Kate’s POV.
Hours has passed, I was engrossed in my reading
and I have read almost half of the Book “The Fierce Luna.”
How she had training herself and develop herself, from the lonely orphan in hiding into the Fierce Luna that every Alpha feared to challenge.”
How the Moon goddess had made her meet her Fated mate, the Lycan King Radon who had supported her, and fight by her side to take back her father’s pack.
I don’t think my own Lycan King can support me, I thought to myself.
Since the day I arrived at this pack, he has not even had a conversation with me.
He only comes in and sniff in my Scent and leave.
I guess that keeps him calm.
I could always see the calmness in his face whenever he sniffs in my scent.
Don’t worry he will come, around
I jolted out of my thought,
Looking round my room in search of the owner of the voice.
It’s me Lyka, your wolf.
Oh, I relax into the chair.
You’ve forgotten me so easy, Lyka said.
I could sense a little disappointment in her soft voice.
Oh no, I’m not just used you speak suddenly like that, I said.
I could I possibly forget you, when I’ve been wanting to speak to you all my life, I added.
Perhaps, you could clear your voice before speaking, that would grab my attention, pending the time I am use to you. I suggested.
Okay no problem, Lyka said.
As I am saying,
Don’t worry about our mates behaviour, he will come around soon.
That he won’t be able to resist our absence, Lyka concluded.
And how did you know he is our mate, I asked.
I could sense him, whenever he is close.
In Fact, it is his closeness that had help me in my recovery.
Even though I am not fully recovered, his closeness to us will speed up our recovery, Lyka said.
But I don’t like the way he just sprang in on me, and start sniffing me without having a conversation with me, I retorted.
When just bear with him, and focus on our recovery.
You know we can resist now that we are weak,
to avoid what had happened in our first life, Lyka said.
Yeah, talking about recovery I need to get the herbs from the gardener.
He must have gotten them ready for me.
I stood up immediately, wear my shoes and stepped out of my room, closing the door behind me.
As I reached the first floor, I saw the Blonde b. tch coming towards my direction,
I haven’t seen her since after our first encounter.
I looked away trying to avoid eye contact with her, as I am not ready to start any Drama again today.
There she is the Almighty Luna of the Bloodmoon Pack,
Hello your Highness, she said with a sarcastic voice.
Ignore her Kate, Lyka said to me.
I did and passed beside her brushing her off with my side without looking back.
I went straight to the Garden in search of the pack’s gardener.
But he isn’t in the garden,
I went to his cabin and knock.
The door opened and he came out.
In his hands are the herbs I had instructed him to get ready for me.
I’ve been waiting for you my Luna, he said.
He handed over the herbs to me,
Thank you…,
Your name please, I asked.
Oh my name is Gareth, he replied.
Thank you Gareth, I said.
So are you busy Gareth, I asked
Of course not I ‘m just in my Cabin resting, he responded.
Do you care to show me around the garden,
I would like to know more Herbs and there functions, I said.
Okay no problem my Luna, he said.
Call me Kate, please.
You’re old enough to be my father,
And besides, It’s not as if I am officially the Luna of the pack yet…
That doesn’t matter, so far you have been mated to the Alpha king, you’re our Luna, he responded.
We went straight into the garden.
He took me to the herbs section.
Here the herbs are arranged in rows according to their functions.
Hence they would be easy to find,
He showed me series of herbs, some of which I know about and some I don’t.
Follow me, he said.
He turned into a corner and opened a small door no one can spot, if not told about it just like back in Twilight Fang pack.
He held the door for me to enter,
And then closed the door behind him.
Wow, I was awestruck with the place I just entered.
It is very big just like the size of the garden we just left.
Filled with different varieties of rare flowers, tea, and herbs.
I was welcomed with a nice smells of flowers.
The mixture of flowers colour gives these garden a beautiful interior that makes it looks like a Paradise.
Wow, I said aloud.
You’ve a great job with this arrangement.
Are you the one that did all this, I asked Gareth who is looking at me with a smile on his face,
As I express my amazement,
Well yes I did,
When you spent 200 years of your life being a gardener, you get to create magics with your hands.
200 years, I exclaimed.
And you look just like a 40 years old man,
If not for your grey hair, it won’t be obvious you’re old, I said.
He smiled and he strode pass me, Leading the way further into the garden.
And I followed closely behind him.
The herbs, flowers, teas are all arrangement in sections
With a placard noting their functions at the edge of each sections.
We started at the Strength improvement section,
He knows I would be more interested in knowing more strength improvement herbs, based on my request.
I saw the Dragon Breath herb, he didn’t bother to say anything about it, since I know them already.
He showed me some more herbs,
Some I don’t know at all,
And some I’ve read about in the herbs book, Madam Elena had gifted me.
I saw some other herbs that could help me enhance my transformation ability.
He me the Lunar Bloom, Wolf’s Claw Root, Feral fern
I see you are trying to get back your strength and transformation ability, these three herbs can also help you in achieving that, he said
And I nodded.
Sorry to pry my Luna, he said.
Why was your wolf weak, how did you lose your transformation ability, he asked.
My wolf was suppressed with an iron and a wolfsbane, I said.
My mother was a human and she died while giving birth to me.
So I was raised by my step mother who treated with a lot of cruelty.
Some days to my eighteen years birth,
She forced me to drink Wolfsbane portion, so my Wolf was very weak on the day of my birthday, that I only transformed for just a few seconds.
And then the second night of my birthday,
I was gifted a necklace with a pendant.
Unknown to me that the pendant is made of iron,
I saw the anger and pity in his face as I recount about my experience at my father’s pack.
I only get to found out I have been wearing an iron for the past seven years, two days to my mating ceremony with the help of my old aunty, I added.
He sighed as he listened to me.
Well I am here, to help you on your recovery journey, he said.
Alright thanks Gareth, I said.
We should head out, the evening is approaching, I said.
Thank you for showing me around, I said.
***
I was on my way back to the pack house when I heard the crowd cheering so loud,
The cheers is coming from the Training yard.
Is there a fighting competition going on.
I changed my pace, and went into the training yard.
As I entered, there is a really a fight going on.
And at the centre of the arena,
I sight Dimitri he was in a hitted fight with another huge wolf,
I wants to see him get beaten up, and there is Lyka already feeling empathy for his wolf for every punches that landed on him.
As the fight goes on, I could see the other wolf tried already,
Dimitri gave a last kick gruesomely and the Man fell and lay there without moving.
The crowd roared as he paces around with his shoulder up in the air.
“Two men down, I heard one of the crowd said.”
I gasped, two men…
Such a cruel bastard, I said in my head.
Shut up you should be happy for our mate, Lyka snapped at me.
Feeling all excited as she cheers in excitement in my head,
How can you forgive him so easily like that, I said
I’ve you forgotten all he did to me, in my past life.
How he had imprisoned me, tortured me, starved me just because I resisted to being his mate, I added.
Of course I didn’t forget,
We need him to recover and we also need him to get our revenge Kate, Lyka said.
And he is our mate now, you can’t be blinded your anger, and reject your mate, she added.
As Lyka is talking to me,
I saw another man step forward to challenge Dimitri,
I became excited and hoped he gets beaten up this time around.
As the man step further into the arena,
I saw his face and he was Louis, Dimitri’s Beta
I became more excited as I see he being challenged by someone who is also very strong.
The fight starts with Louis lunging at him but he dodged it,
Then he countered with a swift jab to Louis shoulder, Louis then retaliated with a brutal kick to his gut and he staggered back.
He regained his balance and launched a flurry of punches at Louis most of which he blocked, Louis charged at him, tackling him to the ground,
I felt excitement in my stomach as he fell hard to the floor. Louis’s fists rained down relentless on his face,
Lyka on the other hand was pacing in frustration in my head as she watch her mate get beaten up,
Suddenly he twisted and rolled over pinning Louis down, and raining punches to his face,
I could see Louis getting tired already as he continue to punch him, and then Louis threw up his hands in surrender. The crowd erupted, a wave of noise filled up the Training yard once more, he stood up leaving Louis lying on the floor.
I became so sad, and felt sorry for Louis
While Lyka on the other hand dance around in my head with excitement.
His gaze met my gaze, as I looked at him with disdain in my eyes,
Then I turned back, leaving the training yard.
Hey hey, where are you going
Won’t you let us congratulate our mate, Lyka said.
Shut up, I snapped at her.
And she went silent immediately.
