Chapter 13

Charlotte's point of view

My maid, Eloise, led me away from the scene and I walked with my head facing the ground.

My Wolf winced inside of me. She hated Nicholas for this.

“I've told you to reject this idiot and move on, you'd never listen. Your mate bond with him is fading. We are getting weaker. Can't you see?” She howled inside of me. 

“If I catch that idiot, I swear I’d skin him alive. Look what he's turned you into. A laughing stock.”

I could understand her pain. It was not easy to just pull away from someone you loved.

Something inside of me told me that one day, Clara would pack up and leave. 

My staff, they all stared at me. They all witnessed the embarrassment I faced this morning. 

I was too ashamed to look at their faces.

Nicholas threatened to slap me. My mate threatened to lock me up in a room because of a lady. A mutt named Clara. 

It was a very big slap to my face.

I saw her. Zoey.

She paused the work she was given to stare at me.

Gosh!! My heart began to beat fast.

That face…this was not the time. 

When I walked past the corridor Zoey was standing in, I felt a hand brushing mine.

“Luna!” Zoey yelled out my name as she held me by the arm and I froze.

Was this some kind of freak show? Did she not know that we were not supposed to communicate in public?

What is wrong with her?

I stopped and turned around to stare at her.

“No! Don't touch the Luna, dirty rogue!” Eloise raised her voice at Zoey and quickly pushed Zoey's hands away from mine.

Zoey's face paled and her eyes looked so dull. 

Poor Zoey. 

I'm not going to lie. I felt bad.

She called the lady that gave me my first mind-blowing orgasm a rogue.

“But that's what she is…” My wolf, Cece said, her voice lower than a whisper.

Oh no Cece, don't speak like that. “She’s a rogue. A smelly one at that. I don't know why you would mix yourself with dirt,” my wolf continued to berate Zoey.

But I felt sorry for Zoey that she was going to see a different side of me. I did not want my subjects to think I was weak.

I was going to deny Zoey and be a little harsh to her.

Zoey's arms were still on me. Despite the fact that my maid had asked her to keep her hands off me, she disobeyed.

I was not in a good mood and I was ready to transfer all the anger and aggression I had gotten from Nicholas on Zoey.

“What is it?” I asked Zoey in a harsh voice. “You heard my girl. Keep your hands off me. Don't touch me!”

Zoey stared at me like she could not believe her ears.

I know I surprised her.

My maid then yanked Zoey's hands off me. She was astonished so she had loosened her grip on me.

“You wanted to talk. Speak. I'm listening to you.” I refused to stare at her. I was looking at my shoes.

“Luna. I'm sorry for touching you. I was just carried away.” Zoey apologized. My maid was furious.

“Luna. Had the rogue taken a bath? I think we should shift further away from her. I don't want her stench to infect you.” Eloise did not like her at all.

Eloise pulled my hands gently and I now stood at a further radius away from Zoey. 

Why was I even hiding my face from Zoey? This was the best way to get her to stay away from me.

If I yelled at her and constantly disgraced her, she would eventually learn that royalty and bottom barrell do not mix. “Have you suddenly lost your tongue, I thought you wanted to speak to me?” I asked Zoey again and he couldn't say a word.

“Why are you quiet as a mouse? Why did you waste my Luna's time? Can't you see she is not in a good mood? Be warned, Rogue!” Eloise continued to taunt Zoey.

As much as I wanted to avoid catching feelings for or sleeping with Zoey, I did not want anyone to disrespect her.

I could see Zoey's cheeks. They were warm with embarrassment. I never really took my time to describe Zoey.

She was quite a beautiful girl. Today, she had showered properly and her hair was in a messy bun.

She was sweating, and the sweat lined around her hairline. Her baby hairs fell to her face and she looked majestic.

Zoey was not tall. She was a five foot five girl and I was five foot eight. 

She had green eyes that were lined with a black limbal ring.

She looked like the people from the mountains. 

I was from the mountains and only girls that came from my village looked stunningly beautiful.

At best, I’d give Zoey an eight when it comes to beauty.

She was prettier than Clara, but not prettier than me. 

I gave her a long and hard stare. 

I could understand how she felt. This was exactly how I felt when I saw Nicholas hugged up with Clara.

I saw that most of the wounds she had from the days he came were exposed. 

Dang! How come I did not see this earlier. She could risk having an infection or something.

I realized that I used her for my own selfish gain and I never really took my time to inspect her or ask questions concerning her health and well-being.

“Your wounds…I'm sorry about that. My maid will show you to the pack's clinic. You can tell them it was I that sent you.”

“Eloise, come on,” I held my maid's hands and we left Zoey standing there with her mouth agape.

Zoey's point of View

When Charlotte was walking up to where I worked, I was so happy.

I thought I could wave at her. I thought that her setting her eyes on me would actually lift her spirit.

If I were an Alpha wolf, I would have turned into a wolf and I would've killed Nicholas for the rubbish he just did to her.

Then I'd tear Clara's belly apart and watch her and her stupid bastard baby bleed to death.

“Keep living in la la land, okay?” Rizz poked me.

Shit!! I totally forgot that she could read my mind.

“You're not Robin fucking Hood. Stop being delulu. So you'll kill him and run out the pack then what?” Rizz continued to give it to me back to back.

Rizz was really on my ass since she came back. It was annoying but I somehow loved it. 

I was such a stupid delusional bitch. Why did I always forget that me liking someone does not mean they like me back?

And someone agreeing to engage in sexual intercourse with me did not also mean that they liked me too.

I was stupid. 

I had fallen for Charlotte right from the first day I set my eyes on her.

When I looked at her face, it seemed the sun chose to shine on only her that day, the day I ran naked into her pack.

And when she chose to show me mercy, it was over. I knew she was the one! My heart began to beat for her!

This morning, she showed me who she truly was. I was quite surprised when she said all those harsh words to me. My wolf put me in check.

I was just a stranger here, a nothing! Something to be used and tossed to the side. 

I knew it! I'm a delusional foolish girl. How foolish am I to think that Luna Charlotte would love me and agree to be seen with me in public?

From what I noticed, it seemed Charlotte was only friendly with her personal handmaid, Eloise.

So what would make me believe that she would stoop so low for me, a whole rogue. 

I tried to look at her face to search for answers or the least bit of feeling for me but it was not there. Her face was very hard.

When she was done, Charlotte walked away and took many pieces of my heart with her.
