Chapter 8 (Confusion)

EVIARAH

Mate? Soulmate? How can he say that I am his mate? Did he consult someone who can see the future?

Just after he left me alone in this room, a lot of thoughts flooded my mind that causes me to not grab a sleep that I supposed to have since I am expected to rest. I am here at this comfortable bed with eyes widely opened and I kept on staring the white colored ceiling. When I heard about what he said earlier, I know that it sounds downright ridiculous. How can he tell that I was his other half?

To complicate it more, I know that deep inside me, I believe him and his words. I have seen him switched from being a human to a humungous wolf. That idea is downright ridiculous too but I have witnessed it all. I wish that I was a fan of reading fantasy books before so that I can learn a thing or two but I was so busy thinking how to balance my studies and my finances. The struggle was real.

I shook my head and sat on the bed abruptly. I fisted some of my hair and I let a frustrated sigh. I closed my eyes a second then I decided to look around. These people here (inside the territory) are not normal so I am sure I will find some not so normal things in this room.

I know there is nothing out of ordinary in the bathroom so I hurriedly scanned the closet and the small cabinets but no use at all. I really wish I did find a spare book here to read but I found nothing amusing in this boring room. I slowly sat on one of the sofa seats and I decided to calm down a bit. I felt drained from all the events that happened but I just can’t find sleep being friendly with me.

I groaned in frustration and I marched towards the window. I slightly parted the curtains and I can see the moon, shining like silver in the dark starless sky. It releases a flare like rainbow around it. Eversince I can reemember, I am really attracted to the moon. There is this strong pull that I can’t resist on staring at its etherial beauty. It changes its color depending on how close it is to Earth. I found myself staring it for hours until I can feel like my eyelids are becoming heavier and thus I let my body have its rightful rest and I embraced the calming darkness.

I squinted my eyes as soon as I opened it. The sudden surge of sunlight from the window woke me up. I looked around and I remember that I am here in this room opposite to the Alpha’s room. My confusion is really spiking up and I won’t let this day pass without him tellling me everything. At least, that is what he can do to stop me from being a crazy from all this unfamiliarities.

I decided ti take a bath and I just wore a big grey shirt and green shorts that I grabbed here from the closet. I found a rubber band in the vanity table so I decided to make my hair into ponytail. I glanced at the mirror when I saw that the door slightly went ajar and then Alpha peeked inside. When he saw that I was awake already, he came inside and smiled at me.

I really think this man is overly friendly to me or he is just weird. I mean, does he need to smile when he see me? Do I look like a clown today. I took a second glance on the mirror and I really figured out why the hell is he smiling. Anyway, I just shrugged the thought away and focused on him. As much as I want to treat him indifferently, I still need to ask around but one thing is for sure, I don’t believe that I am his soulmate.

“I came here to let you know that its time for breakfast,” he said and I just nodded.

“Did you cook?” I asked, curious if he was the one who prepared the meal.

“No. Zevara cooked us breakfast.”

“Zevara? Is she not the female warrior? But I thought…”

“You confuse her of Aquil. Aquil is out in the field. Zevara is Hyden’s mate. They married three years ago.”

I nodded and I just followed him to the kitchen. I really thought that the one who cooks is that female warrior. When we were already near the kitchen, the strong smell of bacon and coffee entered my nostrils.

“Good morning Alpha. Good morning Luna. Breakfast is ready,” said Zevara who was busy flipping the bacon in the pan. I saw Hyden sitting with a mug on his hand, I bet coffee.

Zevara placed a plateful of bacon and ham on the table. She also placed another three mugs of coffee and a sliced loaf bread. She then sat next to Hyden so we are sitting in opposite directions and on my side sat the Alpha. We started eating and I know that I am supposed to be shy or something but surprisingly I feel none of those, even a bit. It is like, I feel relaxed by having them around. The breakfast went peaceful. Hyden and Alpha were talking something about business which I really don’t have any idea.

When the breakfast was over, Alpha talked to me for a bit saying he needs to train some of his men together with Hyden and thus I should stay here with Zevara. I let him since I am no one here, I mean, who am I to say no? Zevara started to clean up the table and I feel a bit conscious. She already cooked breakfast for us and then she proceed with cleaning. I guess I need to help her out a bit.

“Zevara right?” I asked her. She looked at me then nodded.

“You were the one who cooked the breakfast and now you are cleaning. I will wash the dishes.”

“Why would you do that Luna? I can do this just fine.” She placed the plates and other stuff on the sink.

“I insist. I am ashamed to be here and doing nothing.” I heard her chuckle a bit then she shook her head like she really finds me amusing. Again, I am confused again.

“You need not to be shy Luna. I’ll just do this. It’s my job.”

“Job? Dishwasher? Cook?”

“I was an Omega before I married Hyden. So basically, I was doing this my whole life. There is nothing wrong with this job. I am well accustomed to it.”

She started washing the dishes and I just sat on the same seat since she never let me touch anything in the sink.

“Uhmm… why do you always call me Luna? I mean, is that how you address and unknown female here in your territory? I have a name you know. I’m Eviarah Dennise Mulfy by the way.”

“What a nice name you got Luna.”

“Again? Why Luna?”

“Ah! You are the mate of the Alpha. His counterpart. I was told you are a human so I understand that you can’t understand the terms we are using here.” She looked at me then dried her hands using a towel. She walked towards me and held my hand and pulled me on the living room where she and I sat on the sofa.

“I am really confused since last night. I had a hard time sleeping because I was thinking of all those words,” I admitted. She smiled understandingly then she let go of my hand.

“Alpha, he is the strongest among us. Sort of the leader. You see, we weres have this heirarchy and Alpha is the highest.”

“Is his name Alpha?” I asked and my forehead creased. She just smiled then shook her head.

“We can never address him in his first name. We give high respect for those who are in higher position to us. Only the Luna can address him by his name. That rule has been enacted long before our ancestors time. The real name of our Alpha is Rust Raymond Alfaro.”

Hmm... his name is manly just like him. Wait, what are you thinking Eviarah! Get a grip of your thoughts woman!

“Luna, are you okay?” asked Zevara. I just nodded and smiled at her awkwardly. I don’t want her to think that I am talking to my inner self.

“So we all here are called pack members. A pack is a group of werewolves with one Alpha. It is like a counterpart of a community in the human society and there is some sort of Cheiftain or whatever you call your leader there. Then the Alpha has a mate. She is the Luna and here, you are our Luna. A sort of Queen that is the counterpart of the Alpha.”

“How did it happen? I mean, I was really bothered by that thought last night. How come I became your sort of Queen. I’m a nobody.”

“The moment you became the mate of the Alpha, you already claimed that title. A mate is some sort of a gift from the Goddess. It is our other half and we are committed to them. We have the hierarchy as follows: Alpha, Luna, Beta which is the second in command, Beta Female, Gamma obviously the third in command, Gamma Female, sometimes there is a Delta but here in this pack we don’t have one. The warriors are those who trained to fight and guard the pack. The last are the Omegas who are the common weres and comprises most of the population .”

“Then what is rogue? I heard it last night and one of them attacked me.”

“Rouges are harmful werewolves. They don’t have a pack. Some of them are exiled from the packs because of commiting crimes.”

“Sort of criminals?”

“Yes but more than that. They are notorious and cold blooded. They love to hurt and kills without remorse.”

At that thought, I shuddered. I just encountered one of thm last night. I was just lucky that Alpha came to rescue me or else I’m sure dead now without intact limbs and legs.
