1 Chapter 1

"You need to marry Alpha Dethan!"

My father in front of me stood from sitting on the throne-like chair, pointing his finger at me, while he had an angry face. His eyes turned red as his inner wolf had been furious at me, too. Marrying an Alpha from the other pack just because he does not want me to be paired with anyone, even if it was not my mate. It is not okay.

Even if my body was shaking in nervousness, my knees and hands were trembling, my heart had been beating faster, like I was running in the woods. I always tell myself that I should not accept the decisions made by my father, for I am the owner of myself, thus, I am the one who needs to decide whether to marry him. This was ridiculous and was not acceptable to me.

My inner wolf was shouting for freedom. Letting me choose the werewolf that I fell in love with or to be mated with them.

I face father. This was the right time to break the stigma he had made. "I would not marry him! Never in my entire life—"

Before I could continue what I wanted to tell, my father was slapping me in the face, pertaining he did not like the way I respond to him. Maybe because it sounds rude.

Then, I was holding my face on the right side where his hand landed. He also lets me face to face him while I am crying, feeling the pain of what he did.

Knowing he was an Alpha in our pack and I was the Luna, his daughter, I felt his hand was like steel. It was hard and made me feel the pain would last for a long time before it fades away.

"Father..." I cried when I tell him, seeing his face near me.

He smiled. I know it was an evil smile he made just to let me know he was angry with me.

"The wedding between you and Alpha Dethan will happen according to the plan. Even if you would not agree, then you do not have a choice. You are my daughter and you should abide by what I am telling you! You got that?!"

His eyes widened. My ears almost could not hear any more, for he shouted near me. If I would not nod to him, I know he will slap me or worst, hurt me, even if I was his daughter. He was so stupid.

I forcedly nod at him. I got no choice.

"If that nod is a yes, then tell it to me you gonna marry him."

"I will marry Alpha Dethan. As you wished me to do Alpha," I said and still silently cry, tears continues to fall into my eyes. "No matter what happens, even if I am just force."

"Good. The wedding will happen in the following days. Got it?"

I did not reply and just stare at my father.

"Did you get it?!" He shouted at me.

"I-I get it."

"Good. Go back to your room and do nothing wrong before I forget you are my daughter and hurt you."

I nodded again and was walking back to my room. In a few minutes, I reached my room, and I did not still accept my fate to marry an abusive Alpha. They are perfect for my father. Pretty stupid.

I sat at the side of my bed, watching the trees at my window, seeing lots of birds flying above, creating a relaxation sound that can heal the sadness I have felt. Because of what my father had decided, it feels like I need to escape before the wedding was about to happen. My inner wolf had been telling me to do it than to be locked with Dethan and could no longer do the escape plan I have made.

I let the hours pass until it reaches the night. I can see the moon above together with the stars. It was twinkling. Some howl of the wolf is what also I can hear in the middle of the woods, pertaining they are aware the full moon. Alphas are going to be productive on this day. They are hyperactive and can be the strongest among all.

I sighed and was holding the side of the balcony as I prepared to jump and run faster into the woods. I know there are lots of guards that my father was also hiring that can protect me from going anywhere. But this time, I need to do not let anybody stop what I am about to do.

In the minutes of standing, I jumped and landed in the land. My hands had been touching the land as I was bending, my butt was up and my face almost touch the ground as I was unbalanced, get recovered fast and stood.

"What do you think you are doing, Luna Mirabella?"

The voice of the guard is what I have heard at my back. As I stood, facing the woods and about to run in that direction just to avoid that damn wedding and to let myself away from my Alpha Father.

I did not panic. Instead, I was looking at him to see the guards. All I thought was he was just alone, but I was wrong, for there are three of them standing who are about to be near me and catch me, letting me go back from the mansion.

"To run away from here, I guess?" I asked them.

They shook their head and smile at me, "You can't run away from here," the senior guard said and is now walking towards me.

This time, I face the forest and run as fast as I can for them not to catch me. I used my very own strength as a Luna and through the help of my inner wolf; I ran fast. Even if the guards shouted at me to stop, still I did not. The woods in front of me were dark and was using my wolf's eyes to see the steps I was running. Though I did not know if I was running towards the east where the enemies can be located, still I continue to run.

"Got you!" shouted the guard as he hold my shoulder, even the shirt that I was wearing. I face him and was biting his hand for me to continue to escape.

"Let me have my freedom, bitches!" I shouted.

There was blood at my hand for what I have done to the guards and hear the shout from the guard for the felt pain from what I did. I face again and saw one guard was blocking the way, so it forced me to change my direction and continue to run at the side.

"Just follow your Father! It was too simple to marry an Alpha even if you do not love him!"

"I do not care what you are telling me, idiot!"

I was catching my breathing, running towards the direction I believed was the freedom I can be.

"You are going to the enemy's territory! Please go back!"

"I do not care!"

I know the guards are telling me just for me to be scared, but I do not want to be. I am a different Luna, and believing what they have told me was just annoying and stupid.

As I continue to run, I was seeing lights and an enormous mansion, designed aesthetically and have a guard at the gate. It was like what the guards were telling me was the truth and I was not listening, for I was hard-headed. I was near them and they let me stop. One guard suddenly hold my hand while the others were scanning me like he have a strong sense that I was coming from the pack where they considered as an enemy. Therefore, they might kill me or worst, imprisoned me and work as a slave in their pack.

"It was against the written rule for you to be here, the daughter of an Alpha. It looks like they sent you to create chaos in our pack, do you?" Asked the guard, who scanned me.

I did not reply. I stared at my back and saw that the guards were running towards me. As I stare back at them, they are now gripping me. Then a guy whom I think was the same age as me was standing in front of me, while four guards are standing at his side. Probably, he was the Alpha of Odeta.

"What a sudden visit from the Luna of Abugon. An enemy who steps in my territory shall pay and be a slave of mine. Imprisoned her!" shouted the Alpha with a furious stare at me.

"Wait, help me. Do not imprison me! My father wants me to marry Alpha Dethan, but I do not want to. That is why I am running away and was bringing my feet here!" I explained and almost cried out.

He stared at me. "I do not care with you damn story! Tie her and let her taste what it was like being a prisoner! Your father will probably cry seeing you here in my pack!"
