The Beast's Virgin Claim

"I do not think you can bring him to his knees."

"Why?" I ask with curiosity.

"Because he is already kneeling, Theia. I believe he has already started searching for you. That desperation that hopelessness and that empty feeling of loss will be what destroys him from the inside. He will recognize the consequences of his antics soon enough. With each passing day, his guilt will eat at him all because he loves and cherishes you."

"I am not innocent in this battle. I kissed another male to taunt him in retaliation."

"Then there is no weight that alters the balance between you both, you bear equal sin. When he asks for your forgiveness so must you for his. But you need not do it at this moment for his betrayal came first. I suppose you want space."

"Yes, very much. I do not want to see him. I do not want to talk to him. I do not want him to touch me."

"That is reasonable. But you cannot stay here for your male is on his way and I cannot take you back home with me. Deimos and Phobos are faithful to one another my mate will never go against him for your sake or mine."

"Yes. Deimos would confine me in your home and wait for Phobos to come and capture me."

"Let me think, there must be a way out of this."

The door to the room is soundlessly driven forward in a trial to not interrupt our conversation and Cronus peeks in with hesitation. "Can I come in or do you both need more time?"

"Come in, Cronus. I am just thinking of where to hide your sister."

"I talked to a few Alphas who are close to me but they are aware of whom her mate is. They are not willing to take the risk, Phobos has instilled fear among all no one would dare to go against him in any way especially hide his female from him. He would annihilate the entire pack."

"We need to send her away to another country then where they do not know who Theia is."

"She is not leaving him forever, Lumina. My sister just wants some space from him for a little while."

"Yes but if she stays somewhere close Theia will not get to have that 'little while'. I am certain her male will not give the time she desires away from him if he finds her. He will take her away by force which will tear apart their relationship further not heal it." In many ways, Lumina owns this maturity that I seem to lack even though she is the same age as me. She rules equally with emotions and logic unlike me. I wonder if Phobos would have preferred a female like her instead compared to a female like me to be his queen.

"Then what the hell do we do?! We are running out of time Phobos is probably on his way here." Cronus says running his fingers through his hair in frustration leaning against the window frame with his brawny arms folded across his toned chest.

"I have someone I can speak to," Lumina mutters faintly from my side as Cronus whirls around to look at her.

"Whom? Is it a wolf I can trust my sister with?"

"Yes, he is a good wolf. He is the male of one of Deimos's friends. We as a family are very close to him and his pack members."

"What is his name?"

"Giovanni. Alpha Giovanni."

"I have heard of him, Deimos had mentioned him a few times before to me," Cronus states with a sharp nod of agreement his jaw clenched his orbs set firmly on my flesh. He is reviewing my reactions to each and every word for I am keeping to myself not taking part in their conversations which is very unlike me.

"He would protect her with his life if I ask it from him. But I will have to lie to him about Theia's identity. He speaks to Deimos often so I need to make it in such a way that she is a female friend of mine who wishes to travel and spend some time abroad."

"How long will it take for you to finalize this?" He questions.

"I do not know but I will try to get through to him on this as soon as possible, I will call him right away. Deimos has two jets one has probably been sent to Phobos's lands I believe. Theia can utilise the other one and I will use my power as Luna to make sure word of her departure does not reach my male."

"Are you sure you are willing to go this far for us? Deimos will see this as betrayal from you."

"You have supported me so much when my mate was cruel and heartless to me. I wish to repay you and I want Theia to do as she pleases. Being mated to an Alpha male is not easy Cronus, I had my females as a barrier against Deimos whenever I needed it but your sister has no one but us. It is my duty to do this for her for after all, she is one of my females."

I swiftly bind my arms tightly around Lumina's waist and hug her with a muffled whimper of gratitude leaving my mouth. She returns my embrace with a muted sigh and once more begins to pat my back working to pacify my stress.

"All right I will trust your words, Lumina. Were you able to get those pregnancy tests for Theia?"

"Yes, I have them with me." She rummages through her small white purse and extracts two purple coloured sleek boxes and hands them to me.

"Cronus I told you that I am not-" There is a beseeching tone in my voice as I look up at him with imploring eyes. I already know I am barren I do not need these tests to rub salt to my wounds.

"There are two tests in your hands. You will use them both and bring them out to me.." His authoritative tone shows me that I cannot fight him against this, his word is final.
