Chapter 52
“You’ll lead the wolf to war, sweet.”
“Me? But why?” I stare at his eyes and held his gaze, trying to understand what he meant.
“Because you can do it, I can’t not when I’m like this. You would lead, you’re the Luna and everyone would respect you and do as your say. You’ve proven yourself worthy of the position anyway.”
“What about you?”
“I’ll be beside you. That’s the only favor I ask of you. Be the lead.”
“What’s wrong with you, why ain’t you saying anything, you’re sick ain’t you. You should get it treated, I’ll call the physician.”
He held me back, placing my head back on his shoulders.
“You would help me won’t you, and help me get back at my brothers and take my place back at moonlight pack.”
I nodded.
“I’ll help, but what did your brothers do to you?” I had wanted to ask how he came here when he was part of the moonlight pack, and what happened. Since he wasn’t gonna talk about what this sickness was all about.
He sighed. I caress my hand on him, he stares at her intertwined hands.
“I grew up having been hated by my brothers, I was the fourth son, and Sean was the eldest. Then Jason and Cartel, you’ve met him.”
I nodded. It was a silly encounter. I didn’t even want to remember meeting Cartel. Because we had met him naked. Though it was normal for wolves to be naked it wasn’t for me. It wasn’t something I was used to.
That was kinda embarrassing seeing him like that. I shove the thought off.
Cartel was nice and sweet. I guess the other brothers would be the opposite of him.
He coughed slightly.
“My mother died when she beget me, I killed her that was what I was told, she died because of me. I had so much strength at birth..” it was a sad smile he let out.
“Sometimes I wonder if it was a good thing I was this strong. My brothers hated me, I didn’t know why, and I accepted my fate. When I was four, my scared of me. I was stronger than my mates. That was when I was given the task to have every child killed that night..”
“Because of curse?”
He stare at me, I removed my hands from his. He then nods.
“I was meant to kill you that night. The night you were born, if you hadn’t been saved. I would’ve..”
“Don’t say it.” I cut him off calmly but not rudely though.
I don’t even know what to think.
“We’re even, don’t you think”
He smiled and took my hands again in his.
“I probably won’t have killed you if I had seen you as a baby, you would have got me struck in love.”
I chuckled. He also knows what to say.
“So what happened next?”
“I grew up, with Creamy. That was how Creamy came and he became my brother. And a mother.” He chuckled at the last path.
That’s how long their relationship has been.
“..he was adopted by my father when he raided their pack and join the pack together. Most of the wolves were killed.”
He must’ve had a hard life too.
“That’s how you guys become one.”
He nods.
“..I was framed for killing my father and become a traitor. My brother wanted me out. We were hunted by them. That was how we ran out of moonlight pack. But now, he’s coming for us again. Found out we’re alive and found out you too.”
“What about me?”
“That you’re alive, he wanted to kill you because..”
“Because of the curse. The moonlight pack are been affected by it.”
The shock on his face was alarming. He hadn’t expected me to figure it all out. He should know I knew all about it. What my existence could do to the pack that I was cursed in.
He touched my face. His hand held my jaw and lift them. Staring into my eyes.
I shut my eyes. Expecting it, this was the moment it comes.
I waited.
But nothing, I opened an eye and saw the amusing grin on his lips.
“What were you expecting. Silly.”
I pouted. While he laughed at my silly face.
I cleared my throat and touch my hair.
Jerk!
He chuckled.
Like he knew what I was thinking.
“I didn’t like telling anyone how I had lived because they mostly give me the pity face. But you were different. I feel at ease saying it.”
“No one understands better.”
He chuckled.
When the kiss came I hadn’t expected it. It was quick at first almost like a peck. I smiled as he kissed me again and pulled me closer to him.
I moaned softly as he kissed down my neck, I was now sitting on his thighs, with my legs wrapped around his torso.
His kiss because harder and rough, and his hands gripped my waist.
I straddle him, moaning behind his ears. His hands on my body works like magic and the only thing I could think of was him.
All at once, he stopped kissing me and buried his head on my bare breast.
“I’m sorry, we can’t do this.”
“Why?” It was stupid asking why wasn’t it? But it came out anyway. I wanted to know why he said that. Why can’t we...? You know.
“Put on your shirt.” He helps me with my shirt and put them over my head.
I sighed and let him dress me.
“We can’t..” He muttered and help me up. We stood up from the floor.
“You should leave..”
“I..I..” I want to stay, can’t I say that. Why would he want me to go out?
“I wanna be alone for a while. Please.”
I simply nodded and dragged my embarrassed feet off the room. I didn’t even look back. I didn’t stare at him at all.
I wanted to hurry but I couldn’t. So I walked slowly and carefully, if I decide to hurry, I might end up falling on my face.
“Sorry.” I heard him mutter behind me.
He shouldn’t be sorry. There wasn’t any need for it or was there?
