Chapter 4
What have we done? This was the only question that could be read on both my father’s and everyone else’s faces. The visitor attendants from other packs also had a pity look on their faces.
I dont think we did anything. The Lycan might just wish to visit for something else.” Diana broke the silence, letting out at smile to ease the tension.
We aren’t so sure. Why would he onder a curfew? We won’t want to lose half of our members to his wrath. My father sigh as he rolled back the scroll, drifting his gaze to his new Luna, who was still dressed in her wedding gown.
“Don’t worry. I have a strong belief that we hadn’t failed any rules to warrant that. Diana beamed, acting like a good Luna, and the smile that appeared on my father’s face only made me fume in anger and irritation.
I just don’t know what he saw in this witch-that he didn’t only marry her but chose her over everything, including me. He doesn’t care about anything except her, and I can’t remember the last time he visited my mother’s grave.
One thing I was so sure of was that Diana has no good intentions. Something about her isn’t straight, but I just can’t figure out what it is. Anytime I looked into those eyes of hers, I felt unsafe, and her hatred for me wasn’t normal.
My father dismissed everyone since it was drawing close to evening, and some traveled from quite a distance. Everyone had just now to 8 pm. before staying indoors to avoid a regret that one might not live to experience.
The story about the infamous Lycan king isn’t something new or unfamiliar. It is all stuck in everyone’s head, and the only good thing about him was his appearance.
Although I haven’t seen him in real life, the books I read about him had his pictures, and I could swear I admired him. He looks like one of those fallen angels. He had a cold expression, but it only made him hot and s x y.
His long black hair and chiseled jawline, blessed with those deep gray eyes, were enough to make every woman get wet. His tall, muscular stature was also something so domineering and amazing that you would just want to sink your body into him in a warm hug and lay there all day.
All these were fantasies I had in my head back then when I saw his picture, but that doesn’t mean I ever want to meet him. No one wants to. Meeting him is more of a danger because anything could spark his unhinged rage, and before you can plead for mercy, you have lost your breath and are already away from earth.
Now this dreadful man would be visiting this pack, and no one knew why he was coming or who he was coming to see. As much as I prayed it should be anywhere close to the castle, I knew without doubt that he must be here to meet the Alpha, which was my father.
“What are you
still doing here, you stu p i d girl?!” Diana yelled at me, making me look up to see that every one of the attendants had left except my ex-mate, if I could even call him that. He didn’t even allow me to enjoy the mate bond for up to a day before tearing it apart
“She is just a disgrace to this pack” Torian huffed with a twitched nose, and my father let out a sigh.
“I will decide her fate soon. I can’t allow my unborn child to meet her here in this pack. She has to leave so I can rebuild my life with my new family.”
I flinched at my father’s hurtful words, Chills ran down my spine as I peered at him in shock. My eyes were on his face as I tried to check if this was really the man I grew up with as my dad.
“Why do you hate me this much all of a sudden? What did I do? I’m rejected by everyone, including you and my mate. Should I just end my life??” I sniffed back my tears as my heart grew heavier.

wiped my tears hoping for this last empathy from him.
“He can do whatever he wants My father shrugged, looking away from me.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
I broke down. My world crumbled.
This hurts so much, so unbearable that I felt like killing myself on the spot.
“Toriar, she Alpha of the Blue Moon pack reject you Selene as my mate and severe all bonds between me and you!” His voice rumbled like thunder, breaking through the core of my heart and spreading that kind of pain which leaves the body numb and the l*ps clamped.
Then he stretched out his hand and sliced his wrist open a bit, allowing his blood to drip down to the ground.
He really hated me deeply but why? We didn’t even know each other well yet. It was as if he was longing to reject me before meeting me and that constant glance to Diana for approval really says a
It dawned on me at that moment that It was over. My hope of my mate taking me away from this place to escape Diana maltreatment was over.
I looked up and saw the satisfaction smile on her face while my heart felt so heavy that breathing was tough. I could feel the bond detaching, his scent fading from my nostrils.
My legs were weak to carry me, every fibre of my being exhausted and aching like they were being bashed.
Just then, the pack messenger rushed in with a scroll in his hand. He went before my father and knelt, handing the letter to
him.
“From the Lycan king…” He muttered and silence hit the whole room, everyone’s eyes widened as they stared at the letter in
fear.
I was also scared. This was unusual. It was something to tremble about after we all knew how cruel the Lycan king was. What could be in the letter? It had never ended well for packs that received letter Is from him as it had only been because they failed one of his rules or had done something he ordered for no pack to do.
I could see the anxiety in my father’s face as he took it from the messenger.
Slowly, he opened it and read through, his eyebrows creasing as confusion etched his face as a dead silence fell on the hall.
“The Lycan king is visiting our pack tonight and ordered a curfew from 8pm.” He announced as he lifted his gaze off the letter.

wrist had healed, but my heart didn’t seem to heal with it. The pain in her voice was touching the core of my heart, and I was literally fighting with myself, struggling to keep up the act.
She mentioned killing herself, and I couldn’t help the shudder that ran down my spine.
We won’t have to tell you what to do. You’re the main suspect in your mother’s death; it’s also in doubt whether you’re Alpha’s daughter because a lion can’t bore a goat. Your mate has rejected you, and even the whole pack has turned their backs on you.” Diana paused and shrugged.
“It won’t be bad if you end it all. Your life is already a mess!” She added with a little smile.
“Go back to your room now!” Her father snapped at her, and she rose, looked at me indignantly, then turned to Diana, her eyes red and full of tears. There was sheer hopelessness and deep sadness in those eyeballs as they flicked from side to side before she stomped out.
I felt bad, but the moment I turned back to Diana and saw her give me a sweet smile, it was as if my world was lightened up. and excitement coursed through every fiber of me.
I did all this for her. It hurts that she was getting married to another man who wasn’t me, but my love for her can never die, and I know what felt the same for me too.
We can still share that relationship secretly, and I’m ready to sacrifice anything for it to happen. She told me to reject my mate because she doesn’t want to share me with anyone, and I just did that gladly, and I feel fulfilled to see her smile in satisfaction.
She is more important than whatever bond I share with my mate. One day, I am sure we would be having a wedding, and 1 would be the groom and she would be the bride. That day will surely come.
“How didn’t I see all this while that this girl couldn’t be my daughter? You are really godsent, opening my eyes to see I was training up another man child.”
“Yes, my love. After the Lycans meeting, we will talk about what to do with her. Maybe make her one of the serva n t s Diana suggested, and he nodded.
“I will be taking my leave now. It was a pleasure to attend this great wedding ceremony oke with a huge smile, with the intention of breaking up their conversation.
I was already burning with jealousy hearing Diana call him “Love”
“Oh, let me escort him out.” Diana requested, and he nodded with a smile. “Sure, he is your special guest.”
We both walked out until we got to my cart.
“Perfect job!!” She shrieked, covering her m*uth to muttle the volume.
“Anything for you, babe.” I breathed, staring at her red l*ps that was so inviting to k*ss.
“I know. Well, you have one more job for me. She demanded.
“Just spill.” I coaxed.
“I want to get rid of Selene. She whispered, and it was like cold water was splashed all over my body as shivers ran through
“What?” I gasped, and she looked down at the ground soberly.
“Won’t you help me? You know her existence is a threat to me. I don’t trust her father. One day he might abandon me, especially if I fail to bear a son. No matter what, we both know she is his daughter, and that bond is still there.” She sulked

and raised her gaze back at me, those eyes so charming and her pouty l*ps making me salivate with a great urge to grab her close and k*ss her deep.
“What is your plan! She isn’t my mate anymore, so I don’t care if she dies!” I stated firmly, trying to hold her hand, but she drew it back.
“Eyes are watching. Let’s not give them any clues. We will soon have so much time together some day.” She reassured me, and I grinned, redding.
“Okay, do you have a plan? You know she is from the royal family.” I said, reminding her we can’t kill her ourselves.
The Lycan king is the last pawn to get the job done, and since the rejection is still early, the ache and longing desires still linger. All you have to do is call her out to visit you somewhere in the nearby forest around 7:05 p.m. with the promise to take her away.” She relayed, leaving me surprised.
“Ahh. I don’t think she will believe. She won’t agree. I’m sure she hates me so much now.”
“She saw us sharing eye contact. Once you tell her I was the one who forced you to reject her and that you love her so much and want to elope with her to your pack, there is no way she won’t run out like a mad girl, believing all you say. I’m sure.”
“Wow… So, how will I pass the message to her, and what will happen when she comes to the place?” I asked.
“She will come out and meet you very
ery soon as I leave here. Tell her all that with reassurance. As for what happens when she goes to the forest, leave that to me. Tell her to meet you at the popular iroko tree. She knows the place.”
“Diana, I am doing all this because I love you so much. I hope you know.” I breathed, and she nodded.
“I love you too. I have to leave now before my husband becomes suspicious. She smiled and hurried away immediately.
“My husband.” I mimicked, gritting my teeth in fury and envy.
I met Diana when she visited my pack with her first husband, who wanted to beg for a loan. Their pack is the lowest and needs help from us. My love for Diana was at first sight, and we found a way to meet.

She made me know she doesn’t like her mate and wishes to reject him, but she just
e she wants to keep her Luna status. We became so close that she often visited my pack alone just for us to spend time together.
Suddenly, she stopped visiting. I couldn’t reach out to her in the pack since I didn’t want to be caught mingling with a fellow Alpha’s wife. After all those years, some days ago I received an invitation that she was having a second wedding.
I was heartbroken that she met someone else, but she promised me it was just a short-term plan, and after she gets what she wants, she will come to me, and we will live together till death departs us.
I believed her. There was no reason not to.
Just then, I saw Selene walking towards me, just as Diana had assured me earlier.
