Alpha Xander: His Contracted Luna

The sounds of bones breaking filled the air as a man with torn and bloody clothes got up from the floor with a groan.

“What the fuck was that car?!” he cursed in annoyance as his eyes fluttered open.

He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He fell to the ground as he gasped for air. Is the link to my mate being severed?

Tears fell from his eyes as he gasped for air and struggled to breath. The pain was making it unable for him to breath or do anything. He fell to the ground, held his neck and began rolling around, trying to deal with the pain.

What is going on?

Why is the link being severed?

I wasn’t rejected, nor did I reject my mate, so why am I feeling this pain?

Different thoughts wandered his head as he tried to hold on to his consciousness. His face was now blue and it became even more difficult for him to breathe.

The pain suddenly left as quickly as it came, making him release a sigh of relief.

“I thought I was going to die,” he chuckled in relief, before turning his head in the right direction.

The sight before him shocked him terribly and he felt his heart sink as he stood on his feet. He made his way to a wolf that was laying in a pool of its own blood – his mate.

He finally understood why the link had been severed, it was because she was dead. He wasn’t really bothered about her death. It personally didn’t affect him, but he knew how it would affect his position.

“Could this be the hand work of those elders?” he asked himself as he stared at the lifeless body of his mate. He shook his head, dispelling the idea, “No, they wouldn’t. They only wanted to dethrone me because I was mateless, but now…” he glanced at the dead body of his mate.

He felt anger rise within him. Not anger at the death of his mate but anger at the one who had ruined all his efforts to retain the throne of his family.

After discovering the council of were-elders were planning to dethrone him because he was mateless, he had spent quarter of his family’s fortune to hold a party and had invited all the were-packs so he could find his mate and when three different packs didn’t bring their Omegas, he took it upon himself to visit each pack to meet the Omegas.

He had finally found his mate. Thankfully, she was weak and submissive but someone had killed her just like that.

He glanced at the car with anger and made his way towards it. Where was the driver? Could they have fled?

He was just about to turn away when he saw someone laying on the floor. A woman?

He could hear her heart beating due to his heightened senses and made his way towards her. She had killed his mate and so she didn’t deserve to live.

He squatted by her side, “You’ve got to be kidding me,” he scoffed in annoyance when the strong smell of alcohol hit his nostrils, “She was drunk driving?” he felt a wave of anger hit him, his eyes reddening as his finger nails sharpened and grew longer.

An idea suddenly lit up in his head making his anger mildly subside as his eyes returned to brown while his fingernails shortened and became dull.

“No one knows who my mate is and they can’t prove someone isn’t my mate either,” he voiced out his thoughts as he stared at the woman that was still passed out on the floor.

Getting up from his feet, he made his way towards his mate, “There’s no time to waste. I need to bury her quickly,” he picked up the lifeless wolf and made his way toward the nearest bush.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

He took his wolf form and began digging as quickly as he could, not wanting anything to further complicate the issue at hand.

FLASHBACK

“I want to see the human world,” she told him as he started a fire, “This is the closest I’ve ever been to it,” she added when she saw the look of disapproval on his face.

“I won’t let you go there, it’s too dangerous,” he refused as he got up from the ground.

She turned to him, a pleading look in her eyes, “Xander, please. I just want to see what the human world looks like. Because of my failing health, I’ve never been let out of my pack and the same will happen once I become your Pack’s Luna. I don’t know when I’ll die, but seeing the human world for once will make me die without regrets,” she pleaded.

He felt his heart go out to her but he didn’t have time for sightseeing so he refused, “I’m not here to tend to your requests. I’m only here to take you to my pack as my Luna. Now, sit here while I go get you water. We can’t travel this late at night, considering your condition,” he instructed her.

She nodded her head in defeat, her eyes brimming with tears. He immediately made his way toward the river bank, but when he got back, she was nowhere to be found.

“You’ve got to be kidding me!”

He dulled his other senses and heightened his sense of smell and when he picked up her scent, he used it to chase after her.

She was crossing the road in her wolf form when he finally saw her. He let out a sigh of relief because she was safe but then saw a car speeding towards her.

He let out a roar to warn her as he leapt towards her, trying to get her out of the way but it was too late, the car hit them both.

THE PRESENT

“I can’t believe this is happening,” he sighed tiredly as he concealed the grave properly, “If only she had listened to me and not wandered off.”

It was too late for regrets and so he made his way towards the human on the ground, picked her up and put her in the front seat before getting into the driver’s seat and starting the car. He took one last glance at the woman and drove into the bush.

Catherine groaned in pain as her eyes fluttered open, “Where am I?” She wondered as she sat up in bed.

A bed? Why am I in bed?

“You’re in my room,” a melodious, baritone voice boomed from her right.

She turned her head in the direction of the voice to see a pair of brown eyes peering into the depths of her soul and she let out an ear-piercing scream.

“Who are you?” she questioned as she moved back, creating a distance between them.

“I’m Xander and I won’t hurt you,” he assured her before continuing, “Now, you killed my mate so you have to be my contract Luna,” he concluded making Catherine burst into laughter which immediately switched to a scream as he took his wolf form.

“Mate?” Catherine scoffed incredulously at the young man in front of her. “I don’t understand what you are talking about. Stop this trick of yours.”

“Really? A trick?” He asked peering down at her, his gaze made her uneasy and she couldn’t shake the feeling that he was more than he seemed.

She did what anyone would do after being captured by someone you don’t know.

“Help!” Catherine yelled loudly, racing toward the door in fear. Her heart beating ferociously against her ribcage, threatening to burst.
