SAVED BY THE LYCAN KING novel Chapter 33

GINA'S POV

I took a deep breath and tried to focus on the pottery session in front of me. The noble of the pack chatted and laughed around me. I tried to focus in how their hands shaped the clay but I couldn't focus on anything else but my thoughts.

Our pottery session today was supposed to be a relaxing activity. It was also a chance for us to bond and for me to fulfill my duties as Luna. But my mind was filled with emotions couldn't control. I couldn't belived Alpha Ferris refused me! He even said I couldn't compete with Elise, on what grounds! I'm Luna afterall.

Suddenly, Jackson’s voice echoed in my mind, taunting me.

"Elise..." he had moaned as I sucked his cock. At the thought of that day, I gripped the clay so hard it began to crumble under my finger.

My frustration seeped into the very material I was supposed to be molding. How could he still be thinking of her? Elise. What was so special about her? She was practically a maid now.

I thought Jackson never cared about Elise. What the hell was going on now? I needed to find a way to humiliate her even more. That way, I would get her out of his mind and bring his main focus to me.

That little bitch. She was always getting in the way of everything. I wondered what was so special about her anyway. She was nothing, a nobody.

"Careful, Luna Gina," Lady Janet said gently. She sat beside me. Her eyes flickered to my hands.

I forced a smile, trying to control myself.. "I will be" I said "Thank you"

I tried to focus on the clay, trying to shape it into something presentable, but my thoughts betrayed me again.

This time, I thought of Alpha Ferris. His name alone made my cheeks heat up in embarrassment. The Lycan King had been my last hope, my plan to seduce him for a powerful alliance.

Sure, I was Jackson's Luna but there was nothing wrong with aiming higher. Alpha Ferris was the Lycan King - the most feared leader on the continent. His name alone made people shiver in fear. I wanted to get on his good side.

What other way that to entice a man than to seduce him? I mean, my good looks and charm have always worked for me but not this time. I couldn't believe what happened that day. He pushed me out of his room without a second thought.

My grip on the clay tightened once more, and before I knew it, the pot I was shaping collapsed into a soggy mess. Wet clay splattered onto my dress, staining the fine and expensive fabric.

"Damn it!" I snapped. My voice came out harsher than I intended. The attendant closest to me flinched

"Let me help you out, your grace" She tried to help me wipe off the stain but I was so angry that I slapped her hand away. "Don't fucking touch me, you peasant!"

Her eyes widened in shock. She bowed her head "I'm sorry, Luna" Realizing my outburst, I took a deep breath and forced a tight smile.

"I'm sorry, that was uncalled for. Please forgive me." The attendant nodded quickly then left. The noble ladies exchanged glances and whispered.

I instantly regretted my outburst. They knew my parents, and I couldn't afford to have them gossiping about my tantrums. I had to keep up the golden child image.

"I need to excuse myself," I said. I stood, brushing the clay from my dress as best as I could, and walked out of the room. The moment I was alone, I let out a scream of frustration. What the hell is happening?
