Alpha Xander: His Contracted Luna

Manny was gone for only a minute. He lifted her dead body out the car with tears flowing down his eyes. He looked back into the car and gently took her head and placed it next to the carcass. His senses heightened, tension running high he ran and jumped over the gates. He landed on his feet and looked leftwards of the road with green eyes. He got Shirley’s scent off the person.

Those Goddamn Rogues.

Outside the manor, a slim figure walked careful steps towards Manny. Manny didn’t mind if a threat was posed he ran and growled to the person. The face appeared with scarlet long hair. He lurched at her face, but she dodged the attack.

“Faye?” his fingernails slowly receded. “Some rogues attacked and-”

“Stop, stop, stop,” She sighed. “You didn’t see any rogues, it was me.”

She was more confident and wanted to hurt. Hurt something. Manny was an easy pick. She came to the pack house thinking of Xander’s words, ‘…keep to your word.’ Her words meant nothing, She wasn’t about to bleed in the woods all for the sake of trying to hurt Catherine. She would put up a fight but Xander would come out the victor.

She had just walked into the courtyard when she saw Manny and Shirley sneaking out on the fields. Witches-she despised so much. She had seen Shirley with the event planning crew-the pack never minded the coven showing up but Faye always gave them nasty looks.

She took her frustration on the little couple. They were walking really slow, which gave her time to open the gate slightly to creak, obviously to distract Manny.

He went ahead to check it out. Faye got in the driver’s seat. Shirley was colored and confused. “What are you-”

The poor girl couldn’t cast a spell to save her life. Faye had swung a stainless steel zip over Shirley’s head. She reached for the door to unlock. With the intense choking and pressure, her screams wouldn’t be heard just the faintest gasp.

Faye squeezed and pulled tightly. Her strength made the zip line cut through with a clean slit. Shirley’s blood splattered on Faye’s hair. She had severed the witch’s head and left it tiling to the back.

She was stealthy as she slid out of the car. Manny turned his back and walked back to his car to check on his girl. He had thought to frighten Shirley with a light tap on her side of the glass. He got a real scare when he found her detached head.

“How could you do this? He shrieked

“Way to show respect for your Luna,” she snarled.

“Damn you and damn your freaking title!” he yelled. He charged at her with his claws.

She blocked his hands and kicked him in the torso. Who was he kidding? To take on Faye he would be broken and left for dead.

He was willed but enough to lay a scratch on Faye. The least he did was a missed kick that brushed her hair. He wasn’t backing down after she clawed deep into his back and severely slashed to his sides.

He came at her again. She kicked him back to the ground, “You will learn to stay down where you belong Beta.”

He crawls up slowly, “You bitch-”

She stomps her foot on his head against the cold concrete, “Learn the hard way.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

He’s bruised and bloodied. His face barely had smooth skin anymore. Faye took out her anger on one of Xander’s most trusted.

Lights flashed at the gates. A wolf was on night duty. Quick, Faye left Manny on the ground close to his last breath.

“I’m sorry Shirley,” Manny wheezed. The spot he laid was painted red with his blood.

“Manny!” he ran to his side.

“Eric,” Manny moaned.

“What the hell? Did the rogues get to-”

Manny passed out cold. Eric lifts him carefully from the ground and helps him into the Manor.

The alarm blared. The wolves were put that night. They were dispatched all over the area in search of rogues to hunt down. Jamal and Sandra were with Manny in the recovery room. His healing was slow for the young beta he was.

They noticed the Alpha and Luna were missing for an awful long time. The pack was not bothered by their absence at first, seeming they should have a well-spent alone time on their grand night. Many new spots by the water banks but the lakes were placid and quiet.

The pack resorted to sending a two-man search party for their Alpha and Luna. Faye never showed her face. Knowing fully well Manny won’t say a word she just kept away from the others.

A CONDO DEEP IN THE WOODS

“Wh-where am I?” She opened her eyes to a new light. It was bright where the bellflowers bloomed. Her legs were clean down to her feet. She was amused by his effort but didn’t want to even take a look at him. Although he was out on the porch staring at the trees, he spoke as if she was near him, “Last night was… It was not what I wanted to happen.”

She walked barefoot in the condo. Fruits and other treats were available for her pleasure. She had not taken a look at what she was wearing-a white courtelle gown just above her ankles. Xander walked in on her, “Catherine, I want us to talk.”

She shrugged him off. He fluttered his arms and pulled her back, “So you don’t want to talk to me now is that it” he scoffed. Her mouth set a hard line, and she raised her nose in the air, “You say WANT like everyone just has to do it because you said so,” she grunted. “I am not one of your siblings or whatever. You are not special to me.”

“Special? You think I give a shit about being special to you,” he sneered.

She pulled out her hand from him. And looked away.

“I am not doing this with you,” she said sternly. “Just make your end of the deal, I did my part.”

He walks up to her front demanding she listens to him.

“I’ll admit, Last night was crazy,” he held up his arm to keep her from walking away. “Okay, okay… I’ll fulfill my promise.”

“Again, and again, I’ll tell you it doesn’t matter how many times you try,” She glared at him. “Your words mean nothing to me, Xander Marion.”

“Of course it does,” he snapped. “I am willing to give you a new start, yet you prove stubborn and call me arrogant and selfish.”

She thrashed the bowl of fruits on the table, “I don’t want to be in your life,” she wailed. “The last thing I want is to be a werewolf.”

She scaled her hands through her hair in frustration, “-yes my life sucks. And yes I may not be as valuable as you see yourself. I will appreciate it if you let me go back in peace and with my needs met… just as the contract stated.”

Xander sighed and walked her out of the condo. He had a car waiting outside-a taxi just like in her familiar bustling streets of New York City.

She got in the taxi. Xander kept his hands behind him and stood with a bold face watching the car drive away. She didn’t look back at him. She wanted to get her normal life, normal problems, and normal people.
