Chapter 4
Luna Fae walked closer to the couch with her husband and Valarie was sitting down, as sat beside her husband. She was hungry and needed to eat breakfast. So she decided to send Valerie to go and do that, actually she can just call any maid in the house or even the cook, but she doesn't want to do that.
"I should probably go to my room now." Valerie said, and stood up from the couch, and was about to start working out of the sitting room.
"Wait not so fast," Luna Fae said, and Valerie turned over to her.
"I want you to go into the kitchen right now, and make breakfast,or aren't you hungry?" Luna Fae asked.
"I'm actually hungry, I will go and make breakfast now." Valerie said, and Luna Fae nodded in agreement as Valerie started walking out of the sitting room.
Alpha Callan didn't really say anything about it. He was totally aware of how his wife was maltreating Valerie, but he doesn't really care much about it. Rather he doesn't care much about it.
"I think you should also go over to the room to freshen up too, Alpha." Luna Fae told him,
"OK then,help me up, because right now, I'm in so much pain." Alpha Callan said, and Luna Fae quickly stood up and started helping him up. She also supported him as he started walking over to the room.
Meanwhile Valarie went straight to the kitchen to do as Luna Fae had asked her to do. She was not actually expecting to get entangled with that kind of an Alpha. All her life, Luna Fae had always told her that she was going to be a mate to an Alpha and somehow she felt happy and couldn't wait to finally meet her mate. But now that she had finally seen her mate, she wished for a change. As she cooked breakfast her mind was still troubled. What if his so -called mate returned again that day? What would happen? And what if her mate came and asked to take her away with him to his pack? Would her father really give her up to him? Those questions popped into her head and she wished to know the answer to them. She hoped that her father wouldn't think of giving her up to the cruel Alpha, because she couldn't bear to stay with a wicked person. She already feels so bad that the monster happened to be her mate and him coming back to take her shouldn't just happen because she just can't stand it.
Valerie was finally done cooking after a while. She dished out the food into a big bowl and took it to the dining room. She returned to the kitchen to take up some dishes and cutlery and took them over to the dining room again. She finally set the table and went over to get her parents down for breakfast. After calling them, she proceeded to also get her younger brother now. She waited patiently until they were settled in the dining room, before she started serving them at the dining table and she also sat down to eat.
After breakfast, she cleared out the dishes as the other people returned to their various rooms. She quickly washed the dishes and returned them to where they belong. But as she did all that, her mind kept going towards the direction of her monster mate coming to take her to live with him, but she just tried her best to push the thought away. She just hoped that day would never come.
A WEEK LATER
Alpha Drake was seen in his chamber sitting on the couch. He had been thinking of this mate being the daughter of his parents killer all this while and he had been confused about what more to do. He doesn't know if he should go ahead and kill her alongside her family or kill her family and spare just her. He has been battling with those thoughts for the past few days since he last returned from the Blue valley pack. All those while that he had been thinking of this thing, his wolf never spoke to him, he really needed to come up with a good solution to this because he was tired of always thinking about it.
"I think you should probably get her here, besides your people have been waiting for you to get your Luna." His wolf spoke up.
"What are you saying, she is just too evil to me." He said,
"She is not evil, it's her father that is evil." His wolf replied.
"I don't think that's a good idea." He said,
"I want our mate here as soon as possible, because that's the right thing to do." His wolf told him.
"You can't be serious." Alpha Drake said,
"I am, before we all know that no matter how complicated things are, the moon goddess doesn't make a mistake on who she mated every single werewolf to." His wolf said, and that word really hit him hard.
He was actually so upset that his wolf wanted him to go to Alpha Callan daughter despite what he had done, but again the word that he just said about the moon goddess having a result to make her his mate really got to him. He sighed heavily as he continued thinking about what his wolf had said, but then his wolf didn't speak any other word again. Right now he has to make a decision, but he just can't make a decision based on just what his wolf said, he would have to ask his Beta too about it, he thought and sighed a sigh before standing up. He walked over to the door and flipped it open,as he proceeded out of the room, he continued walking until he saw a guard, he quickly sent him over to call Beta Alex for him, and immediately the guard left. He returned back to his room again.
After a while Beta Alex finally walked into his room, and he asked him to sit which he quickly did. "Alpha you sent for me, hope all is well?" Beta Alex asked.
"Yes, but I actually need your advice on something really serious that was why I sent him to call you here." Alpha Drake said,
"Ok Alpha what is the problem?" Beta Alex asked.
"It's actually about my mate, I'm still a little confused on what to do about her, but my wolf really wants me to get her here, so I want to just hear your opinion first before I decide." He explained.
"Ok, for me I will say you should get your mate and bring her here because that's the right thing to do." Beta Alex advised.
"Ok, but I don't think I can ever love that girl." He said,
"I know, but you really have to just bring her here no matter what." Beta Alex told him.
"It's ok, thanks." He said, and Beta Alex just smiled and stood up, he asked if his attention was still needed for anything else and Alpha Drake told him he could go. He thanked him and left.
But after Beta Alex left Alpha Drake thought about what his wolf and Beta had told him, and he finally came up with a solution and a decision. He was going to spare the life of her family because of her and he was going to go over to the Blue valley pack and take her back with him. Besides, it was high time he had his Luna besides him but he would just have her there with him as his Luna and nothing more. He can't really bring himself to love a daughter of a murderer.
He couldn't really bring himself to kill his family killer because his wolf was totally against it. He actually cursed the moon goddess for giving him a mate like Valerie based on what her father had done to his family. But he would just let it slide because that is what his wolf wanted and he couldn't go against his wolf because it would always trouble him, if he doesn't do what it wants. So he just has to please his wolf.
Soon, Alpha Drake made arrangements with his Beta the next day for them to go and take his mate from the Blue valley pack. His wolf had actually troubled him throughout the previous day and he just couldn't take it anymore, so he had to do it. Alpha Drake and Beta Alex went over to the Blue valley pack. And went straight to Alpha Callan's house . They were actually welcomed in by Luna Fae. She made them sit and asked the maid to serve them what they needed while she went to call Alpha Callan.
Soon they were all seated together in the sitting room. And Alpha Drake told Alpha Callan that he was actually there to take his mate home now. Alpha Callan sighed and asked Luna Fae to go and get Valarie now.
Without taking much time Luna Fae stood up besides her husband, and started walking out of the sitting room. She headed straight to Valarie room, as she smiled inwardly. She had actually hated Valarie before from the very beginning, but she just decided to put up with her since she was going to save her family later on in the future, and now was actually the main time. She was really so happy right now, because she knows that very soon the girl that she hates so much will definitely leave her home for good. She kept smiling until she finally arrived at Valarie's room door. She tried to hide her smile as she stood there and knocked on the room door. Valerie was actually just coming from the bathroom, and she just had a towel tied around her chest when she heard the knock on her room door. "Who's there please?" Valerie asked immediately, with a very polite voice. "It's me Valarie, can I come in?" Luna Fae asked, while she remained standing in the door. "Oh mum, please come in." Val
Beta Alex kept dwelling in his thoughts, as he thought of a good way to make Alpha Drake understand, and agree to leave Valerie with her father and come back again for her."Alex, let's just go inside if you don't have anything else to say to me right now, because I'm tired of standing here." Alpha Drake said,"Oh about that I'm really sorry for being quiet all this while, but please let's just go back home and come back for this girl tomorrow." Beta Alex told him."No, I'm going with her today, and right now." Alpha Drake insisted, and Beta Alex sighed."Why are you being unreasonable here?" Beta Alex asked, as he turned over to Alpha Drake fully."I'm not being unreasonable, but rather I'm doing the right thing." Alpha Drake said,"It not that you really like this girl, but you just want to take her off now, but I want you to ask yourself this question," beta Alex said, and pulsed for a while before he finally continued. "What would she be doing for you if you take her home today?"
Luna Fae slowly walked over to Valarie's room door, and stood there. She could remember how she had been treating Valerie so badly, and thought of how she was going to convince her to go ahead with the plan. She doesn't really know if she would be unhappy that she was in her room right now trying to convince her to go over to her mate pack and do what they were asking of her.Somehow she wasn't really comfortable with the fact that she was going to be talking to Valarie about the plans, but her husband has already insisted, but maybe he didn't really give it a thought before sending her there.She really needs to go back to her room, and talk to her husband again about it, before she thinks of coming back to Valerie's room. She thought, as she quickly turned around, and started walking back to their room.Immediately she walked into the room, her husband who was sitting on the couch turned over to her direction. "Are you done talking to her already?" Alpha Callan asked."No I'm not."
VALARIE'S POVI was still dwelling in my thoughts, when a knock brought me to reality. "Who's there?" I asked, but just then my room door cracked open, and Eric walked in."It's me," I heard Eric's small voice, and I smiled immediately, as he quickly rushed over to me.I made him sit beside me almost immediately, and quickly turned over to him. "I heard the maids saying you have an evil mate, is that true?" He asked, and I gasped immediately."No, that's not true, okay, they are just saying nonsense, and I'm going to report them to my father." I told him, hoping it would convince him."Are you sure about that, because I don't want you to be married to evil mate, please don't marry him if he isn't a good person." He tried to persuade me not to be married to my mate.Well I really don't want to be married to that mate of mine, but I actually have a plan which my parents had prepared already, so that's the reason I was going to go ahead and go with my so-called mate."You don't have to
I sighed softly as I grabbed the doorknob and opened the door, as I walked in. I made my way to my bed, as I had my seat, and glanced around the bedroom, like I just arrived here now.There is nothing to do here, so I'm really so bored right now, and I wish I could find something to do. I stood up immediately, as I started paving around my bedroom, looking for something to do.I'm really not used to staying an idol without doing anything. Back at my house, Luna Fae made sure I had so much work to do. Honestly I thought she was really punishing me, but I guess that was really training she was giving to me.I think I should probably go out of this bedroom, to look for something to do, instead of remaining here. I thought as I finally made my way out of my room.Stepping out of the room now, I stood still at the entrance of my room realising I really didn't know my way here.I just got here a few hours ago, and there is no way I would know my way to the kitchen. "The dining room should
I woke up early, determined to start my day by making breakfast. I made my way to the kitchen, where I found Matina, the head cook, already at work. Matina was a tall, sturdy woman with warm eyes but a stern demeanor, known for her meticulous attention to detail.“Good morning, Matina,” I greeted with a small smile.“Good morning,” she replied, looking up from the dough she was kneading.“I was thinking,” I began, “I would like to make breakfast this morning.”Matina’s eyes widened in surprise. “Alpha Drake doesn’t like any mistakes in his meals. He’s very particular.”“I understand,” I said, stepping closer. “But I have always cooked back at my parents’ place. I promise I can do this.”Matina hesitated, her brow furrowing. “it is not about your skills, . it is just… if anything goes wrong…”“Nothing will go wrong,” I assured her. “Trust me. I know how important it is to get it right.”Matina sighed, clearly torn between her duty and my request. “Alright,” she said finally, “but I’ll
A month passed with me hunting for information within the palace and occasionally helping in the kitchen. Matini and I Became good friends, and I would spend hours in the kitchen learning to cook new meals or teaching her delicacies from my home pack.I have also started to see a different side of Alpha Drake. At first, he seemed cold and unapproachable, but as I spent more time in the palace, helping in the kitchen and observing him from a distance, I began to understand why he was the way he was.“What were you expecting? You think he would just let you fall and die on the stairs?” Matini was speaking. It had been a month since I came to Drake’s pack. Matina had made it her mission to tell me all about Alpha Drake’s good side. Today was no different. After I recounted how Alpha Drake saved me from almost killing myself the day I first came to the kitchen, she wouldn’t stop teasing me.“I mean, I do not think he really likes you, but I do not think he wants you dead,” Matina said w
I realized with horror that he was profoundly drunk. “Alpha Drake?” I called out carefully. “You are in the wrong room.”“That’s what makes me a terrible person. I mean, what kind of man mates with the daughter of the man who killed his parents? I had only one job,” Drake held up one finger and stared at it. “Only one single job, but I failed.”“Drake, you’re in the wrong room,” I tried again.Drake’s eyes snapped to mine. “You’re the girl, the daughter of my enemies.”I cursed under my breath and made my way to him. “Come on, I’ll take you to your room.” I tried to guide him back out the door to his room, but he didn’t move. He didn’t even budge. “Drake, please, let me take you to your room.”“This is my house, and I’ll stay wherever I want,” he slurred and pulled his arms free from mine. He staggered forward again and almost lost his footing.“I’m fine,” he mumbled to no one in particular.“Well then, since this is your house, I’ll let you sleep here tonight.” I turned to walk out t
I decide to dress in a loose dress that covers my showing baby bump and a scarf Rosie made for me. I throw the scarf around my neck and face to hide my growing chubby cheeks.I have borrowed one of Drake's cars—it’s not stealing since Drake is my mate—and drive myself to my parents' pack. I decide to park outside the house and walk into the gate on foot. The gate man isn’t at his post, which only adds to my advantage. I don’t want my parents notified of my coming; I want it to be a pleasant surprise before it turns to the inevitable disappointment. I walk the rest of the way to my parents' house.The house hasn’t changed. It looks just the same, everything in the exact same way I left it. I stop at the sound of voices coming from my father’s second office, detached from the house and standing on its own between the boys' quarters and the main house. I identify the voice speaking as my father’s. My father doesn’t use this office except when he wants to discuss something of great import
My heart skipped a beat when Drake knocked and entered my room later that night.I tried to pretend I was asleep. I tried to act like I didn’t know when he came back home. I tried to act like I didn’t stare from my window when he entered through the gate.I waited patiently while he bathed, ate, and changed.“Are you awake?” he asked, lingering at the door.I didn’t respond. I kept my eyes closed and willed my body not to give any indication that I wasn’t deeply at rest.“Okay,” I heard him mumble before closing the door. My stomach sank. I shouldn’t have pretended to be asleep. Now he was gone—oh.I felt a hand on my stomach and the rustling of the sheets as he sat by the edge. Relief, sweet strong relief washed over me. Maybe my plan would work.“Mummy’s asleep, isn’t she?”Is he... is he talking to my stomach? Okay.“I bet she’s tired. Don’t be too hard on her, okay? I know she’s stubborn and all, but let’s take it easy on her, okay?”I tried. Heaven knows I tried to suppress the l
Only the moon goddess knew how Drake got a turkey under an hour.“Microwave,” he said.He mentioned that he and Rosie had been working on putting a variety of food in the kitchen that I might crave, to avoid what happened that night when I made him bake cookies at 1 AM. He didn’t want to wake Rosie, so he did it himself, grumbling all the way through while I peppered him with questions.“What’s your favourite colour?”“When was your first kiss?”“What’s your favourite food?”I didn’t think he would answer, but he grumbled all the answers to me while making me the best cookies I’d ever had. Only after one piece, I didn’t want them anymore. It took a ton of self-control for Drake not to strangle me to death that night.Today, after getting me the turkey, he made sure I was full to the brim. I could literally feel the food lingering in my throat, having no space to move down. I was sure that should be unhealthy or something, but it didn’t last long. I was hungry again before I knew it.D
I thought something was wrong with Drake. After we both learned I was pregnant, he changed. I wasn’t sure if I should like it or be scared. I thought he might be suffering from mood swings.First, he stayed away from me, giving the impression that he hated me. Then, he saved me from falling and dying, even when I thought he wanted me dead. He came into my room and made me scream his name, then told me to stay the hell away from him. And now, he was calling me darling and bringing me breakfast in bed, taking my every whim seriously. I wasn’t sure how to react to that.“I wasn’t sure what your pregnant tummy would want to eat today, so I had Rosie make you a variety of things,” he said.I tried not to look too surprised when Drake brought me breakfast for the 24th time in a row. I had barely woken up. The morning sickness and lack of appetite had reduced a lot. Now all I ever wanted to do was eat, though I sometimes didn’t know what to eat and craved different things at different hours.
Valerie POVThroughout the day, I was far from being myself. Aside from the reality of now being hated by my mate for the deeds of my father, I still didn't feel all good in my body. I've tried to ignore it. Well, I guess his rejection was just what I needed to go and rest. As I approached the steps leading to the garden's exit, my vision got blurry, my steps haggard, I knew there was not much time left before I passed. “I don't feel too good, Drake…” my voice was barely above a whisper. “Just a few more steps…” I told myself… I was wrong. The last thing I remembered before total darkness was seeing Alpha Drake's eyes, as he held me from hitting my head. Opening my eyes, my blurred vision cleared to my immediate environment, I knew I wasn't in the garden and, I'm pretty sure I didn't walk to this place. The next my brain registered was the beep sound coming from the machine standing next to me… I was in the pack infirmary.I sat up, with the little energy I could muster. The pac
I spent the day in my room crying, binge-watching Gilmore Girls, and eating ice cream. I couldn't believe Drake scolded me and then told me to stay away from him after giving me the best orgasm ever. Rosie came to check on me, and I asked her to leave after requesting more ice cream.It took me a week to stop mourning. Drake did well to avoid me, always out working or locked in his study. He even went as far as telling Rosie to bring his food upstairs to his room just to avoid me. I filled my days with reading, binge-watching TV shows, and helping Rosie in the kitchen.“Oh dear child, I thought you said you’re fine?” Rosie asked, looking at me with worry.“I am,” I said. I hadn't told her what happene
