Chapter four

Dante's POV

I watched how her eyes dimmed and then turned watery. What was this?

"You guys can take her now," I said coldly as I leaned back on the chair. She quickly held my leg like she never wanted to let go of me.

Of course, I shoved her hands away before she could do anything.

"Take her away," I said to the men who just entered the room. They nodded, picked and then turned to leave.

"Put her in a place different from where those slaves are," I said calmly, still sipping my drink.

They nodded and then left, while she kept on banging their chest to let her go. I tried with all my might not to look at those teary eyes.

"Oh? You have gotten another one?" I heard Danciana's voice coming from the door and I didn't bother looking at her.

"Yes," I replied, coldly.

"I see. But mmm… well," She started sluggishly and I knew she was here for something.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"Oh? Nothing, nothing, much. I wanted to know if it was good of me to do some experiments? I have done a few researches and I am in need of just the last thing to complete it," She said, smiling.

Danciana was my Pack's doctor and she was responsible for all the treatments and healings. I stared at her for a moment, thinking of the right person for her to check this one.

There was no one in the pack that's Ill. Unless, I turned to her then stared at the door.

"I'll inform you when I've seen anyone," I stated, calmly. She nodded as a bright smile crossed her face.

"I was expecting that. Thank you so much Alpha Dante," She smiled, bowing from where she stood at the door then left. I stared at the closed door with a dull gaze, turned to the glass of wine before me as I sip it slowly.

No one can ever get close to me, because of my Alpha's aura. But the lady can without any restriction. I wonder why such is happening?

I didn't think much about it. After drinking the wine, I got up and left the room quietly.

Soon I was in the cold and quiet corridor as I made my way to my chamber. Before that, I stopped and stared at the dead end of the corridor, a thought crossed my mind and I walked towards it without hesitation.

And that was when I saw the masked men standing guard at a particular room.

I walked up to them, quietly, then said:"You may leave," 

They nodded quickly and hurriedly left the place but they didn't dare pass by me but could only follow the other side.

I was indifferent when I saw this. I turned to the door, knocked on it slightly and then kept quiet.

I could feel that mate pull again and her rich scent that smells like roses. I leaned into the door as I couldn't get enough of her even though I knew it would be very impossible for me to have a weak mate.

Mostly when she's a mute.

"Mm?" I heard her calls out excitedly, she must have felt the mate pull again. I slowly opened the door and there she was on the floor. I stared at her for a moment and that was when I noticed the tears in her eyes.

I was moved to touch her but… there was this part of me that stopped that thought.

"How will it feel when you are given the entitlement to be my Luna?" I asked her calmly and she stared at me with some expression I couldn't understand.

But deep down I knew she was saying that it would be good.

"What if you were rejected by my people because you are mute?" I asked her calmly, and I watched her eyes dim. 

I stared at her coldly, and watched how sad she looked. Maybe I should tell her about it?

"What if you were given a chance to prove it to me? That you are worthy to be my Luna?" I asked her and she turned to me, her eyes widened like a saucer.

She grabbed my hands like she was trying to say something. I could feel the wave of emotions in her eyes and how frantically she nodded.

I held her hand softly then removed it off me.

"Do not get excited so easily. You have less than a month to prove to me that you can rule my people with me," I said to her and she looked down at her dress.

I straightened my posture as my gaze never left her.

"I'll take this as you willing for this," I stated calmly and then walked to the door.

I didn't bother turning back to see her pitiful face. I turned the knob and walked out of the room.

"You can return," I said to no one in particular but I knew they were there. 

Almost immediately, the sounds of footsteps approaching could be heard and I saw the masked men. They walked up to me vigilantly,like they were scared of something.

"Watch over her and make sure nothing happens," I ordered then left the place.

" Understood, sir," They replied.

Soon I was in my study room going through some files and that was when my beta walked in looking troubled.

"What Is it?" I asked, calmly.

"I heard that you took the girl in," He said, somewhat angry.

I stopped with what I was doing, then faced him and saw how cold his expression was.

"Then, can you explain to me who told you this?" I asked calmly.

" That's not the reason why I came here. I really want to know why you took in a mute and a stealer," He waved his hand angrily.

" That is not your position to ask, Lucas," I stated with finality and he stood there shocked.
