were shocked to see me. My face was getting red with anger.

“Anna.” My mother moved towards me but I was not in that condition. I looked at Enzo, my elder brother.

“How can you even think like that?” I screamed, looking at his face. He got up from his seat and approached me.

“I’m so sorry, Anna," he said gently, "I don’t want this to happen. I hated having to tell you this, but you were the asset he was looking for, and he would accept nothing less. If he takes his revenge by killing me, believe me, I am ready to submit myself to him, but he will kill us all, so we had better accept what has been decided.” He was speaking in a soft tone and I stared up at him. A chill of sheer stark terror turned the blood in my veins to ice water. He tried to touch my hand.

I quickly backed away as the truly horrifying ramifications of his words began to sink into my spinning mind.

“How could you even think of doing this to me?” I asked with shock. There was fear and anguish in my dark, staring eyes.

"You don't understand. We had to do it. It was the only way. I know he is a ruthless man. If we hadn't agreed to his terms, he would have crushed us down. We had to do it, dammit, we had no choice. If there had been any other way but there wasn't.” He cupped my face in his hands but I jerked his hand.

“Dad.” I called out to dad. Dad was sitting quietly. I wonder why he was silent. Why was he not denying it outright? He turned away from seeing me and I was shocked.

How could he even think that?

He was my father.

“Mom.” I looked at my mom. She was silently shedding tears.

“No, you will not do this to me. I am going back. I don’t want to stay here. No.” I was tired of shouting.

"I really am sorry, Anna," Dad whispered, and I became like stone.

"I love you Anna, but I had to do it. I know you are a brave girl. I tried my best to protect you but I failed. Forgive your helpless father.”

“Don’t tell me this. I will not forgive you. I will run away from here.” I quickly cut dad off and turned back, but I had to stop.

“The Alpha King is here,” a maid informed, in a trembling voice. My dad’s face got pale. Mom’s condition was similar. Seeing their condition, it seemed that they were suffering from severe fear.

“Let’s go.” Dad moved quickly outside. The plea in his eyes made me helpless. I was left alone. I wondered who it was whose fear was holding my parents' breath. I thought of running away, but what if he killed my parents? This thought made me paralyze. I can’t leave them in this trouble. With trembling legs, I moved toward the lounge.

“We thought you would be troubled. That's why I have come to take what belongs to me now.”

When I entered, I heard a heavy, arrogant voice. My gaze fell on a tall young man who was sitting majestically on the couch.

I took a look at him. Dark blond hair, almond shaped eyes whose ice blue color was giving me a chill, strong cheekbones, short stubble, and full lips, with a slightly flat upper lip. Three buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, revealing perfectly toned chest muscles. I looked around and was shocked.

“Alpha King.” Everyone bowed in reverence to him but he was staring at me. His eyes were deep and piercing. A shiver ran down my spine.

“Who is she?” After a long, horrible silence, his heavy voice emerged into the room.

“She is the daughter of Regan.” A man, standing beside him, spoke. I was standing there with downcast eyes. I knew my life was going to be worse than' animals'. With a rock-like hardness on his face, he walked step by step and approached me.

He was staring at me with his bloody eyes. Why was he looking at me like that? Suddenly, his face darkened. His hand came up and wrapped it around my neck.

He was increasing the pressure on my neck, my breath started getting heavy and my eyes filled with water. I coughed badly and squirmed in his grip.

Mom was screaming. Dad rushed forward but was stopped. I thought he was definitely going to kill me.

I didn’t even resist. My wolf was silent. Today it was proved that I was weak, extremely weak.

And when I felt that this was my end, he stopped.

Leaving me in shock, he backed away. I fell on the ground with spindly legs.

“Take her.” Giving orders, he took long steps and went out quickly. Two mutilated men stepped forward and proceeded to take my lifeless being.

I was not even in a position to resist. I cast a last farewell look at the helplessness of my parents. They were crying. My mother was yearning. My brother stood facing away. And my heart… was unconsciously afraid.

I was blindfolded.

The car was moving towards its destination and my mind was trying to reduce the fear that had permeated my entire being.

My eyes began to flutter shut and soon darkness fell before my eyes.
