Bab 10: Hemera
I waited till midnight for her with my right hand-man, Drake. At midnight, I went to the balcony immediately. I saw her there still in black and still with her mask on. She was looking at the moon, when she noticed me, she turned and looked at me. We both stared at each other for a while. I didn't know what to say.
"Alpha, if you don't mind can we find somewhere more private? I would like to speak to about something important."
"Sure." I said and inhaled. I led the way to my room. I sat at the end of the dining table in my room while Drake stood behind me. The girl in question stood on the other end.
"Alpha of Crescent moon is trying to cause a rebellion. This whole marriage is a way for him to take over his bride's pack. He has done this to so many other packs and taken a lot of wolves and need your help to stop. I humbly ask you to help me." she told me.
"And I can safely assume that you are one of the wolves he took."
She was quiet for a while. "Yes."
"So, you also want to find your pack?"
"Yes, I do."
I didn't say anything more. I was sure the silence was killing her. I knew that Eliot was a scum but taking kids, that was far off. I thought really hard and I wasn't sure if it was safe for me to help her. She clearly wants something more but she isn't telling me.
"Remove you mask." I ordered her after the long silence.
She took a deep breath and slowly reached for the back of her head and untied the mask and I was taken aback. She looked even better without the mask. I knew she was pretty but without the mask, she looks like the piece of the moon.
"What's your name?" I asked her.
"Hemera."
"Hemera" I repeated, "meaning day."
"And how old are you?"
"18."
I sighed. "Let's say what you are saying is true and I help you, what will I get in return?"
"What do you mean?"
"I do deserve something for help you." Informed her.
"Isn't this good enough, I am telling you how to prove all you have been saying for years about this pack. what more could you want?" she asked
So, she did do her research.
"Well, I want something else." I told her.
"And what could that me?" she asked me.
"You." I simply told her.
"Excuse me."
"I want you to be my mate."
"What? I don't understand."
"You want to find your pack and get revenge on Crescent moon and I need a mate. It is a win-win."
She looked at me speechless, like I was on opium or something. I knew she was in shock. It was out of the blue and unexpected so I decide to give her some time.
"I will be leaving tomorrow after the wedding so I hope to get your answer by then. You may leave now."
She left with a look of disbelief on her face. I looked at Drake. There was a bit of shock on his face. I felt he wanted to say something but he was holding back.
"If you have something to say something, just say it."
He took a deep breath. "I don't mean to question you alpha but are you really going to marry her? You don't even know her. wouldn't it endanger you and the pack?" he asked.
"Yes, I am."
"But why?"
"Because she is my mate."
Alpha, are you sure?"
Honestly, I am not. I don't even know why I asked her to marry me. I feel the connection but she doesn't. I know we are connected but I don't get why she doesn't.
"We will find out tomorrow when she gives an answer." I stood up and went to the window. The moon was full and I really wanted to see it.
"What if she refuses?" Drake asked.
I didn't really think of that, her rejecting, but for me, it is not an option.
"You may leave now Drake. I want to be alone."
"Yes alpha." he said and left.
I poured myself a glass of wine and stared at the moon, I recalled everything that just happened that night and it felt like a dream. I remembered her face and I couldn't help but smile. I just hope I am not wrong. I have never felt something like this before. I just hope she is the one.
