• "Thanks for the ride the other day." " But will I remind you that this is not what you think? I am still wondering who might have sent me the letter; were you the one?"Luna asked.
• "Not at all. I wasn't the one." Ashford responded. "Luna, can I be the man who will take you around the world and make you feel like a queen?" Ashford asked with expectation.
• "It all left for you, but I do not expect you to be as fast as this; haven't you read my history, haven't you gone through my file?" "It is no longer news that my mate dies mysteriously." She tried reminding him about her circumstances.
• "They might not be made for you." Ashford sounded
• " I know how good-hearted you are; I might have liked you, and at the same time, I don't want you to die over something you don't know about." Luna discouraging ashford.
• "Why then do you accept the offer?." " You should have rejected it at first if you knew that you didn't believe in love anymore." Ashford speaks.
• "Are you trying to get my attention before the contract is read to me after the welcoming party?" Luna getting more interested in the conversation with Ashford.
• "No, and for your information, no one has requested for you; you have no mate for now." Ashford tried intimating Luna with his words.
• "I know you are among the council; whatever you say might be true, yet I have the confidence to have one contract with me before the D-Day." Luna spoke boldly.
• "You don't love me?," Ashford asked.
• She smiled and looked at Ashford. "Speaking of love is an understatement; I don't have feelings for any now; I am here to make my choice, and not in this manner." Luna answered Ashford this, only to let her alone.
• "Luna, I plead with you, accept my requests, and see me show you love." Ashford pleaded.
• "No one can do that aside from Leo, whom death has snatched from my hands." "I love him; I think about him on a daily basis; what I do not know is why this had happened to me." Luna speaking of her past with late Alph Leo.
• "I understand that you always lost your mate; despite that, I know I won't fall victim to that; rather, I will survive and make you my wife." Ashford drew closer to Luna, this time he tried given her hope.
• "I think you should start going." "I do not see signs of love in you; what I see is deceit." Luna observed Ashford and wanted to know him more."
• "Sorry, I am not deceiving you; it is from the inside of my heart." " I love you, Luna, and I have to say it loudly without minding what the world would say about this." Ashford speaks deceitfully.
• "Good day, Ashford; I have to take some rest." Luna said, and about to leave his presence, Ashford drew on hands hands and said, "Let me hold and feel the smoothness of your hands."
• Luna looked into his hands; she remembered how Leo held her, the soft feeling of his touch, and the kiss he had with her while holding her hands. That reflects in her mind.
• "Please, I have to go." " If you feel you love me, go and request a contract," Luna told Ashford.
• "Is that all what you want?" Ashford asked with his hands away from Luna hands.
• Yes,""Luna answered.
• "Then get it done." Ashford answered.
• "Can I then go for now?" Luna asked.
• "Yes, you can; you have my permission." Ashford answered Luna.
• Luna left him, got in, and there she had more thoughts of Ashford.
• "He is reminding me about Leo; I felt Leo touch. This guy has reminded me about him." Luna nod her head, and with tears coming out of her eye, she has to use the small towel she has beside her to clean up the tears.

• "Is she that desperate, or were you the one forcing her into this?" Oscar asked.
• "I am the one who have the interest most." Ashford answered.
• "What will you have to do with a curse mate?" Oscar asked.
• "I will like us to take advantage of her, and once the contract is done, I believe she will have to go." " Such a person doesn't deserve true love." Ashford spoke.
• " Really?." Oscar asked.
• "Yes, Oscar, I get more attracted to her beauty, it will give us more fame, and respect." "Remember how it works here; the alpha with the most beautiful mate takes the influence." Ashford added.
• "Yes, I know, but don't you think we might all die trying to do this? What if we ended up having sex with her?" Oscar speaking with Luna experience about her late mates.
• "We cant die, and for the sex, we will spoiled her with our romantic displays." Ashford answered.
• "You speak without knowing the repercussions of what you are saying; she is not like others we have taken to bed; we might end up dying on her laps." "Nevertheless, I will get to think about it; remember, I haven't set my eye on her; to know how beautiful and sexy she is, again, for the gain and influence we will have by chosen her for the contract." Oscar added.
• "I will then take you to her place tomorrow in the camp."Ashford promised him.
• "Don't worry, I will get to see her in person." Oscar answered Ashford.
• "I wish he would get to accept what I have said." "I know Sherman won't find it that difficult; he will accept that. I can't let her go without having her on my body." Ashford said it romantically in his mind.
• "I have a hookup tonight; I might not be returning home; please make sure you are safe." Alpha Oscar said to Ashford. Meanwhile, he has decided to check on who Luna is and the appearance that makes his brother speak about her.

• "I want to take some of your time; can you please spend some time with me?" Oscar requested.
• "You look handsome, just like your brother; you are such a cherming person, and I have to confess you have a nice brother, Ashford." Luna admitted.
• "Thanks," Oscar answered and continued. "Does that mean I am permitted to talk with you now?"
• "Here am I; you have all the time to talk with me. But please brief it." Luna gave him condition.
• "Thanks for that." Oscar answered and demanded to sit.
• "Speaking about your beauty, has anyone told you that you are beautiful?" Oscar asked Luna, with a smiley face.
• "Countless times I have heard it. And please, may I know your name?" Luna answered.
• " Oh! Oscar Exclaimed. "Pardon my manners; I am Alpha Oscar. Member of the academy council." Oscar answered and continued.
• "Alright, I believe you have known and heard about me." "And if I should ask, why did you choose me for this? I never wanted to love, but I had to take the risk." Luna cares to know is fate for wanting to mate with her.
• "You believe that all those who had their intentions of making you their mate all died mysteriously, which reason why you decided not to love." "But here is an opportunity for you to make the choice that will forever benefit you." Oscar tried using his smart word to get her attention.
• "Your words give me hope, but do you think I will definitely find one?" Luna asked.
• Oscar remains silent; he speaks within himself.
• "I think Alpha was right on what he said; she has a aoft heart; she might easily accept the contract; and with that, her beauty will all end on my bed." Oscar speaking within himself.
• " Hello." Luna called for his attention.
• "Yes, I am listening." Oscar answered.
• "What is wrong?" " Does my question seem not to have an answer?" Luna asked.
• "What do you ask again?" Oscar pretended not to know what Luna asked.
• "Do you think I will get to find a mate, one who will get to love me and adore me as my late mate?" Luna asked Oscar putting words in his mouth, as she looked into his eye.
• "It is the reason why I am here; I and my brother's the Ashfords have assured you the best of what you want; we will take proper care of you and as well make you the happiest on earth." Oscar assured her.
• "You speak with confidence; have you considered the risk? Won't you end like others? Oscar, please, I will beg of you and your brother to go in search of someone else." "I am scared of being announced as a murderer this time around." Luna added.
• "Murderer?" Oscar asked.
• "Yes, the academy has decided to bring me up to a field where I will be mocked by my equal; imagine what happened previously." She answered.
• " Luna I ensure you true love, and I and my brother will definitely make you happy." He gave her a fake promise.
• "Alpha, are you after my beauty to gain fame and respect or to give me the true love I deserve?" She asked.
• "Your beauty is secondary; given you the true love that you deserve, that is what I felt as to do." " Luna, I love you." He added.
• "Just as I have told your brother, if you feel you love me and would want to take the risk, go and demand a contract." She told him the same.
• "She is smart; I see that in her eye." He said it again within himself.
• "Hope you got my words." She asked him smartly.
• "The welcoming party will soon commence; after that, get to see my contract." He told her.
• Luna wonders how she will cope, seeing that him and his brother Ashford have shown interest in her.
• "What about your brother, the third?" She asked.
• "The rules remain that we are crushing on you. We love you." Oscar answered.
• Luna smiled; right inside her, she saw a sign that seemed to show true love, but her heart wasn't at peace with what he professed.
• "Isn't it time you have some rest? Go home." Luna told him.
• "I will be spending the remaining time with you; I have set to do that." "Just let me be with you." Oscar added.
• There, others among Luna mates got to see them talking; they felt a little jealous, while others spoke of him trying to remind her of her past.
