Chapter 12: _Where Is She?
"What do you mean by 'my safety', Elder Gita? Is there someone planning to kill me?" I asked, arching a curious eyebrow.
I didn't put much thought into the pack's spiritual matters and left it all to Elder Gita... But that didn't mean I wasn't a believer.
On the contrary, my strong belief in the moon goddess and her ways was what made me confused about WHY the Moon's Chosen ended up being an ordinary maid.
Anyway, Elder Gita cleared her throat, still standing in front of my desk with a somber expression on her face.
"There's no one after your life... Yet, Alpha Kaene." She blurted, looking grim. "But there will be consequences if you continue with your decision to reject your mate. Phoebe was made the Moon's Chosen for a reason and rejecting her will make her incapable of helping this pack and showing her true potential."
True potential?
What the heck was this old woman talking about?
"The Moon's Chosen of this pack and other packs from throughout history have always been young women of prestigious social standing, Elder." I began with an explanation, hoping I could get my thoughts across. "I admittedly made a hasty decision, but you have to understand what accepting Phoebe as my mate would entail."
I was hesitating with telling the older woman that I'd accepted Phoebe already. But I also wanted to gain more insight from her.
"So you're suggesting you're okay with testing the Moon goddess's wrath as opposed to accepting a 'simple' maid as your mate?" Elder Gita raised an eyebrow, seeming completely lost with my decision.
I mean, I did make a deal with Phoebe, but it was something I was still contemplating, especially because of my mother and her subtle threats.
