A Gold Alpha For A Silver Alpha
Chapter 12

Rae POV

You saved him.

I'm not startled to hear Logan's voice behind me, I knew he was looking for me since I left Jason's house.

-He had a broken rib and a damaged liver, I just helped him heal faster than usual.

I replied nonchalantly.

1 don't talk about it and you know it.

Of course I knew, but I wasn’t going to admit it out loud, not for now at least.

“Why?

He continued to press me, but I didn't even turn in his direction, the truth was that I was looking for the answer to that question too.

I Rae, had never intervened before, I had never put my warriors in a fight that was not ours to fight, let alone heal people outside our pack.

But this time I did it, I risked the lives of others because my heart commanded it.

Because I didn’t want HIM to get hurt.

“You don’t want to talk about it.

“What made you come to that conclusion?

I heard his growl before he arrived.

-Don't take your grumpiness out on me, it's not my fault that you lock up your heart and get into trouble every time it comes out because of your carelessness.

Now it was my turn to growl.

-And you remember that apart from being your friend I'm your Alpha, and the one who came looking for me was you. You're right about that Alpha, but let me ask you this again, why am I helping you?

Silence, I refused to answer something so personal and in my opinion banal.

We've seen inter-species wars, mandas destroying each other, families falling apart, but you've never interfered if it was our problem, why was it different this time?

“You know why it was.

-Of course I know, I just want to make sure you're not lying to yourself.

Right.

I turned suddenly to face him, my eyes connected with his and I could see a little bit of regret in them, but it was something so tiny that I didn't take it seriously.

“I saved him because he's not just anyone, because I would give my Life for his, because Jason is MY mate and I won't let anyone hurt him.

Logan looked at me with pursed lips before answering.

-Don’t you think it's too selfish that you can protect him but he can’t protect you?

He can't protect me, no one can, you've seen for yourself what a couple of rumors have caused, they came, attacked the for thinking they knew me.

-And now they know you're not dead.

I let out a long sigh.

“What if I claim him as a kill, by order of power he would be the one to leave his pack to join mine, and I can't do that to him, they've suffered too much already, plus all the risk that entails, he'll be a prime target for the vampires.

I paused to catch my breath.

Don't you understand, I will destroy her life, I will split her up and own her, for me she will never have a stable place to call home, she wil lose her friends, and why, for an Alpha that only lives on by the will of the goddess Selene, a life that on loan and can be reclaimed at any second.

-1 don't think our goddess would be so cruel as to take it all away from you again.

“1 didn't think she was capable of giving me a second mate, and look at him, he's in a bed, wounded, because of a vampir who was only here looking for information from me.

-By the goddess Rae, many would be extremely grateful for the blessing of having another chance to find love, why can't you?

“It's not a blessing for me, there's nothing worse than having the person you love by your side and not being able to be with them.

Not even Logan was able to give me a reply to that.

History must not repeat itself.

-It won't.

“How can you be so sure of that?

-Because I will see to it that it does.

I replied in a scathing tone.

You'll regret it when he doesn't choose you in the end.

I'll never regret it as long as I'm alive, that's all 1 want.

“What if he wants a life with you?

I fell silent, I felt Logan walk away, leaving me alone with my demons.

Well, he's a fool then...

I spoke to the nothingness, I raised my face and looked at the moon that was rising above us. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“This time it will be different, over my dead body you will take him away again.

He will come for you Rae.

I know Luna.

He'll do anything to hurt you, even hurt him.

And what do you suggest, wolf?

Tell him the truth.

No.

But...

NO.

PLEASE, it hurts so much...

I know, believe me, but it's for the best, the last time we love, or well, that I love....

No one like me to feel your pain, as well as your need for me to hold you, accept it, you want it, that life you aspired to before everything, a pampering husband, unruly children, loyal friends....

That was many years ago now, I don’t remember that girl.

Maybe your mind doesn't, but your heart says otherwise.

-1 know perfectly well who I am Luna, Rae McKensie, Alpha of the Silver Moon pack, servant of the goddess Selene, I have no parents, they died too many hundreds ago, I have no home, it was reduced to ashes many decades ago, I have no mat it was killed just like my heart, I am what the world transformed me into, what my goddess needs before she takes me to her once more, just that and nothing more.

But for the first time in a long time, those words sound false as they leave my lips, as if they are new and so consumed ar in my thoughts that I don't notice red eyes in the darkness, listening, learning, enjoying.

I purse my lips and turn quickly in the direction of the intruder, but he is gone, and I could give chase, but I let him flee, with valuable information.

After all, if it's war they're looking for?

War is what they will find.

I turn and walk in the direction of my pack, making a mental connection with Logan.

Logan, gather the warriors and their captains.

Yes Alpha, for what reason?

-War.

He doesn't ask questions, but I feel his tension through the link and it makes me smile coldly.

Let's see who's stronger Maurice, this is my last confrontation with you.

Fangs erupt from my mouth and my claws spread across my hand.

The howl I let out once transformed causes the earth to tremble and even the most fearsome creatures to hide, at the cal of one demon rising against another.
