My Cruel Mate novel Chapter 14

I stretched my limbs and got out of bed, the sun was bright and when I looked at the digital clock, it said 8 am. After I took a shower and went downstairs, I was surprised to find Candace in the dining room, eating breakfast with Marcus, Marcos, and my husband. My heart broke and I immediately spun around before they saw me but I was unfortunate

" Luna!" The poisonous bitch called, I closed my eyes momentarily and opened them before turning around. I didn't smile or pretend to be pleasant, I wanted to make it clear how much I hated her.

" Yes,” I said in a flat tone. She smiled

“ I came to congratulate you on your new position.” She said cheerfully, what was she playing at here?

“ Weren’t you supposed to do that yesterday?” She frowned and glanced at her lover who didn’t spare her a gaze.

“ I’m sorry, I was jealous but what do you expect? I’ve been with the alpha for years and he dumps me for you!”

“ Well, I’m sure he hates dumping you but it’s life, we can't always have what we want however, take comfort in the fact that you still have his heart. Enjoy your breakfast, “ I looked her up and down in disgust before walking away.

“ I told you she still hates me,” Complained Candace. I clenched my fist in anger, I just wanted to smack her in her stupid face.

I didn’t let it show but having her there really hurt me, how can he allow her to eat at the same table as me, and whore was sitting in my place, after what happened between us last night, I didn’t expect him to completely change but at least have some respect for me, and not entertain that slut in my presence. I went to the kitchen to get an apple that I ate.

I lazed around the whole day, I was looking for Jamal earlier to ask what kind of duties I should be doing but I was told he left for a long business trip.

I am in the room, talking to Levy, he’s telling me about the places he and his mate will be going when my door opens

“ You have to get ready for dinner, Luna,”

“ I’m not hungry, Juanita,” I said kindly.

“ Well, you are dining with Princess Arya of the Sapphire royal pack and her mate, Alpha Jacob Jones. I’m afraid you can’t miss it,” She informed me. I've heard of Princess Arya, rumor has it that she is the strongest female lycan and is mated to her nemesis. I was panicking, I'd never been in the presence of royalty before. What should I do?

" Princess Arya visits her cousins sometimes and she's lovely, no need to worry," Juanita said as if reading my mind. I decided to get ready in time. We picked out a stunning black backless dress with thin straps and wear heels. Catia let my hair cascade down my back and we did my makeup just how I like it.

I went downstairs and found the alpha there, he was in pants and a dress shirt. He glanced at me and asked;

“ Ready?” I nodded and we went outside to the car. The car ride was silent, the alpha was looking at his phone while I looked out the window, the lights were mesmerizing to watch at night. The car stopped at a high-class restaurant, and Alpha Edward helped me out.

The owner of the restaurant was there to welcome us and was pleased to have us. She took us to another part of the restaurant and there we found a couple sitting closely and talking. They stood to their feet.
