“So, how’s your kid? Racheal right?” He asks out of the blue.
“She’s good. We named her Racheal May. She’s so sweet.” I say.
“By ‘we’ you mean…”
“Me and Leo. I gave her the name Racheal and Leo gave her the middle name May.” I say simply.
He smiles at me and nods.
“Who does she look like?” He asks.
He’s trying to squeeze the information out of me! Well, I guess it won’t hurt if he knows. But I will let him feel like he is getting it out of me without me knowing it. I love messing with people.
“She looks a lot like me except for her icy blue eyes. Other than that she looks just like me.” I say, acting like I took no thought into his question.
“Icy blue eyes? Like her father?” He asks suspiciously.
“Yeah, I’m pretty sure if she had Leo’s scent, no one could tell that she wasn’t his daughter.” I chuckle.
He stays silent for a little while then looks over to me.
“Mira? The father is William isn’t it?” He says with shock in his voice.
I give him a sky smile and look at him I stop walking and cross my arms over my chest.
“And it only took you two hints to get it right. I’m impressed.” I say.
“Mira ! Are you serious? His brother?” He shouts.
Well this is backfiring…
“Calm down! I guess I’ll have to give you more hints.” I mutter the last part.
“Hints?! What the heck are you talking about? You cheated on your mate! You betr-” I cut him off.
“When Leo went on a business trip and you had to watch me, why do you think I was so scared when you left, huh?! Put the stupid pieces together!” I yell back at him.
He thinks for a moment then his eyes suddenly change color. Oh crap he’s mad…
“He raped you?!” He growls.
I flinch at the word but nod my head nonetheless. He growls louder and his canines come out.
“When I get my hands on that-”
“Calm down! It’s Leo’s job for revenge and no one else’s! And Leo has chosen to forgive him.
And before you blow up again, you can not say anything about the alpha’s choice. You know the rules.” I lower my voice.
“Okay…. I’m calm.”
I nod my head and start walking. Once we reach the kitchen, all eyes turn to me. The males growl and the females hide behind them. The children look at me with fear in their eyes as they peak from behind their mothers.
Ouch…
The one that kidnapped and beat me steps forward. His eyes glow red as he snarls.
“I should’ve known the alpha had a plan to keep you alive!” He yells.
I growl at the disrespect in his voice. I notices him flinch but he doesn’t back down. I want to rip him apart but I can’t have anymore blood on my hands.
“Listen to me!” I growl.
Everyone grew silent at my words. I think I got their attention.
“I never killed anyone except for the rogues. I was pregnant and couldn’t shift at the time you said I killed people from this pack. It couldn’t have been me. And as for me being a Feramors, it’s true.” I hear gasps and murmurs go through the people.
“My father was a Feramors but not my mother. My mother was a regular werewolf just like you. I took after my mother, not my father. And the only time my Feramors side comes out is when I’m in danger for my life. Like when the rogues took me and were going to torture me. That was the first time. Now I can control it and even when it surfaces, I can hold it at bay.” I say confidentially.
“The alpha knew I wasn’t a threat and helped me. But if I was, I’m sure he would ve killed me himself because nothing is more important than this pack.” I say.
Whispers go through the crowd and an older man stepped forward.
“If I may ask, would you be Willing to wait until the whole pack has talked about this and voted?” He says, clearly scared of upsetting me.
“Of course.” I say.
A younger man steps up now, “only if she is locked up. I still don’t trust her. We could vote against it and she kill us all!”
All eyes turn to me and I reluctantly nod.
“Whatever makes you comfortable I will do.” I say softly.
The older man smiles and nods his head. He motions me to follow him and I do so. I calmly walk into the cell and sit down as they lock the door.
“I’m sorry Luna.” The old man says.
I give him a reassuring smile then motion for him to go. He smiles back and leaves the prison.
What have I gotten myself into?
