Chapter 3 Third Chapter.

Ringing! There was a loud ringing in my ears. It got realer and realer as I tried to start to walk. My heart had dropped to my stomach, and it was drowning in the acids of my stomach, burning more than a kid with the highest fever. My chest was stuffy, and my vision was compromised, and I didn't know whether it was compromised by the tears or the dizziness. My voice was none-existent at this point because every time I tried to open my stupid mouth nothing came. I want you to know that I really tried but I just couldn't speak not one syllable.

Everything that had just happened a moment ago refused to register as reality in my brain nor my body. My body was literally rejecting everything, and my mind was asking me questions I had no answers to. Shit like when? How? What? Am I that stupid that I didn't...? when my mind reached that point, I finally collapsed to my knees in my expensive ball gown bought for me by Damien.

The thought finally broke the camel's back, and I released a deep, loud cry right in front of them. I screamed to the best of my abilities. I screamed as if I had lost everything and there was no hope for me anymore which was my reality. They finally paid attention to me and stopped congratulating the happy couple.

"Can somebody please deal with her!? Remember the friend that didn't like, he spoke up again in annoyance.

"Give her, her gift." Damien commanded loosely. Why did he care now about whether I got a gift from him or not.

"Yeah!!" His evil friend seemed hyped up.

Two military men came and carried me from either side.

"Let me go!!" I started protesting even though my energy didn't allow me to be any kind of aggressive right now.

The cloth that was covering the big gift was finally lifted and my eyes widened when I saw what it is.

"Am I a dog?" I asked chuckling through my pain, I felt very numb right now.

"Well, your Luna chose it for you." Damien answered without any hurt or break in his voice. It was clear from his relaxed tone that he was on board with this.

"Damien...." I tried to beg him and hold him with tears in my eyes. I was sure that my man was still in there.

"If you touch him, you won't like the place I will put you in!" Alora had the nerve to be possessive about my man to me. That discovery made me enraged and seeing her relaxed around him rose the kind of anger I didn't think I had.

This was my chance. I had put up with a lot from her and if I continue to keep up with shit from her then she might actually end up being my Luna. I took a step forward to slap her but then Damien stood in front of her and he took the impact.

Seeing what I have done my hand immediately started shaking, "Damien I'm so sorry I..." I didn't get to finish apologizing to him and he had already slapped me across the face.

I held my throbbing cheek, "I have been far too patient with you!!" He snapped.

I looked at him just to be sure that he was the one who had slapped me, "You pull that his again and I will go with her original plan." He was talking about Alora. He was actually on her side, he was standing up for her against me which was our thing.

As I was trying to accept how bizarre this situation was the evil friend asked, "can we throw her in now?" he seemed impatient for my demise.

"Damien!!" I screamed for help from him when they held me and started shoving me towards the cage made for human.

"Don't do this to me..." I begged looking back at him while they dragged me to my cage. "Damien! Damien we're destined to be together!" I tried to restart his memory, maybe there was something wrong there.

"Shut Up!" Alora had lost her patience and kicked me from the back into my cage causing me to fall face front in it. When I Turned back around it was a click of the metal locks locking me inside.

"Damien..." I called out with a low, hoarse voice adding my puppy dog eyes trying make him weak.

"Asta, what actually went through your mind thinking that me and you will end up together?" What the fuck was he asking me? He made me trust him and he always said and did the right things, how could I not trust nor love him.

"So you're tossing me out like a rotten potato!?" I didn't know whether I was screaming because of my anger or because I was trying to get through to him.

"I think rotten potatoes are better than you." Alora sounded so proud saying that line to me in front of Damien and not getting no backlash.

"Baby let me handle it." He spoke with a soft yet clear voice to her.

"Are you siding with her!?" Her mood quickly changed.

"I'm siding with you, you know all this dram is not good for him." He was actually trying to coax her.

"Him...?" I asked losing my strength and my tears were now near retiring.

"Yeah." He confirmed.

"You can't do this to me. You're the only person who's not allowed to hurt m..." My voice broke and when I thought a broken dam of tears would come they just never came. I was crying with no tears now.

"He can! He is!" The excitement in her voice annoyed the shit out of me.

"SHUT UP!!!" I had never used that voice before, I think my wolf came through.

"Get me in there so I can deal with her!" She tried to get into my cage but Damien and his friend were stopping her. Maybe it was the fact that I knew they wouldn't let her in or maybe it was actually my bravery but for the first time since she started threatening me, and I didn't back away or just accept my fate instead I was ready for war.

"I will deal with her for you." Damien made a sweet promise to her and I gagged. He turned to me and gave me the coldest glare that I have seen give somebody ad I have seen him giving people cold stares plenty of times.

"You're going to regret this!" I was now at the anger part of the five stages of grief trying to rattle the cage.

Calm as I have always known him he looked at me, "I Damien son of Alpha Caiphus-" I cut his speech short. I see already where this was going.

"Damien please no!" I begged shaking my head violently and my tears starting afresh.

"Mom! Mom help! Dad! Dad Please help!!" I looked frantically around for my parents calling for them. They were my parents but since I turned twelve I always called them by name being Marjorie and Greg but this time I was desperate and I was hoping they could remember that I was their child.

I didn't see them, I couldn't hear them, there was not a peep from my parents.

"Mom! Dad!" I raised my voice and screamed louder even though my thought was now becoming dry.

"Alpha! Alpha please!" I begged Damien's father because I always thought me and him are pretty close. Maybe he might convince Damien.

I closed my eyes to listen to my heart shutter when I saw Damien's father raise his hands in surrender.

"Can you focus?" He casually snapped his fingers at me calling for my attention.

"You're going to kill me..." I lost my breath begging for my life and my eyes were watering and my voice had cracks in it.

He didn't say anything instead he just looked at me with no emotion whatsoever, "I haven't even met my wolf..." I was through the dramatic sobs and now I was in the soapie kind of cries.

"You can't..." I couldn't even finish the sentence it just hurt too much I had to balance myself on the bars of the cage.

"Can you please be done with whatever it is you're doing?!" He was being impatient with me. At this moment he was impatient with me. I was completely in the darkness, my world just fell apart and I was blindsided. I was sold a dream and now I was woken up with a full bucket of ice water and now the ice was starting to melt as my body was near giving up.

I gave him the attention he so wanted, "I Damien, son of Alpha Caiphus-" I disturbed him again after all when he got that part the burning sensation in my chest felt like it would burn me from the inside out.

"I'll be your side chick! I'll completely do everything and anything you want as long as you don't reject me!" I shamelessly begged, I was on my knees rubbing my hands together in a prayer like position. "I'll be Alora's slave!!" I ended my dog like begging.

"You'll do what she says anyway, she's your Luna!" Damien made sure I got the last part and his 'Luna' nodded her head in agreement.

"Da-" He cut me off, "Will you please shut up Asta!!?" He was actually exasperated.

"I'll keep it short." he released a short breath. "I Damien, son of Alpha Caiphus reject you Asta as my mate...." Everything else after that if there was any became a blurr.

After he was done talking, my head was thrown back by an unknown force and time stood still for a second while my ears rang to the max then like a log I fell straight backwards, all of this was happening in slow motion, at least for me then it was lights out for me. Even the lights out was like it was creeping on me when in reality I just blacked out as soon as I hit the floor.

Nobody was aware but in the distance the Oracle sounded the drum. The palace seemed surprised, it had been a long time since the Oracle had any prophecy that could make Anax happy. Was she really confident? Cause if she's sounding the drum and dancing then it means she is confident with her vision but if it doesn't make Anax happy then it will be off with her head.

The Oracle came to Anax's mansion followed by drums that were being beat by creatures who were scared for their well-being and their lives. On the way to the mansion she tried to recruit people into dancing with her as if rain was coming after a long drought. But it was something similar.

She walked in slowly dancing, she swiftly went to her knees and bowed down with her head to the floor when she saw Anax who was looking out of his huge window, drinking god knows what.

The oracle said nothing, she just continued bowing her head and her knees and back were giving out, she was too old for this shit.

"You actually have balls." He didn't look at her when talking to her. "You danced all the way here, aren't you afraid that I will pull you apart and make sure you feel everything?" Anax seemed impressed with what he said because he snickered to himself.

The Oracle didn't answer. "So, what's the good news?" He finally faced the Oracle who was now shaking on the floor because her body was frail and weak and it was not made for these harsh conditions, but what could she do, she owed a favor.

"Speak." He commanded.

"The vessel is finally born."
