Chapter 7

Mica

That crazy bastard! I am not going to forgive him. He should just let me go and let me live my life the way I like it all by myself. Is he thinking of making me want him this way? I don't know what his deal is, but there's no way that I am going to accept him especially after he did this. "I'm sorry Luna, Alpha has a reason for this." The man, who I suppose is that idiot's beta, said. We just got into the room after we entered a cave-like place.

"Just leave, I didn't want to hear anything from you and your kind." I said before I turned my back at him and sat on the single bed. The idiot Alpha told the man to bring me to the dungeon. I didn't think that it would look like this. Isn't it a prison or something? Why is it this clean and very liveable? It was bigger than the apartment I was living in and a lot more beautiful too.

"I'm sorry again, Luna." The beta said before he left me. I didn't mind being left in here, the place is clean and very comfortable. I laid down on the bed and oh the mattress was very soft. I thought dungeon is a place where they torture rogues or anyone of their enemies. I was imagining that I won't be able to bear the scent of blood and death but realize that I was over thinking. Or maybe theirs is different from the others.

Working in the diner made me learn a lot about werewolves and vampires. They normally talk about their dungeon and how they tortured some rogues who lurked around their borders. I also found out that vampires are their number one enemy. It appears that they never let any leech kill a human. It was so ironic because their kind killed humans too. And one of them was my father.

Because of that I couldn't help but remember our happy times when we're together. Me, my mom and dad. We're not rich but we're happy with what we have. I remember my dad being so workaholic but he still had time for me. My mom takes care of me and him, giving our home a good vibe. A lot of my classmates were envious because of the kind of family I had. Ahh... those were the times.

Now, I am in their territory being claimed by an alpha. He had seen me earlier but why didn't he say anything? Why only after he comes back? Am I really his mate or was he just being arrogant? What about my job at the diner? Will Cane and Lottie fire me? Please, not that. I get up and have a look if there was anyone outside my cell hoping to ask whoever he was to tell my bosses that I was forcefully taken by their alpha. But sad to say, there was no one there.

I get back to the bed and lay down. I will just rest since I am tired because of the double shift that I just had from yesterday. Caroline, one of the crew, took a day off for health problems. As far as I know, wolves don't get sick so I wonder why she was not feeling well. Anyway, it's her own problem and not mine. After a little later, I didn't notice my eyes shut.

"Mica, Mica," I opened my eyes and found the woman who was with the alpha. What was her name again? Yeah, Hera. I looked around and realized that I was still in the dungeon. Exactly where that beta left me and there stood the freak alpha staring at me worriedly. Why? "You're dreaming," the woman said in a low and sad voice.

"I didn't." I replied, "What are you doing here? Are you going to come in and out of here just like that? You should have not come and disturb me when you already see that I am sleeping." I said hastily.

"She's just worried that's why she wakes you up." The alpha said angrily.

"I already said that I am just sleeping." I talked back and didn't care if he thought that I was being disrespectful to him.

"It's fine, Aziz." Hera said, so that's his name. Very superior and matches him. Then I noticed her smiling, which made me feel like she knew something. No it can't be, we just met or rather see each other so there's no way that she knew me.

"Are you hungry, do you want to eat?" She asked again. She's very friendly and seemed nice, so I gave her that. But she's still a wolf, the same species that took my father's life. They cannot be trusted.

"I'm fine. I will ask for food when I want to." I decided to tell her even if I was feeling hungry. But I didn't want that freak alpha to know. Especially when he is looking at me angrily. I lay down to bed again and turned my back at them. Indirectly telling them not to bother and leave me alone.

"I am going to ask someone to bring you food here." The woman said but I didn't reply. If she'd really do that, I will be very thankful. My dinner the other night was my last meal but I didn't want them to know that. They should have not woken me up, now I am feeling hungry. When I dream I get to see my parents, even if it was the time when they left me, I am still happy for a simple reason that I saw them. So I closed my eyes and tried to get my sleep back.

"Mica, Mica," Argh... why can't they just let me sleep? I opened my eyes and found Hera again. Why is she so persistent? She smiled at me when she saw me looking at her. "It's morning already and you didn't eat the food I sent you here last night. Come, let's eat together." She said and I was puzzled and looked around. "You're still in the dungeon and it's morning." She informed me.

"Where is he?" I asked and didn't bother looking at the food she was offering.

"Who?"

"The arrogant freak Alpha." I answered even though I knew that she knew who I was talking about.

"Aziz is in his office. He wanted to come and see you but I stopped him. I'm afraid that you're not going to eat again if you saw him." She replied and I sighed. Even if I felt annoyed whenever I see him, I don't know why I still want to see him. Is this how their mate bond works? "Come on, I'm really hungry." She said and I got up and went to a small table where she put our food. "You seemed tired." She noticed but I didn't reply. I don't think I need to explain to her.

The food is good and I like it. I may be super hungry but I know how to acknowledge good food even if I didn't like the one serving it. I am not saying that I didn't like Hera, it was the opposite. It's just that, she's a wolf. "Do you have a boyfriend?" She asked and I don't think that she's going to stop asking me questions o I just replied,

"No." Then she was so happy. I sighed when I thought that it matters to her so much. My reply, I mean. She doesn't have to talk to me, I don't know her and she doesn't know me either and it will be understandable if we just ignore each other. But she's different, I don't know in what way. Maybe because she's stubborn as well.

"If you feel like talking you can count on me. I like you." She said with a sincere smile on her face.

"Until when will I be staying here?" I asked.

"I am very sorry for this. Aziz didn't want this either whether you believe it or not. He is just trying to protect you and me."

"Who are you to him?"

"I will tell you because I know that I can trust you. We're siblings and we only met yesterday as I only found out about him. It appears that our father separated us for security reasons." She replied,

"Why does he need to protect me? Because I am human?"

"That and the same reason why we have to be separated from each other. We have our enemy and he was worried that he would use you to get to him. So be patient and understanding if ever he denies you in front of the others. He's just protecting you." She explained. I sighed heavily thinking I am now entangled with their issues. I should have been living in my own life, working in the diner but I had to be his mate. The creature I hated the most.

"Whatever it is that is holding you back to accept him, please don't use it against him. He is not the one who does you wrong. I heard that he is ruthless and fierce. But after meeting him, all I see is a loving brother and alpha. If you can, please try to get to know him better." She added hesitantly.

She was very convincing. I saw sincerity in her eyes but what can I do? I already had a bad experience with their kind. It will be difficult for me to just accept them thinking I had neglected my parents' cause of death. I feel like I dishonor them if I am going to live as that alpha's Luna. Plus, what she said about her brother contradicts his actions. So even if I wanted to believe her, the fact that I could see that alpha's arrogance, I don't think I will be able to accept him just like that. Arghh.. I don't know what I should do.

"Will you come and live with me in the pack house? I don't know anyone in there and Aziz was hiding me as his siblings as well. I wanted someone I can talk with where I can be truthful of what and who I am in the pack." She said afterwards.

"If this is your way of trying to get me closer to your brother---" I said but she cut me off.

"I admit that I wanted you two to be together. But that is between you and him. I can't get in between or try to act cupid because you are already mates. The bond will draw you near to him and him to you. My intentions are clean and that is only so I could have someone I am comfortable with." She said, "Of course you can tell me anything you want as well. If you want to curse Aziz, you can do so and I am not going to tell him that." She added, laughing.

"Why would she have to curse me?" Asked the man we were talking about. It was unfair that I will never know when he's around because I don't have a wolf.
