But I couldn’t make my heart deny her last wish.
I took a deep breath to calm my mind and nodded.
I weak smile formed on her face and how her eyes lit up I know it meant the world to her.
“Let me change and I will join you in bed, we can sleep together,” I said and get up without giving her any time to respond.
I called a maid and ordered her to prepare Rose for bed and then return to my room.
I strip off my clothes and stand below the shower.
I close my eyes, holding the shower wall for support, and let the water slide down my naked body.
I didn’t know why, but I was not liking this thing.
Though I was angry with rose her sad and frail face was coming in front of my eyes, making me feel guilty.
Did I do wrong while pulling them into my mess?
If I wouldn’t take them as my Luna and wait for my mate, was it the right thing to do?
Though I have nothing to do with their death somehow the curse was responsible for taking their life, which I was unaware of.
Though I have nothing to do with the rose I am responsible for the death of the other two of my mate.
A knock made me come out of my daze.
“Alpha Luna is waiting for you.” A maid informed and I turn off the shower to come out, wrapping a bathrobe around my body.
I changed into my pajama and walked toward her room.
When I got back to her room, she was waiting for me, leaning her back over the headboard about how I left her.
Though she has changed into her sleeping wear and I noticed she has done some makeup too as her face was not pale like before.
Noticing me entering her room, she gave me a full-blown smile.
I know she wouldn’t have expected it. I would agree with her demand because I have never done that before.
But today I couldn’t deny her request.
I got on the bed and lie beside her.
She rolled over and put her head on my arm and we sleep in a cuddling position.
I was brushing her hair softly with my fingers, and she closed her eyes with contentment.
But I know she was awake, just enjoying the moment.
I thought she would fall asleep, but she was intending to make a conversation
“When I will be gone? Will you take another chosen mate?” She asked, closing her eyes.
I was not expecting her question, so I looked at her with a surprised expression
She was looking at me expectantly, but I didn’t have any answer to this question and I look away.
I have never wanted to take a chosen mate ever.
“I don’t know. I didn’t think about this. I have taken you because you are a sweet girl and I didn’t want you to live a life like other omega having alpha blood.” I expressed my reason to her for marrying her.
Though I wasn’t bound to take her in my care, I felt that appropriate at that time.
I wanted to provide her with safe heaven.
Her pack has been demolished after the war.
I have demolished and joined it with my pack and made a place for the pack members.
But if she wouldn’t have been my mate, she would become a normal pack member and lived a life like an omega.
“I know. You have always been my heaven. I don’t regret being your Luna.” She said and her word makes me surprised.
“I thought you would hate me,” I said honestly, and she smiles.
“That’s not possible. If you love someone, you can’t hate them. Your heart won’t allow it. And you are not a bad person. You have never treated me unfairly,” she said, and a sneer came out of my mouth instinctively.
“It was my heart that desired something that can’t become mine.” She said with a sad tone and I can hear the regret in her tone.
I never thought she would think like this about me.
Normally, if a relationship breaks, the person blames their partner.
But here she was defending me and taking the blame herself.
“But I regret I couldn’t be the person you desire.” She said in a sad tone and I look at her confused.
It was not her fault.
I have seen her trying.
She has made every effort that can be done to woe, someone.
But sometimes you can’t fight fate.
“But I hope this time you find your other part of the soul. Your mate.” She said and I look at her, widening my eyes.
I was taken aback by her confession.
I wanted to ask why she hope that.
Isn’t it hard for her to think about me with a person she could never become?
But She hid her face in my chest and closed her eyes tiredly.
I know she must be feeling tired with all the talking as her health was not in her favor.
So I let her rest and hold her in my arm though I couldn’t sleep.
Her breathing was falling into my chest and I noticed it was getting abnormal.
I felt she was having a hard time taking a breath and I run my hand through her back to make her feel comfortable.
But with time it became slow, and I felt her breathing stop.
I got up worriedly and checked her pulse, which was absent.
I wanted to call the doctor, but I felt her body go limp and it was getting cold slowly.
Her face was looking calm, and I felt happy thinking she has left the world in peace.
But the next day something abnormal happened.
When we were preparing her body for burial, I noticed a cut mark on her neck, and the mark on her wrist, which was getting faint, stood out like eyes sore.
I was with her all night after her death and I didn’t notice it then.
Then who made those marks on her body and what is their motive?
It didn’t take me long to understand when an uproar started inside the pack and rumor come flying my ear which disturbed me.
The rumor was I killed my mate.
Lilia’s P.O.V. I woke up in my lavish bed in a very lavish room of the Blood Stone pack. I was living here for the last four years, but this place never felt like home. It can never be because I was living like a cannery in a golden cage. My pack Rocky Heels was attacked by the alpha of the Blood Stone pack four years back. We thought we will lose everything in his war, but the alpha’s eyes fell on me, and he wanted me for himself. He offered my dad to hand me over to him and he would let him remain alpha in return but under his guidance. My dad thought it would be great as he won’t have to sacrifice his pack and title of alpha. So he sacrificed me. I also didn’t object because as a daughter of the alpha I had some duty toward my pack. And I would be glad to sacrifice my life for the sake of my pack. But the alpha kept me locked in the packhouse of Blood Stone pack as I was still underage. I was fourteen years then and now I will be eighteen in two days. Alpha Ezekiel, th
“Luna, Alpha is waiting for you downstairs. Guests have arrived and the auspicious time will start soon.” One of my personal maids came to inform me. Hearing her word, my heart skipped a beat, and it felt like my life is close to its ending. I wanted to turn around and flee from this place, but I was helpless. “Give me some minutes. I will be there.” I said, and she left after bowing to me. In an hour, the moon will be at its highest point and then they will perform the ceremony. My Luna ceremony. Which will bind me to this pack and also to Ezekiel. It will wipe away the power of my mate bond and will bind me with Ezekiel forever. If I would have been an alpha, this bond wouldn’t be able weak my mate bond. But Ezekiel’s power is more than mine, so his aura will dominate the aura of my wolf. I took a deep breath and get up from my seat. I looked at myself in the mirror for the last time. From now onwards I won’t be Lilia. I will be someone’s mate and Luna of this pack. My
“Alpha Damien, we used to be friends. Don’t ruin this thing by making some stupid mistake. Your action will spoil not our friendship but our pack’s peace too.” Ezekiel Threatened him. But my mate was looking at me unfazed and it felt like he can’t see anything other than me.He was looking at me like I was so treasureI can feel the atmosphere changing as the happy moment is changing into something ugly and I know this thing will get nasty soon.“Do you think I care? I have waited for my mate for twenty-five years of my life. Nothing is more important than her.” He says, and I look down.I couldn’t look into his eyes as I was guilty.I know he is here to claim what is his, and I didn’t have any right to stop him.I was fated to be his.But my fate has played a cruel game with me.My fate has bound me with Ezekiel.Even if I want to wrap my body with his scent and curl
I was waiting for too long, closing my eyes for his dreadful announcement.Tears were rolling down my eyes continuously.“Lilia,” he called me, but I didn’t open my eyes.I can’t face him anymore.I have disappointed him.I have failed our bond. I couldn’t give him what he deserved.“Look at me,” he said sternly, placing his hand on my cheek and I open my eyes and look at him with an apologetic gaze.“I, Damien, Alpha of the Moon Flower pack won’t accept your rejection. You are my mate and will always be, I would never accept it till my last breath.” He said lovingly.His face held a smile but his eyes are red with tears.But he was holding it inside.I felt guilty seeing her pained expression.“No, you can’t do that. She has rejected you. You can’t reject her rejection.” I hear Ezekiel growl.He was act
Damien’s P.O.V.It has been a month since Rose left our life.I thought I wouldn’t be affected.But her last words left a deep impact on my sanity.How couldn’t I notice she loved me so much?When she died, I was feeling guilty about her.But there was not an ounce of love.I was just regretting taking her as my mate and ruining her life.I was so lost in my sadness that I couldn’t realize that she was suffering, too.I wanted to provide her with a place where she can live happily and peacefully.But I didn’t know this palace became a cage for her and she wanted her freedom.I was happy that she got her peace.But I feel guilty thinking about how I am the reason for her suffering.Her last word still rings in my ear.“But I hope this time you find your other part of the soul. Your mate.”How could someone love another person with so much
When I got in my car and Peter started the car and we drove away from his pack, leaving my mate with that asshole.My wolf came to the surface and started to yell at me.“How could you leave her alone? She needs us. She needed to be protected.” My wolf, Chaos, was angry. He wanted to protect her keep her close and comfort her.Leaving her with someone else was making him unsettled.He was constantly complaining in my head, and that was causing me a headache.“Shut up.” I berated him and he whimpered sadly.I rarely become angry with him because most of the time he acts calmly.But today he was not thinking as I think.We can’t act on impulse today.This matter is complicated.“Do you want our mate to hate us?” I asked, and he shook his head.He was scared because I scolded him so loudly, but he was not thinking sanely about what I could do.“Have you not noticed how his word was making her submit to him? He has something in his hand which was making our mate helpless. He was using her
Lilia’s P.O.V.The next morning when I woke up the sun was shining brightly.I look at the clock, and it was hitting twelve.I become shocked thinking I slept till noon.I tried to get up, but I hiss in pain.My whole body was sore as I was sleeping on the floor and my feet were paining as I left my wound untreated.My head was also aching badly.And I was feeling dizzy too.I had nothing after lunch on the last day, so maybe that’s why I was feeling weak.I got up and knock on the door to take a chance, but like last night no one bothered to open it.I thought Ezekiel’s anger must have calmed down after the passing night.But when I remember how angry he wasThe room was a disaster, so I slowly got up and walked toward the bed.Though I didn’t want to share the bed that Ezekiel used my body was retaliating.I needed to lie down before I fall unconscious againSo I walked toward the bed and lean on the headboard tiredly.A few minutes later, someone opened the door, and a maid entered
I was so scared that I didn’t know what to do.My wolf Selena came forward and gave me the most needed strength.“Lilia, we can’t lose today. Chaos has told me to stay put. He would come to take us.” Selena said.Chaos was Damien’s wolf.I have heard from Selena how lovesick she was when chaos talked with her and how she wanted to be with him.I don’t know about Damien, but if Chaos has promised Selena, he would surely come.I can’t get weak and fail our mate.I desperately wanted to get away from him, so my instinct kicked in.I bent my leg and hit him with my knee where the sun doesn’t shine.His face contorted in pain, and his hand also got loose on mine, giving me a way to escape.I knew this is the moment I need to act sensibly.I pushed him with all my might and get off the bed, making as much distance from him as possible.But before I could reach the door, he held my leg and pulled me down.I fell on my face and hit my forehead on the table which was kept there.My head was bl
