I stared down, water from my eyes spilling as the gravity did its job. I was standing alone in a silent field wherein i buried my friend's body with honor, by myself.
No one knew, no one will.
"Hey." I choked up my tears. "How could you leave your best friend like this? Haha you didn't even tell me about you wanting to betray our pack."
I know he can't answer, coz he's dead. Buried in the soil without any proper burial ritual, or honor as a warrior in redbloodmoon.
"You know between us, you're more smarter and stronger i just don't get why the hell would you do that! You asshole. You continued even though you knew what's the outcome. Is that smart?" I chuckled bitterly.
Shit tears won't stop.
"You know man, we've been through a lot." I sobbed slightly. "Do you remember when we met on Delta? We really fought a lot, but sooner or later we became partners that no one could seperate, we were solid man. Solid.."
"You always tell me everything, your thoughts and plans. But this was too unexpected shit, i didn't expect you to be buried before me! WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO IT!" I felt my knees wobbled and i kneeled helplessly.
Who was at fault?!
Redbloodmoon?
You?
Or her?!
"I don't know, i'm not good at this stuff this was supposed to be your job Kiel. To tell me what to do! Now you're fucking gone."
My brother is gone!
I growled in anger, so much that the trees swayed a little. There was so much anger but much more sadness.
"I buried you.. even before they could tear you to pieces brother, am i also betraying the pack? Just like you did? Is it really our pack to blame? You ? Her?"
It took me seconds to realize that the reason was Love, attachment and promises that led us to our own downfall. Wiping my tears away, everything was clear. Looking one last time at my..
bestfriend,
Partner,
And brother.
I faced straight ahead and walked towards the redbloodmoon.
~•~
Everything was a mess.
The redbloodmoon was on the peak of destruction while our leader locked himself on his own domain. Many civillians saw everything that happened and the commotion it caused around the kingdom.
Even so, the day went by like a normal day in the RedBloodMoon. We lost a comrade, a friend and a love one but there was oaths to be accomplished, and the pack's oath always comes first.
Getting my head straight into things, i never felt so focused on my entire life until now.
After everything happened, just like our job to do so. Kiel became a traitor, who died in vain. Listed as a rogue in our society and remembered as a villain in history. All of it happened but as a brother i couldn't do anything. The only thing i could do was bury him in one piece.
His body went missing but i know that his death wasn't much of a big deal especially to our King. Losing Christal damaged him too much that his cruel ways before became way more crueler.
He refused to talk to anyone besides his beta, he was more focused on battle strategies and planning to strengthen the pack, In the day atleast. I know that he's still trying to get her back from the shadows.
Few only knew about their relationship, that we already have a luna in line.
The only thing i felt that time was anger and hatred. Christal, she's nothing but chaos to this pack. I do feel loyalty towards her knowing that she's our Luna, but after losing my brother because of her..
Because Kiel had this urge to protect her.. who am i to judge his actions? He was still him, even though he died like that, he knew he died to protect her and that was enough but not for me, for me he died a useless death.
"Daniel." Michael suddenly appears.
"What?"
"I'm sorry for your loss."
"Trying to pity a villain?" I scoffed.
"I'm serious." He sighs. "We all know that he was only your family."
"Yeah. But you know, even if everyone says that, a oath is an oath, Kiel broke his oath first he knew what was coming."
"Speaking of Kiel, his body went missing."
I tensed up, but immediately shifting it back. "Oh?"
"I was assigned to look for his body, but his tracks disappeared, no scent no anything." He says, slightly looking at me longer.
"Are you suspecting me?"
"Could you blame me?" Michael sterns up. "Don't get too caught up with emotions, we don't need that in redbloodmoon. Later." He says then disappears.
Back to him, he knew yet he let me go.
I sighed, guess it's back to being a redbloodmoon warrior.
SYRENA's POV
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?! OR THIS?!" The Alpha King shouts as his fury directed towards his Beta, Jaxon. "WHY IS MARIA LOOSE?! TIGHTEN UP! I don't want anyone smiling inside those bars!" He growled in menace.
"Alpha King, you're telling me to kill rogues on the spot without questioning-"
"Do want me repeat everything i just said?" He glared at him.
I was at the corner shivering in fear, these past days The Alpha King was way worst even before he met Christal. Everyone knew how brutal RedBloodMoon was but i didn't think i would actually believe those stories. Everything tightened up ever since that day, the day she left him.
"No Alpha King, it's understood."
"Leave." He commands, then Jaxon leaves, leaving me behind dealing with the angry Alpha.
"Status report." He commands, i nodded.
"Delta Training Grounds is still intact after the incident, training is still on track. The guy you made me look for is still in there, so there's no punishment." I replied.
The guy that i was talking about was Herus, he's still a trainee in Delta so if he neglects it, punishment was there for him. He maybe a 1st level but he hasn't taken the final test to finish Delta training, there's still months before he would be in trial to finish training.
"Tch damn brat." He curses under his breath. "Keep an eye on him, i don't want him sniffing his nose around my pack."
I nodded.
"Anything else?"
I looked at him. "Pardon?"
"How's she?"
I smiled, even all beyond those anger, he soften ups whenever the topic is her. I hid my smile and said. "She's been in BlueStone pack ever since, no shift in location for the past days."
The reason i found this amusing was because i know that he's been sneaking out at night to check on her even on the distance. But even though i found this amusing, it also makes me sad that she's nowhere lovable anymore. The memoriae is not there anymore to restain her.
It's all up to her deciding her own battles, wether to fight or run away.
"I still.. haven't cut bonds with her in our pack. And she still hasn't neither bonded again with bluestone." He sighs. "I don't know how to deal with her."
"No one does." I chuckled.
"Yeah, she's such a little kid. Always wanting to run away." He frowns.
"What are you planning to do? Your anger has been beyond the limits these days, if i talk about her it softens you up. As a leader, you know how to deal with emotions, for the pack and i envy you for that. But how long can you endure?"
He glares at me. "She's mine, if she doesn't want to, i'll make her want me. Even if i have to force her to."
