Alpha's Cursed Luna novel Chapter 26

ELEANOR

Barbara smirked. "Didn't little bestie tell you? She and her family fled from the pack, without the alpha's permission. Don't pretend you didn't know about this" She finally got up, yanking her arm from Paula harshly as she took two steps towards me, dragging her heels that broke when she crashed onto the nearby wall.

Making a ninety degree turn, I shot her a questioning look, one that made her flinch as she held my intense gaze that could pierce through walls of solid rock.

Sabrina left? If that's true, then that means...

Crossing my arms, I snickered before trapping her in a deathly glare.

"So what if I did? What does it have to do with you, Barbara?" I raised my brow, pretending not to seem shocked as I really am now. Starting today, I will never show anyone any sign of weakness they can possibly use against me. I'm sick of my feelings being played and taken advantage of in this way.

Barbara straightened and looked back at me right in the eye, coiling her hands into fists before she spoke.

"Everything! It has everything to do with me you witch!" She practically yelled the words out of her throat, causing the sound of ringing to reverberate inside my ears. She was out of control.

"I was supposed to keep on eye on her! Your father--" Just as she was about to say something next, the door behind me banged open. I whipped my head to look at the intruder realizing it was Adrian. His jaw clenched and his eyes flared up in anger as he seemingly looked right through me, towards Barbara's direction and I twirled around, snapping my eyes up to face him.

"What are you two dawdling around here for? Get yourselves back to the party, NOW." Adrian glared at them, somehow his Alpha blood still enabled him to exude a dominating aura despite not having a wolf at all, still his was nowhere near stronger than Alex's.

Barbara and Paula immediately scurried off and out of the powder room, leaving me alone with Adrian who was still glaring at the two who just ran out of the bathroom door.

But then when he turned his head towards me, I see a smile plastered on his face.

We walked back to the party in silence. Nearing the hall, Adrian suddenly spoke.

"I've met Alpha Victor today. Pretty awesome guy," he chuckled.

I glanced at him with one raised brow.

"How so?"

"He told me you've been bullied a lot by those two, is that true?" He asked.

I looked at him surprised.

"Yes, but why did he tell you that?"

And Victor knew this all along? The knot formed in my stomach twisted painfully, making me let out a groan I barely managed to stop from escaping.

A smile crept to his face.

"He wants me to protect you pretty sister-in-law, keep you safe from harm, "

Before I could open my mouth to speak, I felt someone grab my hand and pull me into a warm embrace. I landed on a wall of rock-hard muscle so I looked up to see who it was.

"What took you so long?" He kissed the top of my head before leaning his head back.

Alex was pouting when our eyes locked at that moment, and I chuckle to myself seeing him make that expression for the first time.

"Sorry, I bumped into someone from my pack" I said truthfully.

He nodded before glancing at Adrian standing not far from my side.

"Let's go back to our tables. They're serving desserts." He said with a hint of excitement evident in his husky voice.

I blinked at him, but the idea of eating desserts has increased my appetite and energy all of a sudden.

We marched to our table, sitting down I see Victor and Sandra eating quietly while the others were having discussions among themselves.

I fixed my eyes on Victor's face firmly. He stared at me right back with a cocky grin playing on his lips.

Now you don't have anything to hold against me, don't you father? I think to myself.
