THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

DAMIEN’S POV

Ever since I set my eyes on Reign, I have not been able to keep her off my mind. I have tried to stop thinking about her in vain and I just might know why.

It’s because she looks exactly like my late mate, Sophia. Same jet black hair, skin tone, Hazel eyes, I mean everything. When I first saw her, I thought she was my replaced mate but my wolf, Caleb, didn’t give me the signal that she’s my mate so I had to lower my expectations.

I have always thought that reincarnation was a myth, but after seeing Reign, I am left with no other choice but to believe that reincarnation is for real. Maybe that’s why I have a soft spot for her. I have never really been so hospital to a rogue let alone gone to see him or her in the hospital, but I just did that with Reign.

She has this very special effect on me and I just can’t help but wish that she was my replaced mate. I lost my mate about one year ago, she died of poisoning and the elders told me that hopefully, the Moon Goddess is going to give me another mate and the wait has been long. I thought Reign was that mate but it seems like the Moon Goddess has other plans for me.

There’s a gentle knock on the door and when I signal whoever it is to come in, my Beta, Daren, walks in with a bewildered expression plastered on his face. If he has seen Reign, then I know exactly why he has on that look.

“That girl looks exactly like our late Luna!”

“I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed. I have not been able to think clearly since the moment I set my eyes on her”

“So, is she your replaced mate?” He asks anxious and I sadly shake my head.

“Sadly, no. She’s not”

“But man, she looks exactly like Sophia. Have you tried asking her where she comes from? Who knows? She might be related to her.”

“She refused to tell me anything about herself, well except her name which is Reign. She said she didn’t want to talk about her past experience.”

“And you let her be? You’re the Alpha for goodness sake, when you ask questions, it’s obligatory for her to provide answers”

“I know right? But let’s give her some time to settle. You saw the wounds on her body, didn’t you? She must have had a traumatic experience and she’s not ready to talk it out just yet. Let’s be patient with her and in due time, we’re going to know everything we want to know about her”

I explain and he nods in agreement.

“Yeah, you’ve got a point there. So, that means you intend to let her stay for a while?”

“Daren, looking at the how badly injured she is, whoever did this to her wants her dead. She doesn’t look like a Shewolf beyond eighteen, what could she have possibly done to deserve all that torture?”

“Well, only her has the answers to our questions”

“If she was treated this badly in her pack, that means, they don’t want her anymore. If she was battered for trespassing into another Alpha’s territory, that means she’s not safe out there and I won’t let her go out there and risk her life. So, yeah, I have asked her to stay and to be honest with you, she can live here for as long as she wants”

“Wow, you really have a soft spot for her. So where will she be staying?”

“At the palace, I employed her as a maid at the palace so she could earn a living while staying here. She starts tomorrow morning”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“That’s really cool”

“You know, if it were up to me, I would have taken Reign as my replaced mate”

“No you wouldn’t!”

“Yes I would, but I can’t do that because of the Moon Goddess instructions. She asked me to wait for my new mate and I’m going to do just that. The last thing I want to do is disobey her and face her wrath”

“Yeah, you shouldn’t.”

“Do you think Reign has a mate?” I suddenly ask out of nowhere.

“I don’t think she has found her mate yet, I don’t think any werewolf would let his mate go through such torture. Like you said, she’s barely eighteen and I’m sure she’s still find her mate”

“Well, I hope she finds him so he could protect her. No Shewolf deserves to suffer like she has”

“You’re right.”

“Enough about Reign, I need you to send more soldiers to guard the children’s training grounds. Those good for nothing rogues who invaded the Shewolf training grounds this morning should not have access to those kids. Is that understood?”

“Yes, Alpha” He replies with a slight bow.

“You may leave” I order and he nods as he walks out of my office.

The hardest part about being an Alpha is having to deal with rogues. They are stray wolves with no pack that aim at causing ruckus in other packs.

Sometimes, they even kill pack members and that’s why anytime I come in contact with a ballistic wolf, I don’t hesitate to finish him or her off.

I walk over to my mate’s grave with a very heavy heart and almost watery eyes. Her death broke me completely and it took me quite a while to warm up to others again. She was only nineteen when she died and that was so unfair to her, to me and to our pups that she didn’t have the chance to bring forth. It was also unfair to my entire pack as their Luna was taken away from them so abruptly.

No one can ever replace my mate, but I trust the Moon Goddess to send me a mate that will be strong and brave enough to rule this pack with me. I pray she does that soon enough because right now, I badly need a Luna to assist me. Most at times, I don’t even know how to go about dealing with women issues, but I know that if my Luna is here, she would know exactly what to do.

Please Sweet Moon Goddess, hear my cry and make available a Luna for me with immediate effect, before I lose my sanity.
