Chapter 30
I turned sharply, and my eyes fell on Greg, who was staring at me with confused but passionate eyes.
I gawped at him not knowing what to say, I would never want him to find out who I am, but if he had heard my voice when I talked to Lucifer all this while, that means my cover has been blown up, and I'll have no other option than to kill him.
"You aren't replying to my question?. I heard you say you are going to slit her throat, you also mentioned that she can't stop you, that's what I heard immediately I woke up, I am concerned about you, you are my Luna, tell me who wants to stop you, I'll send the Royal guards to slit her throat for you" he cooed and held my hand gently looking into my eyes.
I smiled sheepishly and looked down at the ground, I couldn't help laughing inside me, I was so smart to wait until he marked me before fully taking over Kyle's body, he will never be able to break away from the charm, I'll just have to kill him after I achieve my desires.
"Alpha Greg, please don't disturb yourself, I can handle her myself..." I breathed, but he held my jaw and raised my gaze to his face.
"You are mine, and I'll be the one to do everything you want, tell me who she is please..." He growled.
"Lena...just that girl called Lena, if you love me, kill her!" I snorted, and he stared at me for some seconds before bursting into laughter,
"She would be dead already, Xander would kill her today in school, my son and I have made the arrangements, you don't need to disturb yourself at all..." He muttered and hugged me tightly.
"You are the best, thank you for loving me" I muffled with a smirk from behind.
"I'll do anything for you, even if she comes back alive today, I'll send her to the slave section where she would be tortured day and night!" He snorted.
"No, don't!...just kill her in front of everyone, let her be killed by hanging!" I huffed with a deep hatred towards her, Lena's presence seemed to threaten me in a strange way which I can't understand, all that my heart and soul craved was to have her head on a platter.
"Can we go down to the palace now, soon, the pack members are going to bring issues for us to solve, I'll love to have you beside me while I make decisions" he said amidst a grin, I chuckled and nodded?
********
Lena's POV.
My eyes fluttered open, and I found out I was still lying inside the garden, I had passed out from hitting my head on the hard root that sprouted from the ground after Xander had pushed me away.
I groaned heavily before sitting up slowly, my head ached so hard that I thought my skull would break, my eyes roamed around the garden and I saw the silver knife on the ground, it made my eyes brighten in a bit of happiness as all that happened recently began to flow into my head...
I found myself giggling so hard, I was so happy he didn't reject me, I had been so afraid of his rejection as I loved him so much and would feel the greatest pain if he breaks the bond between us, I guess he also seemed to care about the pain too, even when he hated me so much, he still won't reject me.
I exhaled heavily in relief before standing, I took three quick steps forward and got dizzy, my legs quivered, and I fell back to the ground, another rush of sharp pain covered my body and I could only groan sadly.
Not only that, but I don't know if to be happy Xander didn't reject me because now, I feel rejected even when he didn't say it, I feel hurt, not just from the pain I got from his push but the fact that he left me even when I passed out,
He didn't care to check on me, it was clear he hated the fact that I was his mate, but I was so happy to be his soulmate and wish he will treat me well, even after I saved him from that deadly trap, even when he found out I'm his mate, all these couldn't soften his heart towards me.
I picked my miserable self up from the ground and found my way out, I can't tell what would be my fate after today, I thought I was going to die, only to find out the man to kill me is my mate,
He didn't reject me but still warned me never to call him my mate, he doesn't care about me, not even my scent could get his heart to love me, how would I bear not coming close to him, the mate bond was going to make me more obsessed and clingy to him! I took several steps forward and was almost out of the garden when a great terror took over me causing my legs to go limp, my eyes widened in a rush of anxiety that made my heart twitch, my mind had just flashed to what Hutton and his father said to me this morning.
"It's either you kill Xander or he kills you, if you come back alive, Linda would be killed right in front of your eyes, and you would be taken back to the slave section where you would be subjected to intense t*****e every day...." Those words resounded in my head, making my legs move back in fear.
I shut my eyes and gulped in panic, my nightmare was coming to reality, Xander hadn't killed me once again even after I had walked into his secret garden, and he doesn't seem to be interested in killing me again, he might have decided to keep my life not knowing he wasn't doing me a favor this time, instead, my life is endangered the more.
My hand moved to the dagger in my pocket and hot tears rolled down my eyes.
Hutton ordered me to fight Xander if he didn't attack me for coming into his secret garden, that would make him kill me faster, no one would dare the ruthless Xander to a fight and stay alive to tell their story, I don't just know why Hutton and his father hate me so much,
"Elena, we have no choice but to fight Xander and get killed, I can't keep putting others to death with my miserable life, if Linda dies, I will never forgive myself and might commit suicide at the end" I sniffed sadly, feeling my heart grow heavy. "I felt something strange when you ran out of the class back then, you almost shifted into something I can't explain, the presence of that beast was felt here, but I couldn't see it, what could that be?" Elena, my wolf asked... "What do you think?" I asked tiredly as I dragged my feet forward.
"You might be a rare hybrid with great power like Xander, the aura of powers I felt here was so strong that I was transfixed in fear, but it vanished all of a sudden, and you ended up shifting into me" she pushed further, and I hissed at her stupid words, "Those powers are only there to taunt me, it never comes when I need it so much, I hate having those powers when I can't control it, I'm nothing but a weakling and I hate myself for that, it caused the death of my mother and Luna Lillian!.. If I am some rare hybrid, why can't I fight, why I'm I always weak!!!!" I cried softly, wiping the tears rolling down my cheeks with the back of my palm.
"But I really felt...."
"Just stop saying gibberish!...my parent also thought I'm powerful, Lillian also thought the same which took ended up taking their life as they strive to protect me" I sulked and yelped in pain which covered my heart, I just recalled the past, every scene of their death.
My mind flashed to the skull tattoo I saw on Kyle's arm and my heart thudded the more, if it was the demon king who wiped out my entire pack and family, how was I going to take revenge?
My life is just so complicated and sucks so badly, dying and meeting my parent in the other world was far better!
I swallowed the lump formed in my throat and brought out the dagger from my pocket, I was going to fight Xander, he should kill me and end it all.
"Are you really going to fight with our mate?" Elena asked.
"You still call him our mate?" I asked with a frown,
"I think he likes you a bit, he would have rejected us, he would have killed us long ago if he really hates us so much!" she muttered, making me roll my eyes.
"Stop being dumb, who would ever like me? Who would want to be my mate? I'm not just a weak useless wolf, but also a curse, my life does nothing but cause the death of others, Xander must hate me so deep and raw." I shrilled in exasperation, "Then why didn't he...."
"Just stop talking and get prepared for death, we just have today to live..." I sighed and glanced at the steel dagger which was glittering at the edge due to the sunshine, I could see my face reflect as I stared at it, I shut my eyes and took a deep breath, I felt no urge to fight Xander, even when I knew I was no match for him, I still feared stabbing him,
I couldn't get myself to slightly hurt him, I shoved the dagger back into my pocket and hot tears rolled down profusely as I thought of returning to the Blue Moon Pack alive, where I would turn to a slave and have Linda killed...
I will surely end it all today!!!
My walk turned into a run as I head to the class with a heavy heart, I was so happy to have my first shift today, I was so happy to emit my mating scent but all this happiness was wiped out in a twinkle of an eye,
Finally, I got to the class and gasped in fear before walking in, everyone turned their gaze at me including the teacher, my eyes roamed around, and it fell on Hutton who had a shocking look, he was scrutinizing me like I was a spirit...
"You aren't dead?...you came out alive again today?" I heard his deep growl of hatred inside my head, making me flinch, his eyes were full of fury as he made the mind-link,
"Hey, are you going to stand there like a statue?...go and have your seat before I lash you!" the teacher warned making me gulp, I looked around, and my eyes fell on Xander, my mate,
Our eyes met, and he rolled his eyes angrily, looking away.
"Are you deaf?" the teacher huffed, and I exhaled heavily, there were only two seats which was free for me, and that are Hutton and Xander's desk.
I yelped one more time before heading to where Xander was, everyone had their eyes widened in shock and confusion, it was clear no one had ever got close to his seat.
"Where are you heading to?" he growled deeply, but I shrugged and sat right beside him while he gaped.
"Are you mad?...or you badly want to die!!!" he seethed with his fists clenched.
"You can kill me if you wish, but wait until school is over!" I shrugged unconcernedly as I gazed at the teacher who was teaching, I could feel his deadly glare at me, but I never cared. I'm not afraid of dying anymore, I'm better dead than alive.
A few minutes later, the school bell rang for closure, and my heart skipped a beat at the thought of I and Xander fighting for real.
"Lena, you dared to come...."
"Stop talking and let's go out and fight each other to death!" I huffed and head out, my eyes flashed to Hutton and I could see him smile in satisfaction at my words.
Hot tears rolled down the more...
I am a disappointment to everyone who had died for me.
