Chapter three _ Patner not luna

Liya's POV

None of the stories that humans were told about were myths.

Infact, everything looked more graphical in real life, from the hollow walls that had silver chandeliers and very dimmed out lights to the wooden carved antiques mirrors and tables.

There was low jazz music playing in the background, and the female werewolf outfits were blinding my eyes.

They were all dressed like they were ready to kill and their gowns glittered all over the room.

I could not get my eyes off how stunning they were and I was mesmerised by how eloquently they talked,walked and interacted with the male Werewolves.

Alpha Trexor had invited me to their gala. It felt surreal.

“If you stare at them for that long, they would know you are human.”

My heart jumped when I heard a voice from behind me and a hand landed on my shoulder.

I turned around immediately with my hands to my heart.

The face in front of me looked very familiar but I could not remember where I had seen it before.

“How do you know I-”

“Oh no you shouldn't.” He said with a small smile and took a sip from his drink.

It was not adding up.

“I am sorry, am I supposed to know you from anywhere?”

I asked in a low tone as to not to trigger him.

I caught a wide glimpse of his physical appearance and he looked attractive but not like werewolf.

“Well I'd be damned if you don't know who I am”

“I don't”, I replied quietly but defiantly.

“You know, I would have thought that maybe the Alpha had sucked parts of your brain but werewolves are not vampires.”

I blinked, confused at first but then my brows curved into a frown.

I cleared my throat, attempting to divert the conversation.

“I'm a bit overwhelmed”

“Why? You should be feel lucky and not overwhelmed.”

“Why?”

“I mean it is not everyday that the Alpha of a pack takes in a young female human as his Luna.”

“I am not his Luna-yet. I am just his Partner.”

“Partner? Damn. That is a weak word. Maybe you are not as lucky as I thought.”

My mind frazzled. He was speaking in puzzles and I was having a hard time putting pieces together.

“How do you mean and if I may ask, why are you so concerned about my business?” I asked him with a straight face so he would know how serious the conversation was getting on my end.

Like jeez who was this man

I scanned the hall, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Alpha or that stinkhead that had me captured.

I was trying to remember his name, Alpha Trexor had called him Omega B….

“Look around, do you see any werewolf looking young or as naive as you?”

I swallowed hard and turned, scanning the room again, and he was right. Every wolf in the room looked older. 

“No.”

“Good, I think I should address you as Young human?” He asked with a raised brow, his gaze fixed on me.

“Do you see me as a child?”

“Not just a child but as someone that the Alpha would never make Luna.”

My heart dropped, something inside of me felt triggered and I refused to accept whatever he just said.

I snapped at him.

“Bullshit. He saved me from ending up like other humans and he took me into his den, he made me food, gave me expensive outfits and he-he kissed me.”

I shut my mouth immediately, silently berating myself for being stupid.

“Did he mate with you?”

I shook my head.

“No, not really. It is not mating season yet, is it?”

“Alphas mate at any and every season, Liya. It does not matter. He does not love you enough to make you his wife.”

His eyes shot darts into mine, and my entire being shook.

I blocked my mind from thinking of the worst possibilities.

We were both attracted to each other at first sight and I was not going to be told otherwise.

“Because I am young?”

“The age gap might be much but that might be the secondary issue. It is mostly because you are human.”

“Who told you that Werewolves do not fall in love and mate with humans.”

“It has never been heard of, Liya. I'm right, aren't I?”

“And what if the Alpha wants to break that chain?”

My pitch was getting higher, irritation filled my face and my blood had started boiling from anger.

“I have known this Alpha before you were born, Liya. I have shown up to multiple werewolf parties with the intention to get them to give Humans a fair right in the world but the Alpha swears that over his dead body would he allow that.”

“Love is a strong and intense feeling that can turn things around, and I do not appreciate how pessimistic you have been.”

“Pessimistic? Nah I am just looking out for you. I do not want your heart broken by the Alpha.”

Hearing those sentences gave me PTSD. I suddenly remembered how my high school boyfriend broke up with me and left my heart in shambles.

I remembered every tear that left my eyes, every role he accused me of and every promise he broke.

“The Alpha is sensible and knows what he wants. He is older than I am-like you said and I believe that he loves and accepts me.”

I replied, turning around and walking away briskly before he would reply me.

He called after me.

“I am only interested in you, Liya, because you might be the saviour we all need. He might get a soft spot with you and you might influence him to change his mind. There is a possibility”.

I stopped in my tracks.

“Hmm…”

I bit my lip and thought for a second. 

“Yes, think about it. And act wisely”.

He chuckled, “You're running out of time”.

I rubbed my chin lightly, temporarily lost in my thoughts. Then somehow it clicked, something he'd said.

If you stare at them for that long, they would know you are human.

How could he have known, if he was a wolf I'd have noticed. He had the scent and soul of a human - we were able to feel it as humans.

Then the only human who would party with wolves….

Oh shit!

I turned around abruptly. He was gone.
