-“TELL Raine you’re forgiving her.” Calvin looked away once he told me this. My brows furrowed, both in surprise and disbelief. He can’t be saying this.I’ve been mean, and it shows. It shows a lot on how I acted and swore to make Raine’s life a living hell these past few days, yet it was clear—most definitely clear that what I experienced earlier today wasn’t something I can just provide forgiveness for.And much more to someone who didn’t even take the courage to apologize for what she did wrong!“No, I am not doing that.” I stated, gritting my teeth to calm myself. I gave him a small grin as though trying to catch the joke he was trying to play on me, but he didn’t respond with the same humor.“Maryna—” “You know you’re being ridiculous, right?” I pulled my hand away from the sheets when he was trying to reach it out.“You know I can’t just keep my wolf deprived of her mate’s affection. ” he explained like that would justify anything he has done until now.“And you can’t just for
“WHAT do you mean, Luna?” a curious tone from one of the pack members surrounding Raine asked. I crossed my arms against my chest to look at her. She was once my student in the training session I was doing a few moons ago.“How do you see me, Sophia?” I called her by name and her eyes grew widen in determination. It shows respect as it was gazing up at me to answer my question. She was thinking hard before saying,“Dark and . . . menacingly . . elegant?” she answered which everyone agreed upon. I then turned my gaze towards Raine who was already shaking in fear before a mocking smile unconsciously appeared on my face. “What do you think, doesn’t this dress speak a lot like me, Ladies?” I pointed my closed fan up and down at Raine’s obstinate posture. The audience was hesitant, but after a few seconds of staring at the gown the star of today’s ball was wearing, they slowly saw the picture I was trying to tell and agreed, instantly murmuring to themselves. The fun then began after that
I GRIP my still stinging cheek to look at Raine. Her chest was heaving up and down, yet she glued her eyes on my own, trying to stay as strong as she deem herself to be. My eyes were wide. Wide both in shock with a fair share of anger. I can almost hear everyone’s breath from how quiet the place came to be when the loud sound of my cheek against Raine’s palm tuned up the entire dining area.Calvin who was standing and talking to the Penston pack’s council turned to notice everyone’s silence before his eyes found the commotion happening between the two ladies he’s keeping beside him.One was useful, the other was for love.“You bitch!” my hand instantly found itself on her hair, entangling around her pink strands as she shrieked under my grasps. The Penston Pack gasped at their Luna’s lunatic behavior, but at this point, there was no stopping me. I had enough of her, and now that she’s cut the remaining string of patience I have, I can no longer keep my stance.“Ah! Calvin!” She was
MY heart raced at their topic. I was their topic, and Raine even participated in it. A backhanded comment, I must say, she still manage to mention how I was blinded with jealousy. I grit my teeth, turning my head away to ignore their chatters. There was no good in trying to let my emotions get the best of me. I had my fair share of attempts in slitting her throat and every one of then ended in me either punished or ignored, meanwhile her — a sobbing, annoying mess which everyone attends to.I can’t let myself get involve this ti—“You guys . . . You shouldn’t call her that way . . . even if she is.” I stop desd in my tracks, slowly turnung over to what they were saying?She agreed?I clench and unclenched my fist, trying my best to calm myself. The door was right in front of me and the pack warriors guarding the door was off to their shift in roaming the barrier for any intruders, which was why I was the only one here.One step inside the pack house and I will no longer suffer to hea
The sting followed right after yet I remained frozen in my spot. Gasped from the Omegas filled the air and the deadly silence between Calvin and I. As for Raine, she stopped bawling her eyes out. I didn’t know if it was like a baby, she was already satisfied enough to shut her mouth after seeing me get hurt by his mate, or if it was plain shock.To avoid tuning my anger even more on her, I resorted to simply believe the latter. “You will never, ever call her that again.” Calvin muttered, yet I didn’t look at him, I lowered my head instead, staring at my sandals as I felt them distancing away. I bit my lip, trying to remain as calm as possible before I finally had the courage to raise my head, staring at their backs as they walked away from me.Calvin’s hand was placed at the low if Raine’s back and I can still hsar how he’s consoling her. He didn’t look back. I waited and waited for him to at least take a look.What if I collapsed? Or was suddenly attacked by a rogue just past this
“Why is he here?” I gritted the words from my teeth to Elliot to avoid getting caught murmuring. He shakes his head in confusion before mumbling a small, “I don’t know either.” The fight earlier ended in blaring hot seats, I don’t think I’m particularly ready to see him or hear his voice once more right now.He’s already just behind Elliot when he asked his question once more. His eyes even gazed down my body and seeing how I just came out of the bathroom gave the picture an eveen more suspicious look.“I said what are you two doing?” I bite the insides of my cheeks before rolling my eyes at him. I breathe deeply from the pits of my stomach where the remains of patience I have left lies, and to try awaken it so I won’t be pouncing towards Calvin in my wolf form from the anger I’m currently feeling.“Not any of your concerns, in all honesty.” I sarcastically retorted, smiling widely at him. His face turnes red from frustration and he was just about to reach over to Elliot’s shoulders
WHAT did he just say? I can’t afford these Macarons? Hah! If I could only show him how much of a rich Luna I am.“Y-you—can’t just say that!” I aggressively pushed him to the side just as he was about to place his order. I smile at the lady and with my index finger, I slowly push the gold coin to the side where he was.“Since he’s not obligated to pay for any of my purchases, please ignore his whining. I am paying for it.” I smile.“Whine?” he growls right at me and I glare at him, yet the moment my eyes met his, something churned inside of me and his eyes grew wide.“What the fuck . . . ?” He has the most gorgeous midnight eyes I have ever seen. I thought mine was the darkest shade an orb could ever have, but turns out, someone would have darker ones and even more glorious!I have never adored my black eyes due to its mediocrity, but now that I’m seeing his, it was like getting lost in the ocean or a forest at night and you’re instantly going to know the way just by looking at that m
I dropped down the marble floors, yet still kept the Macarons clean as much as my breaking self could. My tears were endless as it cascaded down my cheeks. Only sobs were heard from the hallway where the Alpha and the Luna’s room was.I don’t know why I’m even crying. I expected this. This is the path that I choose. I thought I’ll be okay with her there. Is there anything far worse than this? I swallowed the lump in my throat, trying to regain my composure. The steps from the other side of the door behind me reached my senses. I instantly wiped the tears from my eyes and was about to walk away to at least get a grip of myself before seeing whoever between Raine and Calvin came to see me in such a state.Elliot was frantic, yet he didn’t know what to do. He never saw me crying this much and he’s aware how much I hate sympathy. He helped me get up from the cold grip of the marble floor that seems to be luring me inside me of it, giving me a cold comfort I never thought I’d ever need.
