Take Me Once, I'll Bleed You Twice novel Chapter 142

#hapter 142

“To think, you were almost mated with a human,” Ashclift scoffed. “Te’s for the best. Perhaps you should find yourself a chosen mate for now, if you don’t

want to wait.”

Beatrice really disliked Elder Ashcliff. The guy was a pompous ass who thought his shit didn’t sink. As she thought this the Elder in question turned his attention towards her and smirked. Yeah, the guy was far to pleased with how things furned out.

“Is there anything you’d like to say to the room?” Wulfastra inquired, eyes on Beatrice, who was busy staring at Ashcliff. “Beatrice?”

“Hm?” She mumbled, finally tearing her eyes away from the pompous ass‘ dumb face. “What?”

“Is there anything you’d like to say to the room?”

“Yes,” she nodded. “Actually, I have five questions I’d like answered.” Did she actually have five questions? Beatrice wasn’t sure, having pulled the number out of thin air. It felt high enough to sound important but low enough to not be frowned upon. This way, once she asked the one question she definitely

it would give her a chance to get any clarification she wanted answered it had come to her while staring at the curly moustached asshole’s dumb face

might need.

“That sounds reasonable. We will answer your questions, provided we are able. Go ahead,” the same Elder replied, motioning that she proceed.

How should she play this? How should she phrase the question she wanted to ask? Should she ask it right from the start or set up a foundation first?

“Is the main reason you decided to execute me, instead of having us reject one another, because I’m human, and would you have come to the same decision if I’d been a wolf?”

Wulfastra frowned, glancing at the other Elders for a moment. “I can only speak for myself here. My choice was made because rejected mates are less likely to get a second chance, while those who lose their mate are known to be gifted one. As Alphas are required to accept their fated mates, I believe it’s best for the Bluemoon pack that we take the route with the highest probability of Alpha Hendricks getting a second chance. As for whether my choice would have been different if you were a wolf… This wouldn’t have been an issue. A wolf would have accepted the bond from the onset.”

A few of the other Elders nodded in agreement.

“I don’t agree with the choice made,” Elder Bluemoon began with a small sigh. “But I understand and won’t oppose the decision. Alpha Hendricks is family and I want what’s best for him. Regardless of the fact that you are human, the Moon Goddess chose you for him, and I am of the belief She did so fos a

reason.”

“Maybe it was to test our resolve,” Ashcliff chuckled. “That we would be strong enough to look past the fact she’s a fated mate and decide a human shouldn’t muddy a prominent pack’s bloodline. Do you honestly believe any pup born between the two of them would be able to one day become an Alpha” A half wolf, half human? No pack would follow such a person.”

Elder Briarwood nodded along as Ashcliff spoke. No surprise there. The lady had disliked Beatrice the moment she’d walked into the room. Maybe it had to do with the musical chair swapping or because she was human. Who knew, who cared.

“I believe that answers your first question,” Wulfastra noted, steering the conversation back to topic. “What’s your second?”

Beatrice licked her lips, stalling to find the right words. “Is it true that, at no point in your known history, no wolf has ever chosen to be with a human? And I don’t mean fated to a human but specifically chose one for a partner.”

“Correct,” Ashcliff replied.

“Wait” M48onbow spoke up with: a frown. “That’s not true”

“Yes, it is,” Ashcliff snapped. “No wolf has ever chosen to be with a human.”

Elder Bluemoon leaned forward, elbows resting on the table as he interlaced his fingers. “You seem to be forgetting, Elder Ashcliff, that the Ashcliff pack bloodline only continued because you had a second son later in life.”

“My first son died,” Ashcliff snapped. You know that.”

“That’s what everyone says but I was there and remember things a little differently,” Bluemoon replied, a small, knowing smile gracing his face. “In fact… I
