Chapter Six

It’s a curse that we always get broken by the people that make us whole…-A. J Lawless

Still Chaos’s P.O.V

Following my mate's scent, I allow it to lead me to wherever he was. I stopped when his scent became prominent in a particular place.

Exchanging a last text with my mother, I slipped the phone back into my back pocket before lifting my head to take in my surroundings and the sight I saw sent a knife through my already cold heart.

I knew my mate and this pack were too good to be true. My mate sat at the head of what looked like the pack dining table with a woman in his lap chatting animatedly.

Calling on to my birth given ability, I cloaked my scent and self before venturing into the room to listen to their conversation.

"You know you would have to get up before my mate returns right?" My mate asked the lady on his lap rather seriously

"But we use to do this all the time and you didn’t complain honey?" the girl said with a frown on her face

"Yeah I know and I still don’t have a problem with it but my mate is here and I don’t want her to see this?"

"Fine I understand but you won't stop sleeping with me right. We’ve come so far to stop now baby"

Chuckling softly, my mate said “Yeah I know. I never said we were stopping, did I? Now give me a kiss"

They were locked in a rather passionate kiss when Felecia entered the room. I was expecting her to rebuke her son or something but boy was I wrong...

With a small smile on her face, she said "You two know how to put a smile on my face. When will this fling end huh? Tricia, you know his mate is up there right?"

"I know Mama River. But for one, we aren't ending this anytime soon… Jay Bear said so and two, what she doesn't know won't hurt her" Tricia said with a smug smirk on her face.

Having heard enough, I walked back to the entrance I was previously coming from and uncloaked myself.

Letting my scent and my alpha aura leak out heavily. I took in deep breaths whiles trying to get Havoc and our other side under control.

I guess this mating was like a joke to them. No wonder he didn’t mark me and react like alpha's who found their mates normally would.

He had someone else that is why he was so laid back and he tolerated me around because of the mate bond and he couldn’t out rightly disobey the moon goddess.

I feel like every affection I have been shown was false. I bared my heart out to him for crying out loud.

I couldn’t take it anymore. I felt like my heart is being cut into pieces over and over again.

It was stupid to have kept clinging to the hope of having a mate love me like my father did my mum.

I may be act tough but that doesn’t change the fact that I also wanted a mate.

Someone to love me for me. Someone who makes me happy just as much as I will thrive to make him.

I was prepared to take on anything from an arrogant and demanding mate to an annoying egotistic mate because he was my mate after all but not this.

Blatant disrespect and cheating right under my nose. A mockery of my status as Luna.

I could literally see white fury boiling up inside of me and my wolf but we both knew we couldn't let lose because any careless decision could lead to innocent people getting hurt and I didn't want that. Besides my mate was my business and I will deal with it my way.

Taking a couple of deep breaths, I tried to get my rage under control. My wolf had shut off our bond and I knew she was also immensely hurt.

I was still getting myself under control when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turn to find Matthews staring at me warily.

"Are you alright Luna" He asks softly

"Did you know too?" I respond in a stony voice

"Know what?" Matthews said with a confused look on his face

"Peek into the room and tell me"

I watch as Matthews sneaked a glance into the room and quickly redrew back with his mouth and eyes wide open but one proper glance at the guilty look on his face told me he also knew.

I guess that is why he tried to mess with me when I first got here.

Shaking my head, I blew air out of my mouth and said to him,

"Don't tell them I saw. I will deal with it my own way. Swear to me"

With a shaky breath, he said softly, "I swear"

"Good. Now take the lead. I will follow soon. Let them know I will be down in a minute"

I watch as Matthews calmed himself before walking into the dining hall. I listened as he exchanged pleasantries before telling them that I was on my way down.

It was amusing to hear them fret and possibly try to put on a convincing facade for me.

With a quick prayer to the moon goddess and fate for strength, I squared my shoulders and walked into the room with my head held up high and my blank mask fixed tightly in place.

This people messed with the wrong bitch. I will show them why I am called chaos.

The sight that met me nearly made me laugh but I held it back. If they thought I was stupid then they had another thing coming.

Once again, I have been mocked and underestimated by the person I least expected. No wonder trust is rare these days.

They give you a present with their right hand and poison you with the left one.

My mate was going through some files. His mother was busily setting the table.

Matthews looked like he was playing a game on his phone and the lady in question Tricia, was standing in the doorway to the kitchen with her back facing them. Well I guess she isn't that bold after all.

I was going to sit down but I backtracked and walked directly past Tricia and into the kitchen where I found some of the older women in the pack still making breakfast.

I fetched a plate and fork before approaching them with a small smile on my face. Greeting them softly I asked for my breakfast which they were more than delightful to give me.

They made a quick work of piling up my plate with hash browns, bacons, an omelet and pancakes with a glass of orange juice.

I settled on a stool beside the kitchen island and went on ahead to dig into my food.

I noticed the frown on Felecia's face when she realized I was eating alone in the kitchen but I chose to ignore her.

I felt her move in my direction and before long, she was standing on the other end of the island which a smile on her face. It made me sick.

I nod at her but didn't return her smile. Her smile dropped when she realized this. Clearing her throat forcibly, she inquired;

"Honey, why are you eating here alone?"

"I’m going somewhere. Please call Matthews for me when you go back to the hall. Thanks" I reply dismissively in a cold tone.

I went back to eating without paying her any attention and let out a sigh of relief when I felt her leave.

Matthews came into the question with a confused frown on his face.

"Luna, you asked for me" he said with a respectful bow

"Yes, I did. Take a seat and get some food to eat. We leave right afterwards. I want you to take me somewhere"

"Re... Really... o... Kay" Matthews rushed out in surprise before doing as I instructed.

We finished off our breakfast in record time and stood up to head out but before we could exit the kitchen, Alpha River walked in with a scowl on his face.

“Where are you two going?” He asked in a menacing tone

Before Matthews could answer, I shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly and said;

“I am going out to town and I want Matthews to take me. But when I come back, we are going to have a talk. There is something important that I would like to discuss with you”

“Why didn’t you ask me to take you?”

“You were quite busy when I walked in and I didn’t want to disturb you. After all, pack duties and members are our top priorities, right?”

I smiled inwardly when he and his mother tensed up. I’m glad they caught the double meaning of my statement.

They are so going to pay. Alpha River was silent so his mum answered in a small voice;

“Yes, they are”

“Good. I’m running late so we will talk when I come back… Let’s go Matthews” I said coldly as I made my way outside with Matthews trailing behind me.

We drove around town for an hour or two. Stopping at particular shops to purchase and place orders for toiletries, bedspreads, duvets, cooking utensils, TV sets, and any other thing I will need to furnish a home.

Matthews had this curious look all the time.

Probably wondering why, I was purchasing all this stuff and what crazy stunt I wanted to pull but I ignored him. He will find out in due time.

After I was satisfied with my purchase, I asked him to drive me to my mother’s pack.

I stifled a laugh as his eyes widened like saucers and saw how fidgety he suddenly became. I waited for a few minutes before deciding to put him out of his misery.

Clearing my throat softly, I said to him;

“Calm your tits will you… I am not returning to my mother’s pack. I’m not that kind of woman and besides I can’t run from my responsibilities as Luna just because your stupid alpha has no morals. I’m going to do what I do best. Confront him, teach him a lesson and move on with my life.”

“But… what are you planning on doing?” Matthews asked worriedly

“Oh, nothing drastic… just wait and find out ok”

“Okay” he replied dejectedly
