Effie's POV
I got bored while listening to Reon's story, but immediately he called my name. I had to put together all that he'd said and they all linked very well to me.
My dad had a farmhouse and he had brought a strange man at a certain time, who looked homeless and gave him an accommodation in one of the rooms.
My blur visions started coming back vividly. Why couldn't I remember his face?
I can remember when he introduced himself to my dad, he said his name was Raul not Reon.
I recall the day he said he knew my dad.
I didn't know how to feel at the moment. Tears filled my eyes ready to flow, he made me this way and turned my own people against me.I didn't know If it was to keep hiding to hear how he turned me or to go and kick his ass right there where he was, if I could.
No, I had to confront him myself. And so I came out of my hiding spot, charging towards Reon. I could see the shock on his face but I didn't mind. He had to tell me how he turned me or I was going to disrupt this whole "mate" plan.
I'm sure Torin was already trying to process what Reon had told him.
"How could you do this to me? What were you thinking when you turned me? You didn't only hurt me but also my people." I said as tears ran down my cheek.
I could see the emotions in Reon's eyes but I needed an explanation. He needs to explain to me why he chose me as his mate when I didn't even ask for it. Is this how they do when seeking a mate?
"I really am so sorry, Effie. It wasn't my decision to turn you. I had waited for my mate to come to me, after a long time of waiting I decided to search by myself. You kept calling for me for a very long time. So I had to do what I had to do, I'm so sorry it went down that way. We were destined by the moon goddess to be soulmates." He said calmly, trying to wipe my tears away. I refused him, I'm so mad at him at this point.
I turned and saw Torin staring at the both of us quietly, I didn't like how he saw me cry. It felt like I was so vulnerable.
Torin, now aware that his presence disturbed me, looked at Reon " let me leave you guys at it, Reon, you have enough explanation to do." he said shortly before heading back to park house.
We were silent for a moment after Torin left. I didn't just know what to say.
All these while, I was mated to an alpha's son. I couldn't wrap my head around it.
"Tell me exactly how you turned me." was all I said as words were hard for form.And then he began narrating
"When your dad introduced me to you, I had the strong urge to mark you, I tried avoiding you for days but you were always coming around. It was like you felt our connection. The last time I spent with you when you were a human was at the nightclub, we drank so much we were tipsy, we got so carried away, one thing led to another, we made out a little…" he said.
"Then what?" I said with a shaky voice. I didn't want my mind to dwell in that statement.
How come I couldn't recall all these?
"It didn't take long after we both marked each other, you passed out…"
"I marked you?" I asked, cutting him short
"Yes, here" he said, as he showed me the glowing mark on his neck, and then i remembered i have that same mark on my neck too.
"You said I passed out, why?" Yes, the mark was too strong for you to withhold because you were human, so you passed out in the club. I had to take you home and lie to your dad that you had too much to drink and slept off. And with that, I went back to my world, that was the last time I saw you, until I met you in the forest."
"I couldn't tell your dad the truth of what went down that night. He would have been so angry at me. I'm sorry Effie."
At this point, a lot of thoughts ran through my mind, i had other questions I needed to ask him, but I swallowed them, deep down my throat. What had been done, had been done, there was nothing I could do to change anything. I would be lying if I said I didn't like Reon. A lot.
I could see the whole emotions displayed on his handsome face, i'm glad he felt remorse for what he did to me. He had his head down, admirring whatever he saw on the ground.
"I forgive you, Reon." I said, wiping a few drops of tears on my eyes. "I can't remember all this you've told me, but your sincerity shows you're worth being forgiven," I said, putting on a mild smile.
Reon's eyes shone like someone who has been awarded a huge token. I could see the joy and relief in him, I love to see him this way. He gave a deep sigh of ease.
"I thought you'll never want to look at me again, thank you so much Effie, sorry, my beautiful mate." he said with delight.
"Its okay big guy, at least now we aren't decievig your dad anymore." I said giving him a cute smile.
"To you, I was deceiving him. To me, I was showing my dad the only one my heart beats for. From the first time I saw you, you captivated my soul and now, I don't think I want you out of my sight. For a long time, I kept denying the feeling of being alone, without my mate, and now that I have you, my nights will be peaceful, knowing that you're here with me." he said, pulling the tendrils off my face. He leaned in and gave me a long passionate kiss, our teeth crushed together with our tongues coiling. Not only is my mate strikingly handsome but he's a great kisser.
We pulled away , looking into each other's eyes.
Reon held my hands in his and made love confessions to me saying; upon the moon and the stars, I will love you unconditionally, I'll give you my heart, my love, my body, and my wealth, any other thing you think of. My Luna.
