His Rejected Luna

X

He who shall not be named

He knew one thing only,and it was
beyond fear or reason: He was not going to die crouching here like a child playing hide-and-seek; he was not going to die kneeling at his feet . . . he was going to die upright like his father, and he was going to die trying to defend himself, even if no defense was possible. . . .

Someone's POV:

For years, the she wolves were subjugated by the males. Even if they worshipped the Moon Goddess, for them she wolves were just considered as a pup bearer and staying secluded inside the pack houses. Nero pack was no different. Their Alpha was well known to have kept the she wolves on check. Unmated wolves by no means were to mix with each other. The work of the Luna was to ensure that the women followed all the rules. The males were allowed to torture their she wolves and no one had any say on that. 

The Moon Goddess was tired of seeing this. Hell broke loose when a male wolf killed his mate as she turned out to be the elemental, in turn more powerful than he was. The Moon Goddess appeared before the pack, and mauled his eyes out. In order to keep them in check an Oracle was selected by her, who would control the behaviour of all the Alphas. 

But an age old habit to end takes years, rather generations. A place where she wolves were treated as nothing but property, it took years to allow them to become independent. Yet the problem couldn't just be solved as the mentality never died.

Valerie's pov:

I had been spending more time with Orion. He and I literally gobbled up so many books on Dragons, and some other supernatural creatures that we never thought existed. Xander and I usually take a walk after lunch. We talk a lot, and I indeed find him a much level headed Alpha. He discussed his future plans about the pack. Josh was getting much better and took part in daily training. 

I was reading the book on how to cure a werewolf from a vampire bite. 

"Your days of doom is near" a voice made me drop the book and sit right up. The all glorious Stella was standing there. "Oh, hello to you too" I said.

"You know why I was chosen as the Luna? It was because I could be a perfect person to manage the pack house. Show she wolves their place in the society"-

"Which is attending good college and learning self defense. Right?" I asked her. 

Instead of storming or getting angry she smiled and replied, "That's where you're wrong and he will never like it. Only a Male wolf is allowed to achieve its glory and no woman should challenge him."

"What- wait are you even from this century?" I asked completely baffled "and who is this He who shall not be named?" 

"Oh I see Xander didn't tell you about him. Never mind. So.." she took a seat near me , "Xander is the Son of the most territorial and rule bound Alpha if you have ever heard about the Nero pack. His father is feared by all, both the pack members and other pack Alphas. Luna Marie was a perfect model for him to explain all the other she wolves to follow her path. Another reason why the thoughtful parents send their cubs away and don't ask them to come back. Well anyway so a year ago he and his beta decided it was time to take a tour to the council and present them with his ideologies of ruling the werewolves. Before you ask, no it is not the old council which we have read about in books. It is a council of extremist werewolves who rule the pack according to the old laws, long before the Oracle came to existence. Xander is nothing like his father. But in the presence of his father he turns out to be a ruthless beast."

"So now that his father is coming back, rules will change? so will Xander?" I asked. She nodded and walked away leaving me alone with a thousand more questions in my head.

********~~~~~~~~~~~~**********

Ever had a bad time approaching that even the weather turns eerily cold too. A gloomy weather and all gloomy faces to receive their long gone Alpha. To add more to the dramatic flavour I wore all black today. Way to make a first impression. "Is it someone's funeral?" Josh whispered. "Yeah, the Xander I knew so long is going to die and be reborn as a torturous bad Alpha." I said it loud enough for Xander to hear. He flinched. When I confronted him about the gossip Stacy shared with me he decided it was better to run away without any proper explanation. 

"Ohh I see, I think we all should change and come for that matter." Josh was met by a cold glare from Philip and he did shut up. A car stopped in front of us. As dramatic it sounds, a man in his late fifties got down first. He held the door open for the old Alpha to come out. I was expecting an old man, maybe an older version of Xander. But he was nothing like Xander. Everyone gasped at the fresh scar that ran across his face. It added to his scary demeanor. Xander nodded at him. What? No hug? No hello Dad?

As if he could hear my words his silver eyes pierced mine and I felt a chill run down my spine. "And who do we have here with us?" he asked eyebrow raised. 

"Xander's Mate Sir. Valerie Sanders, daughter of Oracle Archibald." Xander froze in his spot. Maybe it was Marie who gasped. The next moment I felt the strongest force gripping me by my throat. I had answered the old Alpha back. No one does that. I was warned. But I didn't give him the satisfaction to see me hurt. I looked back at his eyes urging him to continue. Suddenly he was peeled away from me. I gasped for breath. Looking up where I had expected Xander to save me, I saw Orien with a steely look. "Don't dare to touch her like that again or you will face my wrath." Those words were enough to let a new drama unfold. Xander growled. I was ushered inside by someone. My mind was fogged. The change in Xander had begun and it was evident. But why did Orien save me?
