My Cruel Mate novel Chapter 5

I woke up the next morning with puffy eyes, showing how much I had cried. The door opened and I didn't have to remove the covers to know it was Juanita. The young girl's cheerful voice was enough to tell me, she came to tell me that breakfast would be ready in twenty minutes.

I got up as soon as she left and took a shower, I wore a low-cut dress and fixed my hair and makeup most adherent, before I went downstairs. I hope they don't eat breakfast together too. Dinner is enough, goddess. Please do this solid for me and I'll forgive you for the situation you put me through. I prayed silently.

My hands nervously tugged my dress as I went downstairs. I was dreading finding my mate or the brothers, even though Jamal is polite enough. I reached the dining room where the three brothers were sitting in their usual place. Unfortunately, Jamal was not around.

Good morning," I tried to sound as normal as I could, they nodded, and Marcos even gave me a tiny smile. As I took my seat, my gaze swayed towards my mate. He wasn't looking at me. Alpha Edward might not have said the words, but he was rejecting me as a mate with his attitude and it hurt more than I'd expected. I knew he wasn't a good man, but I expected some sort of kindness, since we are mates. I slowly started to eat when Marcus said " People are excited that they have a new luna," He was teasing his elder brother and with the way he reacted, he got what he wanted. Alpha Edward glared at me in annoyance and continued to eat his sausage.

" She's here as the luna, right, Edward?" asked Marcos. They always talk about me as if I'm not there!

" Yes," came Alpha Edward's curt reply.

" Candace will flip, she thinks you'll make her luna," My angry eyes snap at the alpha, and jealousy takes over me. I grip my knife tightly against my hand until my knuckles are white.

" Easy Luna, she's just his main whore, no need to cut yourself over it," Marcus winks and I'm livid by how casually he says it. As if it meant nothing at all.

" He likes them blondes with big boobs," he said, pointing out what I wasn't... My breasts are not too big and I'm a brunette.

" But it's fine, you're more beautiful than she is," Marcos adds, his sinister eyes stuck on the alpha who seems tired of their games already.

" Don't you think so, brother?"

" I'm leaving," Alpha Edward got to his feet and turned on his heels to walk away from us. Deciding that I'm done eating, I go back to my room and sit on the couch. I was so bored in this place.

The door opens a few minutes later and Lena walks in, a few other servants behind her. They all bow to me at once and a huge man brings in a rank of clothes
