Chapter 13

"How about you? Do you already love Alpha?"she asked with a smile.

I don't know what to answer. It's like I felt something electric that makes my heart beat faster. How can I love the person who killed my parents?

"No." I answered frugally.

“No? With all the goodness he showed you and his good looks? Are you still not in love with him?" Martha asked me in disbelief.

I took a deep breath and explained to her that love is not that easy to learn. But she became even more curious to ask me about it.

"You're different, Crema. After all,he already has everything and the women here still dream of him. You're the only one who got his attention and captured his heart,"Martha said.

 "You're right, that's why I gave him a chance to change my mind," I replied with a smile.

"You're amazing,Crema. Just imagine that an Alpha Dior is chasing you,"she praised. 

"That's the way it is. I don't think that a woman will chase after a man. No way! so don't surround yourself with sadness just because of a man," I advised her.

"You're right, but how long will Alpha wait for you?When do you intend to accept him as your mate?"she asked.

"He will go crazy waiting and suffer until he dies,"my mind said sarcastically.

"That depends, Martha. Wait, why did the conversation go to me? Are we talking about your problem?" I changed the topic.

I don't even know why the conversation went to Alpha Dior and me. I don't even want to talk about that man because I'm annoyed. My blood warms especially when I see the women lusting after his body. Wait, why am I annoyed?

I immediately turned my attention to what I had turned my attention to and invited Martha to come back inside the castle. From that night on we became close friends. But I never forgot Elvis' advice to me so I still didn't give my whole trust in her. It's enough for me that I can talk to someone every time I'm alone to ease my longing for Coach Nieves and Daisy.And I also could comfort someone's heart too.

After our long conversation, we both said our goodbyes and entered our respective rooms.

When I entered my room, I lay on the bed but my eyes were wide open. My mind was still flying and I was confused about planning my next step. I don't want to stay here any longer so I have to make out my plan .I have to take the next step because that's what I came here for. To take revenge on the Merciless Alpha who murdered my parents.Justice is all I want but why is this?

Even My mind wants to finish the mission immediately, there is still a part of me that wants to stay here. And that's what I have to stop, so I always remember Coach's advice to me when I was still in my boxing training.I should never give in to emotions because my enemy can use it against me. 

The next day I woke up early and got up. I showered and cleaned myself. It was another day of my stay in Wound woods. 

After I fixed myself, I left my room.But I was very surprised when Alpha Dior appeared in front of me.

 "You surprised me, Alpha," I told him.

"I'm sorry, Crema." he responded gently. 

"Have you been out here for a while?" I asked.

"I think so but nevermind about it. Anyway, is your wound still painful?" he asked worriedly.

"What are you! It's just sharp. It's like an ant bite," I answered with a smile.

"Are you sure?" he assured.

"You are so overprotective, Alpha," I said with a smile.

"Maybe that will kill you," said my mind.

I smiled sweetly at him and came closer. I thought of teasing him in a seductive way. 

"You're very overprotective of me. I think I'm about to change my mind," I gave him a crazy smile.

I heard his deep breathing as we both got closer. I smiled at the plan I was thinking of. I thought that since he was over protective, I could make him follow me wherever I go.

"How far can you protect me, Alpha?" I whispered to him.

"You already know the answer to your question, Crema,"his cold and gentle voice said gently.

I could feel the fluttering butterflies in my stomach again. I immediately moved away from him and averted my eyes from him.

"I want to go for a walk in the forest. Will you come with me?" I asked him.

"Have you forgotten what happened yesterday?" he asked with a frown.

"You are always there and I know you can protect me," I insisted.

"But I can't always be with you because I can't leave my pack here in the Wound woods. They also need my protection," he insisted.

“Why are you explaining to me? I'm not forcing you, Alpha," I answered firmly.

"I'm just saying," he explained.

"I'm not forcing you to join me. But you also have no right to stop me," I told him firmly.

"Crema!" he said with a frown and he was obviously angry at what I said.

I brought my face close to him and slapped him. I challenged him in the way I know how and he was obviously holding back his anger,

"Are you mad?! Go ahead, hurt me, hurt your beloved mate!," I challenged him.

"Crema, please listen to me. Why are you very stubborn?!" he asked firmly.

"Did you listen to my parents when they begged you? Did you listen to them when you mercilessly murdered them?!” my mind screamed.

Aries suddenly came and called him so our conversation was interrupted. He sighed and came closer to Aries. Aries gave him a golden paper. He immediately opened it and I couldn't help but peek but I didn't understand anything. He quickly folded the paper and said goodbye to me. I became curious so I chose to follow them. 

While walking in the corridor, I met Martha and we smiled at each other. She was happy to announce that tonight there will be a gathering for a Mating ritual of two fated werewolves to accept each other as mates.

While Martha was telling the story, envy was evident in her eyes. As for me, I was curious about what would happen later on how the two mates would bond with each other.Elvis has already told about it but I still want to personally witness it with my own two eyes.

After a few hours, they were busy preparing for the gathering. My eyes couldn't catch Alpha Dior. But why am I looking for him?

A few moments later, the werewolves gathered together. I looked around but I still couldn't find him. Until a man walked towards the front and it was none other than him.He was very handsome in the clothes he was wearing, especially when I saw the shape of his muscular body.

"We are all here to witness the union of two mates.Gamma Dylan and his mate,Romania," he announced in front of us.

I don't know why I'm annoyed to think that he didn't even look for me. Maybe it's because he's used to making himself proud to introduce me in front of many people.I can't help but think if he's mad at me because of earlier?

I just took a breath and tried to ignore my thoughts at that time. I just focused my attention on watching two mated wolves just like ordinary people getting married. But there was something different about it and that's what I wanted to witness.

A few moments later the ceremony began and everyone was seriously listening and watching to witness it. I just stared at the two mates in front to wait for what they would do and was surprised to see what the male wolf did to his mate.
