Chapter 18: Everything Has Changed“I love you.”“You don’t!”“I love you with no reason, not because I have to, not because I want to, not because you are the daughter of the pack Beta. I love you because you are, Velle. I fell for who you are not because I was forced to do so.” “Liar! Liar! I know, I heard yet I kept quiet! Because that was what I suppose to do, to keep quiet and listen to all of you. I was the puppet who only do what she was told!” “I was too young when I heard your father told you that I should be your Luna. You said I was weak, and you don’t want me. The next day you met me in the garden and helped me. And after that, you never left my side.” He was too surprised to answer at once. “Surprise? Yes, I know, and I heard that. I worked hard to deserve you, I obeyed everything that was told to me, I shouldn’t say bad words, I should be proper and prim, I should be beautiful in every situation. I should be respectful. I shouldn’t cross the Alpha and all the le
Chapter 19: The Bond"Velle," I turned to who called me and saw a man, he was old enough with a white beard. The werewolves ran away and we were left alone. He was looking at me softly. His eyes turned reddish and it pinch my heart somehow. "I hate that I have the name of your weak daughter," I said and it made him blink a tear which he instantly wiped. "Velle, I'm sorry. I failed you as a father. But isn't it a good thing? The pack is free from the curse now, when you died they all woke up and the hybrid reaper saved you." I never realized that he was this selfish and desperate. "Look at me, father." I could not hide my anger."In your eyes, who am I?" "My daughter, my lovely daughter.""I am not the same perfect daughter anymore! How do you think I would forgive you when you can them over them? How will I forgive you for not taking my side? You are my father! Yet you left me at the darkest point of my life! You knew they wanted to kill me! You all planned to kill me befor
Chapter 20: Wrong RoadI continued walking like I heard nothing. I walked back to the only place I know. I couldn’t seem to leave that place for long. I felt lost, she was right. But how will I find the right road? Or there was no road for me, caused it ended when I died. “Velle?” Kylo. I knew that voice. I looked at him and I was surprised when he enveloped his arms around me. “Where were you?” “Why do you care?” He still cared like I was the same Velle. “Because you’re my mate and I love you.” He nonchalantly said. Zild’s face appeared in my head he claims my mate too. Now I knew who my real mate was. But not anymore, I don’t feel the same anymore. “No, I’m not.” “I was so scared when I can not find you. I thought I lost you again.” Those words, why do they sound sincere? He let go of me and looked into my eyes. He put the loose strands of my hair behind my ears and kissed me. I couldn’t even close my eyes while his lips were against mine. This used to be sweet and hear
Chapter 21: Reconciliation I inhaled his scent; I could not deny that I love his smell. I could feel his arms around me, and the calm swaying was comforting. I opened my eyes and met his red eyes. Those intense bloody-red eyes deceived me. ‘I miss you,’ even in dreams I could not get away from him. I looked around and it was the garden in his backyard, he continued swinging slowly. ‘You should not have returned to them.’ ‘Who are you to tell me, Zild?’‘I am your mate.’‘Lies, too many lies.’ I whispered. To myself maybe. I let him hold me close, at least in his dreams he could hold me like this. But who am I fooling? The rhythm of my heart, the calmness of my body, and the peace in my soul were enough to prove the existence of our bond. To be in his arms was my safest haven. I leaned on his chest and placed my hand on it. ‘How does it feel, Zild? How does it feel that you can not make me do what you want?’ I pushed him and stood up. He amusingly smiled and looked strai
Chapter 22: Selfish TruthIt felts like a cold bucket was splashed onto my head. “What are you saying? That’s impossible!” Kylo said and pushed me behind him. “You better leave now, Laia, or I’ll drag you out of my territory.” “We can kill her now, and here,” I suggested. I wanted to rip her and wipe her fake innocent face. S“Kylo, what is happening here, I thought we were already clear. She’s not Lavelle, your Luna was long gone! She can’t even remember you, she doesn’t recogniz-““RAARGHHH!” Kylo growled to stop her. She was surprised to see him defending me. She looked at me and back at him. “I am warning you-“ “Utter a curse and you will not leave my territory alive,” his voice sounded different than his warm and welcoming voice. I saw her flinch and her eyes turned reddish. “She will still cause pain without any curse, Kylo. The Hybrid Reaper revived her, she belongs to him eternally. I will never have her again-“ “LEAVE!” A tear fell from her eyes which she ins
Chapter 23: Pack Duties I heard him walk back to check on me, so I shifted and ran to him. I saw his face lit up and wagged his tail. He let me run first and followed me. My blood has been linked to Zild and I could not do against what he wants. My body was reacting to him, how could I cut it?When we got there, his father and mother were waiting for us. He locked stares with his father and faced me after a minute. “We have something important to take care of, pack problem outside. I’d be out for a day.” He said and I nodded. “Let’s go,” Luna Loraine offered her hand to me. “I will teach you your pack duties.” She said and I nodded. We split paths and I was alone with his mother. “How are you feeling?” She asked. I truly did not know what to feel. Kylo was trying his best to make me comfortable. “I hope you fit well despite…you know.” I pulled a tight smile and looked at her. I turned my gaze back to our path while we were walking side by side. Maybe I could share my thou
Chapter 24: Hurtful ArgumentI couldn’t believe what I heard. Did she just say pretend? “If you have to pretend then do it, Lavelle this is the only thing you could at least do. I will not pretend anymore that everything is okay! I know what he’s doing. He’s sacrificing the whole pack for you, and he’s willing to lose this for you!” I know, she already told me that. “What do you want me to do? Act like I’m innocent?” “Why? Do you suggest anything else to do? What do you think is the best thing to do? Claim that you did kill our pack members? Lavelle, you have caused enough trouble! Please do right this time for the pack,” exclaimed she.She was blaming me for everything that happened. She was right anyway; I am to blame for this trouble. “You want me to hide it all in my closet, as you usually do.” That pulled her to composure, she gave me the look that I must know my place and I should fix my tongue. I never expected that I would see this side of her. “You’ve grown a back
Chapter 25: Endless Trouble I think this would never work. ‘He will do everything for you.’ Her voice tickled my conscience. Maybe I wasn’t putting enough effort to make this work. Maybe I wasn’t willing enough to fight for this pack. My hope returned when I heard a knock. I went to open it and disappoint myself when I saw it was not him. “Good evening, Luna. Alpha Kylo ordered me to clean your terrace, and he also wanted to say he will be staying with the guestroom tonight, he isn’t feeling good.” I nodded and I let her in. I stayed in our bed while she was cleaning the terrace. After she finished it, I let her leave immediately. I closed my eyes and I saw his hurt face, he was looking straight at me. ‘Are you happy hurt us?’ I opened my eyes and sat up. I guess I should watch the sky until sunrise as I usually do.I never felt this lonely the whole night, everyone was sleeping and I was here alone and awake. I should get used to this. The memories of me having my whole
