Meera's pov.
I grunted again at the sound of the door knocking, and walked closer to it to check who it's this time around.
Bang!. The door flew open pushing me hard and making me hit my head again the wall. Blood starts to seep out.
Harrick. I was dumbfounded. What do you mean by this?!.
I looked at Harrick in confusion as I brought my hand to feel the warm substance coming out of my head. I shrieked , panicking.
How dare you?!. I screamed and lunged at his throat as I brought out my sharp claws to hurt him too.
Step back werewolf!. He said.
Harrick was quick to dodge the attack and quickly pinned me against the wall and his eyes spewed fire. Of course. he's an Alpha. what was I expecting? I asked myself with sarcasm while bringing my hand to his shoulder gently.
Harrick, how did u become like this?. I cried while hitting him by the shoulder.
He just moved his eyes away in pure guilt and adjusted his palm around my neck.
You're hurting me. I tried to break free from his tight grip.
Stay away from Lydia. She's my life line. He said inches away from my face.
You, you scum. I loved you, sacrificed everything for you but, you still went behind my back to betray me. Why?. I muttered enough for just the both of us to hear.
Harrick released his tight grip on my neck and I slide to the ground slowly while clutching the hem of my dress to catch the lost breaths.
Harrick, you almost killed me. I said as a matter of fact.
I didn't, I even missed. That's the problem, your father is controlling the King Alpha. My kingdom is no longer safe and you dare dream to be safe?!. He complained before turning around to leave in anger.
Don't regret it. I warned as I was slowly losing my sense of consciousness.
I won't. I promised . He assured me .
I closed my eyes in despair. Was this the end?. No, I won't give up so easily. I reassured my self and the last thing I saw was my beloved mate shutting the door on my face .
He has left me.
I pulled out my phone and sent a message to Lucian's troop , telling them where I was before passing out completely.
Harrick's POV.
Any progress?. I asked my beta who was on the same mission with me since I married Beta Aaron's second daughter .
Not for now.You look stressed Harrick. He said to me with eyes full of obvious concern. He replied .
Seems I'm lacking rest. I answered not wanting to worry him.
Is this about Luna Meera?. He asked me while going over to the Biggest shelf in the room to pick up some books.
I Don't know, it seems she's not aware of her father's doing . The same bloods flows in them though. So, she isn't safe of my accusations. I said .
I Don't think so. He replied.
But, I do think so. I replied back while looking at him wearily.
That's right. Do you want to be with Lydia so badly?. Her father is just a witch and I don't think he would want to forfeit his clan for a mere werewolf?. Beta Anthony said trying to change the matter.
I want to be with her hundred percent badly. I love her . She has everything I want. I said to him but, it looks like I was assuring myself more.
So, you think that's love?. I think it's just obsession, or possession. He replied.
Anthony. I growled at his response.
Don't be fouled Harrick, a witch is not the best thing for you at the moment. He replied.
That's it. I think you should use the door now. I ordered.
Fine, I would leave but, don't use your ego in everything you do. I'm just watching out for you.
Enough!. I slammed my palm against the big marble table that's right before me in anger. How do you justify that? huh?. Do I also look weak before you? That werewolf is just as selfish as her father. She told me not to regret it right. What does that imply?... that she's probably cooking something new!..
Calm down Harrick!.
Don't give me that shitty thing. You shouldn't be telling me that!. Tell that to Meera. I mean, she's the one at fault. Are you in cahoots with her now?
What do you mean Harrick?. My Beta replied angrily.
What you just heard. I want peace and not problem. Your trust is wavering before me.
Harrick, are you doubting my years of devotion to you and your pack?. I sacrificed everything and many things.
Oh, that's right.You've done good now. You deserve a praise. I chuckled while clapping my hands sarcastically.
What do you need me to do this time around?. He asked me trying to hold back his anger.
Don't try to label me bad. I know you resent me for what happened five years ago...
Why would I label my bestfriend bad? Anthony asked.
Seems I was wrong. I said while walking towards my Beta in slow strides and smiled with one brow raised up.
Fine. I want the head of his front tier commander in war by tonight. That way, you would be proven right. I requested my Beta.
What if I don't do it?. He asked me.
Then you would be exiled from The Dark forest's pack. I turned my back around and looked into the distance.
Alright. He walked out of the office and slammed the door behind him.
I glared. Everything is not going as planned. I have started to doubt my best friend already. Is this my fate?.
I sighed in despair.
After I rested my head on the table for about three hours, I heard the sound of my pack members wailing and everywhere was filled with smoke.
What's happening? I rushed out to check what was going on and pulled a called to my commander, telling him to prepare the fighters of my pack for whatever is about to come.
Your order is my wish, Your Majesty. He replied and I quickly dropped the phone on the table.
I ran outside and changed into my wolf form as my wolf was already thirsty for blood.
Calm down Salmon!. I said while chuckling.
I'm not the patient one. let's get to real business. He roared and I started attacking the intruders.
They have a strange scent. One instant they are smelling like lavender and the other moment, they don't seem to have any smell. I was confused but, I had to push away distractive thoughts and win this fight.
I was about to take another rouge down when my beta called out to me , telling me to dodge an arrow but, it was too late. I closed my eyes while biting down on the rouge's neck at the same time awaiting my death when I heard a loud scowl. My beta has been injured.
I quickly released the dead rouge and ran to carry my beta on my back. I was quite satisfied because my lack seem to be winning this fight.
Something doesn't feel right though. I thought while placing Anthony of the bed for the royal physician to take a better look at him.
Don't you dare leave me Anthony. I said before storming out of the room to finish my uncompleted work.
