Bequeathed to my Cold Alpha

A Good Friend

Jane’s POV

I couldn't look away from Alpha Jason as he spoke those hurtful words. I was glad that baby Hilda was already sleeping before he came in. I was afraid that Alpha Jason was going to traumatize Hilda at the rate he was going so I always did my best to keep her away from him.

I was crying profusely by the time Alpha Jason closed the door. I slumped to the floor as the tears cascaded slowly down my face. Alpha Jason hated me yet he wouldn't let me go.

Sometimes I wished he would just get so angry and transfer baby Hilda and I to another pack. That way we will be free of his hatred and undeserved anger. I couldn't count how many times he had made me cry. I was tired of being treated like I wasn't human too.

The door of the nursery opened again and I quickly got up from the floor thinking that it was Alpha Jason that had returned. I cried more in relief when I saw that it was Stephanie, the mate of Alpha Leo's best friend.

"My goodness. Jane. What happened?" Stephanie said as she rushed to my side and I stumbled and ended in her hands. I let go of my hold on my emotions and let the tears come in torrents.

“Let it all out. You will be fine,” Stephanie said rubbing soothing circles on my back.

Stephanie was a friend to Luna Hilda before she died. She was also mated to General Leo who was Alpha Jason’s best friend and probably only friend. General Leo seemed to understand Alpha Jason perfectly. According to what I heard, they had been friends since childhood.

"Why does he hate me so much? Why can't he just at least tolerate me?" I asked after my tears had subsided.

"It is okay Jane. Everything is going to be okay," Stephanie said, then led me to the chair. She made me sit then she sat beside me.

“I doubt if everything will ever be okay. Do you know how many times I had considered killing myself since Luna Hilda died?” I said looking at Stephanie pitifully.

“You wouldn't do it, would you?” Stephanie asked with panic in her eyes.

“No. I wouldn't leave baby Hilda to suffer,” I said wrapping my hands on my chest. I could feel that tears had stopped coming on their own.

“Thank you,” Stephanie said sighing in relief.

“Why are you thanking me?” I asked looking at her with a frown.

“I promised Hilda to look after you. I wouldn't forgive myself if anything should happen to you,” Stephanie said unhappily.

“Except he gets madly angry and kill me, I am not going anywhere,” I said and I meant it.

“He wouldn't kill you. He loved and respected Hilda too much to harm you,” Stephanie said and I snorted.

“You should see him the way he is whenever he is angry with me which is all the time. He sometimes closes his eyes then calms himself down before he speaks to me again. I am sure he is trying to stop his wolf from tearing me into pieces,” I said.

“I doubt that. Leo thinks so too. Alpha Jason will never hurt you. He knows what is at stake,” Stephanie said but I didn't believe her at all.

We both fell into silence before I spoke again. "Is something wrong with me? Am I such a hateful person?’ I asked Stephanie.

"You are a lovely person, Jane. You do not deserve the way he is treating you," Stephanie answered.

"Luna Hilda should have known that Alpha Jason has a black and cold heart. She should have known better than to bequeath me to a man that is not capable of love. A man who can't even look at his own child", I said crying.

"Luna Hilda knew that you would make a good Luna that was why she insisted that Alpha Jason should make you his Luna. She also knew you would be a good mother, that was why she gave baby Hilda to you."

"To be a good Luna, I need an Alpha. Alpha Jason hates the idea of my existence. I will be glad if he will just change his mind and take another female as his Luna, "I said wiping the tears off my face as the tears had subsided.

You underestimate the level of love that Alpha Jason had for Luna Hilda if you think he will do away with you. He will never do away with you because he will not want to go against Luna Hilda’s last wish. Wipe your tears and cheer up Jane. Everything will be fine,’ Stephanie said smiling.

"I doubt that,"’ I said folding my hands on my chest.

“Don't doubt that everything will be fine. We never can tell. You can just wake up one day and find that you have sneaked your way into his heart,” Stephanie said.

“Never! I wouldn't want to be in there for any reason. It will be too dark and cold in there. I don't want to live the rest of my life in darkness nor do I want to freeze to death,” I said hissing lightly.

Stephanie couldn't help but laugh. Her laugh was so contagious that I joined her. Though I was laughing with her but I was also serious about not wanting to be in a dark cold heart like that of Alpha Jason.

“You might get in his heart and discover that it is not the way you think,” Stephanie said

“I don't want to find out. Besides, I don't even know my way into his heart,” I said.

"Wait until you become Luna in the next few weeks then I will show you the best way to a man's heart," Stephanie said winking at me.

"You can only enter a heart that has a door,"and is not made out of cold stone," I said hissing loudly.

Stephanie laughed and pulled my cheek playfully "Wait until then. We will then find out if his heart has a door or not."

"Thank you ma'am. I feel better now," I said to Stephanie with a smile.

"I have told you several times to not call me ma'am. You are going to become my Luna in a few weeks. Irrespective of the age difference, you are my superior. So stop with the ‘ma'am’ thing already ’ Stephanie said and I nodded.

“You are such a a good friend. I am sure that Luna Hilda will be happy with you for looking after baby Hilda and I wherever she is,” I said and I meant it.

“I wish I could do more. Alpha Jason wouldn't let me take care of you and baby Hilda properly. Buy you clothes, take you out and stuff,” Stephanie said sadly.

“You are doing enough under the circumstances. Thank you ma'am. Sorry Stephanie,” I said quickly correcting my mistake.

“You are welcome Luna,” Stephanie teased.

“Don't call me that,” I said smiling.

“Get used to it,” she said.

She left later after she had talked to me extensively about being patient with Alpha Jason. We also discussed some other things about baby Hilda. I felt a bit better by the the time she left.
