Chapter 5

• “What?” I muttered, sure that I didn’t hear him say the words right.
• “I want you back, Elena, I will everything to make it right,” he quavered.
• My lips parted and pressed themselves together in shock.
• He wants me back after rejecting me?
• “Elena please, leave the Alpha and come back to me. We’ll run away, we’ll go far away from here, we’ll create a pack, a pack stronger than the Dark Moon pack.”
• “No one will be able to stop us, not even Xander,” he spilled despicable words and advanced to hold my cold hands.
• “Get out!” I snapped and slapped his hands away.
• I can’t believe what he is saying, how can he want me back after everything he had done to me?
• Did someone make him do this? Could this be jealousy?
• “Elena…”
• “What do you take me for?” I cut him off. “A fool?” He shook his head vigorously, his grey eyes dilating in culpability.
• “I love you, Elena, I never realized it until the Alpha took you away,” he stated.
• He is right, the Alpha has taken me away from him. He doesn’t have a place in my life again. Oregon whimpered slightly, begging me to accept him back, but I was not ready to give in to her persuasion.
• “I will not accept you back, Nathan, I belong to the Alpha. Our bond has been severed forever!” Oregon’s whimpering surged into cries but that didn’t move me one bit.
• “Elena…”
• “Leave!” I pointed my finger toward the door. “Or else I will have Xander take your head.”
• He knew best not to press further so he turned and trotted away. I sighed, slammed shut the door, and turned around slowly. The gamma girl was staring wide-eyed at me.
• “I think I’m ready to have my bath,” I muttered.
• She jolted out of her trance and nodded her head.
• “Come with me, my lady,” she beckoned and led me into the washroom. I made to pull off my dress but remembering that the girl was there I stopped.
• She didn’t seem to give up sticking by me at any moment. After much-failed persuasion, I pulled off my dress and slipped into the bubble-filled tub. I felt a sting of embarrassment when I remembered the slash on my back.
• “Uhmm…” I realized that I didn’t know her name.
• “My name is Glacia, my lady.”
• I wonder why she keeps calling me that.
• “Call me Elena,” I said, getting irritated with the constant ‘my lady’.
• She shook her head fervently, I could see fear building up in her eyes.
• “No, the Alpha will have my head.”
• The Alpha, an Alpha who doesn’t care about me? Why will he bother if I am being respected as the Luna, he only got me out of pity.
• I inhaled deeply and dipped my back into the soapy water, the water sipped into the wound, stinging it. I closed my eyes and grimaced, letting the water flow through my body. I wish it could wash off the troubles and perils of my life, I wish it could wash away my life too.
• A rasping knock sounded on the door and I groaned, forcing my heavy lids to snap open. Glacia made to go for it but I stopped her.
• What does he want again? I’m trying so hard to cope with my recent problem and Nathan being the devil he is, is trying to mess up my life more.
• The knock came again, louder than the first, Glacia glanced at the door worriedly, pleading with her eyes to let her open it.
• “No, Glacia!” I replied sharply and she sighed, glancing at the door again.
• “I don’t think it’s the Beta, it might be the Queen Luna,” Glacia suggested when the knock persisted.
• My chest compressed at the mention of the Queen Luna, nervousness broke out sweat on my wet body as my heart thumped loudly.
• Glacia understood my silence and left the washroom. I staggered out of the bathtub and slipped on a white fluffy bathrobe. The door swung open and Glacia’s smiling face popped in. “It’s the Queen Luna.”
• I breathed in and out countlessly before stepping into the warm bedroom. I never realized it was warm.
• I nervously dug my itching toes into the ground as I stared at the Luna. No doubt this was where the Alpha got his intimidating beauty from.
• The Luna had a somewhat superior aura. The velvet blue gown she wore flowed lazily behind her, she had mesmerizing clear blue eyes which was a contrast to the Alpha’s dark blue eyes that sometimes glowed dangerously dark when he was upset. The Luna had a lovely body structure and her kinky brown hair cascaded down her shoulders.
• She gracefully walked closer to me and held my chin. My breathing seized and my heartbeat increased in tempo. What this woman was doing to me I do not know, but one thing was clear she made me feel the way Alpha Xander always makes me feel whenever I was around him.
• “Luna.” I attempted to bow but she stopped me.
• Her smooth hands curled around my limp arm.
• “You are just as Xander has told me,” she whispered.
• I furrowed my brows in confusion.
• Did the Alpha tell his mother anything about me? My eyes widened slowly as I imagined him telling her that Nathan was my mate.
• “The… the alpha talked about me?” The smile smeared across her face didn’t disappear as I foolishly stuttered.
• “Hmmm.” She shook her head.
• “He said so much about you,” she responded. “And, it turned out to be true.” She slowly glanced at my full height, admiration danced around her iris. A pool of crimson color drowned my face.
• “Thank you, Luna,” I slightly bowed.
• If the Alpha told his mother good things about me then why is he being so cold?
• I shrugged absentmindedly, perhaps, Nathan got him upset.
• “Do you doubt it?” Luna’s enchanting voice propelled me back to the tense conversation. She noticed the shrug.
• “I never imagined the Alpha praising me.”
• “Why, because you’re an Omega?” her innocent question stung me as I stared at the ground, hiding my somber face.
• “Perhaps,” I replied in a whisper audible enough to her hearing.
• “Wha-what did he say about me?” I stuttered. I can’t believe I spoke to Queen Luna without being asked to.
• She raised her brows and smiled.
• “Everything.” My heart leaped.
• “Everything?” I muttered. She doesn’t look like someone who knows a thing about my pathetic life.
• “Your beauty, your nativity, your charisma, and the way he got attracted to you the first time his eyes met yours.” My jaws dropped.
• “Did- did he tell you that?” I’m pretty sure a cat has got my tongue. I can’t even fix the right words where they belong.
• “Don’t worry about the girls, they’ve been taken care of,” she waved her fingers, smiling at my shocked expression.
• Glacia and her servant giggled quietly as they watched my animalistic behavior.
• “Oh, I forgot to mention something,” she slapped her forehead and leaned closer to me, her hot breath fanned my tingling ears.
• “He also told me how much he loves you.”
• 🥰 Author's Note🥰
• Wow, Nathan wants her back and the Luna confessed how much Alexander loves her. Now, Elena is torn between the two, who do you think is the right one for her?
• Don't forget to pop in those gems, and leave a review. Did I forget to mention that you lovely readers still have my purple heart?
