“You look so beautiful my Luna” my chest flutters every time he says that and I still can’t believe Jaden is going to tell his dad I’m his mate and make me his Luna.
Sitting in the chair, my reflection and Jaden’s looking back at me I’m on the brink of tears.
I look beautiful, my hair pulled back into a messy bun which Jaden did himself, a lock of fiery red hair dangling at the side framing my face which matches the red velvet flowery red gown I was wearing accompanied with silvery heels.
I’m stunned by my ty.
“Are you going to ravish your reflection all day or should we leave”
I blushed looking away, taking his hand as he led me out of the room. He kissed me urgently, grabbing my ass behind.
“I love those clothes but you wouldn’t be needing them tonight” smacking my ass lightly he takes my hand squeezing a little and leads me out of his room.
It still feels unreal from an Alpha’s daughter to a slave and now being a Luna to the one man I’ve despised for years.
“Jaden,” I say quietly.
“Yes, Luna,” he replies.
“Stop calling me that” I request not meaning it and I’m sure my smile gives it away.
“Okay, Luna,” he says grinning widely.
“Am I dreaming?”
“Well I’m about to make your dreams come true” we stop in the hallway he pulls me into his hand, I’m a little conscious we’re in the hallway anyone could walk in any moment looking side to side to see if anyone was on it.
I’m stunned to see him standing there differently, Jaden’s arms tenses underneath me. I’m sure he had seen him too; Dimitri.
HAILEY STEWARTS
Dimitri walks towards us, the outlines of his face emotionless, I notice a scar by the side of his face, close to his left eye cutting down to his cheekbone, it looked deep and painful.
Driven by the newly developed concern of how he got the scar, I leave Jaden’s arms walking towards him and he does the same to me.
He holds my hand mid-air stopping me from touching his face.
“You look beautiful” he states simply with a look, dropping my arm as he walks past me like I didn’t mean a thing.
“Alpha” he greets behind me followed by his footsteps leaving.
“Let’s go,” Jaden says by my side, I give a small smile hiding my poleaxed state.
The drive to the Royal house is peaceful on the outside but the inside, I was panicking like hell.
I am resting on Jaden’s chest, his heart beating rhythmically underneath me, our hands intertwined, occasionally he kisses my forehead, easing my nerves but the closer we got, every bump and turn made my heart race.
What if his dad doesn’t accept me?
What if a slave can’t be chosen to be a luna and worst of all if the daughter of a traitor can’t be accepted by the pack?
These questions keep running through my mind.
“You okay?” Jaden asks softly.
I look up to the gorgeous man that’s every girl’s fantasy and miraculously mine… soon.
“Yes” I lie, my little stupid insecurities shouldn’t spoil the mood.
“You’re a terrible liar,” he says with a sly smile playing on his lips, placing a warm gentle kiss on my head he pulls me closer.
“Can’t wait for you to be my luna” he breathes on my neck, giving me butterflies, I’ll never get used to the way he makes me feel.
The long drive finally comes to an end. The driver turns off the ignition and the car doors are opened by a guy in dark blue clothes.
Jaden climbs out first then carries me on my waist making me giggle.
Finally, let me drop to the ground. I gasp at the beautiful house in front of me.
My jaw drops at the glamorous mansion. I thought Dimitri’s house was big, that is a joke compared to the building in front of me.
“I’m guessing you like the house,” Jaden whispers, breaking me from my trance.
I nod speechless, the big house is surrounded by well-trimmed pine trees decorated uniquely by cars and lamp posts centered with a giant fountain carved in wolf form.
The house stood high at least ten ft off the ground.
Snaking my hands with his we walk up the marble black stairs my silvery heels click-clacking as we walk by.
Besides, the open double doors were two guards stationed at the pillars with their sharp gaze and unblinking eyes, walking through the double doors was a red carpet on the floor leading through a hallway at the end of the t-junction a giant portrait placed high.
The man drawn had blonde hair just like Jaden’s with a jawline so sharp it looked like it could cut through rocks. The man’s ice-cold gaze made me feel petite, he looked like royalty and the atmosphere felt like it too, the portrait was beautiful and also a statement-making me rubbing my elbow nervously.
I’m guessing he is Jaden’s dad, my eyes widened in horror, this was the same man I’m supposed to be meeting today.
Jaden is oblivious to my nervousness but he looked just as tense as I was, scaring me the more as we took a left turn to what I’m guessing is the main room. It was well furnished, with a few guards stationed and people roaming silently.
“Stay here I’ll check on him” he kisses my knuckles and then leaves up the stairs leading to another floor.
I fumble with my gown anxious.
“Deep breaths” I kept reminding myself.
I hear hurried footsteps from behind turning in that direction. I saw a familiar face; Rustave. Wherever he was heading seemed urgent because he was in a haste and didn’t see me standing there watching him walk out the way we just came.
Jaden said I should wait for him but this might be my only chance to confront him about what he knows about my mom.
Keep a large distance between us I walk casually because I did not want to alert the guards, suspecting I was following him. He hurries just in front of me taking a left turn. I fasten my pace so I won’t lose him, I see his garment just before he disappears into the wall.
This side was darker. I notice, no windows or doors and no guards fixing my gaze on Rustave, just in time to see him walk into a wall.
I blink wondering if I had just gone mad. People don’t disappear through walls gliding my hand on the wall. My hand goes through it, a space, I wave my hand through and I was certain, it was a hologram of some sort, without hesitating I walk through it wherever I am this place was built differently unlike the rest of the house it was built with granite stone, the walls and floors there were two sides and I have no idea which one to go through.
Taking a leap of faith I go to the right walking carefully as my heels were making noise on the stone flooring I hear muffled sounds coming from the only door made of wood.
There was no way I could just barge into the room like that. Whoever was inside would spot me in seconds.
Placing my hands and ear on the door trying to make out what was being said inside.
I could hear different voices
“Make sure it stays a secret” I manage to hear, eclipsed by footsteps heading my way.
My blood turns cold as I realize the person was leaving. I run away taking the same route I came, I don’t want to find out what will happen if I’m caught.
I leave out the hologram wall just as Jaden walks into the hallway.
“Hailey?” He questions raising a brow. Whoever was leaving the room would be here any second.
“Jaden,” I reply with a fake smile.
“I’m so sorry I just love to explore, got lost so glad you found me shall we” taking his arm and tugging him away from the wall.
He looks at me weirdly but doesn’t say a thing about it.
