Chapter 7

• Mia's POV
• Again, the shock comes. My legs grow weak and lame and I have to sit because they can no longer carry me.
• It's a whole new level of shock to hear such bad news about someone you have emptied all your heart into in love. Gavin is someone I see forever with, I saw him as my escape route from my family to a better life just to hear all these about him, which makes him even more dangerous than the family I'm coming from. Intense fear overpowers me, I sit gently on the seat behind me as my legs can no longer carry my weight. I would fall again if I attempted to stand. I ponder on what Beatrice just told me. My mind and my mind are taken far away, not until Beatrice taps me bringing me back to consciousness.
• "Please don't tell anyone of this, I beg you. Do not let the Alpha know of this, I would be dead. I'm just telling you as a mother would, in case you have your plans." I rose from my seat to hug her so tight, with a grateful heart. This tells me she has some love for me in her heart, tears cloud my eyes and start to drip. I hold onto her so tight, wishing that as she is telling me this, she also has a remedy.
• "But why is he sacrificing innocent goals, what does he hope to gain?"
• "That's what I don't know, it's another mystery. I don't know about your case, it might be different because you are his mate, but I'm just afraid."
• "After he has sex with you and is done with you totally, he kills you." I try recreating this in my heart, it turns out to make me more emotional and I'm still clinging to Beatrice's body. I never knew that Gavin who everyone saw as an angel was a demon, I would have rejected him. I will still need to do something about this, just that my chances are slimmer being under his territory. As I hear heavy footsteps walking towards the room, I shriek in terror.
• It must be him, I almost slip and fall. Beatrice holds me immediately, so I don't. "Thanks," I mutter to her.
• Seeing him stand at the doorway, looking at us both with tense eyes and a quiet disposition, my brain cells reverberate. "Here comes the demon!" I imagine my wolf saying but I remember my promise to Beatrice, we must pretend as if nothing of this sort happened. Though it's hard, I'll try. I don't want to put her in trouble, she did no wrong in informing me of what was kept as a secret from me.
• I wonder what I'll tell him if he asks me what I learned today, Beatrice spent the whole time briefing me about him. I'm grateful, she has revealed the secrets I so much wanted to know although there are still some left to know.
• "Time up! I'll be spending some time with you now!" He growls in my direction and walks towards me, grabbing me firmly by the wrist, turning, and taking me away. I turn one last time to look at Beatrice, she gives me a wink of assurance.
• "Our mother, the moon goddess will surely direct you on what to do." She says to me through a quick mind link.
• He lowered his face down a bit to talk to me. "Get prepared, let's go take some food and drinks because you are surely going to serve me tonight." Fear grips me as he says this, will my fate turn out like the other girls?
• "Hmm," I sigh so quietly so he wouldn't know. I remember Beatrice asking me not to act in a way that might make him suspect she told me something. I summon the courage in a flash, composing myself. He grabs me by the wrist tighter, dragging me along, I trod reluctantly behind him, Imt
• I'm puzzled by the way he's acting so I want to ask him.
• "My parents repeated the same thing, that you are not fit to be my girl, but I think you are fit, your fate is different from every other girl I'd met in the past." Electricity sparks through my veins as he says something related to what Beatrice told me. Could it be that he knows about what we discussed between ourselves? Why is he saying that my fate is different and do I have to trust him?
• **45 minutes later**
• As custom demands it, I'm forced to go to the bedroom before Gavin, he said a maid was going to take me there. Even the way he said it made it sound creepy, like someplace far away, I don't think it's his chamber which is close to the dining room we were in, that he is referring to here. If there were, why would a maid have to take me there? I saw its location already.
• I'm sitting on the bed in the room he left me, which he assigned as my temporary room. When I heard a knock on the door, not wanting to ask who it was, I got up to go see for myself in my robe, which I put on after having a bath. As I open the door, a woman supposed to be in her late thirties stands in a maid uniform, I scan her from head to toe. She remains there as silent as ever, not lively. I begin to wonder what's going on.
• "Hey, are you the maid sent to…."
• "Yes," she snaps, cutting me short of words.
• "So, you couldn't introduce yourself until I asked?" Her weird nature makes me speak to her in a way I didn't intend to, it is getting dark as I view from outside of my room where there is no light.
• "Come with me," she says in a kind of sinister but authoritative voice. I was prepared for this moment but as she called me out of my room, I began to wonder where she was taking me.
• "Can I ask you a question?"
