The Blood Moon Heiress

CHAPTER 1 Betrayal The worst feeling in the world is knowing you have been used and lied to by someone you trusted. Nothing hurt more than being betrayed and disappointed by the single person you thought would never hurt you. •••• The striking sound of thunder and lighting was enormous to the ear and visible in the sky, everywhere had turned murky. A hand suddenly gripped one of the trees in the wood, dark eyes twisted in grimace and pain. Lips with cuts of bruises. The person appeared to be a woman as she slowly hid behind a huge leaf to prevent whatever was chasing her to get a hold of her. Her hands slowly clasped her lips before fastening them tightly to prevent any kind of breathing that may attract what was chasing her to her hidden soot. The wood around her was blurred into green and grey lines. The earthy smell assaults her from every direction that the stalkers might be coming from. She does not know exactly where she is heading too but she knew that she had to live. She could hear the several feet behind her, she was scared to her bone marrow and one could notice how her hands across her lips won't stop throbbing hard. Her heart seemed to be thumping very hard as she felt the eyes of her stalkers burn her from behind. She was staring everywhere through the leaves when she got dragged out of her hiding place. "Let me go?" Mahalia screamed before pulling her knife out to slice the wolf who had dragged her out. "You got injured by this w***e!" The other dark wolf uttered with a peal of weird laughter as she took a few steps away from them. "That's what I like, fierce she-wolves are what attract me!" The grey wolf uttered, stepping towards Mahalia, he smacked her hard on the face and that had ignited a girly groan. He was about to grip her hands but another huge and silver wolf gripped his hands tightly causing him to yelp in pain. Noah curled his hands in a fist and aimed for the intruder nose. Luckily, his fist hit the bridge of the dark wolf's nose causing blood to splatter all over the ground of the murky woods. Noah sighed in anger when he got hit and he could taste his own blood. He angrily grabbed the grey wolf by the head before digging into his scalp and lifting him up as he dangled with the tip of his toes, Noah slams his hand into his ribs and that had provoked a painful wince. Mahalia watched as her stalker a while ago got slammed hard against the tree, splattering guts and blood. Noah slowly shifted back before slowly trudging towards the stranger who stood in awe. "Uhmm__ thank you for defending me!" Mahalia's soothing voice came as she lowered her gaze from this stranger who had saved her life. "It's no problem, are you from around this place?" Noah asked carefully because this new stranger he had met was his mate, he never expected the pull to be so strong that he had run through the woods to save her and he had no regret or whatsoever. Ever since that day he saved Mahalia he had shown her love while they stayed at his poor haggard house together. THREE MONTH LATER Several months had passed since Noah saved Mahalia but so many things kept running through her mind. She had questions she wanted to ask but she didn't want to interfere in his personal business. She was presently outside making them dinner when he slowly wrapped his arms around her waist before twirling her around. "Hey darling, what are you preparing?" He had asked with a bright smile but it all died down when he noticed the huge scowl on her face. "Hey, are you okay?" He asked, caressing her cheeks softly. "Noah, we have been in a relationship for a long while but then, I honestly feel like there is something about you that you aren't telling me. Every time that I ask you about your family, you avoid it even if you know everything about me. Are you hiding something from me?" She asked him carefully. "Am not, you know what. It's probably better if I get you some more firewood to burn out, I would just get some axe I would need for that before I get going!" Noah said trying to brush the topic. "I found this picture in one of your clothes, is this your parent Noah?" Mahalia asked glaring at the picture intently but it was quickly snatched away by him. "No, I just happened to have found it around!" Noah responded sharply. "If you happened to have found it as you claim, why do you seem so mad at me right now?" She asked him. "And what with the weird question?" Noah raised his voice for the first time and that had left her stunned. "Why can't you just answer me directly without being suspicious?" She raised a question. "What do you want to know? That I was disliked and disowned by my father? That I'm no longer accepted at their place? You know what Mahalia? Can you just stop asking me those questions because I honestly don't want to talk about it!" Noah firmly told her. "But why Noah, why don't you just tell me what happened?" Mahalia insisted. "Why don't you ever listen to me? I just told you that I don't want to talk about it!" He asserted with furrowed eyebrows. "But you said I was your mate and I know you are mine, I think that I deserve to know everything about you. Why do we bother to be together when we are not going to be open with each other Noah, well, I just want to help you!" Mahalia said and that had elicited a heated argument. "I do not need your help!" Noah yelled possessively. "If that's the case, we shouldn't be together. You should probably reject me because I'm not staying a night here!" She said before leaving. That little argument between them had made Noah stop by at his parent's house at the pack house but the guards weren't allowing him inside. "Luna orders you all to let him in!" The voice of the Gamma came making all the guards drop all their pistols. "Mother," Noah yelled happily before engulfing his old mother in a tight hug. "Noah, how have you been?" She asked, touching her son's face. "I'm sorry that I haven't been visiting you. I just want to know if you are doing alright?"He asked her but she seemed to be bothered about him. "Are you okay and where do you live now? Have you had dinner? You should eat first!" His mother said worriedly. "No, there would be no need mother, because father wouldn't be happy to see me here! I know that he is still pretty angry at me!" He responded. "My son, you stole money from the company and you ran away, you know that had broken your father's trust in you. Noah!" His mother asserted yet again. "But I was only proving a point mother, I just wanted to show father that I wasn’t a weakling and that I can take care of myself." Noah defended. "What is this? How did he get in here?" Noah's elder brother uttered. He is Donald, the one in line to take over his father as Alpha of the blood moon pack after his father passes away. "How dare you come back here and show your ungrateful face here again?" Donald uttered furiously before punching his brother hard on the face. "Donald, stop!" Their mother yelled but the fight had gotten intense. Donald pushed Noah to the floor before sending multiple blows to him. "Hey, listen. You no longer have a mother, father, or sibling. You have ended up embarrassing our whole family." Donald yelled. "Guards, take him away and never let that thief into this house again," Donald instructed as his orders were quickly carried out. "Noah, my son!" His mother yelled but he was thrown out of the gate of the pack house.
