I was afraid. So afraid of so many things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a fearful person doesn’t get answers right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only one way to confirm my doubt, so I replaced a bit of my fear with curiosity since I couldn’t hide it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you hate Draven?\" I asked, squeezing my brows as I moved the loofah slowly across my arms as my ears perked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t want to miss that rich female voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you come to that conclusion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My heart raced in my chest as Draven’s loofah slipped from my hand and fell into the tub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s my wolf? I-I have a wolf?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My reaction moved in different stages in less than a minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First came Fear. A little bit of surprise and then came shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My lungs almost collapsed and my heart, it almost failed me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could feel my heart beating wildly in my temples as I tried to make sense of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, Meredith Carter, the cursed wolfless deviant of the Moonstone pack had a wolf?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had a wolf?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I kept repeating the same question over and over again in my head because for once, it didn’t make any sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought I was cursed and was never going to have a wolf?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah... All those times I cried and cursed the Moon Goddess had nothing to do with me begging her to give me a wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than half of my laments were filled with blame as there was only bitterness occupying my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe I should have used all that wasted opportunity to seek something important from her rather than wallowing in pity for myself and hatred for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where have you been all this time?\" I asked, trying to sound basely curious while hiding the mixture of blame and anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I believed that if my wolf had appeared at the right time a few years ago as expected, I would never have had to go through so much agonizing pain and situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So for now, I will only remain excited. Because indeed, I was actually excited to learn that I wasn’t wolfless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And maybe too, I might not be cursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t want to get too excited and begin to overthink my situation, so I quickly shook that thought off and diverted all my attention to my wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve been here. Just needed a little trigger to finally surface.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My wolf answered my question and also another one which I had planned to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was greatly overwhelmed with emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>M-my wolf has been with me all this time I was mocked and faced so much injustice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wow! Just wow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was something else that caught my attention apart from the angry shock of finding out that she has been with me for long and didn’t just suddenly appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the fact that she said she needed a little trigger to surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You needed me to sleep with a man... or Draven particularly before you could show up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In my head, I was already begging her to make her statement make sense because it didn’t. Unless she explained better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Draven. It had to be Draven.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I almost scoffed. But quickly remembered that I wasn’t in any situation to react violently to my wolf who had finally showed up to be with me, so, I held myself back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why Draven?\" I asked her, while patiently waiting for her response though a million thoughts were already swimming in my head. Definitely, except the right one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a little bit silence that caused me to panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was afraid my wolf had suddenly stopped working or probably disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mean, I can’t be blamed for that. I was sceptical right now. And that made me realize that this was my greatest fear;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Losing something important I had rather than not having it in the first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So maybe, I was indeed luckier than some people that my wolf was hidden, rather than having one and losing it forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, my wolf’s voice resounded in my head. She seemed calm. I mean the hard kind of calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know when a person is impatient and has anger issues but tries to answer your questions without flaring up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s what I meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is your mate. Isn’t that obvious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I forgot to breathe as silence settled over me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Draven is... my mate? How???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mean, there is no way I could have ever known that that stoic man was my mate. I didn’t have... know I had a wolf until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I even thought my wolf chose Draven for me to sleep with because he was my husband since my first mate had rejected me in a brutal and disgraceful way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like I said, I didn’t have a wolf back then to know if I had been mated to someone else again since I found out about Marc Harris being mate through gossips that spread. And him rejecting me truly confirmed the gossips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, I was wondering if Draven knew I was his mate and forced me into this marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But having known him for a little over a month, I stand to say that he wasn’t that kind of person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would have been no different from Marc Harris, and would have rejected me straight away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Draven was an Alpha, our future King, and I had been a cursed wolfless rejected woman without a reputation. There was no way on earth he would have settled for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that immediately leaves me thinking once again, for the reason he married me. Now that I recalled our conversations, he never answered that question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it actually be because he knew I was his mate, or was there some other reason?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, does me being his mate has to do with why he helped me quench my heat last night?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had so many questions that would take days to be responded to, and weeks before I finally digested and accepted the answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I understood one thing from my wolf. I needed to sleep with my mate in other to bring her out from wherever she was caged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the condition to my wolf appearing. And I hadn’t know until I had accidentally done the right thing for that to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>",1083,"2026-06-03T06:41:07.524Z","2026-06-03T06:41:13.870Z",1,"novelbin.me","9f8d67ce9d8e0053d0c6395a0f158a7228ce1f7f52507764c3fdfbf258ca5906","the-lunar-curse-a-second-chance-with-alpha-drave-chapter-116","the-lunar-curse-a-second-chance-with-alpha-drave-chapter-114",685,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lunar-curse-a-second-chance-with-alpha-drave-cover.jpg"]
