A Luna For Two Alphas

Caught Between Two Alphas

From the corner of her rustic window, Natalia looked at the lively atmosphere of the pack house. From what she had heard, she knew Alpha Liam successfully managed to sign a deal with some very rich and powerful Alpha. In order to celebrate this, he was throwing a party for every member of the Greyhound pack. Technically, she was invited too, as she was a part of the current beta family of the pack and, not to mention, her younger sister turned out to be the future Luna of the pack. However, like every celebration, Natalia held herself back, knowing there would be nothing other than shame and disgust for her in those celebrations. Scoffing loudly, she shut down the window and closed the door, locking herself inside the room. Minutes passed, and she thought the feeling of uneasiness and discomfort would go away gradually, but it only increased with each passing second. Her body started to feel hot and her heart palpitated. Feeling stuffy and closeted, she immediately opened the door and walked out of the room for fresh air.

After walking for a few minutes, she indeed felt a lot better and her heartbeat returned to normal. She took a turn and decided to go back.

Just then, a car which was way behind her suddenly started to pick up the pace and started to follow her. Driving inside, Henry inhaled the delicious scent of honey and rose, and his heart began to pound. Though he never really cared for them, that did not mean he was a novice not recognizing the signs sent by the Goddess. As the light shone he could only see the silhouette of the girl who was wearing some kind of gown. Her long hair reached her waist and the wavy texture looked ethereal.

“Fuck.”

Whispering to himself, he stepped on the accelerator and sped all the way up to her in a matter of a few seconds. The moment his eyes fell on her, he pressed the break hard, making the car a screeching sound as it circled just in the middle of the road.

Both of them were too stunned to speak, one feeling the excitement growing in his heart while the other was scared out of her mind.

Henry slowly got out of the car and started to walk towards the prettiest girl he had ever seen. Dressed in his casual jeans and neatly combed long hair made him look like a model shooting for some magazine.

Natalia, on the other hand, took deep breaths to calm down her pounding heart. She had little to no clue what was happening, but her instinct told her to be cautious and careful.

“Hi.”

A simple word, yet it felt stuck inside his throat as Henry whispered it, trying to introduce himself.

Standing closer, he noticed her angelic face and her beautiful eyes. She looked shocked, yet her expression was ethereal. Her long hair that reached all the way down to her waist made her look like a dream. Lost in her beauty, Henry struggled to keep his sanity in check and immediately pulled her close to him for a hug.

The familiar intoxicated scent ….

“Is this how it feels to see your mate for the very first time?”

“Damn, it’s so good.”

Hundreds of thoughts ran inside his mind and his heart was pounding as he embraced his mate, breathing her sweet scent in and feeling one of the most ethereal feelings of being a werewolf. In his excitement, he forgot to pay attention to his mate, who was uncomfortable and shocked. Natalia tried to push him but for some reason her body gave out. Strangely, she felt safe in a stranger’s embrace and did not really understand why.

A minute passed and Henry finally let go of his mate and held her hand instead.

“Let’s go. I want to introduce you to everyone.”

His high-pitched, excited voice left no room for negotiation and Natalia was dragged into his car the next moment. She fidgeted, looked around to find anything that would convey her thoughts, but found none. Her words got stuck in her mouth and, no matter what, she could not even whisper properly. Holding her breath, she resigned everything to fate and silently sat as the man beside him grinned and smiled while driving the car at full speed.

As the road became familiar, the uneasiness in her heart grew. When the brightened pack house came into her view Natalia took a deep breath to stop fidgeting. Her legs were already shaking, and she kept trying hard to keep them still. However, completely unaware of the turmoil Natalia was going through, Henry looked like the happiest man in the world. He always felt he did not really need a mate or what if his mate turned out something he did not like? But looking at the pretty face he knew he had hit a jackpot in life. Everything was secondary in front of his mate’s beautiful face. He could not wait to show off her at the celebration and see Liam’s jealous face.

Though there was no doubt his friend Liam’s Luna Ramona was a beauty, she looked nothing compared to his mate.

“Hahn.. Take that sucker.”

He could imagine everyone’s reaction and grinned in pride. The moment they arrived, he literally got out and held Natalia’s hand, only to start running.

Once inside, he hastily started to look around for his best friend. His hold on his mate was still tight as he swamped through the crowd. In his excitement he did not notice how the people around him gave off weird and strange reactions to see him.

“Liam, I found my mate.”

Henry’s voice echoed in the party and a second later, he raised his mate’s hand to show off her in front of everyone. As he had expected, the crowded hall became silent at once and everyone was looking directly at him. He felt proud of their envious gaze, as he had a beauty beside him that almost every man desired.

The deafening silence lasted for a few seconds before Ramona Stone started to walk. Her heel made a clanking sound as she walked towards Henry and Natalia, her face grim and stern.

Standing close to her elder sister, she did not hesitate to glare at her.

“Why are you here, Nat? Are you seriously going to cause trouble for us on a day like this when all of us are happy and celebrating Liam’s success?”

Ramona’s voice brought everyone back to their senses and Liam hurriedly walked towards his friend.

“What do you mean you found your mate, Henry? Don’t tell me she is your mate?”

Being an Alpha, Henry was by no means naive or foolish. He easily recognized the look of contempt and disgust in Liam and Natalia’s voices. His hand automatically released the grip and Natalia felt caged standing in front of everyone.

“Did she tell you anything? Like who she is or what is her name?”

“She did not right because she can’t. She is nothing but an embarrassment to our whole family, Alpha Henry.”

Henry instantly staggered back and stood stunned. Ramona’s voice echoed in his mind.

That’s right. From the moment I saw her until now, she did not utter a single f*****g word.

The happiness of finding a beautiful mate went down the drain after hearing his mate was a mute who could not even speak properly.

“Do you remember the girl I told you I rejected because she had no wolf. That’s her.”

Liam’s voice pierced Henry’s heart and his dream shattered into a million pieces.

“First Mute, and now no Wolf. What the f**k was happening to me?”

“No.. No. That can’t be right. I mean just look at her. She looks like a damn fairy. How can she be..?”

Henry tried to defend her, but no words came out of his mouth. He struggled to make himself stable and realized how he had made a big fool of himself in front of everyone. He was so lost in excitement that he forgot to pay attention to little details, and now he was on the verge of becoming a laughingstock.

Nahh..

Nope.

There was no way he would have a mute and worthless she-wolf as her mate and the future Luna of the pack.

He strengthened himself and yanked Natalia’s arm with great force.

“What’s your name?”

“I’m asking what’s your name, damn it?”

The same angry voice, same people and same situation. Everything was just repeating itself. Natalia did not want to be in this situation anymore. Her heart was already pounding faster than ever, and she felt everyone’s disgusted eyes on her. She tried to release herself from the man who claimed to be her mate, but it was in vain.

“Na.. Nat..”

No matter what, the words did not come out, but a series of laughter followed her stuttered voice. Enraged, Henry tightened the hold with great force and Natalia teared up feeling her bone was about to break.

“Natalia Stone.”

Ramona promoted eagerly, waiting to witness another unforgettable dramatic moment.

“I, Henry Silver Knight, Alpha of the Knight Pack, reject you, Natalia Stone, as my mate and as my Luna.”

Those words left everyone speechless, but it was not like they had not anticipated it.

“Accept it.”

Henry growled loudly, making Natalia flinch and a loud snap was heard, followed by her loud scream as her arm broke.

Everything happened in an instant so that no one had time to react when suddenly a flying figure rushed inside and kicked Henry hard. The figure supported Natalia, who instantly passed out because of the pain and then glared at Henry who was now on the ground.

“What the f**k? How dare you to kick me?”

Henry retorted.

“Thank your lucky star that I only kicked you for breaking my mate’s arm. From this moment on, our alliance is over, Alpha Liam.”

Archer’s loud voice echoed in the empty hall and Liam stood frozen. Everyone watched as he picked up Natalia and slowly walked away from their sight, leaving them shocked to their core.
