Chapter 26


    "Sihana Asena." I was staring at Cahir who had an indiscernible expression on his face. "You have


    arrived."


    The minute the nended on Alpha Blood pack, I felt both cold and heat rush through me. One


    could tell the strength of a pack''s Alpha from the ambience of theirnd. I had gotten used to the


    ambience in Silver Moon pack but once I stepped foot on Alpha Blood, I felt power m into me.


    At the airport, I could tell who belonged in Alpha Blood and who did not. The Alpha Blood members


    moved around with natural grace while the rest of us trod with care and caution, overwhelmed by


    the power in the atmosphere.


    Now, I stared at the man whose power made the air stifling.


    "Alpha Cahir Perseus." I had arrived and I felt nothing but deep loathing in the depths of my heart.


    While my wolf purred in satisfaction at being close to her mate once again, the human in me felt


    nothing but anger sprinkled with anguish.


    "Follow me." He turned and walked into a ginormous house evenrger than the pack house in


    Silver Moon.


    The inside of the house was decorated with gold and white. A line of people stood at the sides of


    the entrance with their heads bowed. These people ranged from alphas to omegas but all wore


    white and ck uniforms.


    "Wee." They said in a resounding chorus as we entered, walking past their created pathway.


    At the end of the dozens of people bowing was Aristo with a man and woman standing on either


    side of him.


    "You''re here." Aristo beamed at me. He took a step forward with his arms open for a hug but Cahir


    blocked him with a faint rumble emitting from his chest. "Wee to Alpha Blood pack." He said to


    me with a grin. "Cahir was insufferable without you."


    "Enough!" Cahir barked. "Lauretta, Antonio, this is Sihana, my mate. You will show her around and


    help her settle in." He spoke to the two people standing by Aristo. The man and woman bowed so


    low as if they were trying to bend into two.


    "Wee, Luna Sihana." They both chorused. "We have prepared a room next to the Alpha''s for


    you," the woman said.


    "She will be staying with me," he deadpanned. The people paled but nodded without another word.


    Cahir turned to me with a ticked-off expression on his face. "Rest, you must have had a long trip. I


    have a meeting to attend so I''ll see you in an hour." He beckoned Aristo to him and they both left


    me standing there, staring at the people tasked to help me settle in.

    "I don''t have any luggage," I said when the people continued to stare at me, no doubt expecting me


    to take the lead with the conversation. These people called me Luna – My skin tingled as I


    remembered how the word ''Luna'' sounded put before my name.


    Since I was all but kidnapped from my pack, I had no luggage. Technically, I was not kidnapped as


    Kamal and his gang graciously offered to let me go if I didn''t want to leave Silver Moon. They told


    me they would deal with the consequences of failing a mission but they were too kind for me to put


    them through that hassle. I hadn''t even had any means of identification for flight but they made


    some calls while driving at a neck-breaking speed and after six hours of driving, we met up with a


    dude that provided me with an identification card from Silver Moon.


    "The Alpha anticipated that. He hired people to do some shopping for you. They should be here in


    two hours or so." The woman said. She was a short, greying woman with kind eyes that made me


    rx.


    "I am Beta Lauretta, the head of the maids here. You can call me Laura. This is Alpha Antonio, the


    butler. We all call him Tony." She gestured to the tall wiry man at her side.


    An alpha as a butler and a beta who looked like she came from old money as a maid in what could


    only be described as a castle.


    "Nice to meet you both." My voice trembled as I spoke. "Is this – Is this the pack house?"


    I looked around me, to the gigantic pirs with detailed designs, the rug underneath my feet with


    varying shades of gold, thick and rich, the foliage I passed outside and the grand spiralling steps in


    front of me, I felt as if I had stepped into a fantasy movie.


    "No, this is the Alpha''s home." My jaw dropped open and Laura smiled. "It is beautiful, isn''t it?" I


    nodded like a fool as she led the way up the stairs with golden rugs and a bannister that sparkled so


    much I feared to touch it.


    As we went up the stairs, Laura gave me a short history of the ce. It had been built in the


    eighteenth century by the then Alpha who willed it to his son, the Alpha after him. Since then, the


    castle had be known as the Alpha Castle and it belonged to whichever Alpha ruled the pack.


    Tony pushed open arge wooden double door and led me into Cahir''s room. I thought the reserved


    room at the top floor of the Silver Moon''s pack house was a grand sight but what awaited me here


    was nothing short of perfection. It was at least three times the size of the reserved room in our pack


    house.


    The far corner had a round bed big enough to fit six peoplefortably. A thick dark rug covered


    the centre of the room with thick curtains blocking out the sun. There were bedside desks made


    from dark wood with whitemps on them. A corner of the room had floor-to-ceiling shelves with a


    desk and a chair next to them. At a wall close to me was a shelf with medallions and at the far end


    of the room was a sliding ss door I knew led to a balcony


    Laura showed me to the bathroom and helped me work theplicated shower heads.


    "The pack just had lunch so I''ll tell the kitchen to whip up something for you to eat. You must be


    starving," she said. "You can take a shower before then."


    When she left the room, I flopped down on the bed. I had slept throughout the ne ride here –


    after I got over my mind-crushing fear of being in the air – but my bones were still jelly.


    What was I doing here? What was Cahir''s n? Why sell me off then bring me back? Did he have a


    change of heart or was this part of his n from the start? It could not be a coincidence.


    I went to the bathroom for a shower. Taking off my clothes, I let the warm water wash away the dirt


    and grime from my body. I had not had a shower in over forty-eight hours and during that time, a lot


    had happened.


    With no products of my own, I ended up using Cahir''s. My wolf sighed at the familiar scents while I


    felt self-conscious knowing I would smell like him.


    "We will smell like him forever once he marks us," my wolf reminded me with a happy sigh as I


    shampooed my hair.


    Mating with such a cruel man?


    I had the whole journey here to think on it – Could I go through with it? At this point, knowing the


    kind of man he was, a man who could go back on a blood contract, I wasn''t sure if I would survive


    as his mate.


    "Don''t think anything stupid, Sia!" My wolf growled at me. "We will wear his mark. Don''t even think


    of depriving us of a mate!"


    Asena would not understand – Cahir was a menace. Look what he did to us! She raved and


    threatened as I washed and dried myself, continuing to do so as I stepped out of the shower.


    I held my towel a bit tighter when I walked back into the room to see Cahir sitting on the bed. My


    heart leapt and then fell when he looked up at me. His eyes darkened and his tongue snaked out to


    wet his lips.


    "Are you done with your shower?" His raspy voice did weird things to me but I refused to be swayed


    by the sudden lust coursing through my veins from his heated gaze. "Can you talk?"


    "I can talk," I answered in annoyance. "You – Why did you bring me here?" I clutched my towel


    harder as he got out of bed and walked to stand before me. I had to strain my neck to see his face


    due to his proximity and height. His eyes – The look in them electrified me.


    "We will talk but first, I have to im you." His sultry voice had my heart galloping and my wolf


    purring. I held my towel tighter as he reached for it. "Let go for me, Sihana."
