In her feelings
“What is the point of it if I can’t be fulfilled with my mate forever?”
Ava knows it’s because of his annoyance with her that he’s saying those words, his annoyance with the fact that she can’t be with him forever. She heard the question well but it’s a question she doesn’t want to answer, or rather, a question she cannot provide an answer to. She decided to change the topic by telling him about herself.
“My home, the moonlight pack had a lot of different laws, the supreme of all which was the law of the betrothed Luna. For decades, they never abided by the mate bond when it came to their alpha’s mate, they always went ahead by pre-arranging a union with whoever was deemed fit to be joined their future alpha at a young age. Other pack members were allowed to be with their destined mates but not the one that was chosen to be the Luna, me.”
Lucas showed interest in her story, and decided to present his own questions.
“But the goddess’s mate bond is such a beautiful thing, why did they do that?”
“They always say its because the royal bloodline of the moonlight’s pack alphas was sacred and could not be corrupted by mixing with blood from another pack, that’s why they always ensured that the Luna’s were chosen from within the moonlight pack, long before the alpha would meet his true mate.”
Lucas knew the reason for this law. “They were scared that someone who is not of moonlight heritage would have a claim to the leadership and change their former customs in the future.”
Ava didn’t know if it was the truth or not, but there was a lot of sense in what Lucas just said. She continued the conversation.
“I was betrothed to alpha Ray when I was just a baby, taken away from my parents after I was chosen. I never knew who they were, and they were sworn to be anonymous and never ever reveal themselves to me, though they remain in the pack.”
“But, that’s terrible.”
