Alpha Damien’s Trouble Maker Novel

I staggered forward . My legs felt like they no longer belonged to me , but I forced them to move . I couldn't stop . My breaths came fast , my vision blurring , but I pushed through the haze . I did it . I really did it . I escaped death . Even though I was still bleeding , broken , hanging by a thread , I knew if I got treatment , I could make it . I could heal , and live . The thought made a faint smile tug at my lips . I looked up and saw the gates of the castle . My home . It was guarded by familiar men in armor . Relief flooded me so hard it nearly dropped me to my knees .

' We did it , Mira . We're almost home . ' Mira didn't answer . My wolf had been silent since the battle . She was a white wolf , one of the strongest in existence , yet when I needed her most , she had vanished just like every other time in my past lives . Still , I knew she was there , watching , helping in her own way . If not for her, I would already be dead . I didn't understand her silence , but I told myself that once I was healed , she'd come back to me . My body swayed as I stumbled toward the gate . One of the guards narrowed his eyes , then shouted , " Huh ?

Something's approaching ! Raise your arrows ! " " Who are you ?! State your business ! " I threw up a trembling hand , my voice hoarse . " Hold ! Don't shoot . It's me , I'm Luna Selene . " The men froze , blinking at me in shock . I couldn't blame them . I must've looked nothing like myself , covered in blood , staggering like a beggar at death's door instead of the graceful Luna they were used to . I braced my hands on my knees , gasping for air , then forced myself upright . My eyes locked on them . " What are you waiting for ? Open the gates . Tell Adrian I'm back .

" The guards didn't move . Instead , they exchanged looks with one another . And then , slowly , they lifted their bows and aimed them at me . I blinked , disbelieving . My heart stumbled in my chest . " W - what are you doing ? " I stared at the men , my body swaying , my chest burning with every ragged breath . One of them stepped forward , his voice hard . " On your knees . You've been ordered to be taken into custody . " into custody ? My eyes widened . " W - what do you mean , taken into custody ? What are you doing ? Can't you see I'm injured ? " My voice cracked .

" I'll die if I'm not treated . Call Adrian this instant ! If Adrian knew what you were doing , he would never tolerate this disrespect ! " A guard scoffed , his lips curling into a mocking smile . " Yeah , right . On your knees , Selene Bloodrose . " The full name hit me like a slap . No one dared call the Luna by her full name . I frowned , confused . This was wrong . They knew who I was . They knew my title . And yet , they dared point arrows at me ? I opened my mouth to demand answers , but the gates creaked open . I turned , relieved to see Adrian stepping out .

He looked as breathtaking as always , long black hair tied back neatly , his red robes flowing , a golden crown glinting atop his head . My Alpha , my mate . The reason I fought this war to begin with . At his side walked my twin sister , Sienna . She was one of the few people who had always stood by me , supported me , and loved me no matter what . Walking behind them were more guards . Adrian's steps were slow . He stopped in front of me . My knees nearly buckled , but I exhaled in relief . Thank god . I smiled . " A - Adrian ... thank god you're here . These men are talking nonsense .

They won't let me in , they say I'm to be taken into custody . I know it must be a mistake . " I clutched at my bleeding side . " But I don't mind , I'm just so tired , Adrian . I need treatment . Please , just- " I stopped when something caught my eye . 08:13 Tue , Dec 23 < 2 | Alpha Damien doesn't spare anyone " W - what ... what is this ? " My voice was no more than a whisper . I forced my gaze to Adrian , searching for reassurance . " Why is she wearing that ? " He didn't move , didn't even react to the state I was in . He only stood there , eyes unreadable .

My lips trembled as I licked them , tasting blood . " Adrian ... what's going on ? " Adrian's eyes met mine . " How did you manage to survive ? " I blinked . My breath caught in my throat . " W - what ? " " How did you survive , Selene ? And where are the troops that were sent with you ? " My mouth went dry . I swallowed hard , my body swaying on my feet . I didn't know what to say . My thoughts were muddled , spinning with exhaustion and blood loss . Sienna's voice rang out beside him . " Sister , the Alpha asked you a question . Why are you so quiet ? Do you not have an answer ?

" She tapped her chin as if in thought , her lips curving . " Or ... could it be that you used your troops as a distraction and escaped by yourself ? " My eyes widened . I stared at her in disbelief . " W - what are you saying , Sienna ? " A distraction ? I would never do that ." One of the guards sneered . " What ? You mean she abandoned them ? Used her own soldiers to cover her retreat ? " He spat at the ground . " Coward . " I shook my head desperately . " No ! I said that's not true ! I didn't use anybody to escape ! " Adrian's voice was merciless . " Then how did you escape ?

Why would that cold - hearted demon let you live ? " I wanted to scream at him that I was dying , that he could at least let me rest before forcing me to answer , but I bit the words back . All I could do was force out the truth through trembling lips . カラ ww " I ... I don't know ," I whispered . " He just let me go . Everyone else is dead , but he didn't kill me . Sienna laughed . A mocking chuckle that didn't sound like my sister at all . さす " But why would he let you go , sister ? From what I've heard , Alpha Damien doesn't spare anyone . He kills everyone who stands in his way .

Oh , unless ... " She gasped dramatically , her hand flying to her mouth in shock . " Unless you let him and his men inside you . Is that why he let you go ? " My blood boiled at her vile remark . " Enough ! " I snapped , my voice thundering with my Luna command . Sienna stumbled back , her smug smile faltering . Even in my state , I could still put her in her place . " Don't make such disgusting assumptions ! " I roared , my chest heaving . " I would rather die than let them touch me ! " I turned toward Adrian , my gaze desperate , and pleading . " You have to believe me , Adrian .

That's what happened . " For a moment , he only stared . His cold green eyes searched mine , but there was no warmth there . It doesn't matter . " My breath hitched . " W - what ? " " It doesn't matter what happened out there . What matters is that you weren't supposed to make it out alive , Selene . " The ground tited beneath me . " What are you saying ... ? " " I thought I was sparing you , he continued , " I thought it would be kinder to let you die in battle than to reject you before the entire pack and bury you in shame . But you didn't die in battle .
