Chapter 45 CHAPTER 45
Daciana’s POV

My hands curled into a fist as I heard Kendrick’s words. His hand danced to Kryla's waist as he pulled her close. The nerve of him to do that in the presence of his luna– or sub luna. Whatever. 

“Kendrick, you’re hurting me,” I moaned as I stepped forward and held his hand. He pushed mine off. 

“Don’t touch me.” Kendrick growled and the muscle in his cheek twitched. The joke was over. I could tell from his sharp iron gaze. “Did I hear that you locked a girl in the dungeon?” 

I blinked at him. “Of course, Kyla went to tell her hero what had happened. Stupid girl.” I thought to myself as I shook my head at Kendrick. “No, I didn’t lock a girl, Kendrick.”

“Don’t you dare lie to me,” he fired at me. I flinched, stepping back. Kyla had shifted from him as well, I guessed she was equally scared of him. “Kyla doesn’t lie, Daciana, I need the truth from you now!!” 

I gulped, as I turned to Kyla with furrowed brows, but out of fear of Kendrick, my gaze didn't linger on her. I looked at Kendrick’s nose. I didn’t want to meet his eyes, else I might piss in my panties. “I– erm. I punished a maid for–”

Jez I couldn't say what I had punished her for. Damn it. I shouldn’t have challenged this wretch Kyla.

“For?” Kendrick asked. I stayed mute. He heaved a deep sigh. “And you said you didn’t lock a girl up. Did the maid happen to a gay, or an old hag?” 

I swallowed, unable to answer. Kendriuck grunted and grabbed Kyla’s hand, he pushed me out of the way and stormed past towards the dungeon. I stumbled and held myself against the wall to stop myself from falling. 

“Kendrick, you would pay for this. Maybe I would have to fan the flames that I had once let cool off.” I turned and stormed out of the hallway.   reached my room and slammed the door shut behind me. The room was dark, yet I slumped on the bed, in a seated position. 

A familiar scent filled my nostrils, and no it wasn’t the daisy scent of my room, or my scented candles. But something more expensive and unique. A scent only one bore. But how? 

I looked around the room, using my night vision. Yet I couldn’t see anything. Like a flash, I went to turn on the light switch. As I turned, I jumped when I saw it.

The cradle chair in my room, swinging. And someone was sitting on it. “Who–?” 

My questions were cut short when she turned and faced me. “Luna?” I asked. Her eyes were dimmed with sadness. She got down from her seat and started to approach me. “How did you get in here?”

“I have the key to every room in this castle, Daciana.” 

I gulped, balling my fists by my sides, as I recalled that she had taken sides with her son and with that stupid human. “But, that doesn’t give you the right to barge into my room in my absence, Luna." 

She gritted her teeth when I didn’t call her mother, like I used to. A small smile climbed her lips. “I brought this upon myself.”

I furrowed my brows and crossed my arms. What was she talking about now?

“My love has spoiled you.” she continued and I rolled my eyes, looking away. 

“If you love me, why would you side with my enemy?” I asked and immediately regretted it, but the question already left my mouth before I could stop it.

She clicked her tongue. “I loved you too much to see that there were certain issues you have. Daciana, you shouldn’t be the Luna of this pack. It would not be good for you or the pack.”

My eyes widened and then I closed it quickly. “What?” I asked, shaking my head as my eyes watered. “You have no right to renounce my place.” My voice was a little bit higher than I’d intended. 

She nodded. “Yes, I do.” 

I bit my bottom lip, staring at her speechless as I shook my head. “You think?” 

I would make everyone pay if they think to do me like this– I would ruin every one of their lives. That was my promise. 

“Kyla would be mated to Kendrick in the next full moon, you would be compensated and sent back to your parents by tomorrow evening.”

My head spinned, as my heart dropped into my stomach. The urge to vomit pricked the back of my throat. “What?!” 

“That is my verdict. I love you, but I shouldn’t let my love for you ruin three lives– and maybe the lives of every other member of this pack.”

I blinked and tears went rushing out of my eyes. “Mum, please. If you do this, my life is over. I can't survive without Kendrick, Mum.” I dropped on the floor and grabbed her legs. I heard her sniff. Was she moved to tears? I hoped my fake drama would make her change her mind. But I really couldn’t lose Kendrick. 

Being the Luna of this pack had been my dream for day one. That was why I even manipulated my parents into bringing a proposal for the betrothal of Kendrick and I. Then I played my cards right and I made Luna love me. The honour, wealth, affluence that came with being Kendrick’s Luna was too much to leave behind for a little human girl who understood nothing about pack affairs.

Luna shifted her legs back, I looked up to see her wiping her tears quickly, she was trying to hide them. “You would always be my daughter Daciana. When you go back home, I won't stop taking care of you. Everything you enjoy now, wouldn’t stop.” 

That was all, she turned and stormed out of my room,

My eyes went red as I pulled myself from the floor. “No, I am not a beggar, nor a charity case. Everything is mine and I was not meant to beg for it.” 

I faced my mirror, on the table in front of it laid my phone.I picked it and dialed a number. “Hello Kuman. It is time.” 

I ended the call and went straight into the bathroom, came out naked and I changed into an all black outfit, tied my hair into a pony tail and then a messy bun on top. 

“She said I would leave by tomorrow evening.” I smiled. “How about I challenge you, Mrs Hunt, that from tomorrow I will take your place as Luna of this pack?” I said to myself facing the wall.
