Alpha's Reunited Lovers

chapter 1

Chloe's POV

I sat at the top of a hill with a few friends and well-wishers, it was my 18th birthday and I'll finally be able to shift to my wolf form.

We were all celebrating my special day and it was even more special for me because I knew, once I'm able to shift; Dexter, my long-time lover who happens to be the Alpha of our pack, would finally announce to everyone that I am his mate.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time and this is important to me.

"Chloe come up, it's 11:58" I heard a voice call and immediately ran towards the edge of the cliff and stood there waiting for it. Yes, it was my turn to shift.

I wondered what my wolf form would look like and what color of fur I'd be granted. I'm sure I'd look breathtakingly beautiful as a wolf, I was hoping I'd be the most beautiful to Dexter.

I stood there quietly, my heartbeat sped up to an incredible beat and I didn't know what to expect. I was told by Dexter and some of my friends in the pack that it would be painful and uncomfortable for me but I was willing to go through it all, my biggest reward in it all was to be with the love of my life.

I'd finally be able to become Luna of the pack and the mate to the Alpha, Dexter.

The moon finally came into full view at exactly midnight and I looked up at its beauty and waited patiently for the moon goddess to bless me with the ability to shift into my wolf form.

My heartbeat kept racing louder and louder and everyone sat at the edge of their seats. Then it all began, everyone suddenly began changing into their wolf form and I closed my eyes in anticipation of the pain that was to come.

After a while, I heard the other werewolves howling loudly at the moon but I didn't feel the urge to so I tried howling too but my voice sounded the same.

I wondered why I wasn't feeling any pain, had Dexter lied about the pain so I would get scared? I couldn't help but chuckle in my mind as I thought of that.

Then I slowly opened my eyes, I looked around me to see the other werewolves had shifted into their forms and I looked down the hill and onto the water to find that I was still the same; I hadn't shifted. Why hadn't I shifted?

What's going on? I kept asking questions internally then looked up at the moon confused. I didn't understand what was going on.

The other werewolves looked at me in disbelief and wonder, I knew what they were all thinking. Never had it been heard of in the pack that a werewolf wasn't able to shift at their 18th birthday, I felt so rejected by the moon goddess.

I wondered what I had done wrong to deserve such a punishment. If I couldn't shift tonight then there was no way I'd be able to shift ever again.

Someone walked up to me and shifted into his human form. "It's fine. Maybe-" he tried to console me but I didn't want to have any of it so I cut him off

"Please leave. Everyone leaves. The party's over" I yelled and they slowly dispersed one after the other.

I knew they all pitied me, but I truly didn't want their pity. I looked up at the moon once more with tears in my eyes, I wondered why the moon goddess would do this to me.

Did I do something wrong? Was this all a dream of some sort?

"Hey, Chloe. I know you want to be alone right now but it's late already. The other werewolves are retreating to their homes and I think you should go back to the Alpha now.

I'm sure he'll understand " I recognized the voice of someone who had been talking to me. It was Reina, we weren't that close but I knew she wanted good for me.

I looked up to her slowly with tears streaming down my eyes. "It's not about him. Why have I been rejected by the moon goddess Reina?

What have I done to deserve such a severe punishment, I trained so hard day and night my whole life waiting for this moment. I am the strongest werewolf in the pack and that made me worthy in Alpha Dexter's eyes to become his Luna.

But then why haven't I been made worthy in the moon goddesses' eyes? Why is she punishing me" I cried out loud.

Reina crouched down and embraced me from behind. I knew she was trying to console me but I felt that I am the only one who knew just how terrible it feels to be rejected by the moon goddess.

This is not just a rejection but also a curse given to me by the moon goddess. I will never be able to shift forms for the rest of my life, what kind of Luna would I be? A Luna with no wolf? I'm more or less a human right now.

After crying and crying for a while longer, I finally got up and left the hill with Reina. She got me home to the alpha's mansion and then went on to her home.

I walked in with controlled steps, I wondered how the Alpha would react when I told him I was unable to shift. I met him atop the stairs, he was looking down at me with a confused expression.

"Seeing as you are not in your wolf form right now, I could easily guess that the rumors I heard are true" he spoke up in his cold dark tone

"Well. I- i- th- ....it-" I kept stuttering, not knowing the right words to say to him.

He just went back upstairs to his room, I followed after him and got to the door. I opened it and walked in to see him getting undressed.
