Chapter 10: Chapter 10

Viona watched the man in daze who silently accepted each one of her conditions without any argument. She was little moved and suspicious at the same time that she fell into any kind of treat.

The most shocked person was Brian who observed his sister with disbelief reflected in his eyes. After coming down together, Damien straightforwardly proposed the matter of their marriage to Alpha Rogers who was delighted and stunned at the same time. Yet a relief flashed across his mind when he no longer had to be harsh on his daughter.

The Royal had their own cultures when it came to claiming their mate. It was their old traditional term that the king would have to get married before claming his mate as his wife. Thus Damien urged the marriage to be done fast as he was confused about his mate's whirlwind emotions.

Brian skipped beside Viona after excusing himself from the gathering and whispered disbelievingly,

" Vi, don't tell me that you have other plans in your sleeves. I can't believe that you agreed so fast. Did he manage to successfully claim your heart? "

Viona rolled her eyes back and shot her brother a cold glare. Sighing out in frustration, she mumbled lowly,

" Oh come on, did you think that I am so easy minded? It's true that we have agreed for the sake of our reputation. We will eventually depart after one year on the biggest lunar eclipse."

Brian's expression turned horrified as it took a while to register her words in reality. Claming down himself after a while, Brian literally shouted grinding his teeth,

" You..you...did what? Don't tell me that you have decided to break your bond with him performing the ritual ? "

Viona averted her eyes somewhere else nervously and went silent. Brian immediately understood the answer behind her silence and spoke to her harshly,

" Vi.. how.. how could you... don't take marriage and mate bond so lightly in your life! "

Viona finally loosened her control from her emotions and blurted out suddenly,

" I never took! You know better than anyone, Brian."

Brian stopped immediately when he noticed those threatening tears in her eyes. His mouth opened up nervously as his voice came out softly this time,

" Don't be so harsh on yourself,Vi. You might end up hurting yourself more. Perhaps he can give you protection. Why don't you give him a chance to protect you seriously?"

Viona gulped down bitterly and mumbled,

" I don't need anyone's protection, Brian. I know how to protect myself. "

Brian couldn't find anymore words to coax her anger and kept pondering in deep thoughts. If somehow Damien could know everything, would he try to hurt his sister like others?

Soon laughter cracked inside the villa of Blue Moon Pack Villa as Mr.Rogers approved their marriage without any more delay. He personally instructed the gammas to prepare the wedding tomorrow and went to personally invite the Alphas from other packs. He couldn't wait to show off everyone that his daughter was going to get married with the Alpha King.

After fixing the marriage with Mr.Rogers, Damien didn't stay any longer in the villa and went back to his own pack to inform others. Though he had already imagined that Celeb might have already held a party in happiness.

••••••••••••••••••

_TREVISAN MANSION_

As expected, everyone beamed happily at the sight of Damien who just passed through the entrance of his villa. His face was still aloof but one could tell that his mood was exceptionally happy.

His gammas greeted one by one excitedly and trailed him off closely in case they missed his announcement. Celeb was smiling all the while as he robbed some red pockets for the sake of leaking this information first from these impatient fellows.

Damien stopped at the hallway, turned around to face the pack members and felt a little weird to say something about his own marriage. Unfortunately he had no one who could do this honour of announcing this happy news. His parents were killed at the age of eighteen by a Rogue pack and left him alone with a bunch of responsibilities in this world. Since then, he managed himself alone and practically viewed this pack members as his own family.

Damien cleared off his throat awkwardly and spoke to the excited crowd loudly,

" Everyone, I assume that Celeb has already spreaded out the news amongst all of you. We, Blood Moon Pack is going to have our Luna tomorrow."

Everyone chirped happily and clapped their hands. As they were still immersed in happiness, one of them asked out of curiosity,

" But Alpha, who is your mate? Which pack she belongs to? "

Damien smiled faintly,his eyes showed a little warmth as he gave them a name shortly after,

" Viona Rogers, the daughter of Derek Rogers From Blue Moon Pack."

As soon as his words came out, everyone was stunned before lowering their eyes down dissapointed. They didn't dare to mention in front of Damien but they seemed not satisfied with the introduction of Viona. So far they have heard countless gossips revolving around Viona. Some said that she had an affair with a human or others said that she was some kind of witch that's why she didn't show any mate ball to find her mate. Morever she acted very suspicious around men and always got in fights with them because of her kickass character. Even an insider leaked that she didn't share a harmonious bond with her own father.

How could she become the Luna Queen of all packs?

The members from the Blood Moon pack were displeased with the idea and seemed to hold a bad impression on Viona's attitude. Although they didn't say something in words, Damien had already seen through their minds and felt concerned too. Eventually it was his own idea to marry off that unscrupulous woman with her bound conditions. He couldn't stop his emotions this time. No matter how many tantrums she threw, he was eager to bind her by his side for forever. His wolf was dominance but his emotions were far more stronger. But would she treat this pack as her own?

This question brought a little caress between his brows as he couldn't help but feel concerned. The old omega finally mustered up the courage and inquired with the intention of delaying this marriage,

" Alpha, your aunt Meredith is still out of the city. Why don't you wait for her arrival? "

Damien shot him a meaningful glare. Indeed old people had their own cunning tricks. Without exposing his intentions, Damien declared with determination tingling in his voice,

" As you know, uncle Jabriel, we can't leave our mates alone after the mate bond is exposed. Morever her staying with Blood Moon Pack can be dangerous since I have an uncountable number of foes. I believe that Moon Goddess has chosen the right woman for our pack. I hope that you all will cooperate with me while accomplishing the procedures tomorrow."

Mr.Jabriel's expression turned black after finding no words to rebuke yet pursued his lips to say something. Damien just lifted one of his hands silently and spoke after glancing at his bitter expression,

" No more questions, uncle. Aunt can meet our luna later. There is no rush. Prepare her meeting with the pack tomorrow."

Damien left the venue after giving only a few words and left the pack members with numerous gossip. Their only hope was Damien's aunt but the woman was still travelling and couldn't be bothered to come.

••••••••••••••

_ROGERS PACK VILLA_

Viona could no longer want to be bothered by the excitement that their pack members were sharing now. After the news of her marriage travelled outside, everybody was more and more anxious than her.

She dragged her injured feet upstairs hoping to take a slumber sleep to refresh her mood. After hopping into her bed, her thoughts started running wild.

In just one day,her whole life had changed! A mate! She never wished to find out. Only goddess knew how much she prayed to live without mate in this all years.

A suffocated feeling started to crawl up from her throat clouding her mind with numerous anxieties. Clutching the edge of her fluffy pillow, she mumbled in a low voice,

" I am sorry! "

Inside the semi-dark room, her low voice echoed accompanied by a low crying voice which was held down forcefully.

She didn't know how long she cried pathetically. When her consciousness returned from a deep slumber sleep, she was startled to find an unfamiliar person beside her bedside.

Her eyes widened apart shockingly when she saw the man filling a liquid inside an injection. She stumbled up from the bed before letting out a loud growl,

" What.. what are you doing? How did you enter my bedroom?"

The man didn't say anything instead averted his eyes behind her back. Only then Viona felt that there was another person present inside the room.
