Chapter 2
Mira's POV.
Jax stood on his feet from the bed. He pecked me intentionally on my cheek while I lay calmly on the bed hugging the pillow.
He had wrapped the handkerchief stained with my blood and tucked it in his back pocket like his life depends on it
My body aches and I couldn't explain the pains emanating between my legs.
Have I been deflowered?!
The word echoed in me continuously. I couldn't process the thought.
This was not what I planned. This was not what I promised my deceased parents.
I tried to ignore Jax putting on his clothes as I glued myself to my pillow.
The pain. The shame. The broken promises.
This is not what I promised my parents. I promised them that my fated mate would only have access to my body on our wedding's night.
Streams of tears flow away from my ears. As I lay silent in bed.
Jax immediately saw it. He lifted me off the bed towards him.
"Let go of me, at least you have gotten what you want?"
"What do you mean? You think I made this up?" Jax bellowed, his voice demanded an answer.
Silence lingered between us for a second before I fired back. "Fuck you, fuck the elder, fuck the throne. Please let me be."
Jax frowned. He jacked his head backward for a second. His arms folded across his chest.
"You promise me that you will stick with me to the end based on the promises I made to my parents about my virginity."
"Why must it always be about you, why not us?" jax fired back with rage bending towards me.
He had put on his clothes this time.
"I don't think you love me enough? I doubt it? How can you not think of the evil that would before, you and even the land if I don't mate with my fated mate?
"I can never believe you, you connive with those bastards to come with that falsehood ..." I pointed to the note placed on the stool beside the lamp stand . That's called a note from the elders."
I fumed. Anger erupted through me as I buried my head back into my pillow.
"so I made this up, Mira? I am not discussing this with you anymore. If you care about me and want us to rule this pack together, meet me in the palace tomorrow."
He moved closer to the door and firmly on the door knob, " I will send the guards to you with the dress you are to wear to the palace. In all this just know that I love you. I am doing this for us. You will be my Luna while we sit on the throne to govern this unto prosperity, I can't afford to relinquish my father's throne to those cunny bastards. He warned ..."
"Enough! Just get out..." I cut-in and rushed to the door and slammed it.
He banged the door for sometime before turning footsteps to leave. I could hear the disappearance of his footsteps from the door.
I quickly locked the key.
Dropped myself to the ground wept bitterly like a mother carrying the lifeless body of his begotten son that had been mysteriously slaughtered.
I snapped back to reality, "If any of this is what you are selling, I am not fucking buying!" I roared with anger. They looked at me like a wild wolf set loose, ready to have it lunch on a stray prey. I gritted my teeth.
Someone is trying to outsmart me here. But I won't give up.
"Who is fooling me between you old snakes and that bastard called Jax?" I queried.
One of the elders with grey bearded and slightly hunched back added, "Look at this little thing calling our king an ordinary name, no honor attached to it."
I looked at him with intense anger as he grabbed his staff with his two hands as if his life depended on it. Voicing quivering like leaf drifting pass the surface of a leaf.
Another said "maybe that was the reason the oracle rejected you, they are our guiding light, they see more than us. They see into the future. You may be a timebomb waiting to explode anytime."
I let out a dry but unseemingly dangerous laugh. "You all are talking about respect, right? Where were yours when you helped Jax played me like a puppet"
"I don't have any words to exchange with any of you. Where is Jax? Where is that cunny snake?" I bellowed in anger. Looking around if the idiot would show up his wicked and manipulative face.
Stone Faced and remorseless elder Dorian replied, "I am sorry to tell you that you will not be able to see Jax now until he performs his final rites with the moon goddess."
My stomach dropped. Like my gullet was tied up I could not push spit down my throat.
"Who brought this out? I dipped my hand into the small bag with me, to my surprise, I couldn't find the note Alpha Jax brought to me yesterday.
Where has it been?
I put it in my little bag before leaving the house. I am the type that doesn't dispose of things for future reference.
"I look very disturbed. But I kept it here." I muttered to myself. As I ransacked every corner of my small bag.
I couldn't explain where it had gone
Who could have taken it?
"You guys should wait?.." I let it out while still ransacking my bag to see if I would set my eyes on it. " Let me show the world the shameless note you and your alpha Jax came up with to carry out your wicked act..."
The whole world was looking at us like some stage play artists. It was shocking. They were eager to see what was lying between me and them.
"Enough!" The word from elder Dorien echoed in the hall enough to deafen the ear. "This is blasphemy to the gods of this land. We will not sit here and tolerate such insults to the gods.
"Guards take him out of here and lock him up till the rites for our king are over . Do not let her feet touch the ground. She is polluted. We send her out of this park after rites for the king are completed.
Suddenly two hefty guys carried me off my feet from the front crowd and dropped me into a sack that swallowed my mid-section. I could hear the noise from the crowd. The booing.
I hurried into the hallway enroute to the prison or wherever they had prepared for me. Until I saw my niece, ivy, with a piece of paper I had been looking for. She put up a wicked smile.
"I used to warn you losers that Jax is for me, but you won't listen?" she let out a wicked laugh.
"Are you part of this too, Ivy?" I managed to let out as I was carried hurriedly past her.
