CHAPTER 6

ERIC’S POV

I watched as Chandra walked out of the house, into the field. I was about to follow behind her, but I was stopped by Sasha. Who just stood in front of me with a glare, crossing her arms over her chest.

“Have you forgotten?” Sasha asked, clearly annoyed.

“Forgot about what.” I replied bored. Sasha only looked offended by my answer and stormed off with a groan.

“Smooth.” My little sister mocked sarcastically, bumping my shoulder. “Hopefully you won’t forget my birthday too.”

I only rolled my eyes, ignoring her comment.

“Don’t you have pack pups to train?” I asked uninterested.

“Not when the Alpha King is here. Dad pushed my chores back, so we can assist the King more.” Polly replied, opening the fridge looking for snacks.

“Of course he’d need more assistance.” I replied rolling my eyes, annoyed by thought of the way he was looking at Chandra earlier.

‘Son, the King requested to speak to you in the office.’ My father mind linked. But I only rolled my eyes.

I then saw Chandra playing with pups, as they pulled at her arms. Begging for her attention.

‘I’m busy.’ I mind linked back, getting ready to walk over to her.

‘Now.’ My father replied sternly, causing me to groan out loud.

‘Fine.’ I replied, feeling disappointed that I couldn’t spend anytime with Chandra at all.

Walking up the stairs, and seeing my father nod his head at King Enzo, before patting my shoulder with proud smile and leaving the office.

Confused, I raised a brow at the closing door, then turned to face King Enzo. Who signalled me to take a seat.

“Eric, I’ve heard quiet a lot about you. Your father is very proud of you.” He spoke with such power, I only nodded taking a seat. Not really in the mood to be here right now.

But I couldn’t disobey the Alpha King. My nature wouldn’t allow it, no matter how much I wanted to.

“You’re the next Alpha of this pack, you must be excited to take on a big roll.”

I started to feel annoyed, I didn’t like small chit chat. He was beating around the bush. And it was making me anxious.

“King Enzo, all due respect. But I’m sure you didn’t ask for my presence just for small talk.” I replied. King Enzo chuckled at my response.

“I guess you’re right. I didn’t come to speak about your roll as Alpha at this pack. But instead of the roll of Luna.” This made me freeze in my seat. I peeked over at the King who only smirked at my reaction.

“You see, my mate passed away 3000 years ago. A beauty she was, but gone in a blink of an eye. Such a small amount of time we had. I have no mate right now, however lately I’ve been looking for someone to take over as the roll of my Luna.” Alpha Enzo explained, pouring whiskey into 2 glasses.

King Enzo handed one to me, analysing my response and reaction.

“But it’s hard to find someone who is strong, wise, and someone my people can rely on full heartedly.” King Enzo continued.

“I thought you’d have some suggestion for me, seeing you’ve found your Luna already.” I raised an eyebrow at his double meaning.

He knows.

King Enzo smirked once again, emptying his glass.

“I have only one reason for you being in the office room right now. And that’s for you to reject Chandra.” I gritted my teeth.

“What makes you think I’d do that.” I sneered at Enzo.

“Well either way, I will have her. She’s the perfect roll for my Queen. Besides, you’ve already claimed a mate.” I placed my cup of whiskey on the coffee table, standing up ready to go.

“Either you reject her, or she’ll reject you. I just find it less time wasting if you did it right away.” I halted and turned my head to he’s direction, where he sat on the edge of the desk smiling.

“What makes you think she’d reject me.” I smirked at him. But he only continued to smile at me.

Ok, so I guess she did try and reject me earlier. But that’s because she thinks I rather Sasha over her. Which is impossible.

“Aren’t you the bit curious as why your Luna is so moody lately?” The king smirked at my confused expression, patting my shoulder. He was getting ready to walk out the door before me.

“Congratulations Alpha Eric. I pray that you have a son for your heir for Night Owl pack.” He said smugly walking out the door and closing it behind him.

I felt my whole body freeze.

‘No, no, no!’

This couldn’t be, Sasha couldn’t be pregnant! She’s not even my real mate! This isn’t right! I had it all planned out, I was going to let everyone know Chandra was my real mate! I was going to do it before Sasha had the Luna ceremony, so it would’ve been Chandra’s instead!

I didn’t want Sasha. I didn’t want her child. I didn’t want any of this.

If only I was told I was promised Chandra if I had patience, I would’ve waited. I would’ve waited forever if I had to!

No.

CHANDRA’S POV

“This is amazing! We have to start preparations for the baby’s arrival!” Emily cheered happily. “Oh, Chandra! You wouldn’t mind helping attend to Sasha, would you?” I only froze in my seat. But nodded my head anyway.

‘A baby…’ I thought with sadness. Eric was going to be a father.

“Oh, thank you Chandra!” She smiled happily at me. “I need to go talk with Sasha and Eric, but I’ll find you later.” She smiled, rushing off with more of dance in her step.

I watched as King Enzo extended from the stairs, smiling warming at me as he went passed. Walking out into the field’s where all the other pack members were training.

I don’t know why, but I felt compelled to follow him. So, I did. I followed closed behind where he took he’s shirt off, passing it to one of he’s own warriors.

He went into a sparing position with one of the pack members.

He made eye contact with me smirked, but I only frowned.

‘I guess he wants to train with Night Owl pack.’ I thought. Maybe it’s because he wants to see how good their form is.

I tilted my head as he laid out a tall man in 2 seconds. The others gasped in amazement, some looking at him with admiration. A little too much admiring from the girls though.

I then walked into the pack of people. Binding myself in between the crowd, to make it look like I was suppose to be out here training as well.

“Anyone else want a turn.” The King smirked, causing some of the men to step back. But a few was dumb enough to actually want to take down the Alpha King in a sparing match.

“Everyone else, find partners between yourselves and start sparing.” The pack warrior who was in charge of the training ordered.

And everyone did, even I was pulled by someone to start sparing.

The tall muscular woman looked angered, maybe she didn’t have a good start to the morning? Who knows, but I did know she was going to take out on me in this match.

“You ready toe jams.” She mocked, which made me looked down to my feet with a frown.

‘Shoe jokes again?’ I thought irritated.

But as my focus was on my feet, the girl swung at me. Making me move to the side quickly so I wouldn’t be hit.

“Cheap move.” I said with a frown.

But the girl only looked amazed by my quickness, but that turned into a scowl very quickly as she went to swing at me again.

“Do you not have any honour in your fights?” I asked genuinely. Dodging all her moves. But she only got irritated.

“Just shut up and stay still pip squeak.”

I did as she wanted staying still, so when she went to throw another punch I leaped high enough to land on her shoulders. Turning my body so that she fell to the ground with a thud. I then began to choke her with my thighs wrapped around her neck, as she began to claw at my legs.

“Enough.” The pack warrior in charge spoke.

I let go, going to stand up, as the tall woman began to gasp for air.

“Amanda, how many times have I told you to learn to surrender when you lose. Your stubbornness will get you killed one day.” But Amanda only sneered at the man and walked away.

I went to go follow her, but was pulled back by Enzo.

“Let go.” I managed to say, but he only ignored my words.

“It’s best to leave her alone right now, Chandra.”

“She’s upset, before she even walked on this field. I need to see if she’s okay, I’m sure the match only angered her more.” I explained, but the King only smirked at my answer.

King Enzo let go of my wrist, as I smiled gratefully at him before running after Amanda.

I finally caught up to her, as she leaped into a wolf form. I guess she was going for a run.

“Amanda!” I called out, but she only ignored me, running through the trees away from sight.

I only smirked at her retreating wolf.

“I can run too.” I mumbled as I went to start running after her. I was going too fast that I started to leap through the tall trees, once I saw her wolf I went faster. So when I dropped from the trees, I was now in front of her.

“Hello Amanda.” I smiled, going to pet her wolf. But she only went to bite me.

I moved away swiftly, frowning at her.

“You need to calm down.” I spoke with strength. My eyes began to glow all of sudden, and surprisingly she listened to my command.

I felt confused by this, but I only frowned from someone’s uninvited presence.

“It’s not nice eavesdropping, Alpha.” I turned to face Eric who only scratch the back of his neck in embarrassment.

“How did you know it was me?” He asked. “And why are you out here this far in the forest, with Amanda?” He asked confused by my company.

I turned to face Amanda, nodding at her. Signalling for her to return back to the pack house.

“I’m sure you have more important business then following me.” I said with boredom.

“Chandra.” Eric called out, pulling at my wrists.

‘What is with people and grabbing my wrists.’ I thought irritated.

I then grabbed his wrist with my free hand, my hair glowing white as I felt power go through me.

Eric groaned in pain, trying to let go of my wrists, but I wouldn’t let him.

Maybe I was going to far, but he’s done nothing but caused me pain. His presence, his smell, his eyes that always fills Sasha. And now he was having her child.

“Stay away from me.” I scowled at him. Finally letting him go as he fell to his knees, clutching his wrists in pain.

“You have a family now, Eric. Stop giving you’re self false hopes for a reality that doesn’t exists between us.” I then walked away, finding my way back to the pack house.

I don’t know why, but I felt like crying at the thought of Eric not being mine.

‘He was never yours in the first place.’ A voice spoke in the back of my head.
