Chapter 24
What is that supposed to mean Alpha Kins? What are you talking about?“I ask anxiously.
“We can’t talk here Crystalise,it is too dangerous, I can’t risk my kids being taken away from me or your husband snapping my neck. “he says and reaches into his pocket and pulls out a card.
“This is my number, call me and we’ll arrange where to meet and talk about this okay“he says and I take it and put it into my purse.
“I’ll see you soon Crystalise Gun“he says and gives me one pad smile before walking away.
“Luna Crystalise, Alpha wants you inside immediately” Beta Zack says behind me startling me a little.
1 turn around and glare at him, “don’t ever do that again. You startled me“I snap
“Sorry Luna” he says but I know he didn’t mean it.
This Beta doesn’t have an ounce of respect for me, but then again neither does their Alpha.
I walk in with him and I sit in the front row along with him.
Minutes later the council members arrive and I notice the Alpha king was missing, then again he is barely seen at meetings, rumors have it,he is vicious and unforgiven. Also heard his wife died years ago turning him into a beast.
The trial begins,it between a cheating Alpha, he cheated on his Luna with her own sister and even had a child with her. All the Luna wants is to break the bond between them for good and there is a witch here willing to do that. After several hours the trial ends and everyone steps outside.
I need a place to pee, so I do the most logic thing,go around the building and ask a random pack member for help. But I stop in my tracks we I see the Luna, whose trial we just witnessed standing at the corner with her hands to her waist.
“Please Casma, you don’t have to leave,I am your mother and I didn’t want you getting hurt. It was so obvious Rhys didn’t love you anymore, he was in love with your sister and when she finally told me what was happening after I confronted I was furious but I couldn’t tell you, I couldn’t be the one to ruin our family and I thought Rhys would have told you“the older woman with her begs.
“Yeah and keeping it a secret helped me mom. You don’t even deserve that title. You and your entire family betrayed me and I would never ever forgive you. From today onwards you cease to be my mom, because that woman died 5 years ago“she says and walks away leaving the woman to sob.
Well…. that was surprising.
I can’t bare the thought of mama betraying me.
The next day morning I get ready for us to leave, as I am sitting in the lounge area waiting for Zander,he appears but he doesn’t look like someone who is ready to leave yet
Immediately he gets closer to me,I am on feet, “Alpha, arent we leaving yet” I ask bowing my head down.
I don’t dare to look at his face,I am scared shitless of what he might do.
Seconds pass and I hear him sigh,then I feel fingers under my chin which makes me flinch alittle.
He gently lifts it so that I can look him in the eyes.

“Stop call me that… okay. We are equal, you are my mate and wife,my Lana so please call me Zander. I know I hurt you in the past but I am sorry okay“he whispers softly.
I do nothing but nod because I am not only surprised but also perplexed.
“Infact, I want us to start all over. Since we are bonded for life and you might be carrying my heir,I want us to live like a couple, tolerate each other, at least for the sake of our unborn baby” he says and I look at him weirdly.
“Which… which unborn baby? 1 am not….. “I trial off.
I am not pregnant. I can’t be pregnant now,or maybe I am,
‘Ria is there someone living inside me I ask her shakily. Riais
“I don’t know but I feel weird,like suddenly protective of you. So has Atlas‘ she replies equally scared.
“I know you haven’t started showing symptoms yet but I can smell the new scent and Atlas has suddenly become too overprotective“he explains and I step back, my hands immediately moving to my flat tummy.
No.
No..
I can’t be pregnant. I am not ready. I begin to shake uncontrollably,
“Hey, hey hey,calm down. Don’t panic” he says pulling me to his chest.
He gently begins to rub my back up and down soothingly.
“I going to treat you right this time round. For the baby I am willing to work things out with you, forget about my revenge and all“he says and but all I do is shake my head.
I don’t want to try with him,I can’t. I just can’t.
Yesterday after my mini break down, Zander surprisingly treated me with a special lunch outside.
Today too he is treating me with breakfast outside the city
“Where are we going Zander?” I ask him as he drags me towards what looks like a heel top.
“Just keep quiet and follow me“he smiles and continues to drag me until we stop at the top.
“Wow“I mutter,this place look absolutely breathtaking.
You see the view of the entire city on your left but rest are valleys ands mountain. The sunrise makes it more amazing.
“You like it?“he asks and I nod.
“Okay, let’s eat,the food must be getting cold.“he says and now realize there is a mat with food basket on it.
He settles me on it and serves me with a variety of food.
The smile on face never fades as I eat my food.
