Chapter 11

―β Yves―

I woke up in the morning without her at my side. I wanted to wake up in the morning with her on my side. That's what I always wanted since the first time I met her. However, everything are not easy as I thought. I dreamed of having my mate beside me, full of lovemaking, cuddling and lovey-dovey words but, Minerva is different and we are in a different situation.

'Minerva?' I scratch my eyes and adjust on the light from the window.

'What?' she appears from the bathroom, wearing only my shirt. Her hair is wet and she wring the towel around her wet long hair. I suddenly felt hot and damn, she's so curvy and sexy. Like an hourglass. 'Stop grinning!' she rolled her eyes and turn back from me.

'You are so sexy.'

'Yeah... just keep it in your mind.' She took her dress from the chair and her shoes. I creased my brows. Is she leaving me again?

'Where are you going?'

'To my room.' She said monotonously walking to the door.

'What about dinner tonight?'

'You need to go back to your pack town.' She opens it.

'I can always do something about it.'

'Your Alpha needs you.' For now, Mr. Gregg the former Alpha had taken the position temporarily. He was our Alpha and no need for too much complication in life.

'But I wanted to be with my mate. I can always ask Zoë to teleport me back.'

'No. I can't have dinner with you.' Then she goes out of the room. Why is she so cold? I wonder why. We are fine yesterday and early this morning.

I pack some of my stuff then I went to see Minerva. But they said that she is in the meeting with the representatives. I wanted to say 'see you and take care' but I don't have that much time left to stay in the castle. The Alpha wanted us to be back in the town.

It takes more than three hours to get back to the town because of the thick snow on the road. Good thing that the Blue Moon helps us with it by bringing a bulldozer with us. Terence seemed annoyed today. I wonder what happen to him. He didn't bring Dina with her. Are they in a fight?

'Tell me about it.' I speak.

'Goddamn! What the hell is wrong with women today?' he asked annoyed.

'I dunno. What happened, Rence?'

'Dina just cut me off... I mean, she was never been irritated with me. I was just asking her some things then she bursts into annoyance. She was so cold to me. She said that she's not going with me. I even begged her... ugh! Geez! She ignored me...'

'That hurts our ego. Minerva too... she's cold to me. I know that we are okay yesterday and early morning.'

'It seems that the Enchantresses had their mood season.' He guessed right. It makes sense. 'What about the Queen?'

'She's doing fine. Nathan is taking care of her mood swing.'

'Are they having their menstrual cycle at the same time?' I asked just wondering.

I shook my head and hissed. They are something.

We soon arrived in the New Moon Pack. We directly went to the pack house to the conference room.

They already set up an emergency meeting. The Alpha Gregg had said that there's a rogue that they capture early this morning. She is in the cell. She was unarmed and had bruises. She was not speaking. She remains silent and keeps on crying. From what Alpha Gregg said, I think this female rogue is unstable.

So, Terence and I checked her on the cell underground. She was in the dark corner. I adjust my eyes to see in the dark. Oddly, she smells familiar to me. I don't know where or when I met her. But she's indeed familiar. She wasn't a werewolf but I can feel that she was something that I know. And I cannot determine it.

'Can you please move forward?' I asked nicely. 'We are not going to hurt you.'

'No!' she screams. 'You are going to kill me.' Her voice started shaking.

'We are not going to kill you. We are just going to ask some questions. If your answers are valid, we might let you go.'

'I-I don't trust you...'

'Okay, Miss. I am Terence and this is Beta Yves. Do you know that you had stepped on our territory?'

'I don't know that it was your territory. I don't even know you people.'

'Okay, that was clear. Who are you?' I asked. 'We can help you. Just tell us who you are and what happened?'

She didn't speak for a while. She sniffles and slowly she moved closer. She stared at us. Then she got taken aback when she saw us. She panics and she moved back to the corner, hugging herself moving back and forth.

'N-no... this isn't happening...' she murmurs.

'What?' I only see her face a little. She was familiar with it. 'Tell me... what do you see?' I order her. Terence held my arm to stop me from what I am doing.

'You are dangerous...' she murmurs. 'Please... stay away...'

'Dangerous?' Terence asked looking at me. 'What do you mean?'

'H-he... killed his mate...' she broke her voice that makes my eyes widen.

'What?!' I exclaim. 'My mate is alive. How can you say that I killed her? Besides, I can't kill her.'

She shook her head. Is she somehow demented? She's making me anxious. I didn't kill my mate. Minerva is alive and why the hell would I do that. But from her expression, she isn't buffing at all.

'What is she talking about?' Terence murmurs to me.

'I don't have an idea.' Then we stopped when she chuckled bitterly.

'Right... you still don't have any idea.' She speaks.

'What do you mean?' I stepped forward. 'Who are you?'

This is getting crazier. I don't understand what she's talking about and she seemed to know me and my mate.
