The Heartless Alpha and His Banished Luna

Damian

As Clover emerged from the apartment complex where she lived, I kept a tight eye on her. It didn't take a genius to figure out that she was about to run away again, and lucky for me, I arrived at the location just in time to stop her.

Even if I did not pick up her scent or see her enter the apartment, someone had seen her nonetheless since I had to charter a private plane and utilize my alpha ticket to have a few people everywhere around town.

When we first lay eyes on Murphy, she was anything from calm, and despite the fact that I was perfectly composed when she spoke, I was hanging on every word that she said.

It was as plain as the noonday sun that she did not welcome my presence.

Why would she do such a thing? I fully and utterly acted like a jackass.

While I was pondering what action she might do next, the Murphy pointed out something interesting. It's possible that I checked her privates along the way as well.

I was aware that she was attempting to devise means by which she may flee, but I refused to let her. Her only option was to return to the pack and wait until I obtained what I required from them before attempting to escape.

"Talk," she prompted as soon as we arrived at the park that was directly across the street from where we were standing.

"Nice area," I halted just because I was in the mood to confound her because she still had her back turned toward me, which actually irritated me for some reason. "Nice neighborhood," I stalled just because I was in the mood to baffle her.

She aggressively ordered, "State your business, Damian," and I couldn't help but scoff at her audacity because of how bold she was being.

I informed her, "This isn't a negotiation, Clover," and that was the only time she addressed me with a rebellious look on her face during our entire conversation.

Who claimed that I wanted to enter into negotiations? She gave a response in return.

"You have no say in everything, so you might as well give up now since there is nothing you can do about it."

She gave me a look of disapproval by nMurphying her eyes, and then a sinister sneer slowly formed on her face. The manner in which she was looking at me caused my jaw to drop.

If I had to be completely honest, I would say that it made her appear to be a goddess; yet, it was quite frustrating to look at.

Although Clover had a fiery temper and a strong will, she never tested my abilities to the same degree as she did recently. This just served to illustrate that she had been living independently ever since she had gone, and that she was gradually becoming into her own pack's alpha.

In spite of the fact that it wasn't a wholly negative thing, it was still a problem.

Because, for one thing, I was aware that she was not going to make this any simpler for any of us, and, for another, I suspected that I would have to sedate her with wolfsbane in order to keep us all from getting into physical altercations, I may have to do this.

In any case, she was going to travel with us, full stop.

"Why do you give up? Oh, I've given up alright. In any case, if you were the one who suggested that I should go in the first place, why would you even consider wanting me to return?"

She ridiculed him as she put her hand on her hip and remarked, "Oh, yes, you didn't actually banish me."

The devil takes the form of a she-wolf.

I was thinking. When she spoke to me in such a manner, she most certainly had a desire to end her life. I had the ability to bully her into surrender. Even though we were both aware of this fact, she still had the audacity to address me as though we were on equal footing.

We went through some rough patches, but ultimately we remained friends. I rose to the position of alpha, and she fell to the position of omega, which placed her at the very bottom of my food chain.

The fact that Murphy was against the plan was the only reason I hadn't actually done anything to hurt her physically. He desired that she remain uninjured.

It was already a problem that my inner wolf refused to participate in the mating ritual, but now he was acting all weak and submissive toward her.

"Which is why you still belong to my pack, and as your alpha, you have no option but to follow my instruction," I hissed, injecting my voice with the authoritative tone that I frequently use to keep everyone in line. "Which is why you have no choice but to follow my command," I added.

She jerked her head back for a second, but that was it for her reaction. She never broke her cool, and as a result, I found myself losing my tolerance with her more frequently.

"What If I Don't Do It?" She defied expectations by raising her voice and stood even taller than before.

I can't believe this woman had the audacity to put such a challenge to me.

I inhaled deeply of her filthy odor as I moved closer to her till our heaving chests were almost brushing against each other.

She had a new perfume, but I could still detect her old one, and even though it was driving me nearly crazy, I didn't pull away from her because I didn't want to risk losing my sanity. I did not move from where I was standing and instead turned my attention to her.

I scoffed at the individual and said, "I'll take you out myself and drown you with wolfsbane till you're on the borders of death."

She stepped backwards away from me while laughing heartily as if my warning didn't have any basis in reality. Either she might believe that I was joking or she could believe that she didn't believe I could.

In the midst of her giggles, she questioned Damian on the seriousness of her presence by asking, "Why are you really here?"

I waited for her to truly stop laughing, and then I gazed at her for a while until she realized that I was being completely serious.

As my anger deteriorated more and more, I became more and more inclined to knock her out as quickly as possible.

I started off by saying, "If it were up to me, I would have left you alone in your pretend world until the day you cease to exist," which is what I would have done if I had the choice.

"However, you possess something that I require, and as a result, let's just say that you have a significant part to play in the development of my pack in the years to come."

As soon as I finished speaking, her act of bravado vanished completely, and I found myself unable to help but wonder why.

My eyes were glued to her, and I followed her pulse as carefully as I could, taking note of each tick and hop. She gave off the impression of being anxious, but more crucially, she appeared concerned by the prospect.

Is it possible that she harbored secret aspirations of living a human life rather than being a member of a traditional pack?

"Believe me when I say that I do not own what you require, and that there is absolutely no reason for me to assist you with the pack. Ask your luna for help, not me, "When she did eventually speak, that was the last thing that sent him over the edge.

I was far more patient than I have ever been with the whole affair; nevertheless, the way she acted as though she had a choice and that she had the right to say no rubbed me the wrong way and made me feel very irritated.

"Do not argue that I did not give you sufficient evidence that I was going to do whatever it took to achieve my goal. You can either come to an agreement with me or you can get knocked out. Those are your only two choices "I let out a low hiss as I gripped her arm once again.

After that, I dragged her in the direction of the spot where I had parked the rental car. She struggled to get free from my grasp by jerking and pulling on herself, but her efforts were fruitless.

I was ready to force her into the car when all of a sudden, a man yelled after her from one of the windows of the apartment complex where she lived.

"Hey! Who the hell are you, and where the devil are you planning to take her?" When he started yelling at me, Murphy gave me a warning snarl.

The tone of his words irritated Murphy, and he didn't appreciate how possessive he seemed to be toward Clover.

"I'm going to have to call the fucking police!" One last cry was all that was heard before he vanished from the window.

Clover, much to my astonishment, hopped right into the car without waiting for me to tell her to.

Just by what she did, I had the distinct impression that she was familiar with the individual in question and that he was most likely on his way to this location.

I gave it some attention because I was curious about his role in Clover's life at the time. I was also completely certain that he was a human being. Because if he wasn't, there would be nothing preventing him from leaping out of the window, which would be the case if he wasn't.

You expressed interest in having me accompany you, so why don't we travel together? Clover yelled out anxiously from the passenger seat of the automobile.

It was clear that she didn't want the guy and I to really come into contact with one another, but the fact that she was now so adamant about leaving gave me the impression that the man held some level of significance for her.

"What? No goodbyes?" I poked fun at him as I sat on the bonnet of the car to pass the time as we waited for him to reach us at last. "If you two could hold on just a second..."

After Clover discovered what I was planning to do, she sprang out of the car and pushed me toward the driver's side of the vehicle as rapidly as she could.

"You act like a fool!" She yelled at him.

"Clover, you appear to be so resolved to prevent him from approaching me. Who is this man?" I inquired without making any motions toward getting into the vehicle.

"Because he is a human, he does not require any of this nonsense from us. Just leave him alone, for the love of God, if you want me to voluntarily accompany you somewhere." She let out an angry huff as she crossed to the opposite side of the room.

Before getting in the car, all I did when the man eventually showed up at the front door was give him a simple nod and a smirk before leaving.

He made an attempt to catch up to us, but by the time he even got close, we had already made our way out onto the public thoroughfares.

"There's more to this than you're giving on, Clover, and I plan to find out what it is that you're hiding," Clover said. "I intend to find out what it is that you're hiding."
