Chapter 5

“What?” I muttered, sure that I didn’t hear him say the words right.

“I want you back, Elena, I will everything to make it right,” he quavered.

My lips parted and pressed themselves together in shock.

He wants me back after rejecting me?

“Elena please, leave the Alpha and come back to me. We’ll run away, we’ll go far away from here, we’ll create a pack, a pack stronger than the Dark Moon pack.”

“No one will be able to stop us, not even Xander,” he spilled despicable words and advanced to hold my cold hands.

“Get out!” I snapped and slapped his hands away.

I can’t believe what he is saying, how can he want me back after everything he had done to me?

Did someone make him do this? Could this be jealousy?

“Elena…”

“What do you take me for?” I cut him off. “A fool?” He shook his head vigorously, his grey eyes dilating in culpability.

“I love you, Elena, I never realized it until the Alpha took you away,” he stated.

He is right, the Alpha has taken me away from him. He doesn’t have a place in my life again. Oregon whimpered slightly, begging me to accept him back, but I was not ready to give in to her persuasion.

“I will not accept you back, Nathan, I belong to the Alpha. Our bond has been severed forever!” Oregon’s whimpering surged into cries but that didn’t move me one bit.

“Elena…”

“Leave!” I pointed my finger toward the door. “Or else I will have Xander take your head.”

He knew best not to press further so he turned and trotted away. I sighed, slammed shut the door, and turned around slowly. The gamma girl was staring wide-eyed at me.

“I think I’m ready to have my bath,” I muttered.

She jolted out of her trance and nodded her head.

“Come with me, my lady,” she beckoned and led me into the washroom. I made to pull off my dress but remembering that the girl was there I stopped.

She didn’t seem to give up sticking by me at any moment. After much-failed persuasion, I pulled off my dress and slipped into the bubble-filled tub. I felt a sting of embarrassment when I remembered the slash on my back.

“Uhmm…” I realized that I didn’t know her name.

“My name is Glacia, my lady.”

I wonder why she keeps calling me that.

“Call me Elena,” I said, getting irritated with the constant ‘my lady’.

She shook her head fervently, I could see fear building up in her eyes.

“No, the Alpha will have my head.”

The Alpha, an Alpha who doesn’t care about me? Why will he bother if I am being respected as the Luna, he only got me out of pity.

I inhaled deeply and dipped my back into the soapy water, the water sipped into the wound, stinging it. I closed my eyes and grimaced, letting the water flow through my body. I wish it could wash off the troubles and perils of my life, I wish it could wash away my life too.

A rasping knock sounded on the door and I groaned, forcing my heavy lids to snap open. Glacia made to go for it but I stopped her.

What does he want again? I’m trying so hard to cope with my recent problem and Nathan being the devil he is, is trying to mess up my life more.

The knock came again, louder than the first, Glacia glanced at the door worriedly, pleading with her eyes to let her open it.

“No, Glacia!” I replied sharply and she sighed, glancing at the door again.

“I don’t think it’s the Beta, it might be the Queen Luna,” Glacia suggested when the knock persisted.

My chest compressed at the mention of the  Queen Luna, nervousness broke out sweat on my wet body as my heart thumped loudly.

Glacia understood my silence and left the washroom. I staggered out of the bathtub and slipped on a white fluffy bathrobe. The door swung open and Glacia’s smiling face popped in. “It’s the Queen Luna.”

I breathed in and out countlessly before stepping into the warm bedroom. I never realized it was warm.

I nervously dug my itching toes into the ground as I stared at the Luna. No doubt this was where the Alpha got his intimidating beauty from.

The Luna had a somewhat superior aura. The velvet blue gown she wore flowed lazily behind her, she had mesmerizing clear blue eyes which was a contrast to the Alpha’s dark blue eyes that sometimes glowed dangerously dark when he was upset. The Luna had a lovely body structure and her kinky brown hair cascaded down her shoulders.

She gracefully walked closer to me and held my chin. My breathing seized and my heartbeat increased in tempo. What this woman was doing to me I do not know, but one thing was clear she made me feel the way Alpha Xander always makes me feel whenever I was around him.

“Luna.” I attempted to bow but she stopped me.

Her smooth hands curled around my limp arm.

“You are just as Xander has told me,” she whispered.

I furrowed my brows in confusion.

Did the Alpha tell his mother anything about me? My eyes widened slowly as I imagined him telling her that Nathan was my mate.

“The… the alpha talked about me?” The smile smeared across her face didn’t disappear as I foolishly stuttered.

“Hmmm.” She shook her head.

“He said so much about you,” she responded. “And, it turned out to be true.” She slowly glanced at my full height, admiration danced around her iris. A pool of crimson color drowned my face.

“Thank you, Luna,” I slightly bowed.

If the Alpha told his mother good things about me then why is he being so cold?

I shrugged absentmindedly, perhaps, Nathan got him upset.

“Do you doubt it?” Luna’s enchanting voice propelled me back to the tense conversation. She noticed the shrug.

“I never imagined the Alpha praising me.”

“Why, because you’re an Omega?” her innocent question stung me as I stared at the ground, hiding my somber face.

“Perhaps,” I replied in a whisper audible enough to her hearing.

“Wha-what did he say about me?” I stuttered. I can’t believe I spoke to Queen Luna without being asked to.

She raised her brows and smiled.

“Everything.” My heart leaped.

“Everything?” I muttered. She doesn’t look like someone who knows a thing about my pathetic life.

“Your beauty, your nativity, your charisma, and the way he got attracted to you the first time his eyes met yours.” My jaws dropped.

“Did- did he tell you that?” I’m pretty sure a cat has got my tongue. I can’t even fix the right words where they belong.

“Don’t worry about the girls, they’ve been taken care of,” she waved her fingers, smiling at my shocked expression.

Glacia and her servant giggled quietly as they watched my animalistic behavior.

“Oh, I forgot to mention something,” she slapped her forehead and leaned closer to me, her hot breath fanned my tingling ears.

“He also told me how much he loves you.”
