Someone! Anyone! Please… open this f_cking door! Open it! Andrew! Andrew please save me! Andrew please, don’t let them take me. Don’t… let him take me. ” She fell to the ground, leaning against the door.
Lunara could hear the voice of Hanley from her room, and she suspected Ace’s return with his mate wasn’t a good one.
Luckily she met him on his way to his room. ” Ace!” She called.
” Mother, not now.” He kept on walking.
” Ace!” She called again, angrily. ” You don’t walk out on me when I am talking to you! ”
He stopped walking.
” Is that how you treat your mate? Someone you just brought in newly into your home?”
” I think she needs to calm down. ”
” And you think locking her in her room is the best way to calm her down? ”
” I don’t think I care about that. ” He said, nonchalantly.
” No, you have to because she is your mate. ”
” I haven’t forgotten about that. ”
” I have to speak to her. ” She said.
” No one is seeing her until I say so. ” He finalized.
” Ace, what has gone over you this morning? ” She sked, noticing his rude contenance.
” Nothing, mother. She is my mate, and I have every right to punish her the way I want. And that, that is just a minor punishment for her. I think she should be grateful. ”
” Grateful? ‘ she scoffed. ” There is nothing to be grateful for that. What you did is unfair, and you think you are giving her a chance to understand you? ”
” That will be my problem some other time. Right now, I don’t mind if she h@ťěs me or not. I need some rest. ” He walked away, not minding how annoyed his mother had become.
Two days passed, Hanley refused to eat nor drink anything.
Ace was having a meeting with his councils, including his mother. A maid had come to report to Donald about Hanley’s case.
Donald then went to report it to Ace. On hearing this, he looked at his mother who had evesdropped on the conversation using her wolf ability.
She eyed him, staring at the councils, pretending like what they had just said never bothered her.
She went to her room, annoyed. Even when they were together, in the same room or having dinner, she would say no word to him.
When they were in a serious meeting, and the Luna’s opinion is needed, Lunara will refuse to say a word.
It was dawn to every one of them that the Luna wasn’t in good terms with her son.
On the third day, Ace decided to open the door. As soon as Lunara heard of this, she went to his study room.
” I thought you wouldn’t open the door for her.” She said.
” I remember saying I was punishing her and not locking her forever. ” He said, not sparing her a glance.
” So can I see her now?”
He rose his gaze at her. ” You are free to.”
Without hesitating, she left to Hanley’s room.
At the first two knocks, Hanley didn’t give a reply so Lunara decided to walk in.
” Hey,” she said, making her way in. ” Can I come in?” She asked.
” You’re already in, what’s the point asking.” Hanley said, her eyes staring out of the window.
” Mind if I sit? ” Hanley ignored her.
Lunara kept standing. ” My name is Lunara, I am Ace’s mother.” Hanley turned her gaze to the young woman, who looked like she was in her early forties.
One may even mistake her to be his elder sister. She was so beautiful, and Hanley admired her at first sight.
” Ace told me a lot about you.” She said, trying to get her attention. ” He said s…”
” I wanna go home.” She cuts her in.
” I know, and I really understand how it feels to be taken away from the people you love. And I sincerely apologise for his rude behavior towards you. I’ll try talking to him. ”
” You don’t have to. ” She says. ” He won’t listen to you. It will never change the fact that he is so heartless and wicked and… everything. I just h@ťě him! ” She said, raising her voice high and not minding if he was hearing her.
Lunara sighed, not knowing what to say. ” I am so sorry for this.”
” Can we not talk about him, please. I don’t think wh@ťěver you say about him will ever convince me. ” She sternly said.
” Okay. I will tell you about myself. Mind if I sit down now?”
Hanley finally nodded. ” I was just like you when I was so little.” She started. ” I had the same fate as you. I was marked when I was just fifteen. ”
” Really? ” Hanley was surprised.
” Yes. Ace’s father came two days later to take me, I could have fled away like you did because I was so little to understand what love was.
My mates were still under their parents care while I was about to be taken away. It was as if my father ready mind, he confined me in my room and it was so much impossible to escape from my destiny.
I knew that no matter what, I was gonna embrace it one day. Now, why am I saying this to you? No matter how far we run from our destiny, it always have a way to find us.
I know you don’t like anything about us, but I hope that one day, you will.”
” I h@ťě your son doesn’t make me h@ťě you or anyone. I will try my best to accept this new life but I am sorry to say this, I don’t think I will ever forgive your son for what he did to me. ”
Lunara nodded. ” I do understand. And no one is gonna force you to. So, ” changing the topic. ” Would you mind having dinner with me tonight? ” She requested.
” I wouldn’t. ” She replied.
” Great. But first, I need you to take a good shower, get those clothes changed to a new one. I’ll send in your maid to help you get dressed. ”
” I have a request too. ” She requested.
” Go ahead, then. ” She permitted.
” I don’t wanna dine with your son. ” She said.
Lunara smiled. ” You have my word. ”
” By the way, thanks for checking on me. ” She said gratefully.
” It’s nothing, dear. I’ll be expecting you at the dinning room. See you at eight.” She waved a smile at her before leaving the room.
