Aleena’s POV
.
After that breaking news, everyone, literally everyone, held Eva and wanted to know the vivid story of everything that happened between her and Daniel. And in that situation, if I had gone into my room to plan something against her, then they would have thought that I wasn’t happy with my sister’s happiness, and exposing my true face in front of my in-laws was not a good decision.
So, reluctantly I stayed there listening to her so-called adventurous love story without any interest in my heart.
‘Aleena. What am I listening to?’ Mom’s mind linked all of a sudden.
‘How shall I know that?’ I questioned back, feeling frustrated.
‘Tomorrow is that bitch’s Luna ceremony.’
‘Yeah! You heard it, right. Not just that, they had marked each other before I could have done anything.’, I grumbled. ‘Now, I can’t wait to discover Eva’s weakness. I have to choose Plan B, which I had planned to use on Daniel earlier.’
‘You mean witch portion?’
‘Yes! I had kept it in my rose water bottle in my room but now that all my thing is in a forensic lab. You need to bring another bottle of a rose water bottle from my room tomorrow.’
‘Are you sure that you’re going to use this?’
‘Absolutely.’
‘By using this, the human part of Daniel will fall in love with you but not his wolf. And in case his wolf overpowers his human, then he will look for his fated mate who is not you.”
‘I will make the human part reject Eva, and then I will see what I can do with his wolf. Moreover, I don’t need to worry about it more because as long as anyone tells him the exact truth to him about the witch portion’s fact, the spell won’t break, and his human will keep loving him. Also, no wolf can go against his human for long because they are two souls and one body. At some point, they will have to agree with one another.’, I pointed out, recalling my wolf.
‘And what if Daniel will want both Eva and you at the same time then?’
‘Till then, I will arrange a perfect place for this bitch. You just don’t forget to bring the portion tomorrow because I can’t do a thing here because of that bloody BETA.’
‘What did he do now?’
‘He still doubts me and secretly keeps an eye on my every movement. Do you know, he also knew about everything that Daniel had planned, but he didn’t inform a word of his family members just because I was here. His presence near me was like a hanging sword on my neck. Though I remain confident about my work, his eyes make me nervous with the thought, what if I ended up leaving some clue for him?’
‘You’re just overthinking all the things just because the Beta is too smart. Anyways, I will bring that portion tomorrow.’
‘Great. And you will also have to make sure to make him drink it because everyone can doubt me here, but they won’t doubt you and your intention because you’re going to be Daniel’s mother-in-law. That would be a completely different story that the Luna will be your real daughter, not the stepdaughter.’
‘All right then, see you tomorrow evening.’
‘Same here, Mom. I’m so excited about tomorrow evening. I can’t wait to make my plan into action.’, I said before closing the min link. The moment I ended the mind link, my eyes landed on Eva, who was smiling at me.
‘Stupid!’ I thought. ‘Because this smile won’t last long.’
******
Next Evening!!
Just like I had expected, I could feel several eyes on me as if that Beta had assigned duty to his pack members to keep an eye on me. But little did they know that I wasn’t going to do a thing tonight. I looked at my mom, who was holding the rose water bowl in her hand to sprinkle it on Daniel, and the excuse she gave about it was that it was a kind of holy rose water that was sprinkled on the newly mated couples individually, to strengthen the bond between them.
She had already sprinkled normal rose water on Eva, and now it was Daniel’s number.
I smiled, thinking that finally, that moment was here, for which I was waiting for long. I observed that Daniel was disconnecting someone’s call again and again.
Who the hell was disturbing him on the day of the ceremony?
Maybe someone would be calling to congratulate him.
The moment mom sprinkled rose water on him, he left from there to receive the call, and those water landed on the face of Stephen, who was standing just behind Daniel.
Holy shit!
Both mom and my eyes widened in shock.
Soon, Daniel returned to his position after finishing the call.
“I’m sorry, Mom. It was the call from Werewolf King. You can sprinkle the holy water on me this time.”, he apologized politely. But his SORRY was not going to undo the things which had already happened.
That was it.
It could be used only once for any person. Mom reluctantly sprinkled rose water on him, but we both knew that it wasn’t going to work on Daniel because it would have already started showing its effect on the Beta.
Now, this was the record-breaking worst thing of my life. I couldn’t even rank it.
‘I should quickly fly from here before that Beta approaches me.’
‘Mom, I’m leaving for our pack.’ My mind linked to her.
‘No, wait!’, She stopped me. ‘Just wait for me near your dad’s car. I will be joining you there soon.’
‘Please hurry up then.’
I left because I now had no reason to stay there. One, Soon, Eva would be the taking the oath, and second, that Beta. Both things were worst for me.
To be honest, my mind had stopped working at this moment. I was thinking of telling the truth to the Beta and breaking the spell, but then that would be more like confessing my crime in front of him, in short, signing a death agreement. And if the spell wouldn’t break then, he would chase me all over the world until he claimed me.
And to be with him is the last thing that I ever wanted in my life.
“Mom!!” I said desperately when I saw her. “I don’t know what to do now?”
“Simple. Just go with the flow.”
“Excuse me?”
“You heard me, sweetheart. Haven’t you read that keep your friends close and your enemies closer? And to attack Eva from inside, you need to be near her.”
“Nope!” I shook my head. I can’t stand a minute with that Beta.”, I said, shaking my head. “Not to forget, I’m an Alpha female. I’m not born to fulfill the responsibility of any beta female. I’m not going to stay under that bitch.”
“Why are you thinking in that way? Better think in another way that even information is first delivered to Beta and then Alpha. You will get a chance to tan the image of Eva by proving to pack members how incapable she is of Luna’s position, and you can also create misunderstanding between Daniel and Eva in this way. And not to forget, by staying near the Beta and Luna, you can kill one and put the blame on the other one. In this way, both the thorn of your life will be out of your life. And I don’t need to tell you the plan that how you’re going to accomplish it because you are smart enough to figure that out on your own..”
“But mom…
“If you want to go the heaven, then at first you have to do some good deeds and then die. In the same way, if you want to be the Luna of this pack, Daniel’s mate, then you will have to play this game. All you have to do is to Deceive the Beta until your work is done. And since he doesn’t have a mate. I doubt that his wolf would have any problem with you.”
“And what about my wolf?”
“What about her?”, She asked, being clueless about the fact that Leia takes control over my body after I sleep. She said more like threatened to keep this deal between us OR she wouldn’t mind disclosing all her secrets to everyone. “Why will she have any problem this time? It was not that you are snatching someone’s else mates.”
Though her idea made sense but still, sharing a few days of my life with the Beta was no less than a nightmare. I so hated him. I hated him from the bottom of my heart.
“What you two are doing here?” I turned around and found dad standing over there, and he was eyeing us suspiciously.
“Nothing, darling. Seeing Eva and Daniel together, she couldn’t help herself from missing her jerk mate who rejected her. That’s why she ran away from there.” Mom covered up for me. Dad reached near me and caressed my cheek softly.
“I’m sure Moon Goddess would have planned something good for my princess.”
“I’m not going to wait for her to do something, dad. Instead, I will choose a perfect mate for me on my own.”, I huffed.
Dad shook his head and smiled before speaking, “Sure. You can try it. But at the same time, you can’t change your fate. No matter how hard you will try to change it, you can’t as long as Moon Goddess wants the same.”, he finished his theory. “Now come on, this is not the place where you should be at this moment.”, Saying this, he kept his hand around my shoulder and started taking me toward the ceremony, and mom followed us. By the time I reached there, I had sawed Stephen standing on the stage with a big smile on his face and holding a mic in his hand.
Oh! This didn’t look good.
I would be lying if I didn’t see how his eyes twinkled when he saw me.
