CHAPTER 4: Enemy's Daughter

ZEUS-

“See you again, princess” I spoke waving my hand at her, although she wasn’t fit to be my mate bond, she still managed to catch my attention.

Whosoever her father was, treated her like a princess by not introducing her to a world with death and blood, she was innocent and pure who has never taken any life, who doesn’t know what it takes to become a queen, my queen.

Not a queen but princess automatically slipped out of my mouth as she was perhaps born with the humblest dad on this earth. I was intrigued and wanted to know about her pack even more, eventually they’d be bowing in front of me once I'm a Lycan and I would want to know everyone’s identity.

Would I be triggering her werewolf curse? Not that it doesn’t matter to me also, I don’t want her to be my Luna, she isn’t a rebel like me moreover, she’s nothing like me.

Later on, I took whatever classes I felt like attending and drove back home as it was a full moon today and I've got things to do.

Upon arriving everyone began turning slowly and all I could hear was howls from every corner of the house, all of us gathered in the yard and they bowed in front of me.

On full moon our senses get heightened as we can hear and see things meters away from us too, I sensed and unfamiliar scent in the mansion and it didn’t belong to our pack.

It was more-- more human-like, the one I scented at the university, it was of that girl’s scent but I couldn’t believe it as it’s impossible for her to be here. I looked around and saw someone hiding behind the pole.

She again caught my attention and perhaps she wasn’t as innocent as I expected her to be, she successfully managed to follow me without getting caught was a huge step for a no one like her.

I walked without anyone noticing my movement and stood right behind her, I was sure that she was from a certain pack and was perhaps sent here to spy on us. But why would someone send a weakling like her to scout?

“You have the nerve to peep on the night walkers?” I roared in a high pitch making her shiver in terror, it was my shortcoming for considering her as a no one as she managed to sneak inside our residence.

Perhaps, I was wrong on looking down on her as he wasn’t innocent. It must've been all her tricks to lure me into some kind of trap. But I was never wrong about my instincts and it genuinely felt like she wasn’t aware about her true nature.

She tricked me into thinking that she’s just a human and was a spy to know about our weak areas, I saw the dreadful girl shivering in fear and grabbed her shoulder turning her face towards me.

“Who sent you to spy on us?” I roared yet again making everyone look at me, I didn’t have any intention of hiding it from my omegas either. Someone barged in and eliminating the threat was our sole purpose also; she wasn’t someone special to me just because she was my mate bond. I don’t accept such a filthy creature to be my Luna.

“I- I, don’t d--- don’t. I came here following you b-- because of your s-- scent” she spoke and I looked in her amber eyes which were about to shed tears. I can’t, I can’t fall for her story or the pitiful face she was making. She’s just here as an enemy.

“My scent?” I asked still trying to find something that could help save that unimportant life of hers. I didn’t know why I was giving her a chance to explain things as my outer side was roaring to kill her here and now.

“The weird scent from your body, led me here and I- I saw, t—that you aren’t h—human.” She spoke with extreme fear in her eyes and a drop of tear fell from her amber eyes contacting her milky white skin.

I felt an arrow piercing through my heart as that drop fell from the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. Her red plum lips shivering while speaking made me sure that she wasn’t a spy but destiny brought her here.

She sensed my scent but didn’t know a thing about what mate bond is. She didn’t know that she was destined to be my Luna, not knowing anything about her true identity, is also why she don’t belong to my world and I can’t accept her.

The way she was shivering gave me another reason why she isn’t fit to be my Luna, I would’ve liked someone who met my eyes and talked without a sense of dread in her eyes. Someone like me, a rebel.

I can’t make her mine just because she’s beautiful while she can’t fight anyone as we have a lot of enemies waiting for the perfect opportunity to kill me. They’d try to harm my Luna in attempt to ruin me and what’s the point when she won’t be able to protect herself?

I’d be dead in sorrow and would lose everything once my Luna is dead, I better not attach any emotions to such a weakling who’d bring pain in my life. No one would be scared of me if my Luna dies as the man who couldn’t save his mate bond isn’t fit to rule us.

“What’s your name?” I spoke but this time in a calm voice as she was scared already to such an extent that if I were to scream, she would’ve died from the sound itself. She was from a pack for sure and I wanted to know what that pack was.

Her surname would be enough for me to know about what pack she belongs to, as she probably wouldn’t be aware about the name of her pack. I leaned on growing nearer to her face not being able to resist the charm she had around her and placed my hand on the wall behind her until she spoke.

“A-- Aurora, Aurora Ogre” she spoke while I was focusing on her lips and suddenly a name hindered in my mind.

Ogre? Is she--- is she Jade Ogre’s daughter? My hand slipped from the wall making me go even closer to her face and she pushed me abruptly running away in an unknown direction.

I kept on staring at her as she ran not knowing the reason behind it but soon realized that the daughter of the enemy was running away from my hands and I wouldn’t get another opportunity to have Jade wrapped around my fingers.

He obviously treated his daughter as a princess by keeping her identity hidden even from herself, he would even die for her daughter and that’s what I want. Him to die.

“Catch her” I spoke and all the hungry werewolves ran in her direction howling loudly. They could kill her not knowing the meaning behind my ‘catch her’ and I yelled again.

“I want her alive.” I spoke as killing her anytime soon wasn’t in my plan. She was the biggest victory I've ever accomplished and can’t wait to see my father’s proud face once he gets to know that I've captured the heart and soul of Jade Ogre.

I looked at Arthur who was in the process of turning but he could also delay his process because he was now my beta. I gave him the look telling him to bring her here alive and he nodded in acceptance.

I’ve never felt so relieved as Jade would now be in my fist and the dream of becoming a Lycan isn’t far.
