Fated: The Alpha's Unwanted Luna-Chapter 84: Start a good relationship_Part 2

Matt turned down the air conditioner as he slowed the car at a red light, then glanced again at the rearview mirror before saying, "I still can’t believe we lost the bet, Seb. She surprised me, really," he remarked good-naturedly, but internally he was mourning the massive amount of money he had just lost because of her victory. Why hadn’t he believed it when Sebastian told him she had earned an A-plus and was a hard nut to crack?

"I knew we were in danger of losing the bet since I saw her train. She’s remarkable, isn’t she?" Sebastian asked without looking away from her sleeping face, where his neck pillow was now pressed against her cheeks, pushing her lips forward in a way he found strangely adorable. Was it normal for an adult woman to look this cute even while in sleep?

"I can’t lie, she is remarkable. So are you going to make her your Luna or send her away because she will become your Luna?" Matt asked, driving forward when the lights turned green and keeping his hazel eyes fixed on the road ahead, but his ears trained on his friend’s decision on the outcome.

Actually, Matt had nothing against the girl except for the fact that she was wolfless, and he believed that made her weak. In Sebastian’s life, someone weak didn’t last long. That was why he had been so adamant about Sebastian forcing her to leave and live with the humans before, so she could at least have a peaceful life rather than waste it here, where she would not be fully accepted and would constantly be in danger.

But now that she had proven to everyone that she didn’t need a wolf to be their Luna, it left them with another worry, Sebastian’s prophecy, and the fact that the described prophesied mate meant to cure him wasn’t her. And if it wasn’t her, then she was in danger of falling into the same fate as the other two. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"I have given her my word that if she passed, she would be my Luna, my wife and get everything that comes with that position, including my protection. I can’t send her away anymore," Sebastian muttered, his eyes shifting to the wristband around her wrist that bore Nick’s initials. He scowled at the fact that she wasn’t wearing the wristwatch he had sent her to monitor her health. Didn’t she like it, or was she deliberately refusing to wear anything from him?

"What about the prophecy?" Matt asked, glancing at his friend through the rearview mirror as Sebastian continued watching the sleeping girl. "What if she also dies?"

Sebastian’s expression immediately darkened. Because of that damned prophecy that fell on every Alpha born a Kade in Silver, his life had been a mess. He feared weakness like a disease. He had killed two Lunas, one of whom it was said he had loved, but Sebastian could barely remember her because he had taken a potion to wipe her from his memories right after her death. He only knew her name, but nothing else about her.

He remembered the feeling of loneliness after her death, the emptiness and occasional pain, but he didn’t remember the she-wolf herself. He couldn’t afford to let himself fall for another woman who wasn’t the right one. But he had already thought about everything along with Muffin, and he had come up with a plan of his own.

"She won’t die as long as I don’t mark her. She can be my wife and Luna without my mark. I have thought about it. Marrying her will make everyone stop pressuring me, and while she is still my Luna, I can continue searching for the one meant to cure the Kade curse. She’s one of my distraction mates, after all."

He had already made plans since the day he saw her train and had come up with a temporary solution. His prophecy was more than just words, it carried a curse within it that only one she-wolf could break.

But finding that she-wolf was like searching for a lost needle in a mountain of hay, because what was described of her in his prophecy was almost impossible. The only thing he knew for certain was that she possessed an extraordinarily strong wolf, while the other descriptions were things Sebastian considered absolute nonsense, as they made no logical sense at all and he would rather not even consider it as a clue to find that shewolf.

He hadn’t met anyone who matched what the prophecy described. And to make things worse, the Moon Goddess had given him so many mates as distractions that it became even harder to find the one truly prophesied. It was a generational curse that none of his ancestors had managed to break, allowing it to keep falling upon the firstborn males of the Kade line until him, and now he was suffering just like every Kade Alpha before him.

However, while he searched for the true one, he had decided that if Viola won, he would let her become his Luna and grant her the protection that came with that title.

"Damnit, Seb. You shouldn’t have let me bet on Laila then, especially since you already had everything figured out. You should have given me a heads-up, like, ’Hey Matt, don’t bet at all because I have a feeling this wolfless will win’—but no, you didn’t warn me. Now I’ve lost ten fucking million," Matt said, sounding on the verge of tears, as he had followed Sebastian’s lead and voted for Laila because he strongly believed she would win, given her powerful wolf and solid reputation.

"It doesn’t matter. I didn’t withdraw my bet because it’s better for everyone to still think I wanted Laila as my Luna. It will take the attention away from this one here," he mused, looking at Viola’s peaceful sleeping face and realizing he could watch her like this for hours without growing tired. Was that normal or was he starting to lose his damn mind?

"Does that mean you’re cool with her? I mean, the wolfless?" Matt questioned cautiously.

"She has a name. Learn to use it. Viola. No more ’blind girl’ or ’wolfless’ or even ’weakling.’ She will soon be the Luna," Sebastian stated firmly, before answering Matt’s earlier question. "Just because she doesn’t match my prophesied mate doesn’t mean I can’t have a normal relationship with her, like friendship."

Having her hate him wasn’t only distracting; it was hurting him through the mate bond. A happy female mate meant a stable male. Now that there was no escaping the fact that there was a great possibility she would be his wife, he might as well try to build a natural relationship with her, or at least a friendship, rather than constantly argue and subject himself to unnecessary pain.

But forming a friendship with someone who clearly disliked him wouldn’t be easy. He would have to make her trust him, the same way she trusted his sister. As much as he would have liked to seek Zoe’s help in getting to know Viola and making amends for everything he had done, he knew his sister was far too dramatic and would turn it into a spectacle. It was better he figured out how to make Viola forgive him on his own.

Sebastian wasn’t looking forward to a marriage filled with daily fights, resentful looks, and her using the mate bond to hurt and distract him from his responsibilities, because he had a feeling she was fully capable of doing just that.

Perhaps he should get her a gift? What did she like? He wondered, only to belatedly realize he knew nothing about her except the information he had uncovered by digging into her background and past.
