Chapter 28: Too Much HungerShe was confused about why I wanted a hug. “I looked up to you as a woman for being that strong and powerful. I wish I can be a Luna like you.” I said and she smiled. She nodded and I did not waste a second and hugged her. She smelled like blueberry with citrus and vanilla. “Thank you,” I said, and I saw Kylo offer a hand to her. “What I did was inappropriate, I hope I did not cause any misunderstanding between our pack.” He still needed to protect the pack’s image as an Alpha. “Not at all,” she said and accepted his hand. “You must be very tired; my son Radian would escort you to our guest room.” She turned to where they are, but he was nowhere to be found. Only Orion was left in the room. “Orion, please escort them to our guest room and meet me hereafter.” She ordered her son, but I thought we should go.“We may want to stay for more but I’m afraid we have to go,” Kylo said which I agreed. “We have to be back soon as we can,” I added.“Do y
Chapter 29: TrappedAnger blinded me and I swiftly ran back to him. I clawed his face, and he saw it. He saw I would do it, but he did not move an inch. He accepted my attack and a drop of blood escaped from the wounds I made on his left cheek. “I will never fall in that trap, Zild.” I moved closer to his left ear. “Remember that.” How dare he scare me? “Crystal clear,” he answered, and I ran back to the door. I thought he would run after me, but I was wrong. I did not even hear him move. I should not stay longer with him. I ran faster to our pack, and I was welcomed by his mother. “What did you do?” asked she. “Nothing,” confusion has taken over my system, why was she that angry? “What happened to him?” And she raised her eyebrow. “Aren’t you supposed to know what happened when you were together?” I could not almost recognize her voice. I could clearly see that she despised or even loath me for causing too much trouble. “Where is he?” I walked past her. I knew she woul
Chapter 30: Hatred and Affection Did I hear it right? Of course, we were one, what was to be a surprise? I blew up unbelievably and walked inside. I went to the room that used to be mine. He wanted me to stay then I’d make his life a living hell.I went there to change. I took off my dress and wore the black dress that I found in the closet. I took off the pins from my hair and let it down freely. I was trapped in here forever with him. I hope he wasn’t expecting me to live with him happily. I jumped into my bed and lay in there. I could act dead since I already died anyway. I closed my eyes and thought about how I do it when I lost consciousness in the woods. I knew I did not die; I was just sleeping. Without blood, I would be able to sleep. But now I could not sleep yet, I opened my eyes and stare at the ceiling. This unpainted place looked like a graveyard. Just gray and black, the only place that has no color. In the moment of silence, my mind was playing with me. I thoug
Chapter 31: His Deal“We? Are you sure we asked that? As far as I know, I did not want to marry you at that time. I was just scared you’d be angry.” It may be hurtful but that was the truth. I was eager to please him thinking he was my mate, but it was a lie. “I warned you it was irrevocable, and you agreed, the moon goddess would not grant that without your desire to seal your fate with me.” He simply said. He drank the blood from his goblet and looked at me. “I did that not because I wanted to punish you, I was afraid.” Afraid of what? He smiled but I could see his eyes were telling me otherwise. “Afraid of what?” I was impatient when he did not continue right away. “You might run away and leave me here alone.” He stared at me, expecting any reaction but I hid my surprise and disbelief. He was trying to manipulate me again using my emotion. He could not take advantage of me by feeding me false information now he was trying to win me with those sorrowful words to have my sym
Chapter 32: His Lullaby I forced myself not to smile when he offered that. No one ever sings for me. “Okay,” “In the dark full of madness,In this cage full of sadness, Is the only place I could be in peace, I wish, I could leave your nightmares and be in your fantasies.I could ease your hatred and be your happiness,I did not mean to be the villain of your story,But if making your stay means being your enemy, I will bear at least you’re with me. I won’t be sorry,I won’t be sorry.Baby, to make you happy means making me lonely. I want to keep you with me but seeing you lonelyIs hurting me. So, I must set you free.I hope you’d finally be happy.” I tried hard not to cry; he did have a good voice. I could now hear his plea. His broken soul’s plea. Why did I feel like he wanted me to stay not because to punish me? He hugged me tighter like he did not want to let me go. My eyes started watering, so I choose to shut them harshly.“Will you be happy out there? Will
Chapter 33: Wounds of His PastI stood up and I saw pain lingering on his face. “What is this?” Pure anger was displayed on his face, and I could not find the right word to explain myself. A sudden question came across my mind. Why did I accept his deal? “Kylo…” “What are you doing in there? Why are you with him instead of staying with me?” “Kylo I—”“I woke expecting to see you, but I only learned that you’re here and you haven’t come home for a few days.” His composure was gone, he looked so done. “Let me explain,”“Let’s go home now!” He demanded but I could not leave until the deal was over. “I can’t, I…I,” I could not bring myself to say what I wanted to say. I feel like I need to defend myself and say something I should listen to his anger even if it's lies. Why did it hard to tell him the truth? Maybe because I knew he would not accept it. “I can’t for a week, it’s a deal I—”“Liar! That’s not what I saw, Lavelle! You were sitting on his lap.” Why was I sittin
Chapter 34: Crybaby I smiled and nodded. “Was it weird? That is what my mother used to tell me, I saw her do everything for my father. My mother was very loving and sweet and never shouted in the house. She takes care of him, serves him, and always listens to what he says. That's what women should do.” He stood behind me and asked, “Do you want that? If being like that makes them like you, do you like you?” I looked at myself, do I like myself?“If they wanted a flower but can’t accept its thorns, they don’t deserve that flower.” “Are saying it’s wrong?” He held my waist and put my hands on his shoulder. He kissed my forehead and I looked at us in the mirror. He asked, “Who cares to what and wrong?” I’m afraid to be wrong.“They lied when they said you can’t make mistake, they lied when they said life is about serving someone. You are a queen yourself who did not need to bow before anyone. The mistake is what build us, the lessons it carved every failure. Let them hate you,
Chapter 35: Farewell He asked, “Promise?”I nodded with a confident smile. I still did not know why he could let me go, why was the definition of love in his perspective different. I knew he did want to keep me but he let me go. “That’s good to know.” We eat in peace, and I talked about how I prepared dinner. He would constantly look at me and showed interest in what I was talking about. I knew deep in my heart, this man in front of me taught me a lot. In a short time, I learned things I did not at home. “Did you know that your blood smells good compared to any blood?” I suddenly said. “No,” he continued eating like he heard nothing but glanced at me. “Well now you know, I can stop drinking blood, right?” I wanted to change my diet.“Why do you think that’s possible?” I blinked and thought deeply. “Because…I am still a werewolf, I still have my wolf in me. That’s why I thought I could still live on a werewolf diet.” He nodded and wiped his lips. “You can, but you’d be
