ALPHA LUKA

Chapter 28

Octavia's pov

It's been an entire day of Alyja's death. We haven't been able to arrange anything for a burial due to alpha Luka not letting us anywhere near his mate. Since a day ago, that horrible night of when the goddess of ice passed.

None of us have seen her. Immediately, after Luka grabbed his mate, he left with her. Adamaris and I were too terrified to go after him for her body due to him still being in his lycan form.

As soon as Athena woke from her sleep Octavia casted on her. She burned the entire place down not being able to control her anger. We were forced to call the only person that can control her, alpha Lysias. Once he came, we informed him of everything and he took it from there taking the goddess of fire away. However, I know she's going to be back for her sister's body which has me cringing at the thought knowing she will try to avenge Alyja's death.

In her mind, Luka killed Alyja when it was the the curse of the lycan that truly did.

"We need to bury Alyja properly," Adamaris says frustratingly. I can tell she hasn't slept whatsoever. I know the death of Alyja is hurting her deeply than what she'll admit. After all, she saw those two she-wolves grow while I watched from afar. If anything, she sees them as her own.

"We failed Azra twice," I sigh completely disappointed by having to go through this again . We really tried to protect and guide Azra's descendants just like how she made us promise her we would, but as you know things really went dark.

"Both were out of our control. Now I know why I was never able to have children of my own. I'm such a sucky protector," Adamaris voice cracks as she suddenly grabs a glass cup slamming it against the wall completely shattering it.

"Don't say that Adamaris, those two she-wolves love you. I see the way they look at you," I say comforting her. "My little she-wolf is dead. We stood there and I did nothing. We fucking watched as she was killed," Adamaris sniffles completely breaking down, "She was so kind and pure. Always a believer in love and for what? I fed her all those mate stories just so she can be killed by her own mate?," she adds.

As much as I don't want to talk badly about Moon. I'm lost in thought not knowing what this whole reasoning could be. Why did Alyja have to have such a fate like this? Why show Luka his cure? Why destine them to meet? If this was the result for both?

"GET DOWN HERE MOON! WE NEED AN EXPLANATION!," Adamaris screeches as she lets it all out no longer wanting to hold back her tears and pain. Seeing the pain she's going through weakens my heart and I too am now a crying mess. Alyja didn't deserve this at all. That she-wolf was the purest soul I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. The way she adored her mate regardless of the obstacles thrown at her reminded me so much of myself.

"We must get her body for the burial one way or another," I breathe knowing this is what is right to do for the goddess of ice.
Even if Luka is against it.

Lysias pov

After getting the call about the tragedy regarding Alyja's death, I knew things were going to be bad. Athena has taken the death of her little sister badly. Her anger has been out of control and she doesn't want to talk to anyone not even me. The only soul she wants next to her is Legion.

My mate is already wanting to start a war against Luka's empire for the murder of her sister which I understand, but this isn't the way. I love vengeance don't get me wrong, but in this situation declaring a war isn't right. Luka wasn't the one who killed Alyja. If anything, his mother should be trialed for her sins and crime which I'm sure Josiah is very aware of by now. I can already sense his presence coming to Luka's snowy empire in search for her which no one knows where she's hiding.
