After Everything: Become A Worthless Luna

The sound of people panicking and running for their lives resounded. As the flames rose and spread, burning residential areas, the smoke became very thick.

This is why Amerta hates wars over territory.

Amerta coughed while walking in a hurry away from the residential area. His chest felt very tight. On the right and left, Red Goddess pack soldiers were passing by carrying the bodies of the residents who had not been crushed by the ruins of the buildings.

Meanwhile, Amerta's energy has run out. He heard a faint roar of anger. Amerta knows that in the border area of ​​settlements and kingdoms, the soldiers of the Red Goddess pack are driving away the enemy's pack soldiers.

Amerta's move did not last long. Her body fell down just like that because both of her legs which had been crushed by the ruins of the building weakened. Amerta groaned while examining the wound on her leg.

The skin blistered and gaped, exposing the flesh.

Amerta groaned in annoyance. People were still running around her, but she couldn't walk anymore. How could she save the remaining citizens inside the residential buildings?

"Amerta!"

Amerta's gaze moved to the source of the sound. A smile curved on his face after seeing the arrival of Alpha Alvrada-his mate.

"Alpha Alvrada..." Amerta's voice was low. Her body was too limp to stand up to her lover.

Alpha Alvrada ran to catch up with Amerta. His face was shabby and full of several cuts, but his eyes looked straight at Amerta as if his worry was very great.

"Hold it right there! I'll come to you!" Alpha Alvrada shouted when Amerta tried to stand up. He knew Amerta wanted to come to him.

Amerta did not want to pay attention. Even though her whole body was in extreme pain after confronting the enemy troops in the border region, she forced himself to stand up.

Tonight Amerta separated from the Alpha Robert and Luna Queen Rose-her parents. Amerta just wants to be near someone she loves to ease all the pain. Amerta wanted to hug Alpha Alvrada's muscular body to calm her worries over the state of the Red Goddes pack which had been completely destroyed.

But in the middle of Alpha Alvrada running towards Amerta, a wolf suddenly jumped from the side. It hit Alpha Alvrada's body so that the Alpha's body fell backwards.

"ALPHA!" With the remaining strength, Amerta shouted loudly calling Alpha Alvrada.

On top of Alpha Alvrada's body, the charging wolf transformed into the figure of a warrior man. Alpha Alvrada dodged as hard as he could when the man who was piling up his body tried to give him multiple punches.

"You're not part of the Red Goddess pack! Why..." A heavy fist hit Alpha Alvrada in the jaw. "...you protect..."

Amerta looked panicked at Alpha Alvrada who was hit by a barrage of punches. She was so annoyed that she couldn't do anything, Amerta forced her legs to stand up even though in the end she still swayed when she stepped.

"Alpha Robert's pack must be destroyed! He doesn't deserve to be Alpha!"

Alpha Alvrada groaned loudly as she pushed the man's body aside. Then Alpha Alvrada immediately picked up the sword that had been thrown.

"Alpha!" Amerta called. Her eyes caught a glimpse of the man who was groaning Alpha Alvrada, and only then realized that the man was Beta Gobert Galhart-his father's younger brother. "Uncle, stop! Get away from him!" she warned Beta Gobert.

Alpha Alvrada turned to Amerta, then widened in panic because she saw Amerta walking in a hurry.

"Amerta, I told you not to move!" Alpha Alvrada gave the order.

"I can't let him fight you!" Amerta firmly denied Alpha Alvrada. "You traitor! You compromised the enemy pack!"

On the other hand, Beta Gobert grinned at Amerta's words. As his body began to stand up, he said with a laugh, "Traitor? Me? You should blame your father because he treated me unfairly!"

Amerta growled. Haven't had time to speak, his steps fell again. The burning sensation was so strong that Amerta was unable to hold back the pain.

Beta Gobert laughed even wider. "You should realize, Amerta, that Red Goddess pack has been destroyed! He doesn't deserve to be an Alpha!"

Alpha Alvrada immediately brandished his sword and rushed at Beta Gobert. Uncle Gobert pulled out his sword as well, clinking as it clashed with Alpha Alvrada's blade.

"A traitor like you should die," said Alpha Alvrada in an emphatic tone.

Beta Gobert did not falter at the threat. "Why are you giving me death threats? You will die!"

Witnessing the fight between Beta Gobert and Alpha Alvrada, Amerta just wanted to get up. Unfortunately, unexpectedly, suddenly her hands were pulled back so that she almost swayed.

Suddenly Amerta screamed in surprise and made Alpha Alvrada's attention turn away.

"Amerta! Gosh, look who I got?!"

Amerta looked up and saw the figure of another man, very familiar, which instantly made her heart warm. Argos Suveros, an Alpha of Blue Qwardo pack-Alpha Robert's pack enemies.

A satisfied grin spread across Argos' face. His gaze to Amerta showed as if he had just caught a fresh meat.

"How are you, Robert's favorite daughter? It's a pleasure we'd meet tonight."

Amerta gritted her teeth. She was so angry, her body rebelled so that Argos's grip was released from the collar of her neck. But Argos' strength was far greater, even Argos' body towered higher than Amerta's.

"HEY, DON'T TOUCH IT!" Alpha Alvrada shouted a warning to Argos.

Argos only looked down on Alpha Alvrada, then Beta Gobert immediately ran up to the Alpha. Beta Gobert's sword raised to get rid of the Alpha's sword and threw it away.

In just seconds Beta Gobert pointed the point of the sword at Alpha Alvrada's neck.

"Tonight, all members of the Red Goddess pack must be finished without a trace!" said Beta Gobert.

Before Alpha Alvrada could strike back, suddenly a group of soldiers came. Ambushed the Alpha's two arms from behind and limited his movements.

Beta Gobert arched a grin. "Do you see this, Amerta? The lover you love will die..."

Amerta winced as she felt Argos's hand grip her more and more. She couldn't get any stronger because she felt burning sensation in the feet.

Amerta looked at Alpha Alvrada's with her wide-eyed stare. Her lover's arms were held by Beta Gobert's sword pointed at his neck.

"Please, release him..." That was Amerta's soft voice. "You can kill me! Don't kill him!"

"No! Don't hurt Amerta! Free her!" Alpha Alvrada firmly denied.

Amerta shook her head. His heart broke hearing Alpha Alvrada's words.

"No... please don't..."

Argos immediately looked interested. "What am I listening to now? A couple trying to give up their lives for each other?" he quipped with a mocking laugh.

Alpha Alvrada let out a wolf groan while looking at Beta Robert. He struggled to get free, but both legs were slashed by Uncle Gobert's sword. The Alpha's body collapsed and fell to its knees.

"Alpha," Amerta called softly.

"Oh, what a pity." Argos pretended to be pitiful, his voice a fake squeak. "Are there any last words you would say to him?"

Amerta couldn't say anything now. His tongue was too sore from seeing the sight of Alpha Alvrada struggling and growling while getting kicked in the back.

"I let you witness the death of your lover now, Princess Amerta," whispered Argos on purpose. He stroked her chin gently. "Tonight, everything you had was destroyed."

Amerta shook her head. She didn't want to accept the reality she faced tonight. Even though screams of pain came from around her mixed with the sounds of fighting, and even though she didn't see her parents again.

Amerta still remembers her father's promise to follow her. Her family will still gather and win this war. She believes Alpha Robert, her father, is a powerful royal leader.

After all, so far Alpha Robert has always won the territorial defense wars.

"You better realize, Amerta. You don't need to expect anything else after the destruction in front of your eyes now." Argos did not stop agitating in Amerta's ear. His whispers slowly made Amerta's eyes heat up as tears welled up there.

'Help us, Moon Goddes,' whispered Amerta in her heart.

"Now, say goodbye to your lover, Amerta!" Argos' tone rose and sounded more assertive. His body straightened and pushed Amerta's body like throwing garbage.

After Amerta's body fell, she couldn't get up because she felt the tip of the Argos sword on her back. Amerta only paid attention to Alpha Alvrada, who was already slumped helplessly.

When eye contact was established between them, Amerta's chest felt very tight. The pain in his leg was no bigger than how he felt seeing Alpha Alvrada's condition right now. Even more painful, Amerta can not do anything.

Amrita felt herself useless.

But there, Alpha Alvrada smiled at him. The intense emotion from the look in his dark eyes crushed Amerta's heart even more.

"Just kill me, let Amerta live her life freely..."

"If that's what you want, Alpha Alvrada."

A split second later, Amerta howled wildly as Beta Gobert's sword swung down to Alpha Alvrada's neck.

It happened so fast.

Amerta's eyes immediately blurred with tears. His heart ached more and more being hit by something, pressing until his screams were silent. As if the pain wasn't enough now, Amerta felt a strong kick from Argos that made her fall to the ground.

In that position, Amerta was half conscious. But he was still conscious enough to see two soldiers carrying the heads of the King and Queen-Amerta's parents.

"Did you see that, Princess Amerta?" Argos' tone whispered cynically, his satisfaction increased when he realized the suffering from Amerta's eyes. "What do you wish for now? No one can save you anymore."

"You traitor!" Amerta bullies Beta Gobert who doesn't do anything.

Beta Gobert just smiled proudly. As the other warriors cheered triumphantly, Beta Gobert brandished his sword. Omen holds the glory.

"You guys shouldn't treat me unfairly. After all, I should have gotten the Alpha position, but your father took that power away," said Beta Gobert.

"Who... treated you unfairly?" Feeling so tight, Amerta's voice stuttered.

There was a feeling of disapproval in his heart because he heard the humiliation of his parents. "No one treats you like that! It's... only... you! You are an evil devil!"

Beta Gobert couldn't hold back his laughter after hearing Amerta's words. His laughter was loud with the laughter of the other soldiers.

"Not treating me like that? Hey, who listens to me in the kingdom? Nothing! Who throws away everything I created, I suggest, then embarrasses me at every royal meeting?! Robert has made me lose respect and value in the Kingdom!"

It's useless for Amerta to deny Beta Gobert's words. After all, Beta Gobert was already overcome with anger. His hatred for Alpha Robert-Amerta's father is very strong. His thinking was already not clear.

Indeed, before the Alpha title was handed over to Robert, Beta Gobert should have gotten it as the eldest son.

Unfortunately what happened, Amerta's grandfather loved Robert more and handed over the Alpha title to his youngest child. If the Alpha title had been handed over to Beta Gobert, would Amerta's situation be different?

"There's no need to say much, Gobert! We have to kill the only remaining wolf in the pack!" Argos spoke furiously. "Amerta ... are you ready to meet your death?"

Amerta's heart shattered into pieces. Amerta couldn't open her mouth to speak. The tears fell more and more. But Argos grabbed her chin and raised her head, forcing Amerta to see the three heads.

"Say goodbye to them, Amerta. Your family is no longer in control of your pack."

Amerta's lips trembled as long as her chin was tightly gripped by Argos. While groaning loudly, Amerta immediately looked away with all her might so as not to witness the painful sight in front of her.

'Everything... has been destroyed...' Amerta moaned to herself.

It wasn't long before Amerta heard the group's footsteps approaching this area. Then followed by the sound of Argos groaning and his body collapsing a few meters beside Amerta.

"You should be the one saying goodbye." The deep voice of an unfamiliar man was heard.

Amerta was too weak to witness what was happening. She can't even open her eyes because all of the pain inside her heart.

It hurts so much. Her parents are dead. Her lover is dead. All members and region of the Red Goddess pack under Alpha Robert's power were destroyed, nothing left.

The only thing Amerta thought was that she should also die. Is she half conscious now heading towards death?

"Amerta Cassa Galhart..."

Oh, the Moon Goddesses are calling her name to truly die.

Amrita smiled. Imagine if she could gather with his parents and Alpha Alvrada in the afterlife. They will all form a new family, just the four of them.

"... I made a promise since I first saw you now. I, Alpha Fredico Parvis Goltzius, inaugurate you to be my mate. Starting tonight."

Amerta's head was very dizzy as her eyes opened slowly. The light shone sharply into her eyes until Amerta needed to blink repeatedly to adapt to the situation around her.

Is she dead?

Why did it feel like Amerta had just had a very bad dream?

"Argh, it hurts so much..." Amerta groaned as her whole body ached. Once her eyelids fully opened, Amerta was confused. "What is this place? Where am I?"

Surrounding Amerta is a small patch of dull, dark gray walls and a very small light bulb. Nothing but a long wooden stool with no back and arms. Above the bench are two chains hanging from small hangers that dangle to the cement tiles here.

It took Amerta a split second to digest the current situation. Amerta was still in her position until she heard the sound of footsteps echoing.

Amerta's gaze shifted to the side. She gasped after seeing the iron door of the prison. A man she didn't recognize stood in front of the prison's iron door, as if he were opening a padlock.

Amrita furrowed her brows.

After the iron door of the prison opened, the man who entered was a little surprised to realize that Amerta had woken up. The man remained motionless for a moment, then sighed awkwardly.

"Ah, it turns out you're awake."

Amerta watched this man from head to toe. As the stranger's steps approached, Amerta inched backwards.

"Who are you?" The question of pointing at Amerta immediately came out.

"Wait, don't be afraid yet," said the man, then stopped three steps in front of Amerta. "I am Leofric Morcant, a beta wolf in this kingdom."

Kingdom?

Amrita was confused and could not answer anything. So she's not dead? Was last night's incident... a reality?!

Instantly Amerta's body jerked trembling, moving backwards until her back hit the wall. The image of the sight of the three heads before her falling unconscious replayed in her brain. The atmosphere of chaos, the screams of pain, and the last smile Alpha Alvrada gave her before being beheaded ...

"No way," Amerta said softly, "I'm not dreaming?"

Leo frowned seeing Amerta suddenly frightened. Though he hasn't said anything yet. Last night, Leo had heard that the Alpha Black Moon-his pack had brought a woman who would become his mate.

After the ceremony of handing over the Alpha title to Alpha Fredico, he ordered Leo to take this woman to the underground kingdom prison. Leo hadn't spoken much to this woman because last night had been so heartbreaking.

"Are you from an enemy kingdom? To kidnap me?!" accused Amerta who looked at Leo with trepidation. "Alpha King Argos... who... ordered you?"

Leo couldn't say anything after hearing Amerta's pointed question. Seeing Amerta's frightened figure reminded him of last night's incident, when he and Alpha Fred heard news of the chaos of a pack being attacked by enemies.

When Leo and Alpha Fred came to the scene of the chaos, they found that only Amerta was left. Nothing can be saved anymore.

"No, not him," Leo replied gently. He held out one hand. "Calm yourself first. This isn't the Alpha Argos empire you mentioned just now."

"Then, this... what kingdom?" asked Amrita in a low voice.

"Kingdom of Alvrada, the kingdom under me."

It wasn't Leo who answered.

Amerta and Leo simultaneously looked back. At that time, another man-whose body was more muscular and clad in formal royal attire entered the room this patch. His gaze was very sharp. The intimidating aura was so thick when his steps approached Amerta.

"Alpha Fredico," called Leo who immediately stood up and gave a brief bow. "Your Luna has woken up. I was about to feed her."

Amerta watched this man who was called Alpha Fredico. In contrast to Leo, Alpha Fredico didn't smile at all. He ignored Leo's words and focused on Amerta's eyes.

"Have you forgotten what happened last night?" asked Alpha Fredico, then slowly took a step forward and crouched down. "Amerta, you are in my kingdom now."

Still unable to say anything, Amerta inched backwards. Alpha Fredico's eyes narrowed sharply at him.

"Alpha Fredico," Amerta spelled the Alpha's name, "w-why... did you bring me?"

Alpha Fredico reached out to hold Amerta's chin. He gripped Amerta's cheeks tightly to prevent her from looking away.

"To make you be my mate," Alpha Fredico answered briefly.

Amerta winced because Alpha Fredico's grip made her cheek hurt. He couldn't speak at all. Until finally Alpha Fredico let go of his grip by slamming Amerta's face.

"To be your mate?" asked Amrita in a trembling voice. "No! I am Alpha Alvrada's mate. I will not be your mate."

Alpha Fredico laughed sarcastically. It was only brief, but his grin was still curved.

"Your lover is dead, remember?"

No, Alpha Alvrada is not dead. What happened last night was just a bad dream. Amerta shook her head, unable to accept Alpha Fredico's words.

"I saved you. You're the only one left. You should have to thanks me."

Instantly Amerta lunged at Alpha Fredico and grabbed him by the collar. With a look of trepidation and fear, she eyed Alpha Fredico suspiciously.

"Why did you make me your mate, huh?" asked Amrita emphatically.

Amerta's sudden action surprised Leo. When he was just about to approach, Alpha Fredico gave a hand signal to Leo not to come closer.

Leo backed away. But his gaze was worried for Amerta-more precisely for Alpha Fredico.

"I will not be your mate because I love Alpha Alvrada," emphasized Amerta giving a warning.

Alpha Fredico looked at the grip of Amerta's hands on his neck. Getting louder, but shaking. His smile grew interested.

"Rebel. You really don't know how to thanks me," replied Alpha Fredico.

Amrita's brows furrowed. A second later, without further ado, Alpha Fredico's hand swung violently to slap Amerta's face. A strong jolt of energy made Amerta's face immediately crash to the side.

"Alpha! Please stop!" Leo immediately approached Alpha Fredico and held the Alpha's hand.

"Stop it, there will be a meeting of the royal family after this. Don't hurt her," Leo said again, giving a subtle warning.

Alpha Fredico hissed while waving his hot palms. He looked at Amrita with contempt.

"You'd better be careful with me," Alpha Fredico threatened in a low and sharp tone.

Amerta still held her cheek in awe. In all his life, she had never felt a slap from anyone, including Alpha Alvrada-her boyfriend. sensation of heat and pain on her cheeks now was painful, just like the feeling of worthlessness welling up in her heart.

"Do you need to slap me?" asked Amerta without looking at Alpha Fredico.

"I can give you something worse than a slap."

When Amerta's gaze turned to Alpha Fredico, making eye contact for a moment, Amerta knew that this figure in front of her didn't deserve to be her mate. Alpha Fredico's figure resembles Uncle Gobert.

"You don't need to feed this woman," said Alpha Fredico to Leo, but his gaze was fixed on Amerta. "Prepare her for the royal family meeting. Make her as pretty as possible."

After saying that, Alpha Fredico immediately turned around to walk away from Amerta and Leo. But his steps stopped when Amerta said something.

"I'll never said thank you for saving me."

Alpha Fredico didn't flinch without looking back. Amerta's words seeped into his mind. Only up to a matter of seconds, then Alpha Fredico laughed sarcastically.

"You'll wish you never said your words, Sweetie."

Then, Alpha Fredico continued his steps followed by Leo, leaving the atmosphere of this dungeon room. Leaving Amerta who doesn't understand what the Alpha's words mean.

After there was no one else in this prison room, Amerta leaned back. Her gaze wavered in the direction of Alpha Fredico and Leo's departure.

Does the nightmare never end?
