The Abused Luna's Comeback Novel - Chapter 109
Chapter 109 Luna in a Frenzy
One week later.
(Patrick’s P.O.V.)
A week had passed but it felt like a year. We had already spent a lot of time and energy looking for Alpha, but it was as if he had vanished into thin air. We even reported the missing persons case to the city police. I provided them with Alpha’s human identity information and photos, but I had asked for them to keep these strictly confidential since any leaks would tie back to our company and start to create a lot of problems.
In the case of our pack, we had informed and maintained with everyone that Alpha had simply gone for an extended business trip abroad. I had also given the orders that if the people involved in the search leaked anything, they would be severely punished. But to be honest, I didn’t know how long we could keep all of these up.
What surprised and shocked me most was Luna. She was the one who was most affected by Alpha’s disappearance and it was evident at the beginning. But right after that, she was able to pull herself together. Seeing our Luna so resilient, we also bucked up and assisted her in running the pack. We knew she was doing everything she could. She was being so strong and brave, and she was not even nineteen years old yet.
Luna had not slacked off in her training with Alonso either. In fact, she had asked him to increase the intensity of her training. I would train with them in my free time by helping them prepare any materials or venues they needed. Jane helped out too. Superficially, she might be the mate of the pack’s Gamma, but everyone knew she was the best she-wolf warrior in the pack.
I had seen Luna cry a few times after training, and I knew that it was because of Alpha. His disappearance and Luna’s current state made me hate myself even more. I had never more powerless in my life.
I hadn’t been able to leave to see Diana either and the matter of our apartment had been put on hold. Instead, Diana would come over whenever she didn’t have class.
I felt a little guilty about her having to make the trip all the way over to the pack because it wasn’t a short trip. But she didn’t complain and was willing to spend more than half of her time with Luna, telling her funny stories from school with the hopes of making her feel better.
Recently, Alonso had been training Luna in wielding weapons or tools. During these sessions, I made it a point to stick around to make sure Luna didn’t hurt herself during training. Today, it was Charlotte’s turn to be trained and Alonso surprisingly used himself as a target for the first time as he allowed the unique she-wolf to chase after him and knock him down.
Charlotte obliged, chasing down Alonso’s wolf, Hugh, trying to attack him. Their speed and moves were overwhelmingly dazzling and the memory of meeting Alonso for the first time popped into my head. Now that I thought about it, I was sure that Alonso could have easily killed me off at the beach with a flick of his finger. Me being stronger and more agile than ordinary werewolves would have made no difference.
Today’s training started to look a little depressing. Every time Charlotte attacked Hugh, her accuracy seemed to be a little off so the most she had been able to do was graze Hugh’s fur. She had yet to land a proper hit on him. Their training went on for awhile until Luna suddenly transformed into human form.
“I can’t do it anymore!” She knelt and bent over on the ground, feeling extremely frustrated.
“Get up. It’s not over.” Alonso also transformed back into his human form.
“Didn’t you hear me? I already said that I can’t do it!” Luna raised her head to look at Alonso. There was frustration in her eyes, but more than that, there was despair.
“Alonso, Luna is pregnant!” I reminded her from the side, hoping that he would be more lenient towards her now.
“Pregnant? That’s just an excuse for her incompetence. Get up and continue your training!”
“Do you think I wanted to be the Werewolf of Chaos?! I can’t believe I am suffering because of an identity I didn’t choose.” I watched as Luna started to growl at Alonso. I had never seen her so furious. Then, I started to realize that the air around me was heating up. I speculated that this was coming from Luna since she wasn’t standing that far from me.
Soon, I saw some of the trees, meadows, and even training equipment around us being hit by purplish-red flames. They started to burn and were reduced to ashes almost instantly. I had never seen such powerful and dense fireballs. They were like black holes that devoured anything in their paths. I had to run behind a huge rock to avoid being hit by one.
“Rose! Enough!” I heard Alonso roar – I had never heard him speak in such a voice. It was quite intimidating as my ears started to ring. Even though the fireballs starting to surround him, he remained standing in his position, not moving an inch. I saw Luna pause but the energy in the air did not seem to subside.
Then, an even more frightening scene occurred. I saw Alonso’s eyes turn scarlet red and he jumped into the air. He used some unknown skill to stop Luna’s fireballs from hitting everything as he diverged their flight paths back towards her.
“Luna! Be careful!” I threw my own safety out the window as I rushed over to defend Luna as soon as I could. I pushed Luna out of the way and expected the fireballs to hit me. But they seemed to have eyes as they curved and followed Luna. Just when I thought we were both going to die, the fireballs disappeared.
“Kneel!” Alonso immediately commanded. Luna looked scared and obliged. I knelt too, scared. What was he going to do to us?
