The Reincarnated Moon Goddess

Ch9- Female Alpha?

Kayne Pov

He was an alpha’s son. That was his only saving grace. Because if not for his quick reflexes, he would have had his throat slashed to the bone. Instead he was left with a flesh wound on his neck instead of a grave one. His blood just started welling out of the wound.

Ben removed his hand from his neck in shock as he stared at the blood that followed his hand. “What the f**k, Kayne?”

He didn’t hurt Yura. It wasn’t his fault. I had to repeat that statement up to five times in my mind before I could open my eyes and face Ben. I shouldn’t have done that.

“I am sorry, I shouldn’t have done that.”

“Yeah, you shouldn’t have. You almost took my head off,”

I didn’t mention that doing that was my goal then. It would have caused another set of problems if I revealed that truth then.

“My protective instincts were in control. I thought you wanted to attack her.” I responded.

Ben eyes dipped to Yura who still had her face buried in my chest.

“Her.” His lips curled in disgust. I could help but release a warning growl at his tone.

At the sound of my growl. He took a step back and continued. “Why would I want to attack her?”

“I never said that the instincts were logical.” I answered with a sigh. “Look Ben, I am tried and my wolf is on me to protect her or tend to her needs and as long as she is around them, she will not calm down. Can I go?” I added the last part to placate Ben and he nodded absently, granting his approval but his eyes were cold.

He realized what happened too. What I just did unknowingly, in front of his pack.

I had issued an informal challenge by going for his throat. It didn’t matter if I was unintentional about it, I had injured him, drew his blood without his permission in front of his pack. He would want retribution for my actions.

Great, just what I needed. A young pup who is going to be trying to ascertain dominance over me.

**********************************

Yura cries went silent and then she could give direction to her house. She didn’t break the skin contact between the two of us. Something which I was grateful for because I don’t think that I would be able to hold my wolf in my human skin if she pulled away from me now.

I tucked my arm around her waist while she leaned majority of her weight on me when she got to her front porch. I rang the doorbell and after the second time, I heard movements inside the house before the door was flung open and I saw Yura sister.

“Yura!” her voice was filled with worry as she started to move her sister’s hair and check her sister body for bruises.

My wolf grumbled under my skin but I ignored him. This was her sister. She was safe here.

“Hazel, I need to sit down.” Yura said, her voice was low, her words pushed me and Hazel into action as we moved her into the sitting room and on the long sofa. Then Hazel raced upstairs and then returned in seconds will blankets that had a woodsy smell.

I let out a little growl but Yura ignored me as she grabbed the blanket and dragged it under her nose while she took in deep breathes filled with the scent.

“It’s our father scent.” Hazel supplied, looking at me carefully while I blanked my face. It was okay to show my feeling to Yura because somehow my defenses were lower around her but that courtesy didn’t extend to her sister.

Which is strange since my wolf consider her as kin then it should also consider her sister as kin too.

“I don’t care whose scent it is?” I replied when it was clear that she was waiting for me to acknowledge her words.

“Of course.” She rolled her eyes at me. Clearly not believing my words. I didn’t blame her though. Nothing about my tone or were convincing in any regard. “But thank you for bringing her home, you can leave her in my care now.”

I didn’t bother with giving her a verbal response. I just kept my gaze on hers without blinking, hoping to intimidate her into submission and for her to forget that stupid suggestion she just brought up.

Seeing how Yura is weak, I expected that her sister would be just a little more powerful than her but Hazel just raised her eyebrow in silent derision at me. Our fight would happen silently so as not to disturb Yura who was slowly calming down to her father’s scent.

Then she even went a step further and kept her gaze on mine, showing me that she wouldn’t be intimidated or forced into silence.

And she kept her gaze on me for as long as possible. Almost as long at the Alpha and certainly more than Ben.

Which is not supposed to be so because the Alpha and his family are usually the most powerful within a pack. How come this family is just full of surprises? First the youngest and weakest family member caught the attention of a god.

One that she didn’t want and which the god cannot seem to ignore. I would have thought it funny if I was not the god in question.

The second daughter who was barely twenty years was more comfortable with accepting a challenge from a god and being able to hold her ground more than any normal wolves should be and even better than the next Alpha in training.

The father had the Alpha scared to court his attention.

Nothing about this was right. And I intend to get to the bottom of the issue before I return to the god’s realm.

I felt a small hand touch mine, the touch brought me out of my head. Just as my mine rebelled against the fact that I was touched by a mere mortal, another part of me relaxed at the touch.

I looked down to see Yura’s hand on mine.

When Yura saw that she had my attention, she wetted her lips. “Thank you for bringing me home. You saved me from pain then but then again, I would prefer it if you stay far away from me.”

“Yura!” Hazel reproached, from the way her eyes widened, I knew that she was not expecting this from her sister too.

It seems that I was right. Yura is just the one who acts different from normal in situations, not like the world had changed enough that the opposites of gratitude is now expected.

“This is his fault.” Yura push on despite her sister reproach. “Those girls have no reason to come after me today. They never did before. They only did that because he approached me in school.”

“So you want to drive away the only person who wants to be your friend and who can save you from scenarios like that?” Hazel demanded, she leaned over Yura on the chair with her hands on her waist. Nothing about her was aggressive towards her sister except her stance and still I bristled at it.

What is wrong with me and how did I employ myself as her guardian? And more importantly, how do I return the role back to whoever it belonged to?

“It sounds like my pack needs another warning.” Hazel gritted out. “Because I am not letting you let go of the only person who is trying to get close to you.”

Yura cheeks turn red. “Maybe it would be better if we were not having this conversation in front of said individual.”

“It depends on if you are willing to be sensible about it.” Hazel parried back and Yura opened her mouth, her eyebrows collapsing on a deep frown before she closed her mouth once more without saying anything.

When Yura didn’t say anything, Hazel smiled like she won an argument then she turned to face me without saying anything while folding her arms under her breast.

“I will be leaving now.”

“You do that.” Hazel replied. “And don’t feel bad, you would be back in this house soon enough and under better circumstances too, I think that you would prefer that.”

And that was the truth, I would prefer that but it wasn’t her words that made me nod.

It was the air she put off, one of repellence. It didn’t work on me but it would have worked for a normal wolf so I forced myself to get my legs moving as I turned away from Hazel and left the house.

It was after I shut the door behind me that I started going through my knowledge about the Wolves which I am their god.

I had never seen something like this before but that didn’t mean it do not exist. After all, the moon goddess ensured that she made allowance for any changes which would occur to her wolves.

It was later that night as I was about to sleep that it entered my head that I should stop trying to see Hazel in the light of a powerful female. Something that brought Luna, the mate to an alpha to my mind always but rather I should see her as a female, powerful in a man’s way.

And that was when I saw what I was search for. Hazel was not a Luna. No, she was an alpha in her own right.

She was a female Alpha.
