THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

RALPH’S POV

Swears!

If you were to ask me, I wouldn’t know how I got to this level in this battle.

It all started with a conversation with Mr. Callan, where he told me the elemental battle was coming up.

I did not believe him at first, but then, that same night, I had a terrifying dream about the battle and that’s when I believed everything he had told me.

Ahh!

How excited I was. Just the thought of winning this battle gave me the chills and I made my mind to go for it and give it my best shot. At the back of my mind, I knew I wouldn’t be able to do that on my own.

Alpha Hardin’s pack is ten times more powerful than mine and I knew going to fight him on my own was going to be nothing but a suicide mission, so I decided to propose a merge with Alpha Lance. As you all know, he was hesitant to do so at first, but he later on concurred and we joined forces.

So far, it has been successful and the success we’ve had didn’t come easy.

We have planned and we have failed, attacked and gotten defeated, but through it all, we remained resilient.

We still are.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

We just got rid of the only thing that could have jeopardized things for us and right now, we are back to the top!

We have the staff of edification and all that needs to be done is win the final battle and after that, the powers will be released.

Alpha Lance must think I’m dumb because I let him keep it, but I’m not!

One thing for sure is that there is going to be a fight after this. A big fight because I’m not going to let him get those powers.

He might be my ally, but he is not my friend.

I very well know he has other plans for me. I can feel it.

I also have plans for him. I just want this war to be over and I’m going to launch at him with so much energy that he won’t believe.

I am going to be the next Paramount Alpha and no one can stop me.

Anyone who steps in my way is going to be eliminated!

I don’t care who it is.

“A penny for your thoughts, Alpha Ralph” A familiar voice speaks from behind and when I turn to look, I see Mr. Callan walking into my office and I smile.

I have grown to like this man very much.

He has been a father figure to me ever since we met. I’m already very fun of him and I always want him by my side.

Once this war is over and I become Paramount Alpha. I’m going to make sure he has a very powerful title in this pack.

I wouldn’t have gotten to this level if I didn’t have him by my side.

“Good morning, Mr. Callan”

“Good morning to you too. How was your night”

“It was peaceful, and yours?”

“Well…” Exhales “It was okay, but I had something buzzing on my mind all night” He says in an almost frustrated tone and that catches my attention. I turn around to face him completely.

“And what could that be, if I may ask?”

“Well, I kept thinking about the staff of edification that is in Alpha Lance’s possession.”

“Ah… I see. So, what about it?”

“I think it’s time you asked for it” He announces and I shoot him a confused glances.

“Hmmm?”

“Yeah. He has been keeping it for a while now. It was about time you had it in your possession too” He explains with all seriousness and I smile as I walk closer to him.

If there is one thing I know for sure, it is the fact that he genuinely wants me to win this battle, to have those powers, to become the next Paramount Alpha, that is why he is asking me to do this.

“Mr. Callan, I understand where you are coming from. Look, I want that as well. God! No one wants to have that staff in their possession like I do, but I think right now is still to early for that. Alpha Lance might retaliate and that will not be too good for us. Remember we still need him”

“I know and trust he is only going to retaliate if we ask him in a manner that seems like a threat. Just have a cool conversation with him and request for the staff. Any reasonable man with give it to you.”

“On the contrary, I think that any reasonable man will see this as a threat. I know Alpha Lance all too well. He will immediately understand that I have other motives. We can’t risk him knowing that and withdrawing from this battle.”

“He won’t, the last think Alpha Lance would do is withdraw from this battle, I can swear on my life that he won’t”

” I really don’t want to stir up any suspicion from him”

“Ralph, you are like a son to me and you very well Know that I will never mislead you. Now, I’m not only asking you to request for the staff because I want you to keep it, there is more”

“There is?’

“Yes, son. You see, we both know that Alpha Lance normally has plans to get those powers for himself. However, we are not sure so sure about that. That is just a speculation. I want you to request for this staff so that from his reaction, we will know what to expect. Later on. If he gives it peacefully, we will know how to deal with him when the time comes and if he retaliates, we will as well know how to deal with him. This is like a test. It is always very important to know to what height your enemy is ready to get just so he can bring you down”

“Lance and I are not enemies… yet”

“But you two will eventually be. Son, I advice you to go and demand for that staff. You both fought for it and you deserve to keep it too. It is your right to have it too!” He states firmly and I just stare blankly in the air.

In a way, he has a point.

In a way I’m curious to see how he is going to react when I demand for the staff.

And also, I badly want the staff for myself, I want to keep it. So, I’m going to go ask for it and if he denies to give it, may the moon goddess help our souls.

“You are right. I’m going to go ask for it. It’s only right that I have it too.”

“I’m glad you finally see reasons with me. So when do you leave?”

“Right now!” I say as I walk out of the office.

Only the moon goddess knows what is going to happen after this.

I arrive at the East End Pack at exactly twelve noon and the guards and servants welcome me as usual.

As I take my seat in the living room, all I can think of is how I’m going to go about asking for the staff.

I came with a few more soldier than usual just in case there is an uproar. For some very odd reason, my heart is hammering against my chest right now.

“Alpha Lance will be joining you shortly” the servant who just served me announces and I nod my head without uttering a single word. All I want right now is to make my damn request and get over and done with this!

I take up the glass from the table which contains the win and take a big sip as I let a heavy sigh of exasperation.

This is nerve wrecking!

“Alpha Ralph” Alpha Lance’s familiar voice calls and I raise my head up. I see him descending the staircase with a huge smile plastered on his face. I can only imagine how that smile is going to disappear when I say what I am about to say.

Oh goody!

“Was a pleasant surprise” He coos on as he walks over to me. I stretch my hands forward for a handshake and he happily takes it.

“Nice to see you too Alpha Lance”

“I hope all is well”

“All is well”

“So, was there another revelation?”

“Ummm… not really. I just came to ask for something” I say as we both sit down.

“And what could that be?”

“Well, I understand that we have been through thick and thin in this battle. We have fought side by side and it has been a blast. We are just one step away from winning this war and as it is now I am very excited!”

“Me too Alpha Ralph. You see, everyday I thank my stars for the fact that I finally accepted to join forces with you in fighting this war. I would never have gotten this far without you. We really do make a great team”

“The feeling is mutual. Actually, I came to ask for something” I say looking at him straight in the eye. They are searching and I can see that he is anxious to hear what I have to say.

“Which is?”

“The staff of edification” I blurt out and his eyes open wide in shock.

He blinks them a few times and swallows dryly as gives me an intense look.

There is a long moment of silence.

I seriously want to hear what he has to say.

“The staff of edification?” He asks looking up at me and I nod my head.

“Yes, the staff of edification”

“And why do you want it, if I may ask?”

“Well, it has been with you ever since we stole it from the Wall Street Pack, I just thought it was about time I kept it too”

“But, we planned on letting me keep it till the war was over right?”

“No, I think you are missing something”

“Which is?…”

“That was not the plan. We only asked you to keep it for the mean time.”

“Even so, it has just been a few weeks. The war is even over yet, so why do you want it?”

“To keep it as well. We are all involved in this battle. Mr. Callan himself risked his life by conspiring with a soldier in the pack to get the staff for him. He deserves to have it with him too” I expatiate and he chuckles in mockery.

“Really Ralph? You want to please that old hag?”

“Don’t you dare call him names”

“Please don’t tell me you genuinely like that old man. I thought you were just using him”

“No I’m not! That man brought me to the light about this battle and he has been a father figure to me all this while. Don’t you dare call him names!” I warn with a frown.

“Fine! Fine! Don’t eat me. I’m sorry for calling your father names, but, I’m sorry, I can’t give you the staff” He states and I look at him abruptly.

“What?”

“I believe you heard me well, Alpha Ralph, I am not giving you the staff. I have it in my possession and it will be so until this war is over” He states firmly and I smile as I nod my head.

I thought as much.

The bastard really does have plans of getting those powers once this war is over and I can bet on my life that he also plans on eliminating me because I’m going to be a potential threat to him.

Great!

Just great!

I’m going to save my energy for another time. When I get back at him for this, he won’t even be ready!

“I see…” I say nodding my head with a smirk plastered on my face. “I just wanted to keep it for a while, but since you aren’t okay with it, it’s still okay. You can keep it.”

“Not to worry, it is in a safe place and no one will ever be able to get it from here”

“Nice.” I say as I rise up from my seat and straighten up my overall. “Then I best be on my way”

“I’ll see you to the door”

“Thank you” We both walk to the door and all I can think of is how I’m going to get that staff from him.

He can’t get those powers, he cannot become the Paramount Alpha. I will have to die before that happens.

He has no idea what is coming his way.
