Dean sat down. "You have to go now, she will be waiting for you. You have to pick a perfect outfit for the engagement."
At the mention of Adrian going to find her, she hurried away from the door and stood five miles away from it. After a few minutes, Adrian stepped out of the door and his gaze shifted to her. Luna peered at him, he had tried to stand up for her and at least show some support. She wondered if he was out doing it because he needed a Luna by his side."Luna, you came?" He asked as he approached her.She shifted uncomfortably at his intense gaze. However she managed to maintain a straight face as he got to her. Before she could respond, he pulled her by the hand and pulled her towards the other side of the packhouse. Luna surveyed the environment as he pulled her. She recognized the place, it was the direction to his room.Phoebe had taken her there but they only stared at the door and left. She claimed her brother never let anyone inside his room with him. Soon he was opened the door and got inside the room with her."I thought you never let anyone inside your room." She turned her head to look at him."Did Phoebe tell you that?" Adrian inquired."Yes, she brought me here the other day and we only stared at the door before leaving." She answered."Well I am showing you my room since you will be so curious." He pushed the door of his room open. "What do you think my room look like?""All black and white, wolves head hanging around." She raised a brow at him. "A picture of a creepy wolf."Adrian glanced at her with a surprise look on his face. "None of the above, I can't believe you thought that was what my room looked like.""You hid it from everyone, it should be like that judging from the one I saw on months back." She clarified."Since you spoke about the creepy wolf picture you saw. It was made by our fore fathers and it refused to be removed. I don't like it to and if you don't, I am going to remove it."Um, okay."He turned on the light of his bedroom and Luna's eyes surveyed the room. It wasn't all black and white like she had thought. It was all red and gray, she didn't get the guess right. There was a painting on his wall and she walked closer to it to get better look.She placed her hand on the picture and glanced at it, her eyes widened when she saw it was a picture of her. She had cat eyes and there was a tail sticking out. Her mouth were open and she saw fangs in her teeth. Yeah fangs, she had almost forgotten she had one. If not for the fact that she had been a vegetarian, she could have drank from all those wicked mice that made her miserable in the dungeon."This is me?" She questioned, even though the picture looked exactly like her. Although she had no cat ears and tail.She spun around to look at Adrian, he was right behind her. He stroked her hair with a smile on his face."You little Mooncat, you remind me of a cat."Luna rolled her eyes, this was the second time someone had mentioned that she was a cat. First was Ashford and now Adrian, did she really look like a cat?"Mooncat? Is that a new nickname for me?"He shrugged. "Yes."She moved away from him before she could fall for his smile. He was only using her, they were only using her for the benefits that they would get from her. She was not going to let herself fall for their tricks, since they were using her. She had to use them to and she just needed to get engaged to Adrian."Let's get going to pick a dress for the engagement." She grabbed his head. "I am starving, Phoebe didn't let me have anything before bringing me here.""The thing about Phoebe." Adrian said. "My mother…" He trailed off not wanting to tell Luna about it because it might hurt her."It was true, right?" Luna asked. "She was asked to stay away from me."Adrian nodded his head just like Luna had guessed. "My mother asked her to stay away from you."Luna teeth clenched. 'That ungrateful…" she stopped herself before she could say more.She had a way to get the queen angry, she was going to get closer to Phoebe herself and Adrian at the same time. She had not really spoken to Adrian's Mother and perhaps she was going to pay a visit to the woman."Let's go." She told Adrian.She had mentioned that she was hungry but the only thing he picked was Phoebe. She frowned, what an ideal mate she had. Atleast she had one that took care of her and she liked him better."Ashford wanted to have dinner with me tonight, we have to get the engagement things as fast as we can." She lied.At the mention of Ashford, Adrian's hand clenched. "I thought he said he was leaving after this is all over, why is he still here and about their pack. We still didn't see anyone there."Luna lips curled into a grin, Adrian still thought Ashford was a Werewolf. The alpha of the Venomiya's pack. Venomiya pack was a pack that the members couldn't be since and they don't interact with other people."He came back after I was released from the dungeon." She replied. "He wanted to see how I was doing.""Have he been there with you since you were released?"Luna shook her head in negativity."Mooncat, you should say away from your ex. You are getting engaged to me." Adrian ordered.Luna's grin widened, since she had lied to Adrian that Ashford was her ex lover and the mate bond ruined their relationship. Adrian had always thought Ashford was here to get her back. He was her mate too, she couldn't stay away from him and besides she met Ashford first."I can't stay away from him, since your Mother said Phoebe should stay away from me. Ashford is the only friend I have and…""Fine." Adrian grumbled. "I'm curious, did Ashford know about you being a Hybrid when you met?""He knew and he was okay with it unlike you." With that she turned around and left the room, wondering why he brought her into his room in the first place. Perhaps he wanted to show her the painting and make her get comfortable with him."Mooncat, wait up." He called as he slammed the door shut. "Have you moved around Lunar Crest? Do you know where the market is?"He didn't need to rub it in her face, ever since she had been born. She had never moved around the pack, she does not know the direction to anywhere in the pack that she had lived all her life. She took in a deep breath and halted."Lead the way then." She muttered. "I don't know anywhere and you don't have to rub it in my face."Adrian fell into step with her and glanced at her, she had a frown on her face."I can show you around the pack." He offered."No thanks." She glanced at him. "I am not new to the pack and it would be embarrassing for you to show me around."He raised a brow. "Don't worry, I will show you around as
Adrian glanced at her. "Right." He gaze shifted to Emmett. "We will catch up later."Emmett nodded and waited for them to get on Maddox. Luna tensed up as she glanced at Emmett waving at them with that same smirk on his face. They were different person, she tried to convince herself but it didn't work. Adrian was sitting behind her and she could feel the heat of the his body. He was clutching to the rope connected to the derewolf and it was in front of her.He turned Maddox around and headed towards the direction of the market. Luna could no longer see Emmett but she was sure that he gaze was still on them. For some reason, she felt better since Adrian's body was covering hers and Emmett couldn't see her."Are you alright?" Adrian asked."I am fine." She replied almost immediately."You look tense.""It's nothing." There was silence and she spoke again. "I am fine."She wished Ashford was here, she was going to tell him and find comfort in his hug. Adrian placed his head on her shoulde
"Well, let's pick an outfit. Show us one to pick." Adrian's voice was hard and Luna wondered what was up with the behavior.Had that one month changed his behavior? She peered at him curiously. Ashford seemed to be different too but her father was the same. Phoebe was different but still the talkative she was.'I haven't seen her before.' Someone whispered as they followed the middle aged woman.Luna met the girl's gaze and the girl glared at her. Luna stared at the outfit the girl was wearing, the girl was standing next to another girl and they had a glare on their face.'Isn't she the lady that brought a threat to the pack?' the other asked.'What is she doing with the Alpha?' The first one frowned harder.Luna was expecting it, she knew they were going to say that at her back. Although she hadn't expected it to be as fast as this. Adrian was paying no attention to what the ladies were saying. Luna knew he could hear it and he decided to say nothing about it.She wasn't going to let
"You attacked her first, you knew we were mated and yet you slapped her. How dare you hit Luna?""What?" Alexa's face went blank. "You were in need of help and I decided to help.""So I am that pitiful?" Adrian demanded, taking a deep sigh he turned around. "Go home Alexa and let this be the last time you lay a finger on her."He didn't want to stress the matter further and Luna wasn't in the mood to drag words with Alexa. She had simply let her off with three slaps and a humiliation.Luna glanced back at Alexa and smirked. This was only the beginning of her making sure Adrian never made Alexa the Luna. Even though she wouldn't end up with Adrian in the future. She was going to make sure Alexa never ends up together with him. It was kind of selfish of her but she cared less.'You just wait.' Alexa said to herself as she stood to her feet and headed out of the store. She was radiating in anger and realized that they were here to pick up their engagement outfit. That should be her in th
He closed an eye and did the love shape with his right hand fingers. "Yes it is me."She threw herself at him and pulled him into a tight hug. He hugged her back and her anger melted like ice. She rubbed her head against his chest and inhaled his scent. He scented perfectly and she had missed his scent and him too.''Why didn't you visit for two days?" She demanded as she raised her head to look at him. Her head was still on his chest as she stared at him. He was looking at her too as she waited for an explanation."I had a lot to deal with, taking care of the throne is really hard now but I have enough time to take care of you today." He leaned in to kiss her nose and she closed her eyes waiting but he pulled back. "If you keep on holding me like this, I am sure that they are going to suspect our relationship and you won't be able to gain power by using Adrian."Luna's eyes opened, she knew that everyone thought that Ashford was her ex and best friend. She hesitated as she clutched
Ashford turned her around to stare at the sales lady. "We are taking both." He leaned in to whisper in Luna's ear. "Do you want another?"She shook her head. "I like these two better."Ashford pulled out a gold coin and set it down for the lady. "Here is the payment."The woman stared at him with astonishment in her eyes. "The gold can buy everything in my store, I don't have the change for it."Ashford scoffed. "Then you can have it, I have no silver with me."Luna had no idea what was used for payment, it was the first time she was out and buying something from the market. She remembered she had always told her father what he should get for her and he would get it. Now she had the chance to buy whatever she wanted."Come on, let's go." Ashford took her hand and began walking.They walked out of the market and Luna watched Ashford's back as he pulled her. It was then she noticed his dressing, he was dressed differently from them. Weren't people going to get suspicious since he was dr
She was the lady he liked, his mate and the future queen of the vampire kingdom. No one was going to take her away from him. A picture appeared in his head, a picture of Adrian holding onto Luna and asking her to be the Luna of the pack. He pushed the pic away from us head, Luna was only getting engaged to Adrian and an engagement could be broken.'An engagement could be broken.' Does that apply to him too?"You don't have to tell them if you are not comfortable with it but if you want. I will make the announcement. No one can hurt you."It would be better if she said nothing about her identity and let them keep guessing about it."Do you think so? And I haven't met your mother. When are you going to take me to her?" Luna inquired.Ashford forced a smile, "Very soon, we will get engaged soon."Luna stared at him blankly, what does he mean that they were getting engaged? She glanced at his hand on hers to see that he was holding her ring finger."What do you mean?" She was not feelin
She stared at him. “By picturing it in my head.”He took her right hand in his and placed it over the potato. He was right behind her. “When picturing the potatoes peeling, you have to make sure they peel in rhythm. Like this…” The potato that was holding peeled in her hand and her eyes widened in surprise. She raised the potato to her eyes anss stared at it. “It's so smooth.” “I know right.” Picking up another potato, he handed it to her. “Focus on peeling it in a rhythm and not just peeling it.”“Like this?” She stared at him.His gaze was focused on the potato and then it cut off into seven pieces. It's peel removing and the potato landed in the sink.“That's not I meant though.”She took another potato and tried again. It was still the same, she kept on trying and trying and Ashford knew he had to stop her. However before he could, she tried again and the potatoes were all peeled now. In the proper way of peeling them.“Yah! I did it.” She squealed in excitement as she turned
