kill her mate.
When she opened the door, Tanner was standing on the other side. His eyes widened then narrowed on her. “Mutants just breached the borders, and Royce-fucking-father-of-the-year is leading them.”
She didn’t reply as she moved past him to walk down the street in the direction she sensed Royce.
Drawing on the Alpha from the mating bond with Royce, she welcomed the flow of power that filled her. At the same time, she called to her wolf, surrendering full control over to her. We have our Pack to defend.
Yes. Kill the bastard.
“Well, well. I didn’t think you had the guts to come up against me.” Royce glared at her with an emptiness she’d seen many times over the last few years.
“You’re a traitor to the Pack and therefore are the enemy.” She felt her Enforcers move in behind her.
Royce flicked his gaze to them and grinned. “You really think you can defeat me?”
“I can and will take back my Pack.”
A grin turned into a smile that made her spine turn to ice. Then Royce advanced to her faster than she’d ever seen him move. Fisting her hair in one hand, he wrapped the other around her throat. Around them, chaos broke out. Royce’s mutants and rogues were fighting the MoonRiver Enforcers.
“You want the power so bad? You can have it.” Royce snarled and his eyes darkened, turning almost black as he pushed the Alpha power into her.
She screamed, feeling like she was going to explode from the inside out. Her wolf howled and threw herself against Luna, wanting out to tear Royce apart. Pain clouded her mind and it was hard to think.
The plan?
Oh yeah, kill Royce. That wasn’t going as well as she hoped. She was too weak.
Tears streamed down her face, and she closed her eyes. Then Royce leaned in and whispered, “I hope you didn’t truly believe the children were safe in the tunnel systems.”
A part of her that she wasn’t aware of snapped. It was like something deep inside her broke. Her wolf growled, deep. The children were hers to protect. They were hers!
Shifting her hands into the claws of her wolf, she thrust one forward, tearing into Royce’s stomach. He growled out a curse and tightened his hold on her, but she no longer felt the pain. She was broken. On autopilot.
The only thing she knew was to kill.
She pulled on the power Royce was punching into her, balling it up in her core. Then she threw it back into him, faster and harder than he did her. He yipped and stumbled back while releasing her.
Falling to her hands and knees, she kept her head down then slowly sucked back in the Alpha magic. That time she felt the Pack. They were hurting. She needed to end the fight and end Royce before she lost everything.
“That was a nice trick, bitch.” Royce moved toward her, and she waited.
When he got about a foot from her, she leaped up and shifted at the same time. Her wolf landed on Royce, biting into his shoulder while blasting magic through their bond.
He threw her off of him. She landed on her side and slid a few feet before she jumped back up on all fours. The pain from her injuries never registered, and she didn’t stop attacking. Her wolf was in full control and feral.
When he came at her again, she rammed into him while throwing every ounce of power and magic she had into him. In the process, she hit him hard enough she broke a few vertebrae.
“Luna…” He wheezed and coughed as he laid on the ground. She inched closer until she stood over him. He looked her in the eyes and in that split moment, he wasn’t rogue. He was the man she fell in love with. Then he pleaded. “End it.”
Her wolf pounced, biting into his neck and shaking until his body went limp. She dropped her lifeless mate on the ground, feeling the Alpha power run through her body, strengthening it.
She let out a howl, letting her Pack know that they had a new Alpha. Howls echoed around her, and she took off, going through the den, taking down every last rogue that was too stupid not to run.
Her sons and Enforcers were at her side the whole time. When there was no one else to kill, she collapsed on the ground. The last thing she remembered was Tanner picking her up and calling out to Sasha, their Healer.

“You’re very pretty.”
Luna paused her
