Chapter 4

Julia's POV

She pointed the sword towards me.

“Julia! Alpha Damien requests your appearance. It is either you come with me peacefully or I take you to him by force!” Her thin voice and dark aura were imposing.

I was scared and slowly took steps backwards while she followed me with the sword pointed towards my neck.

“Who dares!” Beta Ambrose drew his sword and pointed it at the lady.

‘Alpha Damien has my  mother in his possession. If Beta Ambrose defends, it will be chaotic. I think I should just follow her.’

“Drop the sword!” Beta Ambrose spoke with his terrific voice sending a sharp and extreme aura across the atmosphere.

But the lady wouldn't back down. “It's okay, Beta Ambrose. I will follow her.” I said with a mild voice.

Beta Ambrose put down his sword and I followed the lady until we arrived at the Alpha Damien's mansion.

Alpha Damien was seated on his throne when I was brought inside. With surprise obvious in his eyes, he got up from the throne and he moved towards me.

“Excuse us!” Alpha Damien declared and all the guards vacated the premises.

He came closer to me…. “Julia, where have you been? I missed you.’  He placed his hand on my face like he wanted me. The same person that was always disgusted by my presence.

I slapped his hand off my face. “You don't have the right to touch my body. Where is my mother?” I know you have her.” My voice was harsh and I peered into his eyes.

He grunted slowly with a long stare into my eyes. And he clapped his hands.

“Julian, I know I rejected you as my Luna and my mate. I want you back now.” He spoke with desperation in his eyes. He laid his hand on my shoulder.

But I shot a disgusting glare at his face. I do not know what I feel for him anymore. A mix of hate, vengeance and love was all I felt within me. “I don't want you, Alpha Damien. All I want right now is to see my mother.”

Just as I said that, the door was opened and my mother was brought in by the royal guard.

“That is your mother!” He declared. And I turned at once. Looking at the face of my mother again, I was excited and I rushed to her.

My mother walked up to me and she opened her arms. I went into her embrace. “Mummy, how are you? Hope they didn't hurt you?” I was bothered.

“I am fine, daughter. I am happy to see you again.” She spoke softly.

“Let us go home, mother.” I said and I held my mother's hand. We focused on the door and were about to go out before we were stopped by the heavy guard at the door.

“You can't leave, Julia!” Alpha Damien spoke aloud as he took steps towards me.

I shot a bitter glare at him. “Why can't I leave?” I yelled.

“I want you back, Julia! And you can't go with your mother. But if you so wish to leave, your mother will remain here and I will torture her to death. Choose wisely.” He spoke with an air of dominance.

And I was terrified at his desperation to want me back. I don't understand Alpha Damien anymore and I can't be his even if I accept this proposition. He said he was going to torture my mother to death and I can't allow that to happen.

I looked at the face of my mother and I hugged her warmly. “Mummy, you are all that I have left. I must deal with this myself.” My eyes were laced with tears and my mother held me tightly.

“I will be waiting for your return, my dear Julia.” Tears dropped down my eyes and I had to clean it up.

I unwrapped my hands around her and moved backwards. I watched my mother leave.

“Welcome back, My Luna!” As Alpha Damien echoed that, the door was forced open and Beta Aurora stormed in. Her face was aggressive and her breath puffed out at different intervals heavily.

“What the hell is going on here, Alpha Damien? Why the hell is Julia here?” Her voice was laced with anger and she spoke fiercely.

Alpha Damien glanced at her from head to toe. “What are you doing here? I ordered you to stay indoors. Why wouldn't you listen to a simple order!” Alpha Damien spoke harshly, his voice was cold and domineering.

“To hell with your order! You promised to leave her in your past. What is she doing here?” She widened her eyes and flexed her muscles.

“I brought her back and she is here to stay.” Alpha Damien spoke with essence. His words were imposing.

“You can't mean what you just said, Alpha Damien.”

Alpha Damien shot a deadly glare at her and faced me at once. “Julia, will you be my Luna?” He asked in the most plain tone.

But I looked at him with spite, knowing fully well he was about to jilt Beta Aurora; the same thing he did to me when I was loyal to him.

I set my eyes on his and opened my lips to speak… “I am not interested!” I violently dismissed his request without thinking of it twice and his ego was hurt.

“I know she can't be that foolish to ever want to have anything to do with you again. Alpha Damien, you belong to me.” Beta Aurora spoke with high voltage and she walked up to him sexily. While her hands crawled on his skin.

But for a reason, I had to look away when she was all over him.  I do not know the reason I felt so jealous seeing Alpha Damien with her even though he hurt me.

But Alpha Damien pushed her away and she crashed to the ground. “Don't you dare lay that hands on me again! You don't own me. I chose my mate and not otherwise. Pending the time Julia thinks about my proposal of being my Luna, you will be my mistress… your mission is to pleasure me and nothing more. Do you understand?” He spoke harshly with a straight face.

I looked at the way he treated Aurora that he had used to replace me and I was disappointed in his personality. ‘I will never let the slightest love within me awaken. Alpha Damien doesn't deserve to be loved. Instead, I am going to make you pay for breaking my heart and I am going to take back the land your ancestor's collected forcefully from us.’ I promised myself where I stood. My mission started at that moment.
