Chapter 6

• Mia's POV
• "Alright!" I heave and sigh, wanting to remain with him because my heart has become glued to his, it's as if leaving his side is leaving his life, most especially with the behavior of his parents, I don't want to give him a chance to consider what they had said but I have no choice right now, I have to attend this tutorial, it's the only medium to becoming what I want to become.
• I walked into the room directed, leaving his side for the first time since I came here but he said he would come right after and pick me up. Standing before me is a woman supposed to be in her fifties. She smiles at me which I force myself to reciprocate, as I feel strange not being around Gavin.
• I walk towards her absentmindedly and sit on the chair before her. She has a marker in hand, and there is a whiteboard on the wall. "Good afternoon, what's your name?" I ask straight away without any smile, laugh, or simple face, I'm not just interested in this, I'm attending because I have no choice. Here, I speak to her as normal in schools.
• Does she still have her smile? What a sweet woman! "I'm Beatrice, how about you?"
• "I'm Mia," I mutter, looking straight into her eyeballs.
• "I'll be your tutor and guide for as long as the tutorial will last, don't worry, it won't take longer than......" She shrugs her shoulders. "I can't tell for now, but it won't pass... Let's just forget about the time, it's just dependent on you."
• The lesson starts properly. "First of all I want to introduce you to who your mate truly is?" She gives a mischievous smile, winking at me.
• "Why is everyone seeming so creepy all of a sudden?" I hissed, upon generalizing the whole point but Gavin seemed the same at some point. Why should my first lesson be about my mate when I was asked to learn Luna etiquette? It gives me a reason to think far, especially as Gavin seems to be hiding something. I sit up, turning a little receptive. Who knows? This could be my only chance of learning something that no one would ever tell me outside of here.
• After I steady, she begins. "Alpha Gavin is happy to have you as his mate because you are going to produce the long-awaited heir for him. No other person can do that, because of this, he is happy." I smirk, wishing to stone her for saying this. I thought she wanted to say something secret. "But what I'm not quite sure is what will become of you when you have born his pups." Her face grows stern, she says this looking directly at me, and ends it with a heavy sigh.
• "What do you mean?" I twist my face, wanting her to be more open. "After I give birth to his child, what will happen next?" Anxiety flies in. Even if she didn't want to say more than she said, my repeated questions pushed her to reply. She has no choice and she is the only one with me.
• "No one knows what will happen to you after you give birth to his heir. He's so mysterious, I'm afraid to say this, he might kill you." I gasp, pinching myself on the hips to the point of cutting my skin without realizing it. Upon feeling a warm liquid on the top of my fingers I'm prompted to look down and behold I had cut my skin. Shock from the news about Gavin sees me staggering back from my seat which eventually lands me on the floor. Why would he want to kill his fated mate? The curiosity to see through his reasons comes up if at all this might be true. Beatrice breathes hard, I see the concern in her eyes, she isn't obligated to say this but is just saying it out of sincere love and care, even as I'm not related to her in any way.
• "He belongs to a deadly gang that performs regular rituals, that's why he seems mysterious and secretive at times, have you observed that?" The question suspends on my mind, which is taken far off, my lips hanging loose in the air. I'm no longer myself as I sit on the floor, it's like my consciousness has been taken away from me, motion ceases, and everything stops. I never expected this from such a charming and seductively handsome man like Gavin. He's too good for that, good superficially. I lose my entire sense of thought, the only thing active in me right now is my heart whose pulse increases.
• Beatrice seeing my state moves forward in a haste to help me. "I didn't mean to scare you, please." She pleads in a shaky tone. "I hope you are okay, I don't want you to hurt yourself because of my news, the Alpha will dreadfully deal with me." She gently jacks me off from the ground, brushing my arms, hands, and legs with my clothes to ward off the dust. "I was just telling you so you will be aware and not ignorant." She continues to explain but all that she says seems nothing to me.
• My senses are dead, since when I steadied my gaze on her in shock, I remained so, probably like someone paralyzed. It took me many minutes, close to an hour to realize myself but even upon this, I'm still dumbfounded, as she is talking, I return my mind to this statement. stops to get a reply, I shakily nod my head.
• "I hope you believe what I tell you. Haven't you seen his secretive lifestyle?"
• "Of recent!" I mutter. It's what I've observed myself and even got angry and curious about.
• "His ex-girlfriends all went through this medium, I mean they were killed for rituals. Then, after he finished using them for sex, to the point of satisfaction, he discarded them like a used rag. It would have been better if he left them alive but sadly, he didn't."
