Not Dumb, But Ignorant

"I have no idea what the heck is going on, but I just found out that the witch Celeste is going to be the future Luna of the Alpha of the Blood Rose Pack. I don't know what the hell is going on. It takes my breath away, and I just can't believe it!" I overheard a woman muttering in the clump of trees, and it appears as though they are talking trash about me. They were laughing, and I just do not know what part of my wolf felt was triggered by it, but I did not have any reaction to it. I just know that I should be angry because they're calling me a witch, and I have thoughts of it; however, my heart is just declining about it, and it calms me down. I just know that I should be supposed to be angry. "But you're going to see the witch that you're talking about," I mumbled, as I abruptly appeared in front of them with a broad smile that spread across my face, and they both looked at each other while laughing. "She's not yet the Luna . . ." she-wolf says, while the other girl shakes her head. "What are your plans, exactly? I'm worried because I anticipate that you will act in an illogical manner. You are aware that we must risk losing our lives to get it!" she spoke louder, even though she was attempting to speak more quietly; however, I was still able to hear what she was saying, and as a result, I smirked. I still have no idea what is going on. "What are you all attempting to accomplish here?" I questioned while laughing and playing with my hair at the same time. I still have no idea what is going on with it, and I can see that they are rolling their eyes, but all I do is give them a blank expression and act as if it is of no consequence to me, even though it is very certain. When another person is attempting to do something, it makes me feel uncomfortable. It doesn't hurt and it doesn't scare me, but I'll never stop standing up to the people who were responsible for the circumstances that led to my birth. The she-wolf with the broad face and the intent to accomplish something confronted me with full confidence in her abilities. She was examining my hair and my clothing at the same time. "I heard you eat a f*****g snake," she said in a low voice, and then they both burst out laughing. I raised an eyebrow, but I still don't have any words or comments to go along with it. "I am aware that you are employing the Alpha King in conjunction with it. It seems inconceivable that he would find a partner as a wonderful witch as you, yet you accepted it even though you are notorious for having no heart, and therefore we are free to inflict as much pain on you as we possibly can," she screamed at me, attempting to intimidate me with her facial expressions and the way that she twisted those phrases, and I am still dumbfounded while gazing at the pair of them. The other girl who is acting afraid is standing next to her with the tiniest smile on her face. "What do you think of his touch? How does it feel to consume the meal that both humans and wolves have prepared? You don't even qualify as a typical individual . . . Huh? I despise how you shine." The timid girl has finally shown who she is, and while I gulped and straightened my hair, I kept the expressionless expression on my face. They look at me again, and the girl who is way too overconfident slowly pushes me away, but I don't let myself fall. "I don't know what are you all on," I confidently stated, and they peeked at each other, again and again, while laughing together. "Oi? Do you think I'll stand by and allow someone to physically hurt me?" I spoke in a whisper. "Even if you are going to suck some of my blood, I will not let you. I'll never feel anything else, but if I do to you what you did to me, then you'll feel the pain while I f*****g don't feel it at all. I'll never feel anything else." That is not correct. I have no compassion at all. I don't have a heart, so I can't feel anything about other people or things that could hurt me; it's all meaningless to me. The only thing that hurts me is when someone takes blood from me, and then I do the same thing they did. She laughed, and the girl behind her appeared to not want her to do something due to her fear, but she continued to support her buddy who was still behaving dominantly in front of me. I joined in on her smirk. "You got that right. We are going to have a contest of staring at each other, and I suppose that you would immediately win that because I enjoy doing the smiling thing . . . And I'm not sure how I should respond to this terrifying scenario for you because I care about you so much." I went on to say that she eventually made her face look like a poker as if she had just converted into an awful person, even though I did not feel anything about it. "Every adolescent is afraid of me. Why should I be afraid of you just because of the rumors that you're a witch? You can cast your curse on me, Celeste; you will become more well-known as a result of our King; nevertheless, you should not even pretend that you are more important than we are. Even yet, the King will continue to have faith in us—" I couldn't control my laughter. "If I were a witch, I would cast a spell over you right now that you will have a scratch on your face, and your dream man will turn his back on you, and no one will like you, and even the Alpha will be allergic to your new ugly face." because of my loud speech, which caused her eyes to be wide open, I was afraid of her. She mumbled, "No . . . " as an answer. "There is just no way—" "You sorceress!" she screamed as she ran away, and the other girl quickly grabbed her hand so that the two of them could run away together. I couldn't help but smile as I watched them flee, but when I turned my gaze to the primary direction of the palace, I couldn't help but frown. I wasn't expecting to see the Alpha King, and whenever we're around here, we never even know if there's someone who's watching us, so I'm never sure how to react when I'm in this area. I heaved a breath out as I placed my hand on my neck and elevated my palm while smiling through my teeth. He broke out into that broad smile that covered his entire face. That's a nice touch. Additionally, he traveled here by himself to pick me up at this hour, which was unnecessary for me. "Why are you even in this place? In any case, it makes me wonder why I'm here in the first place." I spoke, and he only laughed when we were extremely close to one another, and when I took a deep breath while looking at his face same time. "You have a very alluring appearance," I told him, and a blush spread across his cheeks. I'm telling him the truth not because I want the compliment or because I want him to believe that I'm attached to him. I don't even realize what I've said. "You were the one who said that," he says. "And what exactly is the deal with that?" I enquired about it as I was about to walk away to go to the spot that I used to go to, but he unexpectedly grabbed my waist, which caused me to turn around and face him with a confused expression on my face, and he gasped. "Where do you intend to go?" I shrugged, and he slowly removed his hand from my waist as he asked the question in a quiet tone, indicating that he was attempting to calm himself down as a result of being overly curious. "To the location where I used to belong, and when they wanted to see me as a witch, I would let myself be called that rather than being called highly known because of someone else. To the place where they wanted to see me as a witch. You are aware that I don't require the assistance of anyone, correct?" I am attempting to demonstrate that even a powerful somebody like him is not required of me, and while I do not know what the outcome of that will be, he was rendered mute as a result of my efforts. Did I just make a mistake with what I said? It is not my intention to offend anyone with what I have to say; all I want to do is demonstrate who I am and what I am capable of. "You say it wrong," Ziegler murmured inside of me, and I am the only one who can hear those comments from her, so I laughed to myself as I listened to them. "You are well aware, aren't you, Atlas? You don't think I made a mistake with what I said, do you? I'm just being myself, and you can expect that to never change about me." I mumbled and laughed out loud at the same moment. "I choose this," he mumbled under his breath. I c****d my head to the side. "What?" I mumbled, which caused him to giggle as he looked at me while shaking his head. "I seldom say anything, so please don't take offense, Celeste, but you are aware that provision of the contract exists, and you agreed to abide by it. You are not permitted to travel anyplace without another person accompanying you, and I will not allow my future self Luna to come to any harm—" "Atlas, do you believe that I'll come to any harm?" I questioned him while turning around to look at him with an expressionless face. "Atlas, I'm not sure I get what the big deal is about it. I have no idea. When it came to surviving in the dark for who knows how many years in a setting that resembled a jungle, I don't see what the point of having other men around was." I added. "I have never asked for anything else along with it because all I want are grasses and little animals. I am all alone . . ." I mumbled, and while I was thinking about that, I had a realization. I have no feelings, and I will never have any comprehension of anything; I will never know what it is like to be aware of anything. I will never feel emotions, but that does not make me an i***t. I am confident that I will be the most powerful and intelligent woman in history, even though there are times when I am the most dim-witted. "I'm sorry, Atlas," I whispered. I don't even know what's the reason or cause for me to apologize when I know to myself that I didn't do something bad and he chuckled. "What? There is no justification for you to make such a statement. I believe that I will accompany you—" "No. Why don't we just head back to the palace? I'm sure you have something important to take care of as well." I was the one who interrupted him and started walking ahead of him, but I paused in the middle of the path and turned around to face him just in time to see that he was not following me. "I suppose I turned around to ask you something, but you could interpret that action on my part as a sign that I have suspicions about you." I joked. I am aware that I have a very unique sense of humor, and the things that made me laugh may not even be humorous to other people, while the things that other people find amusing may not make any sense to me at all. "No, you can walk first, I noticed that there's a lot of strange things been happening since the time that you've become my mate." A topic came about danger or something terrible things always drew my attention that stopped and prevented me from walking. "What do you mean?" I asked him. I found that I missed seeing people pass away while their blood was spilled all over the ground. Knowing that other people were crying gave me a sense of solace, and the knowledge that they did so made me believe that what was happening was for the best. I believe that sobbing is perfectly normal. I have the impression that I am not normal, yet I am aware that I am normal; the difference is that I do not consider many things to be important enough to shed tears over. That's what you call being dramatic. "I don't want to pressure you with it," He said, and his beta came and even gave me a bow before he approached the Alpha. At this point, I am only observing them from a distance. The beta hushed something that I desperately want to hear, and I can tell from the expression in his eyes that it is something potentially harmful. I am aware that those men are still following me; after all, there are a lot of men who wanted to get me to demonstrate to the rest of the world that I am a witch. I am not frightened by it. I'm afraid of how desperate they are, how psychopathic they are, and how delusional they are, but there's no way that someone like them could ever get me. It makes no difference to me because I'm eager to take on the challenge, but I'm sure that once they're involved, the members of this pack will refer to me as bad luck. I have no idea what constitutes true misfortune. I only know that a witch is someone who has bad luck, and that describes me. I know nothing about anything else, but I am incredibly knowledgeable about fighting in wars and everything there is to know about safeguarding myself. "Just what is going on here? Do I need to be aware of it?" I asked. I can't help but feel confused, even though I am well aware of the significance of the matter. They have a good mind. They would shout such phrases if it wasn't that deep, and they are well aware that I don't give a f**k about things that I'm not involved in. There's a possibility that I'm involved in that situation, so why am I thinking about it? No. I am not concerned; instead, I am at ease and am maintaining my composure regarding it. "Celeste, there is no reason for you to be aware of this. It's not all that profound—" "What exactly are you referring to? It's not a big enough problem that you're going to tell me to leave it alone since it's not very deep, so there's no reason for me to be concerned about it. I couldn't care less, but please tell me." even though my curiosity is getting the best of me, I can't help but call out to them. Atlas ran up to me and gently touched my hand to put me at ease. "Atlas, I'm not sure about that. You are obligated to let me know. Which kind of deep is it, exactly? What are you trying to say? I am not a fool to believe you if you reassure me that there is nothing for me to be concerned about even though I am aware that it is a vital word in a dangerous context."
