Chapter 13

DAVINA'S POV

“Okay, Can I trust you?” she asked and I didn't hesitate before nodding.

“My nanny used to bully me.”

“What?!” I was perplexed for seconds.

“She used to beat me, forcefully push me down the stairs, she made me scared of the dark… it's scary.” She explained amidst tears in her eyes. I stared at her as she let down her tears. I opened my arms for her and she crawled into my arms. My heart shattered at how those moments would have been for her, at a young age and she's getting traumatized already. I was maltreated by my stepmother and my stepbrother, all thanks to Lexie who saved me at that moment I was about to get raped.

I looked around the garden, and at that moment I realized how beautiful it was. A part of me feels I should tell and rant out in front of Tristan, and I don't know how to go about it.

“Lexie, Lexie, Lexie!” I called and I got no response. Gosh, where is she? I need her on this, I can't do this alone.

“Get closer to her Davina, build a bond with her, with that, we can heal our mate.”

“Can you tell Daddy to change my nanny?” She requested trying to sit up. How can I ask him such when he doesn't regard me as his true Luna, this is a too-hard task to do.

“How about we do it this way? If we can somehow expose your nanny to the Alpha— you want him to see for himself.” She cut in and nodded and she chuckled.

“He's always busy, he doesn't love me like he claimed!” She sounded hurt, I shook my head sideways.

“He loves you, I guess he doesn't know how to show his affection, Tammy. He does and he will do anything to protect his own talk more of his daughter—Are you daddy's own?”

“What such of interrogation is this?” I thought, staring at her green eyes, I don't know why I just love starting at those big eyes.

“For his personal feelings am not his own, I'm only his just for the pack and for the title.

“How do you want to make daddy know my nanny doesn't treat me right.”

“You just need to keep it flowing with her, for my plan to work —

“You came up with one already?”

“No, I will think of one and we will carry it out, what do you think?” I asked, stretching forth my hand and she winked at me.

“So. She emphasized the word as she looked at me and smiled, how should I address you?”

“My name is Davina—

“I will go with Luna, Luna Vina. Can I call you that?”

“Yes! Sure!” That was a quick response.

“Tell me where—

“Luna Davina!” I heard Juanita's voice and I turned around quickly.

“What happened?” I asked as Cassy and Benedict followed.

“I checked up on you at the pack kitchen and you weren't there, so we had to search—

“You search? Is there something going on?” I asked worriedly.

“No, I was worried maybe you might have lost your way back.” She confessed taking five steps back.

“Really! Am I being watched right now?”

“No, Beta Javier said we should better care of you. And Luna, Tammy shouldn't be outside—

“Why???” I cut in.

“That was the Alpha instruction the last time you went outside the pack house with guards.”

“Wow! He instructed such, and he thinks he's doing the best by caging her indoors! In the hands of a bully!!—

“A bully?!” The three exclaimed while I rolled my eyes. I stood up on my feet, ignoring their perplexed face.

“Should we play hide and seek—

“Luna we need to inform the Alpha instead of ignoring this,” Juanita interrupted as she took a step closer.

“I didn't utter a word doesn't mean, I'm ignoring it. If we decided to tell the alpha without solid proof or evidence that shows her nanny is bullying her—

“Her nanny!” Cassy yelled and I nodded.

“Oh, moon goddess! THAT WILL HAVE BEEN TRAUMATIZING.” Benedict mumbled as tears welled up in her eyes.

“So I told her to keep the flow going till I manage to get a prove and expose her nanny. I paused. Moreover, I don't know her nanny and I would love to know what she looks like. “

“I will help with that,” Benedict added and we all gave ourselves a last look before returning our gaze to Tammy.

“So are you in for the Hide and Seek?” I asked and she nodded. She made a count down from ten and she disappeared while I shut my eyes tight when she did the countdown.

I'm not familiar with the garden so it nearly took me almost two minutes to get her hidden spot and she screamed so loud when I found her hidden spot. She dresses in a black crop top with white bum shorts matching it with her white sandals, and two mini ponytails with a white ribbon on them.

She laughed so loud, her contagious laughter got me laughing and I couldn't control myself as we both kept our laughter loudly.

The familiar redolence welcomes my nose and I shook away the thought of him being here, in the garden of all places. But then again, it came and it got closer, and closer and closer. My heart sank the moment I recognized who held such a redolent, fear radiant down my spine. Fuck! I'm with his daughter and he gave me a stern warning not to move closer to her. I don't want him to get angry at me, in front of my maids and his daughter.

“Oh, moon goddess. What should do? I was scared to turn around and Tammy had gone for another hide.

“Juanita!” I called to be sure if they were still with me and I got no response. My heart was beating so fast, “Lexie!” I screamed in my head and nothing seemed to working.

“I can smell your fear.” His deep cold voice came behind me, right beside my ear. Goosebumps rose on my skin as he came from behind me, wrapping his arms around me.
