THE CURSED LUNA AND HER FATED MATE

Aimee's POV

"Aimee, from now, I want you to be my mate and you can't reject me!"

What?

Did I hear right?

How could Alpha James ask me to marry him? Obviously I'm not his mate, but… why?

"I'm sorry... But I don't understand what are you talking about, Alpha James. I mean--."

"Are you going to refuse what I asked? Wake up, Aimee. If it weren't for my late parents being concerned about your parents' death, maybe you would have become a rogue in the forest there and wouldn't even have lasted long."

Yeah, he's right. I don't have the power to refuse, after all, I've admired Alpha James for a long time. Although his nature is very cold to me and I know he does not love me at all.

"Y-yes, Alpha James. I understand. I was just asking why--."

"No question, I will prepare our wedding as soon as possible. But, one thing you must remember, don't think that I chose you because I fell in love and was attracted to you. No, your face is beautiful, but I never had the desire to have a wife from a weak omega like you, Aimee. You're still the omega in this pack, you're not my Luna."

Alpha James's gaze is as cold as the air tonight. The moonlight shining on his face made it clear how cynical he was expressing every sentence to me. He is like an eagle that flies high after catching its prey.

Even the sound of his footsteps on this silent night felt very manly. He's bad when it comes to interacting with me, but he's still the best among all the existing Alphas.

He looked so perfect, green eyes, light brown hair, fair skin, a firm jawline and a well-built body. What's more when he has changed his form into a wolf, I have never seen a big and black wolf that is so stunning as his.

The offer he gave me just now naturally I didn't think twice to immediately accept. What am I, I'm just an omega who doesn't even have the ability to change my form into a wolf.

Yeah, you didn't hear me wrong. I'm different, I'm not like the other werewolves. Physically, I look perfect, not perfect like a beautiful luna, NO. I look like a normal werewolf who can change shape, even though I've never communicated with my wolf.

I don't even know who my mate is, I can't answer any of these. No one could offer an explanation, if there was one, they would not want to talk. Everyone in Red Moon thinks of me as nothing more than their servant. The weird omega, that's my nickname in this pack.

My life is indeed sad, my parents had to be killed because of a rogue attack when they wanted to take me on an excursion as a child. Our family is part of the Alpha James family's pack.

My reflections make me even more certain to be "happy" regarding the offer that Alpha James had just given me. I will never find my mate, I will continue to be weak like this. Marrying Alpha James will probably be one fun thing and a big dream that I can remember even if it hurts.

"Aimee, open your door!"

The sound woke me up, my room which was filled with sunlight made me realize that I woke up too late today.

Shit.

"Aimee?!"

"Yes, I'm coming."

As soon as the door to my room opened, James's face was looking at me with a vicious look. He came alone with a black leather jacket that made him even more handsome. My heart was beating fast, I don't know if it's because I'm afraid he'll scold me or because I'm captivated by his charm.

"Do you know what time it is?"

I looked to the right where the wall clock was, I saw that the long hand was already pointing at eight in the morning. God, I'm two hours late to wake up.

"I'm sorry, I can't--."

"What I'm asking is what time it is, I don't want to hear your explanation," said Alpha James coldly.

"Eight o'clock, Alpha James."

"Two hours passed, you didn't come and let a lot of work scattered in the mansion. Have you forgotten who you are in this pack? Don't tell me because I want to marry you then you can do whatever you want. I can even kick you anytime from this pack, Aimee. When we get married, you'll never get space in the mansion, your place stays in this small building. Understand?"

Every sentence that I just heard is like a sharp knife that cuts my body, it hurts so bad. Actually I'm used to hearing every babble they corner me since the death of my parents nine years ago, but… still this feels more painful. I doubted my happiness last night, maybe this dream shouldn't have happened.

"There is a pile of trash in the backyard, I want you to clean up the entire grounds of the mansion. Me and the rest of the members will go to the lake to train, when I come back, I want this mansion to be tidy and clean. If you don't, then you won't get dinner until tomorrow, Aimee."

His sharp eyes kill me, I want to shed my tears in front of him but it won't be possible.

"I understand, Alpha James. I'm sorry for the messed up that I caused, today."

Alpha James didn't flinch at my words, he immediately turned his body and ran like a wind.

His lingering scent made my chest feel tighter. Even though the marriage he said had not happened, he was also not my mate, but somehow my heart felt so broken.

O The Moon Goddess, why did you tell me such a bitter story? Was I really made for a crappy life?

This is Sad.
