Chapter 3

CHAPTER 3

I've been walking back and forth in James' room ever since Hugo flew off and went somewhere, that I don’t know where it was about. That feeling of restlessness kept haunting at me until about right now. Moreover, I have absolutely no idea if Alpha Xavier has already found the code that I sent to him through Hugo back then. Or about whether Hugo had already found out where Alpha Xavier was and gave him my message about. All of the possibilities that could be happen about right now was really scared me.

“Oh my… what if Alpha Xavier doesn't even get the message that I sent to him? What if I’ve already really late to do all of that? Then how can I protect this whole Blood Moon Pack if I'm locked in James' room like this right now?"

I muttered, and at this moment it almost felt like death was surrounding at me in this room. And it feels very tight when every negative thought that already starts to fill my mind since earlier just right now about.

“Hey baby, see what I’ve already brought to you right now? Pasta with bacon bits on top with the sauce spicy. As you like all along by the way.”

That's James. He came with a tray containing a plate and a glass of water on top of it. I suddenly stopped walking around the room and fell silent with a stiff feeling inside of my heart. How can I deal with someone like James about right now? James walked over to me with a small smile on his face. Somehow I started to feel afraid of that smile. It was as if there was an unexplainable horror about on there now. He doesn’t look like James that I was in love three years ago. He is just someone else.

“Let's eat together then yeah… I'm sure that you will like the taste of the pasta. I give the omegas my secret recipe of it. My special recipe that you always love about.” James muttered once again on there. James moved and sat on his bed, and placed the tray of food on there.

And I'm still standing with a stiff feeling in my whole body about right now. My heart was beating so hard that it hurt so much on there. Every now and then I glanced at the window, and really hoped that Hugo wouldn't even come back while James was still in the room. Otherwise, Hugo would be the target of the plan that James had in his mind about right now.

"Come on, and sit beside me on here, honey."

James took my left palm, and sat me down on the bed, directly on beside of him. James started to lift the plate of pasta and bacon that looked still warm on there. Then start preparing to feed me right now. Even the smell and warmth I could feel, but I didn't feel the slightest bit of hungry about right now. And when the fork is right in front of me, I feel like, I really want to throwing up right now.

"Why are you stay silent? Don't you want to eat this? It’s my special recipe..." James asked, and I nearly choked on the oxygen around me.

“No… it's just, I still don't feel very hungry right now.” I tried to lie to him. But it just feels so bitter about right now. I don't even understand why I feel this empty and scared about right now.

James sighed in slowly. And I could see that he was holding back his emotions. "Just a little bit, Sophia. Eat a little bit and then go to sleep. Okay?" James insisted.

And I have to follow this game at all. At least, until I find out how Alpha Xavier is right now. I opened my mouth and forced myself to chew the food that was in front of me right now. Even so it was very difficult to be able to chew it, because of the nausea in my stomach. But I'm trying. I really am.

"James!"

James and I simultaneously looked straight at the bedroom door that suddenly opened there. Showing Cole, one of James' friends who is now standing there with a smile on his face. "What's the matter, Cole?" James asked and put the plate in his hand right back on the tray. James then stood up and approached Cole who was still silent at the door of the room now.

“I received the news from the warriors. Alpha Xavier is already in the hands of the enemies. Those rogues actually trapped Alpha Xavier by tricking him in their pack. He will not survive from there.” Cole answered and explained.

And I suddenly felt tense. I can even feel how hard it is for me to breathe right now. I stood up and looked on in disbelief at both of them. That means I'm really too late to be able to help Alpha Xavier. And Hugo? I don't even know how the bird is about right now. I have failed. I am really failed. For the first time I failed to be able to help Alpha Xavier in protecting him and also protecting the Blood Moon Pack just like right now. And I feel so hopeless.

“That is a very good thing! On this way, I can have this Blood Moon Pack very easily. Gosh, I didn't think this would be so hard for me. But with Xavier trapped with the rogues, it's easier for me to hold all parts of this pack in my hands now."

I looked at the back of James who seemed to be chuckling there. I really lost hope. I need to know if it's true that Alpha Xavier is in a trap with the rogues. I need to know how things are now. But what should I do now?

“You heard all of that, Sophia?!” James suddenly turned around and looked at me with satisfaction on that face now.

I felt my mind going blank. And I'm getting desperate now. “Xavier won't be able to get away with the rogues easily. He will not return to this Blood Moon Pack. I'll be the next Alpha of this pack. It just so easy to do." James approached me and hugged me tightly.

James lifted me quite high in the air. And I'm getting more and more out of my mind. I lost my focus, and oxygen. I feel like I'm about to pass out with everything that I am now know right before my eyes. Even James' laughter and smiling face right now really makes me feel so sick and my anxiety increases. Alpha Xavier is not coming back. But I really hope a miracle will happens in the last. And that is the return of Alpha Xavier to this Blood Moon Pack safely.

“James, I thought… I could go back to my room again right now. You don't have to lock me in your room anymore."

I looked at James who had just come out of the bathroom. It was getting late, and I had even forgotten how long I had been in James's room right now. James walked only in trousers without wearing a shirt on there. I fell silent. Now the whole part of the Blood Moon Pack feels both scary and foreign to me. For some reason it feels as if there is no life in here anymore. Along with the disappearance of Alpha Xavier on this pack. Hugo who hadn't even returned from his departure after he was looking for Alpha Xavier. Which in an instant made me feel that Hugo might as well be dead by now.

“I already said that you wouldn't come out of my room in the slightest, Sophia. From now on, you will sleep in here. In my room. No more your private room and so on.”

James answered as he walked over to me directly. Subconsciously, I stepped back slightly and away from James. “I want to do my job as a new beta well, James. Isn't that also your goal about? And I can't be of any help to you if I continue to be cooped up in a room like this, James." I tried to persuade, though not at all convinced of the outcome.

James grabbed my shoulders directly. "No, Sophia. Now your task is much easier to do about. You just need to accompany me, and I will snatch and become the Alpha of this Blood Moon Pack much more easily than before. Everything will be in my hands. And you just have to sit and see all of the things happened about. Because after my inauguration as Alpha, I will immediately inaugurate you as Luna. My Luna..."

I'm not lulled in the slightest. Everything that James said right now was felt like a lie to me. I realized that I would never be a Luna in any Pack. I am just an omega who becomae beta of the pack. And that’s all. The Luna things, is not gonna be happened in my life. And I swore I would never betray Alpha Xavier and the Blood Moon Pack in any way. It will never gonna be happen. I looked away when I started to feel James who was starting to rub of my shoulders which was in his grip on there right now.

"What are you doing, James?" I whispered. And started to feel scared immediately.

"What do you think am I doing, Sophia?" James looked at me with a lopsided smile on his face right now. It instantly made me try to escape from him. Especially James who started to bring of his face more closer to my shoulder. I raised of my palms and tried to stop James from moving on there right now.

"Stop it James."

“Let's do it, Sophia. Haven't we been in a relationship for three years now? Plus, you're very jealous of me and Ava for having sex too. Let's do it so I don't do that again with Ava."

My breath hitched when I heard James speak like that. "We must be mates, Sophia. We must be mate... And you are destined to help me to take over the Blood Moon Pack from Xavier, Sophia." James continued.

And I felt my legs shaking with fear feelings. I don't want to have sex with James. And never will let that things happen to me. After all of his betrayal to me by having sex with Ava, and his betrayal of Alpha Xavier and the Blood Moon Pack. I don't want things to go easy for James right now.

"I don't want to. Didn't I tell you before that I wasn't ready to having sex yet." I tried to keep stopping James with the strength that I had about right now.

But James didn't even listen to me at all, and started to kissing on my shoulder. It immediately made me feel panicked. With the strength that my Wolf exerted from within me, I managed to push James' body and also kicked him so hard on the leg. This immediately made James growl with anger feels at me. But I don't want to think too much anymore. Now or not. That's all that I have in my mind right now. Quickly, I approached the window and opened it wide.

“Sophia, don't you dare!!” James shouted and try to stopped me.

But I didn't care about it at all. I jumped out of his bedroom window. I didn't care how high James' room was to the ground. All I know is that I have to run away from him. From the Blood Moon Pack.

“CAPTURE SOPHIA REES!!! SHE IS A TRAINER!!! SHE IS THE TRAITOR!!! SHE WAS TRACKED ALPHA XAVIER WITH THE ROGUES!!!”

It was James' voice. He labeled me as a traitor.

I could hear the warriors moving quickly to catch up at me right now. I'm really scared. But the footsteps of my two feet do not want to stop at moving right now. Not now. I should be able to get away from the Blood Moon Pack right now. Especially away from James as well as the warriors who are currently chasing me on there. It's midnight and I'm trying to sharpen my senses so I can find a proper hiding place about right now.

I don't know where my footsteps are taking me right now. As far as I know, the warriors as well as James are still chasing me in the middle of the night. In the heart of the jungle. I'm feeling so exhausted. Entered the forest, and I began to feel so much hopeless in my whole body. I can't really find a place to hide properly right now. What's more, I started to feel something strange that happened inside of me.

'We have to find a hiding place right now. And I don't even know where it is.'

My Wolf instantly thoughtlinked. She sounded worried at me. Both of us feels so scrared. And that makes me even more anxious about right now.

“I don't know where we should hide right now. Those warriors and James would definitely be able to smell my scent so much clearly now. We're not that far from them yet. We just entered the forest... Moon Goddes, please..." I feel more hopeless about right now.

'There. Right over there. We can hide there.'

I looked right at the end of the place my Wolf was aiming for. There are some large of rocks and also covered by shady and thick trees on there. I sighed wearily, and again jogged to get more closer to that direction. Then I started to hide right behind the big rocks, and leaned back. I felt the pain all over my body. Why do I feel this way right now? I don’t even have to feel that way before.

“Shit… it all hurts. My whole body is hurt. What happened to me?” I muttered in pain.

'Don't you remember what it was today, Sophia? It’s already the day.' My Wolf spoke again.

“What day?” I was exhausted and for several times closed my eyelids, trying to remember it at all. But the fact that made me flinch about right now. Today is my birthday. I'm finally an adult. An female werewolf adults. "Not. Not. This is my birthday. I'm an adult right now. That means… all of this pain and weirdness that I feel n my whole body is heat? I am on heat right now?” I muttered in disbelief for a moment.

I feel into the heat. The things that shouldn't be happening right now. Not when James and the warriors is still trying to chasing me about. I could be in even worse danger right now. My scent would be make them more easy to find me in here right now. And I tried to focus of myself, not to let my scent spread too much in the air. In the dark, I started smelled the scent of my Mate.

"Is this James' scent?"

My body immediately trembled with the fear and recalled James' words back then. 'We must be mates. And you are destined to help me take over the Blood Moon Pack from Xavier, Sophia'.

What if it really was James?

What if James really is my mate?

I don't want to be a traitor's mate.
