430-Ah His New Luna Queen Is My Bff.
A Week Later:
The rain on the day of the funeral has become a signature of mourning. It has become a bad habit forthe clouds to start raining whenever our eyes shed tears. My black dress was all wet as I stood besideJanet, watching everyone pay their respects and leave.
The misfortunate event took away Janet’s smile too, along with everything. It was weird how he gotrandomly attacked when he was on his way home in the middle of the night. The authorities said it wasa rogue attack. Whatever it was, it ruined Janet’s peace.
Everybody attended the funeral, including Lazlo, Christina, and Maynard. I haven’t spoken to themagain. I was too busy helping Janet with the funeral arrangements and also helping her withdepression.
“We should head back home now,” Lazlo whispered from behind me, making me aware of the curfew.After this attack, Corbin announced a curfew until the rogue was found. I am sure he didn’t care aboutfinding the rogue who killed Mathew. The whole attack only helped Corbin by confirming his rules werethe only things that would make a difference.
I wished I could stay with Janet, but Corbin had given me permission to stay for two days in the nextweek. He had taken control over everything now and it was bugging me to the next level.
“I will come stay with you next week. Can you please hold it up
until then?” I gently patted my hand on her back and asked her. She nodded faintly, and soon wewalked out of the cemetery to travel home.
“What are you doing?” Lazlo asked me when he watched me stand near the road and call an Uber.
“Calling an uber,” I answered,
“There is no need to be dramatic. Come sit with me.” He offered me a seat in his expensive a*s car,doing a favor to me.
“I believe we stopped sharing a car a few weeks ago. Let’s just keep it that way for a while,” I said,keeping my eyes on the road.
I was done pleasing him. The more I ran after him, the more he turned arrogant. That night, when theyrefused to help me, it was a nail in the coffin for me.
Soon my uber arrived, and in a few hours I had made it back to Lazlo’s pack.
“Thank you,” I thanked Marko for always helping me out. He was thankful that I helped him the othernight with his financial issues. And ever since then, he has been my personal Uber. He would makehimself available, no matter how busy he was, to give me a ride.novelbin
Once in the mansion, I found Lazlo in the living room. He was talking to someone on the phone in afrenzy.
“Okay, listen, I am coming over,” he said when he spotted me watching him. The instant he hung up thephone, he cleared his throat. “I have to be in the office for a few hours. I might come home tomorrowafter I finish all the work,” he murmured, but didn’t dare look me in the eye. He walked past me toquickly exit the mansion.
Something seemed off about his emergency departure from the mansion. What kind of office workwould he possibly be doing at midnight?
Nothing made sense, but I was too tired and exhausted to focus on him. Once I settled in the bed, Irealized Janet had called me over five times in the last hour.
Dialing her number, I noticed how quickly she picked up my call.
“Hey! are you okay?” I asked, watching her sit in the office and look all lost. She had facetimed me,which itself should have been a sign that something was strange, but then I thought maybe she wasfeeling alone.
However, it was much darker than I thought. “After you left— Corbin visited me,” she said, her eyesstuck in space and her face looking all pale.
“What? what did he want from you?” I asked, “Is it about choosing the alpha of the pack?” I proceededto ask her when she rubbed her hands all over her face in agitation.
“Enya! he offered me —,” she paused and closed her eyes. The little tremble in her body was a signwhatever he said had disgusted her.
“He wants me to be his Luna Queen,” she finally disclosed, and my heart stopped beating for a brieffew minutes.
“What?” I gasped. The word only came out like a heavy breath.
“He said that is the only way I can be the alpha of this pack, or else he will take the pack and merge itwith his own.” She explained how cleverly he was trying to convince her into accepting him.
“He said if I ever raised my head for the crown of the alpha, he would challenge me, and he wouldmake sure I was never able to raise my head at all. The only way I can secure the pack is to accepthim and be his Luna Queen.” She was sighing and steering her eyes away from me whenever shementioned that part. I could tell he had hurt her a lot by proposing to her about her beloved mate’sfuneral.
“He is so disgusting,” I muttered. “What do we do now? I don’t want to be his Luna Queen.” She lookedgenuinely scared at the idea of accepting that asshole.
“I know what he is trying to do.” I clenched my jaw. “You don’t have to do anything. He wants me tosuffer so much that I will give up.” I bit my tongue in anger.
“What? no! Thiago will never forgive me if I let you throw yourself in the fire for me,” she raised hervoice and finally looked my away.
“Well, news flash! Thiago is not here anymore. We need to do whatever we can to save each other,” Isaid before I hung up on her. I knew she would try to convince me, but I would rather save her thanmyself.
