Chapter 6

Gemini’s POV

“Fuck!” I yelled, flipping over the side table with the vase on it.

Gavin pulled up behind me and held me in place to stop me from breaking any more stuff. “You really need to calm down, sist

“Breaking all these things won’t change anything,”

His words plainly portrayed the truth and I felt the worst of myself for being in this situation.

I can’t believe I prayed to meet this ogre again, Fuck!

I slid down the wall, my hands in my already messed–up hair.

“Why does fate always find it cool to mess with me?” My words were followed by intense sobs.

I was broken, angry and confused. My fate had been sealed, yet I hoped there was a way out of this shit. I could run away, but I could also consider myself a rogue from there on, cause he promised to do all those miserable things to my pack if I refused to be his property,

JEverything is going to be fine, trust me! It can’t always be as bad as it seems.” Gavin tried to cheer me up, but I wasn’t just having it

“Yeah, of course. But it could be worse!” Tears streamed down my face. “I just hate myself so much! If I wasn’t such a weakling, my mate wouldn’t have rejected me and I wouldn’t have to spend the rest of my life with a demon.”

Gavin pulled me closer, his jaw in my head as he squeezed me in his embrace. “After Mom, you are the strongest woman I know, Gem. You always find a way to make the best out of the bitter experiences life throws at you.”

“I admire you a lot, Gem. And I love you even more.”

“If I have to come along as a bonus package, I would. But please don’t blame yourself for any of this, it’s not your fault and will never be.”

He kissed my forehead gently and I melted in his embrace.

The creek of the door tore us apart.

“Mom!” We both called and a familiar figure emerged out of the shadows.

My brows arched as I hoped to hear good news, but rather she shook her head in resignation.

“The Elders already decided, they would take the money.”

Fresh tears burst out of my eyes at the sound of her words. I knew this was it, but deep down I wished I could just come out of this nightmare.

Morn pulled us both into a nice and warm embrace which seemed to calm me more than I expected.

We spent the rest of the time reliving old memories, the same ones I wished to remember whenever I got bored or lonely at the Lycan’s Kingdom This was it, the second to the last night I would be spending with my family.

I really wished Gavin could come with me, but I wasn’t going to let him sabotage his future alongside me, so I discouraged him from coming along.

This was my FATE and I was ready to face it head–on.

The night ran by in a sleepless blur. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling as tears silently streamed down my face. Tomorrow was the day my forty eight hour grace would be over, also the day I would leave everything behind my family, my friends, my freedom.

A faint knock on my room window broke the silence. “Gem, can I come in?” His voice was soft yet demanding

*Piene?”

I slowly got out of bed, my heart heavy with emotions. I approached the window, and Pietre’s pleading eyes met mine. “Gem, please let me in I need to talk to you.” His voice was laced with desperation, but I didn’t care.

I was still reeling from the pain he had caused me. “Go away, Pierre,” I whispered, trying to keep my emotions in check as I slid my curtains to shut

But he didn’t leave.
