The Alpha's Mate Is A Spy novel Chapter 38

~*~*~

*SEFF's POV*

"Seff, Why is it so damn hard to meet you nowadays?" My aunt, Luna Miria of Silverstone sighs at the sight of me." If the summit didn't happen, how long will you keep ignoring me, huh?"

As i closed the door behind me, she enveloped her arms around me and soothed my back like child, the warmth and her familiar scent like my mom, made all my nerves calm down.

I frowned. This was the reason I didn't want to see this old woman.

"If I didn't send that friend of yours a message, then you'd probably won't see me, am I right?" She pulls away, worries plastered on her face.

I cracked a smile, "I'm fine, Aunt Miria. You don't need to check up on me every month. It's tedious, I don't want to trouble you like that."

"Seff, we talked about this! I made a promise to your mother-"

I cut her off, my chest rising from anger. "That was ages ago, aunt Miria. Can't we all just try to move on?"

I don't want to remember those times again. I don't hate Aunt Miria. Ever since I lost my parents, she's been there.. always. But the fact that she's always there, also made me anxious at the same time.

Why? She resembled my mom a bit too well.

Looking away, I placed a palm on my forehead in frustration. "Look, I just came here to tell you that I'm fine. You don't need to worry. So please stop calling me, and let's all just mind our business, okay?"

With a trembling hand, she reached to the side of my face and sobbed, her frail legs bent as she held sadness within her. I cursed under my breath. She'd always do this whenever I pushed her away.

"Aunt Miria... I'm fine, please don't act like this. I'm not a kid anymore, I can handle myself."

"No... you're still that boy." She coughs heavily between her cries, "How can you tell me to leave you alone? If I'm gone, who will take care of you? Your friend will meet his mate soon. Everyone in your age does."

I slowly removed her hands, and once again, I felt devastated as the realization sank to me that i'd never be able to meet my mate in this lifetime.

All because of the stupid wish that my dad made years ago.

"I don't need a mate." I chuckled bitterly.

I've seen clearly how not everyone gets a happy ending when they find their mates. The stupid connection between my mom and dad proves it. As I've done everytime, i was able to calm myself and smiled at her.

"You know me, I don't like it when people plan for me, not the Moon Goddess or you. So.. please live well. I'll live the life I want, don't worry about me. I promise you, I'll find someone to settle down with. Do send my regards to my uncle and niece."

P A S T -

{"Baby, can you please go to your room? Daddy and I have to talk.'} My mom says, her voice shaking. With blood pouring to the side of her face, I noticed broken shards everywhere...and how my dad held the broken half of the bottle in his hand.

He grabs another bottle on the table and drinks it in one go. He was red everywhere, his eyes, face, and even red liquid on his shirt- that somehow resembled the liquid that was on mom's face.

Is that.. blood?

{"But.. I've stayed all day in my room already. You said i could play here at 7."}

{"I know i know... and mommy's sorry for that."} She cries. {"Baby listen to me, go to your room and lock the door okay? Just like we always do."

I shook my head in disagreement.
