Chapter 2

Agatha's POV

 My eyes are still puffy in the morning. I didn't sleep all night thinking about the betrayal that happened. I can still imagine how they are now sleeping together in the room I usually share with Gerard.

 I gave up and left the mansion's second floor, heading to a small room in the corner of the back building. This room used to be a small warehouse, but a few months ago, it was suddenly cleaned out for some reason. Maybe my parents had predicted this bad day would happen.

 “What will you do after this, Agatha? I hope you don't keep lamenting the fate that has happened. You have to get up and forget everything.”

 “Easy for you to say that. You're my wolf, Pipe, and you should already understand what I'm feeling right now. Instead of asking me this and that, you should communicate with the wolf Gerard. Tell him to save Gerard from the snare of that bastard Vera. That's much better.”

 “You don't need to ask me because I already do it. What did I get? There isn't any. Gerard's wolf didn't respond to me. I'm not surprised. We both opposed each other when you and Gerard continued your relationship. We can't forbid it because that would be the same as going against what The Moon Goddess has written. Also, you look happy when you're with him. No matter how much I hate Gerard, I can't be the cause of losing your happiness."

 My tears fell again, remembering how Gerard usually brought me red roses. For the first time, I was truly angry with The Moon Goddess.

 “Agatha!” A knock on the door accompanied by a scream that screamed my name.

 I immediately got up and found my father standing in front of the door in neat clothes, typical of wanting to go to a faraway place.

 “Change your clothes now, and we will go.”

 "What? Where are we going, Dad? You didn't tell me we were leaving the pack today.”

 My father raised his eyebrows, and I hated seeing his expression like this. It feels evil and petty.

“Your ears just didn't put up with what I said yesterday. Didn't I tell you that I prepared a suitable partner for you? You have to get out of this pack soon, Agatha. I don't want other people, especially the alpha of the other pack, to think I failed to make my two daughters a Luna."

 I shook my head. "I don't want to go, Dad. I'm sorry, but I need time to be forced back to know the person who will become my partner. It's not an easy thing to get out of this heartache. I hope you understand. Just once, understand how I feel, and make me your favorite child like you always did with Vera. Only this time."

 I cupped my hands while asking my father to give a little understanding as well as kindness to him.

 "Don't let me do anything bad again. Are you still not satisfied with getting slapped in the face? Do you still need a blush? Five minutes, if you're not ready yet, then don't blame me for dragging your body, Agatha."

 My father moved while changing his form into a wolf, leaving me, who was still frozen with fear.

 Who is he referring to?

 “Pipes… do you know?”

 "I'm sorry, Agatha. I don't know anything. You know how hard and terrible your father was. In this pack, I can't approach anyone, and everyone is difficult to penetrate. The only thing you can do is follow your father.”

 "Yeah, but I'm too scared. For some reason, since yesterday's incident, it seems like my parents have shown their hatred for me too clearly."

 “If something bad happens, believe in your strength. I will always be there for you, Agatha.”

 **

 After almost two hours of traveling, we arrived at the Black Land's pack area. A terrible and arrogant alpha leads the most substantial pack. It is said that each partner will die horribly. He has had a partner more than ten times.

 “We're almost there. Black Land’s pack mansion is not far from this border.”

 My father's sentence certainly raised a thousand questions. "What do you mean, Dad? We are coming to the Black Land mansion?”

 "Yes, the partner I have prepared for you is Alpha Ferdinand, leader of Black Land."

 Like getting lightning in broad daylight, my body suddenly felt weak. What was my father thinking? Not only scary, Black Land is a pack of Lycans. I don't want my body to be destroyed to become his partner.

 "This isn't funny at all, Dad. I'm sure we're not going there." I'm still trying to calm down and put aside my father's attitude. Who would have the heart to do that to me?

 It was proven that my father did not give any response other than a cynical look and continued his steps into the Black Land forest area.

 I'm still sane enough to give life to the alpha he mentioned earlier. I mustered up the courage to scream. "I don't want to follow you. You're too crazy!”

 Instantly my father immediately turned his body and changed into a wolf form. He was ready to hit me, and I could only surrender while closing my eyes. I'd rather die from his attacks than be tortured in the Black Land.

 “Argh!”

 The sound of pain made me open my eyes, and I found a man with a sturdy body standing before me. His hand went to my father, who was now in pain in his human form.

 "Don't touch my partner, and only I can hurt him." The man turned to me with a wide grin.

 Honestly, his face is handsome, but the look in his eyes depicts sadism. I was amazed and scared at the same time.

 He suddenly pulled my hand, and he took me very quickly, exceeding the speed of werewolves in general. My father, who was lying on the ground, just left.

 "Don't leave my father, and he is in pain after all!" I tried to release the grip, but it was too strong.

 “You have no business with that idiot. You are already mine, Agatha. I am Ferdinand, leader of the lycan race in the Black Land pack. You are my partner, so you must obey me. You've left your father."

 My heart is beating wildly. What should I do now? Was it my fate to die at Ferdinand's hands?
