Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas - Chapter 32

Chapter 32 – Alessia’s request
Alpha Denzel was in his training wear, black sleeveless shirt and sweatpants. His eyes carried no emotions, and there was no warmth in his voice. “If you don’t get to the training room in nine minutes, you shall be punished.”

His voice was stern, and as soon as he spoke, he turned around and left. Alessia quickly put on her training pants with a hazy mind. Is this what happens in the Evergreen pack? At least she got to rest a lot at the Litha Moon Pack, unknown to her that training with Alpha Denzel was always brutal.

Whenever he was away, the pack members would experience a breather, as Adira was not as fierce as him. Knowing that she wouldn’t make it in time, Alessia drove there.

Standing at the entrance was Alpha Denzel. His eyes glazed with annoyance, and his voice was like the winter breeze.

“You drove to training? This is the second offense in the constitution of the Evergreen pack. The first offense is simple. Thou shall not be late.”

“I…” Alessia was lost for words. It wasn’t the same for the Litha Moon pack, as somebody in the position of the gamma could drive to training.

“On the treadmill at fifty kilometers per hour. You have to use up the energy,” Alpha Denzel commanded.

Allessia was shocked, her throat dry. What happened to Alpha Denzel overnight? He looked like a monster, and she was so scared she couldn’t jab her way out of the situation. How could some as so handsome scare her so much?

“You are wasting time, or I can increase it,” Alpha Denzel glared at her with seriousness. Other warriors were running in as the communication was ongoing.

Allessia ran to the training room and climbed onto one of the treadmills, knowing that her day would never be the same after this workout. Never had she worked out at such speed in her life.

A minute before the time, every soul had reported to training, shocked but marveled to see their Alpha himself. It was expected since they were woken up by the mindlink, but they expected him to be a bit late.

“Adira is no longer a member of this pack. In her place is Allessia. I hope you accord her with the same respect accorded Adira.”

The warriors nodded their heads as Allessia waved from where she was running on the treadmill. Adira was good, so if the Alpha appointed Allessia to replace the former, then they believed she was stronger and smarter.

“Training is going to be harder than before. We are going to move from the comfort of this room to climb the mountains. We shall also be making good use of the manmade lake from now onwards and I will introduce new techniques of attacks and defense,” Alpha Denzel explained calmly.

The warriors were excited for the changes. Everyone wanted to be stronger than the other, especially when in battle with other packs.

Rumors had gone around the packs, but with the Alpha not saying anything about it, curiosity got the better part of them.

“Alpha, will Luna Valerie become a pack member? The recent attack makes everybody think that she is innocent,” Julius, one of the strongest warriors, asked. Just like everyone, he was happy to see Alpha Denzel, meaning they were going to be stronger.

However, most of the warriors had secretly been lusting over the beauty of Luna Valerie. With the certainty that the Alpha wanted nothing to do with her, it was only natural that he allows them to have fun with her.

Alpha Denzel’s expression changed dramatically. “Nothing should be heard about her in this pack. If there is a need to let you know, it will be announced.”

Disappointment and confusion poked their senses, but no one dared to ask anymore. Luna Valerie was in the same pack, and yet, none of them had set eyes on her. They had no idea where she even was.

Some of them had been trooping to the dungeon and the shacks in the hope of setting eyes on her to confirm her beauty as seen in the videos, but sadly, there was no sign of her.

“Allessia,” Alpha Denzel called out. When she got off the treadmill, her legs felt like jelly.

“Alpha,” she responded, breathing heavily. Alpha Denzel had a small smirk in the corner of his lips. Allessia needed a lot of training, but he wouldn’t be there to take her through it all. There was still one person who could do the job for him, and yet, he couldn’t ask her.

Alpha Denzel didn’t show any emotion in his eyes. He already announced her as the Beta and so had to proceed with the ceremony.

“Allessia, do you pledge your wholehearted support for this pack?”

Allessia smiled weakly. She thought it was going to be another punishment. “With all my heart, Alpha Denzel.”

“Burke, get me a knife,” he said. Burke had left the cottage as soon as he heard movements in the room, arriving at training on time. Allessia was soon to realize that things were different in the Evergreen pack.

“To be a member of the pack, one must have a taste of the Alpha’s blood.” Burke returned with not only a knife but also a drinking glass. “Anyone not pack-born who joined the pack must drink the Alpha’s blood as a proof of loyalty.

Alpha Denzel pierced his palm after saying those words, drops of blood fell into the drinking glass. Within five seconds, the bleeding stopped, and the cut began to heal. Allessia took the glass and gulped the content down.

The result was unexpected; it suddenly felt as if she carried a big load on her head. Ceaseless voices rang in her mind, and she felt as if she was going crazy.

A shriek tore from her throat, accompanied by dizziness. Before she passed out, Burke took the empty glass from her hand as Alpha Denzel caught her in his arms before her body hit the floor.

Then he lowered her gently to the maple wood floor.

‘Wake up!’ A mindlink zapped through Allessia’s mind, her eyes snapped open as they bore into Alpha Denzel’s dark gaze.

“Congratulations on being a member and beta of the Evergreen pack. You should reach the top of the mountain before the twenty minutes on the timer elapse.

What a monster. Allessia did not have time to argue, afraid of being punished. She was running as fast as she could, but Alpha Denzel soon bypassed her with a warning, “you are too slow. Your training time will be doubled.”

By the time training ended, even the strongest warriors had no desire to go about their normal work schedules. The level of exhaustion was none like they ever experienced before.

Allessia, partially unconscious, was carried by Burke to the packhouse. Alpha Denzel was about to go to his room to shower when Allessia made a request.

“I have two phones. I want to give one to Valerie for emergencies. Is it okay? Also, I want to go rest at her place.”
