MIGUEL'S P.O.V Father is trying to be obstinate instead of apologizing to her. Mother used her power on him, and he fell on his back. Only mother can lay a finger on the Alpha. “Don't you ever dare talk about death between us again. Can we go for the training now because I'm so sure Jason won't go easy on you tomorrow? I will not go easy on you tonight either” mother said and the battle began. “I never knew mother is this good” I whispered as she used her sword like a guru. “A Luna must know how to fight because she is the Alpha's assistant” Miquel whispered back. We watched keenly and mother seemed to be winning. I kept on studying every step she took. “Long live the Luna, long live mother” Miquel hailed excitedly before I could cover his mouth. “Greetings father” we bowed. Father was laying on the floor, breathing heavily. It was my first time seeing him in shorts and a shirt. Not until now did I realize father is younger than his age, since he was always in a huge renaissance.
MIQUEL'S P.O.V. “Father, what if my mate is not among them all?” I was on my feet already. “That means you have to marry one of them, not everyone is destined to have a mate, my son”. It's so shocking, mother isn't saying anything because she knows this can't work. Maybe she didn't disapprove because father's mind is made up. It's been five years, and he has declined to appoint a new beta. He sees mother as his beta. He is making everything tough for me. It was a love letter from a lady I don't know. She was ready to get united with a nonnative and also ready to endure every pain. She was ready to wait for my love. What on earth! What kind of woman is she? Father contended I have no option but to go along with the treaties. I stood at a hill, reasoning what to do. I can't select any of them. I'm just a lady like them. My coaching with Seneca ended two years ago, but I still consider him as my guru. It's a new place I discovered a couple of years ago that can relax the mind. A bre
MIGUEL'S P.O.V “You're stalked with a dumb girl,” I laughed. I step out of Miquel's room to grasp some fresh air, his immense room is suddenly too small for me, it's almost like I'm suffocating. That is when I begin to feel a pair of eyes on me. I turn around, but I see no one, yet I'm so sure someone is staring at me. Only Miquel and I are present in the room. I should be scared, but I don't feel any bit of fear whatsoever, instead, I feel excited. It was then that it hit me, the sweetest, yet most intoxicating smell ever. I'd never perceived anything so sweet before. I shut my eyes and inhale the scent, breathing in and holding it for a long time. I looked around, but I couldn't see anyone. I still feel uneasiness within me. I've not been this excited in a long time. She's there, I can feel it, I can smell her. So, I start to follow the scent, oh goddess, she is within the Pack house premises. I went back to Miquel's room. “You also want to marry the Alpha?” he demanded. I stared
MIGUEL'S POV “Yes it's me, how could you sacrifice your happiness for a loveless marriage?” he was more than disappointed. We are twins, and we shouldn't keep things from each other, right? “I know, but father wouldn't agree. He would think we are playing around since the lady doesn't know we are mates yet” I muttered. “You're planning to leave the Pack right, I will leave in your place, brother. It will be our little secret” he chortled. “Why the sudden happiness…wait, did you just say I should take your place as the Alpha? No way” He wants to put me in trouble again. There is no way I'm agreeing to that. “I'm happy because I will find my mate where I'm going. You might not understand now, but you will surely understand one day that you're the right person to the throne as the Alpha. My only role is to support you brother” he avowed, patting my back. “Just do this for your brother for the last time…we will both benefit from it” he gushed delightedly and I sighed. “Father might
MIGUEL'S POV“You can turn back” She took a small robe and put it on. Her cleavages were still showing. How can I control myself or the beast in me? I'm so naive in this!“This wasn't our agreement, so you should get yourself clothed, fully” I mumbled, emphasizing the word ‘fully’ looking at the floor. What if she is aware we are mates? The thought made me stare at her. She stood up, staring at me.“I know the agreement is for us to make this fake, but after that day, father read my mind. He threatened he would kill me if I ever played on his intelligence” she gulped.“So what in the world is this dressing about? He wouldn't dare hurt the Alpha's bride, would he” I snickered? If he ever tried it, he would lose his life.“I know, but have you thought about what would happen when he tells the whole Pack our marriage is counterfeit? Your father is a strict man, and he may have us beheaded” she shuddered. I'm the bigger criminal here, if father ever discovered he married off the wrong son,
Two different strangers MIQUEL'S POV “Faster!” I snapped at the horse. It was late at night. I needed something tangible to bribe Seneca, so he could agree to go to the human world with me. I stopped as I stared into the green wood. If only I had my transformation already, I would have caught something earlier. It's been three hours. Everywhere was already silent. Miguel will be getting married tomorrow, and I'm happy for him. My encounter with his mate shows the lady will make a great partner and our future Luna. The breeze blew the leaves to a different angle. I wasn't going to give up. That's what my guru always told me. I heard some faint footsteps approaching far away. I stared in every direction and there it was. A big bear. I was so excited, my hard work paid off. I took an arrow and aimed it, calculating if it would work. I had my suspicions. It will, but that won't bring him down. I aimed the arrow to his back leg. The bear groaned and sped off. “Yah!” I scream
MIQUEL'S POVHuman World: Gilead “That was more than I expected from a woman…” He started slowly, making me stand on my own. “However, this blade is quite dangerous,” he smiled, returning the knife to his sack. I could hear running horses, and so could he. “I'm sure he went this way,” the stranger I encountered earlier said. The pervert stared at me and covered me up with his robe. “Follow me” he pulled me forward, but I protested. He stopped in his tracks. “It will be the end both for me and you if we are caught in these woods” it wouldn't have been if I was in my robe' I wanted to spat that in his face but stopped. I had no option but to run with him. “Get them!” the man barked, and they started chasing after us. Who are these people really? Can they be from Jason? Or are they rogues. What will rogues be doing in our pack, of all places? We kept running, but halted in our steps when we got to the end of the road. It was a mountain and down there was a deep sea.
MIGUEL'S POV “You're Miguel!” Mother screamed at me and I hurriedly covered her mouth. “Yes, Miquel overheard our conversation, and he persuaded me to stay while he goes searching for his mate, it was more like a loveless marriage by the way” I muttered. “Do you know the implications of what you're doing? You deceived us all. Your bride, inclusive!” Mother shot back. I get she fears the repercussions of my actions. “I wouldn't have done this if I didn't know the implications, mother. Aside from that, Valeria is my mate” I chortled. She stared at me unbelievably. “You punk, you deceived even your mother, how dare you” she said, beating me playfully? “Mother, that hurts” I mumbled and she stopped. “I wonder how my son is doing, your father didn't take the search seriously thinking it was you” mother said absentmindedly then covered her mouth at her last statement. “It's alright mother, I would have denied the fact he is my father if not that I'm a twin” I
