Chapter 5
His POV
I had always wondered why humans tried to live a different life. Especially her. She was always in her books. She wanted to live the life that she read of. I always found this amusing. That is why I had started to watch her. She was the only human that I could interact with. I could watch the others that she interacted with but she was the only human through whom I could see her realm.
I watched her every move. It was very creepy but I always made sure that I gave her the privacy that she needed. I watched her in my head. Whenever I closed my eyes I could always see her. What she was doing, thinking and even what she felt.
I could not control what happened in her life but when she came across the story that made us all what we were as of that day, I was tempted to think; for a slight second that it was fate that had brought me to her. She read the story of my origin that was not even in my own world.
I wanted to reach out to her and perhaps travel into her world. I could not.
I had been watching her for a year now. She was always chirpy. She always seemed so happy but the weight on her heart was one that even I could not carry. I had started seeing her in my dreams and at first I thought that she was just a figment of my imagination but she never left. My insomnia filled nights could now be filled with entertainment.
That night I closed my eyes. I was ready to see her again. I had started looking forward to every single night when I could see her again. I hated mornings when I had to wake up and leave her. Our times were different so as I woke up she went to sleep in her world.
"Good morning sir." A voice woke me up from my sleep.
She was reading. It was the story of my ancestry. I raised my finger to my assistant keep him quiet. It was the first chapter. The line read; -my true nature took everything away from me- then she dozed off. I could not see any more.
I got up. I hopped that time would fly and I could see her again. I went to the living room. I hated having anyone around so I had no servants in the house. My mind was always fogged with the same question. How come I could see her in her world? It was something no one else of my kind could do. And I could only see what she saw and experienced. How was I connected to her? And just like any other day, that question went unanswered. I knew it was not because I was the Alpha of my pack do it puzzled me.
"Sir, we have to announce that you will be choosing your Luna soon to the pack today ." Gregory said
"I thought you wanted me to meet my mate." I said
"You said a year ago that you did not care for a mate and that this announcement would help you find someone suitable."
I had said that but I did not want to get a Luna at all. Not before I solved this mystery but perhaps that was just a lame excuse to put it off.
"I believe in mates now. I will find her by the end of the month." I said patting Gregory on the back.
I knew he saw right through my lies but at least that would keep him hoping that perhaps my lie would turn into the truth.
"One more month. No more, no less. If you do not find yourself a Luna in a month, I will take matters into my own hand and have you married by the next full moon."
That was a threat and a sure one at that. I knew that it was true but I was sure that he would soften in a month.
"And get ready for work. You still have to earn a living like the half human that you are!" He added yelling.
He would call me a wolf when it came to matters of my pack and then a human when it came to matters that had anything to do with work. Gregory and I had had a servant – master relationship ever since we were cubs and even though none of us would ever admit it we loved each other as friends.
I would often ask Gregory to be my friend as a cub but he would always shake his head and in his little voice say
"No I cannot master. That is not appropriate. I am born to serve you as my Alpha just like my parents were born to serve yours. It is the law of nature master."
I would then get angry and run off away from him. His answer never changed no matter how many times I asked so I simply gave up at some point.
I took a shower. As much as I hated that I could not close my eyes without seeing her. I had actually become fond of her cuteness.
Yes, I found her cute. It was inappropriate for me to even think of a human after what they had done to us all those centuries ago by banishing my ancestors but I could not help it. It was why I wanted to find out what had actually happened through the book that she was reading.
We lived in our own world but it always felt odd to live amongst humans but have our realm work different from their own. And for the first time like a lowly human the thought of a different life to the one I had crossed my mind.
