Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas - Chapter 55

Chapter 55 – That gives me hope
Alpha Ebert had noticed somebody defending the Litha Moon pack with a speed that scared him. At this juncture, he could taste his failure, which would bring him nothing but shame. Also, he was close to losing his pack and title if he so lost this war.

With his army falling so quickly, the shortcut was to eliminate Alpha Idris. If the Alpha dies, the war would forcefully be brought to an abrupt end.

Just as he got Alpha Idris where he wanted and was about to exact his final blow to kill him, Alpha Denzel appeared from nowhere.

Having shifted from their beasts into human form, they faced each other squarely, the medical team used the opportunity to attend to Alpha Idris.

There was no information that Alpha Denzel was an ally of the Litha Moon Pack. If Alpha Ebert knew this, he wouldn’t have attacked.

This also meant that the peace council was not aware so Alpha Denzel’s fight in this war was illegal. This was the reason why Alpha Ebert shifted to human form. He had to discuss this with Alpha Denzel.

“With all due respect, Alpha Denzel, this is not your war.”

A dark cloud covered Alpha Denzel’s eyes. He was greatly feared but right now, the warriors of the Litha Moon pack were excited to have him on their side. The beta, Victor, was smiling, as relief washed over him.

Adira had tears in her ears as she recalled the times she stood side by side by Alpha Denzel to defend the Evergreen pack against attackers.

That feeling was priceless when victory was always theirs. “I happened to be here on a visit and your attack distorted my peace. You don’t expect me to watch the pack that shelters me destroyed right?” He asked.

Alpha Ebert was very upset by Alpha Denzel’s rude intervention. The Litha Moon Pack would have been his.

“Is the peace council aware that you are helping them?”

Alpha Denzel’s brows raised. There was no sign of fear or regret in his eyes. “What makes you think that I care? Do you surrender?”

Alpha Ebert had to weigh his options. If he surrenders, then him, and his warriors would become slaves at the Litha Moon Pack. It might be an intense battle but he wasn’t going to give up.

“Never, Alpha Denzel. I hope that the things I heard about you are true.”

With lightening speed, he jumped and shifted in the air, ready to take advantage of Alpha Denzel’s human form but Alpha Denzel had already calculated his move.

Rolling on his back, he shifted, sinking his elongated claws into Alpha Ebert’s neck and ripping out his throat. Everything happened so fast, most people wondered how it happened.

Alpha Denzel had killed an Alpha within seconds. A groan escaped Alpha Ebert’s wolf, right before it died. Before his wolf dropped on the ground, Alpha Ebert was in human form, his throat ripped apart.

It was too late for him to realize that the rumors he heard about the ruthlessness of Alpha Denzel were indeed true.

The war was brought to an abrupt end as Alpha Idris was still in shock. He couldn’t believe to have almost died if not for Alpha Denzel’s timely intervention. He couldn’t help the gratitude filling his heart for the latter.

However, as the shouts of victory echoed through the pack, the Blue Blood Pack warriors went on their knees as a sign of surrender. They bowed to Alpha Denzel and not to Alpha Idris, though knowing they would never have the opportunity to return to their pack.

The Litha Moon pack members began to sing Alpha Denzel’s praises, creating a bitter taste in Alpha Idris mouth.

This was what he wanted to prevent but it still happened for as long as Alpha Denzel was there. Instead of thanking him like he wanted before, he turned around and left.

Alpha Denzel already guessed that things would come to this. Alpha Idris had already told him not to come but if this pack was destroyed, his aunty, Fernanda would equally suffer for it. This was the reason why he saw it as a duty to protect the pack.

“Alpha Idris,” Alpha Denzel called after him. Idris turned around as Alpha Denzel said, “This is your pack and I’m leaving. What are you going to do with these warriors?”

Alpha Idris stared momentarily at the kneeling warriors. This was the first time his pack won a battle he led so this was new to him.

Alpha Denzel noticed the lingering confusion on his face, leaned in and said to him in a hush tone, “you don’t have to be sentimental. If I need your help in anything, I will not hesitate to ask. Since you see me as a threat, I won’t help anymore. Unlike me, your parents are still alive.”

Indirectly, Alpha Denzel had just pointed out his good fortune, which he did not even realize. It was only after he saw the longing in Alpha Denzel’s eyes that things began to make sense to him.

Alpha Denzel had no family with so many responsibilities. For Alpha Idris, both is mother and father were always there to help. It was just that they were growing old and were not as fierce in a war as they were in their youth.

Luna Fernanda had arrived with Alpha Denzel’s car with her mate beside her. Alpha Denzel was almost close to his car before Alpha Idris admitted, “Thank you, Alpha Denzel.”

Alpha Denzel smiled faintly. “You are welcome. You should focus on the pack more.”

Indirectly, he was advising against his escapades with women.

“I understand. You will soon hear about the changes.”

Was Alpha Idris promising to end his escapades with women? Alpha Denzel was yet to see. However, won’t it be better for him and Alpha Idris to be close since they were cousins? That was a secret Alpha Idris had no knowledge about.

“That gives me hope,” Alpha Denzel smiled and said.

Seeing her son and nephew get along for the first time, Luna Fernanda felt a familiar warmth in her heart. “Denzel, you should shower and get going.”

She also, was eager for Alpha Denzel to get back to the pack to pursue the heart of his rejected mate. Alpha Denzel had a faint smile on his face as he thought about Valerie. He couldn’t wait to see her again. A few days felt like a century.
