Chapter 53

“Zyair is sick..”

“You just found out?” That wasn’t the reply I was expecting from him but he was Creamy, he gets to say whatever he wants to and how he wants to.

“I didn’t know,” I replied touching the horse that I had ridden the other time.

“He told you to lead the wolves. Congratulations on that.”

Was he mocking me or what. I so much want to punch his clean face. Sometimes I wonder what his mate would look like. And how they would behave together.

“What’s the cause of it. Why is he refusing to see the physician?”

“Because he had seen him already.”

“Then why isn’t he telling me?”

“He doesn’t want you to be stressed about it.”

“But I’m already stressed about it.”

He looked at me and stopped brushing the horse.

“You don’t know, how clueless are you?”

Absolutely.

I wanted to reply to him when Mark came in. I saw surprised to see him. He came with some water. He smirked when he saw him. I hadn’t seen him for the longest time. Since we were separated from each other.

“Amaia, I mean Luna.” He bowed.

“Drop that.” I scolded as I ran shortly to where he was and pulled him into a hug.

He laughed and hugged me back.

I had missed him a lot.

“You’ve grown.” He complimented.

“..and you look more pretty.”

I elbowed him. He chuckled when we disengaged.

“When did they release you?” Mark was locked up in the dungeon I was. It took a lot of pressing and pushing from me to Zyair before he thought of letting him out. Sometimes he was just so annoying.

“Right before you claimed the position as Luna.”

I smiled.

“I always knew, you don’t deserve to be in that treehouse.”

“Stop it.” I laughed. I suddenly remembered Louis. He knew what I was thinking because the look on my face changed.

“Louis. I’m sure he’s fine. You know Louis won’t back down from a fight.”

I know, and it gives some kind of a feeling. That he would come back and do something.

“You might not know but Louis likes you a lot.” I didn’t know. I thought that was how friends should be.

“Isn’t that how friends should be?”

“Not that way.” He smiled.

“That’s why I said she’s clueless.” Creamy butted in. They shared a laugh. Making me feel stupid.

I glare at both of them.

He joins Creamy in bathing the horse. I was just there staring at them. Practically Being ignored. Creamy didn’t get to tell me what it was, leaving me in more suspense.

I sighed and decided to go back home, and meet my father maybe he would know something. I turned just to bump into Franco. Someone I wanted to meet as well.

And here is he.

“Luna..”

“Franco.”

He nods and made to pass me. I stopped him.

“Can we talk, please?”

“Sure.”

We walked away for a few miles. And settle down to talk.

“I wanted to ask you for a favor?”

“What favor?”

“There’s something, Louis. I want you to help me look for?”

“Louis?”

“Yes.”

“Why do you want to look for him.”

“Just wanna know if he’s fine. If he’s living well.”

“The Louis from the other time, he seems to be a strong one. He’s probably doing fine where he is.”

“Just help me please and let it be between us.”

“I have to hide it from the Alpha?”

“Him, especially.”

“Can I do that?”

“You’ve to.”

“I’ll try but I can’t guarantee you that.”

I smacked my lips together and looked away from him.

“Is the Alpha okay? He’s been coughing a lot.”

“He got a cold.” That was what I had to say, there hadn’t been any other excuse. Since he hadn’t seen the blood that comes out of it.

That got me thinking, that I could see the physician and ask him what was wrong, but what if he had already asked him not to tell me anything.

He was capable of that. Between creamy and Zyair I don’t know who was worse between them.

When I walked away from them, I headed to my room. I’d to find out what was the cause of his illness I was scared of finding the results. That was why I was reluctant in doing it. That something could be wrong and I would be a hundred percent involved in it.

That was what I was scared and maybe that was what he was scared of too.

Scared of saying to my face that I was the cause. That the reason he was sick was because of me.

I didn’t want to hear that.

Because it would hurt me. So I had come to think and directed my suspicion elsewhere other than me.

And this brought us to the present day, Zyair had all the wolves assembled up, late that evening. That he had to pass the message to all the wolves.

“Y’all must be wondering, what this meeting is all about. I’ll be quick about it. There’s a fight coming up against us which we need to get prepared for it..”

“We’ll fight with you Alpha.” The warriors of the salmon pack and everyone surrendered in submission to the Alpha With one knee on the ground.

I was amazed, how they’d submitted just like that without dragging the issue about what the fight was about or what they would do.

The limit in which they were able to do anything for their alpha was alluring.

“And this is my mate. Y’all knows her already I want y’all to accept her just the same way have accepted me. She would lead us. My mate, Amaia..”

I stepped forward and stood beside Zyair.

“Luna..” The wolves called and bow. I was standing on top of the towel and staring down at the thousands of wolves who were bowing at me.

This was me.

Amaia.

I stare at my side, he smiled at me and took my hands in his. But then, the feelings that I had thought I had gotten rid of came back again. Hurting me just as it did the other time.

What if it was because of me?
