Chapter 4

Selena Pov

“Selena what are you doing In front of the Alpha king” my uncle came to my side and fully helped me to stand on my feet.

“This moonrise is just a joke, having a weak gamma” Calista said, she won't fail to run her mouth about my weakness In Front of everyone.

“We finally meet again” Alpha Tristan whispered to my ears before walking away. I was taken aback the last time we met.

“The Alpha king” someone announced, the Alpha king walked up to the stage to make his speech, the music went silent and everywhere became quiet.

I swear he looked so handsome, I didn't take notice of that the last time we met, I didn't know he was the Alpha king. I just couldn't leave him.

“This is to formally welcome you all. I'm the new Alpha king and I promise I will make the black moon pack and other packs progress. Enjoy your stay here”

Everybody clapped their hands in unison, a guard came to call me, he said the Alpha king wanted to see me.

He led me outside to the porch which had a table and chair set, there were several dishes of food displayed on the table.

My mouth watered as the aroma filled my nose.

“Can I eat the food?” I asked the guard

“Yes, you can” I began eating one piece and the other. I guess it was a bad idea coming for the party without having any food in my stomach just to fit my dress.

“Selene” the Alpha king called making himself comfortable opposite the seat In Front of me.

“ I guess you are my mate” I gave him a hearty smile, every lady could wish to be with the strongest man in the werewolf hierarchy but I don't think I was interested in that anymore. I have been hurt multiple times and they all left when they found out I was weak with no wolf. I didn't even want to give it a try. I still get hurt every step of the way.

Swallowing hard, I voice out my discomfort.

“I'm sorry, I don't think I can be your Luna”

“Is there anything wrong, I'm not good enough for you. Do you want me to change anything? I will change anything for you”

“No, I'm not emotionally stable enough to go through this. I'm weak and I don't have a wolf.” I said hoping that was enough reasons to change his mind towards me. I was sure it was, everyone leaves me whenever they find out I was weak. Nobody wants a weak Luna as a mate and I guess the Alpha king doesn't want that too.

“I don't mind, I still want you without a wolf”

“I'm so sorry then, you just have to reject me”

“I will give you the time to think it through,” he said standing up and I could see how hurt he was from his eyes. I wasn't just yet ready anymore. I wanted to be strong, I didn't want to be looked down on. I wanted to be treated with so much respect but I wasn't going to do that with a mate who pitied me because of my status.

“Selena” my uncle Dave called when I was in deep thought thinking of the Alpha king proposal. I was scared.

“Alpha king, if you don't mind can I steal Selena for a seconds”

My uncle took me to one of the rooms which was private, there was no soul except for my Auntie , me and my uncle. I wonder why I have been called out.

“Uncle Dave, is anything the matter” I asked out of curiosity to know what was buried deep in their mind.

“Selena we called you out to tell you something so important, something we were supposed to let you know before now but we allowed it to pass but since you have reached your age it was time to tell you the truth” my auntie began and I looked so confused. What was that I was supposed to know?

“What is it?” I said sharply, eager to know whatever he was about to say.

“The alpha king is your mate”

“Yes, he is” I wrinkled my brows wondering what they were driving at. Is that what I was supposed to know?

“You have to accept him”

“Accept him!” I gasp standing to my feet to look at both my uncle and auntie. I was fortunate enough to have them train me in college but it wasn't their fault I turned out to be a woofless she-wolf.

“Why should I accept him?” I wondered the motive behind why they needed me to be the Luna of the Alpha king. Was it for power or there is something more? They were all there when I received both my first, second and third rejection and every step of it was a painful one.

“Your mother died on a mission to black moon pack”

Blackmoon pack! That's Tristan pack.

“My mother!” I asked, my eyes glossed with tears at the mention of her name, this wasn't the same story I was told.

“Your mother handed me over to you before she went on a mission. She was a strong gamma of this pack. I tried to talk her out of going, she just had you and still needed some bed rest but she opposed that. I'm sorry Selena we lied to you”

I step backwards, if my mother died in black moon pack does it mean the Alpha king has anything to do with this?

“We tried to find out why she died but the black moon pack was heavily guarded and we couldn't make our way through the guards without them finding out. But by accepting to be the Alpha king's mate you get past the guard and have the opportunity to uncover your mother's death” my uncle said, giving me more reasons to accept him. I sighed wondering why the black moon pack would kill my mother. What could she have done wrong?

“You have to accept him” my uncle tapped on my shoulder before leaving and I was left there with just my thoughts.

If I was going to accept him, it was just to know the reason for my mother's death.
