Luna’s Cursed Mating Alliance

Chapter 3

The argument between the two persisted, but I was baffled by it. "Stop fighting."

They had been battling since they were kids, and they were childhood friends. I had always stood between them and the action to halt them. Thankfully, they took my advice.

Thankfully, they also stopped fighting this time, despite the fact that they were still glaring each other down and refusing to accept the truce. Even though they are almost adults, they still behave like kids.

"Sister, with whom are you travelling?"

Although Lucia posed the question, her firm hold on my arm suggested that she already knew the appropriate response. Luke caught my attention because he knew exactly what I would choose and why. He then moved towards his own automobile while raising his hand and making a series of "OK" gestures.

Nevertheless, Lucia made sure to give Luke a victorious grin, and the latter couldn't help but snort.

What were you doing yesterday night, sis? she asked. Lucia continued to give my arm a strong grip as she sat next to me. She did not flinch when she looked at me.

Since we were little, I had done my best to look after Lucia as her older sister. We were the closest of friends because we grew up together.

I had never kept a secret from Lucia because I had such high regard for her. For her, it was the same. There were several things that Lucia handled more responsibly than I did as she grew older. As a result, I occasionally confided in her about my problems and asked for her opinion.

I typed out my reply on my phone, hoping the driver wouldn't find out.

[I was intoxicated yesterday; I had no memory of anything when I awoke.]

I took a moment to gather my thoughts before moving on.

After that, I learned that I had slept with another pack's alpha.

I didn't mention having a bed with Drake from the Dark Night Pack. I didn't intend to share this information with anyone. He is, after all, the greatest foe in our pack. If anyone found out, it would be too embarrassing. I chose to keep this information private.

"What?!"

Lucia screamed in disbelief when she saw the message on her phone. She looked at me incredulously, trying to tell if I was joking. All of this was accurate, though.

Every she-wolf in the werewolf community was taught from birth to dedicate herself exclusively to her mate. There was a sacrosanct rule among werewolves that was unalterable and unbending.

I was the cunning she-wolf that disobeyed that holy law right then and there.

Yes, I did spend the night with the Alpha of another pack.

I sent her the phrase once more.

Lucia's eyes widened as she saw that I wasn't joking. F*ck!" she yelled as she hit her thigh fiercely.

The driver kept turning his head to look at us in the rear seat because he was so terrified.

Do you know who that b*stard is? She then typed. He will be killed by me.

[Be sensible. I'm not familiar with him.

I lied.

Lucia clenched her head and cast me a little critical look. Why didn't you snap a picture, sis? This place is packed with people. How will we make things right with him?"

"I ran away because I was so scared when I woke up."

In my presence, Lucia felt very powerless. She sighed heavily as the two of us became lost in our own thoughts. After that, neither of us said anything further.

Three weeks had passed quite swiftly. Today marked my coming of age and my ascension to the position of Alpha within the pack.

All the powerful werewolves in our pack came to the ceremony, which was really big. They invited everyone, even the alphas of rival packs.

I walked the red carpet in high heels and a stunning outfit while doing elaborate makeup.

I was taken to the platform to stand before my father by my father's most dependable Beta, who grasped my left hand with respect.

I was now required to execute my first transformation since turning eighteen, the age at which all werewolves began their transition into maturity, in front of the entire audience of werewolves. It was time for my wolf to arise. Then I would formally take over as Alpha of our pack.

The possibility of meeting my mate would also result from reawakening my wolf, which was something I was looking forward to.

I finally made my way to the middle of the stage. The pack's crown was placed on my head by my father. I growled softly as I basked in the moonlight. My first change into an adult was about to start.

As I exerted all of my effort to change, I crouched down and held out my fingers. However, I was unable to detect any changes. Have I failed to change?

My heart felt as if it were being crushed tightly by someone as I tried again in shock. My entire body was screaming in anguish, and my stomach was getting heated. I eventually lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

My entire family was by my side when I awoke once more. My younger sister was in tears. Lucia gave me a bear hug as soon as she saw that I had opened my eyes. "Sister, you're awake at last. You absolutely terrified me.

My mother held my hand as she worriedly looked at me. "What caused you to pass out during the transformation? You were inspected by the pack's physician for a considerable amount of time just now, but he was clueless.

My father was the same as usual. He kept a straight expression, but when he noticed that I was awake, a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes. The family physician next to him received an order from him. She is now awake. Give her a thorough and in-depth inspection.

Even though Father had always been respectable, he suddenly appeared even more so. The family doctor's body was already drenched in cold sweat just from standing next to him. The family doctor immediately lifted me up to be examined in the examination room after hearing my father's statements.

After some time had passed, the family physician hesitantly entered the room, carrying a substantial stack of reports.

I noticed his reluctance and instantly thought back to that ridiculous evening. My heart instantly filled with a frightening thought, and I began to quiver violently. My anxiety level increased. I struggled for a while to settle down.

Lucia was unable to comprehend how I was feeling or why. She held me and whispered, "Sister, don't be scared. She assumed that I was afraid of getting sick. You'll be alright.

Father commanded the doctor to talk fast after noticing the doctor's peculiar behaviour. The family physician was still unsure, though.

I mentally prayed in silence. "It cannot be; it cannot be."

In the end, the family physician made the bold decision to confirm that she was expecting.

I could feel the sharp blade coming to descend on my neck as punishment for my awful acts, as the family doctor's remarks were like an order to an executioner.

If a she-wolf gave birth to a child with someone other than their mate, they would be referred to as "inferior wolves" among the werewolf community.

Being classified as a subordinate wolf entailed being barred from joining a pack's territory, being kicked out, and being abandoned to spend the remainder of their lives in uninhabited areas.

Superior wolves would go insane if they were made to live outside of any pack, especially since others would view them as traitors. Considering that their territory was located in cities, none would leave their packs. Anyone who lived outside alone would find it difficult to survive.

Even if our group didn't have a law like that and wouldn't drive such ladies out of the city, they would nonetheless treat them as "inferior wolves" and leave them to fend for themselves without the pack's help.

This made me feel anxious in my mind more and more. I was worried I might start acting like one of them. The ladies I despised the most were those who had to work in order to survive due to their poor decisions.

What just happened? You must have made a mistake somewhere, you quack.

Lucia was the first to respond when she heard the family doctor's assessment. She requested that he reexamine me as she seized his collar in utter disbelief.

I dipped my head and peered covertly at Father and Mother's faces. Mother's eyes were unblinking and immovable as she stared at me in disbelief.

Father scowled as though he were hearing a rumour. He also did not take the advice of the family doctor seriously.

The family doctor was under pressure from three people, but he refused to let them undermine his skills and reputation as a doctor. He stumbled, but he still managed to say, "No, I'm not mistaken. I've checked multiple times, and the outcome is consistent.

"You!" My younger sister was still resistant to accepting it. She attempted to punch the family doctor because she was so enraged. The latter was so frightened that his legs fell asleep, and he nearly passed out.

I drew my sister back quickly and ducked my head, not daring to look at my parents. "Lucia, forget it," I whispered in a voice as quiet as a mosquito's buzz. Whatever happens, the result cannot be changed.

Father and Mother both turned to look at me as they heard what I said.

The question, "What do you mean?"

My father questioned me in a quiet, but extremely frigid, voice. My skin's hairs could be felt standing on end.

I hid my face in shame and refrained from speaking or looking into my father's disappointed eyes. I kept quiet out of shame.

Father instructed my younger sister and the family doctor to visit the doctor first after observing that I remained silent. Lucia wanted to insist on staying, but she was forced to leave obediently since she felt so threatened by Father's current demeanour.

On the other hand, the instant Father gave the order, the family doctor had already left. He was "scared witless," which is the only way to describe his dreadful situation.

There were now just my mother, my father, and me in this room. Father came at me with a rush of immense pressure, making it difficult for me to even breathe.

This report is inaccurate, Bianca. You haven't found a partner yet. You must not be expecting, right?

In an effort to get the response he desired, my father nearly seemed to be begging with me. I gazed up into his eyes, but I couldn't stand to look him in the eyes because I could see that he was in misery from the moment I looked up into them. I felt like a total bum.

My father realised something when I continued to stay silent, but he didn't want to accept it. He shook my body as if that were the last thing he could take. "Impossible. Impossible! My daughter would not subject me to such humiliation. "Bianca, you're not a scoundrel!"

This was the first time I had ever witnessed my father lose control since I was a young child. I started crying right away. I made an attempt to talk, but I was speechless. To find my voice, I poured all of my physical might into it.

"Dad, I'm sorry... I was wasted that evening. Nothing comes to mind. I'm not sure how it got to be this way.

He felt as though everything had been taken away from him when he heard what I had to say. He yelled at me in rage, his voice as loud as muffled thunder, while his eyes grew desperate.

I observed that his fists were clenched tightly, appearing to have the power to smash anything. I was aware that he was fighting the need to change. He couldn't stand to injure me, no matter how furious he was.

I fully realised what kind of awful crime I had committed and why my father was so furious.

One of the more well-known packs in the region was the Bright Moon Pack. Our pack distinguished itself from the other several werewolf packs in this werewolf city known as

"Ewavite," rising to become one of the top four packs.

Since he had always raised me in his manner, I was the most like him. Since I had never let him down, he had always been proud of me, bragging to the Alphas of the other packs about how talented his Alpha heir was.

However, this would reflect poorly on our pack, not to mention those who valued reputation and appearance the most, like Father. The faith my father had always placed in me had been destroyed because of me.

I wanted to ask Father for forgiveness, so I bowed low. Father didn't do anything but stand still and stare at me, but I could tell he was furious because of the way his legs were shaking.

My father's response stunned my mother. She had hurried over to assist me in getting up. But I remained seated, reluctant to stand up since I needed Father's forgiveness.

My mother tried to convince my father after realising she couldn't get me to move. She was unusually determined despite having trouble speaking effectively and having tear-filled eyes.

"Don't get furious, dear. We can simply terminate the pregnancy to prevent publicity.

What? In shock, I turned to gaze at my mother. In our town, getting an abortion was more terrible than getting pregnant by someone who wasn't your partner. It was wrong to do that, and the Moon Goddess would disapprove.

I turned to look at my father, who seemed to be supporting my mother's choice by not disputing what she had said.

I quickly reached for my father's pants leg. My face was already drenched with tears. As I yelled, I choked. Don't do this, Father and Mother, I beg you.

Mother dropped down next to me in agony when she saw how pitifully I was crying. She spoke in the kindest voice while using the worst phrases.

"Don't worry, baby. We'll tell people you couldn't change because you were too exhausted from training, as long as you terminate the child. We'll complete the succession ceremony once you're feeling better, and you'll then succeed as our Alpha.

"Mother, I don't want to. I'm not capable of doing it.

I shook my mom's hand away. Never in a million years would I do anything to betray the Moon Goddess. And how could I stand to use my own hands to murder my own child? I expressed my obstinacy and insistence on holding firm. My father became enraged when he observed my attitude, which was unrepentant.
