Mate?

Brak

I was instantly holding my choked breath now. Both of my palms had even sealed my lips tightly, so as not to make the slightest sound now. The sweat that soaked my entire body, and the tears that ran down my face, felt even more suffocating to my uncertain feelings right now. I prayed that they wouldn't find me and The Crescent Moon Pack's heirloom. I have to keep that heirloom at all costs. And putting the heirloom inside the secret wall is the right way right now. If I were to keep the box containing The Crescent Moon Pack's heirloom with me, then my safety as well as the heirloom's safety would be in danger.

"Are you sure that the girl and the heirloom are in this room?" The voice of a man with a very hoarse tone of voice was immediately heard.

"I'm sure that the girl brought the heirloom here. But where?"

Another man's voice answered over there. I felt even colder and my body trembled with fear. Every step of their two feet that could be heard walking further into the basement, made me hold my breath. I bent my legs even closer to the front of my body, cowering in fear inside this old crate.

Damn.

I was starting to think that those werewolves currently inside the basement must be pretty reliable werewolves. But all those thoughts were replaced with the fear and worry I felt about the condition of my father, mother, and all the members of my pack. If these werewolves were able to enter the basement, then what is the condition of all the werewolves from The Crescent Moon Pack now?

Krak

Brak

Tak

I instantly closed both of my eyelids very tightly as I listened to the sounds of things being slammed, thrown, and also dropped around the crate right now. My entire body was trembling with all the possibilities that would happen. And somehow I could feel a strong rush of air around my body right now. That instantly made me start to slowly open my closed eyelids, and look in front of me.

"Here you are hiding sweet girl!!!" The man quickly pulled my arm out of the crate.

"Let go!!! Let go of me!!! Damn it!!! Don't you dare touch me!!!"

I rebelled very hard in order to break the man's grip on my arm. Moreover, when I managed to get out of the crate I had been hiding in, the other man who had been silent was also holding the other side of my arm. That made it even more difficult for me to rebel and extricate myself from their grasp now.

"Shut up! Otherwise we'll silence that sharp mouth of yours with our weapons. Do you understand?"

Hearing that from one of the men holding me instantly made me realize that at their sides were various sharp weapons that were full of blood. I even only knew a few of the names of those sharp weapons. Swords and axes. That was all I knew.

I decided to stay silent and keep trying to be able to stomp both hands, both feet, and even almost my own entire body to rebel and break free from the clutches of these two werewolves right now. But it seemed like the strength the two of them and I had simply didn't compare anymore.

Because in the end, the two of them managed to bring me out from inside the basement to the hall of The Crescent Moon Pack with my shuffling footsteps, and hurriedly followed the steps of these two strapping and large men. But every footstep I took due to the coercion of these two men, made me realize even more how horrible the condition of The Crescent Moon Pack was right now. I saw many bodies of werewolves, members of The Crescent Moon Pack lying on the floor dead and covered in blood. Some of their bodies even disappeared and were no longer intact, all of which also looked extremely gruesome to me.

"No... no... why?! Why are you doing this to them?!"

I screamed at the top of my lungs. I summoned all my strength to scream and struggled even more to break free from their grip. But, I didn't get a single answer. Only annoyed growls from them. Until not long after I returned to the hall area, the two men simultaneously released their grip from my body, and pushed me hard and roughly forward, causing me to fall straight onto the blood-soaked hall floor. I looked in horror at the pool of blood beneath my body right now.

The thick, fishy odor almost made me feel nauseous. Both my palms, as well as the dress I was wearing, were full of blood. My eyes welled up with tears again, as I instantly felt heat all over my body. I felt very angry.

"Alpha, this is the girl you are looking for. The only daughter of The Crescent Moon Pack. She's hiding in the basement like a baby." One of the men who took me by force from the basement to the hall quickly spoke.

But I don't want to focus on what he's saying. Even more so with the unfamiliar scent that was starting to enter my nostrils now. Not the fishy scent of blood, but something much stronger, like a blend of coffee and vanilla. I ventured to lift my head and looked at the pair of shoes with blood stains. 'Mate....' My inner wolf whispered in my mind.

"Arrrggghhh!!!" Before I could really give another reaction, I felt a tight tug on my hair. It instantly made me scream and stand up from the position I was lying in when I was pushed to the ground earlier. I tried to pull back my hair that was being pulled by the person in front of me.

"Let go!!! Let go of me, damn it!!!" I shouted loudly as I stood right in front of that person. A man with his entire face covered in blood.

"Oh, so this girl is my mate?"

the man whispered with a tone of voice that sounded like mocking. I could see a lopsided smile on the corner of his lips now. Even with just that small, lopsided smile, I could feel the horror in my entire body now. How could that man smile after doing all those horrible things?

"Why? Why did you do all this? Why did you kill all the members of my pack? What was the reason?!"

I asked when the man had removed his hand from my hair, and I felt some of my hair being pulled out by the man's pull earlier. I looked at the face of the man my wolf soul had called 'mate' in my mind earlier. This really isn't my mate. I never prayed to the Moon Goddess to get a mate who is so evil like him.

"You mean by killing all the members of your pack?" The man asked with a tilt of his head. "Honey, I didn't just kill them. I also killed your parents."

"Wh-what? What are you saying?! What did you do to my parents!!! Where are my parents!! Mom!!! Dad!!!" I shouted in a very panicked sounding voice as I took a few steps back now. I looked in disbelief and fear right at the man, my mate.

Bruk

"MOM!!! DAD!!!"

I screamed and ran over to their bodies lying on the floor with a lot of blood coming out of them there. I fell to my knees as I realized mom and dad's faces were already looking very broken. They were already dead. They didn't keep their promise to come back to see me. They were gone and would never come back. My hands were shaking so much that I tried to reach out to them, but I didn't have the strength to do so. I was sobbing, and my whole body was becoming increasingly stiff. My head bowed deeply, and I could feel my wolf soul crying along with me. We were both orphans now. No parents, no family, and no pack.

"Why? Why are you doing all this?" I muttered and immediately stood up to look at the man behind me.

"Don't yell. Or you'll find out what I can do to you, silly little mate."

The man muttered as he walked closer right towards me now. And I unconsciously clenched my palms together, and gave him a pretty good punch right in the face right there. That made the man back his body and immediately rubbed his face where I hit him.

"You! How dare you hit the Alpha of The Silver Moon Pack!" I didn't react at all to the words of the two men behind us. I just kept looking at the man, my mate who was starting to look right back at me.

"You're my mate... but why? Why are you doing this to me? To my parents, my family and the rest of my pack. What's the reason? We never even met before, so why did you come and ruin my life? What did I do wrong to you? You ruined my life!!!"

"It's because I want you and this entire pack to vanish! I don't even care if I have to kill everyone in this pack one by one with my own hands. As long as, you and all of them die and vanish without a trace now. And yes, I don't even want a mate like you. I already have another woman that I love very much. Then why have a mate who comes from a low pack and is also weak like you. Therefore, die, and give this heirloom of your pack to me now."
