Chapter 120

Miguel's pov

"Please Luna, I don't think you want anything bad to happen to those males right?" she asked with her face having both a mixture of fear and alarm.

"Why will anything happen to them? I need to know why they're all at a side Instead of helping others, and why they will run when they saw me?" I look at her in question.

" Oh about that" she nervously smiled " the Alphas made it clear they don't want any male who's closer to your age or theirs anywhere around you."

" Bastards! " I mutter beneath my breathe.

I should have known this is their handiwork when those males ran.

They're the only ones capable of making others afraid without being near them.

"Miguel,"  Mom dragged my ears, but as she did so the matron pushed her, and stood in front of me; shielding me from mother's view.

"You shouldn't treat the Luna that way," She bares her teeth in anger.

Mom's eyes where as wide as saucers " what in the seven levels of hell is happening here for?" she looked at the almost crunched Matron who looks ready to fight of mom tries anything funny.

" Mom" I tried to walk past the female, but she held me back, 

" don't go, she will hurt you. I have to keep you safe, " She says in a whisper to avoid mom overhearing our conversation.

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at her words. How can she protect me from my own mother? it's too damn funny.

"It's okay, she's my mom, she won't dare hurt me. You can ask the Alphas if you think am lying," I whisper back to her.

"Miguel what are you still doing with her, come here","mom  looked around at the workers who're protectively guarding the door to prevent her from fleeing should she try anything funny "this place doesn't look only odd, it looks too damn scary."

" They said you're safe with her," the woman told me after she must have mind linked with them, or either one of them.

"Mom let's go,"I  left the woman, and walked up to mother who was still looking at the door and those standing there.

She clutched my hand in hers when I got closer to her "stay close to me, and I will get us out of here,"  she says with a determined look in her face.

I smiled inwardly, but dare not make it prominent "I can ask my boyfriends to come get us. Since their car is here, I don't think they will be all that far from us," I said before trying to bring my phone out.

My reason for trying to bring my phone out isn't because am afraid of them, but because I want to check the location of my mates.

I have a hunch they're here, that's why I want to give them a call.

"Don't do that," mother  says in alarm "don't you think how odd this place is?" she widened her eyes in question.

" How odd?"

" There's no male around here, only females," she answers as if those words are capable of solving our problems.

" What's wrong?"

"This must be a sort of a female cult. They might be .

like those who sacrifice males for strength, that's the only explanation of why they're all over you," she whispers "don't you think it odd they're all acting all protective over you?"

Mom asked expecting a reply from me, and I gave her one by nodding to question " I see now mother, we need to leave."  before I break down in laughter here, and you blame it on females.

"What do you mean by that? do you think they will let us leave without harming us," she whispers in fright.

" Let's act like we're not afraid of them, that way they will do nothing to us," I smile.

" Okay" she swallows" you have a point there."

I took her hand, the one that wasn't carrying her handbag, and walked towards the door.

I didn't bother about asking her of the things she bought because that will spook her.

As I walked closer to them with a shaking mother behind me( funny how she takes me as a male when duty calls for danger, but if on normal day, she will refer to me as a girl), they parted, and one of them opened the door while they all bowed when we walked past them.

"We will be delighted to have your presence another day Luna,"  they smiled before the door closed behind us.

It was only when we're far from the door did mother release a calming breathe.

"Are you okay?" I look down at her in concern.

"I thought today was our last day on earth," she says with a look towards the door " I tell you, those females are really in a cult. Did you see how they all BOWED to you as of you're a king!"

" They did what we instructed them to do." Damien said as he and my other mates came close to us.

" What did you mean by your words?" mom looked at the three males besides me.

" We asked every eatery, supermarket, and mall in this town to serve and treat our boyfriend like the princess he is."

" Am not a princess," I glare at them " a male can never be a princess." 

" Oh sorry," Donald smiled "  we asked them to treat our boyfriend like the little cute prince he is," he playfully pinched my cheeks.

" You asked them to do that?" mom gives them a skeptical look.

" We're the owners of half this town, and what we say goes," Daniel said.

Mom nods " that will explain their overprotective behavior," she sighs "thank  God they're not the cultists I pegged them as."

" We're are you two going?" Donald asked mom.

" We're going home, am just too tired to cook today. We will buy the ingredients tomorrow when Miguel returns from school."

" Ma since you're going home, can we take Miguel out to dinner? we promise to return him before 10 tonight. "
