125 After The Battle

Tia.

Stacy and I had to prepare to head to Neev in a rush. We could not take much with us so we could travel faster. I

wasn't a fan of road travel, but that was the best option. The women were excited, especially after I had assigned ranks

to them. They took it seriously even though it wasn't real. They were eager to show what they had, and the fact that we

would be going up against Regan gave them a new determination. A lot of them had it in for him. I knew if they had the

opportunity to catch him on a one-on-one, they were bound to kill him. Which explained why the guy lurked in the Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

shadows all these years. He was afraid of being caught.

While we loaded ourselves in the transport, I had to address them again.

"Ladies, I know we are pumped up for a fight but remember, everyone that is not our side is fair game except for

Regan. His death will be slow and painful, so we should only injure and capture him!" I said, and they all agreed. Stacy

looked at me and smiled. She was all geared up in her shorts and tank top. She looked hot and very young too. The

woman was a hottie. No wonder neither Regan nor Aesop wanted to let go. Every van had a Leader in charge of

coordinating the women. We were still loading up when I received a call on my cell phone. I answered immediately.

"Hello," I said.

"Luna Tia, this is Alpha Mark Winslow of Santa Braee," The voice said. It wasn't the same voice I spoke to the day

before, so I was careful.

"Your voice.." I said, and he chuckled a bit.

"I have an Alpha that fronts for me," he said, and I was silent because I did not know how to respond to that.

"I got the documents you sent, and everything checks out. I just have one question?" He said, and I was attentive.

"Is Regan Adhit Luis Moon?" He asked, and I knew the question was upside down, but it was okay, so I said, "Yes, it

is."

"So Luis Moon is Aesop Moon's half brother?" He asked, and I burst into laughter. I could not believe the ridiculousness

of what he had just said. I knew it was a bit insensitive of me, but that was a big lie.

"Ehm, did you do your research?" I asked him, trying hard not to laugh again.

"Yes, but I want to know how they are related," he asked, and I smiled.

"Well, Luis Moon is his pseudo name. His real name is Tom Regan Adhit. He is from a small town in Dome called Tempaah, and he is nowhere related to the Moons." I said, and I could hear the man cursing at the other end.

"That Weasle," he said, and I was quiet.

"I flew into Woodclaw this morning with some men to capture that bastard. Can you lead me to him?" he asked, and I sighed.

"Matter of fact, I am heading to his location now. He is fighting Alpha Aesop in a one-on-one battle for the control of the island. I am going there to make sure he doesn't cheat." I told him.

"That is great. Let us meet up. I am currently at the Great Luval. Can we head to the venue together? Mind you, we are armed." He said, and I beamed with joy.

"Any help is good help, but you have to agree to leave him for us to punish," I said, and he was silent for a bit.

"Can I take a part of him?" He asked, and I thought about it.

"As long as he can live without it, why not," I said, and that was how we struck a deal.

I told Stacy and the fight club leaders about it. They were ecstatic. We met up with Mark Winslow as agreed, and I noticed Oliva was already tripping. Too bad he had a bold mark on his neck that screamed 'Hitched' maybe in another life.

The trip was long and hard. We travelled all through the night into the morning, and By the time we got to the battleground, there was chaos already. I was glad we arrived when we did. If

we hadn't, Regan would have won.

MORNING AFTER THE BATTLE

I woke up in the morning to the sun stinging my eyes. I felt the side of the bed, and it was empty. Where was Luke? I sat up gently and looked around. I was naked under the covers, so I looked around for my oversized t-shirt and couldn't find anything. Luke's bag was in the room, so I got off the bed and went to see if there was something I could wear. I did not come to Neev with an overnight bag. How could I, when we were armed and headed straight to the battle upon arrival. While I checked through his things, the images of the fight flashed through my mind, making me giddy. I was grateful to the goddess for keeping Luke and everyone alive. I was sad about the lives we lost and hoped they find their reward in the afterlife.

When I arrived, the opponents had won. My heart was in my mouth when I thought they had killed my husband, and that was why I shot at the wolves like a mad woman. The moment I saw Luke in his wolf form, my heart rested, and I was filled with the determination to leave there alive with my family. Alpha Winslow and Alpha Aesop did a number on Regan, and he deserved it. I went to the bathroom to shower and then wore Luke's T-shirt and boxers after. I hoped the oversized T- shirts they gave the women would suffice because none of us came with extra clothes. We were so excited about the battle that we did not think of what we would wear after we shifted.

The moment I exited the bathroom, Luke was standing and staring at me with a broad grin on his face. His eyes were filled with love and gratitude; I was elated to see him. He was alive and well, something I feared would be the opposite when I arrived and did not see him. Remembering how I felt at that moment, unwanted tears ran down my cheeks. I tried to blink them away, but they won't stop. I was glad, and at the same time, the fear that lingered was leaving me. Luke rushed to me and held me. Placing my head against his chest, I breathed in his scent.

"Don't ever die on me, Luke," I said, and he squeezed tightly.

"I am glad you came, Tia. For the first time. I am glad you disobeyed me." he said and squeezed tighter.

"You broke all your promises to keep me alive, Tia," he said, kissing the top of my head. " Thank you. Thank you so much," he said, and I held him tightly and sobbed. The realisation of what we passed through on the battlefield had dawned on me. I did not know if it was luck that that was on our side, but I was so thankful that Luke was alive.

Pulling away from me, he stared into my eyes.

"I will never give you orders again, Tia. You are free to do as you like within reason as long as it won't harm you or anyone, " he said and wiped away the tears from my cheeks. I nodded, and he smiled. His eyes were teary, and I knew he was fighting back the tears too.

"We finally got him, Luke. We finally caught the bastard." I said, and he nodded and smiled.

"Yes, darling. We got the bastard." He said and then looked at me in his shirt.

"I will take you right now to show appreciation, but we have a helicopter to board. There are Helicopters here to

transport everyone back to Woodclaw," he said, and I smiled.

"So what now?" I asked him.

"What needs to be done. Kirk and Caleb have gone ahead of us. I issued an arrest warrant for all the Alphas that

backed Regan up and withdrew their military support. We will be sentencing them this evening in the sentencing hall for

all to see." he said and placed his hand on my shoulders.

"It is time to take back the island, Tia," He said, and I smiled at him.

"I want to be part of the decision-making." I requested.

"You and Stacy have earned a seat on the council," He said, and I smiled at him.

"What about the women?" I asked.

"They are free to join the military and try out for the ranks." He said, and I smiled. I was so happy that some of them

would have their dreams come true. Luke and I stared at each other for a bit, appreciating that we were alive. I exhaled

and smiled with love.

"I love you, Luke. I love you so much." I said not to make him happy but as a confession of my true feelings.

"I love you too, Tia. I love you more than my life, and it will always be that way for me until the day I take my last

breath," he said and kissed me.

We left the hotel room and boarded the helicopter. Alpha Mark Winslow was there deep in conversation with Olivia.

Stacy and Aesop were there too. Aesop held on to her tightly, and she leaned against him. I hoped she would not leave

now. They can love each other without obstacles now that she is officially his mate. I wondered if the mark on his neck

was Stacy's and Chloe's or just Chloe's since it was just on one side.

"Tia," Stacy said, smiling at me. " We did it. We arrived on time," she said, and I leaned forward and held her hand. She

touched mine, and words did not need to be spoken between us. A new bond had been created without us knowing it.

We put on the headphones, and I leaned against my husband while the helicopter lifted into the air.
