Female Alpha: Shadow of the Luna

Alex Lunaria's POV

Years gone, the Ashwood pack was cursed by the moon goddess, preventing male children from being born, and only male alphas could rule the pack.

This was the fate my father gave me when he was still alive. After my birth, my father announced to the pack that the moon goddess accepted his prayer.

'An heir has been born.'

He decided to turn me into an heir, making me learn to rule like a male Alpha, and here I am today, still carrying my father's reputation as

'Lunaria.'

The sun shone directly into my chamber, hitting the mirror and casting a light reflection on my face. I groaned and turned away from the bed.

With my eyes still closed, still sleeping, I suddenly realized it was morning as a knock sounded on my door.

I jumped out of bed with my messy hair and nightgown, walking towards the mirror. I cleared my throat.

'Who is there?' I asked in a deep voice, wincing as I forced my voice deeper.

'It's me, Maya. It's time to dress you, my alpha," she said from behind the door.

My gaze drifted back to the mirror, scanning my reflection with a mix of frustration, seeing myself looking feminine, dressed in my favorite gown from last night before going to sleep.

'Alpha will dress himself up,' I replied with my voice deeper, still looking at the mirror.

After a moment, I stood still and sniffed the air to see if she was gone.

A heavy breath escaped my lips, and my shoulders sagged in defeat. Disguising myself as a male had not been easy.

I sat down in front of the mirror, picked out my green eyeshadow, and applied it, wincing with tears in the corner of my eyes, making me look handsome like the man I was pretending to be.

I styled my short hair into a bob, put on a ribbon with beads for decoration, and went to my wardrobe to bring out a white cloth wrap.

'I have to do this again,' I whispered in my normal voice, taking off my nightgown and wrapping the white cloth around my chest to flatten it.

Finally dressed in my royal attire, this was my routine every morning. While standing at the mirror, another knock sounded.

I sniffed and knew it was Sophia, my Luna. She was nothing but my fake mate, claimed for me by my father before he died.

'Come in,' I said in my deep manly voice. She opened the door, dressed in a beautiful ball gown. I gulped, wishing I could wear something like that too.

'My alpha, I have missed you. I was surprised that you haven't touched me ever since you claimed me as your mate,' she said, with a frown creasing her forehead.

I looked at her for a second. "What made you think I won't touch you?" I asked, fixing my gaze on her.

'Just touch me, alpha. The council will start asking for an heir, and my heat period is coming soon.

I could feel it, her voice cracked, looking like she could even beg me to touch her.

She stepped closer to me, her eyes pleading. I lifted my arm and placed it on her shoulder as we both fixed our gaze on each other.

'Touch me, alpha!' she said slowly, her voice husky. I found my hand moving towards her jaw, looking at her.

'It is not yet time.' I said, before she could say a word, I placed my lips on hers, kissing her passionately. I cut the kiss with my words 'Not now' and walked away.

Escaping her was the best thing to do. I couldn't believe that I kissed my fellow female. I walked out of my chambers, and immediately my guards followed with my Beta.

'Good morning, alpha,' he said, trying to catch up with my walking pace.

'Go on,' I said without replying to his greetings.

'We are having a meeting with the seven councils,' he informed me.

The council were like my elders, with whom I consulted and discussed matters about the pack. It was unusual for them to have a meeting without informing me.

'They are currently at the palace,' he said.

'Alright then,' I stopped in front of the chambers. My beta was second in command, Louis, signaled, and the guards opened the doors. I stepped into the passage of the palace, with all eyes fixed on me.

'All hail, the mighty Alpha Alex Lunaria of the Ashwood pack, the bloodline to the Lunaria."

'All hail,' everyone bowed. Each step I took made me feel mighty until I reached my throne. I turned towards them.

'You can all rise,' I said, sitting down. Then, one guard made another announcement.

'All hail, Sophia Mech Lunaria, the Luna of the Ashwood pack.' She walked in with her blue ball gown and her hair in a ponytail.

Everyone bowed as she reached the throne and sat next to me.

'Lift up your heads,' I commanded, and their heads were lifted. I turned my gaze towards Sophia and gave her a broad smile.

"So, what matters are arising in the pack?" I asked. One of the council members stepped in.

"The issue arising is the rumor flying around that the Alpha is impotent." Those words triggered me, and he fell to his knees.

'I'm sorry, Your Highness, I didn't mean to,' he said, his voice cracking with fear. I laughed out loud, and everyone stared at me strangely.

'Impotent!' I clenched the fist of my throne in annoyance.

'Let the one who spoke those words be brought to me,' I bellowed, still clenching the fist of my throne.

Immediately, some guards barged in, bringing a guy drenched in blood to the palace and threw him in front of me.

'You said those words. Who sent you?' I asked, trying to retain my anger.

'It's your L...' he stammered, unable to finish his words. My Luna stood up angrily, grabbed a sword from one of the guards, and sliced his head off.

'No one dares call my Alpha impotent!'

'Take Luna to her chamber and clean him up,' I ordered, and my Luna was immediately taken to her room. I could see the rage in her.

'Your highness, we really need an heir,' one of the elders said.

'Cut his throat,' I bellowed.

Alex Lunaria POV

The sun retired, hiding under the shadow of darkness. It was late, and today had been a very stressful day.

'Guards, you can all take a break,' I said to them.

'Thank you, Your Alpha,' they replied. I opened the door of my room and locked it so no one could break in.

It was time, I opened the window, letting out a deep sigh. I went towards the mirror, taking off my costume and finally freeing myself as a lady again.

I went towards my window, naked, peeping through the corners of the palace to make sure I dismissed everyone. Without any thought, I jumped from my window, growling as I transformed into my female wolf.

Running through the woods, my heart ached with anticipation as I approached the Skywood pack, jumping the border into the Skywood pack.

At the Skywood pack:

'Announce me to the alpha right now,' I uttered in my womanly voice, dressed as I was naturally.

'Alright, my Luna.'

'Your Alpha, the Luna to the Skywood throne is here, your beloved mate,' he announced with a deep voice.

'Let her in.' The door was opened for me immediately, and I walked into my mate's chamber.

Sniffing his aura was captivating and intriguing. I saw him sitting on his bed in his chamber.

Micheal Alpharia was my true mate, whom I claimed when I was still a teen.

During the time my father was still on the throne, I normally sneaked out of the palace to the Skywood kingdom, but ever since my father died, I had to stay more often in the ashwood pack.

'Where have you been, Luna?' His voice was laced with concern as he asked.

'Did I come too late?' I walked towards him. "Yes, it's funny how you disappear from my side every dawn," he kept talking as I walked up to him.

'I'm Luna with responsibilities,' I said, still walking up to him while seated on his bed, leaning. Our lips met in a gentle, tender kiss, the warmth of his skin soothing my own.

'Can we keep the discussion and move to the game, Michael Alpharia?' I said, teasing him.

'Whenever you're ready, I'm ready, Luna,' he replied, grabbing my waist and making me sit on his lap. He flattered me with kisses, tracing his lips down to my shoulder.

'Oh, precious divine,' he muffled.

'Anytime I see your mark on your shoulder, it makes me grow wide,' he said teasingly.

'Oh, I'm flattered, Michael. It's a precious gift.' I went towards my clothes directly, pulling my Gown up, revealing all my breasts with the erected nipples standing, every touch on his body giving me goosebumps.

I wrapped my hands around his head. 'It's fucking good to be a woman,' I moaned softly, the feeling of being touched by a loved one arousing me.

I twisted my body on his lap little by little, following the beat ringing in my head.

As we kept trailing his tongue around my breast, sending shivers down my spine when he landed on my erected nipple.

All I could think of was him, nothing more, nothing like a palace. I just wanted to be treated like a woman.

I slowly rubbed my hands around his back, trailing down to the tip of his top, pulling it as I kept twisting my body on him.

He went, and I gently pulled down in a slow way, kneeling down, with my hands trailing down to his trousers, pulling them down.

'Have me, baby,' I muffled, with the lust in his eyes, his eyes glowing. My wolf giggled inside, and I could feel the hotness running through my veins as he brought out his dick.

'If I give it to you, will you give me an heir?' he stood up, exposing his gigantic figure, muscular chest, and firm abs.

Lost in lust, he lifted me up, his mouth meeting mine. We devoured each other's lips, the sound of our kisses echoing around us.

†††††††

'Oh, Moon goddess,' I uttered, laying backward on the bed, my chest beating fast with excitement.

'Do you like it?' Michael asked, laying next to me. I turned and nodded, a smile spreading on my lips.

'I want you to stay with me and not leave me,' he said, gazing at me and holding my hand close to him.

'I have to go.' Those words changed his attitude, and he immediately let go of my hands, turning to the other side without looking at me.

I moved close to him, rubbing his chest with my hands. 'I know I don't have any excuse, but my father from the other pack needs me. I can't let him die without seeing me,' I said somberly.

'It's alright if you don't want to talk to me.' I was about to remove my hand from his chest when he held it.

'I'm so sorry you have to bear this alone. I'm full of responsibilities. I would have followed you to see your father, but an alpha does not leave his kingdom,' he turned towards me.

'I'm sorry,' kissing my hand, he apologized.

'It's okay. I just want you to know I will always be by your side."

††† (Dawn)

The cool breeze of the new day was approaching. I sniffed the air and opened my eyes. It was time to leave. I looked at Michael beside me, fast asleep.

'You will be fine,' I smiled, placing a kiss on his forehead before leaving his side.

I stood up immediately. It was still dawn, and the light hadn't begun to shine. I could still transform.

I howled, jumping out of my window and running through the woods. I wondered how Michael would feel waking up without seeing me.

'Ouch,' I winced in pain as I stepped on my left foot while entering my chambers. I tiptoed and quickly put my costume back on.

'Damn! She's here again.'

'Don't bother knocking, come in,' I said in my deep voice. Sophia walked in with a tray of coffee and a broad smile on her lips.

'Your Highness, don't you think you deserve an early morning coffee?' she asked, her smile making it look awkward.

'This is strange,' the words escaped from my lips.

'Alright, thank you, dear,' I said, taking the coffee from her. "Please drink it.' A sense of suspicion crept in, but I gulped it down, overjoyed after being treated like a lady at night.

Not long after, I started feeling dizzy, still seeing Sophia, my Luna, with an awkward smile approaching on her lips.

Alex Lunaria's POV

Waking up, I stretched my hand, rubbing my head. It aches, and I sense something suspicious. I tried to recollect what happened after drinking the coffee.

'Coffee,' I stammered, jumping up from my bed.

'What has she done?' I scratched my head in confusion.

'Where is Luna Sophia?' Those words escaped from my mind. I quickly touched my chest to see if she had realized my secret.

'Guards!' I yelled from the inside.

'Yes, Alpha,' one of the guards opened the door.

'Get me Sophia now!' I bellowed.

'I'm afraid she is yet to return from her trip," he bowed his head.

'Trip,' I repeated the word, my eyebrow raised.

'Where did she just go?' Before completing my statement, Sophia walked in elegantly, rendering me speechless.

'Leave us,' she commanded as the guard exited.

'Where have you been, Luna?' I asked her.

'I've been busy with a lot of work. I needed to fix some things in place," she said with a broad smile appearing on her cheek.

'Fix what?' I asked.

'You don't need to know,' she gazed at me, making me nervous. 'Alpha,' she added with a broad smile.

'Can I have an idea of what you did to me?' I asked her, raising my eyebrow.

'What did I do? The shock of ignorance appeared on her face.

'Don't you understand what I was saying?" I asked.

'I'm sorry, Alpha. It seems you really had a stressful day. You should relax..." Before completing her words.

'The beta of the Ashwood pack has arrived, Louis,' the guard outside announced.

'Tell him to hold on,' I said while he was walking towards me.

"Your Alpha, a war is approaching," he said with his heart beating fast.

'Which war?' I asked, confused.

'The Skywood pack wants to expand their territory since you are yet to have an heir.' Immediately he uttered the word heir, I felt nauseous and rushed towards the window, vomiting.

'Are you okay, my Alpha?' Louis asked, walking towards me. I stopped him with my other hand from coming further.

'Call the council for a meeting,' I said, still trying to catch my breath.

I walked away from the window, went straight to my bathroom, and poured some water on my face.

'Alpha!' Sophia yelled from my chamber.

'What's going on?' I walked out to her, pretending to be okay.

'I heard there's a war approaching since I don't have an heir, the other pack wants to expand their territory,' panic written all over her face.

'Don't worry, Lun...' before finishing those words, I rushed into the bathroom and vomited again.

I could feel Sophia walking inside. 'Are you okay, Alpha?" she asked me. I nodded, covering my mouth, and finally picking up the bowl to rinse my face.

Standing up, Sophia was confused by what she was seeing. 'Are you okay, Alpha?" I nodded.

'I just ate the wrong food,' I walked out.

'I will be back shortly,' I left my chambers immediately to avoid any further suspicions. I realized I was finally pregnant; the nausea and everything are symptoms.

'I hope I don't get exposed,' I sighed, touching my belly as I reached the palace. A lot of arguments were going on.

'Enough!' I yelled, and everyone turned their gaze at me. 'Your Highness,' they all bowed.

With one eyebrow raised, I asked, 'So can someone tell me what business we have with the other packs waging war?'

'The Skywood pack wants to increase their territory, that's why, and they are planning to wage war on us,' my Gamma said.

'Wage war? Skywood pack?' I asked in surprise.

'Yes, the greedy Skywood pack wants to claim this place as their territory,' Louis said.

'So, what plans have we made?' I asked everyone as they all looked at their faces with no response. I folded my hands in anger.

'And if that's the case, why are there rumors spreading about me not having an heir, that's why they want war?' I asked in annoyance.

'Your Highness, rumors are rumors. This is the major message we received; they want their territory expanded since the alpha is impotent and has no land for bastards,' the gamma uttered without thinking twice. I chuckled with my brow raised.

'Seize him for being a traitor,' I walked away angrily.

(Skywood pack)

'You are back again, my midnight damsel,' he hugged me tight.

'Everyone here wants to meet their Luna. They are worried about you, thinking I hid you on purpose,' he added, dropping me down.

'Don't believe what they say. Guess what?' I giggled.

'I'm finally having your heir,' I said with excitement.

'You mean an heir?' he lifted me up again and spun me around, but I wasn't happy that my own mate would be attacking my pack.

'Michael,' I uttered, and he stopped.

'What's your next move?' I asked him.

'Guess what too? I will be expanding our territory for you and my unborn heir,' he leaned towards my belly, kissing the stomach.

'Don't attack the Ashwood pack,' I couldn't hide the pain.

'Why should I? And how do you know about my plans?' he asked.

'If you love me, don't do that,' I said to him. He lifted me up.

'Ashwood pack will be under my captivity. It's for the both of us,' he leaned to kiss me, but I didn't reciprocate.

'I will take my leave. My father's sickness is getting worse; he needs me,' I sadly leaned towards him, kissing his cheek, and went out this time without jumping or transforming into my wolf.

While walking through the woods, I could smell the air and felt something strange. 'Is there anybody there?' I asked, seeing a shadow run away.
