Saved By The Ruthless Alpha

A blue-eyed wolf

Lily

Wayne keeps avoiding me, and the other wolves trying to distance themselves from me. my so-called friends are now publicizing how they hate me, even Henry’s family can’t even look at my eyes.

To this day we still have no news about Henry, I could hardly sleep thinking about how he was, if he is okay or if he was still having a hard time. I feel like I can't continue to live if the only man who gave me hope and love is nowhere to be found.

“Lily,” one of the elders calls my name, she’s the only one talking to me after the incident. “You don't eat much now; do you think Henry will be happy that you do that to yourself?” I knew the old woman was worried about me, and I knew she wanted me to take care of myself so she even used Henry’s name.

But what can I do if I can’t act like I used to, I can’t especially when Henry isn’t by my side? I want to be angry with Wayne because he doesn't seem to be taking steps to find Henry again, I want to be angry with others because they are doing nothing to help find him, but I know in myself that no one else can be blamed but me. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't be damned and lost.

Maybe they are right, I am a Luna but nothing special about me. Now I understand why Henry’s family doesn’t like me even though I’m an Alpha. As the prophecy says I will only bring misfortune to all who come near me.

If only I had believed then and walked away from Henry, maybe he would be happy now with the woman he loved.

Once again tears welled up in my eyes which I tried to hold back, my chest tightened and I could barely breathe. I can’t even stop to sobs like a baby who lost her candy, I want to see Henry.

“Lily, don’t keep crying. Alpha Wayne said that there is still a possibility that Henry is still alive. Please, don’t make it hard, and don’t blame everything on yourself.” The old woman keeps patting my back but keeps crying and crying.

If I could just tell myself that I’m not at fault at all, that I shouldn’t cry I would. I want to be well and have the strength to find Henry myself, even if it hurts me, I will do everything to make sure that I still expect a henry in my life.

“I will leave the food here on the table, if you need anything just call us. I'm leaving so you can have time for yourself, I hope you'll be fine soon.” That's all she said and sighed before leaving me alone in the room.

Now that the surroundings are quieter, I feel more alone, I feel more absent of his presence next to me, I’m used so much that he is always ready to accompany me every day and for hours. Now, where is his promise not to leave me?

I’m alone now, where are you, Henry?

Slowly, I laid my body on the bed where we often talked side by side. I closed my eyes tightly as I remember how he keeps combing my hair using his long fingers.

Now, if you are gone ... How will I be able to rise again and live in the future when all the happy times in my life are always with you?

I could feel the cold air touching my skin causing me to slowly open my left eye, it is already dark outside and only the moonlight provided the light for me to see everything around.

I got up slowly even though I felt the weakness in my whole body, I don't know even if I'm not wearing slippers, I want to find Henry, he's my only life, my pleasure, the reason I keep fighting.

The squeak of the wooden door was the only noise I heard when I came out of the house, wearing Henry’s jacket and I slowly stepped away from the house and walked towards the forest where we last went together.

In the place where I left him alone and wounded.

Every step I take creates noise from the dry leaves on the ground, the memories of that night gradually coming back to me more clearly now that I am here again.

"Henry! I'm here, please show yourself." I shouted, I knew I look like I was going crazy, but I keep shouting and I couldn't, it was so painful. “Henry, please don’t leave me alone.”

I hate myself, I hate it more than anyone.

“You promised, you promised you would never leave me! You promised we'd meet again, you said ... you love me, Henry.” I whispered, let the winds hear how to hurt I am right now.

Hoping Henry will show up telling me he’s fine and he will come back to me as if nothing happened.

“Oh ... It's sad to see you cry while calling that man's name.” The cold voice with insult immediately caught my attention. “I never thought you would come back here to cry and look for him after what happened.”

A vampire, one of them that night.

I never thought he was still here wandering around even though this place is between the West and East border.

“You, where is Henry!” I shouted, I clenched my teeth in anger.

“That guy, why do you still want a man who can’t protect you? Or maybe you just came back here because of the guilt in your heart, do you feel the need for other people to punish you? Do you want to die too so you came here alone?” His eyes are full of amusement, asking me those questions makes him excited.

“You are wrong, I’m not here to die but to search for him. Tell me, where did you take him!” I shouted angrily, at some point there is small hope in my eyes that this vampire and tell me where is he.

“Do you think we will let him live until now? And if we did let him live, do you think I would tell you where he is right now?” he couldn't help but smirk at me, his long sharp fangs showed up. “Your foolish wolf will never come back, instead of talking like this; why don’t we have little fun?”

Before I could react to what he said, he quickly ran toward me. Attacking me non-stop is making me tired easily to dug every each of it, if only I eat the foods the old woman gave me, I had some strength to fight back.

Now, I have reason to hate myself even more!

“Look, this is not fun at all if you just avoid all my attacks. I said, let's have fun, not like this.” He complained as he continued to attack me.

“I’m not here to entertain your boring life, Vampire, I’m here to search for Henry!” I hissed at him, I can’t even lift my hands now.

He stops attacking and looks at me in disbelief, “Woah! Can’t you see yourself? I am being nice right now not to end your life easily. Don’t you feel grateful for that?” He tilted his head while saying such words in sarcastically tone.

“Grateful? I won’t be grateful to someone like you, a disgusting creature who only knows is to suck blood from others like a big parasite!”

I knew I was only making him angrier and giving him a reason to kill me, but I needed time to build up even a little strength. If I can't fight him then at least I have the strength to run away.

I also can't understand myself, for a few hours I really wanted to disappear but now that death is in front of me, I am scared, I want to run away, I want to live.

I'm a Luna, but a curse one. I can’t protect others, but I can protect myself. Even if it’s just myself, I can prove that I can.

“You're beautiful, but I don't like how you use your tongue, maybe you will only know how precious your tongue is once I cut it out!” I heard him curse under his breath, those eyes become redder.

If I can’t escape death now, I want to make sure we both die. At least, I could do something to get to take revenge on them for Henry.

I took the silver knife out of my pocket, my decision to take it is right.

“Then kill me, kill me if you can but I won't let you not die either.” I boldly made a statement in front of him as I held the knife tightly.

“Gosh, now I know why that alpha is ready to protect you at all cost, you are so interesting. I haven’t met a Luna like you in my thousand years of existence in this world only now. Tell me, are you not interested to become my link?” He gives me a creepy smile.

“NEVER!” I said with firmness.

“Aww, too bad to know that, babe. I don’t want to kill you, though.” He said sweetly but in a split second, he smirks and glared at me sharply, “but I have no choice, right? YOU NEED TO DIE!” He emphasizes the last words and quickly attacks me.

I was shocked, as I avoid his attack, I lost my balance reason for me to fall to the ground. F*ck, what is wrong with me!

“Are you a Luna? You are too weak to be one.” He insults me. “Now, now, stop being stubborn and just accept your death in my hands.”

But before he even lay his hand on me, a loud growl echoed in the surrounding.

A blue-eyed wolf looking in our direction and ready to attack at any second.

“What are you doing in my territory?!” He said.
