The Lost Prince (Werewolf Saga Book 4) complete

Chapter 29

I saw my mate return with a smile on his face. "Hey baby, had a nice little nap?" He asked. "Yes, I did why you ask so?" I asked. "Because Joseph told me about your little chat with him" I suddenly got afraid, last time I did it, he almost beat me to death. I also remembered Joseph's word. That he will kill anyone betrays him.

"I don't know why you think I cannot protect you Princess, was it because my recent failures as a mate? You think I will let anyone harm you my love?" He asked. "N...no" I said. "I think you doubt me or else you didn't have Joseph to tell me that you want to learn Archery." He put his hand over my shoulders. "Mon Amore in this life and next I will always be here to protect you. You are my life and I do not take any foolish chances with my life"

I frowned at this. "Why are you so against it, me learning to protect myself?" I asked. "I just don't want you to hurt yourself or the baby, now what do you want to eat?" he asked. "Anything you can make" I said not looking at him. 

"Are you angry at me Mon Amore? You need to understand all I want to do is protect you. I am an Alpha, and an Alpha's biggest strength or weakness is his Luna. You are mine." I shrugged my shoulders. "then you should put me in a glass case and label it as fragile." I was so angry at him.

He slowly turned me around. "Mon Amore, I tend to lose people from my life and I don't want to lose you to for anything. I am just being cautious." He said to me. "You don't have to, not with me. I am not as fragile as you think I am Victor." I saw him looking at me weirdly. Only later I realised he was getting a mind link from someone. Then he looked at me apologetically.

 "I know I just got home but baby I need to go Pack stuff, it is important that I deal with it now rather than later. I will back in an hour, Then I will cook some roasted potatoes and chicken in cranberry sauce. I know that what you were carving and yes, I will buy some mint chocolate chip Ice cream too" He kissed my forehead before walking out again.

I mind-linked Joseph. "I need you to find out now"

"on it my Luna"

Then I did what I do best, I waited for the intel to show up to me. I felt bad for spying on my own mate, but there is a thing call greater good and I am willing to sacrifice my Mate's false crusade to save what matters here. And saving hundreds lives is practically outwaits the charms of my happy ending with my mate. I tossed and turned on my bed, although I feel tired, I wanted to sleep, I couldn't just do it.

Soon, I heard a small tap on my window. It was a note address to me. I read it, Joseph wanted to meet me at the forest. I heard the front door open and I pulled the duvet over me. I pretended to sleep. It was his scent that gave him in, musk and wood with a hint of sea. I felt his hand over my hear stroking my hairs. He kissed my forehead and said 

"I know I am letting you down again and again. But I promise you after this is over, it will be you and me against the world Mon Amore. Just one last thing I have to do." He said.

He kissed my forehead again and I held his arm. "Why cannot you tell me what it is all about Victor?" I asked. Victor looked at me and said "I am afraid I cannot share it with you. It is my burden too bear." 

"Am I not your other half Victor why cannot I bear half your burden. Why I cannot know what my own mate is hiding from me?" I asked almost up from my bed. "Because I cannot tell you," His voice changed and I was suddenly very afraid.

His eyes were soulless black. His canines were out, He looked not like the person I used to know. I scooted back from him. I am afraid of him. I am afraid for my unborn child and my son. He closed his eyes and pulled me close to him. I remain stiff at my position.

 He sniffed my neck and opened his eyes. Too afraid to look at him again. "Please don't hate me. Please Mon Amore, I am begging you" I looked at his brilliant grey eyes. "Then tell me exactly what you are playing at, is it that you are cheating on me?"

"Baby no, I can never cheat on you in my worst nightmares" I pulled away from him and stood at a little distance. "Tell me Victor or I will walk away from you this time it will be a forever." I don't know what made me say that, but I am willing to do what it takes for me to save my mate. And save innocent lives at the same time.

He shied, "you don't really mean that do you Mon Amore, because I will not hesitate to tie you to this bed and lock it under twenty four seven watch." I was not in mood of jokes right now. "Victor tell me what is going on with you. I need my mate most right now, and he is bailing on me rather than helping me. And I want to know the reason behind it. " I said crossing my hand over my chest. "Tell me please"

"I am planning an attack on my father's territory. I am old enough to challenge him for the position of rogue King. I want to get out of here, make a better future for us. A future that is only bright, and filled with every comfort imaginable. This is what I wanted to do from a long time, show my father that I am always and forever better than him, He took every thing from me confined me to this pack, Dark pack had been my personal hell but I turned it into my heaven. And now he must pay for what he did to me"

All I can see was the signs of old victor in him and it frightens me to my core. I put my hand on my stomach. "Don't you see it, he must fall, his kingdom must fall and he must beg for his life on his knees, only then this vengeance will survive. Only then My life's goal will be complete. I will destroy everything he loves, everything he stands for" I don't know this victor. He is not the mate I fell in love with.

He turned to face me. "You do understand right? You do understand why I need to do it right Baby?" he asked. I nodded still afraid. I know what I must do. And it is something Victor will never approve of. "you will not leave me, alone right? You will be with me, right? You will love me, right?" I nodded again. He pulled me close and kissed me. "I love you more than my life Mon Amore, it you are not here by my side I will be so lost" He pulled me close into his arm and kissed me. Then slowly he pushed me to bed.

That night he made love to me, not rushed, not in hurry and I loved him back with all I had, because I don't know if I can do that again after tonight. As the night faded and it was almost day I contacted Joseph and asked him if he had arranged my transport. He reported to me back immediately.

I kissed Victor for the last time. Tears threaten to spill from my eyes but I controlled them, controlled myself. Why it is always have to be me? "I am sorry my love" I whispered. I picked up Dante from his bed. As I neared the pack borders everything in me wanted to run back into Victor's arms.

I met Joseph at the end of the territory. He was there with a jeep filled with supplies for few days. "Luna, I know it is necessary to stop Alpha, but he will be enraged once he know where you have gone." "I know Joseph, thank you for your help. Make sure he does not kill himself over me." Joseph nodded.

I started the engine and drove out slowly on the dirt road. As I reached quite distance I heard distance howls ripping through the air, one painful howl particularly and that broke my heart all over again.
