Chapter 49

Chapter 49


Mel.

Why.

Why does it keep happening?

First, it was Jake, then mum, and now Lily too.

What she did was wrong but she didn't deserve to die. I was so mad at her but I could never wish death for Lily.

She has been my friend for years.

Oh! Liam.

I wonder what he must be going through right now. She was his twin and there was no single moment they were apart.

And what about her mate? Did he survive?

It's all my fault. Everyone around me is dying and it's all my fault.

To make the matters worse, it's my dad who killed her and I can't even be mad at him.

Hell, I almost killed everyone because Aiden was hurt, I understand how dad felt when he found out what she did.

This life is really fucked up.

And mum? She was fine.

Who did that to her, and the message only proves someone did that to hurt me.

But who? I remember killing everyone who was with the king, apart from the wolves who later submitted.

I can't cope with these losses.

Everyone in my life is just leaving and it hurts.

She raised me. I spent 18 years knowing she was my mom, and even though our relationship wasn't the best, I loved her.

My wolf has been running to an unknown direction until she comes across a river. She screeches to a halt releasing a loud painful howl, that matches the turmoil in my heart.

She lies down along the stream and the serene forest soothes us.

I just hope this is really over, but the note from earlier says otherwise.

The air here is calm and it's a good place to think. I had planned the moment I escape from the King, I will go away from this place.

But now I don't know.

It will be unfair to my dad. He has lost everyone and he has just Taylor and me now.

I can't leave Aiden too. Someone needs to watch over for him and I won't live with myself if he got hurt. He's my responsibility.

I can't request him to leave his pack and follow me. He's the alpha and I have to consider his feelings too. He has a job to do and the least I can do is support him.

Also, my wolf will want to stay with her kind. Moving to the city will force me to lock her up again. I can't shift in the human world, or what if she loses control and cause harm.

It won't be right at all.

So I guess am stuck here.

I have to learn what a Luna does and help my mate run the pack. The howls from his pack members comfort my heart. Even though they can't change anything.

It gives me a warm feeling that they accept me.

I have to check on Liam and later seek Athena. I need to know what's next. I need to go back to school and probably start working again.

My mate's presence is near but he's keeping his distance. I like how he always considers my feelings.

Who wouldn't love a man like that, someone who knows what you want even without having to ask?

He knows I wanna be alone right now and he's giving me just that. I can never ask for more In this life. I just pray he won't be taken from me like everyone else.

I look up when I sense her presence next to me, and wonder how it feels like to travel in the air unseen.

Today she's in her wolf form. A very white pure and beautiful wolf.

She looks like an angel. Her fur is so long and flaccid, and her eyes are so blue that I envy them.

'You amaze me every day' I mind link her and she lies down next to me. She stretches her front legs forward and lays her head on them.

'I know' she replies proudly and I wanna roll my eyes but remember that I can't.

'You didn't tell me I will lose my mother and Lily, Athena' my mood sours when I remember she knows everything, but still withholds important information from me.

'That was their fate Mel, and am here to guide you, not reveal the future to you unless am ordered to' Fuck fate, how cruel is this goddess?

'Don't I deserve to be prepared? It hurts you know' I tell her sadly.

'I know, am sorry Mel'

'So what's next? Can I go back to school, or to work?'

'You can, remember when I told you about you and Aiden having a son?' She asks and my head snaps to her.

Fuck, I forgot. We had sex yesterday and we marked each other. Does that mean am finally getting pregnant?

Goodness no, am not ready yet.

I don't know the first thing about being a mother, and I don't want to bring the that innocent soul into this awful world just yet.

'Relax Mel' she chuckles and I wonder which part of my thoughts is funny.

'The goddess has everything in control, and that son will be born whether you like it or not. That's why I forced that heat on you yesterday' This bitch touched my head and I started feeling horny.

This is an abuse of power.

'Can you please tell the goddess that I will inform her when am ready?' I can't imagine myself with a big belly right now.

When she said I will get pregnant, I thought it would be when I am 25 and above or something. Not at eighteen.

People will laugh at me at school.

'You are here for a reason, and until it's fulfilled, you have no say in this' I have no say? I think I officially hate these wolves.

'And it's too late for you sweetheart, it has already happened' she chuckles and I growl loudly.

I think God is fair compared to this moon goddess, how can you give a teenager that kind of responsibility, and still take the people who matter from her?

'Your thoughts are always crazy' she snickers and I feel like biting her head off.

I wish I could just kill her. Who even needs a helper?

When I need her she's nowhere to be seen and when I don't, she's here with her boring tales of some fucked up prophesy.

How will I know if she's not the real enemy here?

'His name is Authur, and he'll complete what you couldn't ' her serious tone cuts short my thoughts.

'What do you mean what I couldn't?' As far as I am concerned, I did everything they asked me to.

'Let's just say, you get so distracted Melanie' and with that, she disappears leaving me to my mixed thoughts.

I don't understand anything she just said.
