Tame The Monster

9

Walking back to the tunnels we used to get to the battle front, I couldn’t resist myself from asking

“How did you know he was going to be there?”

As I found it weird that they both met each other without stress as Rogers was already waiting for him and the end of the tunnel.

“It’s an Alpha thing… When an Alpha steps into another pack's territory both Alpha recognize who leads the territory as their instinct locks to the greatest threat there”.

That kind of makes sense as why both of them knew the other's location. My mind still drifting to his upper body, question budding up at the tip of my tongue. Reining in my questions we came back to the throne room, myria still knocked out, a table placed with my favorite dishes and despite my frantic control I still found myself salivating at the sight of food. I have never been this hungry in my entire life.

“Eren hope there were no losses occurred?” Kayden asked the man I guessed to be his Beta, so his name was Eren.

Faint stains of blood on his clothes and hair it was plain obvious the Beta didn’t even have to morph to handle the threats as his side. Unlike their Alpha trying to show off.

“Three losses occurred as they were taken down due to their carelessness “

Eren reported in a low voice as Kayden's aura spiraled out of control. So he does care about his pack? Wasn’t he the same man who literally be headed one of his own an hour ago? My head threatened to explode at how twisted and weird this man was.

“You can have your meal, Eren come with me” Kayden voiced out as he made his way towards the door.

“How do I trust this food isn’t laced with poison or something to make me your obedient servant “ I asked with my cautiousness and hunger clashing within me. A fierce battle which hunger was already getting the upper hand.

“That’s your decision to make. Die of hunger or…” Leaving me hanging at his unfinished words he departed the room with his beta, leaving just me and the unconscious Myria.

Gazing at my favorite dishes, my hunger finally won as I sat down on the chair placed behind table as I wolfed down the meal at a fast pace.I'll be damned if I let him see me eat on this unlikely manner. Few minutes went in a rush as the table became scanty as I had consumed half of the meals made for me. Body now properly running in full motion due to proper energy source I felt a gaze at me, looking backwards I saw Myria looking at me like she had seen a ghost.

Did she watch me wolf down the food? For the umpteen time today I could literally feel shame consuming me.

“Huh…Myria when did you wake up” my voice came out shakily still embarrassed at my current predicament.

“I never thought I’ll ever see you eat in such manner “myria replied with a soft smile as we both gazed at each other, laughter contagious as we both laughed together.

“Am so happy that you are still alive Myria..” I said as I dived into her, hugging her with every bit of energy on me as I cried on her shoulders.

“After you fainted back at the forest he ordered for us to be killed, don’t know what made him change his mind he asked them to keep me alive, I have been living underground with our fellow sisters wondering how you were doing “myria replied me as she patted my back softly. Relief filled me at the thought of her making it here alive.

“I couldn’t save mother…I truly watched her die…am so useless Myria “

My voice barely audible, but I knew she heard me as I wailed harder, pouring all my bottled emotions out.

“It’s not your fault Evelyn, it’s our fault for being weak and not able to properly our family. Weakness is the greatest sim in our world” Myria said back to me as she consoled me, my heartbreaking slightly as I heard her words. Weakness.

So our sin was being weak? Maybe if I put all my utmost focus into progressing my magic…maybe we won’t have been in this mess. Maybe if Guinevere didn’t betray us… I would still be living in my little castle with people who loved just as much as I loved them.

If we weren’t weak, Mother would probably still be alive, nagging at me for reading through her diary or yelling at me for not coming home on time.

Kayden's words echoed In my head about how strength spoke louder than anything on our world. Years of happiness crushed to a brim all because of our weakness. My voice breaking as I spoke with spite written all over my voice;

“Guinevere betrayed us…she sold us out. Why would she do that Myria? Why would she abandon us all to such a fate? When did it all go wrong?”

Myria was silent for a long time as she thought of my revelations and questions. After what felt like a long time she replied as she continued to pat my back softly;

“Love can make you do things that don’t make sense Evelyn”.

Love?

“You don’t for once think she betrayed us for another reason, but you think it’s because of LOVE!”

My voice came out more sharply than intended, how stupid of her to betray her own family for the sake of love. An unrequited love at that, as I refused to believe the wolf was also madly in love with her to the extent he would betray his own pack for her. Maybe she betrayed us because she wanted power or something else. Yes that made more sense than that bulshit.

“When someone is in love they only think of their partner as the focal point. They don’t think about those who would be affected negatively by their actions” Patting my head slightly i could feel myself reaching a level of calm I only felt before the chaos ensued, my eyes going droopy as sleep threatened to consume me;

“I will make everything right again Myria, I promise…” I barely finish my words as I finally traveled to dreamland. My pains and torment forgotten temporarily as my body went to slumber.
