CHAPTER 6

ROWAN’s POV

I didn’t know what to do for that woman to stop what she has been doing. Years had passed since Vivian disappeared, since she killed her. She had me marry her, she was my wife. Why couldn’t she just stay quietly by my side and not cause trouble?  

Was she that jealous and threatened by Vivian that even in her death she still couldn’t change? Aurora was not always like that. She was good when she came back, we got close, and we were friends. She was after all, Vivians’s sister.

They might have not been biological sisters, but Vivian loved her like she was. I loved her too as her sister. But then she did something to Vivian which I still didn’t understand why she could do something like that.

She didn’t deserve to be my wife, but father forced me to marry her so she could heal me. I had imprisoned her after Vivian disappeared. When father forced me to marry her, I went to the dungeon, only for my wolf to go crazy claiming she was our mate.

 I couldn’t believe how the Moon Goddess could be that cruel. “Alpha!” I snapped out of it and glared at my beta. “Am sorry alpha, but I have been calling you for the past five minutes. What are you thinking about?”

I also didn’t like what he made me do. I shouldn’t have asked Aurora for that amount of blood. But we made a bet, they said she had her limits, that she wouldn’t give me that much blood even if I was dying and because of the way I had been treating her.

I wanted to show them that she would do anything for me, she was mate, and she loved me. So, I agreed to the bet and indeed, Aurora gave me her blood without questions. She was that kind of a person before. Loving, kind and generous.

That side of her I liked and admired. But the wicket, jealous side, I hated the most. It made her do evil things. “Alpha, as I was saying, everything is ready to bring Ms Vivian back and with the blood from Aurora, we have everything we need.”

To bring Vivian back from the dead, I needed the Wolf mothers’ bone as well as a hearts blood from a beta  she wolf. Aurora was the only she wolf with beta blood in the pack, and I got her blood. I wasn’t going to; I was going to search for the blood and even pay someone for it.

But then my beta mention Aurora and baited me into asking her for the blood. My pride and ego couldn’t let them win. I asked them to call her and tell her I was in accident and needed the blood. But how stupid could that woman be to believe I needed that much blood?

I was a werewolf with healing powers, after healing me all those years, I was no longer weak. I could heal faster like other wolves. Why did she believe that lie? “Only clever when she is conniving and not when it matters.”

I mumbled under my breath feeling frustrated. “Did you say something, alpha?” I turned head looking at him, I wondered if he was worth all the trouble. He wasn’t very smart as well. “You know that blood is useless. For the ritual I need her hearts blood not just any blood. It must be drawn directly from the heart.”

“Oh, I thought just her blood as a she wolf of beta blood was enough.” Just as I thought, moron. My thoughts went back to the night Vivian disappeared. The day before her eighteenth birthday, I had intended to claim Vivian as my mate that day. I had always been sure she was my soul mate, only to be met with news of her disappearance.

Vivian only left a letter.  It said: “Why is Aurora always better than me? No matter how hard I try, I can never surpass her...” she was never seen again after that night. I hated that she died thinking Aurora was better than she was.

I thought I had shown her so much love that she wouldn’t doubt that she was enough for me. “How are we going to get her blood again, do you think she will agree if you ask again?” I clenched my fists. I didn’t want to do that to her, but I had no other choice.

I would ask but if she didn’t agree, I would have to force her. I needed that blood, I needed Vivian back even more. She was my Luna.

Aurora had forced my mate to her death, she forced her to end her life, she forced her to die. That was why she didn’t deserve to be my wife or mate. The Mood Goddess must have made a mistake when she paired us.

“Alpha!” I turned in rage. “Get the fuck out of my office, Jayson and stop fucking annoying me!” he looked taken back. “Get the fuck out! Busy yapping like a fucking annoying woman. Can’t you see I am trying to think here?”

Jayson looked offended but I didn’t care at that moment. I was torn, I wanted to save Vivian, no, I needed to save her. But I felt guilty having to force Aurora for her hearts blood. But that woman made it difficult for me to care for her.

She lied too much, she was deceitful. Like now, why would she lie about being pregnant, what did she take me for? Sometimes I wished it would have been better if she were never found. My Vivian would have never died. She would have still been with me.

“Alpha, something is wrong with the Luna.” I stood worried, “What’s wrong with her?” I was already by the door. “I don’t know alpha; she is sweating and seems to be in a lot of pain.” I opened the door ready to rush to her.

But then I thought of all the lies Aurora had told and her most recent one. Her pregnancy. I sighed closing my door. “Leave her be, it’s that time of year.”

‘I feel her pain Rowan.’ My wolf said. ‘I listened to you many times before and it turned out to be nothing. Stop being deceived by that mate of yours, it’s a waste of time and effort.’
