章 7: RED MOON PACK
"Nothing." Hope shook her head and sat down across from Daniel. She kept her head hung low.
Seeing how unusual his sister acted, Daniel stood up and walked over to sit next to her. "Tell me, what is bothering you?" he placed his hand on her shoulder.
Daniel was right, there was something unusual about Hope because next thing she did was crying until her whole body was trembling.
"Hope, what happened?" He pulled her closer to him and let her cried against his chest. "Is there someone bothering you?" Daniel would give them a lesson or two for making his precious little sister cried like this.
However, Hope shook her head. She was sobbing for a while, letting out her anger and helplessness and once her chest was no longer felt very tight and the emotions slightly subsided, she was ready to talk.
"There is this man named Lucien, whose Grandpa told me that I am in arranged marriage with him." Hope tried to explain between her sobs, while Daniel listened to her attentively.
In the end, Hope ended up telling him everything that happened at the school and also at the forest near at her school, it was very embarrassing for her to tell him about it, though she didn't go to a great detail about what transpired the previous night.
At first, Hope thought Daniel would be enraged upon hearing some random guy had taken advantage of his little sister, after all, he was very protective of her, but to her surprised, Daniel was rather level headed when he heard it.
"He told me that he will impregnant me." Hope blushed when she said that. The fact that she had to say this with her brother was so embarrassing.
Yet, when Hope waited for Daniel's anger, it didn't happen, which prompted her to lift her head and looked at her brother.
"Daniel?" Hope called his name, as he was in deep thought.
'It was so strange for him to act like this. Does he know something?'
"It means, you are alpha Lucien's mate?" Daniel blurted out, he then stretched out his hand and pulled down the collar of her shirt all of sudden.
Both of them grimaced; Daniel was from the hickeys that covered her skin and also the distinguished red mark on her skin, which was no other than the alpha's mark and for Hope, she felt abashed when her brother saw her red marks.
"What are you doing?!" Hope immediately swatted away his hand and covered her neck.
"You are indeed alpha Lucien's mate," Daniel said in contemplative tone. "It couldn't help… you really need to get pregnant with his child."
"What?!" Hope didn't expect this kind of reaction from her brother. She widened her eyes in shock. "Are you kidding me? Why are you like this?"
Daniel sighed deeply and faced Hope. "Listen, there is a secret that you should know and this will help you to understand this situation."
'What is it now? Not Daniel also…' Hope whimpered. She thought her brother would be in her side.
"There is this another realm. The realm of shifter." He started. He grabbed Hope's hand, offering a comfort because he was about to tell her about a shocking information that she should learn.
Daniel told her there was another realm of shifter, which the leader of them was called as the alpha and Alpha Lucien could be said as the strongest and the cruelest among them.
"It is rare for an alpha to have human as their mate, but it's not unheard of." Daniel gave some thought about it and silence ensued.
"In that case, he can find another woman among his pack, right?" She felt her head was spinning. This was not something that she expected. A werewolf? A pack? An alpha? It sounded so strange in her ears.
"No." Daniel shook his head regretfully. "Unfortunately, it's only their respective mate that could bear the child of the shifter and for the alpha, an heir is a must. It's a mandatory for their reign."
Hope gulped down so hard. 'No way. is there no way for me to escape from this?'
Daniel then shifted his attention toward her neck. "You are his mate and you have been marked by him. There is no way for you to escape from this fate. The mate bond has created."
Hope felt her head throbbed painfully, she was dizzy. "Is there a way for me to give up this bond?"
Once again, Daniel shook his head. "This matter is way more serious than you think and you can't reject him because you have no wolf to begin with."
'What should I do? Is there really no way for me to be freed from his clutch?'
Hope couldn't help but remembered how he took her roughly and she was certain he would do it again to make sure she was pregnant.
Heat burned inside her and the sore pain in her lower region reminded her what would come to her.
And right at that time, they were startled by the ringing of the phone in the living room.
"I will take it." Daniel thought Hope needed some time to gather her mind upon the information that she just learned.
However, it took only two minutes for Daniel to return, his expression ashen.
"Who was calling?" Hope had a bad feeling when Daniel stared at her like that.
"It was from the head master of your school."
What? What the head master wanted from her? Did someone witness what transpired the other night? After all it was still in school's territory.
Chill ran down Hope's spine.
###
Hope felt her head throbbed painful because of all that transpired.
'I don't believe this. In less than a day my life has turned upside down.' Hope held her head, as she stared at the scenery through the car window, while Daniel was driving beside her.
"Do you have any idea why you are being called by the headmaster?" Daniel glanced at Hope, who looked so dispirited. This bothered him to see his little sister like this.
