His Reluctant Luna

Olivia -

I woke up screaming from the nightmare I just had.

"Olivia! Are you alright?" Zaiden was holding my shaking body.noveldrama

"I saw her...... I saw Madam Luna, she was in a cave, not a lab. Take me to the Alpha, please." I pleaded. The vision was so vivid. It was almost like I was there.

"Sure, get dressed." He threw me a pair of a tracksuit.

It was late night or early morning. Whatever one might refer to 3 am when we reached the Alpha's office. The hustle and bustle of betas and the trackers ascertained the fact that nobody had slept for hours. Alpha was trying everything possible to trace Alice. The row of SUVS in the driveway ensured that they were either going or returning from a raid.

"I must talk to the Alpha now! " I pleaded to the guard standing at the door.

"Alpha is busy in a meeting, you can't see him now." He replied gruffly.

"I must see him, I had a vision. I saw Madam Luna."

Before the guard could react. The door burst open.

"You had a vision of Alice? What did you see?" A very haggard looking Lucian asked as he stood by the broken door which hung funnily on its hinges.

"I saw her in a cave, it was underground. She was with them." I replied fearfully. "What's going on?" a voice said.

Two more men popped out from the, and I instantly knew they were also Alphas.

"Olivia is as an oracle. She saw Alice in her vision." Lucian explained.

"Really?" The one with the redhead said.

"Then let's get her inside, don't scare the girl."

"Can Zaiden come too?" I asked.

He nodded.

Sitting in the confines of his large office, I felt overwhelmed. The plush sofa seemed to swallow me when I sank into it.

"Now think calmly and tell us everything." The redhead said. He seemed to be the only one in control. Alpha Lucian and the other man who was Alice's brother were on the edge. Their wolves were barely in control. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.

"Madam Luna was walking through a tunnel. It was underground. Somehow I just know it was underground. Then she was in a lab, with him... Stuart and another man who had talked to him earlier. They were talking about some experiment." "Where was the place?" He asked.

"I don't know...."

He sighed, "anything else? Did Alice say something?"

I closed my eyes again and tried to focus.

"Yes, she said this is where she had her honeymoon."

"What!" Alpha Lucian was suddenly in front of me.

"She said honeymoon? Are you sure?"

"Yes," I replied, albeit fearfully.

"Damm !" He whispered and ran his hand through his messed-up dark hair. "Was she?... Was she?" He couldn't bring himself to ask the question.

"She wasn't hurt, Alpha. She seemed fine." I assured him. The pain in his eyes was unbearable. I was unable to imagine the ordeal he was going through. "Thank you" he whispered.

"What does it mean, Lucian?" Madam's brother asked.

"She is in the black stone pack land."

"But that area is under you."

"Yes, that's why we didn't bother to comb through it, as the pack had already moved here."

"Alpha that land is mountainous with several caves and tunnels. We never explored them much. Assuming they would be empty." Damon said.

I looked at the proceedings with awe.

"That place is spread in acres, how are we going to search for an underground setup without alerting them?" Rick said.

"Collect all the former black stone pack members. Interrogate them, you can use force if required. They have been living there for decades, they must know something." Lucian commanded.

Mayhem descended in the packhouse as former black stone betas were rounded up. Many others ran towards the houses occupied by black stone pack families. Katherine grabbed my hand and pulled me away from the Alpha's office. Zaiden stayed back to help in the raid.

"You have done your work, Olivia, thank you." Her eyes were moist.

"She will be back, right?" I asked, I needed assurance.

"Yes, Lucian will move heaven and hell to find her."

Lucian -

The thought that Alice was in the captivity of those monsters was driving me crazy. Getting no headway was worsening it. I couldn't connect with Alice, but I could sense she was still alive....hurt but alive.

"Alpha, there is this girl, she says she knows where Madam might have been kept."

"Send her in."

A shivering teenage girl no older than 15 entered my office.

"What's your name?"

"Bri Rossi," she replied.

She was so scared. I was afraid she might faint. So, I offered her a seat.

"You can talk whenever you feel comfortable," I said.

She seemed to relax and spoke.

"Jordan, Alpha's brother, had a

secret tunnel in the northern caves. I was once playing with my friend Penny. He asked us to check out his secret hideaway. I refused because mama warned me not to talkto men. But Penny didn't listen, and she went with him. I was curious, so I followed them. I know where he took her."

"Did you go inside?"

"No, I was too scared."

"What happened to Penny?"

"No one saw her again." She replied softly.

There was a grim silence as her words sank in.

"Bri, you have been very brave, we are going to rescue Madam Luna, I want you

to come along and show me the way to that place. Your mother won't be angry

with you, don't worry. Will you help me?"

Her eyes widened.

"I can be part of the raid team?" She asked eagerly.

"Not exactly, you don't need to fight, and you'll be safe."

She suddenly jumped off the sofa.

"Yes yes! I would help. Madam Luna has been very nice to us. I will do anything to

help you out."

Despite the situation, I couldn't help smiling.

"Good," I called for Damon, who looked befuddled when I mentioned that the little

girl would accompany us.

"Keep her surrounded by a few guards. We are leaving now."

"Yes, Alpha." He replied.

*******************

Alice

I watched amused as Stuart and Jordan argued over my pregnancy. Maybe if I

edged them on, they might kill each other.

"Lucian's baby would make our bond even stronger, do you know that?" I said, folding my hands over my belly.

"Did you hear her? Get rid of it now!" Jordan yelled.

"I will, but not right at this moment. I don't need the baby. I just require the fetus.

She is just 5 weeks pregnant right. Give me a few months, then we'll both get what we want." Stuart replied.

I growled in anger.

"I will kill you before you even think of touching my baby."

Stuart smirked.

"I love the maternity streak. Put her in the cell with that human."

"No!" My screams were useless as I was forced and locked inside the cell with

Max. I closed my eyes and shuddered about his evil plan.

I might have dozed off again. Because I woke up a little while later. I didn't know

what time it was. Max was up as well, and he was mumbling incoherently.

I sat up and noticed that there was some food on the floor of the cell. Some scrambled eggs and a couple of pieces of bacon. My stomach growled, but I forced Max to have some before wolfing it down myself.

"Good girl. Eat up because soon you'll need your strength," Stuart said mockingly while sitting at a nearby table. I suddenly felt nauseous and held my stomach. After I was done eating. Stuart walked up to my cell and quickly unlocked it. He walked inside the cell and I could feel that my wolf was at the surface. "Are you going to come quietly with me, Madam Luna?"

I didn't say a word but stood up and followed him out of the cell. He quickly got behind me, placing my hands behind my back. His grip was very rough and tight on my wrists. I ignored the tinge of pain and walked where he led. Two of his minions caught Max and dragged him out.

"Where are you taking me ?"

"We can't stay here for long, your mate would eventually find us, so we move

before he spots us. I am always one step ahead of him." Stuart floated.

"Aren't you afraid I might contact him through the link ?"

"Nah! He is still trying to figure out where you are. I have my spies." He smirked.

I made a mental note to find those

spies when returned. Once outside, I could see that the sun had set and bright moonlight illuminated everything. We walked through the forest for like 10 minutes when I heard an unmistakable voice in my head.

'Alice,' I stiffened for a second, then regained my composure.

'Lucian, thanks, God you are here.'

'Alice, I love you, babe. Now listen cautiously. When I say Run, just run !'
