Selling Myself To The Alpha
Chapter 164

Liana POV

I make it outside just in time before the nausea takes over.

Quickly I bend over and return my lunch. The smell inside the quarters is too much for my condition. I cannot stand decent food, there is no way I can stand the stench. "Love, are you okay?" Axel asks concerned as he gently rubs my back.

"Just peachy," I grunt and wipe my mouth. "I cannot go back in, Axel. I'm sorry."

"Can I get you anything?" He asks sympathetically.

"Philip," I growl. "I need to have a word with him."

Adele and Luther are more than capable of handling the situation inside the quarters. And I need a release for my anger before it consumes me and harms my baby.

"Are you sure?" He asks cautiously as I march back." Wouldn't it be better if I take you home? Maybe ask Michelle to give you something to calm down?"

"I am calm," I shout over my shoulder and keep walking." I'm simply enraged, that's all. No need to worry about me."

"I'm not worried about you" Axel says quickly. "I'm worried about what you'll do."

"Well, it's not like I could kill him, is it?" I sneer. "His organs have already been promised, and I'm not going back on my word. And beating the shit out of him is a much healthier way to calm down than to take pills."

I open the car's trunk and take out the tire iron. Axel exhales deeply but does not stop me as I storm towards Philip. I said I was enraged, but that was an understatement - I am manic with fury.

"You sick fvck," I shout, and Philip's eyes widen.

I strike him with all my might against his shoulders and he falls on his face.

"Luna, no" Reese steps forward to intervene.

"Leave her," Axel orders. "Because if she doesn't do it, I will and I will not have the self-control to stop."

"Hateful piece of shit," I strike him over and over across his shoulders until I am panting for air and my arms are tired.

Philip is lying at my feet whimpering and crying.

"You'll heal," I toss the tire iron aside. "I will keep you alive until we destroy your empire. There's not enough holy water on this planet to cleanse the earth from your stench. This place will be burned to the ground. There will be nothing left of your legacy. Only then will we cut you into pieces and donate your organs. But you'll be alive. You'll feel every cut until your heart stops beating."

"Lock him up at Fantasy Island," I look at Mike. "And guard him at all times. Let's see how he likes his own quarters."

Mike and Chris carry Philip away to lock him up and Axel walks to me.

"Feeling better?" he smiles.

"Thank you for understanding me," I sigh and throw my arms around his waist. I close my eyes and inhale his scent deeply. "I needed that."

"You're welcome," he kisses me softly. "Let's go to Philip's office and gather evidence."

"I was serious about burning this place," I say as we walk to the office. "We should have a meeting with all the alphas and ask who's willing to help. Dark Moon members can get the opportunity to choose a pack they want to join." "Once the alphas hear what's been happening here, they'll gladly agree," he replies.

Adele POV

I am staring at the sky fighting my tears. Keeping a straight face while helping everybody out of the quarters, is the hardest thing I had to do in my entire life. Not even fighting off a pack of wolves has drained me this much. A shower will wash off the dirt, but not the emotional scars.

Everyone is malnourished and scared out of their minds. A lifetime of therapy might not be enough for them to heal.

"Where are you taking them?" Lilly asks softly. She does not look directly at me, and I know that even a simple question like this took a tremendous amount of courage from her. At Dark Moon, you did not question your alpha. "To Clear Moon," I reply sympathetically. "Moonstone's hospital currently doesn't have open beds. Don't worry, Lilly, the lockdown is only temporary and for your own good.

Once we have all the parties in custody, you'll be free to do whatever you want."

"Okay," she cautiously looks up and instantly turns pale.

"What's wrong?" I frown and look in the direction she is staring.

"Dear goddess," I mutter under my breath when I see Mike and Chris dragging Philip to the quarters.

"What happened?" I ask.

"Luna Liana"" Mike grins. "She said he needs a taste of his own medicine and must reside in the quarters."

"See that?" I whisper to Lilly. "That man will never harm anybody ever again."

Axel POV

"That's everyone," Luther states when the last van's door closes.

"Thanks," I nod. "We'll take it from here and keep you posted."

"Is Liana okay?" He whispers while glancing at her.

"She is now," I cross my arms in front of my chest. My hands were itching to join her in beating up Philip, but I knew myself. I will kill the bastard. Besides, she needed to blow off steam. That kind of anger was not good for the pregnancy. "She gets all the fun," Luther snorts.

"We all felt the need to do it," I admit and say goodbye before getting into the car. "But we'll get our turn. Philip's demise is not going to be quick."

It is silent in the car as we drive home. Liana and I are sitting in the back, and she has fallen asleep against my chest.

"I appreciate you allowing me to come along," Reese says from the front seat. "If I didn't see it myself, I would've never believed it."

"We knew he was up to no good," I reply softly as we pull up at the back of the hospital. "But we had no idea it was so bad."

"You allow your Luna a lot of freedom," Reese says, and I can tell he disapproves.

"Do you have a mate?" I ask amused.

"Haven't found her yet," he shrugs. "But I'm patient."

"Well revisit this conversation when you replace her," I smirk."

Until then, you cannot imagine what you'll do and allow.

Especially when she's strong-willed."

Liana wakes up when Mike opens her door, and we end our conversation. Guards are everywhere shielding us from curious eyes as the medical personnel help everyone inside. "Liana," a woman calls out and I am surprised to see Missy coming our way.

"Thank goddess, you're all right," she hugs Liana tightly.

How's my brother?"

"Unscathed," Liana smiles.

"Thank you," she closes her eyes briefly. "I was worried sick.

We heard all the stories but without confirmation, I refused to believe it."

"Stories, huh?" I look at Liana. "I guess it's time for a pack meeting to kill all possible rumours."

"Like the one about Liana shooting a crossbow?" Missy raises her eyebrows.

"No," I shake my head. "That one's true."

"Where are the days when you needed me to save you?"

Missy grins mischievously.

"Well, I ..."

"Excuse me," Reese interrupts us as he walks towards

Missy.

Their eyes lock and the tension is tangible while they stare at each other in silence. Liana gasps softly when Reese pulls Missy against his chest and kisses her as if his life depended on it. I guess Reese found his mate, I mind-link Liana.

Before Liana can reply, Missy pulls back and slaps Reese across the face.

"I don't care who you are," she hisses at him while he dumbstruck wipes his glowing, red cheek. "Alpha, Omega, or my mate, I don't care. Nobody touches me without consent." "But..."

"No buts," Missy cuts him off. "This is not the Stone Age.

You don't get to drag me by my hair to your cave. If you want me to accept you, you'll court me like the gentlemen I deserve."

"Court you?" Reese looks like he just received a death sentence.

"Yes," she says firmly. "Flowers, dinners and diamonds are the bare minimum because I'm worth so much more."

Missy looks him up and down before she turns around and storms away.

"What just happened?" Reese looks at me flabbergasted."

I'm an alpha and her mate. She should be delighted."

"Please," Liana rolls her eyes. "You're not all that because you're an alpha. She's also an alpha descendant and a successful business owner."

"You're the one that should be delighted," Liana presses her finger accusingly against his chest before she walks into the hospital.

"I need recommendations," Reese looks at me pleadingly."

Your best jewellery store and restaurant. You heard her, I need to get my game on."

"Man, you're screwed," I chuckle heartily. "Your mate owns the best restaurant."

Reese's face falls and I tap him on the back.

"Told you," I laugh and follow Liana.
