His Reluctant Luna novel Chapter 63

Alice -

 I had reached a clearing near a stream. 

 'Savannah, come out. I know you are here. The forest is surrounded, you cannot leave.' I said in her mind as I felt her presence.

 Before I could finish, I was shoved by a red female. Savannah had appeared from the rocks near the stream. I was tossed onto my side before I quickly righted myself and faced the known attacker. Savannah bared her teeth and growled low and deep. I returned the threat and watched as Savannah trembled and backed down a little.

 I looked behind her to see Lucian along with the rest of the pack. He stayed back and waited to see what would happen.

 'You must hold a pretty big grudge against me to attack me in front of Lucian.' I said.

 'I have nothing left to lose.' Savannah replied.

 'I was happy until you showed up! This is all your fault! 

 We circled each other cautiously.

 ' Why couldn't you just return your human boyfriend? You should not have come back,' she spoke.

 She charged at me. I quickly moved out of the way and swiped her on her left side as she ran by. Blood trickled out of the cuts. Savannah howled at me and flew at me again. This time I didn't move fast enough and was hit in the side. I was thrown onto the ground from the impact. I rolled a couple of times. Lucian tensed, ready to protect me. I asked him to wait. She ran at me and began trying to pin me to the ground. We clawed a bit at each other while trying to avoid being pinned.

 I quickly got the upper hand. Savannah tossed her body and tried to claw at my face. I finally found the opening that I needed and was able to close my jaws on her neck. Savannah continued to thrash about as blood left her neck.

 'Savannah, submit or die!' I said.

 She swiped across my right cheek as she shook from the force of my submission order. 

 'I'd rather die than give you the satisfaction of having me humiliated in front of the pack.' She responded.

 'Submit Savannah!' Lucian's voice roared in our heads.

 She seemed to stop for a moment. Unable to defy his Alpha command. I relaxed my jaws.

 'I love you, Lucian, I always have and always will,' she said, suddenly she took a swipe at me with her claws, a deep gash appeared on my right side. 

 I had no choice but to bite down onto Savannah's neck. I could feel the force of my bite snapping her neck. Her thrashing slowed down, her body lay dead hanging from my mouth. Howls rang out from the pack along with the praises. The pack was pleased that their Madam Luna had killed a traitor, and they were proud. 

 'Lucian, what have I done?' I asked him, my heart full of sorrow.

 'You didn't do anything wrong, Alice. She was delusional and blamed you for something which is beyond our control.' He replied.

 I was feeling numb. Savannah had been one of my close friends in the crimson pack, little did I know, the grudge she had been holding against me. Lucian arrived next to me and licked my gash, trying to heal me.

'It's all over, Alice, don't blame yourself for whatever happened. Savannah went rouge by her choice. I never saw it coming. As an Alpha, I should have been more careful about my pack.'

He ordered his betas, and they started preparing pyres for the bodies.
