Revenge on Alpha Damien

Chapter Nine- Mistake from the Goddess

There was a mistake somewhere, this had to be a trick or a joke. It was not possible, the moon goddess would not do this to me, she cannot pair me up with such a monster, to such a disgusting and despicable creature, how could she pair me up with the same person that was responsible for my parents death?

It suddenly felt so hard to breathe and the only thing I could do was to stand still, frozen as though time had suddenly stopped and I could not control my body. Tears threatened to drop from my eyes but I held myself back, it was difficult to do, I wanted to scream in anguish at the top of my lungs, to curse my very existence. This people don't know the truth. They would mock me if they did. How can I accept a mate that tore my family apart, that caused me to be broken, that made my brother Zane and I an orphan, I would be a disgrace, even my parents must be rolling in their graves this very moment. They expected me to get them revenge and not to be mates with the enemy, not to play house with the enemy.

Every thing felt like it was in slow motion as Damien made his way towards me, he was just as I remembered only his hair appeared to be lighter in color and he looked more mature than he did five years ago, but it was him, I was one hundred certain about it. It was his face that plagued my dreams every night. and my thoughts in the daytime. He was the reasons for all my nightmares and now he was physically here to cause me more nightmares but he not plague my dreams anymore, he will be my living nightmare.

Betty was smiling brightly beside me, she does not know the truth, I never told her the name of the Alpha that had killed my parents so of course she was cheering at this very moment while I felt like dying inside of me. She was not the only one cheering, others were cheering as well, Damien had practically claimed me by calling me his mate the moment he stepped into the halls.

Then I felt it, a brush of his fingers against my skin, it felt like a million fireworks had lit up in the sky, but I should not be feeling these things for this man. It felt like a sin. It was a sin truly.

I saw Mary staring at me with her eyes wide opened as she watched us. It looked like she wanted to cry and it made me want to cry as well. I know what she was thinking in her mind, I have betrayed our family. I have ruined our name indirectly, while my brother was smiling at me, he looked genuinely happy for me and that was because he did not know the truth. It broke my heart to see his face. He would hate me when he finds out the truth.

But it did not have to be like that, I could still kill him, I had to kill him here despite all the eyes that were on us, I know I will not get out of here alive but I have made my peace with it. Damien and I will leave this world together and we will carry our cursed bond with us as well.

I tried reaching for the dagger. I have not laced it in wolfsbane but if this dagger ends up right in his heart it will kill him either way and I was at an advantage here, he would not expect me to do that to him not even in a million life time.

My hand touches the dagger and I am about to pull it out when he says "You are so beautiful. The moon goddess has blessed me greatly. You will be a blessing to my pack" I stopped immediately and stared at him wide eyes. Did he just call me beautiful? Did he just call me a blessing from the moon goddess? A blessing to his pack? Does he not really remember who I was?. I wanted him to remember who I truly was. How can he look me in the eyes and not see the blood of the innocent people he had slaughtered right in my very eyes.

"What is your name?" He asked his voice so coarse that it sends a frenzy inside my body, to think I was getting affected by him, disgusts me. I should be repulsed by him and not drawn to him. It was in this very moment, I finally realized that the mate bond was a curse rather than a blessing. But I will be a curse to Alpha Damien, I will be his end.

"My name is Mia. Mia Peterson," I answered, intentionally adding my last name, that had to ring a bell to him, he has to recognize who I truly was now, whose daughter I belonged to, he should be raging soon but instead he said

"You have a beautiful name, Mia" his words knocked out all the air completely from my lungs. I have a beautiful name!. I have a beautiful name!. Was that all he had to say?. Why was he acting like he was a good person?. Why was he not acting like the monster that he truly was?. Or was he not Alpha Damien?. I do not think that I was wrong, it was his face, I was one hundred percent certain, I cannot make such a mistake.

"You are Alpha Damien?" I asked, I had to know if he was truly the one.

"Yes." He breathed and just like that it was like the dagger in my pocket had been pierced into my own chest. I was right. He was the one. He was the one that killed my parents.

"You know me?" He asked c*****g his head to the side, he had a confused expression on his face.

I do not respond instead I dashed out of the hall like my dress had been lit on fire and I continue running and running despite me hearing my name been called out and by now, the tears was falling freely from my eyes and into the air as I dashed through the forest. My heart was pounding aggressively against my chest and it was not only because of I was running, it was also because I felt angry and disappointed and destroyed. I felt ruined.

Why me?. Why would the moon goddess curse me this way?. Why would she give me my enemy as my mate?. Why will she condemn me to such a life?.

I fell when I got to my parents' headstones and began crying more aggressively beating my hand against my chest. I felt the intense urge to rip out my own heart from my chest. At this very moment I do not want to live, I wished greatly for the ground to open and swallow me whole.

"I don't want this!" I screamed as the tears fell easily from my face. " I am a bad daughter, I have brought shame to you, mother and father. You must be disappointed watching me right now. You must be rolling in there!" I cried uncontrollably. "I will fix this mother, father. I will not let this stop me. Maybe the moon goddess wanted me to punish him properly that was why she paired me up with him. She wanted him to be killed by his very own mate. Yes that it is, that has to be it, that was his fate. I promise you, I will gladly accept this fate I have been given,"
