Chapter 25 – I Can’t Be Your Mate
Antheia’s POV
“Mates are destined for each other, but you know, sometimes, some people mess up, whether during or before or after they have found their mates. Your father might have had you with your mother before he met his mate which is now the Luna of the Muggar Pack. That means that it turned out that your mother was not his mate, yet he had you in her, and, that’s kinda messed up.” The Alpha replied.
“So I should have not existed?”
“Everything has a reason, Antheia, and you were born because the moon goddess wanted to place you in this world.”
“How about you, Alpha? Have you found your mate already?” I asked and the question was thrown back at me.
“How about you? have you found yours?” he asked and my eyes wandered around the room, and unconsciously, I found myself biting my low
Chapter 26 – Do Not Push Him AwayThird Person POVI was left in confusion and I do not know why I felt hurt a well that the Alpha left. I heard my wolf Fines whimpered at his disappearance.~’Is he our mate? Did you know?’ I asked Fines.~’I never knew what to call it but I felt his wolf, that he was something to me, that he was my missing puzzled, that whenever he is around I feel completed, like he was my other half, but I never knew the word to call it. But now I understand, we are mates. He is our mate, Antheia.’~’But what if they are just lying?’~’And why would they lie to us?’ Fines retorted and then she added ‘you can feel it Antheia. I know that you can feel it too. You can also feel the different pull we have to him.’There was a knock on the door and my head looked at it
Chapter 27 – Never Been LovedAntheia’s POVI wanted to argue with Fines again but I chose not to. I know that we can feel it, that there is something pulling me towards the Alpha. I have always wondered why I felt different with him. And I had never knew what to call it, and now they are saying that it was because of the invisible string called the mate bond. The string weaved by the moon goddess for two destined werewolves to be mates, to be with each other, to love each other for the rest of their lives, their other half.Is he my other half as well?But what if they are just tricking me?~’Again what would they get from wasting their time in tricking you? Trust him, Antheia, for I know and I can feel it. I trust his wolf, I can feel him. Just… argh! Do not mess this up, I am going back to sleep now.’ Fines uttered I my headShe is right.But do we r
Chapter 28 - A BetrayalAntheia’s POVIt has been five days and the Alpha never talked to me again. Whenever I timed him in the dining eating and I approach him, he would avoid me. And I would be left on my own. In the past five days, the Alpha had been busy, maybe his duties since he was always out and I rarely saw him. when I figured that I must have ruining his appetite when I approach him in the kitchen while he was eating, I stopped going to him when he eats. I do not want him to go out there with an empty stomach.And aside from that encounter, I was not able to approach him anymore and instead, every morning, I would just watch him train the pack warriors and join them on the open ground of the pack house which is visible from the view from the window of my room.And since I had nothing to do, just like in the past few days, today, I remain inside my room and just read books, and Lea just comes up to
Chapter 29 – A Similar PunishmentAntheia’s POVI walked down the stairs and I could smell the waffle and maple syrup wafting my nose already. My stomach rumbled for I was not able to eat dinner last night due to the scene I have witnessed. I have already come into a conclusion and peace with myself. I did not spend talking to the moon, more like to myself, in midnight for nothing.I have decided to forget what I saw, forget about mates, forget about love, forget about the Alpha and just live my life normally, like a common werewolf, who does day to day jobs. No complications, no hard feelings.I know that it is impossible to change overnight, but I will do my best to change and it starts now. I am getting everything out of my system already for I want to start anew.“Good morning, Greta.” I greeted with a smile to the old cook when she came out from the dining area, holding a jar o
Chapter 30 – Nightmare of the PastAntheia’s POVAgain, just like in some other nights and for the past years I was held slaved, I was visited by the nightmare of my past.An eight year old me, locked up in cell, yes, in a cell not in my room basement, but in a cell in the dungeon of my father’s pack.I had committed a grave mistake, but was it that grave that a little kid me had to suffer such thing and be treated like a captive?I was accused of being a thief, of stealing my sister’s money, which I never did. I cleaned her room, and tidied her things and did my best as an eight year old to clean up my sister’s spilled milkshake in her carpeted floor and was splashed on some of her notebooks. I was eight and my sister was 13, the other was 11, and my brother was 14.My father threw me in the dungeon, where in other cells were frightening rogues, baring their fangs and
Chapter 31 – Not Worthy of an AlphaAntheia’s POVIt was just a flash of coldness until he sighed loudly.“Move to the side.” He uttered and I frowned in puzzlement, wiping my own tears and sniffing back the fluid attempting to run out from my nose.“Huh?”“I said moved to the side.” He gestured but I did not move.And thus he squeezed himself on the small space on the side nearer to him, and lay down.“Wh…what—““You sit there til the morning or you sleep, your choice, but I will sleep here.” The Alpha uttered and turned to me, burying his face to my side and wrapping his arm around my waist, and his thumb had got its way under the hem of my shirt and brushed my skin on that spot, and there it is again, the tingling sensation I always get from him whenever our skin make contact.“Alpha! I
Chapter 32 – Alpha Raven LanfordAntheia’s POVThe Alpha turned around and checked the food. He was silent. And his silence was scaring me, but above it, it is starting to break my heart again.How many times does it have to break until it completely goes numb and die? Is this not a repeated torture?He stirred the sauce and I could smell the aroma of it, making me drool more in starvation.Minutes after minutes had passedand he still did not speak.Did he come to a realization already? That I am truly not worthy of him, tht he deserves someone better, someone whom he can brag about, someone that he can show to the other Alphas, someone he can display around and be proud of.And I am not that person.The moon goddess might have made a mistake of pairing us two. She could have just paired me to someone with a lower rank instead, to a pack warrior, or to a commo
Chapter 33 – Moving to His RoomAntheia’s POVI woke up with a faint cluttering and shuffling of feet in my room, that no matter how much the people inside try to make their movements as silent as possible, my werewolf senses were still able to pick it up. I opened my eyes and the curtain was already open, shining my room with the morning sunlight, welcoming me as I stretched my legs.My gaze landed then at the source of the noise and there I saw the pack helpers, yes I call them helpers for I refuse to deem them as servants or slaves because in the first place, they are being treated right and with respect in this pack even though they are in the low rank.They were in my wardrobe, taking out my clothes, dresses, pants, shirts, and shoes, and some were moving out and in of my room. Panic immediately rushed in me and I sat up, thinking what they are doing, are they packing my things to throw me out?!
