Chapter 132 - He Is Unharmed

[Patrick’s P.O.V.]

When I was sure that Luna had completely cut off all ties with the pack, we quickly jumped into the car and rushed back.

If Luna had cut off all ties with the pack, then she would have also cut off her connection with Alpha. When I saw the mess at the border gate, I knew that she must have been in great pain.

Luna was a Werewolf of Chaos, stronger than us in every way. If she had suffered to this extent just from breaking off her bond with Alpha, I couldn’t imagine how much more painful it would have been for Alpha. Even though he wasn’t in his right mind right now, their bond was real. I told Ad to contact Alpha Leon to help check on Alpha.

But when we did, we were confused. Uncle Leon and Aunt Taylor were sad but Alpha seemed fine.

“Alpha, are you okay?” asked I to him, but he just looked at me as if nothing was wrong. He even smiled.

“I’m fine. In fact, I’m more than fine. How could I not be now that that woman is gone?”

“The border gate is in a mess, which meant that Luna was in a lot of pain before she left, so I was worried that you would also…”

“Oh, yes, I did feel some heartache, but I’m an Alpha. I have to be strong. This is God’s will. Also, you don’t have to call her Luna anymore.”

“She cut off her connection with you too?”

“I think so, Patrick. It’s for the best.”

I didn’t say anything more because Alpha seemed fine, which I found a little strange.

If the connection between them was as important as we had been told, how could Luna be so heartbroken but Alpha still be fine? Could Luna really have been the bad omen Alpha claimed she was? Was this part of the moon goddess’s plan all along?

“Now please release me from house arrest. She has already left on her own because she knows that I am right! Let me go. The pack needs me to manage it!” I heard Alpha say to Uncle Leon.

“Edward, I am very disappointed in you. Your mate has just left you and the pack has just lost their Luna but you remain completely indifferent.” Uncle Leon’s eyes were filled with sadness.

“That’s because we had been bewitched by her! How could you still feel sad about this? Am I the only one here who’s clear-minded? How many times must I repeat myself?”

“How could she have bewitched us? She’s just a child who had lost her parents and her pack. She has already suffered a lot by the time you found her in New Crescent Pack!”

“Then wouldn’t it make even more sense for her to bewitch us? How could my mate be some lowly slave of another pack? The moon goddess had clearly realized that her arrangement had been wrong. How dare a lowly pheasant dream to soar in the sky like a phoenix?”

“I would never have thought that you of all people would think of your mate in that way!” Uncle Leon roared at him and I saw Jane’s jaw tighten.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Everything is settled now. Let go of your prejudice against me. I will choose a new Luna for the pack at the right time.” Alpha sat on the sofa, crossed his legs on the coffee table, and looked at all of us.

“The new Luna?”

I couldn’t believe my ears. Luna had just left and Alpha was talking about marrying another?

“It seems that you already have someone in mind.” Alpha Leon sneered.

“You can say that.”

“Who is she?”

“You don’t need to know yet. But when the time comes I hope you will all be a bit more cheerful than you look now.”

“Alpha, how dare you betray Luna!” Jane was not satisfied as she shouted at him with clenched fists.

“Look, she left me first, okay? Ad, control your woman. How could you allow her to have such courage to yell at me like that?”

In the end, Alpha was no longer under house arrest and threatened to report Alpha Leon to the Council of Elders if the latter dared to do that to him again, his reason being that his father had illegally detained him.

I didn’t regret the brevity of my time as the acting Alpha. I had once told and always believed that I would serve Alpha Edward for the rest of my life. But it was undeniable that I still felt sad about this whole situation.

We had just lost the best Luna and the best Alpha we ever had.
