Rise Of The Shadow Luna

Chapter Five

Sophia’s POV

Yata was brought in and all the maids left. I hugged Yata tightly before inquiring about what was happening, she shared that the council lad decided that Aiden must get a breeder immediately. That is someone to sign a contract and give birth to a child.

“Really? So why was I abducted? Please tell me you had nothing to do with it.” I motioned towards her. “I have no idea but I will do my best to find out from the Lycan.” I nodded.

“So you attend the meetings too?” I asked Yata. “Yes I do, I am a member of the council and also a good friend of Lycan Aiden.” explained Yata.

“Interesting. So, do you have someone?" I asked her. I wasn’t sure why I was asking, but something compelled me to inquire.

"No, not yet. We'll have to inform the pack about this offer and see those interested" Yata explained.

“Yata, I really want to know why I am here? Why did he bring me here? And I'm wondering if you planned this with him.” I said, almost all at once. “Like I said earlier, I have no idea.To be honest with you I really have no idea why he brought you here. How is he treating you?”

“Last night, he spoke to me nicely. I don't know why, and I'm scared. I want to come back to you.” I sobbed. “When you disappeared and I found out he help you captive, I tried finding out what he wants from you but I got nothing. All he says is that time will tell. But be rest assured Sophia, He wouldn't harm you. That I am sure of.”

Since then, the thought lingered in my mind. The fear of Boris finding me loomed, and the desire for protection and companionship grew stronger. Should I jump on the offer or runaway? Being with Aiden will be of greater advantage to me, he could protect me and I will just be his breeder.

Right now, I'm not certain he likes me that much. He wants to sleep with me that's the only explanation of his sudden niceness towards me.

But then, I thought that instead of making it a one time thing, I could keep it.

The next day, I asked for permission like a prisoner and I was granted permission to go visit Yata as long as I go with some guards. I wondered why I was getting so much protection, it was beginning to freak me out.

At Yata’s, I asked if I could be allowed to try the contract, not revealing my main reason. She was surprised at first but later unexpectedly rejoiced. "I'm glad you're moving on. On the said date, we'll go to the meeting together, and I'm sure you'll be selected but for now, keep your plans a secret." Yata assured me.

Perhaps I was making a mistake but my heart wanted it and I had absolutely nothing to lose. What could possibly go wrong? On the day Aiden was supposed to select a breeder, I went to the meeting with Yata.

The sight of so many girls, including some who weren't from the pack, caught me off guard, making my heart race. Yata sat on the high table with the Beta and other members. We were called in and asked a few questions.

It seems they have specific standards for selecting a breeder to avoid potential complications. After answering a few questions, I took the opportunity to explore the impressive and spacious house. Despite I've lived in the house for two days now, I haven't explored because I was always inside my room.

Noting the beauty and the numerous servants attending to various tasks. It was quite an experience being in such an opulent setting. Yata informed me through the mind connect that it was time to seal the contract.

I couldn't believe it. I was selected among all these girls. My initial doubts about standing a chance melted away. Maybe I had found favour in the Lycan’s eyes. After all he abducted me for his s****l desires so I guess he wants to have more of me.

Entering the room, I found myself amidst the final agreements. The uncertainty and curiosity surged within me. “Where is the Lycan?" I asked Yata through the mind connect, eager to encounter the impenetrable figure at the center of it all.

I had expected him to be present, overseeing the selection or at least giving the final approval. “Worry not dear, You will meet him once we're done" Tala reassured me. After completing the necessary formalities, Yata guided me to his office. As we entered, he seemed very busy with paperwork at his desk.

"Here is who we found for you, she entered to be your contract bride and her qualities stood out. Her name is Sophia Woods. She was born in moonville pack.I'm sure you know her already but I bet you don't know everything about her" Yata introduced me with a warm smile to Aiden.

He continued working without raising his head or uttering a word. “I'm sure you two will meet later at home" Yata commented, signaling for us to leave. Exiting his office, I couldn't help but inquire. "Is he always this cold in public? Does his attitude towards someone always change spontaneously?" Yata responded with a small smile,

"Don't worry yourself about all of that, You'll get used to it.” I stared at her. “That sounds more like a threat!" I exclaimed. “No, trust me, it's not a threat. We need to get you a few things.” she added, leading the way. “I'm not sure.” I said shyly.

We ventured into town. and Yata generously provided me with beautiful dresses and other essentials before returning home. "Are you sure about this decision of yours?" Yata inquired during our dinner

"Yeah. I do not have any purpose. I do not even know why the Lycan captured me and placed me in the his palace. Perhaps this decision will fill my empty heart and the money will be useful as well.” I reassured her

I went back to the pack house, expecting Aiden to come to my room to check up on me, but he didn't.

The next morning, I got informed by Yata through the mind connect that she would be leaving for Aiden’s place in the evening. She Gathered the necessary items she bought for me and brought it all late in the evening. A servant helped to pack the items into my room.

My belongings were taken to the third floor, which wasn't the normal room which Lycan Aiden had initially placed me in. presumably the third floor was where his room was located. Nervousness gripped me at this unexpected turn of events. Rejected by my mate and now becoming a breeder for a powerful lycan.

I hadn't anticipated this path. At dinner, Aiden joined us, remaining silent and avoiding eye contact. I couldn't help but wonder why the sudden cold nature towards me. He wasn't like this the day he came to check on me after abducting me.

He ate swiftly and left for his office. Yata reassured me, insisting that I would be fine and not to worry too much. After Yata left, with the servants tidying up after dinner. I found myself with nothing to do. Not wanting to intrude, I decided to explore.

Heading upstairs, I heard some movement, indicating that Aiden was likely in his office. Reaching the third floor, I discovered only two rooms facing each other. The simplicity surprised me. The whole floor consisted of just two rooms. Opening the first door. I found my belongings neatly arranged inside the room.

The room was well-furushed, far beyond anything i had ever dreamed of. Its size alone surpassed that of many houses back at moonville pack. The bed was very large. Larger than that of the room I was initially put in.

Within the room, two doors caught my attention. One revealed a spacious and beautifully designed bathroom, while the other led to a mini kitchen. Despite the lavish surroundings, I couldn't find any trace of Aiden’s belongings. Curiosity getting the better of me. I decided to investigate the other room.

Exiting and slinking into the second room, I discovered it to be equally spacious. The bed appeared larger, and his distinct scent spread throughout the entire room. I approached his table, marvelling at the neatness and beauty of everything on it. A particularly beautiful portable lamp snagged my eye.

Suddenly, the door swung open, startling me, and I accidentally dropped the lamp, smashing it to pieces on the floor. As I turned, I faced Aiden’s impenetrable figure. "I'm sorry" I uttered, referring to the broken lamp.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" he asked. catching me off guard. "I'm Sophia.You brought me here earlier and I'm your..." he cut me off abruptly.

"Now, listen to me, Sophia. I brought you here for a different reason but you screwed up and now You're my breeder. You are not to invade my personal space. You have your room" he declared in a harsh tone, leaving me surprised and taken aback.

"I'm sorry, and I'm sorry about the lamp" I apologized, taking my leave. However, he stopped me just as I approached. "Listen, we can only get intimate on odd days, do you hear me!?". He scolded. Silently, I stood there. "Answer me!" he shouted, his voice sending trembles down my spine.

As if he could see through me, he added, "Yes. Let your fear of me be a constant reminder that I am not someone you can mess with.” At that moment. I was already trembling. I found it hard to accept that the sweet man who gifted me the other day was being this harsh to me.

Regret swelled within me. Sophia, Is this the life you chose for yourself? I regretted ever coming to be chosen immediately.
