Chapter 5: Trouble
My breath hitched, I didn't know what to say. She was mad, no furiuos towards me. How did it became my fautl. My mate instantly stood in front of me and order her to step back. She bowed her head yet looking at me angrily. She ran back to her daughter and cried louder. They carried her daugther and we were left here with our parents. "Are you okay?" He wrapped his hands around my waist and kissed my head. I didn't want to cry in front of them to prove that I am not a weak Luna. I forced myself not to cry and keep my composure still. "Bring her in." Alpha Kaleb ordered my mate. "Let's go in." He whispered and gently pulled me. "No, we should help her. She just lost her child." I insisted and no one agreed with me and they went inside the house. "Let's go," my mate softly said gently led the way into the house. They were sat on the long table, my parents were there, the gamma, Luna and the Alpha. I never expected that my coronation day would turn out like this. I knew what they were thinking, only one thing could be in their heads, the curse. Life of an elder was sacrifice to cut that curse, I'm hope that what happened today was only a coincidence. "Sit down, Luna." I should be happy to be addressed that way. Yet I felt ashamed causing this kind of trouble right after my coronation. I sat down and the past Alpha gave the chance to the new Alpha to speak. "I know that we didn't expect this to happen, I'm sorry." Kylo held my hand and slightly squeezed it. "I will fix, father." "How will you fix this? The curse was too powerful! Soon as she was declared at the Luna someone died and a family is mourning for her death." The Gamma interjected and the Alpha obviously agreed. "The curse was undone, and a life of an elder was sacrificed, I am sure this is only a coincidence." Kylo stood for me and my father was on his side. Again, I was the one who was causing of this kind of discussion. "I hope so, my son. We were never sure about that, the elder died he may be sacrificed his life or he failed." Luna Lorraine was right. I always adore her courage and the authority in her melodic voice, a great Luna indeed. While I was this weak and fragile Luna. "Mom," he gave him a warning look so I squeezed his hand gently to calm him down. "I was only stating the truth, son." I noticed that the past Alpha was quiet and intently looking at me. "I'm sorry I have caused so much trouble, I never wanted to be a burden to all of you. I hope I know what to do to solve this trouble." "You have nothing to sorry about, you did nothing and promise to do everything to fix this," Kylo said. "The Alpha is right, none of this is your fault. Let me handle this and be with your wife for now, she needs you." Alpha Kaleb said and he ended the discussion there. Wanted to protest but I didn't know how. "Velle honey, rest for now, okay?" My mom said and gave me a gentle hug. "That incident was saddening but today is your coronation day, smile even a little." "Okay." When will I be brave enough to do what I want and not what they say. All I do was to say okay. Maybe because, I knew they were right and I truly not good at decision making. My father gave me a kiss on my forehead and they left. "Listened to your mother, your should at least smile at our special day." Kylo said so I hugged him. His touch somehow comforted me. "I'm sorry if I always give you headache," I appologized. I felt really bad about what happened, they should be happy, we should be happy since today is our coranation day. "None of this is your fault, it was just a coincidence." What if it wasn't? "Still, I caused trouble again. I think I don't deserve to be the Luna anymore. I am weak-" "Shh, don't ever say that again. You caused nothing harm to anyone. You are just being you ang bad things happens everyday." He kissed my forehead so I nodded. "We'll let this pass for now."*** Before I could opened my eyes, a smile stretched on my lips and turned to Kylo. I wanted to hugged him but I only found pillow beside me. I opened my eyes dissapointed waking up without him. I thought he would wait for me to wake up before leaving me. I prepared myself and went out, "Luna, the Alpha requested you to stay in your room. Your breakfast will be serve in." An lady Omega approached me and led me the way back to our room. "Why? Did he mention why?" I was confused yet walked with her back to out room. "I'm sorry, Luna but the Alpha mention nothing, he only specifically order you to stay in your room." I could sense that she wasn't feeling good. "Are you okay?" She flinched when I asked her if she was fine. She bowed her head. "I'm okay, Luna. I'll go get yout food now." I nodded and let her leave me here alone. Why do I have to stay here when we have a problem to solve outside. "Kylo," I called him out but he wasn't responding. Maybe he's out there quiet far from here. After a few minutes someone knocked on my door so I opened it. I was surprised to see other face, it wasn't the omega who approached me. "It wasn't you who supposed to send this here." "She has some other thing to do, Luna, so she asked me to send it instead." She was avoiding to have eye contact with me. She's lying. "You're lying." "Luna I- Alpha us to-I mean I am I lying yes, I... I volunteered to bring this because...because I wanted to congratulate you personally. Congratulation, Luna Lavelle." She only became more obvious that she was lying. "Tell me what happened." I ordered her and she looked away. "She's sick." My suspicous gut feel turned into worry. "Really?" I walked to her and unconsciously touched her but she was burning hot. "Are you okay?" She fell on the ground and my eyes widen. "Kylo!" I screamed his name to asked for help. I held her head and lightly slapped her face. "Kylo! I need you!" I shouted louder, my hands started shaking. The door flew open and Alpha Kaleb got in. He kneel and checked her pulse. "She suddenly fell down, I didn't know what happen it was too fast." I failed to receive a response and my father came in. "Dad, help her. We should call a healer." "She's dead." Those words deafened me, I feel like my back suddenly flared up, "Dad..." I didn't know what to do so I called my dad. He went to me and held my hand then I lost it, my tears fell uncontrollably. "Alpha Kaled, are you sure?" She was very well just a while ago, how can she drop dead in a snap?" "Shh, we'll figure out what is going on," my father said and he wiped my tear. Too my confusion why was Alpha Kaled looking at me intently? He seemes wanted to tell me something. "Velle-" "Velle!" A voice cut him and we all turned to the door went it flew open and my mate ran to me. He touched my face and checked me, "what happened, are you okay?" He was panicky so I held his hands and squeeze it softly. "I'm fi-ne..." my voice cracked so I cleared my throught. "Son, I need to have a word with Lavelle." Alpha Kaleb stoop up while looking at me. "Not now, she's not well." He helped me up and he guide me to my bed. I couldn't intervene when I noticed his mood switched into very serious. "Then when?" His father didn't seemed to like what he had said. "We need to make sure-" "WE ARE MORETHAN SURE, son." I felt like crying when I realized they were about to fight about something I knew nothing. And my father was quiet, too quiet than he usually does. He should be in the middle calming both Alphas. "Dad, please. I'll fix this, she doesn't need to know about this, beside I know how to fix this alone." "Velle, the curse-" "Dad, I think that should be done by me?" Kylo cut his father, I wanted to held my mate's hand to calm him down, he might anger the Alpha, although they were both Alpha and Kylo was the current Alpha, it was still his father. They didn't need to tell me, I knew it was the curse. "Lavelle my love, I need you to listened carefully," I nodded, "Do you promise to be strong?" Did he see me that weak? "Of course." "Do you remember, Laia and the curse?" He asked and the memories came in my head. "How can I not." I replied. "We will do everything to fix this, I promise to work on this. Nothing is your fault, don't ever blame yourself. It was her curse not you." I nodded but my tears were unstoppably. "I'm sorry." I have caused so much trouble. Maybe I don't deserve to be the Luna. "Shh, none of this is your fault. You don't have to worry, I will do everything to stop this. We'll figured this out." He hugged me while my father was looking at me with the saddest look in his eyes. "Where is mother?" My father looked away, " don't tell me she..." I didn't need to ask what happened and I ran to our house. I ran to their room and I saw her there lying in bed. "Mom, momma are you okay?" I held her hands and it was cold as ice, he was sleeping like a rock. "Dad, dad what happened to her?" They followed me here. "She's unmoved when I woke up. I don't know what happened." His voice was too weak and sounded fragile. "The curse." He added and I fell on my knees hugging my mother's arm. "Kylo do something. We should do something." I cried hard, he was carressing my back while nodding. "Half of our pack are in her state, sleeping but not dead. Ten died today." Alpha Kaleb said and I felt like sinking. What I have done? I stood up and wipe my tears. "What should we do? I need to do something, I will help for me people." "Everyone that had interaction with you died excluding us your family, I recomend you to stay in your room until we find the solution of this problem," said Alpha Kaleb. "Dad, isn't that to cruel to Velle?" "What do you want, let our people die?" I stopped my mate. "I understand Alpha, I will stay inside for the safety of everyone." My mate kissed me on my forehead. "I promise to do everything." He said and we walked back to the pack house. We went straight to our room which would be my room alone from now on. I heard Kylo ordered everyone to leave the pack house. All the omega were drove away, they all left the house and I was left alone. I sat on the floor and lean on my bed. Guilt and self pity was killing me, I saw how good Luna Lorrain's life being the Luna. And I only ruin the peace they built. "I am the worst Luna they ever had. I am cursed to be their misery."Chapter 6: Not in Good MoodI was standing at the doorway of my room waiting for him to show up. I have never seen him for a long time. I was expecting him to visit me even for a while. It has been a few days of living in this room alone. Kylo stored my food in my room and it was running low. I heard him approaching which lift my mood. He's here, I flinched when the sound of the door slammed resounded throughout the whole house. I stepped back and closed my door and hopped in my bed. I pulled my blanket to cover myself while listening to his footsteps.I could smell his sweaty body and sense his anger and frustration through the link. "Kylo," I softly called him out and he didn’t answer instead I heard him kick something and I was sure something fell on the ground and broke. I almost jumped when the loud crash resounded. He was not in the mood, I should do something to help calm him. I bravely stood up and slowly walked to the door and touched it. I leaned on it and listened to
Chapter 7: Legend of the Ancient Hybrid ReaperMy lips turned into a grim line when heard that voice, it was the same small irritating voice that cursed me. I turned around and saw her smiling ear to ear. "Hello! Do you miss me?" She played with her hair and blinked two times. "Laia, this is not good anymore, undo the curse now. How can you walk unbothered around when you know that someone died because of you and someone was lying in bed helpless because of what you did." She instead laughed crazily. "My fault?" She pointed to herself while giving me an unbelievable look. "Isn't yours? You are the reason for their misery. You caused all the trouble, Kylo suffered because of you, all stress of what you did while you stay here lying in bed like a Queen when you are to blame!""You curse me! You ruined everything, we should be living in peace if you are not insecure-" I fell on my knees when I suddenly couldn't breathe. She was already holding my neck and I couldn’t breathe. "S
Chapter 8: Rise, My Queen, "DO WHAT! VELLE!" He shouted when I failed to answer quickly. "Pour blood on the grave of the Ancient Hybrid Reaper." "She believes in dark magics and dark ritual?" Laia asked and shook her head. "No! Kylo, believe me. You know me well, I can not do such a thing, we grew up together for goddess sake." I kneeled and clasped both my palm looking at him. "Do not believe her, please." "Did you kill Mira?" My breath hitched when he asked that. I saw Laia nod next to him. "She did." I looked back at him and saw that he was eyeing me straight like he was trying to look through my soul. "Answer me, Velle." "I didn't mean to." Like rain, tears fell from my eyes out of fear. "DID YOU KILL HER? DID YOU KILL A PACK MEMBER, VELLE? ANSWER ME!" I nodded... "Kill her." My breath stopped hearing him say that, I looked up at him and saw the cold and stone face of my mate mercilessly ordered to eliminate myself. "No! I am your mate, Kylo!" I felt weak to fi
Chapter 9: Unexplainable Fury"Kill them." I froze when he whispered that. It may be too much, we could make them pay without killing them. He realized that I was confused about why I had to kill them. "I think that is too much, we shouldn't kill anyone." His eyes went down to my body and held my waist. He took a long deep breathe and guide me into the house- Was it even a house? It looked haunted placed made by huge stones with a cave-like doorway. He opened it and it was all dark inside. "Don't be afraid." He pulled me inside and my eyes adjusted in the dark. We walked further and I saw a throne-like chair in the middle. "Why do you think killing is too much?" He calmly asked. "Killing is not right." "What makes killing not right?" "...Ending lives is cruel and...hurtful making it not the right thing to do." "Isn't it what we want to do? To be cruel and to make them suffer as they did to us. I want to hurt them. Killing is the best thing to do, to prove that you are not
Chapter 10: Meeting the AlphaToo cold and too dark, where I found myself. The room was empty and lonely, why does it feel heavy in this house? Darkness around seemed wrong for me yet fit well in the atmosphere. I couldn’t seem to rest in this kind of it felt irrevocable. “You’re awake,” I turned my head to the left and saw him sitting beside the window, I couldn’t see his face caused of the light coming from it. I could only see his silhouette, and he was crossing his arm. “Sorry, I didn’t know you here.” He probably noticed I was awake, yet I didn’t move. He only stood up and I was following his every move. “They’re here.” Who? “You might want to welcome our guests.” He said and walked to the door. “Who are they?”“You knew them more than I.” He answered and left me thinking. “I don’t remember anything.” What happened to me the day before yesterday? I almost pulled my hair when it felts like breaking. I couldn’t remember anything. I didn’t realize that until now, I was t
Chapter 11: Unpleasant Visitor“Are you still mad?” I asked. There was no response so I thought it would be better to skip that. Should not trigger him more. “I don’t want you to cry.” He let go of me and looked me in the eye. I hurriedly wiped my leaving no trace of tears. “Don’t ever feel pity for anything, don’t ever feel weak emotion.” I nodded and put in my fierce emotion. Glee was undeniable when he tried to comfort me, yet he didn’t want to see me cry again, that he meant he didn’t want to comfort me. “You have killed enough number of his army; they would suffer for too much loss. You can do anything you want around.” He said and left the room, I tight smile drew on my face even if I knew he did not see it. Disappointment killed the light in me, I was expecting more. I thought we could cuddle, or he would stay longer to make sure I’m okay. I walked to my bed and sat there, I took a pillow and dropped my back in bed hugging it. I still wonder, who am I? Aside from bein
Chapter 12: Newly WedHe stopped and nodded. “Luna means mate of an Alpha.”“You mean that man who want me dead, was my mate?” I asked. “NO! I am your mate, but your parents don’t want me to be your mate because I am caged in here. Your father is the beta of your pack, a blind man who obeys his Alpha than listening to his daughter. They forced you to marry the soon-to-be Alpha and the day you marry him; you became the Luna, and he became the Alpha.” “He wants me dead because he already got what he wants, the title.” I continued; I knew he would say that. He nodded to confirm my thoughts. “Why did they have to do that?” “They want me to suffer,” he was eating casually my heart felts breaking to hear that. “I will make them suffer instead.” I unconsciously said. “You have only me, everyone turned their back on you. We only have each other.” I nodded. I understand. He suddenly stood and offer his hand to me. “Are you willing to seal your faith to me?” My jaw literally fell
Chapter 13: My Special Ability I was stunned by what I have said, it only made the atmosphere awkward. I saw him gulp and looked away. “Come on,” I still insisted.“Just once,” I almost squealed hearing that. “Okay,” he looked back at me. I looked straight but I felt like drowning under his stares. I closed my eyes and took a huge breath and stared straight into his eyes. I thought of making him freeze. After a little while, he didn’t move and continued looking at me. “Did it work?” There was no response, so I touched him, “Zild.” He remains unmoved, and slowly, a smile crept on my lips. “It worked!” I hugged him in happiness, and he didn’t move. After a few seconds, he didn’t move still, and I started to worry. “How to undo?” I asked him and he only looked at me like a stone. “Holy shit!” I bit my lower lip while trying to think how to undo it. What happened to that snake? I only blinked and he was out of my control. “Zild!” I tried shaking him, but it was useless. “Oh
