CHAPTER 5
"But why? She's your mate, right? I just saw…." The guy standing started but was cut off by Oscar. Who is this man that can talk back at him because I can't seem to find the courage to do so or am I just overwhelmed?
"Not another word from you, Salvo", Oscar said bitterly to the guy who he just called Salvo. Wait, that name sounds familiar but I can't place it. Okay I think am overwhelmed, I need to get myself together and understand what is going on.
"Oscar, you…" Salvo started but I couldn't wait to keep on listening to their banter.
"Should I sit or should I leave?" I interrupted while turning my gaze from Oscar to Salvo while Salvo looked indecisive. Oscar looked at me, gesturing with his hand for me to sit. I walked in and sat down. I felt like I was a fountain of emotions. Breathing in and out a few times brought me back to reality. I realized immediately that this attitudes Oscar was displaying were that of rejection but why? Wasn't he just happy when we met a few minutes ago?
"Why do I feel like you don't want to accept me as your mate? Is there something I did?" I asked a bit confused. The office was silent you could even hear a pin drop. "Can you please say something, I don't even know how to feel right now", I said a bit frustrated.
"Luna be …"
"Do not call her that", Oscar interrupted Salvo with anger in his voice.
"Then talk to me. You can't act like you're the only one involved in this. Where do I stand here?" I asked calmly with fear evident in my voice, selling my anxiety out to them.
"You and I can't be together. It can't work for either of us", he replied briefly not even looking up at me.
"Why? A few minutes ago you were so happy seeing me. I saw it in your eyes and I could feel it too", now I know why I felt overwhelmed, our feels collided.
"This discussion is not up for a debate. My decision is final", he said bitterly but I needed a clear answer.
"Oscar you are not …"
"Salvo, I would like it if you stayed out of this, please, grazie", Oscar interrupted Salvo.
"I don't think you should be the only one to decide in this matter because it concerns two of us. Please, tell me what changed because I could swear by the Moon Goddess that you were happy. I don't …" I said at the point of tears. I shouldn't have rejoiced before I even knew what the outcome would be. How could I have thought that the Moon Goddess would uplift me?
"My wolf couldn't sense yours. Apparently you don't have any and I am an Alpha, I cannot be with a Luna who doesn't have her wolf. What exactly am I protecting, you or the pack?" he interrupted me as always. He sounded disoriented and I could feel it. Salvo just kept on pacing like he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"My wolf shouldn't be an issue. It would come out sooner or later. The mate bond should be the most important thing here not my wolf because it would soon be out. You know how it is when you meet your mate, the mate bond ignites and if we don't try to grow and nurture it we practically die slowly without each other and I …" I started as few tears dropped down my eyes. The one problem I have no solution to is the reason am about to lose my mate.
"Your wolf is the issue here and of what use is this stupid mate bond?" he said bitterly looking me in the eyes like he couldn't feel a thing.
"You called what we shared a moment ago stupid? Alpha Oscar I could practically feel your emotions then and even now too and you can't deny the fact that you can feel it too", I said as silent tears rushed down my eyes.
"The connection means nothing without your wolf don't you get it? I am an Alpha, I need a strong mate so does the pack need a strong Luna", he said dead serious with an emotionless look on his face. I couldn't believe he could act this heartless to his own mate. I thought the said mates were the most important for Alphas because they would die slowly with more pain than other wolves. Moon Goddess, please don't let this happen to me.
"Oscar, I think you need to have a rethink. You can't possibly be thinking about…" Salvo started as the door to the office was opened and a young beautiful lady walked into the office like she owned it. She was quite elegant I must say.
"What's going on here and why is this filthy thing seated here?" she said unmannerly referring to me as dirt. I saw the way the room got quiet when she spoke but what broke my heart was when Oscar did nothing. What am I even supposed to refer to him as right now because am lost. "Am I not talking to living creatures?" she asked rudely when no one answered her. I cleaned my tears not wanting to give her the benefit of the doubt.
"Adele I'm in the middle of something very important here, this is not the time", Oscar said looking so unclear with his emotions and I could feel it. I felt like I was in the midst of a storm of emotions. I was feeling confused, disoriented, mad, and sad and confused at the same time and the only feeling that happens to be mine is that of sadness.
"The only thing that seems to be important is the fact that this filth needs to leave here now", she stated with a look of disgust on her face.
"This filth as you say is a very important person here and you don't want to be on the blacklist of people opposing her", I heard Salvo say angrily which surprisingly made me feel a bit better. I mean if my mate wouldn't talk someone else has to.
"She can't be more important to you or anyone else in your pack because I would be your future Luna very soon", she said with a sneer on her face. This statement of hers made me feel like someone pierced a blade through my heart. So she was the reason Oscar had an option to pick from. She was the reason he had to think twice about my 'not having a wolf' situation.
