Descendant Of The Red Moon

Chapter 10

 “No, I’m not a werewolf  Victoria”, she spoke and looked at me with an expression I couldn’t quite decipher. She had dropped my hand but was still standing very close.

“You’re a hunter”, I whispered and she nodded.

“What do you want from me?”, I asked as panic slowly started setting in. I just don’t understand. If they wanted to attack the pack or Alexander, then what could they want a stupid human for.

“There is so much you don’t know about but you’ll know soon”, she spoke, her voice full of determination.

“What do you mean?”, I asked, but everything in me is telling me not to trust her so I slowly started backing away from her. I really need to get out of here but I need to distract her, there’s no way that I’d be able to fight her off.

“Stop, we have to go”, she warned me. I franticly started looking around if I saw anyone from the pack but they were all gone. I looked back at Melissa and saw she was approaching me.

“I’m not going anywhere with you”, I yelled. Where is this stupid overprotective ‘nothing will ever touch you’ mate of mine when you f*****g need him.

“Yes you are”, she spoke and started advancing towards me.

Forget the distraction, I’m out. I quickly turned around and started running, feeling her right behind me.

I entered the kitchen but there was again nobody there, all probably fighting the rogues or hiding.

“Stop being stubborn Victoria”, she entered the kitchen, clearly annoyed.

“Why does everybody keep saying that” I looked at her as she came around the counter and it was obvious her physique was way better than mine. My arms are twigs if you compare them with hers.

“Stay away from me”, I warned her but she leaped on me making us both fall, her on top of me. I started kicking and pushing her but she had me pinned down. I kept wiggling but she easily kept me down with one hand, the other getting something from her pocket.

“It didn’t have to go this way”, she mumbled, ignoring my protest.

“Let me go”, I yelled at her but she just ignored me again and took something out of her pocket. f*****g handcuffs, no way.

I started wriggling again, managing to free one of my legs and kicked her straight between the legs. It probably doesn’t hurt as much as it would with a guy but it was enough for her to let go of my hands. I got my hands out of her grip and hit her straight in the face with my cast, making her fall straight to the side of me on the floor.

I got up as quickly as I could and started running again.

“You shouldn’t have done that, Victoria”, she screamed after me.

Alexander p.o.v.

We had been fighting the rogues for some time now, but they were acting weird. It was like they had no idea what they were doing either, like they were just pushed into a m******e. They weren’t trying to get anywhere or trying to kill someone. It was just weird.

“What on earth are they doing?” Chris mindlinked as he pushed down yet another one of those filthy rogues.

“I have no idea, but they’re for sure keeping us busy. This is even better than training”, Logan butted in, receiving a glare from the both of us. This guy can’t take anything serious now can he.

“One hour would have definitely sufficed then, three is just pure overkill”, Chris responded as we kept pushing of the rogues.

It’s true. They’re just completely wasting time.

But why would they…

And then an eerie feeling made it’s way through my body, making me wish that what I’m about to say is wrong.

“It’s a distraction”, I spoke and both of their gazes immediately went towards the house.

This better be a f*****g joke.

I started running towards the packhouse, killing of every rogue that even thought of getting in my way. As soon as I came up to the house I shifted and started running upstairs, not giving a single care that I was completely naked.

I ran through the fourth floor and ripped out the door of my office, storming in.

She isn’t here. She isn’t f*****g here. This can’t be happening. Maybe she ran, her being her, she probably wouldn’t stay here anyway.

I started following her scent again which was almost impossible. She’s been living here for almost a month, her scent is f*****g everywhere.

I franticly started going through the whole house, opening every door hoping to find her. I finally made it downstairs but still no sign of my mate. I was really close to losing it… Searching the rooms, I still didn’t find anything until I neared the kitchen.

“Anything yet?” Logan linked me but I just ignored him and entered the kitchen. Her scent was the strongest here so this couldn’t have been too long ago. I started following her scent again until I went around the corner. I stood still and my breath and my heart both stopped. There was blood on the floor and it went deeper in the house, leaving a trail. I was ready to go all crazy and tear everything apart but then I smelled it. It wasn’t my mates blood, she fought them off… Good.

I started following her scent and the blood outside but only a few meters out, they both just disappeared. Like they both just vanished into thin air.

Fuck no, how could I let this happen. I went back inside and started throwing and punching everything I could. My wolf was completely in control right now.

This has to be a joke. I’ve been telling her this is the safest place she could possibly be and I still let this happen. I just don’t deserve her, I should have stayed away. If anything happens to her, I won’t be able to stop. I’ll destroy everything and possibly myself in the process.

“ALEXANDER”, I turned around and was ready to pounce on whoever interrupted me. I saw Louis, standing next to the couch. Well, a part of the couch.

“SHE’S NOT HERE”, I yelled back and was ready to start punching again.

“And we’ll find her. So get your s**t together”, he said, receiving a growl from me but he was right. I closed my eyes and slowly started getting control again. We have to find her.

“The rogues are dealt with. We got one of them in the dungeons”, he told me and threw me a pair of shorts.

When we arrived at the dungeons the awful smell immediately invaded my nose but that wasn’t my priority right now. She was.

I walked in and saw the rogue tied to a chair.

“So, are you ready to tell me what you were doing on my territory?” I asked him calmly as I sat down on a chair a few feet away from the rogue. I knew that I couldn’t loose control again. I have to show this s**t who’s in charge right now and who’s the filthy animal.

He didn’t say anything, just kept a dirty smile on his face.

“Answer the alpha, you bastard”, Chris spoke, his tone making the whole dungeon shiver, except for me of course. He and Logan probably decided to keep this one alive, proving why they’re my beta and third.

“For your sake, you’ll better answer so I’ll ask you ONCE more. What were you doing on my territory?”, I spoke louder and the smile left his face.

 “I’m not telling you s**t. Whatever you do to me, they will be a hundred times worse”, he finally spoke.

“Who will?”, I asked already pretty sure about the answer. He kept silent for a moments.

 “The hunters”, he said, the hate and fear for them clear.

“f**k”, I stood up and threw the chair across the dungeon. I should have known, the sneaky bastards…

“Kill him”, I commanded and I started walking out.

“NO, no wait, alpha. I coul-“, his pleas immediately got cut short. I didn’t even have to turn around to know he’s already dead on the floor. He’s involved with getting my mate away from me, I’ll show no mercy.

When I went back to my office, I started calling everyone. Matthew, neighboring alpha’s, even the f*****g human police but I didn’t get anything except from confusion plus the yelling and swearing from Matthew. But what was worse is that it felt like she was still here. I had gotten so used to her coming here every day and sitting on her spot next to the window. Whenever she was around, I felt complete. Every whole in my heart because of my past, she filled it without effort.   

“Did you hear anything?”, I looked up from my desk and saw Amélie standing in the doorway, a sad expression covering her face.

“No” I leaned my head down, resting it in my hands.

I heard her sigh and step towards me.

“Everybody is looking for her, Alexander. We’ll find her, we have to”, she said and I looked up. Tears were streaming down her face and I immediately went towards her.

“We can’t loose her this way”, she whispered and I took my little sister in my arms. It isn’t just me that fears loosing her. She’s not just my mate anymore, I’m pretty sure most pack members already see her as family and they would do anything for her.

I close my eyes and all the horrible images start filling my mind. Them hurting her, f*****g touching her, even killing her. I even hear her calling out to me. Wait..

“Alexander”, I hear again and my eyes immediately snap in the direction where it came from.

There she was, standing in front of me. I almost leaped over Amélie and swung my arms around her, her arms circling me as well.

“You’re okay”, I whispered as my arms completely crushed her.

“I’m okay”, she said and my mind finally started getting it. She’s really here.

I pulled back to look at her and my eyes started going over her clothes, full of blood.

“It isn’t mine”, she spoke and showed me the most angelic smile possible. My princess is safe…

I kept looking at her, drowning in her eyes. She’s absolutely perfect and I’m never letting her go again.

“Oh, f**k off”, I heard and got shoved aside, my sister taking Victoria in for a hug. I growled at her but she just stuck her tongue out.

I finally looked behind them and saw Logan and Ashton. They were having a silent conversation, Logan glaring at Ashton.

“Where have you been to whole day?” I asked Ashton. It’s true, this little fucker has been missing the whole day.

“Those assholes got me and Victoria. I got us out”, Ashton spoke but his eyes stayed on Victoria.

“Explain”, I said sternly, earning his attention.

“Jill and I-“

“IS SHE SAFE?”, Logan interrupted him, worried for his sister.

“She’s fine, i***t”, he said, Logan glaring at him. I cleared my throat and looked at him to continue.

“Soo, we were out for a run and kind of lost track of time. When we got back, we heard about the attack through the packlink. I told her to go find the girls and I made my way over to you guys but before I got there some fucker shot me with wolfsbane and knocked me out”, he explained.

“What then?”

Ashton p.o.v.

These asshole are dead. I know they ‘secretly’ kill werewolves for fun but you can’t just take the fourth of one of the most known packs and get away with that. Hunter or not.

“Where the f**k did you assholes take me?” I spoke when I didn’t recognize my surroundings. It was a big cement basement, carton boxes laying on the floor, dust and spiderwebs everywhere and one dim lightbulb that barely lit up the room.

“Shut up, mutt”, one of the two dudes came up to me and hit me straight across the face. Yup, imma kill him. Painfully if I get the time for it.

What are they even doing? I woke up like this, tied up and still a little weak from the wolfsbane with these two idiots ‘guarding’ me. No worries though, a little longer and I’ll snap these ropes followed by those hunters necks. They don’t look that trained anyway.

I just kept staring at the two idiots in front of me, a smirk on my face. Both of their faces went towards the door as we heard screaming coming from outside. They both turned back to me and smirked back at me. Idiots.

“LET ME GO”, I heard and lost my smile not long after that. It came from not far out the door but I just hope that it’s not who I think it is.

A few more seconds and the door burst open.

“s**t”, I muttered as I saw two other hunters drag in Victoria. It was pretty funny they needed two for the job though, even with her hands tied. They put her down next to me and her eyes turned wide as soon as she saw me.

“Oh my god Ashton, are you okay?” she said as she saw my face. I didn’t care that those guys hit me earlier, I was gonna give them a lot worse but with her here things could get difficult.

I just smiled at her, showing I was okay, and continued to glare at the four idiots in front of us.

After a long time of just sitting there, a short woman entered, holding ice against her nose.

“So it seems you just broke my nose. Not really nice since I’m  trying to help you, Victoria”, the woman said and came to stand in front of us. Wow, she fought of a hunter. Alexander would be super proud of her, she’ll be the perfect luna.

“You kidnapped us. How is that helping me?”, Victoria snapped at the woman. Damn, even in a situation like this she as feisty as ever. The woman turned to me and looked at me with an annoyed expression.

“What’s this mutt doing here”, she turned to the guys behind her. She’s lucky I’m in ropes…

“He was getting close to you and her, so we took him out”, one of the guys told her, keeping is eyes on the floor. It’s pathetic, these guys were huge compared to her but shivered away from her. Power of a woman I guess…

“Well you obviously didn’t take him out so now I have to deal with him”, she said with a certain arrogance and walked over to them so we couldn’t hear them anymore.

I turned to Victoria and I saw the situation was finally getting to her.

“Hey, don’t worry. We’re getting out”, I smiled at her and started wriggling my hands around. Probably one hard pull and I’m out of them, we’re going to be fine.

“Just get back as soon as you can”, I told her and she nodded.

“Allright, I had a great time but we have to go”, the woman came towards me, this time with a silver dagger in her hand.

I looked at Victoria one last time and smiled at her. This is it, I’m ready to kill these fuckers.

Alexander p.o.v.

“And I got us out”, Ashton finished, again looking at Victoria. I turned to her as she averted her eyes to the ground, nervously playing with her fingers.

They’re not telling me something.

“What are you not saying?” I asked Ashton through the mindlink. Call me a hypocrite but he can’t keep important s**t about her from me. I need to know.

He sighed and looked down as well.

“I will tell you everything later, I promised her”, he said and I nodded at him. I went to Victoria again.

“Are you sure you don’t need to see a doctor?”, I asked her, putting some hair behind her ear.

“I’m sure”, she said and I took her small hand in mine.  

“Let’s get you cleaned up”, I spoke and we left the office.

“Next time, answer your damn phone”, Logan punched Ashtons shoulder as the two left the office as well, Amélie following behind them.

When we entered our room, it was already dark outside. Victoria went to the closet to get some clean clothes, making me realise I was still just wearing shorts. She was smiling and telling me everything was okay but I felt that something else happened. I just hope this was the first and the last time they ever get close to her again.

“I’ll be in the bathroom”, Victoria spoke and I turned to see her already standing at the door.

“Okay”, I smiled at her and she closed the door. That closed door was already making me nervous. Starting from today I’m not going to feel happy unless I see her safe and sound beside me. So I quickly go sit next to the door of the bathroom, just to make sure she’s completely fine. After a few minutes I hear the shower turn on and I close my eyes. She’s okay, relax.

I open my eyes again and the bathroom door opens again as I heard her speak.

“I forgot my brush”, she said stepping out until she saw me sitting next to her door.

“What are you doing?” she asked as her eyebrows cutely scrunched together.

“I’m just making sure you’re safe. I wont ever feel okay again unless you’re next to me”, I told her, sounding awfully desperate.

“Do you want to join me?”, she asked, looking down. I sprung up and pushed her against the door.

Her breathing became rapid as she kept her gaze down.

“Look at me sweetheart”, I whispered and her sparkling eyes met mine.

“Ask me again”, I said, my eyes not leaving hers. She started blushing and I could melt on the spot. She’s accepting it… She’s accepting the bond, I can feel it.

“Ask me again”, I told her again when she stayed quiet.

“Do you want to join me?” she whispered slowly and took her bottom lip between her teeth. I leaned forward, breathing in her scent. She’s just like a drug to me.

“Do you even know what you’re doing to me”, I muttered and started placing kisses on her neck, her jaw, her cheek. I felt her going soft in my arms but I stopped right when I was about to reach her lips and looked at her again.

“Tell me you want me to join you” she looked at me for a few moments and started licking her lips.

“I want you to join me”, she spoke and my heart started beating faster than it already did. I listened to her heart and it wasn’t a lie which only added more to the fire. I quickly connected her lips with mine before something could possibly ruin this moment between us. I pushed her even more against the wall and she gasped, making it easy for my tongue to find hers. My hands were slowly tracing her skin, groping on of her boobs through the towel as her hands were tightly locked in my hair. The room was shortly after filled with her beautiful sounds as I started sucking her neck again, exactly at the spot I would mark her. Her heart was beating like crazy, letting me know I wasn’t the only one feeling this.

I slowly started going to the edge of her towel and I ripped it off of her, taking her by surprise. I took a step back to look at her and I couldn’t feel more blessed. She was captivating, everything about her. I looked back up in her eyes and she was breathing heavily, making the situation in my pants even more uncomfortable. Her eyes were focused on my shorts as well, or better what was underneath of them.

“Go ahead sweetheart”, I growled lowly and she shyly stepped forward. She looked at me again and I nodded, placing my hand on her cheek. I saw her reach for the waistband of my shorts as my eyes attentively followed every action. She let out a big breath and in one swift motion she pulled the shorts down, leaving us both bare in front of each other.

“Let’s take that shower now”, I spoke in her ear and picked her up, her legs tightly around my waist.

After our shower, I put her in one of my shirts and asked for some food to be brought up. I didn’t do anything except for kissing her and a few innocent touches, I felt she wasn’t completely ready for that. She didn’t tell me to stop but I could feel her starting to get overly nervous and I want her to be a hundred percent sure when we go further. Does that leave me sexually frustrated? Yeah, but I’ll bare with it. I do anything for her.

When the food came up she was already settling herself between the pillows but I wanted her to eat something before I go talk to Ashton. She ate her food without protest and right after started snuggling into the bed again.

“Princess, I have to go. I’ll be back in a little okay?” she opened her eyes a little and sleepily smiled at me.

“Okay”, she closed her eyes again and I placed a kiss on her forehead, leaving for my office after.

“Alpha”, Ashton spoke as I entered my office, him sitting in on of the chairs. I went to my desk and sat down myself.

“What happened, Ashton. I don’t want to leave her alone for longer than needed”, I told him and he nodded.

“I didn’t save her from the hunters earlier. She saved me”, he said, a certain glint of guilt in his eyes.

“How?”, I immediately asked him. Hunters are trained all their life and your telling me she took them all on without any training?

“I think it’s true, Alexander. Her grandfather was right all along”, he looked down and I felt my stomach drop.

“I think it’s time you tell her, man”, he continued and he was right.

“Arrange for the move of her family. It can’t wait anymore”, I commanded and got up from my chair.

“Yes, alpha”, he spoke and I nodded, making my way out of the office again.

I knew there were suspicions but I’d really hoped they weren’t true. This will only bring her into more danger…

I step into the room again and quickly strip, leaving on my boxers.

“You talked to Ashton?”, Victoria speaks softly, not meeting my eyes as I slip into bed next to her.

“I did”, I say and lift her chin, making her look at me.

“Can we not talk about it right now” I nod at her and pull her against my chest, my hand resting on her waist. I feel her snuggle into me and after a while, her breath starts to even out, tickling the side of my neck.

“Je t’aime, mon amour”, I whisper in her ear, not sure if she heard.

“Mmh”, I hear her mumble, her eyes staying closed.

“I love you, Victoria”
