Chapter Five

-Nayla-

I've finally took a break from my workout well, I really was blowing off steam. I was sitting on top of a tree branch taking in the fresh air, enjoying the sunrays as they are going down, and my mate's handsome face appeared… Great I can't even close my eyes and have a moment of peace. I wish I can just leave, but I can't my mom still needs me. It's been almost 3 years since my father was killed, I miss him.

"Nayla, you are not supposed to be here. The Dungeons are no place for you. Please go back to Mama and take care of her when I am gone. Okay Lala?" My father pleads with me

"Dad, why (crying) why don't you escape? We can runaway and still be a family. Or why don't you kill the Alpha and you can replace –"I sob as my dad stops me.

"Nayla, don't talk like that and do not hold any grudges after I'm gone. I failed to protect our Luna and I will honor my punishment. I respect our Alpha that is why I am respecting his wishes. Baby girl when you get a mate you will know how much power they have over you. Alpha will die soon and soon will your mom, I need you to be strong and take care of her til that times comes. I hope you find a great mate in the future; I will not be there to keep him in line, so you are going to have to do it for me okay my love?" I swear to my father I will take care of Mom after he dies. I hug and kiss my father one last time as I start to sneak out he speaks with a quiver voice, "My Lala don't think because I'm gone you can slack on training young lady. After your Mother leaves please find your happiness, even if it isn't here. You find your own light and shine bright, Okay my Daughter?"

I nod and walk away.

When the sun sets I make my way back to my house. I sigh smelling who is waiting for me at the front door. I try to walk through the back door, he still comes through the front. "Nayla, can we talk please? Where have you've been all day?" Leelan asks while he is trying to hold me.

I back away and sneer, "Alpha Leelan Congratulation, I heard you found your mate yesterday…. Morning."

He puts his head down, "Nana, I'm going to reject her. I didn't know she was going to tell the whole town who she thinks she is. But last night I know who I want to be with … It's you Nana. I want you. The way we made love last night, I want that every night, Don't you? I know we aren't mates but I truly love you. Can you give us a chance?"

I shake my head and laugh quietly, "You have a blessed mate that wants you. She is in you house! In your Room Leelan!! She accepts you, why turn face for someone that isn't your fated mate? Why ask me to give you a chance when you haven't given your own mate one? How are you throwing away true love for a forced one? Alpha please leave my house and work it with our future Luna." I demanded.

He holds my hand so softly and kisses my palm. He opens the door to leave, "Na, I have loved you all my life. I will give you time but I know in my heart there is only room for you. I will be back to take you as my Luna, no one else will have that title as long as I am Alpha." -Slam- My door shuts
