It has been three months now since all this happened and Crane and I have barely met eyes talk more of speaking. I didn't want to speak to him. There was nothing to say. He never loved me; I was a very big fool.
A party was held and all wolves around the states were coming; Alphas. Beta and she-wolves. The alpha of our pack was having his mating ritual with his mate Lydia so it was a big thing. I was cleaning the floor of the hall when someone poured water on the floor. I looked up and it was Lydia. I didn't even know what the alpha saw in her. She is so rude and cruel.
"You should clean that." She pointed that the floor. I just kept on cleaning. The best thing to do is to ignore her.
"You were dreaming of becoming a luna but you ended up back where you belong. You will always be the maid." She laughed and left. I wasn't really bothered. That is how she is. Always trying to get on my nerves. Then I used to get angry but now I don't feel anything.
I finished cleaning the hall alone and was going through the hall way when I heard some noise from the other room. I went to check if something broke or if something was missing instead, the door was a little open so I couldn't help but eavesdrop. I heard Crane's voice in inside.
"I don't understand what you are doing brother. You do understand that it is important for you to do this ritual." Crane said. It looks like he was arguing with the alpha.
"I know it is but it is also important that we take over that pack. We will be the most feared and powerful pack in the whole country." The alpha said.
"Eliot, if you do this Lydia will never forgive you. She will be your luna for Christ's sake." I heard Crane from inside.
"It doesn't matter. She will not be able to leave me as far as we are married." He said without concern.
"This is the same thing you wanted to do to Hemera. You took her away from her pack and wanted me to mate with her so that you can go back and take over her pack." He blurted out. I could hear anger in his voice.
I grasped. What did he just say? What did he mean by that?
"Who is there?" I heard alpha say. I covered my mouth and hid immediately. Someone opened the door and after sometime the got shut.
I tiptoed out if that place and ran as fast as I could to my room. What did he say? That they stole me. So, I am not an orphan? I didn't know how I was supposed to take this news. The thought of having a family out there made me happy and angry at the same time. Happy that I will finally have a family and I have people who will support me and not treat me like shit but I was angry at the fact that they were not here. Didn't they care to look for me? Or do they think I am dead. I was also angry at Crane and his brother. Why did they take me? Am I special? All I knew was that I wanted to know and I will do everything in my power to know that truth and put these people where they deserve. That I promised myself.
Karla walked into the room. she is my roommate. She looked at me concerned. I didn't allow her ask any question.
"Karla, I need your help." I told her.
"Okay…" she looked at me suspiciously, "What do you need?" she asked
"I need a dress and a mask. I will attend the party."
