Betrayed Luna's Second Chance Alphas
Betrayed Luna’s Second Chance Alphas – Chapter 41

-Riley-

“Oh, welcome Hiran Waites, to your hell,” Dee said as she kicked him down; He growled again.

“No growling, puppy, puppy,” I said with a dark look in his direction before I turned to Deidre. “How are you here, Dee? I am glad you are here, though.”

“I read your message about Reid not here in the pack, and I knew… There wasn’t a reason in this whole world that would stop him from being here for you. So I just assumed this as.shole must have done something to him.” She waved the gun at Hiran.

“And you walked in empty handed?”

“Well, not exactly,” she said as she kicked the door open and I laughed when I saw her bow and arrows sitting against the wall. “I had already prepared them in advance, dipping each one in Wolfsbane and keeping them ready in my trunk, just in case I ever needed them. And I had lost four shooting a few of his men. I came here, prepared to shoot him with the arrow, and then, when I saw your gun, and damn, I really, really wanted to shoot him.”

He gripped his bleeding arm. He looked pathetic. Weak. So unlike the arrogant man who preyed on me for years, who used me and my love and took advantage of me. This was who he was, who he had been. This sad excuse for an Alpha.

He couldn’t heal properly until the bullet was removed, and he couldn’t shift until the wolfsbane was in his system. It left him vulnerable and stripped of his inherent strength. Right now, he was truly helpless.

At that moment, we held his fate in our hands, and that was such a powerful feeling.

“What should we do with him?”

“First we need the antidote, and then we have hours and hours to play. Look at all these vials full of drugs he had brought just for me?!” I pointed to the small vials filled with nasty red liquid. “We will give him everything.”

“No, no,” Hiran whimpered.

“GET UP,” I said and he shook his head. “I said get up.”

He shook his head. “No,” he said. A piercing howl of agony escaped his lips, reverberating through the stillness of the night. I smiled, feeling a quiet sense of peacefulness.

It was a sound that carried the weight of his suffering, echoing the depths of his torment. Each note of anguish, laced with desperation, made me happier.

“You are bloodthirsty,” Gem said with a shudder. “Even I am afraid of you right now.”

“Well, sometimes, you have to be bloodthirsty,” I said as I licked my lips before I turned to Hiran.

“You still didn’t get up? How about another dose of this? Or how about an arrow through your eye? It won’t kill you, I promise. You are not dying yet. You will die after we get all the answers.”

“You won’t get anything from-“

Deidre shot again, making him flinch back.

“Get up, or the next one goes to your – umm, how about that useless d.ick? Can I do that?” Deidre looked at me and I laughed.

“Of course. He wanted to give me a pup. His pup.” I shuddered. “We really have to do it, Dee so that he will never even think of doing anything like that to me again.”

“Positive?”

“No, Riley. You are not allowed to do this,” he said as he stood up. “No. I will destroy you,” he said in a voice that sounded broken from his painful scream.

“Well, not before we destroy you first,” Deidre said as she ran her fingers through her blonde hair.

“Okay, let’s not do that yet. It will come in handy if he is uncooperative,” I said before I looked at him. “Grab that chair and sit, Hiran. Until you do everything I say, your c.ock is safe.” He didn’t try to resist this time. “Now give me that antidote, and don’t play games with me, or I will end your family line.”

“The drawer in my study.”

“Where is the key?” I growled at him, my eyes flashing and he pulled away as if I truly scared him. Maybe I did.

“In my pant pocket,” he said and flinched and bit his lips hard until his lips were bleeding.

“Well, what? You want me to reach into your pocket and grab the key? Take it out and hand it to Dee.”

He growled, but again did as he was told.

“Good fu.cking dog.”

“And how does the antidote work? Do I have to give it to everyone? Even the kids? How cruel are you?”

“A drop of it on the tongues. And the kids are locked in that orphan house.”

“How many hours do they have?” I asked, my heart twisting painfully. I- I couldn’t even imagine losing any of them. At least, he hadn’t done anything to the kids.

“An hour and a few minutes.” The drug was really, really effective. For a second, my body shuddered when I thought of what he could have done to me if Dee hadn’t come.

-Riley-

“Oh, welcome Hiran Waites, to your hell,” Dee said as she kicked him down; He growled again.

“Go. Wake up Reid and Miller and they will help you,” I said to Dee. Our pack was quite small and we only had around sixty-four members, so it wouldn’t take too much time.

She ran out, leaving me alone with Hiran. I just realized I was still in my bra. I grabbed a t-shirt and wore it before I turned towards him. “We have a lot of things to talk about, don’t we? Let’s start from this,” I said as I looked at him straight in the eyes. “You know the Lycans sent by the Alpha king… they were the ones who f.ucked me.” Technically, it was only one, but he didn’t need to know that. “And they were good. Now that I am done gloating, let’s get to business.”

He growled out in anger as he lunged at me, his eyes flashing. Warring. I knew he felt the same need to resist as I did, but the pain was just too much.

“Stop and sit back on the chair,” I said, and he sat down. I walked closer to him and traced the bullet wound on his arm with the empty syringe in my hand.

“Are you my mate?”

“Of course, I am.” His voice came out confident.

“Not the question I asked. Are you really my fated mate, as you have made me believe?”

“I-” he gritted his teeth and g*****d. He pressed his lips, and then finally answered. I gripped his hair.

“Answer me.”

“N-no. No, you are not. “

As his words pierced the air, my anger transformed into a chilling mixture of disbelief and horror. The grip on his hair slackened slightly, my fingers loosening their hold as my mind struggled to process the depth of his betrayal.

I did expect something, but it still made me stumble back.

I felt as if I had been hit by a truck and resuscitated back from death at the same time. It was a feeling that I couldn’t explain. It was unimaginable.

“You…what? How did you?” I managed to stammer, my voice barely audible, but laced with a rawness that reflected the disbelief within me.

The world around us blurred, and the weight of his confession pressed upon my chest, threatening to suffocate me.

He wore a smug expression, as if reveling in the power he believed he possessed over me.

He wasn’t my fated mate. He had lied, once again. But how did he? I felt the tingle, I felt my wolf stir deep within me. I thought that was how one would sense their mate.

The realization struck me like a bolt of lightning—I had been manipulated, played like a pawn in his cruel game. The bond he claimed was founded upon his own selfish desires, reducing me to nothing more than a possession.

I had never really talked with another mated wolf to ask how they knew when they found their mate. I always assumed it was the tingles, the undeniable sparks that came with every touch, the connection. But was I wrong?

“What did you do to me?” I shouted.

He gritted his teeth. I stabbed the syringe into his bullet wound and he screamed and then pursed his lips, shaking his head.

“Well, let’s try the second dose.” I grabbed the vial and he shook his head. “Tell me then.”

“The club I go to-“

“Ramsay’s club.”

He nodded. “There is a necromancer in that club who does b***d magic.”

“B***d magic?” My eyes widened as I looked at him and he nodded.

“You did some kind of magic to make me believe I am your mate? What kind of twisted, manipulative- Yeah, your kind,” I said as I rubbed my eyes with a wince. My head was pounding. This was too much to take.

It wasn’t just cheating. It was everything. Every moment we shared, every word he said, everything was a lie.

“But how did you get my b***d?” I was burning inside.

“I want to kill him,” Gem hissed, clawing from the inside. She wanted to shift and then maul him until he was unrecognizable.

“I want to do the same. But we still have to find all the answers he has.”

“You donate b***d at Mercy memorial hospital.”

“You stalked me, you found out about me. How long it took you?”

“Two weeks.”

He had stopped even trying to defy me.

“And? What did you mean when you said I wasn’t some weak werewolf?”

“You are- you aren’t just an ordinary werewolf,” he said with a wince. He looked like he wanted to take his words back.

“What do you mean?” I was once again shocked. How much had he hidden from me? So many lies, so many wasted years of twisted manipulation… he wasted my life.

“You had- you are- you have the Alpha b***d.”

I stumbled back from him as my eyes narrowed.

“You are lying,” I hissed. “Why would you lie about that?”

“Only someone from the Alpha bloodline can identify the scent of Alpha b***d, and sense the power. I did. That is why-“

“You made me your Luna. You wanted someone strong to carry on your bloodline, and yet someone who was clueless and naive and stupid. I was the perfect puppet, am I not?”

My voice quivered. He didn’t even hesitate when he nodded to my question.

“But- my old pack… no one ever told me-“

I was an orphan, and I lived never knowing who my parents were. Who were my parents, really? What did I not know about myself? My wolf?

“I don’t know why they didn’t tell you, because your Alpha would have recognized it as soon as you shifted.”

I took a deep breath, overwhelmed by what he had just told me. I ran away the same day I shifted. I didn’t even wait. My Alpha never met me.

“But why would he lie about us?”

“Why didn’t Reid say anything about that to me? Did you do something?”

“I -“

“You used magic, again, didn’t you?”

I didn’t know how the magic worked, but if he could fake a bond, he could do anything. Hiran nodded and I slumped on the bed as I looked at him.

“You are good,” I whispered as I grabbed my head in my hand. “So good.”

He pushed the chair back and stood up, trying to use my moment of weakness. I shot him in his as.s and he bellowed as he whirled around, and snarled. His eyes were fierce. But he could growl all he wanted, and he wasn’t going anywhere.

“Sit back down.”

“You will regret this, Riley.”

“Yeah, I will do it later.”

He was starting to resist more and more and I couldn’t afford to let him go yet. Or ever. I took another dose and stuck the needle to the side of his neck. He whimpered as the medication found its way inside his body, searing him.

“Now, these names-” I grabbed my phone and he paled a little and shook his head. “Who are they?”

“No, I don’t-“

“Do you want the third dose? You might die!”

“They were the members of our pack.”

“What did you do to them?”

“They- they -” I narrowed my eyes.

“You sent them to be experimented on, didn’t you, you fuc.king, useless excuse for a person. You sold your own pack members for money?” I grabbed his hair in mine and pulled his as I dug my claws into his neck. Gem was done… and I didn’t mind it. Everything in me burned in anger.

He growled and shook his head. “Power. Money comes and goes. Power stays.”

“And now you are weak, and you are helpless. What happened to your power? Now, I am the one who has the power over you.”

“Everything is an illusion, Luna. You will learn it soon enough.”

-Unknown creature-

Deep in the woods, the creature prowled. Long, owlish eyes looked around. It only saw red. It long, bent central incisors were like a small, sharp tusk.

He had a scent.

And now he would go for the hunt.

His senses became alert. His mouth watered, thinking of the b***d. Warm. Sweet.

The air was warm on its mottled skin, filled with dots.

“Find them, or Lord Ramsay will kill us. You don’t want to die, do you?”

“It was an abomination. What was Ramsay trying to make?” Another voice said.

“Whatever it was, it wasn’t what came out of that experiment. He would have been happier if they had just died.”

A voice said. The creature shook his bald head.

No. He would not let his master find him. He was done living in the cages. He had tasted b***d once, and he would not stop again. He need b***d. More b***d. He licked his curved, jagged incisors with his tongue. B***D.

He turned to the other creature standing next to him.

A loud, guttural roar left his lips as he ran… the other creature followed him.

His long bent claw sank in to the chest of one of the two men, and his companion followed his move.

They ripped the hearts out in sync.

The creature roared as he dug his incisors into the man’s neck and bit and suck.

The warm taste of b***d made his head spin. For a few minutes, as he drank, everything looked and felt- not so hazy anymore.

Ethan. ETHAN. ETHAN.

The creature blinked as he stopped drinking b***d.

“Ethan. She is crying again. It is your turn to look after her.”

The creature roared again as he stood up and hurled the dead body. His companion stood up. And then they both ran deeper into the woods until they were swallowed by darkness.
