Luna Catherine

Chapter 3

11th August 2018,

Rogue attack happened on the outskirts territory of the dark shine pack. All the trees were uprooted, fences around the Alpha's territory were broken clearly indicating the trespassing of the rogues. There were small pools of blood on every second step on the ground, furs and hairs of both human and wolves as well. There would have been a struggle made by the one who was attacked surely!

"Alpha! There is nothing in the south."… The warrior shouted loudly whilst peeping down on the ground from above the tree where he was standing in order to get clear and smooth access to the area. "I can see nothing in miles."… He continued to refer to his alpha, who stood with a sword in hand and blood covering his fair beard face.

He was tall, with fewer wrinkles around his eyes as compared to other wolves of his age, tall, well—built torso and pale yet shining skin. Sable brown eyes looking everywhere cautiously and the dead corpse of the rogues lying all around him blanketed with their blood. "Look briefly, I did hear soft muffles. I am sure there is someone there. I can sense something around. "… He spoke cleaning the blade of his sword by rubbing it on the body of a dead rogue whilst bending down. Indeed, he was worth to be an alpha not only because of his looks but also because of his seducing skills.

Anyway, he slowly yet with heavy steps walked ahead in the west direction, "Ryley! Ryley!!!"… Calling the name continuously. He jumped over the uprooted tree and stepped on the other side of it with a small sigh. His charcoal black hairs fell in front of his eyes making him look more handsome.

"Yes dad!"… And suddenly, there from his front, a guy, with similar Sable brown eyes and look alike features hopped out from within the bushes with a sword in his hand as well. Just the difference between him and the alpha was that, he was the younger version of his father. A perfect replica.

"Uhh pardon, I mean, Alpha Hercules."… Ryley, the Alpha's hot son, winked at his father with a stuck out tongue.

"If I am not wrong then we are here for a purpose, aren't we?"… Alpha Hercules questioned with a sly smile entertaining his pink lips.

In turn, Ryley trailed his tongue round his teeth with an open mouth looking extremely adorable. "I suppose."… He walked towards his father ruffling his hairs with a tired sigh. "By the way, I found this—"…. He removed a piece of necklace from his jeans pocket and handed it over to his father.

It was a diamond pendant with 'Valentine' written inside of the pendent.

Ryley bit his lower lip as his father closely examined the neck piece. "Jason, it's a girl, named Valentine!"… Alpha Hercules talked over his link looking at the pendant, Ryley incredulously saw his father's face, and he knew he was on his link talking to Mr. Pereira, the doctor of their pack.

Ryley's point of view…

"So how is that girl, what's her name… Mmmm… Yeah, Valentine!"… Clarke asked me munching into his hamburger. Just now lectures got over, and we were sitting all alone in the canteen eating our lunch. There was no single student except me and my gang, why? Simple because we do not like to see any morons face after the head aching lectures.

It is too much to tolerate, duh!

I simply placed down my glass of cold coffee looking at him, replaying his words in my mind. "How am I supposed to know that?"… I counter questioned him. Dude, she was not my girlfriend nor my mate then why on earth will I keep the information about her breaths or her pain!

Simple, isn't it?

This is the simple rule of my life… Don't stress your brain for somebody who does not have any place or importance in your life.

However, my friends did not seem too happy with my reply. Hazel, my girlfriend gave me a side kiss on the jaw feeling proud of my answer. This was the first time I could see her smiling face after that girl's (Valentine) entry in our lives – especially, mine.

"Dude, you said your father was teasing you with her name and then you say how are you supposed to know that? He is an alpha, he knows things better than anyone else! "… Zander, my bestie and the beta's son chipped. The looks on his face were oblivious of the naughtiness that was playing inside of his head. However, it did nothing but make Hazel to glare him with loud snarls.

" Ohhh, wild wolf! I like that. "… He winked at her flirtatiously and the others hooted. Sexy seventeen and three months older than me, Zander rules every girls' heart.

Cute face with deadly looks, thin yet strong body with pleasing height and blonde spiky hairs suited him well. His blue eyes were always mesmerizing. They conveyed more meaning than his voice.

Though, we could not talk using our link yet as we are not eighteen now, but I am sure, if we could then we could speak a lot of things.

"Yes I said that. You know as I described her state to you… I really don't think she could be my mate. In fact, she is a wincing little human girl who was crying for help!"… I reminisced that day again, that moment…

Flashback…

"Huh! He—l—lp"… However, she was not dead!

Both the alpha and the doctor stared at each other in shock while the team of soldiers around gasped looking at her amyotonia. Ryley was shaken badly to the core, she was surrounded by her own blood while the chuck of her meat laid half separated beside her on the floor. He could clearly see her intestines through, yet she was alive… f*****g alive!!! He blinked his eyes sucking in a deep breath, "Hel—p"… And her eyes that were hardly open, went tight shut.

"She passed away?"…. Ryley promptly chipped with a choke sitting down near her body beside doctor Jason looking over her figure. He was just going to touch her when,

"Passed out! She passed out. But she would pass away soon if we don't operate on her in time. Hercules, we have to take her to the pack hospital now."… He addressed alpha Hercules who nodded his head in agreement.

Keeping the sword inside of its cover on his back, he ran his hands through his hair that fell on his forehead," Ryley picked her up, come on. Head to the pack house immediately. "… His son has on his face the looks of extreme astonishment.

Did he mean that, Ryley have to pick her up who was drenched in blood from head to toe. He gave a view to his white shirt and then back at her with yuck kind of expressions. The smell of blood was nauseating for him.
