Chapter 22

A war!? For me? I can't even imagine hitting a fly but a war?

"Jasen is desperate to get you from me. He announced a war and probably gaining more and more allies by feeding the other packs wrong information. Just like what he did with the council."

My shoulders sunk after that. He just doesn't give up does he?! He just needed to get other innocent wolfs through this! And the council! He is going way too far!

"B-but Eli! Lots of innocent wolfs can get hurt! What if-"

He shushed me by hugging me tightly. Almost comforting me. Almost but not quite.

"I know I know shhh. But I will do my best to inform other packs on what really is happening. Whether they join us to be our ally or fight us to be our enemy, its their choice, we can't do anything about it."

"I don't understand Eli. Why would he go this far just to have me? I'm not that special, and I'm sure that he must have felt that our mate bond is drifting away! Specially since I accepted you as my mate. He should of feel it!"

I run my fingers through my hair. Clearly frustrated by what's happening. I don't like to risk families getting broken just because I'm too selfish to seek for my own happiness.

"The dream"

"A dream? What dream are you talking about?"

"The dream I had the very day after he rejected you. The prophecy! The rejected will bring peace along with the destined. And will own the most powerful pack which will be considered Royals. One is weak-"

"-but two is strong" I joined him as if the words are permanently stuck to my head. He smiled as we both continued.

"But not all act is real. The real destined will have an eye like a sky."

"Y-you.. The destined, me The rejected, Royals. Not all act is real. It all made sense now! I remembered the dream! I had it too!"

I nearly squealed when I added the pieces together. Its like the first time that I learned math.

"Jasen suddenly accepted me because he thinks that he is the destined. He wants to have a powerful pack. He doesn't want me as a mate. He wants me for him to be the King!"

I explained to him which he nods. He seemed to know this fact already.

"Yes. And, prophecy or not. I will fight a war for you."

He stated with his determined face.

"But Eli! I can't risk families getting hurt and broken because of me! My selfish desire. Selfish happiness."

He tightened his hold on my shoulder.

"This isn't your selfish desire Lina! This also includes our pack and the future of the werewolf's! Royals are intended to rule and fight. And I will fight for you!"

"But!-... Is this why you've been distant this past few days?"

"Yeah, I can't let you know because I don't want you to worry or stress yourself over this thing."

I let out a big sigh. "Okay, I'll agree in one condition"

"What is it?"

"Let me help in the best way as possible."

He grinned at me.

"Deal"

*************

You know when I said help I was actually assuming something more challenging and helpful. Something that is more useful. But guess what?

I'm cooking for the warriors of our pack. That's the help.

I saw Eli walk through the kitchen, shirtless with sweat dropping in his v-line and reaching a cup of water before kissing my forehead.

"How's the cooking my strong Luna?"

I glared at him. Fighting the urge to throw the sizzling pan on his pretty face.

"You know I could've help better in other things and act like a Luna that I am right?"

I said putting my palms on my hips, attempting to raise an eyebrow but failed to do so. I can't, I just can't.

"I know, I just don't like you training for now and tiring yourself. But we will go somewhere tomorrow."

He answered with a grin. I can't help but jump at the news.

He is finally taking me out on more helpful mission!

"Really?! Where?"

"On our neighboring pack. Not quite a mile from here. We need to inform them."

"What can I help on that? Sit and be pretty?"

I pouted. That's what Luna on other packs always do.

"Well Lina my dear. You, need to be very convincing so we can convince the Alpha of the neighboring pack that Jasen is lying. And that he abused you and sorts. Just state the fact and be more convincing. Then off we go."

I chuckled at that. I don't think I'll be earning the Oscar awards soon.

"Okay okay! I think I can handle that. Are we going to be alone? Will Cee and Es go too?"

I became comfortable on the two warrior. Cee is badass, sometimes serious and sometimes cracking some jokes. She isn't the girly type but she is comfortable to be with. She always made sure that I'm alright and I am comfortable.

Es on the other hand is funny and witty. He is sometimes silent but he laughs when his sister cracked jokes. He reminds me of my brothers before the incident happened.

My brothers.. I miss them. I wonder if they will participate on the war. I mean, they should since they're warriors and the Alpha initiated it.

I just hope that they would not join. Their might be a possibility that Eli will fight them. And i don't want that to happen. I don't want to choose between Elize and my brothers.

A snap made me back from the reality.

"You okay? Don't you want that? I mean, is that uncomfortable job for you?" He asked concerned on me zoning out.

"Oh no no! I loved that. I just hope we can convince more packs till the date comes. I don't want other weres to be sacrificed by my problem."

"I hope too baby. I hope too."
