Chapter 9: _His Reluctance
Kaene
~~
It was still hard to believe.
Impossible even.
How could a pathetic maid who I'd never once noticed before now be the Moon's Chosen? Most importantly, how could SHE be my mate?!
This had to be some sick joke from the Moon goddess. I'll be the laughing stock among the Alphas of neighboring packs.
Our Bluemoon pack was one of the most prestigious and most powerful in the world, with many packs looking up to us due to our customs and ways.
But now?
"I can't accept this... Maid as my mate." I thought to myself, gritting my teeth and squeezing the arm of my seat until I was certain it would break if I applied any more force.
My gaze traveled the hall, scanning the faces of the people—my people after Elder Gita broke the news before all of them.
I also caught a glimpse of my mother's expression, watching how her face twitched with rage and disgust as she yelled at the poor maid, who was trying to defend her brother.
