Mateless and Luna Bound

Chapter 1: Sending his mate away

~~~

Author's POV

~~~

Craven stared long and hard at the infant in his arms, she now slept peacefully after so much tears, her tears stained soft cheeks tugged at his heart, he felt moved by her pretty round face, how can he kill her?, What can he do now?,

He could neither kill nor let her live, she was too dangerous even as a child... As his Mate...

"No I can't kill her" he whispered to Beta,

He raised his head and stared at the Old man,

"How could you even suggest killing her?, she's your grandchild for Moon's sake!" Craven whispered furiously.

Parnell stiffened

"My obligation to the pack overrides all other duties, even one to my family, before you remind me she's my grandchild, let me remind you, the Alpha king won't spare this pack if he finds out an offspring of Alexander Black lives and breathes in the air of this land" Parnell replied, throwing in the Alpha King's name.

"Even without the Alpha king breathing down on our neck, you have to remember she's a warlock's daughter and if you don't kill her now, she'll kill you and destroy us, the future of the entire wolf tribe lies with you" he added.

"The Alpha king can't do anything, he takes his orders from me and wouldn't dare to touch my pack" Craven glared furiously at the old man.

Parnell was taken aback, he didn't expect his reaction.

"Even so, you have to destroy her, she's too powerful, she'll be the end of us, for damn's sake you should be worried about your pack and not some soft faced intact!" The old man urged forcefully.

"She's not some child, she's my mate!, and lower your voice when you speak to your Alpha" Craven hissed.

"Well..., we all have to make sacrifices" Parnell said, picking his words.

Craven should never have gotten his hand on the child in the first place, he would have gotten rid of her in his own way. He thought with disgust.

"You have to remember I'm still the Alpha of this pack and I decide what goes on here, do pick your words old man" the look Craven gave him made Parnell step back unconsciously,

he had to admit the 16 year old Alpha might be unreasonable and emotional at times, but it doesn't make him less dangerous than his Father, if not more, otherwise he wouldn't have been the Alpha of the pack and undoubtedly the next Alpha king.

"I'll do what you suggested if that would save the pack from future troubles, you're right, the pack comes first before other things, Assemble the pack Elders I'll be there in five minutes" he said grimly.

It's of no use refusing the old man or arguing with him either, Crave sighed, he'll find a way to hurt the child anyway.

The only way to save the poor thing is to agree, she's too powerful.

The old man is right, she might lead to his downfall or pack's ruination, either way he's not so heartless that he'll kill an infant, in fact the old man might do the deed himself. Craven made out a plan.

Parnell was surprised the stubborn Alpha agreed but he was too happy to complain,

He carried out the young Man's order and assembled the Elders.

Everything was perfect, it was like killing two birds with a stone.

Getting rid of the powerful bastard and rendering the Alpha Mateless.

**18 years later**

"Mo-ther" the girl moaned in frustration, if only her mother would just agree!

"It's only five days, I promise I'll stay out of trouble" she pleaded, following her mother into the kitchen

"Go and set the table, your father will be home soon then you can argue with him" Helen replied

"You know he won't accept if you don't, please Ma" the girl pressed.

"I've already told you my decision, now move out of my way, I'll set the table if you refuse to do it" her mother replied

She moved out of the way and the woman stepped out of the kitchen.

"Arggh, why doesn't she want me to go?, I'm an adult now!" The girl said under her breath.

"I heard that" her mother replied from the dining room.

"So much for whispering" she said with irritation, that's one of the things about wolves, your hearing is super sharper that than of humans, amongst others.

"I'm not a child Mom, besides it's my last year, I really want to go, please—" she pleaded.

"You might think you're not a child but you act like one and it doesn't matter if you're 5 or 45 you'll always be my child so when I say no I mean no" Helen said firmly.

"But Mo-ther—"
