The Alpha's new Obsession

CHAPTER 11

ASHINA

“Zup?” I am smiling at Jenella, who just got home. It was already eleven in the evening.

After the sham blood moon appearance that waited by the two packs, and Garth left me after covering me with his jacket, I went home straight with Dad, who kept telling me to stop doing antics. My father thought that coming to the ceremony in my wolf form and transforming to a naked one was just one of my ploys to upset Garth.

I didn't say much to Daddy to justify myself. Explaining can make me look more like a liar and Jenella as helpless to sympathise with.

“Oh, Ash…” Jenella started acting sad now and got near me to hold my hands. If I hadn't known better and not seen what she did, I would have been convinced by her drama like before.

“Why?” I tried to sound anxious. Fooling me is her game, but conning her that I am still the dupe she knows is my defense.

“Charles had been so depressed. He learned that you went to Alpha Garth and decided to choose Alpha Garth over him. He was so pitiful. Choosing Alpha Garth might break your bond with Charles, your true mate. And now…now he is sick.”

I tried my best to not raise my left eyebrow. Really? Is Charles sick? Sick or tired of having rough s*x with her?

I wanna smirk, but I need to act worried now. I raised my hand to my mouth to act like I was unhappy with the news I heard, then placed my hand to my breast like I regretted what I did that caused Charles to be unwell.

“That's sad to know, Jenella…” I sounded concerned about what I learned from her about Charles. I walked to the sofa and sat there.

“Yes. I took care of Charles, so I'm late…” Jenella followed me to the sofa and sat beside me. “I talked to him and convinced him to eat and not to listen to the gossip.”

“That's so thoughtful of you, Jenella.”

“Of course, everything for you and Charles…I am willing to help.”

I smiled mischievously upon hearing that.

Maybe my cousin means she could do everything for Charles and her favour.

“Can you see Charles tomorrow?” Jenella asked me with pleading eyes for Charles.

“He desires to see you. He wants to talk to you. If you had only seen how devastated Charles is, you would understand why I worry like this.”

I stared at Jenella. I wanna say that I had seen the two of them deliriously moaning and groaning until they both dropped to the floor with all the nasty body juices they produced by f*****g. And yes, if that was the ‘devastated’ thing, she meant. It is. But more like that, I am devastated, trying my best not to puke while watching them.

“Charles is asking me a favour to tell you how he was dying to see you, Ash.”

Dying to see me? I hope he really dies.

I sighed, for I needed to put on some drama now.

“It is troubling me that I caused Charles sorrow because my mind was messed up earlier today,” I stated while holding the side of my forehead, pretending I wasn't even proud of what I did when I went to Garth.

“And yes…you are right, Jenella. I should attend to Charles' conditions, especially since he is now ill.”

“Thanks, Goddess!” Jenella exclaimed happily and held my hands again. “I never lose hope that you will get to your senses!” Jenella's wicked smile appeared on her lips before she hid it from me by standing, then walked to the single couch and sat there.

“Ya, you are right,” I added to her confidence that she is so good at deceiving me.

“I am, Ash.”

“Yeah…After the blood moon did not appear, I realized that even the moon goddess was telling me that it was not really Garth I should choose as my destined mate. She was even prolonging the ceremony for me to concede my mistake.”

“See?” Jenella's satisfaction cannot be denied, but I let her believe she still won my favor. “I believe in fate, and I am confident that once you talk to Charles tomorrow, you will realize that no one could break your bond anymore. You will realize that the sweet scent you had smelled with Alpha Garth was nothing compared to the strong mate call you will feel with Charles.”

I smiled only. Jenella is persuasively tricking me, and yes…yes, for the scent. I heard it all that they would use some spell or potion for me to believe that Charles was my true mate.

Because of Jenella's charade now, I recall the moment from my previous life after the ceremony. Then, it was almost the same scenario. At the ceremony, I told Garth he would never be my mate. I met Charles after that because he didn't attend it. Before, I bought their drama that Charles could not see me marking my Garth, so he wasn't there. How stupid really I was!

I sneered. This is my second life now to change the wrong path I chose in the past. From the moment I opened my eyes earlier until now, I have been trying to change everything. But still, Indeed, Jenella and Charles' wicked soul continue scheming how to ruin me.

“I will call Charles later, Jenella. I will tell him that I will see him tomorrow. You can rest now. And thank you for all the help you are doing for us.”

Jenella grinned. She has no idea her enjoyment of deceiving me would return to her soon. When the b***h Jenella told me she would go to her room, I let her, and I went to my room too.

Inside my room, I closed my eyes. This is my first time sleeping after being back from the dead.

‘Oh, goddess….let me continue redoing my life. Thank you for making me do justice to what they did to Garth and me. Thank you for making me see and hug my father again.’

“Misty?” I talked to my wolf after praying to the Moon Goddess.

“Yes?”

“Do you think Garth will still reject me?”

“He won't. Knight could make him hesitate to reject you as his wolf wants me so much.”

“You really like knight…”

“I do.”

“Why did you let me believe Charles was my mate then?”

“It wasn't me who let you believe that. It was you who thought you liked Charles. I always told you I don't like his wolf.”

“Yeah…” I said, sighing.

“Are you in love with your true mate now?”

“I don't know yet,” I answered, as I was not really sure if I was into Garth now. The strong mate call was there, but it was because of our wolves. But me being into him?

“You are.”

“What ?”

“You are in love with Garth. You are into him.”

“How do you know?” I pouted. “The only thing you know is how to find your wolf mate and be marked.”

“I am part of you, Ashina. Whatever you are doubting, I know the answer.”

“Am I really into him?”

“Ever Since.”

“Oh..” I sat and looked at myself in the mirror. Most of the time, I hated the moment that Garth was my mate. How can Misty say that it was Garth I have been into since then?

“You like him but the fact that you are pitying Charles for not being your mate blinded you. Remember the physical attraction you had for Garth the first time you saw him?”

Dumbfounded, I nod. I remember the first day Garth visited my father. The way he looked at me when I was introduced by Daddy. We didn't know yet that we were mates at that time. I was young. I was only fifteen at that time.

“See?” Misty giggled. “Even when you were young, you already had a crush on him, but as time passed by, with Charles always beside you. You thought the latter was the one who loved you so much, and you cared for him because you believed he was kind and charming.”

I breathed in and out deeply. “Don't worry, Misty. They can't fool me anymore.”

“I know.” Misty dozed again after that talk, and I slept as well.

It was already morning when I woke up. I opened my eyes and immediately rose to bed. I checked myself in the mirror and tried to check the date on my mobile phone.

“Misty! Wake up!”

“Hmm…. What was that, Ashina?”

“Did we talk last night about Garth?”

“Yes.”

I breathed out my doubts. Thanks, Moon Goddess. This day is the continuation of yesterday. At least you genuinely give me a second chance to relive my life. I was afraid that I might not wake up again.

I smiled at my reflection in the mirror and then went to the bathroom to bathe. After preparing and cleaning myself, I went to the kitchen to look for food as I was starving.

“Hey…” Jenella smiled as she saw me preparing my food.

My left brow c****d upwards. What a s**t in the morning! I made a face and continued making my sandwich.

“Are you preparing some food for Charles?”

“No,” I answered with a bored tone.

“But… but I thought you would visit him.”

“I forgot to tell you but I can't…” I sounded sad.

“Why?”

“Uhmm…can you please look for Charles for me while I can't visit him, Jenella? Daddy and Garth warned me last night that if they knew that I am seeing Charles, they would punish him. I can't bear to see Charles being hurt and, worse, Dad might throw Charles out of our pack.”

“Oh no… poor Charles.”

“Yes, poor him.” And poor you too…I wanna add.

“What should we do now?”

“As I requested…. please… Can you take care of Charles for a while to make him ‘feel’ well.” I can't miss emphasizing the ‘feel’ word as I know how they will make each other feel well.

“But Charles wants to see you…”

“Yeah, I know. But I am strictly watched by Daddy and Garth,” I sounded sad. “Please,” I added, “you should be the one to help Charles in the meantime for his safety.”
