The Rejected Luna: Daddy, Where is Mommy?

“Dare you use the pack’s name under your personal intention? You weren’t happy with Chloe’s arrival from the moment I told you about her, and it was written all over your face at that time. You’re doing this to torture her, don’t you?”

“I won’t stoop that low. I can never think of hurting anyone. You know that, right?”

“I doubt I do. And maybe I was wrong to think that we should think to give ‘US’ a try because you definitely don’t deserve it. I wonder how your father handled that toxic woman for around twenty-five years, but I won’t make a mistake of doing it for that long.”

Cinder whimpered in fear, thinking about the meaning behind Calvin’s words while Ethlyn held a poker face. “Then go ahead. Reject me.” She spoke, and her own voice started acting like acid on her tongue. “You were right about the part that you were wrong to think that we should think to give ‘US’ a try because it’s not me, but it’s you who doesn’t deserve me.” She said, glaring at him in anger.

“Don’t try to blame me now. This all is happening because of your stupid stunt. The topic of rejection started because you pissed me off to the extent that…

“… that you couldn’t see the damage you did with your words?” Ethlyn questioned. “Every couple has disagreements between them, but they don’t plan to reject each other just after the first fight. I know everything is new for you, but that doesn’t mean that you haven’t stayed with your family and haven’t countered this situation ever in your life.”

“And most importantly, you just can’t treat me like a queen in front of the whole world and treat me like a door mate when we are alone.” She growled at him in anger. “This… this rejection is not in my hand because I haven’t marked you yet, but leaving you is definitely in my control, and I won’t mind LEAVING you forever.”

“Ahh,” Ethlyn cried in pain when Calvin grabbed hold of her hair and brought her inches away from his face so that Ethlyn could stare right into his eyes. Ethlyn was taken aback, observing the pain in his eyes about the thought of her leaving him.

“As if I will let you go.” He whispered against her eyes, and her body trembled in response. “Learn to deal with my attitude because you’ve got to handle it your whole life.”

Ethlyn couldn’t understand whether she should be mad at him at that moment and observed his sentence where he mentioned, ‘your whole life.’

She furrowed her eyebrow before asking, “My whole life? What does that mean? Am I dying soon?”

“What? No!!” Calvin looked at her in shock and was surprised at her killing his mood. He was going to confess that he finally decided that he would choose his princess’s happiness over his. He was going to confess that he had decided to choose her over Chloe.

He opened his mouth to explain when Lemieux mind linked him, ‘Alpha, Rose is missing.’

A moment before!!

Chloe’s eyes widened when she found Roselet looking at her, but then she sighed in relief when Roselet opened the door and walked inside.

‘Thank god she didn’t hear anything.’ Chloe thought and placed a small smile on her lips.

“Hey, beautiful,” Chloe spoke with a smile.

“Hii again,” Roselet responded with a smile. “I told you earlier that I have seen you somewhere, remember?”

“Of course I did. I told you to let me know if you will remember where you saw me.” Chloe responded nonchalantly.

“That’s why I’m here. To tell you, where did I see you?” Roselet said in excitement as if she had solved the puzzle. “I have seen you in CCTV footage of the mating ball.” The moment Roselet said this, the color of Chloe’s face faded.

“I had watched that video multiple times, so I remember that you accidentally hit mommy when she was drinking something, and she even talked with you because I saw her turning in your direction.” Roselet said, finally solving the mystery but little did she know she had unknowingly pulled the ground floor under Chloe’s feet.”

It was indeed Chloe who had drugged Ethlyn and had control of her mind, making her walk into Calvin’s room, leaving her own when she was in heat. But she hadn’t thought a girl of barely five years would catch her. That, too, this soon.

“You have attended that mating ball, don’t you?” Roselet asked to confirm whether she was right or not. “I mean, around five years back?”

“No, beautiful. I didn’t attend any mating ball back then. If I would have attended that ball, then your daddy and I would have been together. You’re mistaken about some other woman like me. There are seven people of the same face, you know.” Chloe lied smoothly because she knew that Roselet could smell lies at this age.

“Really?” Roselet asked in surprise.

“Yes, dear. It’s true. You can confirm with your father about the same.” Chloe offered and sighed in relief when she realized that Roselet had almost believed her.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Okay, I’m going to ask daddy about the same and will ask him whether the girl from the video is really you or not!! It will be fun to see whether he will able to guess the right answer or not.” Roselet said in excitement and turned her heels to leave from there.

“Wait, beautiful!!” Chloe quickly stopped her before that little pup would end up revealing her identity. She knew that she had to do something before her game would be ruined, “I told you that woman is not me.”

Roselet smiled before replying, “I do not doubt you, but my uncle says that you shouldn’t trust anyone blindly.”

“He has given you indeed a good lesson, beautiful,” Chloe said with a smirk, and now she knew where she had to attack.
