Four

KYRA’S POV

I tried hard to sleep. I honestly did. But, it seemed like small pins were piercing through my heart in ways I couldn’t describe. Oh, moon goddess! What did I do to deserve this?

I shot out of bed as quickly as I had gotten in. I had to talk to Blake again. I couldn’t just take all he said like that. It hurts so hard when he kisses someone else.

If he didn’t want me, it would be best for him to reject me. I wasn’t so strong that I would bear this pain continuously. I grabbed one of my coats, and walked out of the room, repeatedly heating my heart in a bid to stop the pain I felt.

The house was so quiet, save for the occasional sound of winds crashing through the trees. Maybe I should go back? No, it won’t be scary. Maybe that’s why I didn’t get my wolf due to my incessant fear. I will have to learn how to be bolder.

With that thought in mind, I walked through the hall, and into the main suites. I was about to step outside, but the sounds of pure arousal greeted my ears.

I moved closer to the source, and it was coming directly from Blake’s room. I bit my lip. The pain in my chest seemed to intensify as I walked closer to the door. The pins twisted like the sadists it was.

Why was I the one that needed to suffer the pain? The bastard wasn’t feeling anything... He was having the time of his life.

The sounds of sex coming from the room seemed to slow down a bit. Before I could knock on the door, the door opened and Blake stepped out of the room, dripping sex.

He was shirtless, and his hair was tussled. I looked away from it all, annoyed that it had any effect on my body, even though I hated this situation.

“Baby, where are you?” Cindy’s voice piped up an octave.

“I will be there soon, love,” Blake said in response.

He grabbed me by the arm, and moved me to the other side of the wall. Cindy wouldn’t be able to hear a thing from here. His gaze bored me, as he looked at me coldly like he could barely recognize who I was. I tried hard not to show how sad that made me feel.

“What do you want?” He asked almost at once.

I took a deep, shaky breath. This wasn’t how I planned the confrontation to be in my head. His face was hard, it was worse to keep calm in such a situation.

“I wish you could respect me slightly as your mate. I know…”

“What?” He said in rage.

“I…”

He raised his hands threateningly to my face.

“You stupid maid think you’re worthy to be respected? I don’t understand how delusional one can get. You’re nothing but a maid to me, and if you ever call me your mate again, I will skin you alive. Do you understand?” He snapped in rage.

Tears dropped from my eyes. I tried to hold tight to my self-control, but it was so hard to do that when the only man whom the moon goddess blessed as my mate hated me so much.

“I don’t want to see you around me. Stop trying to stay around me or be close to me. I will not take it. You’re nothing to me, so you need to understand that. I’m not meant to be yours in any way or form. Don’t push me to do things I don’t want to do.” He snapped, as he walked out from me.

I staggered backward in pain. I was nothing to him.

“Why don’t you reject me then?” I queried sadly.

He turned towards me, his eyes cold. “A stupid and useless maid like you doesn’t have a place to demand things.

I felt like I had been beaten in a billion ways. What have I done to deserve such a thing?

***

It’s been two days since that awful night. I’ve been trying so hard to be happy. I wanted to live life like I wasn’t shattered inside. Blake made sure to make it so difficult to do.

He kissed Cindy every time he saw me. It was getting too much now. I had no idea why he was doing this repeatedly. It hurt me more than I can ever imagine.

Today, I was done with my duties, and decided to take a slight break. It would be nice to take my head out of the water for a while. I walked over to my room, and brought out the tattered novel that one of the werewolves had penned down.

It had been difficult for Klaus Moon to pursue a career in writing, thanks to the narrow mentality of the Blood Moon Pack. Their beloved men had to fight and not nurture entertainment. It was a woman’s duty. But Klaus had stood his ground regarding this.

Now, I was reading one of his books. It was interesting, but I needed to drink water. I looked at my pitcher, and noted there was no single drop of water remaining. It needed an urgent refill.

With that, I stepped out of the room with the pitcher in my arm. I wasn’t so cheerful but I was a bit better. Cindy and Blake hadn’t made out for a few hours now. My heart would rest from the pain it was feeling.

“Are you sure about this?”

That was Alpha Hades. What could he be talking about?

“I’m positive father. I have known Cindy all my life, and I want her to be my Luna. I haven’t found my mate yet. How long would I wait? I have to take over from you someday. So, I believe this is the best option. The moon goddess had blessed her to be mine. I love her a lot, and that’s all that matters.”

My hands shook as I listened to that statement. It felt like a billion pins were after my body. I turned my back to flee from there, only for the pitcher to fall to the ground, shattering it into a million pieces.

“What was that?” Alpha Hades queried.
