Sold To My Alpha Mate

Maya’s POV

We walked for a couple more miles after our first break and we took another. The journey was barely wearing us off, but we had to do the breaks so we wouldn’t cover less with more fatigue. The more we broke it down, the more we could do.

That’s just some nonsense I was taught somewhere.

Back to real life, we were nearing the border and it was almost time to pull a stunt, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to go get through.

I was known already by many of the warriors and soldiers that I was Venom’s mate. It was even most likely that he informed them already in case they saw me so they would inform him.

I wasn’t sure of what to do. It was just a constant worry and only my intrusive thoughts had helped me get out of the house the other day, not adequate planning.

“Do you have any ideas about what we can do when we are near the territory?” I asked Tianna.

She looked lost for a bit and we both just couldn’t come up with something.

” How about we cut our hair?” She suggested.

I looked at her for a bit, I was bewildered that she would suggest that, but somehow, I was getting sold.

” Maybe if we look unkempt enough and without our hair, we would be less recognizable.” She said.

I thought about it for a while. It seemed like a good idea, I just wasn’t sure if I was ready to change my looks. I wasn’t sure how Venom would take that decision from me or even if I would like myself.

I glanced at her and she seemed really ready to do anything it would take. ” After all, she has an incentive.” I murmured.

” You also have one too.” I told myself.

It was practically two parts of my thoughts arguing with each other.

” Are you sure you’re going to do that?” I asked her once again to be sure.

” Yes, if that’s what it’ll take.” She replied nonchalantly, it was almost like it wouldn’t have been a problem at all even if it were any other situation.

“Can I go first? I’m kind of nervous.” I finally came out to her.

She smiled softly and I felt shy, “there’s no problem. I can use scissors on you and then you’ll use it on me later on.”

We got to working things out and I was positioned between her laps already so she could cut my hair.

I tried to bring up topics and conversations so I could get my mind off of the idea that I was cutting my hair, but the more the strands fell, the more I wanted to just run off and escape due to how I felt.

” Just be calm.” She told me.

I also had to draw inspiration from deep down. I was through worse things already at the hands of my masters during my younger days.

The thought and nervousness finally cleared off and I was done. I didn’t even bother to check it anymore. I was disappointed in myself for being so bothered about sacrificing something as miniscule as my hair.

“Would you like to check it out?” She had asked me.

“No, I’m fine. Let’s cut yours now and then we can roughen our clothes and do something else.” I told her.

She got into the same position and I cut hers down to an almost same length with what she cut for me.

Once we were done, we changed clothes into something more simple than what we were even wearing earlier. Provisions have been made for any type of situation already.

After what I went through the last time, I made sure I was backed up in case of anything. At least, I didn’t lag in that part.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Everything was ready and we were prepared to walk more miles so we could get out of the pack’s territory finally.

“Are you prepared for this? Maybe if things go south, we can just use the fact that I’m the Luna. That should work or maybe not.”

I wasn’t sure of anything and I laid it out straight to her. She only looked at me and smiled in return. I was mightily surprised that I found someone who was so determined to join me in what I was doing.

“Thank you very much.” I told her. She looked taken aback, but she deserved it.

“For what?” She asked humbly.

“For your bravery and how much you’re helping. I just need to figure these things out and we should be done with these hardships.” I told her.

“You’re welcome,” she replied to me.

My mind was no longer worried about Venom as I was before we had set out. Something calmed me more after remembering my background and how things were for me before they transformed.

“All will be well soon.” I told myself.

We walked longer and we were nearing the environment. I felt a bit nervous about things but my mind was more clouded with determination to get things done.

I couldn’t just let myself fail that way. “I suggest we rest a bit before we go to them. I just want to have more time to think and to be prepared.” I explained.

She didn’t haggle and we both sat down calmly. I took out a bottle of water so I could consume it. It was refreshing, but that was the least of my worries.

I silently prayed to the gods so I wouldn’t be easily recognized. I did all I had to do already in an attempt to not get identified easily, Tianna wouldn’t be recognized too. While I prayed, an idea popped in my head.

“Hey, I’ve got an idea.” I called Tianna’s attention to myself.

“What’s that?”

“We’ll go as travellers or poor people, but the main theme would be you being the elder sister and I’ll be the younger one. I’d be covered up just as a guise of nervousness.”

“Anything you’d like to add? I’m still coming up with things to use.” I stopped midway.
