Her Broken Alpha

Chapter 12

Ambers pov

*eight years ago*

It's been eight long years since Josiah yet again ripped Nicholas and I apart. I dont know where his men took nick but I know hes alive, i can feel it through our mate bond. Josiah made it a point when we got back to his pack to mate me immediately. Even though I was already marked and mated, he didn't care. Soon after i became the packs luna. I loved our pack.

Most of the pack believed I was josiah's fated mate. Ranked members and the higher ranking warriors knew the truth though. Every day I fought to ensure Nick's safety snf Hunter's safety.

Hunter is now ten years old. He knows josiah isn't his biological but he treats him as though he is, to keep himself safe as well

I can tell that he is miserable. However in the future he is destined for true greatness and happiness. Josiah has been training him to be the future alpha. He trained him for six hours everyday. I could tell Hunter enjoyed it but was exhausted and didn't want it.

Today was a regular day in our pack. Except today Hunter was going to disappear. I reached out to another pack, they agreed to attack my pack and kidnap him. As a payment i have promised to let them use magic wipe his memories and make it seem as though I had been taken from their pack and i would not look for him. Everyday since I agreed to this I prayed that hed be happy and healthy. Hopefully one day he would be able to forgive me for this and understand that I am doing this to keep him safe.

As I look out the window of my room I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I saw Hunter training with the other warriors. This was one activity he loved doing. Deep down he didnt want to be the alpha of a pack, he wanted to be a warrior, to protect his family. However he was destined to be an alpha, a great alpha. Once he found his fated mate they would raise above all! This is why i have to do this to keep him safe. If josiah learned the truth about him he would kill him immediately. I watch as Hunter throws punch and kick combos at the warrior, knocking him to the ground. They are all laughing and training hard at the same time. This would be one of the final moments I would ever see my precious baby boy smile and laugh.

“My love, why are you crying? Are you hurt? In pain? Did something happen? I was so engrossed in my thoughts as I watched Hunter, I had not even noticed Josiah walk into the room. His voice for once was soft and caring, not a voice that anyone heard, it was a rare tone for him. I turn to face him, tears staining my cheeks.

“Yes dear I am fine, just sad at how fast Hunter is growing. He is becoming a fine young man!” The words are so bitter sweet in my mouth. But I rolled them off my tongue so naturally, I had almost convinced myself that he wasn't leaving.

“He will make one hell of a good alpha one day, if he continues to work hard on his training.” Josiah smiled as he joined me at the window, watching Hunter as well. He embraced me from behind, pulling me close and resting his chin on my shoulder. Normally this would repulse me, but due to the events I knew were about to unfold, I welcomed his embrace and cuddled close. This moment felt so comforting.

Hours later I woke up to the sound of alarms going off. Those alarms meant only one thing, we were under attack. This was it, the final moments that my son would be here with me in the pack. I needed to go help the pack fight off the intruders. I darted out of bed to my shoe rack in the corner of my room, pausing halfway there. When did I fall asleep and how did I get into bed? Had Josiah put me there? I wondered for a few seconds then shrugged it off and proceeded to rush downstairs to help. As I ran through the house I helped several servants and pack members get to the safe room that was in the pack house. Once i got to the door and stepped outside, I looked around for a moment. The warriors were fighting great, I sniffed the air, these wolves were not from the Golden moon pack, these were rogues! This was a real attack!

“Layla please tell me you can hear me? We have to fight, we have to help.” I whispered urgently, and as if on cue, we shifted.

I look around once more to see where I can help, Layla notices a warrior who has three rogues on him and she sprints towards him. She jumps on the rogue that has a hold of our warrior, knocking him to the ground freeing our warrior, Henry is his name. Henry jumps to his feet quickly, bowing his head to me and attacking the other rogues that were next to us. The fight continued for a few more minutes before I was startled with a mind link.

“AMBER WHAT THE H**L ARE YOU DOING? YOU SHOULD BE DOWN IN THE SAFE ROOM WITH THE OTHER WOMEN!” Josiah boomed angrily at me.

“I refuse to sit in a safe house while my pack gets attacked, I will stand and fight by our warriors!” I mind linked back, my tone serious and firm. Layla looks up and locks eyes with him, just in time to see him glare at us before turning and continuing his fight.

“Layla, we need to find Hunter to keep him safe” I say to her panicked.

She quickly finishes off the rogue she had jumped on mere minutes ago and begins to sniff the air. Nothing. Hunter's scent was nowhere to be found. Panic sets into her as well as myself. Where is he? After killing a few more rogues she stands tall and looks around, sniffing again. Suddenly she is knocked to the ground and pinned by four wolves. She fights and struggles against them. It hits our nostrils at this moment, HUNTER's scent. She looks up and meets the golden eyes of Alpha Cane. So this was his attack after all. He was in human form carrying a passed out Hunter in his arms. Layla let out a pained howl that shook the ground beneath us slightly. We both knew this was planned but the pain we felt was unbearable.

“I love you my precious son, please be happy in your new life” I whispered to myself. I could feel the tears that layla was shedding for our son. With every step Cane took our body ached more for the loss of our son. The wolves pinning us down finally got off of us, but not before each biting or scratching us. We were now emotionally and physically hurt. I could tell this was too much for Layla to take. She wanted to follow, to receive our son. But we both knew we couldn't and now with our injuries we would never be able to keep up.

“Shift back Layla, give me control and go rest and heal” I say to her in barely a whisper.

Within seconds of speaking I was again in my human form laying on the ground hurt. I could feel my blood oozing out, I lay there curled in a ball, wishing death could take me now. Knowing all too well that this was not my ending, I let the darkness consume me.

*Present day*

It has been eight years since Hunter was taken by the Golden moon pack. Josiah still had no idea I set it up for him to be taken. He has searched almost daily for Hunter. If he wasn't doing pack business he was searching. He wanted to bring him back so I would be happy again. He could tell that I wasn't the same. There wasn't a day that went by that I didn't wonder how he was doing and if he was happy. However even with him gone I still had luna duties to get done.

About a year ago I met Anna, she was seventeen at the time and was trying to find a way to make money so she could get out of the orphanage that we have in the pack. She was working at a local coffee shop that I very frequently went to, though her coffee never tasted good I kept going back. One day I broke it to her that she shouldn't make coffee any more and offered her a job working as my assistant. It wasn't a normal job that was given but in her case i thought she could use the extra help. She gladly accepted. We worked very closely together as I felt we had some sort of bond.

Its been six months since Anna had decided to help me find Hunter and bring him back home, his eighteenth birthday was right around the corner which meant that no one could stop him from leaving the pack he was in. Anna had offered to go to the Golden moon pack and keep an eye on him for me. Along the way though she ran into Warren, a demon who was hell bent on taking over not just the underworld but the heavens as well. And he knows as well as I do that Hunter is his key to that. Hunter was a product of a drunken night with Warren, so he's half demon. However I prayed to the moon goddess to bless me with Nick's baby, she sent an angel down to also bless Hunter to resemble Nick so there'd be no questions. Nick questioned a lot though, but in time he had accepted Hunter before we were separated that is

Hunter, being half demon and blessed by an angel was a very rare and special werewolf who in time could rule the entire demon race, along with being in command in the heavens. Theres also one thing that not even warren knows. Hunter comes from royal werewolf blood as well. He is a going to be very powerful. Anna has written of Warrens plan to get to him by sending her to school. I pray she brings him to me first he needs to know who he is truly. And I had alot of explaining to do.

Normally Anna writes me weekly but I haven't heard from her at all this week. That worried me a bit, but I know that she can handle her own. She is very strong she wolf. And if my suspicions are correct her mother is an angel. A very high ranking angel at that. If this is true than she would most likely be Hunters first mate and she would help him keep the peace between the angelic realm and earth, but his demon half will also want a mate. If Anna was his mate, would she be enough to satisfy his demon half as well? This needed more research than i had time. I needed help.
