Chapter Five

BLAIR'S POV

Is the blood king really going to be my mate?” I thought as I shuddered in fear of his presence. But my wolf kept on making sounds and I was certain he was my mate. “Look at me,” he said, with an authoritative tone, and I slowly raised up my face to look at him, but I couldn't because he seemed too scary.

“I’ve heard of your accursed fate, the misfortune that goes with you wherever you went, you had a lot of people in your pack die because of your selfish interest, your father included and now Zoran is in it too.

You should have pleased the goddess of the moon but you didn’t want to be a sacrifice to make everything balanced and now the children and elderly of your pack are dead, and see how fragile you are. Just a useless Omega left chasing the shadows of getting to find a mate to save her pack, it’s disgraceful.”

Alpha Luther said, and every inch of his words reached me, I was truly at fault I should have done what I was supposed to do but I was too selfish and now everything was turning upside down for me, tears dropped down my eyes when my wolf awakened and the loud voice of “mate” that had been going on and on in my head was revealing and I could see we were fated to be mates.

“Why would I mate with a useless Omega like you? you have caused misfortune upon misfortunes on your pack and several other packs due to what you did and now you want to mate with me? I would never mate you, the moon goddess is trying to punish me but I wouldn’t take you for anything. You would always remain without a mate. Do you really think anyone would take you as his mate with the history you have? I don’t think so. You have been condemned and there’s nothing I can do about being your fated mate.” He said, and my world was left broken all my life.

I had thought about the day when I would meet my fated mate and how happy I would be with him after but now that he has rejected me what would I do? I have cost myself everything and I am bearing the consequences. I really wished I could turn back time so I would be able to correct the mistake I made.

“I came here based on your Beta’s request for help to merge with my pack, and it has been decided that you would be going with me to the Blood Moon pack as a slave. Beta Richard would be the new Alpha of your pack.” Alpha Luther said, with the decree.

My heartbeat raced and the pain went through my body “Beta Richard?” I asked, again. And he nodded to affirm what I had said. “Why? What have I really done to deserve this pain and awkward feeling?” I thought, as I looked at Beta Richard, who stayed at a distance away from me when it was being said, that he had betrayed me, he was the only father figure I had left in my life and he sold me out. I couldn’t blame him totally but my own ill luck.

“Now you would have to go with me and be my personal slave for the rest of your life while you allow me to salvage your pack from the looming danger your ill fate would bring to them.” He said, I froze where I stood trying to process why Beta Richard would betray me like that.

People would do anything for power but was it really because he wanted power or was it because he wanted to save the pack? I couldn’t fight him, he was stronger than me. My wolf groaned at me due to the way It was rejected, pain flowed through my skin as I was unable to process my thoughts on the most eventful day of my life.

“Can I please speak to him for a minute?” I asked, in a very low pleading tone.

“Yes, sure you can.” He said, as I walked slowly letting the wind and my legs carry me, I stood in front of Beta Richard who couldn’t look me dead in the eyes, and looked to the sides. “Why did you do it? Why did you sell me out?” I asked in a calming tone. But I needed an explanation from him to ascertain my doubts but he was looking away and couldn’t face me. “You betrayed me, you really betrayed me and I will come back for you when I’m strong enough,” I said, as I started walking away from him, I could feel his smile as I walked away, everything made him really happy and I knew I had no one but myself.

“I’m ready, let's go,” I said, to Alpha Luther as we started out the journey with immediate effect. I had left my home in search of clarity on my predicament but another stuck me once again, everything had fallen and my father would surely not be proud of me. I hate my fate, I hate my life.

We traveled by foot in our human form and in less than two days we were at the Bloody Moon pack’s castle. It was neat and elegant, it was better than our own mere building. I got into the building and got assigned a room, I went into the room and sat at a corner thinking about my life, about how sporadically my life had turned and changed since the sacrifice, within a short period of time I had lost everything.

It didn’t take long before streams of tears began to flow down my cheeks and my eyes burned from the ceaseless tears. “What could I do to change my fate?” I thought, but the moon’s goddess was having her revenge on me for not performing the ritual. “Why are you crying?” a soft voice said.
