Chapter 14 Chapter 14) Her replacement.
The next day,
{6am}
“No. Elder sister!”.
Demira’s eyes swung open, and as soon as that happened, she felt a cold breeze wash over her.
‘What happened to me?’. She was surprised to see herself lying in bed.
She wondered who it was that made her lie on the bed, but that thought soon faded away as she remained lying in the bed and staring at the ceiling for a while, before she sat up on the bed.
Her face was pale, with cold sweats sliding down both sides of her temples.
“Sister”. She muttered.
Her feet touched the ground, as she wanted to get off the bed.
“Where do you think you are going?”.
She instantly turned to her side after hearing his voice.
There she saw Alejandro sitting on the sofa, with one of his legs above the other.
His arms rested on the top of the sofa, so with his head, as he stared above him.
She frowned as she saw him looking relaxed. But that did not stop her from getting out of bed.
The moment she stood on her feet, her legs wobbled a little, and she almost fell to the ground, if only she had not held the walls for support.
But despite this, step by step, she made her way to where Alejandro was sitting.
“Where is my sister?”. She asked, as that was her only worry at the moment. Nothing else mattered to her right now.
Still resting his head on the sofa, Alejandro turned his head to the side and stared at her, before he sat up on the sofa.
“She has been laid to rest”. He put it simply and looked like someone who had gotten over the pain of losing his mate.
Seeing that, Demira gritted her teeth.
She was beyond pissed off. She felt left in the dark.
All this while, she had been hearing about the Lycan King’s beloved without even having the slightest clue that his so-called beloved was her elder sister.
Her own flesh and blood.
She swallowed the invisible lump in her throat as she brought herself to ask him, “Did you truly love her? Then why did she kill herself?”.
Listening to her question, Alejandro felt greatly hurt within, but the cold look on his face never changed.
He had loved Tessie genuinely with everything he had.
He had cherished her and had given her everything she desired.
But she? She was the one who didn't love him back. She was the one who hurt him.
And, those hurtful words she wrote to him before taking her life… he has not stopped thinking about it.
When has he never made her feel important? When has he never respected her opinion?
He rose from the sofa and walked towards Demira.
He halted as he stood right in front of her.
After lowering his face to stare at hers, he said coldly, “Since your sister is no more, you are going to be her replacement. You had better get prepared because you are going to be my Luna. What your sister chose not to fulfill, you are going to fulfill it in her place!”.
Upon saying that to her, he turned around and stormed out of the guest room.
“My wedding with my new mate is scheduled to happen next week! Make sure that all the necessary arrangements are in place! I am going to have a grand wedding and make the world know about it!”.
“And you must teach her everything you know about the moonlight pack”.
“Failure to do that and you and your entire family will be exterminated!”.
“And warriors! Guard her room. If she dares to escape before our wedding, you had better kill yourselves before I find out about it!”.
Inside the room, Demira heard every single word spoken by Alejandro.
Her eyes reddened and the grip on her clothes tightened.
“Bastard”. She muttered and hated ever being found by him when she was at her weakest point.
Most especially, she hated and completely forbade the idea of getting married to the one who caused the death of her sister.
Her sister had just died, and rather than mourning her, he had recovered. How was she his beloved?
It was clear that he was a monster to her.
She was taken aback after the door to the guest room was pushed open after a brief knock.
When she stared in the direction of the door, she saw eight maidservants who were dressed in black and white dresses hurrying in her direction, and in front of them was an elderly but young werewolf who was around 50 years old.
“Greetings, our future Luna”. They all bowed their heads before her. But she could see that they had done that out of fear and not loyalty.
Not that she was bothered by that.
She remained silent and watched them.
Over time, they lifted their heads, and the elderly werewolf stepped forward. After placing a hand on her chest, she introduced herself with a bright smile on her face, “I am Felicia, young Miss. Your humble guide to knowing everything about moonlight pack”.
“I am in charge of making sure that you are ready to become our Lycan King's wife, and the Luna of our moonlight pack. Time is limited, so I ought to make you get equipped as soon as possible”. Felicia added while maintaining the polite smile on her face.
“Get out”. Demira said as she felt her blood boil.
“Pardon?”. The clueless Felicia asked because she did not quite hear what Demira had said, since her voice was like a whisper and barely audible.
“I said get out! Get out of this place right now! All of you!”. Demira yelled, but Felicia gasped in horror and fell to her knees.
The maidservants, after seeing Felicia fall to her knees on the ground, did not hesitate, and they fell to their knees with their heads touching the ground.
They were afraid, because they could not bear Alejandro's wrath if they failed in their mission.
