The Luna Game

Chapter 7

Alpha Supreme’s POV

I still have not been able to explain why I was so drawn to her in the first place. I am never one to like an unruly woman and she is definitely of that variety of people.

I would have ignored her thoroughly throughout the whole process and blamed it on my inquisitive mind and yearning to find the end of things, and it would have worked.

I don't need to see any of them anyway, and by the end of the game she might not even win, so what was the point?

But I know, I wanted to see her again without calling attention to myself. I wanted to see her more clearly, I wanted to see the kind of person she was and why she affected me so much!

A knock sounded on my door and before I could say anything about permitting the soul in, my younger brother let himself into the door.

“Damn! Brother! She really did you crazy! I like her already” He said, pointing to my ripped shirt on my bed. And he was laughing too, having the time of his life, so I just ignored him as much as I could.

“Alejandro, Forgive me, I have never seen anyone challenge you like that, a mujer joven (a young lady) for that matter” He apologized, but he was not sorry in the least. I like how he never stops to talk to me in short Spanish. That's our roots and we are not supposed to forget.

“Won't you go out to meet her? She is in the great hall with Alexis. I am sure she is practically praying to enter the ground now. Alexis is too scary, you know?” His words were true, I passed by them when I walked in after leaving her to answer to my Beta and I could see my beta growling at her and the girl trembling. But the girl’s problems don't concern me anymore. She passed her boundaries so she should be punished.

“Have you seen Dallas, Damien?” I asked my brother, dismissing his curiosity. Dallas is our older stepbrother, he is always up to no good.

Even after four years, he still thinks he should be the alpha supreme instead of me. He thinks he has been cheated since he was born first to our father, but he was not born legally. He was born outside of wedlock even while my father was mated with my mother.

Even though then, my mother had accepted him into the family without complaint, he feels he is entitled to everything that I am given and everything that I own.

He has caused more damage than good since my mother died so I have to constantly watch my back before he catches me unaware.

“No, I don't know. I have not seen him” Damien sat up, finally getting serious.

It's always a tense atmosphere whenever Dallas is brought up and it's not going to stop anytime soon. As long as Dallas still has hate deeply seated in his heart.

“Now that you mentioned him, I heard that there was an emergency meeting with the pack’s council members. Is that where you are preparing to go?” He asked me, but that was the first time hearing that.

How am I the last person to know that my council is having a meeting? And without their alpha?

“Where did you hear this?” I asked, hurrying up with my clothes. What kind of meeting would they be having without me? I asked myself again.

It's probably about how to get you off your position, and it won't take long now if you don't stop being considerate with your half-brother My wolf interceded, we have always gone back and forth about how I am with my half-brother. But I ignored it, his poking and bringing out my weakness is what I don't want to give any interest in at the moment.

I don't want to call it a weakness, I am just following up on the promise I made to my mother! Telling me to hold the family together and that Dallas is not the enemy. After everything that was done to her and even losing her life and so young an age, she still had to worry about her husband’s bastard son.

“On my way here, I think it was one of Dallas’s guards I heard it from” He replied cutting into my thoughts as he was making his way to fully stand up now.

“Good! That means I can still catch up with them” I said, throwing my ripped clothes into the bin when the thought of the young lady slipped into my mind again. I wonder how she is doing against Alexis.

I quickly erased the thought away from my mind, I should not concern myself with any of that at the moment, whatever she goes through, she deserves it.

“But you have to go now that you have found out. It might be a short meeting, what good would it do if you got there after they have ended the meeting?” He said, in his own concerned manner.

And then he added. . . “I can come along right?” I didn't answer him so he went into defending his request and why he asked: “You told me to be with you at times like this so that I can learn, I just know that I am going to learn a lot. . .”

But I cut him off “You can come with me Damien, you don't have to narrate to me what I told you. Come, you are dressed for it already” I replied and walked out of the room without waiting for him to realize how easy that had been.

I walked passed my beta and the Melissa girl again on my way down. I wanted to go to them and ask why she was still there in the room, and if she was still being punished but that would be stupid of me. That would only make me act unusual, I am sure Alexis will take care of it.

Our eyes met, and I silently dared her to take her eyes off me, she was not scared, and that even pissed me off more. How can she look in the face with so much vigor? How dare she look me in the eyes with no fear in her eyes. Why does she have no fear?

In the end, it was I who broke the short staring competition. My Beta came up to me to show her greetings or say something, but I stopped her before she got to me. If she gets to me, it would just be opening doors for me to ask questions about what was going on and why she was still there, and it would only take plenty of my time.

I left the room determined to make Melissa Bennet pay for defiling me and making things extremely difficult for me since I met her. . .

But until then, I need to see what my step brother is saying behind me to my council members. Let me see who is willing to betray me.
