Chapter 62

I only saw red and I don’t know why I was like that. I never thought that I had this side of me, and as I was ready to bite him, Carter appeared and stopped me, holding me by my arms and shoulder. “Luna,” he said. I looked at him and I saw the shock on his face as two of the warriors took my stepfather away from me. I don’t think that it will help if I really go and kill him though.

“I’m sorry,” I said as I put down my hand and turned around. I shook my head because I still couldn’t believe that I was able to do that.

“I think we need to hurry back to the pack.” our gamma said as he followed me and I nodded. We got in the car and I didn’t want to worry Aziz about it, but I’m sure that Carter would never agree if I asked him to keep the incident from his alpha.

“You know that I can’t keep it from Alpha, right?” he asked, just as I thought.

“Aziz will worry about me,”

“But he will know what to do and might have some explanation for that,” he replied, and I nodded. But I started to think that it was because of the venom that my mate transferred to me. I don’t think of any possible reason besides that. Aziz marking me will not make me feel this way. I was very angry and I suddenly felt like drinking blood. That was so vampy.

“I know that you have a point and I believe what you said later. But how did you manage to stop me? You are so fast.”

“I could feel your anger and aura, it was different. I know that the warriors felt it too, that’s why they were ready to move the man away.”

“Thank you for not letting me do what I desired,” I said in a low voice with my head down.

“Luna, it’s my job to protect you. Not letting you do that was my way of protecting you as well.”

“That’s why I am thankful. I might hate myself if I bit him. No matter what, I am still human and I know what killed my parents.”

We arrived at the pack and Carter must have informed Aziz through the mind link because he was waiting by the pack house entrance, worriedly. “Are you alright, woman?” he asked and I nodded.

“Yeah, nothing to worry about,” I replied, smiling. He hugged me so tight that I sighed heavily. I suddenly felt scared when I thought about becoming the species I hate. It’s not that I hate them in general, my mate and his sibling have vampire blood in them. I was just scared that something like earlier might happen again and no one would be able to stop me. I didn’t want any human to hate me because I killed someone dear to them. I knew the feeling and I didn’t want them to suffer the same I did.

We went straight to his office and found Hera and Lexis. “How are you?” the two asked and gave them the reply I gave to my mate.

“Fighting the urge for blood was extremely difficult. Please don’t get mad at Aziz.” Hera said,

“I am not. He had already explained it to me.” I replied, “I was just thankful that Carter was there to stop me.”

“I’m so sorry, woman, if you have to get through this because of what I did,” Aziz said, apologetically.

“It’s fine. You don’t have to feel sorry.” I said and kissed him so he would know that I was really fine. “But something triggered me for that to happen,” I informed them and I started to tell them about what my stepfather said to me. I opened up to them about everything that that evil person did to me. “I was so mad knowing how worried my mom would have been. How hurt she was when she found out that her new husband had other plans for him. That the devil had been eyeing me but she still wanted to protect me. I had no idea what she had just been through with that man when she fetched me from my classmate's house. We were laughing and I was telling her about my nonsense, and yet.”

“I will make sure to make that bastard pay for what he did. I am not going to let your mother’s love for you be in vain because

I know that protecting you from him is what she was thinking.” Aziz said, and I felt thankful. I just hope that Mom will be at peace wherever she is.

“I’m so sorry to hear that,” Lexis said, as I felt my mate hug me. He was angry and I could feel his body stiffen.

“You don’t have to. It wasn't your doing. If there was someone who needed to be sorry, it was that devil.” I told her.

“You will be protected from now on, woman. I am going to do everything so that no one will ever hurt you.”

“Thank you, that’s why I was very eager to train as well. I want to be able to protect myself and those who can’t.”

“And that’s going to happen. Be ready because I am going to train you myself.” Aziz said, which made my eyes widen in disbelief. He is busy and training me will only put his work on hold. “Don’t think too much, I have looked for a professional as well and I will only need to have a weekly meeting to monitor the company,” he added, and I smiled. Thankful that we will always be together and look forward to our training.

“Go easy on me,” I told him and he chuckled.

“That’s not going to happen, woman, I am going to bring out the best in you,” he replied.

“Come on,” I complained.

“But I know that you will be able to get through it. I saw how you fought with Carter, so you’re going to be OK,” he replied. I believe him. If there was something I don’t like about him, it is the fact that he would say whatever it was that he wanted to say, regardless of whether I would get hurt or not, as long as it was for my benefit.
