The Rejected Wolf Turn Mighty Luna

Millicent's POV

You are being too cautious and suspicious, I thought to myself. What other interest could Alpha Blake possibly have in you or your story, other than as a pointer on how he could be of help to you?

'I served Sylvester for about ten years his maid but he rejected and exiled me, once he found out that I was his fated mate!' I said looking at Blake as though it answered all the questions.

'Go ahead!' he prompted, rejection of mates was not new to him, obviously.

'I accepted his rejection and went on exile but you now know that he came for me, taking me back with him to his pack under the pretense that he had turned a new leaf and wanted me back in his life but he just wanted to use me to secure his position as one of the Alphas of The Moon Ville Pack.

'I was so hurt and angry that I decided I was going to make him pay but then Alpha Christopher came home and I knew he was my fated mate. I was fated to the both of them, apparently. There was no way to resolve it except one died for the other. But they are still looking for a lasting solution that will benefit all parties', I concluded, 'Does that answer your question of whose Luna I am?' I asked.

'Hmmm...', he said, seemingly deep in thought. 'I now understand and this gets more interesting yet'. Then to my surprise, he smiled and asked. 'So are you choosing them both? You are a very lucky young female to be mated to two of the most powerful men. Or do you prefer one? If so, which do you prefer?'

'I have been told that, almost at every turn but I do not consider myself lucky to be burdened with such. I think it's a curse. I cannot be with the one I love as a result!' I lamented.

'And who is this one that you love?' he asked.

'Christopher!' I answered. 'I will choose Christopher anytime. Our mate bond is too powerful!'

'Great choice!' he smiled broadly. 'You have a great taste in men!'

I felt flattered and smiled back at him.

'There's one more thing I'd like to know though', he said. 'Is Moon Ville your birth pack? Or did you come from another pack?' he asked.

I had always hidden this part of me from others, but the time had come to start opening up. I needed help and it would do no good to hide it anymore. Who knows, he might even know the pack and what had become of it.

'I am from the Crescent Pack. That was where Alpha Sylvester captured me after destroying the pack!' I said and I found that the smile that had been on Alpha Blake's face froze at my response.

'The Crescent Pack, you said?' he asked, sounding as though he was distracted.

'Yes!' I said, 'Do you know of it?'

'I know Harry O'Brien. He was a great friend', he said. 'A pity what happened to him', he sighed. 'I have been angry with Sylvester since that incident. Little wonder I do not attend his functions.He should have investigated the matter further before slaying the pack, but that's all in the past. You must have forgiven him!' he said, looking at me as though searching... for something.

'I have not forgotten', I said, feeling like I could trust him. He had treated me well in the past. And was going to help me now. The least I could do was to open up to him. 'And I will avenge my parents' death if I could!'

'But how can you still habour such bitter and resentful thoughts when you are mated to both brothers? Will your feelings not interfer with your supposed vengeance mission?' he scoffed.

'I do not allow my feelings to cloud my judgement!' I said vehemently. 'If I did, then, rather than take flight like I did, I'd be there enjoying every luxury they provide me with!'

'That's true but you also spoke of a strong mate bond you have with one of the twins', he said logically. 'Could it be that your bitterness against Sylvester is the reason you did not feel the bond with him? And if that is so, what if you start to feel the bond, will it not deter you?' he asked.

'Why are you asking me all these, sir?' I asked.

'Well, maybe because I would like to help you with your quest if I were sure your resolve is strong enough. That you won't change your mind at the last minute. Women are fickle human beings!'

'You will help?' I asked happily, hope coming alive.

'I promise you, I will help you with it, for the sake of your father who was a great friend of mine and a great warrior. When I heard of his demise and the brutal way, he was killed, I thought, 'What a waste!''

'Indeed!' I said excited. 'How do you propose to help me?' I asked excitedly. Finally, my parents were going to be avenged!

'Not so fast!' Alpha Blake said. 'I have to have your word to keep this discussion between us and that you will not melt like jelly when the time came to act?'

'I promise! ' I said eagerly.

'See how earnestly, you make the promise?' he asked. And I nodded. 'Do not go back on it, else I shall not forgive you!'

'You can count on me!' I said solemnly. 'But I have a question'.

'Ask away!' he smiled.

'What about my pack, what has become of it? You must know where it is located', I said. 'It's been so long, I do not think I can recall where it is'.

'Many Alphas have wanted to settle there or make what remained of the pack theirs but have not been able to. So the area is virtually like an empty piece of land but not to worry, first things first. After we get your parents avenged, then we will do something about that!'

'You are too kind', Alpha Blake. I shall forever be grateful to you!' I said.

'That's okay', he said, looking at me thoughtfully. 'It will not be wise for you to come back to my pack with me. Sylvester might look for you there. Stay here for awhile. I shall send for you when the coast is clear!' he said, patting my shoulders. 'I shall speak to my friend to ensure you are comfortable here!'
