Chasing the rejected Luna

54: Facing her

I woke up groggily, vaguely aware of the day before. But after some time, they came back in pieces and embarrassment threatened to overcome me But luckily, Alexander wasn't present in the room.

The huge thick comforter brought me warmth as I looked down on myself. I was still in my undies to my relief but my head pounded and I felt a wave of nausea as I tried to stand up from the bed.

Sitting back down, my hands came up my head while I massaged my temples. I knew I shouldn't be in my panties as I felt a chill even though the windows were closed. And like before, I felt sick like before which was rare since I've gotten my wolf already.

I looked up at the clock which was just by the side of the room and I found it to be past ten already. Getting out of bed, I walked into the bathroom and washed myself with the little strength in me.

I was itching throughout while I dressed up in my favorite hoodies and slack pants. That was what I just needed for the type of mood I was in. And the itch was because I wanted to see Alexander. The memary of last night came to me while I applied a little lipgloss to my pale lips.

Smacking them together, I looked at myself in the mirror and was somehow satisfied with what I saw. I had gained more weight since the last time I checked my reflection without feeling like shit or overwhelmed with emotions.

Walking out of the room, my stomach rumbled to let me know just how hungry I was. Thinking about it, I realized I hadn't eaten since the day before in the morning.

While I walked, I couldn't help but think to myself how I would talk to Alexander about my pregnancy. Somehow, he would come to know of it eventually. But I guess I was just scared of his reaction. It was something we hadn't planned. Would he reject my baby and also have to reject me because of something that wasn't entirely my fault? Or would he dance with joy?

The thought of it made my head bang a little harder and I couldn't help but push it to the back of my mind. Although, I knew it was wrong to keep pushing back the thoughts. If Alexander learned of it and wasn't happy about it, it would be worse if he found out about it from another source.

My heart started beating while I made my way to the kitchen. I disregarded Orion's words about finding him in case I needed something. That sounded lame to me. I was a member of the pack and not a prisoner. So I could go anywhere I wanted to go.

Except the moment I turned the corner, I regretted that thought. I had been too fast to admit it to myself. "Sophia," Dianne's mother whispered and I felt my limbs turn to lead.

She was standing in front of me, wearing a red gown that flared just at her waist and stopped at her hind legs. It was the gown I picked up for her for her birthday two years ago.

I thought standing in front of her would bring back the pain and I would bolt, humiliating myself once more. But that wasn't what happened. Instead, I felt rage.

"You have no right to call me by my name!” "And why is that?" She smirked, wearing it so well like the emotion was part of her.

I balked my fists, "You ask me that? You killed Rudolph and pinned the blame on me while pretending to love me!" I seethed, "What did I ever do to you?"

She shrugged like she could not be bothered by my question, "Nothing. You seemed like the perfect target for it. And you fell for it so easily. I hurt you, didn't 1?" She asked, a slow smile stretching her lips.

I balled my fists hard until I felt pain in my hand. I knew I had probably hurt myself with my fingernails or claws as I balled my fists hard.

"You don't have to be angry. But I guess it was for the best. Your mother had everything she needed. She was a thief as she stole everything from me,” she scoffed.

"I don't understand," I asked her out of curiosity instead of the string of curses that threatened to come out of me

"She had everything! She was just too good because she was what? A descendant of the moon goddess," she stopped and laughed and I felt another wave of rage.

"What did you do to my mother?" I asked, temporarily forgetting about my headache. "What do you think? I am just an ordinary Werewolf. So what can I possibly do to her?” “You knew what I was all along. Was that the reason you decided to frame me?" I stepped closer to her, my anger controlling me.

"Maybe. But you better leave this pack if you don't want Alexander to be in trouble,” she smiled and I stiffened. I could take that she would go to lengths to hurt me

But not Alexander. He had protected me while I kept on hating him foolishly. I knew he was an Alpha but that little part of me where I just couldn't help but get protective sprang into action

"Don't touch Alexander," I growled, the sound of my voice startling me and also Dianne’s mother as her eyes widened. She took a step back but I couldn't detect any fear in her eyes.

"If I don't, what will you do?" She smirked and I ground my teeth, glaring lasers at her. "Don’t say I didn't warn you. Losing his position as Alpha would be the least of his worries.”

And her words made the anger evaporate from my pores, "What do you mean?"

"Oh, Alexander didn't tell you? Poor baby,” she cooed mockingly before laughing out loud. I furrowed my brows at her insane acts.

"Alexander is about to lose his position as Alpha. And do you know why?" After gétting no response from me,.shé continued, "And that is

I took in a shaky breath, "You're evil. How could you be so cruel?” She shrugged, "I've been called worse so this is nothing to me."

"My goodness," I ran a hand through my hair, but my eyes never left hers. Running a hand through my hair brought a sharp pain to my skull. But I couldn't care less because my thoughts were occupied with Alexander.

"I won't let you hurt Alexander."

"And how do you plan on doing that? Through your wolf? I heard you took after your mother, sticking your nose in places where it isn't meant to be. Just be a good girl and reject Alexander and I would keep the secret that you are pregnant for Ryven a secret," she said with a glint in her eyes.

I froze in my spot. How did she find out I was pregnant? Fear threatened to overcome me but I pushed it aside. She was my enemy now who wanted to watch me crumble till nothing was left of me

I won't give her the satisfaction of seeing me at my weakest again. The woman was nothing like the person in my memory. The woman in my memory died the moment she talked about harming Alexander.

“Don't be surprised. I have my ways.” "How do you know the baby belongs to Ryven and not Alexander?" I asked, slowly taking control of my emotions.

"That's easy. But why should I tell you? I won't even if you beg. Just do yourself a favor and leave and never return. You have no idea how many people want you dead here,” she said and it was my turn to smirk.

Lies. No one wanted me dead here as much as she did. Everything she did, she did for her selfish game. She had everything all planned out. Just how much did she plan all out? Was it also her plan for me to come back to the pack? Or was my return a surprise to her? A foil to her perfectly made-out plans?

"Bold of you tgassume I would take the advice ofSomeone who wants to bring meypain. I belong to this pack as much as you belong heres And yotshave no right to tell mew whatior what not to do. I'll be-your Lunasoon and the earlier you start giving me my respect, the-better for you,’ I spat, appalled by her words.

"Don't say I didn't warn you. Anything that happens to you from now on, will be entirely your fault."NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

"Get lost. When I'm made Luna, the first person I would throw to the dungeons would be you so you'll experience guys how awesome that place is,” I smirked.

"I'd like to see you try. Remember you're only a little girl who knows nothing but to stick your nose in places that don't concern you. The former Alpha couldn't de anything to me. I'd like to know what you are capable of, " she smirked and walked past me without looking back.

Her words rang out in the halls. She threatened me. As much as I tried to console myself that she was just bark and no bite, I knew she wasn't.

She killed her stepson and I couldn't help but pray fer his soul. Rudolph didn't deservé such a cruel fate. And I wondered, how his father was => taking it‘The death of his only sor dealt Auge blow to him.

I continued walking but this time, my destination was Alexander's office because it would be bad if Dianne's mother got to him first about my pregnancy.

Getting to the door of his office, I found the room dark but I knew he was there. His smell was stronger. And I found him by the window just like I had when I first walked into the pack.

The feel of the office made dread settle into the pit of my stomach. I closed the door with a soft click, while I watched his very still frame.

"Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me the baby in you isn't Ryven's," he whispered and my heart leaped to my mouth. My fears came true. Dianne's mother got to him first. And probably filled his head with a lot of lies.

“You're wrong.” I swallowed and he turned around, his face a mask of pain.
