CHAPTER THREE
The next day, I wake up with a million thoughts in my head but one stick out the most. I can’t stop thinking about what my mate said yesterday. Why would he say such a thing to me? I can’t think of what he meant in his words. I walk downstairs after freshen up. I was a little sad I slept alone. I actually thought we were going to sleep in the same room. I know mates complete the mating process hours after finding each other. I walk downstairs to find a beautiful brunette standing in hallway.
“Good morning Luna” She says with a soft smile
“Hello and I am not your Luna yet” I say, returning the smile.
“But you are our Alpha king’s mate”
“Yes I am but I have not been marked by him” I say, showing her my neck
“Even though, I should still call you Luna”
“Not really and we could argue all day if you should call me Luna or not. Can you please tell me who you are and why you are here?” I say, cutting to the chase
“My name is Charlotte. I am the beta’s mate. I am here to take you to breakfast”
“Oh, why can’t I have breakfast here? I remember seeing a kitchen when Dan showed me around. I could easily cook something for myself”
“We have breakfast in the pack house so that they can do a head count”
“Breakfast must be compulsory around here”
“Not, really but it’s necessary to attend. And why won’t anyone want to eat breakfast? It’s the first meal of the day”
“Sometimes you might not be hungry”
“That’s true and we should get going so we won’t be late”
“Alright, let’s go” I say following behind Charlotte as she leads us outside
We stop walking once we arrive at a huge mansion. I think this is the pack house. We walk inside and stop once we arrive at a huge dining area. The table looks like it can hold up to 20 people.
“Does everyone eat together?” I ask Charlotte
“Not really”
“Explain please”
“The Alpha eats with his officials while the lower rank members eat with each other”
“Oh, and where are we going to seat?” I looked around earlier and almost all the seats are taken
“You are going seat there while I seat beside my mate” She says pointing to the right side of my mate. He is seated at the head of the table. I smelled him when I walked into the pack house but I didn’t see him until now.
“Oh,” I say and start walking towards where she pointed. I reach my mate and I can hear growling in delight at been so close to him. This is the first time she done anything since we arrived
‘How are you feeling’ I ask Eva
Eva was badly injured during the fight. I was in wolf form the whole time
‘I am good, thanks to your human doctors’
‘That’s good’
‘Why has our mate refused to mark us?’
‘Why are you asking me like I would know the answer to that?’
‘I am sure, he is angry at us because you dated that stupid human boy’
‘He is not stupid but oh what am I saying. Yes you are right Matt is stupid but I don’t think he knows we dated anyone’
‘Don’t say we human, you because I told you I hated that boy around us’
‘Don’t worry you won’t be seeing him for a long time’
‘You can’t imagine how happy I am to hear you say that’
I come back earth from my conversation with my wolf once I hear someone speaking to me
“Are you going to stand there all day or sit down” My mate says, in a harsh tone. I actually don’t know his name. He did not even care to introduce himself to me, so much about us been mates. And why does he talk to me so rudely all the time.
“Sit down” I say and take myself seat
“Just because you are sitting here does not mean what I said yesterday has changed”
“I never assumed that”
“Good because I am never going to make you Queen. I don’t need a Luna”
“Why?” I am shocked with what he just said to me. I know I am might not be the best at fighting but I feel I am strong wolf and worthy to be a Luna.
“Because I don’t need a woman making things difficult for me”
“How would I make things difficult?”
“The only thing you woman contribute is making us men weak”
“How?”
“I don’t need to explain everything to you. My decision is final; I am never making you Luna Queen. Just stick that in your head”
“If you don’t plan to make me Luna Queen, why am I here?”
“To make sure you don’t become a liability to me”
“Excuse me”
“You heard me,” He says staring at me with his dark eyes at me.
To say I am baffled would be an understatement. What kind of mate says these words to you? Women are not weak, why would he have such a shallow mind set.
After that awkward breakfast which I did not eat anything because I was pissed off the whole time. I am in the gardens helping Charlotte with her flowers. Charlotte saw how down I was after breakfast and asked me if I wanted to help her in her gardens which I agreed to. While we are attending to her roses I notice that the men are outside training and my mate is leading them. I can’t help but admire him as trains. He is shirtless and sweeting and to me to looks like his body is glittering in the sun, as his 6 abs shine brightly in my face. I can’t imagine what it would feel like underneath my fingers. Every time he flexes his muscles I feel myself falling for him more even though the mate bond is playing well to my reactions.
Once we are done with the flowers, we walk back to the Alpha’s house to eat find something to eat but only me though. We find nothing in the fridge already made so I decide to cook something. While cooking I mistakenly cut myself because I was in engrossed in my conversation with Charlotte
“Oh, my sorry” Charlotte says
“Its fine, it’s just a small wound and it would heal before you know it” I say and place my cut finger under running water to wash the blood away.
“I know but it would still hurt a little before it heals”
“Don’t worry, I’m …..” I don’t get to finish my statement when my mate strolls in demanding what happened
“Where are you hurt” He says, walking over to me and checks my body from head to toe
“I am not hurt”
“I felt your pain, through the bond”
“It was a small knife wound”
“If you don’t know how to use a knife, then don’t use one” He says, a little louder than normal. He sounds pretty angry with the fact that I used a knife. Wow, and I thought I had seen it all with his words this morning. Now he is angry because I used a knife. I am starting to think he hates me.
“I would be careful next time and I didn’t know the bond was that strong though we have not completed the mating process.”
“Just because I have not pounded you till you couldn’t walk the next day.” He says, taking dangerous steps close to me. “Made you scream my name like you have never screamed in your life and left my mark on you, does not mean I can’t feel you” He says and finally stops walking once my back hits the wall. All I can do is stare into those beautiful blue eyes of his that are filled with darkness. I can feel my lady parts react with every word he said. I can’t believe he can make me angry one moment and the next hot for him. This man is going to the death of me.
“I will be extra careful next time” I say as I feel my breath bounce back to me because of how close we are
“Good” He says and walks away.
