"Mira, Mira!" The monkey called out severally to me.
"What is it? What's going on?" I fell curious hear it's reply as it panted heavily.
"The new general and his trustee, that werewolf you met just yesterday, he and his men are planning to kill you. They want to sacrifice you to the goddess for more power to him."
That was exactly like Alden, he only cared about power, but love?..
He stupidity claimed to love me..
I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
And how about Liam, my own mate…
Did he care?, or did he love?..
Love was very unpleasant and deceitful to me very unclean and unpure, and I wasn't ever going to fall into it's arms again.
"Why are you taking it to be not serious?" The monkey asked as I looked really stupid laughing at myself.
"It's nothing I just had a really huge realization." I replied and calmed myself down.
"Come let me tell you their words exactly." The monkey gestured for me to come closer and I moved towards it reluctantly because I didn't really care whether or not I lived or died as long as my soul rested in peace.
The monkey covered both my ears with its little hand and I fell into a trance immediately.
***********
(Trance begins**)
"Long live the general," Alden's trustee approached him with a huge smile on his face – a smile of deciet.
I couldn't really see Alden's expression was the monkey had apparently stayed at a corner behind him.
"I have come to speak with you concerning the Luna, Lady Mira. Since she has refused to accept you as the general and her new mate, she prefers a low life like Liam, then I believe that she should be punished." His trustee said and it seemed like I had just being given a big slap on my face because I knew vividly that Alden's trustee had always hated me and wished to take me out if the way so Alden would remain foolish with no one to help him.
"I will talk to her and I know she will oblige." Alden replied after a moment of silence.
"She will never! Don't you remember how stubborn she was to you yesterday? She disrespected you, therefore she must get her punishment." His trustee protested.
I really felt like punching his teeth off as I would really prefer to be banned for life from the pack than to serve or respect Alden.
"That is true..but I love her too much not to hurt her." Alden confused. I wouldn't lie it touched me because Liam had never in his life confessed to ever love me, so it made me realize that Alden was more of a soft creature than Liam.
"She is not to be loved, you remember that she is a witch and you killed her father. No matter how hard you try she will never accept you." He literally spatted saliva into Alden's face but Alden was stupidly gulping in all the saliva.
"I..I really do love her a lot." For the first time in my life Alden's voice had sounded so real and serious to me.
His face was to the floor but I couldn't see his expression.
"If you don't want to kill her then you can sacrifice her to the moon goddess. That way you will get rid of her, get another mate, and get more power most especially." That was it, he really knew how to get him.
But honestly what Alden didn't understand was that, with great power comes great responsibility. My father used to tell I and Liam back when we were younger.
"Would it not be a crime to sacrifice a Luna?" Alden asked.
"Further Luna. She isn't Luna yet as long as you both haven't been made mates." His trustee replied almost immediately but it was false, even though I and Alden weren't mates as long as I was mated to the next alpha making me the next Luna of the pack makes me entitled to being with any other wolvmf who gets chosen if anything should happen to my mate, the next alpha general of the pack.
"So all these won't anger the moon goddess?" Alden asked.
"Yes, it definitely won't." His trustee replied.
"Ok." Alden agreed after a long while of thinking..
That was love wasn't it…..
(Trance ends**)
**********
The monkey took its hands off my ear and I slowly opened my eyes.
"We have to be careful." The monkey said as soon as my eyes were fully open.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of being sacrificed to the goddess but I just wish for Cridwan to be better at the end of the day." I said with a bitter smile.
"I will always be here. All the way." The monkey replied and touched my crystal.
Before I could reply we heard a knock on the door.
We both turned to each other and I stood up straight "Who's there?"
"The general wishes to see you at his chambers, Lady Mira." A servant said behind the door.
"I'll be there." I said to excuse the servant.
"Shall we?" I said to the monkey with a smile.
It climbed on to my shoulder and used my hair to yield itself from falling off.
"You asked to see me?" I said as I walked into his chambers.
He had a robe on that made him look nothing different from the a mere human.
"Come to me, Mira." He said looking drenched in alcohol.
"Can I know why you are calling me?!" I asked firmly.
"Because I want to see you. I need you, Mira. Don't you get it? Let us be Luna and Alpha." He said and felt irritated honestly.
"Over my dead soul!" I said with no sign of respect or even pity that it would hurt him.
"I will never be the Luna to a stupid and unreasonable Alpha." I continued.
"Oh really? So Liam's better then? So he's the more reasonable Alpha?" He was obviously hurt and I liked every bit of it. At least I could torture him before I die as I didn't get to do it to Liam, instead he sent heavy daggers into my soul….
"Maybe, at least he's way better than you." I replied to piss him off the more.
"Who do you think you are?" He yelled out in rage.
"A nobody, just like you.." I replied with a very mockery smile.
"I hate you so much, Mira. Why on earth can't you love me like you love him?" He walked over to me.
"Mira please understand that I have loved you every since and I promise to protect you and never leave you like Liam did " he held both of my hands in his as I was in human form also.
He tried placing his hands on my cheeks but I brushed it away.
"That's Liam's favorite spot to kiss me." I looked away as I had actually lied. Liam had never even attempted to kiss me, neither had I..
His eyes were full of hurt and I say it, but I was never giving in. I would prefer to be thrown out of the city than to be taken as a servant of his.
"I honestly hate to see you love him, and I will fight till the very moment I have you on my bed." He placed his hand on hmtge wall to trapped me in between.
So that was his plan – to get me on his bed and toss me off like trash.
If that was it then I preferred to die than to be used as a whore like a human or a demon.
"I will prefer to die than to be mated to you, Alden." I spat at his face and pushed him off.
"If that's your decision then you really deserve to die you daughter of a blind seer." He insulted.
"Thanks a lot." I said and rushed out of his chambers.
If that was the lead of fate then I would prefer to have it that way..
