Claiming The Hidden Alpha✔️

Chapter 33

Erica

I was pacing to and fro in my room with a worried expression on my face. I couldn't help but wonder if Jerome would be able to survive tomorrow but on the contrary I knew for a fact that things won't go as I have planned. I knew that he hasn't improved like he should have for the past few days. It looks like things will get more fussy than I thought. I had thought that since he was a , precisely, because that's what was written in the book but it seems like I'm wrong. I couldn't help but understand what was going on.

I knew that if he was like it was stated in the book then he would have been able to improve greatly but his improvement is not like that of a warrior. I knew that all this shouldn't make me worried as I'm right now but it did. I'm worried about my mates life and not only that it was because I'm sad. I knew he wouldn't be able to keep up with the alphas with the skills he had. I have peeped on him several times and that was when he was training and not only that I knew that if I was to tell him to compete against one of my top notch warriors then he won't be able to defeat the person.

I feel scared and don't know what to do. I have clearly begged the head of the council to stop all this but he seems to be adamant on it. I knew that if I was to try or do anything funny then I might lose my life and not only that Jerome would be killed alongside me. I know that I'm the alpha of the strongest pack in the country but that doesn't mean that the councils don't have authority over me. I knew that most of the councilman packs aren't as strong as mine. I knew that most of the things I can do can't be undone by the councils but I respected the moon goddess and didn't want to break any law of hers.

  She wanted us to respect the councilman and I don't want to do anything that will warrant her anger. All alpha's and even the council men feared her. She is the reason why the werewolves still live in peace and harmony even if there is any conflict between alpha's. The moon goddess anger isn't something alpha's want but instead we want peace. We don't want to do anything that will warrant the moon goddess' anger.

  I knew that Jerome might not survive the fight but I knew for sure that if the moon goddess is in support of our relationship then things would go well just like I have always wanted but I still feel scared though. I knew for a fact that things might go wrong and that is if the moon goddess isn't in support of our relationship. I have a feeling in my gut that tells me the moon goddess is in support of our relationship. I knew with no doubt that things would go smoothly because the moon goddess had chosen him to be my mate.

  I was lost in thoughts that I didn't know when the door of my room opened. I jolted out of my thoughts when I felt the hands of somebody on my shoulder. I knew with no doubt that the person was Jerome because his scent filled my nose instantly. I turned back to look at the person and it turned out to be Jerome just as I had predicted. I smiled sadly at him knowing that I only have a small chance of being together with him. I would have been more relaxed or without worries if he turned out that he had found his powers. 

  "What's up with you being lost in thought?" Jerome asked and I sighed heavily before offering him a small smile. My ears were twitching which shows how nervous I am because of what tomorrow held. I don't know what might happen tomorrow but I don't feel comfortable knowing that.

  I knew that if there is a fortune teller who can tell or predict what will happen tomorrow, I won't be able to go. I don't want to unravel what will happen tomorrow. I feel scared that whatever I'm going to be shown tomorrow won't be what I want. I knew what I wanted to happen might not happen. I wish that something mysterious could happen and get hold of the head council, I want the thing to make him stop all that is going to happen but I knew that nothing of sort would happen and I feel bad about it.

  "I'm just worried about tomorrow, I don't know

what to expect" I said truthfully and he heaved a deep sigh before cupping my face into his hands. He turned my face to his and with that I was staring directly into his eyes. His eyes were filled with so much emotion and I could feel a tingle of excitement rushing through my skin because of our contacts. I felt the need to be close to him immediately when our eyes met. I knew that things might go wrong or different from what I expect from tomorrow but I'm everything I won't forget the sacrifice of my mate to be with me. I would always remember him and would make sure not to fall in love with anybody.

  I would make sure I do not open up to anybody and make sure I never forget him even after this lifetime. I pray that if we are to be mated together in our next lives then we should be normal pack members and not for there to be nothing stopping the both of us from becoming mates. I knew that the moon goddess must have a reason for making the both of us mates. I knew that whatever the moon goddess' reason for making the both of us mate must be for good and I pray that he should survive tomorrow and beat all the Alpha's in the duel.

I knew that it can't be possible because alpha's aren't easy nuts to crack and that they might end up killing him. I knew that I should think positive but I want Jerome to prove me wrong tomorrow. I knew that if someone isn't willing to back off in the duel then the person might get killed which I don't want for any of us. I knew that Jerome won't want to back out easily, and I knew that he might get killed.

  "You don't have to be worried. Everything would be good, I will do everything in my best to be the winner of the duel," Jerome said with an unsure look on his face. I knew that he also doubted himself, so did I, and all I wanted to see him survive. I will be glad if he was able to survive everything.

  I was lost in thoughts and I didn't know when tears started streaming down my face. Tears that I have always hid and called gold, I call my tears golden tears knowing that no one would be able to witness me crying but now my tears are now revealed to him. I didn't notice the tears which streamed down my face until it touched my tongue and then was when I tasted the salty liquid which is now on my tongue. I feel my eyes getting cloudy due to the effects of the tears in my eyes.

I was so sad that this might be our last meeting that I didn't care if he was sewing me crying, all I cared for at that moment was to cry to stupor. I want nothing other than to make all my inner wishes some true which is for all this happening to be gone.

  "Erica, don't cry things would be better," Jerome coed as he stared deep into my eyes like he could read through me with his eyes. He uses his hands to caress my face as he cleans the tears on my face which won't stop streaming down uncontrollably.

He successfully cleaned it all but I could still feel the salty taste in my mouth and all that was on my mind was what to do to stop all this. I wished that I could do something to make the head council change his mind but there is none. I could remember his words which he had said the last time I went to him. He clearly stated that there is no way he is changing his mind and that my mate would back off immediately after hearing about the duel. He told me that my mate is only after power. I knew that he doesn't trust my mate and all sorts of things but I knew that he isn't after power or anything else.

I could feel Jerome's hot breath on my face and with that I snapped my head to look at him. It was then I noticed that he was moving toward me with his lips and I have no doubt that he wanted to kiss me, and as I raised my head my lips landed on his unexpectedly.
