Alpha’s Obsession, Luna’s Revenge:

Mark Donnell's POV

I am rotting in this dungeon.

My folks have deserted me. 

My dad is my biggest enemy

My dad retired and handed me over his Kingdom nearly five years ago. But he refuses to retire. The blood running in his old veins is still youthful.

I have a suspicion that he might eliminate me.

He hates me because I love my mate, Luna Selene.

How can I stop loving my mate? She is charming, beautiful, energetic, and skilled in statesmanship.

My dad warned me that my mate works for our enemies.

I tried to convince him that she may be the daughter of our enemy but she has been loyal to me and to all of us. My dad refused to believe me.

When Selene told me my dad was planning to replace me with my younger brother Luke, I didn't believe her. 

I miss my mate, my dear wife, Selene. I love her more than my life. She is everything to me.

My only fear is that my dad might have done something bad to her.

I dread in fear thinking so, but I know, no one can harm my wife. She is brave and powerful.

I cannot remain alone in this dark cell without her. I wish she was here with me. Together we could have done something heroic.

I know she is brave and capable of doing heroic deeds, while I am reputed as a weak king, son, and husband.

My dad thinks I am good for nothing. He hates me because I listen to my wife.

I may not survive the loneliness of this dark and cold cell, where I cannot be with anyone.

I am now weak and pathetic with my powers stripped. I am no longer a King. I am not even an Alpha but just an ordinary Omega.

I don't know who is the King right now, if not my dad.

Yesterday, the Royal Palace was all chaos. There was no order. I couldn't follow what was happening before I was arrested and shunted into this dark dungeon.

I think I am to be blamed for whatever happened.

My mate always reminded me to act like a man, to speak for myself, to make a decision.

"I am so sorry, Selene. Oh, how much I miss you. You have been the anchor of my life, my existence. I promise I will believe whatever you say."

What's the point of remembering my dearest mate when I don't even know if I am going to survive?

How Shameful! I should have paid attention to her warning in time.

She had spoken to me about the dangers. She suspected my dad of hatching evil plans against us.

I agreed with her on everything except this warning.

I always felt she was driven by her inner fears, and unfounded suspicion.

I became furious when she told me that Dad wanted to anoint Luke while dethroning me on frivolous charges.

I wished I should have believed her then but today; I am paying for not complying with her. She wanted me to arrest my dad.

I have rarely fought with my wife, but that was one time we fought fiercely. We werewolves are bound by the ties of loyalty to our clan.

Arresting my dad could have brought shame to me from my clan. The citizen wolves might have revolted against me.

But when Selene said that nothing would happen to me because she would accuse him of treachery against the territory, a kind of the most egregious crime in our nation.

This infuriated me more because I had yet to see a more loyal person than my dad dedicated to the cause of the territory.

It was then that Selene warned me to be ready for the consequences.

Oh, how foolish of me that I couldn't foresee, how right Selene had been.

I wonder how could I have missed the vicious side of my dad. I knew he was ill-tempered but I could have never thought that he would be scheming against his son, and come down so harsh upon me.

Now, I suspect, he won't think a second time, should he decide to kill me.

Selene used to remind me that we are always at war and that everything is fair in love and war.

I couldn't have imagined that we have been at war within the Royal family.

I agreed with Selene when she used to say that we are at war because we have been at war with the Southern Territory for generations.

But she meant to hint at the ongoing intrigues within the Royal Palace.

I was torn between Selene, my wife, and William Wolf my dad.

I didn't like my dad telling me that Selene was not trustworthy.

He hated Selene and I know why. He didn't like the idea of me falling in love with Princess Selene, the daughter of Alphas Darius of the Southern Territory.

He did his best to stop our matrimonial alliance but had to wield under the pressure of elders, healers, and wise wolves, who thought the alliance would end the animosity between the two great empires forever.

The healers in our community have the task of not only healing physical ailments and wounds but also the ruptured ties, relations, and social disharmony.

Even when my dad had some of these healers slain for their poor advice, I didn't think my dad could be as vicious as to throw his son in a dark dungeon and ...I don't know what next. I won't be surprised if he has me slain.

I am so lonely and so alone here in the dark that I feel the darkness might swallow me. I can't see Luna, our Moon Goddess from this dark dungeon.

Whenever I am in trouble I pray to the Moon Goddess. The intensity of her light at the time I pray is often in direct relation to the solution of my problem.

Luna Selene, I secretly believe is a direct gift to me from Luna, the Moon Goddess. I am sure the Goddess will save me.

In this dark dungeon, even the omega guards don't treat me well. All they do is shove my food plate with bland-tasting sordid food through the doors.

There is a loyal guard though. He treats me well. He keeps his head bowed when speaking to me and never forgets to address me with my honorific "Alpha King"

What this loyal guard informed me about Luna Queen Selene filled me with terror. I could not stop the tears from falling from my eyes. I was shocked….
