The Unloved Luna Queen
Chapter 3

Colton

I woke up as the sun rays made their way into my room through the window making me groan atthe light disturbing my sleep. I mean I only have a few days left before I am crowned as the kingand I want to be able to enjoy the remaining days as best as I can. Once I become the Alpha King Iam barely going to be able to sleep in late or do whatever I want.

Yes, that's right, I am going to be crowned as the Alpha King soon. I am Colton Flynn Lawson, thenext inline Alpha King of the royal Midnight Moon Pack. I am loved by everyone including myparents, family, friends and pack members. I am a part of the strongest pack in New York, we arelocated at the "Ferris Lake forest in Hamilton, New York.” Our neighbouring pack is our biggest allyand the second largest and strongest pack in New York.

I completed my high school and then went for Alpha training that every next inline Alpha has toattend for two years and being the next inline king meant I had to work harder than the otherAlpha's.

I came back a few days ago after completing the training and I couldn't be happier because thesetwo years have been the most difficult two years as I had to spend them away from my love PatrinaShe is a very beautiful girl whom I have loved since my childhood and I want her to be my mate.

I couldn't take over my responsibilities as the king as I had to wait for my mate. Patrina is thedaughter of our pack's Beta, she is very kind, caring and strong. I want her to be my chosen queen ifshe doesn't turn out to be my mate.

I had a bit of trouble with my family as my parents don't approve of Patrina and the logic of achosen queen but after a lot of discussions and objections from my end we came to a bargain thatafter Patrina’s 18th birthday we would wait for a few months to see if either of us replace our true mate.If we do not replace our true mate before my cornation is scheduled then I will be able to choosePatrina as my queen. I just hope that Patrina is my true mate, I have a few days before we can replaceout if we are mates. Her birthday is this weekend and I can't wait for it.

To be honest no one is happy about my decision of being with Patrina, everyone, my parents, mybaby sister Lavender and even both of my best friends, Dylan who is the next inline Alpha of theCrescent Moon pack and Stephen who is my Beta and best friend, he is also Patrina's brother still heis against us but I love her and I don't want to be with anyone else.

Before I was involved with Patrina, I was attracted to Dylan's twin sister Darcy and I am going to behonest she is the most beautiful girl I have ever laid my eyes on. I feel like an invisible force pulls metowards her but she is not good enough to be my queen.

She has the most beautiful she-wolf with unique violet coloured eyes that captivate me, but as I saidshe is not fit to be my queen because she is not strong enough to be a queen. Being an Alphafemale she had to be dominant and fierce but she is a very kind hearted girl. She is loving, caring,smart and beautiful but I have never seen her strength in anything, she is always calm and her faceholds a beautiful smile every time I see her.

Although Dylan says she is good at fighting and she can be stronger than any other she-wolf if theneed arises but I have never seen her strength so you can't fully believe what you hear because sheis considered weak by her own parents and her pack doesn't respect or care whether she exists ornot.

Even after being treated invisible by her parents and her pack she never fights back so how can Ibelieve she is strong if she can't fight for herself. So, I decided that irrespective of how much I amattracted to her I will not let myself fall for her and the only way to do that was to treat her the wayothers do. She has been invisible to me for as long as I can remember.

Then, I became friends with Patrina and slowly I fell in love with her. I don't know why but my familyand Dylan say that she is not good for me and that what I see in Patrina is only a pretense.

I think since they were not able to make me change my mind they keep saying things so I can breakup with Patrina, as if I am going to let that happen. The only thing that I want is to be Patrina's mateand if by any chance the Moon Goddess has taken away that chance from me then I don't want ourmates to come in our lives till the coronation ceremony is over.

I pushed all the negative thoughts away from my head and thought about the things I want to dowith Patrina. I am sure she is going to be a very good Luna Queen and mate for the pack and me. Iremembered that I have to go buy a gift for her birthday, I will have to ask Dylan to go with me.About Dylan, he is my best friend and the next inline Alpha of our neighbouring Crescent MoonPack like I mentioned earlier. He is two years younger than me but we have been best friends sincewe were kids, usually it is heard that Alpha's are best friend's with their Beta's.

However, in my case we are definitely good friends but have completely different opinions becauseof his disapproval of my relationship with his sister. He seems to have an interest in Darcy. Dylandiscussed it with me, he said that Stephen keeps making Darcy uncomfortable because she is notcomfortable around men. I understand his worry for his sister because I would worry if it was mysister too.

My wolf Alex, seems to be on a different track whenever we meet Darcy as he keeps mumblingwords I can't quite seem to understand. He keeps howling and growling in my head when Darcy isaround. He never does anything like that with Patrina though, I have been having a little troublecontrolling my anger whenever I see Darcy speaking to any male wolf.

As much as I try to ignore her, my wolf tries to keep my attention on her. I know that wolves keepapproaching her, she is an Alpha's daughter and they want to be able to take advantage of thesituation to become powerful. The same thing happens with my baby sister Lavender and she tellsme stories of how people approached her and Darcy, and how they turned them down all the time.Somewhere in my heart I feel relief, when she tells me that Darcy has turned men down. I asked herwhy they turn everyone down, she said that both of them want to save themselves for their mate.They believe in the mate bond deeply and only want their mate to be their life partner.

I believe in the mate bond too but I want it to only work if Patrina is my mate, I know that she is theone who can help me lead the pack properly and help me forget about Darcy. I am very sure that assoon as I complete the mating process with Patrina everything is going to turn out in my favour. Ican't wait for the day when I will be able to make Patrina mine forever.

I was pulled out of my thoughts as someone knocked on my bedroom door. I groaned as I knewwho it was and before I could answer my baby sister barged into my room looking furious.

"What happened to you princess? Why are you looking so annoyed?" I asked as she cursed underher breath and glared at me

"Who does your girlfriend think she is? She came into my room without my permission and took mydresses and jewellery. When I confronted her she showed me her bitchy attitude saying she is thefuture Luna Queen and she can do whatever she wants" she looked very serious and her anger toldme that it did happen. I sighed deeply feeling trapped

"Oh no! Lavender, why are you making a fuss out of it and disturbing Colton? I said I was sorry youdon't have to lie to him about me. I never said anything like that, baby you know I would never dothat. It's just that she doesn’t like me and she warned me to stay away from you" Patrina enteredwith tears in her eyes.

I felt bad because she looked hurt and she was crying. I know Lavender doesn't like Patrina but Inever thought she would do something as bad as lying to me. I really don't know what to dobecause my sister was angry and my love was crying.

"Babe, stop crying okay? You shouldn't have taken anything without her permission, I told you thatbefore as well. If you wanted something you could have told me and I would have got that for you.Lavender you don't have to be so angry and rude all the time with her. You know I love her, youcould at least try and adjust with her" I addressed them both and when I spoke with my baby sister Ispoke a little more sternly than required.

She looked at me with disbelief as her eyes were showing hurt and they immediately welled up withtears. Shit I made her cry, I mentally face palmed myself as I tried to speak with her.

"Right, it was stupid of me to expect you to believe me even after knowing that you would never goagainst your love. You know what I am going to adjust and I am going to move out as soon as myschool is over. You don't have to do anything for me Alpha, thank you so much though for at leastlistening and yes you don't have to drop me off at school, I am going to drive my car, you are freefrom all responsibilities for me" she said, cutting me off as tears streamed down her eyes. I havenever seen her like this ever before and I am remorseful but I know that she won't accept myapology but I still wanted to try.

"Princess, listen to me. I am really sorry, I didn't mean to--" I started and she cut me off.

"Let it be, I don't need your sorry, I mean everything I said and mark my words someday you aregoing to regret loving and trusting a person like her" she said glaring at me and Patrina.

"I am sorry for interrupting your morning Alpha” she said, turning and getting out of the room. Isighed deeply, I have never hurt my baby sister before.

She always said that she doesn't like anyone touching her things and that is why she cleans herroom herself. She would have never even thought of doing or saying anything like that if Patrinakept her hands to herself. I looked at her with a hard stare as she approached me while I got up to asitting position on my bed.

"Baby, I am sorry I never wanted to create any problem for you" she said looking at me sadly.

"You would have never created a problem if you didn't touch her things without her permission. Youknow very well she is possessive of her things, she told you last time that she would not forgive athird time" I said and she looked down at the floor.

"I am sorry” she mumbled.

"Your sorry is not going to solve the problems between me and my sister. Listen, leave me alone fora while please. Let me get ready and I will drop you off to school” I said getting out of bed as shewalked out of my bedroom, closing the door behind her.

'I always told you she is not the one for us* Alex, my wolf growled angrily.

“Not again Alex, drop it for now’ I replied and he scoffed, retreating to the back of my mind. I mademy way to the bathroom to shower and get ready for the day.
