#2 Chapter 21
Chapter 21.
Its been a week and few days already to Luna’s rejection day, she has forgotten about her encounter with Alpha Damien Blackhood of the Black Hood pack just as she promised herself and of course it was so easy to forget all about him as she never saw him again.
Madam Sandra had been acting weird to her too, sometimes, she will be nice and even give her some food while other times, she will be hard on her, which was mostly her everyday character.

All the maids including Luna were in the kitchen doing one thing of the other, the kitchen was wide enough to contain hundreds of people, so none of them had difficulty in moving around.
Some maids were cleaning the floor, some were using the grater to grate the hard vegetables like carrots, garbage etc, some maids were sieving the flour, while others were selecting the grains.
Out of all the works being done in the kitchen, Luna’s own was different from others, she was busy scrubbing the tiles on the wall, she was the only one doing the scrubbing of the walls of the large kitchen, she was greatly sweating, her clothes were damn wet with her own sweat and she was so hungry as she haven’t eaten anything since the morning and they were already in the afternoon.
The door of the kitchen opened and madam Sandra walked in.
“Are you still scrubbing the tiles since morning? Why don’t you be fast with it and go serve yourself some meal from the maids’ portion?” Madam Sandra asked, standing akimbo.
“Thank you so much madam, I’m almost done, I will eat right after.” Luna said, she was feeling happy that that day was a great day as she would be eating.
“And oh! Less I forget, your stepmother is expecting you in her room.” Madam Sandra took a step towards her, “And don’t ask me why because I don’t know.” She quickly added before walking further into the kitchen.
“I will see her before eating.” Luna said, slightly scared of seeing Rebecca.
“I won’t delay a minute more here if I were you.” Madam Sandra left her alone, supervising the maids works and putting some things in place.
Luna sighed, “Let’s see what will happen, meeting stepmother can’t be that hard right?”
She left the kitchen for Rebecca’s room, she bumped into someone as she was busy gazing at her worn out sandals. “Maybe I should inform stepmother that I need another pair, who knows, she may give it to me.” That was her thought when she bumped into the person.
“I’m so sorry.” She apologized before raising her bent head. She wasn’t surprised when she saw Amelia with Carl.
“If its not the unlucky child! Aren’t you suppose to bow to your future alpha?” Amelia said, clutching on Carl’s arm, expecting Luna to get jealous and to clutch her heart in pain because of the mate’s bond. Amelia wanted her to feel emotionally pain since she can’t hit her physically.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Though that was not the first time something like that would happen but strangely, Luna was not in any way jealous, not even the slightest way neither did she felt more than a slight pain in her chest.
Luna sighed before trying to walk pass them but her attempt was not successful because Amelia pulled her back with the arm.
“Are you deaf? Are you trying to ignore your future alpha?” Amelia asked angrily.
Luna didn’t know about Rebecca and Amelia’s stay in the dungeon though she heard of it but she never believed. She thought there was no one around in the pack who can control Rebecca, she thought everyone will fear Rebecca as she was fearing her, forgetting that she was a weak wolf, she thought Amelia was not scared of anything and she can’t almost lose her life just because of not drinking water. So she never believed.
Luna thought everything the people talked about that happened to Amelia and Rebecca during their stay in the dungeon were just some made up stories, stories made up by their enemies.
Though throughout the first few days of their freedom, she never saw Amelia and Rebecca and the maid concluded among themselves that they were still recovering from the shock they faced in the dungeon, even when they were still in the dungeon, she concluded that they traveled, just to be on the saver side.
“Don’t you heard what the lady said?” Carl asked Luna, bringing her out of her thoughts.
Carl was with Amelia because the pack’s alpha and luna were not around, they were on a trip to another pack to discuss about how peace and unity will reign among the neighboring packs and the Crystal pack. So there was no rule guiding against them not seeing each other since the luna was absent.
“What are you thinking?” Amelia asked Luna, snapping her long fingers in front of her face.
“Good day young alpha, may I go now?” She said and asked with a boring look on her face. She didn’t know where the balls she used to talk to them came from, but she was determined to put them in their places that day.
“Aren’t you suppose to be angry and jealous that your mate is with someone else?” Amelia said smirking and something like astonishment glinting in her eyes.
Luna chuckled softly and walked closer to Amelia, “Thanks to the moon goddess that you just make mention of it yourself that he is my mate and not yours. So why will I disturb myself on an unimportant relationship between you and him?” Luna shook her head, staring at Amelia deep in the eyes, “Then I don’t know why you are spilling your disgusting saliva on me. Gosh!” Luna passed out beside Amelia, walking away.
Amelia frowned as she watched Luna left. “What changes?” Amelia wondered.
“I think she is tired. I really think that you should cut the girl some slack.” Carl said, chewing his inner cheek.
Amelia turned back to Carl, “Are you siding with her now?” She asked him, glaring daggers at him.
Carl quickly raised up his hands in surrender, “I was only kidding.”
Not like he was scared of Amelia, but firstly she was his lover, his girlfriend and soon to be luna and secondly, he avoided any physical combat with girls.
“They are too fragile!” He would always say.
“You shouldn’t make it obvious that you now want her because she is your real mate while I’m just a sex tool!” She yelled at Carl and walked away angrily, her face filled with anger and jealousy.
“Baby I don’t understand anything you are saying. I’m pure and I don’t cheat!” Carl yelled after her, but she didn’t answered him. “At least not yet.” He completed that last part in his heart.
