Chapter 8

This was all because of me, the child that was before me became an entity of hate, all because of me.

His sinister politeness wept pores in my skin.

I could feel every ounce of treachery spiral, to think my heir was to be the one who wants to end my bloodline, to end his own mother.

“My sole purpose has been to kill you mother” he said, and my heart traded into shades of guilt and agony.

“Who sent you ?” I said to him, it was evident his former allies were not friendly.

It was visible in his appearance, like a younger mini me, lean but muscular with an aura so supreme it even held his mother to cut.

“It is not who sent me but why I was sent “He said, that was already portrayed, his sole mission was murder.

“You will speak when I command,” I said, fed up with his evil curtesy.

“And you shall command with caution” he said, spitting in her face and name.

It was then I knew that I couldn’t accept him, he was a curse, a mistake burned out of me. And before he could do anything to harm Eva, I should ruin him.

Eva was more important now, an heir could be mated and formed at any moment, but this woman named Eva. My true Luna, was more important than any hypocrisy could survey.

“He is to be casted” I said with a heavy heart.

Faces looked at me but with a different impulse.

One face looked at me joy and antagonism, the other looked at me with hatred. No this was not hatred, this was more than loathe, the look she had on her face on me meant war. She was ready to go to war for him, even though he wouldn’t bat an eye to kill her .

“You bluff with your tongue” Eva said, still as calm and powerful as ever.

“You must understand he will annihilate your existence”

It was true, the power he had was so strong and so deadly.

“I do not care, he is mine”Eva said, stubborn to a core.

Who could blame her, who would willingly choose to ridden their child, their first creation.

“You seem to forget, I didn’t come here to tally”

The boy coiled, no this boy was danger “

“You would be used as a sacrifice to the goddess’s ” I said.

“You would do no such thing Alpha” Eva supported her son.

I was lost, lost between both beings.

I would have to sacrifice one for another to be alive, and even when I know what to do. It was still a problem.

Eva was firm on her ground, leaving no room for second chances or confusion. I caused the bitter soul in her and it will only be fair to protect her now.

But that protection was her life force, to give up what you so longed for , I know that feeling.The feeling of losing something and finding it again, o my to discover that it was never yours.

That was the situation between me and Eva.

The three dots lined into a paradox.

I was in an ironic situation with Eva, and he with his mother. Multiples of parallel ends.

“You seem to underestimate him.. he is not just a child” I said trying so hard to get to her.

Repeated and repeated, I pounced on it trying to make Eva reason between logic and sentiments. But her eyes were hurt enough to shut me out and never trust me again.

“You abandon me yet again father” Eryx, the name he claimed to have spoken with the sinister look on his face.

“You were never meant to be created “ I said with a commandful sigh, trying to hold the maintenance between order and emotions, trying to let my wolf not get trapped to obey my creation.

A smirk was seen on his face, it lasted briefly before he did a trick.

His wolf had descended.

Wolf?… at such a young age?… how could he even yield the mortal combat to control it?

It was only for a couple of seconds, but the power was sure intact. This boy spilled fire and meant business with each step.

“So you handle your powers well” I said to him, with a hint of amusement and pride.

“I inherited it from the very best, I am an Alpha creator after all” he said, so he was.

“Do you still feel I am weak enough to be an outcast, dear father ?” Again, his words are so delicate..

“I do not care about your combat abilities or strength, that wasn’t enough to erase reality.

“And you?… Do you think you’re worthy enough of yours ?”

The audacity of this child, he challenges me like he had known me since birth.

Wait, does he ?…. his former companions could’ve known about me and trained him not just to hurt Eva, but also manipulate me.

“What are you?” I asked, he was more than I had expected.

“I am you, “ he answered with no fear.

To think people feared only my footsteps but this little tender boy didn’t even fear if my wolf had flashed through my eyes.

Was this the price to pay for my sins?…

“Come Eryx “. Eva called to her destruction once more.

The boy went to her, the coalition of love and hate forming.

She kissed his forehead, as he stayed in her arms.

“I do not care what malfunctioned you, you will be cleansed and fixed instead of using the easy way of being killed, I would never let you go even if it cost me my life”

And a life it shall cost her, a life I would grief over and over again.

They had left me in the woods, I was left with two .

A realization crept in me

Astra wasn’t spilling nonsense, even in her selfish nonsense, everything started to make sense.
