CARLISLE.

　　Walking round the pack with Owen leading the way, my head wouldn't stop thinking about my so-called mate Damon, his look, his smiles. Noticing my sudden change of mood Owen looked at me and decided to speak to me. He has been talking to me but I was absent minded. "My lady, what's wrong, I have been talking but it seems your mind isn't with me."

　　Shaking my head, I flashed a smile at him and he nodded before crooking my hand with his. "Wow! This garden looks beautiful, I'm amazed."

　　Looking round the garden filled with beautiful roses and flowers, they were well streamed, releasing my head from Owen's grip, and walking to a particular rose which seemed to catch my attention.

　　Bending a little bit low with Owen behind, I could feel his lustful stare at my back figure, pluck the rose and smile sniffing the gorgeous scent which lingered in the rose.

　　"Who owns this garden or who does it belong to?"

　　To me the garden looks like it was specialized for someone. "It's only for the Alpha and the maids aren't allowed because you are the future Luna that's why you can venture to this length."

　　Nodding at his reply, I tuck the rose into my pocket, heave out tiredly and he looks at me, with my expression he would know I am tired. "I think that is enough for today, take me to my room, I am really tired, thanks for the tour tho, you make me feel better and relieved."

　　Even though I was lying I just have to say it to make him feel good, it is not an easy task to take someone round this pack, the pack seems to be very big.

　　"Thanks."

　　Proceeding into my room, I lock the door, pull off the princess gown on me, and slump hard on the bed heaving out tiredly. Standing up on the bed with various thoughts flowing in my head. I am really leaving this pack. Not my fault but I have to leave. Feeling guilty of leaving this pack, I don't really know if leaving is the good and right decision, they were all nice to me, showing my care and affection that I wasn't able to get from my so-called mother, even though I am not yet their Luna.

　　I don't really know what to do, it seems my head is messed up. Ruffling my head angrily and tiredly, I reach for the cold cup of coffee on the table, gulp down the content quenching my thirsty throat. The coffee was brought to me by the maid but I didn't drink due to the constant thinking.

　　But nevertheless I have to leave this pack at all cost, I don't really want to stay even though my instincts wouldn't stop haunting me. What would Damon really think of me, like I am an ungrateful being. Emerald would also feel hurt discovering I am leaving after the love and care she showered on me.

　　Lying on the bed, I close my eyes trying to take a nap, I have to get prepared for tomorrow, because by this time tomorrow I would be out of this pack.

　　DAMON.

　　Pacing around in my room, I ruffle my head with different thoughts roaming in my head, my heart is aching in pain. I just can't really believe that she is actually leaving the pack, leaving my heart broken. I can't really take it for her to leave me, it took me over a hundred years to find my mate and now she wants to leave me without giving any reason. What have I done wrong to her to deserve this?

　　My inner wolf growls angrily at the thought of my mate leaving us alone mate less, I think I have to persuade or convince not to leave even to still ask her the reason why she chose to leave the pack without any reason.

　　Wearing a casual shirt which exposed my muscular abs, I walked out of my room. Kieran was at the front of the door, he wanted to go with me but I instructed him to stay alert in front of my room.

　　Getting to her room, I breathe out with my heart beating really fast. I have never been this nervous, I have to make my mate stay at all cost. Knocking on the door gently, I heard her angelic voice which requested who was at the door.

　　"It's me Damon."

　　Holding the knob of the door, I push it and walk my way into her room, looking up as her gorgeous scent hits my nose. My jaw dropped as my eyes met with her slightly exposed flawless body. She was only on a towel with water dripping from her body. It seems she just took her bath.

　　My dick hardened and my wolf growl trying to take control of me as I stared at her exposed laps which look enticing, I was able to control my wolf. Am not here for this right now.

　　"Why are you here?"

　　My heart sliced into pieces as she asked the question coldly, her face seemed to be very cold, no atom of any expression on her face.

　　Looking at her face, I returned my gaze to my chest as her eyes landed on my chest, she must be staring at my manly exposed abs. I know she isn't as strong as she is trying to be, I don't really know what to do. She looks away as I stare into her eyes.

　　Walking toward her, closing the distance between us, I crook her hand into mine, I could feel her breath on me which I am sure she would feel mine on her. She pulled her hand away from my grip. "Why are you here?"

　　This time her voice seems to be very cold. Oh! No, what am I really going to do? Placing my hand on her shoulder, I took the bold step and spoke up. "Carlisle what really happened, I know both of us haven't got to know each other better but why did you suddenly change toward me, you are my mate and I can't afford you to leave please can you tell me the reason why you want to leave, if you leave I don't think I can leave, have waited for hundred of years looking for my mate and now have finally found you but you want to leave why?"

　　Crooked my hand into her head, but this time she didn't pull her hand away, she was only staring at my face.

　　She leaned her face forward and I also leaned forward to kiss but retreated as I remembered that is not the reason why I am here. If she becomes my Luna I would do plenty of this.

　　"I don't owe you an explanation, I'm leaving tomorrow and nothing is stopping me from making my final decision, thanks for your care and hospitality."

　　Pulling her hand away from my hand, she turned her back against me, my dick suddenly hardened as I stared at her back figure.

　　"But why can't you understand me, I really don't want you to go, please."

　　Sounding emotional, even at that she wouldn't bulge.

　　"I don't have anything to understand, I don't mind if you would take your leave."

　　My heart froze at that moment, walking to the door, I pushed the door open and dashed into the forest beside the pack. It wasn't the evil forest.

　　I usually go there whenever I feel down, I growl out angrily venting my anger at the moon. I pull off my shirt with my eyes gleaming crimson red. Running toward a rock, I ball my hand into fist and raise it up, slam it hard on the rock which broke into pieces with blood oozing out of my hand.

　　Sitting on the bare floor covered with glasses, I rub my hand on my chin thinking of a possible reason which can cause her to decide to leave the pack. I snickered softly as the words of the old witch flickered in my head.

　　I held part of her words, she said Carlisle is going to be turned against me as my mate but when I got there to the troll's kingdom, she was the one who transported us back to the pack. I was surprised as the creature in the throne room didn't interfere, not because they were afraid of me. Or is that part of their plans that she should come to the pack with me and come back to them leaving me mate less. I don't really under this shit any more. No matter what, I won't let her slip from my fingers.

　　Shoving my fingers into my hair, I turned back as I heard the rustling sounds of the dry leaves, looked up and my eyes met with Kieran who was at a distance dashing toward my direction. But I told him not to come or follow me. What's really wrong with him?

　　"Why are you here, though I told you not to come over?"

　　He bowed his head immediately as my voice sounded cold which carries authority. His gaze was fixed at the floor, he was scared to stare at my red crimson eyes.

　　"I have a message for you from the council elders."
