Chapter 2

*** BY NOON ***

It was already noon by the time I got to Tricia's house hey girl how are y... I couldn't complete my statement as I was taken aback by what I saw, thought you said... didn't you say you were downcast? I asked confusedly, come on give me a hug Tricia said as she hugged me tightly. No really what's going on? I asked again, "really I just wanted you to come over, I know you would know if I had not pulled off a show she answered with a shrug. Wow thanks to your stunt the breakfast with my husband was ruined and it isn't funny I complained. Just when he changed his ways towards me now he is irritated again for what exactly I have no idea I complained bitterly.

Hey cheer up he is only having a hard time at the office Tricia said,

"Having a hard time" he was never like that he used to tell me everything, but now he acts as though I don't exist, he is not even attracted to me anymore, I said as my eyes became blurry with tears threatening to pour out.

Hey, don't do that it's okay, he would come around I am sure of that Tricia said, as she held me in her embrace he just needs some space for now she continued.

Some space? Why would my husband need some space from me he is my mate and I do not remember doing anything wrong to him, I said now in the midst of tears, and how come you now know so much about him huh? I questioned Tricia but she turned her face away immediately, she began tying imaginary knots with her hand and all of a sudden started sweating. What is it? why do you look so tensed I asked again, almost in a yell, but instead of a verbal reply, Tricia broke down in tears, did I say something wrong, I asked I am really sorry I was acting up, I am frustrated right now I said in a pleading tone.

No...it's not you, the thing is when I  was in Malibu she said and paused to sniff as she was already crying seriously, what happened in Malibu? I asked anxiously well, you remember Murphy? She asked, looking up to face her already a damn worried friend(Me), yes, yes, yes, what about him I said urging her to speak up but it seems Tricia already lost her ability to speak and was only crying the more, which was already getting me pissed off.

Say it already Tricia, why the suspense? I can handle any kind of news I urged. He, he-he-he saw me transform and almost succeeded in selling me out to some sort of scientists, she said still in tears and as I opened my mouth wide in shock and disbelief.

What! Why? How did it happen I said at the top of my voice, I am sorry I am really sorry, and don't mean to push the blame on you I  apologized immediately having realized that I was acting up again. So how did it happen I asked again but in a soft tone this time.

I..I tried to be romantic by seducing him to go to bed with me but, it turned out to be a very bad idea, I ended up transforming in front of him though I tried to prevent it was too late explained. Oh my! And he tried to sell you off? I asked just to be sure I heard her right the first time, see I warned you about that guy, but you would not listen, now look at how you almost blew out our cover.

Yeah I know, Alpha Blake already scolded me for that, and I sprained my ankle

Oh, my poor best friend! Are you okay now of course, anyone would scold you for a thing like that because it is unbelievable, but all the same I know you were just a little desperate to have a boyfriend, I kept talking on and on.

Of course, but I am okay now, I was way back, you're so funny besides Alpha Blake had already helped me with that Tricia said without realising she had spilt something.

Yeah, he is such a kind-hearted man I recommended, yes he is... Wait did you just say Blake helped you with your sprained ankle obviously, I said without a pause, I was so pissed off at the realization of this, gosh I am so stupid and naive you said that two times and it didn't even ring a bell in my head, it did not occur to me at all I said.

How can the both of you do this to me? This is betrayal, I complained and within a twinkle of an eye I grabbed my bag and made my way out of her house, but of course, Tricia would not let me leave without giving an explanation.

Luna! Luna! Luna wait up Tricia called out as she ran after me, just as I was about to enter the car, Tricia held my hand tightly.

Is it such a big deal for Alpha Blake to help me when I need his help she asked

No of course it is not wrong for my husband to help my best friend I said at the top of my voice, then why all this drama? She asked in a soft tone,  all my drama is because I asked you if you met Blake in Malibu what was your response, I asked in anger. Tricia did not respond she just hung her head down, low to the ground because that ground now looked impossibly beautiful to her all of a sudden which caught her attention. Why can't you give me an answer, huh?  With guilt written all over her, I asked again in furry, I felt betrayed, who knows what dirty things you both did there, you are a shameful slot, I said and spat on her in anger.

Luna, why would you... Why would you think of such a thing, I would never do that Tricia said trying to defend herself. Then why hide the fact that you saw each other in Malibu? I asked angrily, I just, we just did not want you to think otherwise, she replied despite the fact that she knew it was not a rational thing to say, she just had to say something, what would give me the impression to think otherwise, we are friends for crying out loud, I would have been happy if I knew you saw each other I said, I mean who wouldn't, at least my friend would be there to take good care of my husband, not just my friend, my best friend, but I was wrong, now that explains why you two act awkward together, that explains why I had that dream, I lamented bitterly.

Luna, Tricia called out my name, Luna nothing happened between the both of us, why are you making a deal out of no deal, Luna don't you trust me, I am your best friend, and I would never do anything to hurt you and you know that Tricia said trying to explain and clear herself off the hook, "we'll see about that" was all I said before leaving the premises.

I was really mad at Tricia, when I got home, immediately I opened the door flung my bag and went straight to the bedroom impatiently waiting for Blake to come back.
