The Unwanted Luna

Chapter Four

Klaus POV

I stare at the desk, Luca's voice echoes around me, it seems far, really far. My eyes are in the photo on the table.

I am staring at her beautiful face, at my best friend and my mate.

At my Theresa.

Luca shakes my shoulders “Are you listening to me?” Luca asks.

My eyes reluctantly leave the photo on the table and look at him. “What?”

“What do you mean what? What do we do to that intruder?. Should we kill her or what”

I let out a short-laugh that I don't actually mean. Sometimes Luca asks me questions that make me pause and ask if he has any brain left in his head.

“Kill her? Look, I would have killed her moments ago but I can’t she is my mate. My f*****g mate”

Luca raised an eyebrow “So you are going to accept her?”

I shrug “do you have a better suggestion?”

Luca swallowed hard.

I can feel tears burning at the back of my eyes. My heart feels so heavy.

Heavier than it has always been.

It is normal to bury a loved one one day.

But to lose both my mate and my mother the same day.

The pain is unbearable

And to top it all the moon goddess decides to be wicked by making that useless omega my mate.

I would have denied everything had I not felt the bond.

The way my hands burnt with every touch. I could scent her, it was faint but there.

That sweet, flowery scent was noted as Theresa's own.

“Look you can reject her and…”

“And then what?” I ask him “Have you forgotten what is at stake here? My crown. My birthright. Rejecting my fate's mate would mean rejecting the moon goddess's will. It would strip me of fifty percent of the people's consent and then there is Logan. My stepbrother who has everything, support, my dead father's love, and a mate, looks at me. I have none!” I scream at the top of my voice.

Luca takes a step back. “Calm down bro”

The door of my room burst open, and Stefan my mother’s uncle, bathed in, panting heavily, his hands curled into a fist. “Don't tell me you are going to mate the same person who killed your mother!”

I heaved a sigh and leaned backwards into my chair. This must have affected him as much as it affected me.

After all, he had lost his elder sister and only family.

“I don't have a choice”

He glared at me and rushed towards me, grabbing my collar tight, Luca tried to pull him off but his hold on me tightened. “You would be creating another war if you let this girl live. I would kill her myself, that is for sure!” He snaps

I laugh and look at him “She is my mate Stefan. You want to shout at someone? Do that to the so-called moon goddess your sister loved with all her heart and ask her to change my fate. If you can't, get the f**k out of me and stay the f**k away from that girl” I order, my voice dripping with anger.

He glares at me for a while, and I see him looking at my eyes. Fighting the urge to do something stupid and remembering who I am.

He lets go of me, shaking heavily. He paced around the room before stepping in front of me. “That girl would not live. She has no right to live but I can do something about it. So that you would get your crown and then kill her”

I etch an eyebrow “What would I do?” I ask.

“Make her fall for you Klaus. Be merciful until she believes that you are on her side and not the enemy side. She would get you the crown and then you would frame her for adultery which according to our law is punishment by death, this should happen three months after your coronation. What do you think?” He ask

I stare at him, at his small-sized fist compared tomine. He would normally be called the tall guy before me, but he looks so short.

I never liked Stefan. He is the real definition of a coward. Of someone who does not have a mind of his own.

I know him. By looking at him. I could place the knife in his hands and ask him to stab Katherine and he would not be able to.

He can't even kill a f*****g deer.

“You know whom I hate more than my mate right now?” I ask.

He shakes his head “No”

“You” I answer pointing at him, his lips open a little bit “When it was time to kill an animal the other day did you succeed. No. You were shivering. You waltz in here and throw out a stupid plan for me but can't do anything. Who was meant to guard my mother that day? You. Did you do anything? No. You were in some brother giving some miserable cunt and you stand here and tell me to kill my mate? Get out!” I order.

His hands curl into a fist, and he swallows hard “Remember that you have enemies Klaus. If I leave this room I would be with Dean and I would forget that you are my sister’s son”

I close my eyes, and an image of her f*****g blue eyes floods my head.

The bravery that was filled in her eyes even as she stared at me with her full pink lips.

Gosh! I would do anything to…. f**k! I snapped out.

She killed my mate

Mate Bond or not I would never touch her.

I look at Stefan “Get out. Woe to you to think that they would accept you when you have nothing to offer”

Stefan nods with a smile “Very well then” he bows slightly and walks away.

Immediately, he slams the door in my face, Luca. Turns to me “What the hell do you think you are doing Klaus. We don't need any more enemies now”

I shrug “We have always had more enemies. Lets not count a weakling among our enemies Klaus”

“ So what do we do with her. She is still there, at the center of the crowd. We need to move and move fast before Killian takes a step before us”

I sit up straight and look at him “Send her to my chambers, let them bathe her, get her dressed, and spray the whole scent on her. And then we need to think about how to make sure she is part of us”

“What are you going to do to her in your room?” He ask

I stand up and take the bag that contains Theresa’s head. I stroll towards the door and pause to look at him, a smirk on my face “I would mate her this night”

Before he can say another world I slam the door against him.

I make my way to Theresa's room. I suck in a deep breath before I enter.

The room has been untouched. The dead body is still there.

My eyes roam around the room. It still has a painting of us, just the same way she loved painting with her life.

On the table is the royal bra ket I had given her.

It still smells just like her. An altar is still left untouched

I want to believe that she would walk in and ask me to pray to the moon goddess and laugh at me when I tell her that her fate is enough.

And how I cannot wrap my head around the fact that I have to submit myself to some supernatural being.

No one is going to allow me to rest on their laps when the world becomes too cold.

I close the door and open Katherine's bag

I bring out her head and pull it back, tears roll down my eyes uncontrollably. I just want one glimpse of her.

Just one last time.

Immediately, it get together I broke down on the bed, she looked so peaceful even at death.

But Katherine and Cain..

What they did to her was unbearable

She has a deep cut on her cheeks and a stab just above her eyes

Fuck!

The fact that they did not allow her to even die a peaceful death burns my heart.

I take a seat beside me and hold her gold hands, I open my mouth to apologize

To say I am sorry. She begged me to stay with her that night but I walked away

I had duties to attend to. Wish is actually a lie, I was literally going to meet the architect to construct a new library for her as our wedding gift

Now no one would use that place

I placed a soft kiss on her hands “Sorry Theresa. I am so sorry I whisper.

No one consoles me. Just silence.

I caress her hair “I promise okay. I.oromsje to make them regret whatever they did. I would never betray you, Tessa. Katherine would suffer the consequences”

She does not reply to me

Not a word.

Not the usual “You have too much angst in you. Even my wolf can't help you”

“Say something Tessa”

Silence

“Please say something”

Still no silence

The realization dawn on me that she is gone. She would never come back.

I suck in a. Deep breath and clean my tears as I place a soft kiss on her head.

I cover her body wholly and walk to the door when I pause.

Something does not seem right.

Her pink finger was missing.

Someone cut her pink fingers and it was not in the bag

Or was it within Cain's bag because I want her buried well?

My eyes trace the footsteps on the floor that is covered with blood.

I kneel to take a look at it.

It has no scent.

Cain must have covered the scent so well to prevent me from knowing they were ever in the room.

What if someone else did it?

A little voice whispers

I shake my head.

No.

Only one person did it and would be punished for it.

And that is Katherine

The next one would be where I make Katherine breathe and drink pain.
