Revenge of the Broken Luna.

HANNAH

The sound of someone vomiting echoed throughout the room. She had been doing that for almost an hour now, yet it had not stopped. She kept vomiting as if to put out everything inside her, although there was nothing more. The woman sounded too hard to poke her throat and caused only bitterness to come out.

She seemed a pity, right?

Unfortunately, the female was me. I puked since I opened my eyes till I couldn't find anything to throw up. No, I wasn't sick. It was my pregnancy that caused me morning sickness.

I tilted my head up after finishing the last vomit. I just realized that the vomiting drained a lot of energy. Having nothing in the morning caused me to be too weak, like having no energy left. Still, I wanted this baby despite everything that had happened lately. I loved my baby.

Soon, I heard the door lock open, and I immediately knew who it was. Eliot, the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, someone that I gave all my love to. My mate. I smelled his cedarwood scent which instantly calmed my mind and body. I also felt the urge to vomit decrease. My baby knew the father.

"Are you vomiting again, huh?" His voice was full of satire, and I still didn't understand why he did that.

I didn't get to answer because something suddenly wanted to come out. So I positioned myself as before, hanging my head down in the closet to begin puking again. It pained me both physically and mentally, while it should be the other way around, as I had him nearby. A lone tear fell off to show how his words meant to me.

"Get up! We need to go to the hospital!"

And I couldn't hold tears from streaming down from my eyes. I was still vomiting, but my mate didn't even ask about my condition.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed my arm and then pulled me up forcefully. I tried to let go, but Eliot gripped it so hard that I felt pain there. And without words, he dragged me to follow him out of the bathroom.

"Let go of me! I won't follow you! You can't force me to do that!" I screamed like crazy at him to stop whatever his plan was for me. Unfortunately, he stopped listening to me on the day that changed my life upside down. I'm his mate. Even so, he refused to listen to me.

He took a forced halt, only to glare at me. I could feel anger surging out of him. "I'm not asking!" he hissed angrily before turning around and pulling me back with him. He didn't care about me anymore, and I felt the pain caused by his action on my body.

"No! I can't! I can't lose my baby!" I still tried my best, though I doubted the result. Fury had taken control of him, including his love for me and our time together.

We were already outside the bathroom when he took another stop and pushed me hard onto the wall. But he still gripped me tightly so I didn't hit the cold wall too hard and break my bones. I knew deep down he still loved me.

"Don't you hear me? I've never asked you. Besides, I won't let that bastard's seed in yours. I'll make sure I'll get rid of it today."

Or was it merely my hope?

"No, Eliot. Listen to me. This baby is yours. It's always yours."

He gritted his teeth while his eyes dilated into full black. "Don't ever say that! That thing is never mine."

My heart sank at that. Eliot didn't believe me.

"It's yours, El. It's ours."

His other hand flew up, grabbed my jaw, and tightened it until I could feel the pain there. "Which one you choose, to the hospital with me, or I beat you hard until that thing disappears?"

My hands automatically went to my belly and wrapped it as if protecting it from danger. "You can't do that to our baby!"

"I can." He breathed over my face. "And I have full right to decide the moment you cheated on me."

"I've never cheated on you. What you saw wasn't what really happened. I didn't know why I ended up with him." I tried to re-tell the story behind the incident that caused this situation.

"Then tell me about the pain I had. I wouldn't feel that except if you went intimate with him."

I swallowed hard. Honestly, I didn't know how it could happen, though I never did something to cheat on my mate. I loved him very much, and there was no room for anyone but him.

"But it doesn't matter anymore. I think Goddess understands what happened between us, so she already gave me a second chance. I found a new mate to replace you, to be my luna."

"No!" I couldn't help but scream at him. That couldn't happen, as I still felt a mate bond between us. I still smelled him like before, and the sparks were the same. That meant we were still mated to each other, right?

"Please, El, believe me. I swear to the Moon Goddess that I've never cheated on you, and this baby is yours."

Eliot gritted his teeth more, and his grip on my jaw tightened. "Be careful of what you say, darling, because everything will turn back on you at the very worst."

"No, Goddess will punish you for that."

An evil smirk formed on his handsome face. I used to adore him so much as I had never seen any male better than my mate.

Unfortunately, today wasn't the day I could spoil my eyes with his perfect figure, and I didn't know when I would get that opportunity again.

"Goddess is on my side now. She let me uncover you cheating on me and now giving me the second mate. What I only need to do is get rid of that fucking baby, and my life will be perfect."

"No. Please, El. Don't do that. I will do whatever you want as long as you spare our baby's life."

"Yeah, you will do that after we abort his seed inside you."

"No, El. Please."

"Alpha."

My head snapped at the familiar voice joining in our useless conversation. I saw Casey, my omega and best friend, taking steps toward us. My hope was raised at the thought I would have someone to back me off.

"Let me take her to the hospital."

HANNAH

"Please let me go." I didn't know how many times I begged Casey to set me free since Eliot handed me over to her. Tiny hope in my heart instantly died out as I realized she was on his side, not mine, as the best friends we used to be. I knew it probably related to her position as Omega and my mate as Alpha. Still, at least, she should show me her concern instead of her cold expression.

She didn't reply and was just silent when Eliot's men dragged me to a designated room for me in the hospital. Don't ask me why I didn't beg them to release me because I did it so many times, and the result was the same. No responses.

Soon, we reached my room, and only then did they let me go.

"Don't think of running away because they already watch all exit way, including this room," Casey told me after those men walked out, only to stop in front of this room. What she said might be true. Eliot ensured that there was no room for me to slip away.

"Why are you doing this to me?" I asked before she proceeded to the door to leave me alone in this cold and small room. The hospital always gave me an eerie feeling.

"Because I have to do this for my Alpha. We must erase you from our lives."

My brows furrowed at her words. We? Our lives? Who was she referring to?

"Oh, in case you haven't heard this. I'm Alpha Eliot's new mate, the second mate he talked about before. I'm going to replace you as his Luna."

My eyes widened in shock. No. It was impossible. The goddess wouldn't let that happen because we were still mated to each other. I could feel that. He was still mine.

While I was still in complete shock, she continued to speak. "So, back off and stay away from our lives. You mean nothing to him anymore. Do you understand?"

Then she left me dumbfounded. And before she disappeared, she ordered the men in front of my room to keep their eyes on me. Meanwhile, I could only freeze in place. My brain was digesting the information hard.

But before I could understand everything, I felt drops running down my cheeks. I cried and let the tears take over me for the umpteenth time.

I didn't know which one hurt me more. Eliot had another mate, or I would lose my baby-our baby. These were too much for me to take. I lost everything I had just in a month.

I fell to my knees as I couldn't hold the pain anymore. My family, my previous pack, my current pack, my mate, and my baby... I lost them all and had no one to depend on anymore. I was alone, and that thought scared me.

I wanted to scream, but to whom? To the Moon Goddess? She was kind enough to give me life, though it became painful now. However, I still held good on her that there was a positive in every fate she threw at us. Although it seemed not like that at all. Maybe I could have a happy ending after these tragic events. Perhaps Eliot's heart would soften someday, and all I had to do was only bear with him by his side.

But I couldn't see the future anymore with the information Eliot and Casey gave about them becoming a mate. It was dark as if it was the end of my journey. Worst, the dark suddenly surrounded me like I was put in a black box.

Then, was it really the Goddess' mistake to toss this cruel fate to me?

What about Eliot, who didn't want to listen to my explanation?

What about him, that didn't accept his baby?

And what about my mate, that wouldn't acknowledge me as his Luna anymore?

Eliot was betraying me by breaking our promise of love and being faithful to each other forever. He was hurting me by doing them all.

I hated him, yet I couldn't erase my feelings for him. I loved him since I knew what love was.

I was crying, taking out the pain that had trampled my chest.

--

I was lost in my thought when the doctor came and injected something into the infusion attached to my hand. She said something about the time and operation, but I guessed I didn't hear her properly as my mind was wandering away.

I could finally get myself together as Casey entered the room. She glanced at me before beelining toward the doctor with a brown envelope in her hand.

"I already injected anesthetic. She's ready to transport to the operation room." The doctor reported my condition to her.

A smug smile was tugged on Casey's lips as she replied, "Good. And this is your payment." She then handed a brown envelope to her.

The doctor received it and took a quick look before returning her attention to her. "It's all good then."

"Yes. Make it as natural as possible. I don't want any suspicion."

"Sure. Losing too much blood is perfect. It most likely happens in an abortion. No one will question that."

My brows furrowed at their odd conversation. I felt something wasn't right, and I was sure they were talking about me. Abortion and the operation room were enough clues as those were where I was heading to.

But losing blood?

"Good. Make sure she'll die today."

"Yes, Luna."

Wait. Die? Was I going to die?

"I'm not officially a Luna."

"Soon, after she dies, you'll be Luna of our pack."

I looked at Casey in disbelief. Did she plan all of this? To kill me?

I was in a rage. I wanted to shout at them, telling them how crazy they were, when I realized nothing had come out of my mouth. No. I couldn't even move my lips. I felt numb all over my body, and soon my eyes grew heavier.

Oh, no! I was going to die, but I couldn't do anything to fight for my life.

And before everything went dark, I glared at them with complete hatred. If I really died today, I would haunt them for the rest of their lives.

ELIOT

I never meant it to happen. I just wanted to kill that bastard's baby, not her.

I felt two snaps when I was about to dive into a long night in my office, as I usually did for over a month. It was bond-breaking, and I knew they were not from my men because I didn't get any report about an attack or someone dying, except Hannah and her baby. And the news came soon from the hospital that they were dead. Hannah and our baby were dead.

I finally could feel a bond between us, which confirmed her words that the baby was mine. Still, it didn't lower my hatred for her for cheating on me. But it didn't matter anymore, as they were dead now. They were no longer with me in this world anymore.

I couldn't describe my feelings right now. Anger, disappointment, sadness, and guilty mixed into one. But one thing. I didn't feel any happiness at all. I now knew the truth, and it was already too late even for just feeling them all.

I shouldn't be here. I should be with Hannah since we promised to stay together forever. Yet I let her die alone. I was such a coward, wasn't I?

I knew Kai, my wolf, agreed with me this time. He always sided with her, even at the time I caught Hannah and Ken sleeping on the same bed, naked. He told me to hear her explanation, but I chose to ignore him.

Maybe he was right all this time. Maybe Hannah didn't cheat on me, and, as she said, she didn't know why she ended up with him. Although it was true, I shouldn't torture her and kill my own baby. I should give her proper rejection so we could move on in peace.

However, it was too painful to accept. My body was hurt, and so was my soul. And her death crushed the fragile side of me.

--

I drank half a bottle of whiskey in one gulp. I didn't need glass because it only tortured me to have it little by little. And I wanted to see my Hannah soon, look at her beautiful face, staring at her cerulean eyes, and have her warm smile to calm me down. And the easiest way was to let my mind fly to her.

I took another gulp, and in an instant, a bottle was already empty. But strangely, I still couldn't find my lovely Hannah. Where was she?

Maybe this wasn't enough.

Thus, I put the empty bottle randomly and trudged over to the cabinet, where I placed a lot of booze inside. My alcohol tolerance was pretty high. But I only had them occasionally as my Luna wanted me not drunk to carry out my responsibility as Alpha.

Luna.

My Luna.

My Hannah.

I opened the second bottle and drank it fast to hold back my tears. And by the time I breathed in deep, I had emptied over half of it. I blinked at the surrounding, searching for figures I missed so much. Still nothing. Why didn't Hannah show up? Was she mad at me?

She must do. There was no reason she wasn't angry at me. I hurt her.

I hurt both of them.

Again, I gulped the second drink, and in a minute, I already had a third one in my hand and was ready to savor it. Fucked the Alpha's job. I needed to have this to meet her.

"Alpha!"

I faintly heard someone calling me, also a familiar scent. But somehow, it couldn't calm me down.

"Eliot!" Casey quickly reached for me and tried to take the bottle in my hand. "Enough!" She shouted again after the bottle was in her hand.

I let out a guttural growl, knowing she succeeded in stopping me, and I was angry about that. No one could order an Alpha.

"Stop drinking this. You've got what you want. That whore is dead, and you're now free of her. No one-"

She couldn't finish her words as I launched a quick movement and cornered her between the wall and me. My hand was on her neck, trying hard not to crush it while rage took over me. "Don't dare to call her like that!"

"Why not? Isn't she like that? She cheated on you, so she's a whore. Everyone calls her by that." Casey confronted me with eyes flaring at me as if telling me the truth.

Yeah, I knew what my people called Hannah. A whore, cheater, and more. It was ultimately different from before-they used to accept her wholly and happily. That was why I had to lock her so she couldn't hear them. Only I had the right to say those words to her.

I gritted my teeth hard as my grip on her neck tightened. I hated her speaking like that about my Hannah!

"Alpha... you're... hurting... me," Casey said word by word in difficulty. She looked in pain, but I didn't care. "Please... don't... do... this. I'm... your... mate."

Hearing those words only made my anger grow more intense. The mate bond used to calm me down. My mate's bond with Hannah was like that.

Strangely, it didn't work the same way with her. I didn't feel anything except the scent, which wasn't special anymore. And my wolf agreed with me.

"E... li... ot."

And that was the climax. I felt hatred surging out of my body as I threw myself away from her.

I heard her coughing, but I didn't turn around, instead proceeding to the cabinet to grab the... I couldn't remember how many times I took whiskey from here. Not that I cared to count because I didn't. What I cared about was only to see my Hannah.

"Don't ever enter this room without my permission," I warned her without giving my attention back to her.

"Alpha."

I ignored her as I began opening the bottle.

"You need to stay alive for our union ceremony tomorrow."

I didn't hear or pretended not to listen to that and started drinking the whiskey.

"Eliot."

My grip on the bottle tightened when she called me by my name. I never liked that.

"Please help me be your Luna and-"

"You'll have that." I cut her fast. I was afraid listening to her longer would trigger my anger back.

Silence. There was the only sound of me gulping whiskey.

"Can't you love me as you did to Hannah?" Her voice sounded begging, but I still gave her my back.

"You'll be my Luna and produce my heir. Just that."

There was no way I could replace Hannah in my heart. I placed her there long before I knew she was my mate, and erasing her was impossible.

"Eliot." She used the same tone, but I stood in my stance.

"And you better call me Alpha."
