The Alpha’s Triple Lunas

(The Dark Dynasty)

Margaret woke to come murmurings and scolding inside the room which she knew was the King’s.

His mother seemed to be scolding him for losing control? That he did surely. Margaret just laid there inclining her ears to hear more.

“She is the worst mate you can have but you have to tolerate her. Scott is close and you haven’t unlocked your gift” the Queen barked.

Gerard slurped down the remaining content of his drink. Did his mother think life had been easy for him since the so-called mate came to his life?

She shouldn’t forget he felt her pain so would be very careful to not hurt her but the dark energy was just out of control.

The same dark energy that directed her as his mate and warned him to not hurt her, was the one who nearly snuffed life out of her.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

When he had left her unconscious in the room, the dark energy let go of him giving him all the pain that he’d caused upon her.

If his mother thought she was suffering to much for his being mate. Then he was suffering more with the dark energy.

“I know you don’t care about her as she’s an enemy but try to be softer. I can’t afford this!” his mother barked on.

He looked up at her before shaking her head, “Mom, did you ever wonder why the dark energy gave me a mate and not you?”.

The Queen shook her head disapprovingly, “Don’t try to avoid this topic young man. I don’t need a mate, you do”

Gerard sighed. His mother would never see things any other way than the way she wanted. He drew out his sword, startling her.

She watched him carefully. He cut a little into his arm. She watched in eagerness. Her eyes widened when the cut slowly healed, leaving a thin mark on his arm. .

She looked at herself and then at him, “You mean the dark energy gives us abilities to heal ourselves?”.

Gerard laughed humorlessly. Never had he thought his mother was so dumb. He saved her the trouble rather and elaborated.

Margaret shifted a bit on the bed as she felt the drama was getting interesting. She was also curious to know how he could heal.

So far she knew only werewolves did that or was she wrong? His explanation made her believe she was far from wrong.

The King could guess, by his mother’s facial gestures that his findings were delusional but even if they were, he’d stick my them.

He had noticed, on the day his was tricked by Margaret and his sister was captured, that Margaret seemed to have a smell of cinnamon.

He felt attracted to her which wasn’t his usual behavior as he rarely changed his bed maidens. He had felt troubled afterwards.

Another example was after he caught her on the night she saved Chan. He woke up besides her, at first, and had a strong urge to bite her.

Which was as barbaric as it was new to him. The dark energy referring to Margaret as his mate, yet had the guts to hurt her only poured it’s frustration on him for not being able to be with their mate. Or in other terms, mark her.

These characteristics, from the Gerard’s knowledge of all magician and mythical creatures, are common only with werewolves.

The dark energy was gotten from a lost gem, that was said to have it’s roots from the werewolves.

And that could be why it was seeking the other gem, from the same origin, that’d bind it’s power to make it stronger.

It was slowly transforming them to werewolves without having them get bitten or born with it. Infecting their souls somehow.

Margaret being his mate was true by werewolf customs and perhaps every other custom.

Whether they accepted it or not, the dark energy they so value were transforming them to the creatures they hated the most in the world.

The realization was too much for the Queen to bear. It made sense. Her son was around the age to find his mate and the girl appeared.

And she also noticed she could speak to him through her mind. Which was the mind link werewolves used. It all made sense now.

She smiled, getting her composure, “Well, we are at advantage. If the dark energy made us think like werewolves, we can beat them”.

Gerard frowned. Why was she still pushing on with the dark energy? The dark energy was beginning to show it’s dark side.

One can only be werewolf by birth or bite. And he didn’t want to be a werewolf.

“The energy is turning me to something I don’t want. Hurting my mate and has been the caused for this long war. I’m tired” he stated flatly.

He didn’t mind the disappointed sigh his mother heaved. He was the King of this turf. If he was tired, it should all stop.

“You are scared not tired. Your southern border and soldiers are being defeated. You want to embrace any small piece of love and peace you can find?” she laughed.

She pointed at Margaret on the bed, “She would be your doom. Like all werewolves mate, she’d be your weakness”.

“Mother, the dark energy had been using us all those while. It wants to make itself powerful, not us. It will control us” his voice grew higher.

His mother didn’t see reasoning in his words. Or rather the energy swelling up inside her didn’t see any reasoning.

“So you’re letting werewolves win? You won’t search for the gem? You want the war and bloodshed to end?” she raved like she’s crazy.

Her son held her hands, feeling for her forehead’s temperature, “Mom. Rest. When this is all over, you’d be happy too”.

She breathed heavily, standing to her feet slowly. Her son was making a mistake. Not after they’ve come this far does he want to give up.

And for what? Cause he has found his mate? Wasn’t that thanks to the dark energy? Why was he giving up on it now?

“This girl would never accept you as her mate. She’d reject you cos I can feel her heart belonging to someone else. You’re just a loser”.

“No, I am a King. And I should have known when to stop this madness years ago. You can either agree to my plan, or cry in silence”.

“Or… I can do it my own way” she smirked, his sword flew from where it rested, slashing her skin. It drew an ‘A’ sign on her hand.

“I am my own Alpha now”.

Gerard went back when he saw her eyes dark. It was the dark energy speaking, he asked it “Since when did you become an Alpha. Since when?”.

“Since I destroyed the Alpha of the Forbidden forest. He couldn’t tell me where the gem was. Scott knows, so I’d go ask him now”.

Before Gerard could stop her, the energy took his mother zooming past the doors and even hitting on walls. Blood dripped from everywhere.
