Chapter 38
Daniel raised a hand, finally having gotten enough. It was clear who that prophecy was meant for. He didn’t know what had happened and why there was a mixup but Dora wasn’t that clueless. Did she really think she was a Kitsune?
“I’ve known you for years. Seen you shift and live amongst us werewolves for years without feeling different. And suddenly you’re a Kitsune?” If not that he was already pained and bitter, he would have chuckled into her face. “Tell me…did he also mention to you that werewolves couldn’t sense a Kitsune’s prescence…just like you couldn’t sense the impostor’s presence today.” Without waiting for her to even part her lips to say a word, he began climbing up, freezing when she finally said.
“But… that… maid… Naomi did.” A small chuckle was heard and he squeezed his fist, not bothering to look back and just let her finish with whatever nonsense she was going to say.
“You think I don’t know who that prophecy was meant for?” Her dark voice resounded in his ears and he turned to the source of the voice not believing it was Dora’s. It was so devious and laced with a lethal tone. But she was still standing there, arms folded, a smirk having replaced the deep frown on her face.
Suddenly her arms fell to her sides and he felt stunned seeing the big droplets of water falling down her big green eyes; rolling down her cheeks.
“Did you really think I was that stupid to believe I was a Kitsune…that I was some fox…some almost-extinct creature I don’t even know about p>
“So if you knew that, why did you lie to me at first. What are you aiming at Dora? You and I know we can never be mates and I will never accept you as my Luna or anyone else”
“Except Naomi of course” She chuckled again and in one swift move wiped away the tears off her face, looking up at him with an evil glint in her eyes. “I’ve seen the way you look at her and I’m sick of it She snapped, feeling so irritated.
Before Daniel was a villainess, showing all her true colors at once. Sure he knew she was unkind, rude and a bit clingy towards him, he hadn’t had a clue she could be…this!
“The Shaman’s already made his prophecy so now you’ll have to make me your Luna and inform everyone about it. About the prophecy…of course, leaving out the ridiculous part about me being some weird fox”
He finally laughed. A bitter hard long laugh such that when he was done, a vein had popped on her forehead and her eyes were twitching convulsively like she wanted to explode.
“You’ve been starved all afternoon till so late at night. I’m sure that’s why you’re acting so crazy and really stupid. Do you have any idea what you’re suggesting?” He half turned, ready to leave. “Like I’d even make someone like you my Luna if the prophecy was really true p>
She fisted her hands at her sides as she watched him walk away.
Her next words however stopped him in his tracks.
“Then I guess you wouldn’t mind me confessing to everyone about the prophecy.” Daniel turned to her with a sharp gaze, eyes narrowed ready to lash out at her. However she was not done. Slowly caressing the railings, she swayed her hips seductively as she walked up the steps to stand just one staircase down from him. Her other hand slowly traced the line of his shirt down to his neatly bent back colar before sliding down her hand against his chest once more, her eyes not leaving his. “Oh don’t worry. I’ll tell them who the prophecy was really meant for…about you and Naomi being fated mates, about your strong unbreakable mate bond and I’ll make sure I won’t leave anything out.” She sneeringly added the last part, releasing her other hand off the railings to wrap the two around his neck. “Especially who she really is… I’m sure the other werewolves would definitely welcome her warmly their new Luna into their territory p>
Daniel suddenly pushed her. As she staggered back, he glared at her like she was a disgusting insect.
“Dora are you out of your mind p>
“I’ll make sure I announce it to everyone when they’ve all arrived to your ceremony tomorrow!” She yelled at him while he held the bridge of his nose, trembling for what this mad woman could do.
If Dora really carried out her plan, there were two Alpha’s at his ceremony who wouldn’t hesitate to test her by shifting into their true form and watch her react to it.
If they found out themselves, he knew they wouldn’t hesitate to kill her.
He had to agree, the Kitsunes were dangerous creatures and posed a huge threat to them but Naomi… she didn’t deserve it. To be killed. She had taken them as her kind. Why would she have to be repayed this way?
“Dora…you will not do such He suddenly descended the stairs to grab her hand and pull her close so their eyes could meet and she could see the different shades of blue swirling in his eyes. “If anything happens to her, I will hate you forever p>
His words pierced through her heart like a thread to a needle’s eye. The fact that he cared so much about that pathetic maid that he didn’t realize just how dangerous she could be if she figured out how her powers worked and how to replenish it. Or the fact that he could be this harsh to her because what? She threatened someone else. Someone he shouldn’t even care about.
She suddenly dragged her arm from his grip and faced him with her eyes filled with hate, anger and pain but mostly deviousness.
“Then you will make me your Luna.” Her voice was curt and firn with a tinge of warning added to it.
“You can and Will NOT be my Luna, Dora.” He almost sighed in perspiration.
“Why?” Her jaw almost fell at his words. “We’ve been best friends for so many years p>
“You do not have the attributes of a Luna Dora and besides I p>
“Am I not beautiful enough…do I not have the face of a goddess…what’s more p>
He shook his head at her limited knowledge of attributes and diversity.
“I don’t want a mate Dora. I just rejected Naomi as my mate on hearing the news and breaking the mate bond can be really painful…so I’m having a lot of difficulty right now and p>
“That’s wonderful Daniel”. She looked so happy. “I was going to ask you to do it as soon as possible so since it’s all done, you would have no problems when it comes to biting me and giving me the mate-bond mark p>
“Dora p>
“Yes. Yes. We need to plan for a Luna naming ceremony as soon as possible. We can’t wait any more. My birthday would be in a few weeks time so I guess we could place the ceremony date on my birthday…what do you think p>
“Dora p>
