No longer cares
BANE'S POV
Was she angry towards me?
I sat and waited for her response.
"I would be lying if I said that I'm not. You haven't exactly been the nicest, you know. I never expected to even have a mate so imagine how I felt when I realized that I'm mated to you." She finally spoke then I saw her eyes brim with tears. She truly meant the words. I didn't reply immediately, I let her continue.
"The moment I realised it that you my mate, I knew that my life was no longer useful. You one of the people that don't like me and I don't know why I was fated to you", She spoke bravely with tears no longer in her eyes.
I nodded my head in understanding and decided to ask another question. "So you must hate me." I said lowly more to myself than to her.
She heard me but she remained silently thinking about it
After her words, she told me earlier it was evident that she hated me but I wanted to hear it from her.
I wanted to know how badly she hated me.
"I don't know. At this point I don't care what you do anymore Bane. Whether you accept me as your mate or not doesn't matter to me anymore. I've lived my whole life shunned by everyone. You not accepting me hardly makes a difference." Her words were laced with truthfulness and hurt. It was true after all. She didn't care what I did anymore.
I noticed few hours ago. She didn't care whether I was around to force her eat or if I went. She even told me to go back and be with Carlo.
"I never said that I wasn't going to accept you."
That's when she looked at me and met my eyes.
"But you made me feel that way Bane. But like I said, it doesn't matter anymore. All I ask is if you reject me, do it quickly." She spoke while trying to put on a brave front but I could see it.
I ran a hand through my jet black hair and sighed exasperated. "Look, I'm not ever going to reject you." Istarted. What?"I'm not the ideal mate, that's true and I understand why you do hate." I paused once again before turning back to her.
"And honestly, I have no redeeming reason for my actions. I had just hated the fact that my mate was the sister of Aurora after everything that hsppened, I didn't hate you, I could never even if I tried, but I hated what you were, what you caused." I confessed.
I was sincere, and she also knew it that I didn't like her.
"I told myself that I was going to reject my mate if she isnt Aurora and then out of the blue she died. To make matters worse, then the moon goddess chose you to be my mate. Like what the hell did she plan for me", I murmured again.
She didn't reply immediately then I continued.
"The sad thing is, I still don't want the luna they chose for me", I added honestly. I didn't like Carlo at all.
"So what are you going to do about it?", She asked.
"I'm going to present you to the pack as my mate tomorrow." I said all of a sudden. I finally said that one thing that was puzzling me.
"What?!" She said, surprised.
"It was bound to happen soon. I can't keep hiding you away forever. And I'm almost 25. If by 25 I haven't found my mate yet, I would be forced to mate with Carlo according to Pack's rules." I spoke the real truth.
She pouted her lips totally showing that my words hurt her. "So you're only presenting me because your deadline is soon?" She said a bit annoyed.
My eyebrows furrowed together then I immediately shook his head. She misunderstood me. "No, it's not that. I was trying to buy more time." I stated but by the look on her face, it showed that I confused her more. "Buy time for what?", She asked.
"I wanted you to train a bit more because as soon as you'll be presented, Carlo will challenge you for the Luna's position. Ever since you were born this has never happened but our pack offers a chance for the strongest female warrior to become the Luna. It's never happened that the Alpha's mate lose in battles but that's because the previous Lunas were always of Alpha or Beta bloodline or that the appointed lua actually ends up to be the Alpha's mate. You, however..." I spoke honestly but later my voice trailed off. My next words were probably going to hurt her but I had to say them.
"Everyone in the pack knows you as a cursed wolf but regardless you will have to fight them", l added her mouth i'mmediately fall open.
She was probably shocked.
She was to fight against one or many of this pack's strongest warriors..
And I knew her
She had no experience in fighting. She only knew the basics in fighting, the ones she used to train with Aurora. Currently I didn't know that she has ever trained herself.
"But don't worry." I stated again and then my hand reached for her. This wasn't all my doing. It was because of the mate bond and the moment my hand gripped her hand, pink immediately painted her cheeks.
She just said few seconds ago that she was no longer interested in me but here she was becoming.
"How so?", She asked then tried to remove her hand from my grip but I did it faster and let her go.
To play it cool, I formed a fake smile on my face.
A smile.
Then it did more harm than good. She became more pink. I really affected her.
"Because you're my mate." I spoke but not wholeheartedly, it was all because of my wolf.
