CHAPTER FIVE

I stared into his eyes and I could see confusion written all over it. 

  He really wasn't expecting to hear an easy answer just like that, he was still expecting me to struggle with coming to terms with the fact that we are mates and there is nothing I can do to change that fact.

But I wasn't the slightest bit surprised though. Everyone knew me to be a really tough Alpha and not stepping down for anyone but I had to do so now because of my father's revenge which I have planned to get at all possible cost.

Now, I was going to give everyone in the room the shock of their lives.

"But on one condition" I announced and everywhere grew quiet in a matter of seconds

"What is it?" he asked me.

I knew for sure that he knew I would never give up without a fight. But it wasn't going to be a fight though, it was going to be a pact. Even with my Revenge, I could not bear to give out the pack that my father had worked all His life for to build.

"You don't get to be the alpha of my pack, I still remain the alpha of the pack and I control the pack from wherever I am, agree or not?" I asked him if my voice sounded like a powerful thunder, making everyone flinch.

I watched his expression closely with a dark and twisted smile hanging on my face.

From the look on His face, I could tell that Jax hated the fact that I had so much power and authority, his plan was to take that away from me but I just wasn't letting go.

"But you know that's not possible, you can't be a luna and an alpha at the same time" he also said trying to make me scared but he should really know better than to try to scare this alpha.

"Then let's begin the rejection section after we have this fight, get me my sword" I shouted out, I can as well just kill him right here right now, my father had given the pack into my hands, it will be extremely crazy of me to go give it to his enemy.

Anger was already brewing inside me as I remembered how my father had died and this idiot standing right in front of me is his killer, I can't just wait to tear him into pieces.

But in the midst of my anger, I could still feel that strong pull towards him, that mate bond, that was telling me to put down the sword and accept him as my mate.

I stared into his clear eyes but I pulled my eyes away from it almost Immediately.

"Snap out of it Aurora, your worst nightmare is the one standing right before you." My subconsciousness yelled out from the inside of me.

But I wasn't going to do that, not after what she had done to my father. All that I was working toward now was my Revenge and nothing more.

Damn, Jax wished that he could read my wolf's mind. I could see that from the way that he was shifting his head sideways and it made my lips break Into a broad smile, while I tried hard not to laugh at his childishness.

 As an alpha and a wolf with special blood he had the ability to read into people's mind and even manipulate their mind, for those that are so weak minded, but for me wolf, he couldn't even get anywhere close to my mind.

Why the hell does his mate have to be so powerful, it annoys him the heck out, he knows for sure that she's got something up her sleeve and he wish that he can know what the fuck that is.

I kept staring at him for a while. I knew for sure that he won the first duel but I knew that he wasn't going to win this one again, not when I was still living on the surface of the earth.

"Alright fine, I agree but you have to spend most of your time with my pack which will also be your pack, your duty as my Luna comes first, is that understood?" he said.

"And one more thing, you will be indirectly Under my rule.." He announced and once again, the hall became as silent as a graveyard.

At first I was happy when he spat the first words out of his mouth. Now, I could feel my heart beating hard against my chest.

I was on the verge of losing my pack. If I by any means allowed this battle to go any further, I might lose a lot of my able warriors and there was no possibility that I was going to win.

I had already lost to him once already. I drew a really deep breath, deeper than I had ever drawn all my life while I continued to stare right Into his eyes.

I had to think fast and wisely. "Should I actually accept his offer or not?"

"I am waiting for you to give me a response or you want a fight instead?" He inquired staring right into my eyes.

I had to weigh what I was going to be losing and also gaining by the decisions that I was about to make. If I accept him, that means that my pack will be under him for a while.

But by being his Luna, i will take his pack away from him and he might never even notice. I smiled evilly to myself, this is exactly what I was going to do.

"I will do whatever it is that I want, you can go alpha Jax I will send some carriages in two days with my things and also a letter telling you some things that I will needing and of course you must do it if you want me to be the Luna of your park, I myself will join you in three days" I said to him, I might be his mate but I definitely will not be his puppet, I'm only doing this nonsense so that I can have the opportunity to make his life miserable, I will make sure that he bows before me and beg mercy, while I slit his throat in pieces.

I returned to my room and shut the door, as much as I hate to do this, I just have no choice, tears slipped down my face as I envisage the long journey before me, I'm not scared for myself, I'm just scared for my pack, I will be leaving them without a leader to guide and direct them, and I know for a fact that my going will surely bring division in the council, everyone that have always opposed my reign will want to take advantage but I'm definitely not going to allow them.

I knew that Jax would have to appoint someone over the pack and I will make sure that I come here at least once every week to see how things are fairing here.

Jax's POV

I got back to the pack with this very bad gut in my feeling, something seems to be off and I can't just shake the feeling off, I know for a fact that the she wolf is up to something, that was why he agreed to her terms I'm willing to find out what it's all about.

I waited till my food was served before heading to the dining area. I live alone in the alpha's quarters, my younger sister lives in the other house, I've not announced yet that Aurora is my mate and I just hope that Emily is going to be cool with it.

And speaking of the wolf, my mind has not stopped thinking about her ever since I left her pack, it must be the damn mate shit, if not why in the world would he be thinking about that arrogant she wolf, thoughts of her continue to linger on her mind even as he ate his food.

Aurora's POV

I asked the maids to leave my quarters immediately and they finished bathing me. I don't like it when they dress me up. I never liked it since I was little and I still don't like it even as I am now the alpha.

I have a lot to do already, I already asked that a message be passed across to the council, I will be holding a meeting with them tomorrow as regards my leaving and who will take my place in my absence, all important and confidential matters still come to me first, then I will be proceeding to talking to the entire park informing them of my decisions.

My mind flew to Jax, my mind shudder in anger as I remembered him, gosh I can't believe that the moon goddess decided to punish me and make that fool my mate, the moon goddess could not choose anyone else but him to be my mate, and now that I even think about it, I now consider it a blessing in a way, probably the moon goddess orchestrated this so I can get my revenge on him.

Tomorrow my journey to avenging my father's death begins.
