Confess

Atasha's Point of View

"What else do we do now? Veronica is our only hope for us to stop the ceremony! " I exclaimed at Elijah after that difficult conversation with Veronica. Would there be any chance for us to save this pack? I ask myself this a lot of times.

It’s so hard to sleep at night knowing that my sister Astrid is planning to lead this pack. If we can’t trust her if the prophecy is fulfilled, then what should we do next? Are the lives of the people in the Crimson Moon in danger? However, the only thing that’s making me sure about what would happen is that I and Elijah would be kicked out of this domain.

"Let’s go outside, and let’s see if Devon can help us," Elijah said that making me confused. "What can Devon do? We don’t have time to go back to the underground tunnel. " I said in frustration.

I bit my lower lip and shook my head, then suddenly I realized what Elijah was trying to convey. "You’re right, Elijah, let’s find Devon. She might help us to remove the curse from Astrid, then Zach should no longer be cursed as well. "

Elijah then gave me a serious look and said, "Well, that could be possible, but the reason why I want to seek Devon is if it’s possible that we can stay in her house since we can no longer live here. You see, Atasha, maybe the Moon Goddess wants this to happen to my family. We don’t know for sure what could possibly go wrong with Zach being the Alpha and your sister as the Luna. Let's just give me and your sibling the benefit of the doubt."

My jaw dropped at what Elijah said. I couldn’t allow Astrid to lead the pack with her controlling Zach. She being cursed would also curse pups that would end the Montreal bloodline. I believe that would be the end of the Montreal Moose and the Crimson Moon Pack.

"Atasha, I know what you’re thinking, but what if we don’t need to risk our lives? Veronica is right; let’s find our new home. Your sister is no longer your sister. She’s legally part of the Devaraugh clan. Then I was disowned by my own family. So let’s embrace it. I guess it’s time for us to finally move on. "

"It is what it is. Is that what you’re saying, Elijah? " I then grabbed my bag and packed my things.

"Let’s go then, let’s not waste time, and I want to go away from this place since you’re now decided."

"You’re okay now with us leaving here?"

"Yeah, of course. I should now get ready, and we need to get out of this place. "

We went outside of the house with our bags full of clothes. As soon as I went outside me and Elijah was shocked to see Peter that seemed to be waiting for us.

"Hello, Sir Elijah and Atasha. How are you doing? It's been how many months since you left. I'm glad that you're now back in this domain." My eyes went to Elijah and I then responded to Peter and I asked if he can help us to get out of this place but he refuses to help.

I knew that he was also brainwashed already with Astrid.

"Peter, it's been a while and I truly appreciate all of the things that you've done for me in these past few years. Ever since I was a kid. I couldn't forget all of it. You help me, Veronica, and Zach. You truly serve the Montreal clan but now since I didn't belong to the family. I would like to say my farewell."

We then walked past Peter and I felt the heaviness of Elijah's words towards him. It was bittersweet for Elijah, knowing that he's now living in his hometown, it would be sad for him to forget all of his childhood memories simply because of what Astrid did.

He sacrificed too much just to protect me and now he's letting go to again save me from the Astrid. I clenched my fist and I don't want to give up just yet. I prayed to the Moon Goddess to please give us a chance to fight, Elijah deserves to be here.

He was supposed not to be disowned by his own father. He didn't deserve to be hated by his sister Veronica, he needs to be here. This is his home. I clenched my fist and close my eyes, I stopped on my feet walking and asking for a miracle for the Moon Goddess.

"Sir Elijah, and Atasha... I have a confession to make." I then turned around and glanced at Peter. He was sweating and acting nervous. He removes his hat, looking down at the ground he was trying to say something but his lips are quivering.

"It's all my fault. Sir, Elijah, and Atasha. It's all my fault!" He kneel down and tears began pooling in his eyes, crying and screaming "I'm sorry."

Elijah then walked toward him then asked him to get up. "Come on Peter, stand up. What the hell are you saying sorry for?"

"It's all my fault, I bring that devil in the Crimson Pack!"

"Who's the devil?"

"Astrid, she came here to ask if I can help her. If I can bring her here to see if Atasha became a slave because she wanted to see you suffer. I then remember Melanie... she has her eyes that's why it seems I was controlled or hypnotized by those eyes. I have nightmares every night thinking about it... Now she's part of the Devaraugh family. My own clan, I'm glad that she's able to fulfill her promise to my brother Drogo but seeing you suffer Elijah and seeing your brother Zach that was being manipulated that I can't stomach."

"Peter..." Elijah took a deep breath and he told him not to worry because we're finally moving on but after Peter said I then changed my mind.

"Elijah, we will not be going anywhere. We will stay here. This is something that I have prayed for.  This is Moon Goddess's answer. "

As I finished speaking, Elijah gave me a puzzled glance after turning away instantly.  While Peter was still bending down, he was kneeling on his feet.
