“Oh, wow, that’s so great, Mother, I hope your wishes come true.”
“Thank you, my daughter.” She asked. “Have you seen my daughter?”
“Yes, I saw her and…” she paused when I shook my head to not say anything to her about what transpired between her and Oceana today.
Emily understood the message and shut up, and ended up changing the topic. “She’s really sweet.”
“I’m glad you met her and I hope you continue to get along with her, she is a very nice Alpha, don’t mind her tough attitude.”
“Yes, Mother, I can’t wait for her to teach me what I have to know, she’s so sweet and everything, it wouldn’t hurt to be friends with her.”
‘`Yes, and you are soon going to be part of the realms, you have to fulfill your duties and I would also love to meet your parents.’
“Alright, Mother.” She bowed before her, they had a few discussions here and there, I was so deep in my thoughts that I didn’t know when I finished my coffee.
My mother announced she was leaving and left the room, I stood up and was about to go out when Emily stopped me.
“Why did you not want me to tell her about Oceana?’
“She doesn’t have to know, talking about it will bring more concerns,” I uttered.
“But why, the queen is her mother, and yours as well, isn’t she? Are you concerned, she will be deeply worried about Oceana?
I wasn’t in the mood for this conversation, why was everyone talking about her today?
“Leave that discussion for another day.” I walked to the door and held the locks.
“Are you happy about this marriage, Gérard?”
I stopped and faced her with a blank expression. If only she had any idea of what I think in my head every day, how would she react?
“Why do you always ask unnecessary questions?”
She rolls her eyes. “Here we go again with this tough and dark attitude, what is going on, Gérard?”
I frowned. “What do you want from me, Emily?’
“You? I want your attention.” She revealed. “I feel like you are hiding something from me, since we came to this palace, you’ve been acting strange, avoiding me as if I’m invisible, I don’t want that from you, I want my Alpha close to me…”
“I don’t have time for all that you are requesting of me, I have other things to do and I’m in deep thoughts, don’t always make this about you.”
“Is that so?’ She was hurt by my words, I grabbed the handle of the door and walked out of there.
I needed to clear my head. If I have had stayed there any longer, I would have said some words I might end up regretting later and causing more issues.
I walked along the hallway when I saw Carmine talking on his phone and smiling like some love fool.
I walked past him when he quickly held my arm.
“Yeah, don’t worry about it.” He says on the phone. “I will call you later, be with your phone, alright, yeah, have a great day, beautiful.”
Shit, he’s so romantic when it comes to things like this.
He hung up on his phone and stared deeply at me.
“What the fuck is that look?’ I half grinned.
“You are fucking losing quite a weight, are you scared or filled with the anxiety of the full moon fast approaching.”
I sighed and rubbed my temples. “I am not…”
“I know you well more than yourself.”
I smiled. “Bastard.”
“I’m serious here.’ He chuckled then turned solemn. “Who is going to be with you?”
“Emily,” I replied.
“You are as stubborn as a bull, brother.” He spoke.
“Thanks, Carmine and I am not ready to risk it.”
“We’ve been through a lot together, are you perhaps scared of…”
“Can we stop talking about this?”
“I saw Oceana begging you, why don’t you think about this, Gérard, this can’t wait for long.”
“She’s a child, Carmine, don’t you get it, she doesn’t know what’s she saying, she will regret it as more time passes she will become a complete lady and wish…”
“But, she doesn’t want to grow, she has always loved you since when you were a kid, I just want you to make the right decision, this suffering has been going on for too long that it is time to set it free and you know what I mean by that. I can’t watch you suffer anymore, I’m tired of watching you be like this, how do you endure the pain.” He was filled with concern.
I was grateful, he had always being my side since I was born and I’m doing this for a good reason or else our asses will get burnt.
“I’m used to it,” I responded. He had always been there when times were hard, how I will cry every night, how my wolf will howl and cry out to my mate to bond and mark.
It is a terrible experience no one would want to face, Alphas were learned to face so much pain and bond with their mate immediately, while I’m one of the rarest Alphas who can hold out this long and keep sane.
Most of them would have gone insane, trying to protect and claim what the moon goddess had matched for them and you know what’s worse, they wouldn’t think about the consequences.
My case is a different one, because of my mate, I became a whore, who slept and fucked various kind of women every day.
A man whore, that’s who I
People will say, those were the golden old days, but for me, it was just a thing of pleasure to escape reality.
As soon as Oceana was beginning to grow, understand what the world was about.
What the realm was all about, I stopped going to the Pleasure House to have sex, I needed to set a good example for my mate to as not go out and hear shameful stuff about me, I couldn’t bear to see it.
“Are you sure, because this isn’t like you, you and I both know Emily wouldn’t be able to do anything, stop your tactics and get to the point?”
“Carmine, let me do this my way, I can’t stop this alone, it’s so hard to contain but I’ve waited this long and I can still wait.”
“Our parents are beginning to suspect, they are having their suspicions, concerning Oceana.”
“I know,” I admitted. “That’s why I need to carry out my plan as soon as possible,” I suggested.
He hit my shoulder and winked. “Let’s go beat up some rogue’s butt, I heard they are invading the realms secretly.”
I laughed. “Yeah, let’s go beat up some asses.”
We punched our fists, hugged our elbows and nodded with a smile as we both morphed into our werewolf form and sprinted as fast as possible to our destination and fought, shed blood all day long, which rid me of Oceana’s thoughts for a while.
