Claiming His Luna

Remu’s POV

Vienna’s impatience radiated as she queried, “How much longer will this endure?” Our breakfast was underway in the open air, yet her restlessness grew with each passing day, similar to an explosive time bomb that would blow any moment.

With sharp, piercing glares, she ran her stare towards me and declared, “You were granted a week, and your time is nearing its end.” My attention shifted from the paper in my hands to meet her eyes as I exhaled a plume of smoke from my cigarette.

“Honey, do indulge in your waffles,” I calmly suggested.

Just as she was about to erupt into a shout, my subordinates approached our breakfast table. They bowed and addressed us in unison, “Monsieur, Miss Vienna.”

“Our men dispatched to Dinan have mysteriously vanished. No reports, no communication. These were among our most trusted and loyal men. We suspect that they have met their demise.”

“We’ve also dispatched other men to investigate Lucian Red. He has been spotted walking on the streets of Dinan,” the man added, seizing my full attention.

“Lucian?” Vienna’s countenance brightened as she posed the question, tinged with a glimmer of hope.

“Yes, Miss.”

“Well, it appears they have already been found,” I remarked, casting a glance in my daughter’s direction.

“Dispatch our men to Dinan and retrieve them,” I commanded.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Monsieur, the city is encircled by Red’s forces,” he swiftly responded.

“Then dispatch half our forces and use any means necessary to bring them back,” I exclaimed, my voice slightly raised.

“No!” Vienna interjected.

“I believe you have done enough, Daddy,” she said sweetly.

“I will check there alone,” Vienna rose from her seat as she uttered these words.

“Are you out of your mind?” I knew she possessed a streak of impulsiveness, but I had not anticipated it to be this severe. Going alone would be a suicidal act.

“Lucian won’t harm me,” she announced confidently. I scoffed inwardly, knowing that her persistence would only harm her.

“Miss, it’s excessively dangerous,” my trusted man swiftly interjected. Vienna’s gaze locked onto my henchman, her eyes brimming with a glint of fury, dismissing his opinion instantly.

“Harming me would ignite a war. He isn’t foolish enough to take that risk,” Vienna retorted, and she was not entirely mistaken. Although, one could never be quite sure. She would be fortunate to return unscathed.

“He has already done it,” I remarked, ending the engagement harshly. Protecting and hiding Emilia and Cercei, violating our agreement-Lucian has committed far graver offences than merely declaring war. He has already set his schemes in motion.

However, violence is not the sole solution to every predicament. At least not when it comes to safeguarding my interests. The combined might of the Blood Moon Pack and my own company would cause the world to quake at their feet. I am confident there must be another path to negotiation.

“Okay, do whatever you want,” I turned to face Vienna as I spoke.

“I will grant you three days. After that, my men will be dispatched,” I added. A smile appeared on her face as she embraced me.

“You’re the finest, Dad,” she said, rushing off excitedly to pack her belongings.

“Pardon me, Monsieur, but are you sure about your decision?” one of my men inquired, his concern noticeable. I exhaled a cloud of smoke.

“I suppose we will find out,” I murmured.

With Vienna’s presence, Emilia and Cercei would be momentarily unsettled, their nerves on edge. Knowing my daughter, I am confident she will find her way to Lucian. This would induce tension, prompting Lucian to strengthen their security in Dinan, inadvertently leaving his company and pack vulnerable.

They would never see it coming.

“Do not send any men with her,” I commanded. My subordinates would be preoccupied with damaging Lucian’s pack while he was busy protecting Cercei and her Mom.

With Vienna’s presence, Lucian would assume that I plan to attack Dinan and seize Cercei. However, my true objective lies in seizing his defenceless company, obtaining valuable assets, and bargaining for a partnership.

I must admit, their choice to hide a mere three towns away is nothing short of brilliance. I had mistakenly believed they were hiding in a far-flung corner of the world, an entire ocean separating us.

This isn’t the first time Emilia has outsmarted me. She has always possessed a sharp intellect, a quality that adds to her allure. I have wasted time and resources when I should have focused on our neighbouring towns.

“Prepare all our men; the war is fast approaching,” I declared, flicking away my cigarette as I issued the order.

The pieces are finally falling into place. It won’t be long until Lucian Red meets his demise. All in the name of love.

His desperation to find his mate will be his downfall. Once I seize everything he holds precious, I will also reclaim my daughters.

Killing him would have been easier, but the North wouldn’t accept just anyone as their leader. The Reds hold that title. Thus, we must establish an arrangement that secures his loyalty to our alliance.

Perhaps through the union of our families. The knot of marriage that binds our packs together. And when the time has grown, when I have earned the trust of the North Folk, I will systematically ditch the Reds, one by one.

And once I am done with them and have buried every last Red alive, I will reign forever. Moonstone will ascend as the toughest and most feared pack in the world. No soul would dare to question it. Whispers of my name would ignite tremors of fear.

And a King will always have his Queen. My beloved Emilia, you will rule by my side, radiating beauty as I dictate the course of the world. Our daughters will inherit all that I have built. When the time comes, they will perform a formal conquest to determine who will rule after me and who will occupy my throne.

Many have called me an excessively ambitious Alpha, but they fail to grasp the simplicity of my plan. All it requires is for Lucian to buckle under the weight of his responsibilities. The company and his pack, or his beloved Cercei.

It won’t be long until that moment arrives, and when it does, I will ensure I am there to witness it, to intensify his misery.
