Agatha's POV
"What are you doing!"
Maybe you could say this is the worst day that ever happened in my life. What I see now is something I never expected before. My partner, Gerard, was with Vera, my sister, in our bed.
"Agatha!" Gerard got up and tried to approach me. "I--."
I stopped Gerard's sentence, and I pointed at him and Vera, who didn't look guilty at all. "Shut up! My eyes are not blind, and I don't want to hear your excuses! You and Vera are nothing but disgusting trash. I will report this to Father!"
I slammed the door hard, letting tears flow down my cheeks. However, after a few moments, Gerard chased me and grabbed my hand.
"Stop it, Agatha!"
"Let go of me, Gerard! What more do you want? Do you want to forbid me from complaining about your bad deeds?"
"Yeah, you can't do it, and you never will. Understand? I can explain everything that happened. I--."
Again, I stopped Gerard's sentence. I shook my head as I walked away from him.
"Be patient, Agatha. Be strong. He wasn't the right guy, from the first moment I saw him I was sure that something bad would happen. It's just that I still think positively about The Moon Goddess' plan."
I ignored my wolf's words for a moment. Pipe, I don't know how strong I must be to face this. I feel like my life is horrible and unfair. Vera has always been the destroyer of my happiness for a long time.
My father was sitting with my mother in the backyard when I arrived before them. And as usual, their gazes always implied that I was a nuisance. I can see how my mother rolled her eyes while sipping the drink in her hand.
"What is it? Why did you come with a cry that made your face even more unattractive, Agatha?" my mom asked.
I swallowed my saliva and grabbed the hem of my shirt. I took a deep breath and said. "Vera! Vera caused all this! She tricked Gerard into sleeping with her. I just saw them naked and doing disgusting things!"
My father smiled a crooked smile. Somehow, I felt something was wrong. He then stood up and shouted for Vera and Gerard, his voice filling the mansion. I wasn't sure they would punish Vera. I know how sweet they treated Vera, and maybe you could say I was the child who never got affection from them.
Like a gust of wind, Vera and Gerard arrived beside me in the blink of an eye. They compactly use their wolf forms to come. I glanced at Vera, and she smiled while raising her eyebrows as if nothing had happened.
"Yes, Daddy. Why did you call me?" Vera asked in a spoiled, petty tone that always made people melt at her. Disgusting.
I wanted so badly to grab her hair, but I knew if I did, I wouldn't get answers for everything happening.
"My lovely daughter, Vera, I want to ask you something. Why did you do bad things to Agatha? Can't you wait for your partner to come in one year?" My father said it with a firm face, and it was the first time I saw her expression like this.
Should I be happy? I don't know, I can't guess my parents. They've defended Vera so much, I find it hard to believe. But you could say this is a pretty good start.
"Alpha Jeremy, I can explain all of this!" Gerard lunged for defense, but my father put his hand up to Gerard and told him to stay still.
"I don't want to hear excuses from anyone. Vera is the only person who has to answer my questions."
I immediately looked at my little sister and snapped at her. "Quickly say what you want to say, bitch!"
"Agatha! How dare you call your sister such a bad name!"
Of course, my mother immediately stood up for her beloved child. It's nothing new that surprises me. My wounded heart feels like it's bleeding more and more.
"Okay, I'll explain what happened. This is not Gerard's fault, and I did want him to be my partner. I don't want to wait until I'm 18. I've fallen in love with Gerard since he came to this mansion. I'm angry, and I'm jealous when he's making out with Agatha. I hate having to see all that. I want Gerard to be my partner, and I want to be his Luna."
My mounting emotions made me immediately change my form into a wolf and prepare to attack Vera. But what happened next? I was the one who fell. My father shot him back and threw my body quite far from where we stood.
"Why did you do that, Vera? Fucking bitch! You can never touch Gerard!" I screamed until I felt like my neck was going to fall off.
Gerard didn't stay silent. The fool approached me and tried to calm me down. I felt disgusted being touched by him, but I also needed him to make me believe that Vera would not affect anything in our relationship.
"Your actions were foolish, Agatha. Why do you want to attack your sister? You are truly disgraceful!" The slap landed perfectly on my face. My father's hand was so light as to give a spicy taste to my cheek.
I raised my head, and I didn't want to stop fighting all this yet. "I'm just fighting for the only happiness I have, Dad! I'm not Vera. You always give something beautiful, and I'm not more like an omega in this pack! Gerard is my biggest wish for a different life."
"Yes, but life is cruel, Agatha. I saw what happened and want you to turn Gerard over to Vera. Gerard is a powerful young Alpha, and Vera is one of the best female members in our pack. My vision is to advance this pack to remain at the top. Two great people who unite will bring this pack even more great in the future."
I shook my head, looking at Gerard with the hope that he would put up a fight. But, of course, this disgusting life wasn't on my side. Gerard even gave up when Vera approached him and embraced his hand tenderly.
I sat down weakly when I saw them leave me. Why? Why did Gerard have the heart to do this to me? Where are the promises of love that he always said since we were 16?
"Face your reality, Agatha. We know what's best for you. Admit it, Vera deserves Gerard. Surely you don't want to feel the burden of being a Luna from a great alpha like Gerard, do you? Are you good at war? No, right? After all, we have prepared you for a suitable partner."
I turned my gaze to my parents, looking at me flatly. I can't digest their words. All I know is that today is the day of the ruin of my life.
Agatha's POV
My eyes are still puffy in the morning. I didn't sleep all night thinking about the betrayal that happened. I can still imagine how they are now sleeping together in the room I usually share with Gerard.
I gave up and left the mansion's second floor, heading to a small room in the corner of the back building. This room used to be a small warehouse, but a few months ago, it was suddenly cleaned out for some reason. Maybe my parents had predicted this bad day would happen.
"What will you do after this, Agatha? I hope you don't keep lamenting the fate that has happened. You have to get up and forget everything."
"Easy for you to say that. You're my wolf, Pipe, and you should already understand what I'm feeling right now. Instead of asking me this and that, you should communicate with the wolf Gerard. Tell him to save Gerard from the snare of that bastard Vera. That's much better."
"You don't need to ask me because I already do it. What did I get? There isn't any. Gerard's wolf didn't respond to me. I'm not surprised. We both opposed each other when you and Gerard continued your relationship. We can't forbid it because that would be the same as going against what The Moon Goddess has written. Also, you look happy when you're with him. No matter how much I hate Gerard, I can't be the cause of losing your happiness."
My tears fell again, remembering how Gerard usually brought me red roses. For the first time, I was truly angry with The Moon Goddess.
"Agatha!" A knock on the door accompanied by a scream that screamed my name.
I immediately got up and found my father standing in front of the door in neat clothes, typical of wanting to go to a faraway place.
"Change your clothes now, and we will go."
"What? Where are we going, Dad? You didn't tell me we were leaving the pack today."
My father raised his eyebrows, and I hated seeing his expression like this. It feels evil and petty.
"Your ears just didn't put up with what I said yesterday. Didn't I tell you that I prepared a suitable partner for you? You have to get out of this pack soon, Agatha. I don't want other people, especially the alpha of the other pack, to think I failed to make my two daughters a Luna."
I shook my head. "I don't want to go, Dad. I'm sorry, but I need time to be forced back to know the person who will become my partner. It's not an easy thing to get out of this heartache. I hope you understand. Just once, understand how I feel, and make me your favorite child like you always did with Vera. Only this time."
I cupped my hands while asking my father to give a little understanding as well as kindness to him.
"Don't let me do anything bad again. Are you still not satisfied with getting slapped in the face? Do you still need a blush? Five minutes, if you're not ready yet, then don't blame me for dragging your body, Agatha."
My father moved while changing his form into a wolf, leaving me, who was still frozen with fear.
Who is he referring to?
"Pipes... do you know?"
"I'm sorry, Agatha. I don't know anything. You know how hard and terrible your father was. In this pack, I can't approach anyone, and everyone is difficult to penetrate. The only thing you can do is follow your father."
"Yeah, but I'm too scared. For some reason, since yesterday's incident, it seems like my parents have shown their hatred for me too clearly."
"If something bad happens, believe in your strength. I will always be there for you, Agatha."
**
After almost two hours of traveling, we arrived at the Black Land's pack area. A terrible and arrogant alpha leads the most substantial pack. It is said that each partner will die horribly. He has had a partner more than ten times.
"We're almost there. Black Land's pack mansion is not far from this border."
My father's sentence certainly raised a thousand questions. "What do you mean, Dad? We are coming to the Black Land mansion?"
"Yes, the partner I have prepared for you is Alpha Ferdinand, leader of Black Land."
Like getting lightning in broad daylight, my body suddenly felt weak. What was my father thinking? Not only scary, Black Land is a pack of Lycans. I don't want my body to be destroyed to become his partner.
"This isn't funny at all, Dad. I'm sure we're not going there." I'm still trying to calm down and put aside my father's attitude. Who would have the heart to do that to me?
It was proven that my father did not give any response other than a cynical look and continued his steps into the Black Land forest area.
I'm still sane enough to give life to the alpha he mentioned earlier. I mustered up the courage to scream. "I don't want to follow you. You're too crazy!"
Instantly my father immediately turned his body and changed into a wolf form. He was ready to hit me, and I could only surrender while closing my eyes. I'd rather die from his attacks than be tortured in the Black Land.
"Argh!"
The sound of pain made me open my eyes, and I found a man with a sturdy body standing before me. His hand went to my father, who was now in pain in his human form.
"Don't touch my partner, and only I can hurt him." The man turned to me with a wide grin.
Honestly, his face is handsome, but the look in his eyes depicts sadism. I was amazed and scared at the same time.
He suddenly pulled my hand, and he took me very quickly, exceeding the speed of werewolves in general. My father, who was lying on the ground, just left.
"Don't leave my father, and he is in pain after all!" I tried to release the grip, but it was too strong.
"You have no business with that idiot. You are already mine, Agatha. I am Ferdinand, leader of the lycan race in the Black Land pack. You are my partner, so you must obey me. You've left your father."
My heart is beating wildly. What should I do now? Was it my fate to die at Ferdinand's hands?
Ferdinand's POV
I never thought the woman that greedy old Jeremy would give me was so beautiful. You could say, I've never seen a woman with a face as calm as this. So different. I couldn't help but immediately take out my claws and scratch her smooth face.
My beast soul struggled. Her scent was too strong. She's perfect.
"Ugh!"
I threw her onto the bed. She was seen groaning in pain while trying to get up. Unfortunately, my bed was too soft, so it was difficult for her to control her body and lay weak again.
"Don't do anything to me! I ask! I don't want to be with you, and this is all just a one-sided decision made by my father!" She shouted, tears already welling up in her ocean-blue eyes.
"I don't care whether it's a unilateral or joint decision. You are already mine. The agreement that has been made cannot be canceled. If you still insist on fighting me, I will destroy the Light Eagle's pack. The only thing you need to do is sit tight and follow every order I say."
The wild feeling inside me was already burning, and I wanted to channel it to the woman in front of me immediately. I immediately took off my clothes, and I wouldn't let any time be wasted. However, just as I approached her, she changed her form into a wolf.
Yes, she intended to attack me. Of course, I restrained myself not to provoke the wildness within me to emerge. We Lycans will find it challenging to control wildness if it already comes out. I don't want to destroy this woman, and I still need her body. I must have offspring.
"Stop, I don't want to hurt you. Return to your human form."
Instead of retreating, I heard the wolf's moans getting louder. However, I could see that if she was hesitant to attack me, she defended herself so I wouldn't touch her.
To deal with something like this, I, of course, need to make threats, too. I approached the gray-furred wolf and placed my hands in front of her. I summoned the wildness within me, and slowly, my hands turned into terrible Lycan hands with long, black, and pointed nails.
"I'm sure you understand what happens if a Lycan changes. We can go crazy and destroy you in an instant. I'm here not to want that to happen. Before things get worse, then return to your human form."
As usual, I always managed to apply this threat technique to anyone who tried to attack me when I didn't want to kill someone.
But women are challenging to understand. She didn't just stop. When she returned to her human form, she instead cried while hitting my body repeatedly.
"Let me go! I ask! I don't want to be a victim of your cruelty!"
This time, I could no longer hold back the patience I had used up since he arrived. Forced, I threw a slap to silence her.
"I told you, don't piss me off. Now, you can understand what it's like to deal with a Lycan, right? I'll give you some time alone. I want when I come back, and you're not crazy anymore. If it still happens, I am very forced to grant the fear that you said earlier."
I stepped towards the door, but when my hand reached for the doorknob, she stopped me instead.
"Wait! I want to know what happened, can you explain it to me? I don't understand why my dad handed me over to you. He told me he had found a replacement for me, but I never thought it would be you. I don't mean to offend, but you are the most feared and scary alpha in the pack, especially as you are a Lycan!"
Her eyes flashed with sadness and anxiety. Honestly, for the first time in my life, I feel a little sorry for a woman. Is this weird? Clear. Why do I think this? I don't know, maybe this feeling shouldn't be answered.
"Okay, I'll explain to you. But you have to stop being crazy. It would be best if you remembered that nothing can be changed anymore. Your father has acted stupidly, collaborating with rogues who live around our forest. Your father intends to take over part of the border between the werewolf and lycan territories. Luckily, I found out and beat up your dad.
I offered him two choices: death or giving up something valuable. And he chose to give you to me. He said he had a beautiful daughter I could use to become my servant. A deal was made, and you were handed over to me. Finished. Any more questions?"
"So you're saying my father sold me out just for his sake?"
Her eyes filled with tears, and once again, my heart became very compassionate. I can feel the sadness, and it seems that she didn't expect that her father would be so bad to her.
"Yes, you could say so."
I moved from her presence, and she was still transfixed and holding back tears when I closed the bedroom door. I was only a few steps away from the room, and sobbing began to be heard. She screamed violently, frightened.
At first, I wanted to ignore it, but the longer it continued, the more it bothered me. I hated hearing a woman cry, so every time I killed my partners, I would take them to the dark forest with their mouths gagged and their eyes taped. Yes, I was that sadistic when I spent many women's lives.
And the way I chose to keep Jeremy's daughter quiet was to make her unconscious. I immediately returned to the room, and when I entered, she tried to block me from approaching her.
"Shut up, and I just want to calm you down." I grabbed her hand and used my powers to get her under my influence. Slowly, her body fell limp, and I immediately laid her on the bed.
"Don't kill me... I beg you..." she said quietly, her eyes getting watery.
"No one wants to kill you, and I'm helping you. I still need you, and chances are you won't end up like the many women who have been my partners. And by the way, what's your name?"
"Agatha... Agatha."
Right after she said her name, those two beautiful eyes closed. Her face was so calm, and her beauty emerged even more when she slept. Honestly, the turmoil inside me was getting more robust, and I wanted to touch her body immediately. It doesn't matter to me, but I feel like it will only add to her burden if, when she wakes up, she realizes I've enjoyed her body.
Maybe today is when I become an excellent Lycan and can understand others. Agatha must be lucky, and she received a lot of kindness from me just a few hours after we met.
