Chapter Seven

LUTHER'S POV

“How dare that girl without a good future, act that way towards Olivia,” I said, as I approached her room with the anger I was feeling, I was willing to punish her so hard she would learn to know her place. But on getting there I saw her in Marcus's arms. “What was going on?” I thought, as I stood there, I was feeling somehow. What was going on I thought as I felt my heart race a lot when I sighted them together. Why would I be feeling this way on seeing them that way? I left there immediately and went to the garden.

“Arielle!” I called out, “Go and get me, Blair, " I said sitting in the shade of the tallest tree in the garden, “okay sir.” She said as she left the place.

“What is going on with me? What is this stupid feeling that I can't explain, why do I feel jealous seeing her with Marcus? I hate her so why was I feeling this way? I couldn't explain it.

After a few minutes she was coming near me and my heart started beating fast but I had to stay composed. “Olivia reported what you did to her. Who do you think you are? You're a slave, your noble life has ended, you don't have a right, your life belongs to me and Olivia is the one who's going to be my Luna very soon, so why would you talk to her rudely to the extent of raising your hands to her? I can end your life and nothing will happen you're mine now, your body soul, and life all belong to me and I can do whatever I want with it, so just stay in your place and let this be the last time you will try to be like that.”

“But..” she said, “What are you trying to say? You don't deserve to talk, you should be happy. I'm letting you off the hook gently. Who do you think you are? I don't understand, you're trying to defend yourself? You being here is a risk because I don't know what curse you have in your life but I'm still giving you the privilege and you're like this? You ungrateful bitch. “ I said, and her face turned teary, I could feel her sadness without her uttering anything. “Just get out,” I said and she slowly walked away.

“Did I say too much?” I questioned myself, “Was I having a soft spot for her?” I thought to myself, "I rarely thought about my actions. I took them without consequences, but why am I feeling this way?” Everything I thought about seemed impossible so I shrugged it off.

BLAIR'S POV

“What kind of life am I living? Is death not more appropriate than this treatment I'm getting from Luther and his clan? We had an agreement but I don't know why it's hard for the goddess to forgive me, she wanted my life and now she can have it, I don't want to live anymore. I just want to die.” I thought to myself as I started crying again. Everything was tough for me and I was going to give up on being who I was.

I had always dreamt of a mate whom I would have a good life with, he would cherish love and care for me, but I lost the last hope of achieving that dream the day my wolf chose Alpha Luther and here I am today lost trying to find myself.

“Why are you crying again? I told you there's nothing in this world that's worth crying for. Life isn't hard, you just have to be resilient and hopeful, that everything will go right at the right time. There are things you shouldn't take to heart. Whatever they talk about you shouldn't be your main cause, you have your life, your cause, and your purpose in life. That's what you should know, and you should stop crying.” Marcus said,

“I know but, it's hard hearing them say all these things about me, is it my fault that the moon goddess is angry with me? Even if it is, will I continue to live with this guilt present in my heart? What do I do to let it go? Is this how my life would continue? I can't live this way, it's eating me up, and I'm dying inside.” I replied.

“Blair life isn't that way, we all get it wrong sometimes but your dad acted because he knew you were more precious than everything that they were saying, you have a purpose you're to serve not to die for a tradition that wasn't worth it. So tell me why you're at fault, if the moon's goddess is angry it should be her fault for allowing such a barbaric tradition. If she gave life, who are we to take it because of tradition? That's stupid. See, let all these go, and I will be here for you when you need someone. I would give you the support that I can afford and make sure no harm comes to you as long as I'm alive.” He said.

“Thank you for all these, but why exactly are you trying to protect me? I've been here and I have never seen you near the other maids comforting them or being who you are with me with them, why?” I asked, curiosity piqued.

“ It's because we're the same, that's why I know who you are and what you're going through and I'll do anything to make sure you are at your best again,” Marcus said.

“What do you mean by We're the same?” I asked, and he looked at me with a smile. “Do you really want to know?” he asked, and I nodded in affirmation. “It's a very long story that I rarely share except with those that knew when it all happened.”

“It all started when my father became the Alpha of the pack and the best fighter of the pack was to be with him as his heir.”
