All Chapters of A Scorned Luna's Revenge: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

CASSIUS’ POVI loved Persephone Adelard as much as I hated her. She was everything to me. Without her, I was nothing. She was a constant reminder of the past I wanted to leave behind, a reminder that I was nothing, nobody, yet, I loved her. Sometimes, I felt I would place the world at her feet if she demanded it but most times, I wished she did not exist.“You – Are you really going to take another woman as your mate?” As I stared at the pitiful expression on my true mate’s face, I felt annoyed yet sorry. It was a worse duality than I felt when I stared at Persephone. “I – I prayed hard to the goddess to find you and now – why me? How could this happen to me?” My mate cried.How did she know? How did Persephone know I would find this wretch on the day of our engagement? She was a smart woman but she was also naïve and it was not like she could see the future.Then how did she know?April’s tears moved my wolf, making me uncomfortable. This woman with a wretched green dress was who the

“Sylvia, my engagement ring has gone missing,” I said as Sylvia helped me out of my dress. The hand working the buttons on my back froze and Sylvia rushed to stand in front of me, her mouth wide open. “Mi- Miss! This is a serious issue. Why are you so calm about it?” She screamed in my face. Once again, I was reminded of my past. In my past life, I had been so angry at Cassius for humiliating me on our engagement day that I took the ring he gave me and threw it into a river. Then I panicked and accused April of stealing it. It was the very beginning of my bullying the so-called poor girl. This time around, I was not angry at Cassius, I was rather curious. I kept the ring amongst my jewellery and had seen it while I prepared to go out earlier in the day but now the ring was missing. Right after April came in to clean. I wanted to laugh but it was not funny. “That aside, Sylvia,” I pulled up my hair. “What do you think of my fiancé?” The way her eyes widened and she stiffened made

“An invitation came for you from Alpha Koa.” Cassius held onto the invitation. “What is that about?” “How do you have my letter?” My tone was defensive and I regretted it immediately. My dealings with Alpha Koa, as much as I would like them to be kept private considering our status, were likely to become public sooner rather than later. Still, I was scared of someone, Cassius especially, somehow learning the terms of our deal. If he knew I was trying to take away the footstool that elevated him thus far, I was not very confident that he would stay still. No, he definitely would hold on to me if he got even the slightest hint that I was trying to be rid of him. He would never let go of the benefits only I could bring him. “Perse,” he called my name with a low and sad tone. “Before we are mates or fiancees or any of that, we are best friends.” He stared deep into my eyes as if to see into my soul. “You used to tell me everything so what changed?” Was the nervousness in his tone my i

“You said your name was what again?” I asked the girl whom I had saved from having her hands chopped off when April framed her. “My name is Dora, Luna.’ She bent her head, twiddling her thumbs on her lap. “Dora, how about working for me?” I asked her and she nodded her head without looking up at me. While my reputation had improved since I stood up for her after my engagement ring was found in her bag, my reputation of having a short temper and lashing out for even the smallest reasons still remained. It was something I had to change for my future projects because in this life, I would do a lot of bad things but I would still need the support of the people around me so I had to keep a low profile. For this, I needed people. It was my biggest weakness in my past life. I had no one on my side because I chased everyone away with my abhorrent personality. This time, I had no illusions that I could be liked by everybody. In the past, April acted as my character foil and there were a l

“I – Is that not a bit too much? It is okay to send her away from the pack,” I said. There was no way Cassius would cut April’s hands so I had to play on that and appear at least a little benevolent by suggesting a lesser punishment. “Cassius, what do you think?” I did not forget to push the decision to him. Ultimately, I was after April but I could not publicly go after her. Let her see that the man who brought her in was not shit anyway. Let her see that whatever promises he had made to her would be difficult to carry out and let her begin to doubt his words. “It – is there – we do not have proof.” It was unlike Cassius to sound so unsure so I almost smiled as he stuttered out his words but I held myself, laughing inwardly. I wanted to see how he would deflect this. I needed to know how precious this girl was to him and most of all, I wanted to one-up April. Just because I was no longer interested in her good-for-nothing mate did not mean I would not like to see her crestfallen
