Betrayed Luna's Second Chance Alphas
Betrayed Luna’s Second Chance Alphas – Chapter 40

-Riley-

”Oh, you will, Riley, you will. You will do everything I say,” he said with a smile that was just too nasty on his face. His eyes flashed with the hint of his wolf. I covered the gun with my palm as I looked at Hiran as he walked towards me.

“Stop right there,” I growled out and his laughter was mocking.

“Yeah, like I am going to do anything you say, Riley. How dumb are you?” he asked as he took another step towards me. I pulled the gun out and pointed it at him. It felt strange in my palm, but I knew I would shoot if I had to. “Oh, that looks like a nice glock. Where did you buy it, Luna? You are more resourceful than I thought. You know, it is turning me on.”

I glared at him. “I am not playing with you. I will shoot. I promise I will, if you try anything with me.”

“You can shoot, but-” he paused as he looked around. “You know… you must have seen the whole pack is quiet right now.”

I looked at him with a confused frown.

“You know why? I poisoned them.” His tone was devoid of empathy or remorse, resonating with a twisted pleasure derived from inflicting pain and suffering upon others. “The entire pack, including my darling brother.” As he spoke those chilling words, my body froze.

“No. You didn’t- why-“

“Yes. I did.” His voice carried an unsettling mix of triumph and sadism. It was as though he reveled in the knowledge that he held absolute power over the lives of not just one person, but an entire pack of powerful creatures, including his own flesh and b***d. It was proof enough of the depths to which he was willing to sink, even in relation to someone he should hold dear.

“If you shoot me now, they will never wake up. Only I have the antidote. You want that to happen to your precious Reid? Or Miller? Or the others?” he asked with a snide grin.

The cruelty in his voice was palpable, dripping with a malevolence that sent shivers down my spine.

“But it is only fair they die if I die. I am their Alpha, after all.” Each word he uttered seemed carefully calculated to maximize the anguish and despair he could evoke in me. Reid. I couldn’t let anything happen to Reid. “You won’t let anything happen to them, now do you? Be a good b***h and come and k**s me.”

“When did you- how did you become like this?”

“I have always been like this, Riley, but you loved me, and I showed you how I could love you back. I was good to you, was I not, until you decided you would grow a spine. You should have stayed how you were before.”

“You pretended. It wasn’t real. It was never real for you, and I wasn’t weak, I loved you.”

He took in a long breath as he looked at me, his eyes gleaming.

“Even if it wasn’t, I was kind to you, wasn’t I? I created the illusion of a perfect partnership. You don’t know how much I had to do for that, Riley, and I did it all for you, to keep you right next to me, because that is where you belong.”

“They were only lies. You still chose to hurt me. I gave you everything and you hurt me.”

“That you did. You did give me everything.” There was a strange satisfaction in his voice. “You were perfect. You were the Luna I was looking for. I knew it the moment I saw you in Jebo’s Pizzeria.”

“We didn’t- we didn’t meet in Jebo’s.” My fingers holding the gun trembled, so was my voice. I didn’t know what he was talking about, and if he did meet me at Jebo’s, why did he not approach me there?

“Well, I had to prepare for certain things, Riley. It was so sad to see all that potential going to waste. So I did what I had to do to get you.”

“What did you do? And what are you- why are you telling me that?”

“Because… the air you just inhaled was mixed with a hypnotic, psychedelic drug that is unlike anything, and it will make you a really good girl. It will make you really obedient to my suggestions. And no, this isn’t a normal drug from a drug store. This is special.”

-Riley-

”Oh, you will, Riley, you will. You will do everything I say,” he said with a smile that was just too nasty on his face. His eyes flashed with the hint of his wolf. I covered the gun with my palm as I looked at Hiran as he walked towards me.

I pressed a hand against my mouth.

“Oh Riley, I wouldn’t tell you if it hadn’t already done its job. You could feel, don’t you?” he asked in a smug voice as he crossed his arms. I shot at him, but he quickly avoided the bullets. I shot again, and one scratched his cheek, but still he was standing/

My hands shook and I already felt dizzy.

He didn’t even react when I whirled around, and I almost started to run when I heard his voice telling me that I was not going anywhere. My vision blurred, and the surroundings became overwhelmingly bright. The vibrant hues of pink and purple flooded my senses, and an intense sensation akin to molten lava coursed through my throat, searing every inch of my body.

“Come here, Riley, come on, kitty, kitty, you can’t run anywhere,” the sing-song voice taunted, dripping with mockery and cruelty. Its twisted melody sent shivers down my spine, like icy tendrils creeping through my veins.

“Come now. Oh, and you know I said everyone in the pack was poisoned. Well, not everyone. My men are still here, waiting for you. They will catch you for me and they are not- well, they are not good men.” The words were dripping with malevolence.

I didn’t want to go.

“No,” Gem said. “Something is happening to me. Riley, Riley… I don’t feel so good. I feel like-“

“I am sorry, Gemmy. You were right. I was arrogant. I misjudged him. I thought he was cruel and dumb, but he-he wasn’t dumb.”

“No, not the time to give up or feel sorry. We are a team, we have always been and we will do this together.”

“COME.”

I knew I shouldn’t, but I walked towards the room.

I resitsted. If he touched me now, if I gave up now, he would never let me go. He would brand me, and I didn’t want that brand on my skin. I hated just the feeling of his hands on my skin.

Everything in my body burned, engulfed in an inferno of excruciating pain. Waves of torment surged through every fiber of my being, each sensation more intense than the last. Agony consumed me, ripping through my nerves like a relentless storm. A small whimper left my lips as I looked at him, my eyes blurry.

“The more you resist, the more you will feel the pain. This drug is a masterpiece. Ramsay is a genius. He really had outdone himself.”

“You will never make me do anything I don’t want to-“

“Tut, tut, tut,” he clicked with his tongue as he started to unbutton his shirt. “Let’s play a game. When I remove a shirt, you will remove yours.”

“How can you be so cruel?”

“Because Riley, you have no place to question me. You are a woman -“

“And you are a coward. A fu.cking spineless coward, and you are not a man, not at all,” I said and clutched my stomach.

The pain twisted and contorted, taking on a life of its own. It clawed at my skin, gnawed at my bones, and infiltrated the very core of my being, and each breath I took felt like inhaling fire. It scorched my lungs and left me gasping for reprieve.

“What did you do to me?”

“I told you. The more you resist- this is what Ramsay uses to make his wolves fight each other in his club. They would fight until one of them died. It is good entertainment. But yes, the drug is not without its side-effects. The weaker wolves simply died. But you are not a weaker werewolf,” he said as he gave me a smile that made me want to vomit.

“What are you saying?” I cried out as I slid down the wall and sat down, as tears leaked down my cheeks.

“I am saying that this drug won’t kill you. It will only make you mine, again.”

“Think about Roman. Adrian. If something happens to you, they will worry.”

“I – I want this pain to stop? Stop.”

“Stop. Make it stop.”

“Only you can make it stop, Riley. Remove your blouse. I haven’t seen those magnificent breasts in a while.”

“You told me I wasn’t good in bed. You can find someone else, anyone else. Let me go.”

“And you told me I wasn’t. Do I care? Let’s make a baby, Luna. You love your pups so much.”

“I will never bring a child to a world where you are alive.”

“You talk too much, Luna,” he walked towards me and pulled me up. His claws lengthened and he ripped my blouse off.

“Kick him.”

“I can’t.”

“I said kick him. We are not weak.”

I looked down at myself, and I knew I couldn’t go down. I stood up and roared. He blinked.

“Stop.”

He didn’t even touch the gun after it fell down. It was still on the floor. He was so confident that I wouldn’t do it, confident about the drug he gave me.

“Grab it. Grab.” It is killing me, the pain that came with resisting him, but I knew Gem was right.

I can’t lose now. I quickly turned towards Saph– or was it Soph– and grabbed it. I wished Rome and Adrian were here. Fu.ck, I wished I had taken up on Ash’s offer, but she couldn’t have done anything either.

“You will not shoot me. You won’t. Stop trying.”

My head spun, and then I gasped when I saw the familiar face peeking at me from the door. Hiran was so busy glaring at me, he didn’t see her. “There. Good girl,” she said to me. ” You are alright. Now throw it.”

She was a better aim than me, anyway.

“Oh Dee,” I slurred as I threw the gun and she caught it perfectly in midair before she turned towards Hiran. She shot him. He wasn’t expecting her here and the bullet. He hissed in pain.

She shot him. Again. He screamed. I screamed along with him as another shot of pain ran along my nerves. It hurt more than the bullet would have hurt him.

She shot him in his thigh, and then sent another one to his leg. “I could do this all day, every day,” she said with a dark chuckle as she shot one just above his head. He flinched.

“You bi.tch,” he growled at me. “How can you resist me?”

“You have all the answers,” I walked closer to my bedside table where I saw a lot of small medication bottles. It must be the drug he was using on me. I grabbed one and winced. “Is this the same drug you gave me?”

“He gave you drugs?” Dee growled and shot the gun again. The bullet whooshed past his ear, making him flinch.

“Yes, the first one is aerolized and then you are going to give me what- a dose of this everyday to keep me under your control?” I hissed as my body began to tremble. This time, I didn’t feel the pain. This time it was power. I put the gun down and grabbed the syringe and the bottle of whatever the hell it was. This magical drugs Ramsay made.

“And it should have killed you or made me easy to control you, but…”

“You seem to know more about me than I do. Enlighten me.” I could see the pain in his face as the Aconitum worked its magic on him. I took the drug in the syringe and tapped the edge of the syringe with a smile. I felt cruel. “Let’s see who can hold on longer. We will play a game now.”

“What are you doing?” He growled.

“I am going to do what you did to me. It was only fair I returned the favor. I have already paid back my first debt. You gave me pain and I gave you pain, twice the amount. Now let me use this one for you.”

“Oh and double men, hot damn,” Dee said with a smirk.

He tried to move. I grabbed his hair in my hand as Dee pressed her shoe on his back. I quickly stuck the syringe to his throat. And pushed. A loud howl left his lips.

“Oh, welcome Hiran Waites, to your hell.”
