REX’S POV
Watching the elders plan for what I did not expect made me laugh. Seriously, they didn’t mean to just out of the blue want to act as if they helped me in getting my mate. I am sure they were home, maybe making love to their mates while I stayed in the middle of nowhere, fighting.
At least they didn’t really talk much about me not explaining what I didn’t want them to know about my mate at first. They just brush it aside even if I heard the rumor is about Rain being really cursed. I intend to just tell them after the whole thing, after the time we would make it official.
‘Since the announcement about the coronation would be made this evening, We suggest we send invitations to the Alpha’s in this region’.
‘That is already settled, even the sick Alpha Brook told us that he won’t be able to make it but Axon would’.
‘It’s just so shocking how his father decided to commit suicide, leaving his son broken’.
‘Since our Luna is safe, don’t you think she needs to walk around with security?’ One asked. He paused for a while and started at me but I didn’t mind ‘She has this small body and I am scared she might get snatched again.
The way they talk to each other, I wonder if they even remember that I am still at the same table with them.
How funny, but so annoying.
I know my mate is tiny but have they seen her wolf or seen her when angry?
Definitely not, and definitely they won’t get to see it anytime soon. Not when they expect her to be another shade and see a big black wolf.
Having a meeting in the hall was first tiring, if not for the fact that Hawk had decided to stand by me. He didn’t just stand beside me all the while, he took his seat beside me, next to an Alpha who looked like he would die soon.
Occasionally, we would exchange glances, not mind linking at all and I love that silence.
“Alpha?” Someone called.
I blinked once, then twice.
Honestly, I am in no good mood to answer any questions but I did reply anyway.
A grunt seems to be enough for the man as long as I stare at him. Our gaze locked for a while, the man not blinking as of we are having a freaking staring contest.
“On with it, Elder” I muttered lazily.
The urge to roll my eyes and cuss overwhelmed me but I didn’t let it happen. I just raised my brows as the elder looked at others as if asking for permission.
His lips spread into a nervous smile as he adjusted on his seat and exhaled.
“Do you want to talk about the part of my mate being cursed?” I helped him.
Seriously, I don’t know what came over me but I realized that I am very calm. So calm that I even have a smile on my face when I want to murder these elders in front of me. Their Luna had to be kidnapped and assaulted, she is pregnant and had to stay naked for days without food or water and all they want to ask about is a rumor.
I didn’t want to do it but I did anyway, I growled impatiently, waiting for the man to just talk or do something else but he didn’t.
“We are one, Elders” I forced myself to say calmly “I am your Alpha and as long as I have to lead you, people, I haven’t done something I shouldn’t have”.
Immediately, I see them a bit calm as the elder that had taken the risk smiled.
“We didn’t believe she is cursed but we were wondering why you didn’t let us know her before all this happened?”.
I see sense in what he just said.
Seriously, I should have told them the first day I brought her but I was blinded by pride. I was worried about her rejecting me, her not liking me, and thought about Olivia. I wanted her to know I am the male and she is supposed to be submissive.
Not just that, I wasn’t sure of what she was. You know, you can’t just open your people to risk if you know you won’t be in the position to help them.
Since the first time I saw her shift happen to be her first, I was a bit happy I experienced her first shift until a supposed omega wolf came out to be black instead of brown, ash, or gray, I don’t mind. I just knew she wasn’t supposed to be black and Brook’s character wasn’t helping.
He wanted her to stay, by all means, making me irritated if he was having sex with her in the first place not knowing that mother fucker knew what she was all these while and kept her to use her as a lab rat.
I inhaled and exhaled deeply, wondering if I can trust my elders enough to tell them that their Luna is a Lycan, the last of her child; for the main time of my baby does not survive.
I imagine Rain, my baby, and I, ruling together. I imagined watching our child grow and wonder what would happen to Rain and me.
Since she is a Lycan and made me immortal, growing old would become a challenge for us.
Maybe were would hand over the Park to our children when they come of age and go somewhere remote to have hot sex for the rest of our lives.
‘What are you doing, Rex’ Hawk mind linked me ‘You have been smiling to yourself’.
Should I be embarrassed? I think not.
I blinked, looked around to see they have all been waiting for me then I grinned. I am finding it difficult to remember the main question which made me stare at Hawk.
‘What is the Luna’ he blurted out in the mind link.
I wanted to smile at his sudden coldness and eager face but I swallowed it.
“The Luna?” I asked to be sure.
Getting off the chair I had been seating on, I fought the urge not to stretch because of something. Because of a hard senseless fellow down there that has a mind of its own.
‘You know we have to be gentle on her’ Mox reminded me ‘We have to fuck her the way she wants so that she would not remember anything again’.
Wtf!
Shoving his immoral thought off my mind, I grinned.
“I was scared to tell you all that I have a mate because I wasn’t sure of what she is” I started.
My gaze move to Hawk, smiling softly at her he lean forward, and I continued.
“I know I should have told you all, I should at least tell my beta” I looked at Hawk and grinned “But I could not stand the fact of not knowing what she is”.
Yep! That’s me, beating around the bush.
I strolled back to my seat but didn’t seat, instead, I placed both hands on the arm of the chair and rested. I didn’t let my entire weight relax because I won’t love to be a fool in front of the people that are looking up to me.
“By the time I know what she is, she git kidnapped” I continued with a flat expression on my face.
I wouldn’t like to let them know that I am surely going to tell them the biggest lie they would ever. I don’t want them not to trust me again, and therefore, make their Alpha look like a freak.
“You Luna is a rare type of wolf some people called the healer”.
My brows raised as I thought about anything more connecting to the healer type of werewolves.

“They heal people with their special medicine and can be created the deadliest poison to wipe out an entire Park”.
Pffffffff!
I see that is going well already. It seems to be working fine even for Hawk, who kept staring at me in disbelief.
“Your Luna is not cursed. She is just from a forgotten species of werewolf and I was worried that she would get kidnapped if anyone find out not knowing fate already something different in mind”.
It wasn’t that hard, was it?
To lie to 20 respected members of the park including my beta. I bet he would never forgive me if he knows the truth which he will definitely not know.
It was like old times when the children would gather around the fire and listen to the elders tell stories. Only that now, it’s the other way round, the elders are now the ones listening to the story.
Watching them all go, I wonder what a female Elder was thinking when she asked me to make her daughter work for Rain. Evil me, I told her that I would seek what Rain wanted because she already have Mira.
I pity her patients, pity how she would grow old and die only to have her request still on review because I would not tell Rain at all. Mira is fine, she had gone through a lot even if she literally went to find her mate.
For poor girls, sending them to their various parks was very hard, especially when they are carrying the villains’ babies. Even Nora, she just appears to come from nowhere, a werewolf, mateless and pregnant!
Not nice at all.
According to the elders, they would prepare the have my Lune announced. I also need to give a proper invitation to the Alpha king today and as much as I want to go, I am scared something might happen to my Luna.
Watching them leave completely, I wonder what might be in Hawks bead that he sat still. If he needs a talk about something, this would definitely not be a better time because I am frustrated here.
I need to know what to do to Olivia, I need to do to Nora, I need to protect my woman, I need to look out for my baby and hope he or she does not die, and myself… I hope I can still be a good Alpha.
I wish my father or mother is here with me, telling me what to do. Normally they should be strong for me and help me more but here I am, watching a depressed Beta stare blankly at my face.
How am I supposed to be strip g for all of them? For Rain, for the park, for my baby, how am I supposed to know if Axon would really get rid of Brook and Raven? I hate to feel that way but the fact that I can’t kill her is making me feel mad.
I just have to be patient till I get to go for her coronation too. That would be better even if it’s not what I expected.
I looked at Hawk again, checking if I am just let it go. I want to cry, to relieve myself because I am a fucking human!!!!!!!
“You don’t look good, Alpha” Hawk interrupted “I can help”.
Just want I need. Help.
Without hesitation, I walked toward the door without looking back.
“Come help me think about what I would do to Olivia,” I said.
