Chapter Eleven.
Esme’s point of view.
“ I am tired of this whole thing, why not let me go back home if I am such an inconvenience and you don’t trust me this much? I do not have the time for all of these games and I really do not want to be your prisoner nor do I want to be your plaything. I already apologized but since that is not enough for you let me go,”
I was on him the exact moment that the door closed and we were alone. My frustration just knew no bounds and I had finally reached my breaking point.
“ This has nothing to do with the other day. I am just trying to do things right with you. I rushed the mating and you are probably not taking me seriously at all. I am serious when I say that I am claiming you as mine and it is not only because of the heat , I am really drawn to you. I want you to be my chosen mate and I will announce it all tomorrow and state my claim in front of the whole pack. I will Introduce you to the pack as my Luna and you will finally have a place in the pack ,”
My head tilted to the right a bit as disbelief slowly settled into my system. What the hell does he mean by me ,Luna and chosen mate? I know for a fact this man is not just being a sexist , patriarchal ,self entitled , narcissistic prick who thinks he can own me and actually expects to be applauded for it.
“ Are you ok? No like seriously are you seriously hearing the words coming out of your mouth right now? What the hell makes you think I would actually want to be your Luna ? Who the hell gave you the right to make decisions for me, especially such huge decisions without you even talking to me about it. Are you for real right now or are you just messing with me ?”
I could tell that he was caught a bit off guard by me giving him a peace of my mind and raising my voice at him but I did not give a flying Fu”ks. This conversation has been pending for a very long time and unfortunately for him I have had the whole day to think over what I wanted to say to him.
“come on Esmeralda I am very sure that you feel the spark between us too. Do you really not feel it? Your wolf calls out to mine and that is a very special bond being formed. My pack needs a Luna and you would be the perfect one . I have tried staying away from you ,not talking to you , giving you space and not rushing you but that is not working for me so what better time than your eighteenth birthday to celebrate our union,”
The glass vase hit the wall with a bang , broke and the shards fell on the floor as Alpha Elvis managed to dodge my useless attempt at putting my anger Into action. Where is the magic reflex action when a girl Fu*Kin needs it! Not only was I upset with him but I was angry with myself too. I fell for it and for a few moments his charm fooled me into thinking maybe we could be an us.
Of course I felt the supposed spark between us but that was not enough to warrant rushing into this. It is not like I am his mate so the rush and need to mate me made no sense. I was no longer in heat and driving both our hormones out of balance so it had to be something other than lust driving him. What could he possibly want from me because if he just wanted some s*x he would have a lot of Willing volunteers that would bring less drama.
Being mated was a pretty big commitment; it is not like one can actually just change their mind when a lifetime bond ties them to another person. Something just did not make any sense about his “proposal” . It was a well known secret that the Alpha’s mate had passed away before they were of age and we all expected him to pick a chosen mate. What we did not count on was him actually picking me so I voices out all of my questions, reservations and issues I had considered giving him a chance and considering the whole thing but his response Just gave off so many red flags I would be stupid not see the warning and run.
“ You know the situation with me and my mate. Well…as for you it is not likely that you find your mate and you probably don’t even have one. You are a hybrid and barely even a werewolf so normal rules do not exactly apply to you. There is an undeniable spark between us we could even be second choice mates and nor know for sure because you have not shifted as of yet. You are a strong , beautiful and very capable woman …who better than you to rule my pack with,”
That was sweet, pulled at my heart strings and the i***t should have just kept it there but he didn’t. I stopped looking over the clothes gran sent and just looked over to his handsome face just trying to “read” him. He had a chance to keep it cute but he did not take it as he continued on talking.
“ Besides you are a very powerful witch whether you realize it or not. Your lineage must be full of strong men and women who then passed all those genes to you. My sister wouldn’t have been in such a state after looking Into your lineage If immense power did not run in your family. You are an omega now but once I make you my Luna and you give me some strong pups''
I focused all of my attention on the beautiful red Ruby on a simple necklace sent to me by gran and ran my fingers over it. I took in some deep breaths just trying to not focus on the i***t that dares to see me as nothing other than an arm candy , a thing to be owned ,used to show off , warm his bed and be his baby making machine all without my opinion being asked for on the matter .
“can you please give me some privacy to process all of this? I just want to take a nice long shower and finally change into my own clothes. Also can you please ask one of the maids to get me some chocolate brownies? I have been craving them all day,”
No further words were exchanged between the two of us as I just stood around waiting for him to leave and luckily for me ,the i***t took the bait .
I waited for a few seconds after the door closed and just when I was sure he was not going to urgently come back I sprung into action. Damn I love my grandmother…Very cunning woman. The red Ruby on the necklace was actually a magic power pocket. Most people, especially werewolves, did not know what it was and what it does, which is why Gran chose it for me.
I slowly crushed the ruby with my palm just absorbing all of the power stored in it. For some time in my life I could only do magic when I used a power pocket but I had to stop because I was becoming more and more dependent on them so grab sending it meant a lot.
I took some time to look out the window and observe what was going on in the ground beef just jumping. Out of everything else a floating spell was the easiest to do. My feet gracefully hit the ground the very moment I landed from jumping out a whole four stories.
One thought and one thought only flooded my mind when my feet hit the ground and fresh air hit my skin…run !
The plan was simple:I get home ,grab my gran and we run away together to a far off land away from this overbearing , power hungry man and toxic pack.
