Chapter 6: The shock

CHAPTER SIX

MIRA

My heart sank when Jeremy offered that I become his Luna. I was wolfless, so the mate stuff was not real.

"I... I can't," I told him plainly. "I already have..." 

I paused. I didn't want to reveal too much to them yet. The only reason I came here was to wipe the entire pack. I had no business whatsoever with being anyone mate or whatever. 

"Jeremy. I can not accept the mate bond. I am wolfless, and I feel nothing." 

Jeremy smirked as he got even closer. I could hear my heart pounding more terribly this time. I tried to control the pace I was breathing since it was giving out too much, but I could not. I was out of control of that. 

"You and I know very well that you're trying to lie to me. But it wouldn't work. You can lie to me but not yourself. Yes, you lost your wolf, but then..." 

"Jeremy!" I cut in sharply before he would finish what he had to say. 

He leaned away from me and sighed deeply. I also exhaled deeply, thinking that he was finally letting me go. He faced the door and rolled his tongue in his mouth. I prayed for him to just walk away and let me be. I was already weak. 

For some reason, I felt so weak when he stopped in front of me. I didn't know why it felt that way. 

He turned to me once again. 

"You want me to keep your secret, and I want you to be my Luna. We are both even, Mira. Think about it." 

I remained calm while battling with the threat and my emotions. 

"Well, do you have any proof?" I asked. 

Jeremy scoffed.  

"Don't be ridiculous, Emma. "

I swallowed hard. 

"I had always loved you, but I couldn't bring myself to say it. I was so scared because you weren't my mate then. I felt something from you even the first day I saw you... it broke me to hear that you slept with my brother." 

I waited for Jeremy to say the next words, but he said nothing else. He only turned around, about to leave when I suddenly called him back. 

He stopped, and turned around to face me. 

"I agree to be your Luna," I told him. 

He smiled deeply and breathed in satisfactorily. He turned to face me again and only took two steps forward before stopping at the spot again.

Jeremy soon walked towards me and pinned me to the wall. He locked his lips against mine, and we both began to kiss passionately while touching each other all over. 

I was breathing heavily into his mouth as I ran my hands freely all over his body. He stuck his tongue into my mouth, and I was forced to suck on his tongue for the next seconds. It was my turn to stick my tongue into his mouth. I rolled my tongue in circles in Jeremy's mouth. 

"Are you okay?" Jeremy's voice brought me back to reality. 

I gasped and at the same time, I shuddered.  

I didn't know if there was any demonstration while I was daydreaming, or if I mentioned his name or anything that would make him know what I was thinking about. 

I looked away quickly and pinned my eyes to the floor. I was deeply embarrassed to look into his eyes. 

I could not believe that it wasn't real. It felt so real. His lips, his tongue, the touch. Everything felt so real. 

"You really don't look okay, Mira." 

Jeremy shook his head and walked away. 

I sighed deeply after Jeremy left. He was such a pain in the ass. I didn't think I needed any more fresh air. I already had enough. I decided to return to my room. 

On my way, I saw Lesley standing at a corner of the pack house. There was a woman standing in front of him. She wore a skiny dress that revealed sensitive parts of her body. 

Lesley's hands lay on her shoulder. His lips moved freely. I wondered why he was speaking so calmly to this lady. I stopped by the corner and watched him talking to her. I didn't know why I was interested in knowing who she was and why he was talking to her so calmly. 

Lesley was supposed to be the ruthless Alpha. 

I wondered if he had a second chance mate already. Was she His Luna? 

Or maybe she was one of the hoes he was yet to sleep with. Or another bet. Lesley wasn't a nice person. Especially when it came to women. 

He slowly pulled his hands away from her shoulder and dipped it into his pocket. I saw him bring out a huge amount of money and handed it over to her. I watched her eyes go wide in shock, and a broad smile appeared on her face. Lesley patted her back. 

It was not that I noticed the multiple rings on her ear and nose. Her fingers too were filled with rings. I wondered who she was and why I was so interested in her. 

Lesley pulled out his phone from his pocket and placed it beside his ear. His once smiling face slowly turned into a frowning face. The woman, too, began to frown. She was now staring at Lesley desperately.  

I felt like I was connected to whatever was going on there. My phone beeped again, and I unlocked it quickly. There was a text from Jeremy saying I should get prepared since he would be introducing me as his mate and Luna the next morning. 

My hands suddenly began to shake as I read through the text over and over again. Why was I getting paranoid? 

I hoped that I wasn't forgetting my mission already. I hoped that I would be able to take my revenge in a week so that I would be able to return to my house. I didn't want to get carried away by anything else. 

My daughter's school would resume any time soon, and I didn't want her to be away from school. 

I soon felt someone's eyes on me. It was as if the person was reading through me. 

I slowly lifted my head to look at him again. Lesley's eyes were resting on me. It almost felt as if he could read through me. 

I blinked thrice and turned around quickly. I began to walk towards my room as quickly as I could. I finally got to my door and grabbed my door handle when I heard Lesley's thick and almost accusing voice. 

"Mira."
