Alpha’s Pregnant Luna - Chapter 23: Chapter 23

Renee
I’m in trouble. Big time.
‘Why did I do it? What exactly made me do it?’ I ponder as I frantically pace back and forth.
Okay…. I know why I did it but I never actually thought I had the courage to do this on my own. I never thought my anger and hatred would actually push me to do something that could lead to my death.
But can I truly be blamed?
I was meant to be his Luna and I have loved Alpha Frankie right from before he became the Alpha king. His little shows of affection to a girl who was like a sister to him meant more to me.
When we first moved here and no one wanted to be my friend because I had mismatched eyes but he would always stay to play with me. He was the reason everyone started to talk to me without assuming I was a witch.
I can’t even begin to explain how much excitement and happiness I felt when I was chosen to be his Luna. It felt like a dream come true to realize that Alpha Frankie was finally going to be mine. I knew I could never find my mate because people like me don’t get mates and I was so happy, but that never happened. This was why I found myself in this muddled-up situation that could cost me my life if he ever found out.
I find that even as I am panicking, I don’t regret anything I have done, I am just sacred that once it is traced to me, I will be killed.
I saw how Frankie went off on everyone at the meeting and how enraged he looked, like a starved lion. I wouldn’t want to get on his bad side or else, I would stop getting the preferential treatment.
The crown, the throne, and the King should have been mine! They were almost mine!
Now they all belong to the frail human lying on the floor of my room.
Kidnapping her was so easy since she was nothing but a weak and powerless human that I can snap with just a finger. I wondered why the moon goddess would pair her with someone as strong as Frankie. I wonder what made Alpha Xayden fall for her to begin with, she’s a weak human and she can’t even shift.
Ever since the announcement made by Alpha Frankie, the one that ripped my heart into pieces, I have been keeping an eye on him and watching his movements and curious to know what his mate looked like. I garnered sources at the pack hospital and I found enough information about her including the fact that she was pregnant.
At first, I was shocked and then rage followed at the thought of her getting pregnant for Alpha Frankie but my sources told me that the child wasn’t his. That could only mean it belonged to Alpha Xayden.
I was at peace for a while because it meant the mating hadn’t happened and an alpha king would never raise a bastard. I soon found that I was immensely wrong as Frankie chose to stick with her and crown her as his Luna.
Why does he desperately want to keep a woman who is pregnant with another man’s child? Why was he so obsessed with this weak human when he can have someone as strong as me? I was better, more beautiful, more experienced in pack affairs since my father used to be a beta and I was a beauty as far as I was concerned.
Unconsciously and out of hatred and complete anger for the human, I hatched a plan. If Alpha Frankie can’t get rid of her himself, then I might as well help him to move the obstacle away.
When I learned she was taking a walk away from the hospital and I knew it was the perfect chance to get her. So, I traced her scent and caught her off guard, drugged her, and dragged her all the way with me to my chamber, making sure no one saw me.
The only issue with my plan is that it was half-assed as I never thought of what I would do when I had her. The plan was borne out of my anger and I didn’t think it through at all.
Now I don’t know what to do with the drugged human sleeping on my floor peacefully while her Alpha is raining hell and burning houses down to find her.
Alpha Frankie would have my head if he ever finds out.
And so, the only thing I could do was to call my brother, Hawke. He was the only one I know who can help me out of this mess.
Soon my door swings open and an angry Hawke walks in. I rush towards him unable to stop my face from lighting up in gratitude.
“You’re here” I exclaim loudly.
He scoffed and said ” of course I am! Now tell me what’s so important that I had to leave my Alpha to come for you? You know what’s going on Renee. His mate is missing and we have to find her!”
His Alpha always comes first and I hated him for that. Hawke never did anything for a day in his life without his alpha coming first. It’s his loyalty to Alpha Frankie that pisses me off the most during times like this but I am family and I am sure he wouldn’t ignore his family.
“She’s not missing” I blurted out without thinking and I watch as his eyes washes over me and confusion masks his face.
“What do you mean she’s not missing?” He asked loudly
I quickly grab at his hands and hold them tight in a desperate plea.
“You have to help me Hawke, please” I said tearfully.
“What the hell is going on with you Renee?” He said looking at me with panic in his eyes.
“I took her,” I mutter almost inaudibly but I was sure he heard me as he freezes almost instantly.
“I took his mate, goddammit!” I cry out in frustration while hoping no one heard me.
His eyes widen and it’s only then that he looks around and sees the human on the floor beside my bed.
His mouth widens as does his eyes and he seems to be shocked frozen. Panics immediately grips me as I start to regret calling me but I soon calm when I assure myself that he would surely help his family.
“Is t_t_ that her?” He stutters and I nod meekly
“Yes” I mutter
“Fuck Renee!” He growls and steps away from me.
“Why? Why would you do that!!!??? Fuck why?!” He was screaming now and he looked too angry. I’ve never ever seen him this angry before all my life. Talk about being a betrayal, he was supposed to understand me but his Alpha comes first as usual. I just hoped he help save my head or else, his relationship with Frankie would be affected too.
“Don’t act like you don’t know why!” I yell back at him.
“You know how much I cherish Frankie and he was this close to being mine” He looked me over and then scoffed.
“Do you know what could happen to you if he finds out you took her?” He asked through gritted teeth and I rolled my eyes mentally.
‘Why would I call him if I didn’t know?’ I question internally.
“That’s why I need your help to return her. I admit I was wrong. I didn’t…. I didn’t think it through, it was just a moment of weakness” I pleaded and I prayed and hoped he pitied me.
“How am I supposed to help with this? He’ll kill us both if he finds out!” He screamed and I sighed in relief when I knew he at least wanted to help me.
“You can’t turn your back on me Hawke! I’m your little sister! You have to help me, please.” I plead with tears pooling in my eyes and I saw him groan. He looked like he was having an internal battle with himself.
His eyes flash with indecision and worry as he looks away from me and down at the human on the floor. He sighs resignedly as he palms his face in his hands while repeatedly cursing.
“Fine. First, we have to get her out of here now and put her somewhere near his territory where he can find her easily. You’re lucky all of the guards are out looking for her outside of the territory. Take her and I’ll watch your back. I’ll clear the CCTV footage around the pack house. I’ll say I found her there but that’s as far as I can go for you Renee. I’m really disappointed in you as it is and I would have never agreed to help if you weren’t my sister”
“Thank you!” I squeal and watch him nod and leave while I carry the girl on my back and out of my chamber.
Soon it was all done. I dropped her at a small shed close to Alpha Frankie’s territory and Hawke called him to tell him that she had been found after clearing the CCTV footage.
Everything was going to be fine….at least for now.
ALPHA Frankie.
“Alpha! I found her”
The sound of Hawke’s voice has never felt so comforting as it felt today when I heard it.
He had found her.
He had found my mate.
I really hoped she was okay as she wasn’t even in the right state of mind and body when she was kidnapped. I can’t even imagine how unstable she is right now all because I couldn’t protect her.
I finally reached the place where Hawke found her and I rushed towards her immediately as Hawke bowed to me.
She was wrapped in a blanked and she looked really pale and lifeless. If it wasn’t for the occasional rise and fall in her chest, one would have termed her dead.
The sight breaks my heart as I picked her up bridal style and held her close to me while walking towards the bedroom.
“Did you see anything?” I ask Hawke and he shakes his head in the negative.
“I saw nothing” he replies curtly.
Someone dropped her here and I’m sure of that but I didn’t need them now. I would get to the root of it later but for now, nothing mattered beyond my mate
I started to whispered how sorry I was to let her down and that I didn’t want her to go through hell again. She didn’t have any marks on her body so I had to wonder why she was kidnapped in the first place.
“For letting you get hurt and finding you so late. I’m sorry” I said as I held her closer and sat on the bed of my bedroom.
Hawke soon interrupted me as he had received a call from the council with them saying that “The trial will take place as planned”
Fucking elders! I should have known it was too good to be true when they made such a deal with Xayden and I. Now I found her first and they are going back on their words, I hated the way they were always unfair to me. It’s either Xayden had dirt on them or they are plain selfish.
It has me pissed off but right now all I care about is my mate. A trial with Xayden doesn’t scare me because I know he doesn’t stand a chance beside me.
I will not back down from this.
