CHAPTER 95
THIRD PERSON’S POV
Rosa stared at the man, who just sat still in front of her. She had been so mad at him before the war, but after she almost lost her life…. she didn’t know why it felt like it was best being with him, no matter the situation of things between them. She knew Audrey would remain in the palace with her mate, and couldn’t imagine returning to the Blood moon pack alone. Even if Audrey decided to make her stay in the palace with her, she knew she’d never really be satisfied. Not because she craved to be with Ryan or whatever, but because she felt she could only attain her full potentials by returning with him to his pack, as his Luna.
She was done being scared and closeted, she was going to take the bold step of change now. She was going to become a Luna, walk with her head high, and know what more the moon goddess had in store for her. Definitely, the moon goddess had made him her second chance mate for a reason. And surely, the moon goddess decided to spare her life, even when she had almost died during the war. It all showed that her life had more relevance than she could see.
Looking up at Ryan, she spoke up.
“I accept your offer.”
“What?” He asked, wanting to believe he didn’t hear well, considering how angry she had been about that same offer, before the war.
“I said, I accept your offer.” She repeated, looking as neutral and stoic as could be. “I would come with you to your pack as your Luna. That is what everyone knows it is.” She said, the exact same way he had told her a few days back. “But between us both, I would be nothing but your breeder. I would spread my thighs apart, for you to put your children inside me and in turn, you would give me the reins of power and leadership as your Luna. I would get the peace and respect I deserve, while you get the children you…. deserve.”
“Why?” He asked, eyeing her closely.
“Why what?” She muttered.
“Why are you suddenly accepting this? You said I had insulted you.”
“Well Ryan, it’s my choice. Except your offer is no longer on the table? Then you could just reject me and let’s get it over with all of these.”
“I wouldn’t reject you.” He shot back, before going silent. Looking at her uninterested expression, he ground his teeth against themselves. “Fine, then. It’s a deal. We would go through the terms and agreements when we return to my pack.”
“Terms and agreements?” She asked in disbelief.
“Hell yes, Rosa!” He yelled. “There needs to be specific rules lain out, for this to work. Things like making you know this is an unromantic agreement. All there is between us, is sex. As my breeder.”
“I never had the slightest thought that this was going to be romantic in anyway.” She muttered, hating the taste it left on her tongue. “It’s definitely just sex.” She grimaced internally. That was something she never planned to do again. But to get something, she had to give something. Power, admiration, wealth, and respect were things she had never had all her life.
It was only when she moved in with Audrey, did she really know what it felt like to be respected. She had never been rich either, and she honestly couldn’t wait to have all those luxurious things she used to dream of when she was younger. The coldmoon pack was one of the richest in the kingdom, and Ryan was very wealthy.
She used to think she was averagely pretty before she met Denver. But then, he made her realize she was just delusional.
‘No, he lied to us!’ Her wolf chastised, and she simply shrugged it off. Maybe when she started to live in luxury, she would be able to awaken the inner beauty within her. Hopefully.
She wanted to be admired, and loved by others sincerely. Even her own family never liked her, so she had never expected much of it from others. But after coming to the palace and seeing the kind of respect and admiration Audrey commanded, she was convinced she may be able to do the same.
“Fine, Ryan. I agree to your terms. We would definitely go through them when we return to your pack. Our pack.” She corrected herself, feeling emboldened. “If that’s all, you may as well take your leave now.”
*****
Meanwhile, over at the Logan’s chambers, Isobel stepped in. Her eyes held so much information, but she tried her best to be patient and not let it out, until she had successfully woken Audrey.
Taking the herbs from the pocket of her cloak, she rubbed it against her palms, and laid it beneath Audrey’s nose. Just then, Audrey began to move in discomfort.
She watched in horror as Heather held the blade of the knife against Rosa’s neck, and let it slither through.
“Rosa!!! No!!” She woke up abruptly, looking around. It looked like their chambers. How? They were just at the battle ground moments ago.
“Baby!” Logan rushed to her side, turning her face to his.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
“Roo…. saa!! Ro… saaa!!” She wailed, tears pouring down her eyes.
“Babe calm down.” He rubbed her back soothingly. “It’s all just a dream.”
“It’s not! I saw it happen.” She shook her head in disagreement and he released a low sigh. “She diiiieeed!! Heather killed her.” Her cries increased.
“No, she’s alive.” Layla rushed to her, a hopeful smile on her face. “She’s alive, Audrey.”
“Huh?” Audrey muttered in disbelief.
“Yes!” Layla grinned. “Keturah and Ryan had saved her. She didn’t die!”
“No?” Audrey shook her head doubtfully.
“No.” Layla smiled, pulling her into her embrace. “In fact, she had been here to check on you, couple of hours ago. Same as your little Logan.”
“My Logan.” Audrey whispered, a little bit of life reflecting in her eyes.
“Chief, please mindlink Rosa and have her come here.” Isobel demanded. “She would only fully be at rest, when she lays eyes on her.”
“Okay.” Logan nodded vigorously, quickly trying to connect with the woman. Most of all, he was thankful that his mate was finally awake.
‘Rosa!’ He called, immediately he connected with her.
‘Your majesty’.
‘Come now. She’s awake’.
Immediately he said that, their link went shut, and he figured she was already rushing down to his chambers with alacrity.
Just as Logan thought, Rosa had shown up a few minutes later, and rushed straight at Audrey.
“You’re awake.” She teared up.
“Rosa!” Audrey held her close, sniffing in her hair. “It’s real! You’re alive.”
“I’m alive!” Rosa nodded in pure happiness, pulling away to kiss Audrey on the tip of her nose. They hugged each other for a while longer, before Logan walked up to them.
“Does my mate feel better now?” He smiled, and Audrey slowly pulled away from Rosa, holding his hand.
“Thank you.” She choked out. No one may really understand the pain she felt, when she thought they had killed Rosa.
“It’s Ryan and Keturah.”
“I’m grateful.” She nodded, cleaning the tears that fell from her eyes. “How long have I been unconscious?” She asked after a while.
“3 days.”
“What?!”
“Calm down.” He muttered. “You’re fine now. You saved us all, my love.”
“The Flaming Wolf.” Audrey whispered, looking shocked. She had begun recollecting a few scenes in the battle, piece by piece. Considering how she had lost half of her self awareness when she turned, her memory seemed hazy. “It is me!” She said in disbelief.
“Yes, baby.” Logan grinned.
“No, it’s not.” Isobel suddenly said, making them look up at her in confusion.
“What do you mean Isobel?” Logan chuckled. “Weren’t you at the war?”
“Luna Audrey isn’t the Flaming Wolf.” She repeated, making Layla and Rosa look at each other in slight confusion.
“H.. how? Sh… she…” Layla was still trying to get her words together, when Isobel continued speaking.
“The Flaming wolf only reincarnates in a person who is pure, chaste, and free from the evil of this world.”
“I know you said that, but… maybe the Flaming Wolf compromised this time.” Logan reasoned.
“The Flaming Wolf is a demigoddess. It can never compromise.” Isobel smiled.
“Isobel, I don’t understand you. You speak in parables.” Logan sighed.
“The Flaming Wolf can be triggered by pain, anger, or when in danger. Audrey’s pain and anger had triggered the baby.”
“What baby are you talking about?” It was Layla who asked this time, her forehead creasing into folds.
“You all didn’t know?” Isobel asked, surprised to see that they were actually unaware.
“Know what?” Logan asked, as Audrey sat up more erectly on the bed.
“Your mate is 4 weeks pregnant.”
“What?” Audrey gasped, her hand laying on her belly subconsciously.
“The pure and chaste child in her belly, is the reincarnate of the Flaming Wolf.” Isobel revealed, a smile on her face. “You thought your mate had caused a disaster? Wait until this child comes. She is Beautiful Havoc.”
