The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 456

101 - Elara

What the hell happened in the last twenty minutes? Ben doesn’t hesitate to follow me. We leave the barrier investigation alone for now. Jason calling for help is a sign from the Goddess where we are needed. The hesitation is over. We shift and run, and I start to feel the exhaustion Ben was talking about after our encounter with Junior.

Maybe that was the plan all along, to wear us down running all over the pack. It’s a smart move with the kind of power she has. Eliza’s not wasting any of her warriors fighting uselessly, but sending us on wild goose chases. Copyright ©️ 2025 Miss L Writes and Ember Mantel Productions

“Jason? Is everyone out and safe?”

“I think so, Alpha. I’m waiting on Brianna and Marietta to check in once they’ve done a head count of all their people. Marge and Melanie are helping me with the wolves that were in residence. There seem to be a few stragglers and I don’t know if anyone has checked the cells for our prisoners.”

“Talk us through this fire.” I open the link up to Ben so he can hear while we run. “What are we walking into?”

“It started small, at the back of the packhouse, near your office, I think. My guess is you were onto something and getting too close, Alpha. Jax and Dev arrived just as it was really spreading. It smells like normal fire, but it’s blue and green and I don’t see any smoke. The heat is intense too. Brianna and a few witches, I can’t remember their names, had the flames in a kind of bubble and it was slowing down, then out of nowhere it flared up and took out half the house.”

“It must have found what it was looking for.” I mentally run through all the things I could have in the packhouse that a witch might want. Something tells me it’s not paperwork or maps. They clearly don’t give a sh*t about ownership by purchase or legacy. What else could my father have had that they want or need this desperately? “We’re close. Just a heads up, We think Malcom might be under control again. He’s got a nasty spell on his border, we aren’t sure if it’s to keep us out or him in, but he isn’t coming to our aid.”

“One of the warriors was talking about an invisible weapon. That must have been it. See you soon.” I can feel his link is open, but he is clearly focused on whatever is going on around him.

Ben and I burst through the forest and I understand Jason’s inability to explain what this fire is. Emerald and blue flames engulf the packhouse, but it looks like an image projected on the building. If I didn’t feel the heat and see the scorch marks, I wouldn't believe it is real.

What I find surprising is all the witches circling the house, hands raised, humming. My wolves, warriors and omegas, are walking an outer perimeter, protecting them. They are all so close, how is the heat not melting them?

Ben splits off from me as I find and move toward Brianna. I shift and once I move into Brianna’s personal space the heat dissipates completely.
