"Mom. What is it?" I asked as I saw my mother approaching me hastily.
"Mira, what on earth did you do to anger the general? Why can't you see that he is way better than that Liam?" Her mother asked with tears evident in her wolf eyes.
"He wants to sacrifice me doesn't he?" Then let him do it!" I walked angrily out of the cave with the monkey following behind me.
I turned into my wolf self as I ran to the stream to meditate.
"Can I be alone please?" I turned to the monkey as we arrived at the stream.
"Okay." It replied and went off to play with some other monkeys and I changed back to my human like figure.
I took off my clothes and rushed into the stream letting the cool water surround me.
As I danced calmly, meditating with my inner spirit I could feel someone approaching me.
"Can I join you?" I opened my eyes to see Alden.
"What do you want?" I asked as I was clearly without clothes in the water.
"To be with you.." he replied and behave to take off his clothes, then he walked into the water with only a cloth tied around his waist.
He wrapped his hands around me and I surprisingly didn't resist.
"Mira.." His pleasant yet cunny voice called out my name.
I knew exactly what he planned to do but I decided to be patient and watch.
"I sincerely don't want to harm you, but all I wish is a chance to be the perfect mate. Your perfect male wolf." He said and pulled his body on mine.
"You know that my heart is with Liam and only him." I had to admit.
"And I wonder why he has to have everything. The title, and then you?" He said with a glimmer of hatred for Liam in his eyes.
"So you want to have it all then?"
"Yes," he replied.
"I want all of you, including your heart." His leaned closer to me to place the edge of his nose on mine.
"That honestly can't happen Alden, not even if I tried. My heart will forever remain with Liam."
"Never! That's not true, you just haven't tried, Mira. Please try." He cuped my face with both of his claws and placed his lips on mine and I could taste the scent of alcohol.
"You shouldn't have done that, and also you shouldn't be drinking." I said after the gentle kiss.
"Will Liam come to kill me now?" He laughed and turned me around so I could back him, then he placed a soft kiss on my neck – something Liam had never done.
"Let's be Alpha and Luna, Mira. Let's have little baby wolves."
"Alden.." I moaned.
I had seriously moaned after how had I tried to control myself.
But before we knew it a force immediately threw Alden back to a tree with a great power and I couldn't help but feel that it was Liam..
But why had he come?
Why had he come if he really claimed not to love me?
"Ah.." Alden groaned in agony and I couldn't rush to help him as I was without clothes in the water.
That I thought, but the feel reason was because I could feel Liam's presence around me.
Had he come to claim me finally?, or was he still bent on procrastinating the whole thing.
"You really need to go, Alden. He will hurt you." I yelled out to him as I tried to stop Liam from moving forward to him once more.
He couldn't see him and neither could I, but I could feel his presence around me and his touch..
"Mira, let's go together. He might hurt you too." He said and I shoock my head.
Liam would never hurt me, but I knew how hot tempered he could be, and as always we would lay it off.
He must have been angry that I had let him play his lips on mine when we never did.
"I'll be fine, Alden. Just go."
Alden hesitated for a short while before limbing off as a log of wood was nearly used to smash him.
"Liam.." I called out with a very low and sweet tone.
He can't into vision and he looked huge and angrily, neither did he look like a werewolf or a demon like I had thought, but a Dygin like I was told.
"You dared to get with him, didn't you?" The voice was husky and firm.
"I wouldn't have if you could be with me." I walked out of the water not caring whether or not he was looking.
He kept mute and before I finished putting back on my clothes he had vanished..
I sighed and returned back to Cridwan, but my presence at that time seemed to be the wrong timing.
The whole wolves, witches, and wizards of the pack gathered around as the audience of the preparation of the sacrifice to the moon goddess.
I was pulled forcefully to the altar and was tied to a table where a priest was performing some rituals.
"Our mother goddess, we hereby give to you a wolf as the plead to accept the new general of Cridwan." The priest said as he raised his hands to the sky and the thunder and lightening sounds replied.
The werewolves howled and this moment made me remember the day Liam's fate was stated.
The priest signalled for me to be thrown into the seaming hot volcano for the hot lava to burn every inch and part of my body, giving my soul to the goddess.
"No, that's my daughter!" My mother tried to run to me but just like the past Luna, she was killed.
I watched my mother die in my eyes but I wasn't given the chance to run to her.
"Mira…" I saw Alden approaching and he looked unaware of the situation as he limbed forward. "Stop what ever you are doing now!" He ordered, buy behind was he trustee and he gestured for the guards to throw me into the volcano and I could hear Alden scream..
"Mira...….."
"It's for the good of everyone, My Lord." I could still hear the voice of that idiot – his trustee.
I watched as the hot lava burnt my body but yet I felt nothing – no pain, not even one bit.
But then I closed my eyes let it all go..
There was no use of surviving anyways so I let it all go…
I didn't believe that I would die on this day, but i was meant to die.
