Killing My Alpha Mate
Chapter 52

A knock on the door draws our attention.

"I'll get that" I say simply ambling to the door.

"Luna" A maid greets with a bow, these last two days a title that has been forced on everyone making me hate it, only made me happy when I was Jaden's luna. "Yes"

"The event is in four hours I have been instructed to get you ready"

I sigh rubbing my temples if I disobey Carter he'll throw a tantrum and end up injuring himself or someone else.

"Alright, I'll be out in a minute " I tell the maid walking back into the room and resting my back on the door. Wishing I could just disappear and run away with Jaden to a place they'll never replace us.

"Our own paradise for where we make the rules"

"Jaden?" The warm feeling disappeared, making me whimper but I was getting used to the hollow ground.

He was accustomed to doing that momentarily comforting me sneaking in my thoughts invading my mind but he never stays.

His way of punishing me.

"Looks like you have matters to attend to" Nisha says giving a sad smile.

"I guess so." Sitting by her side I hugged her. I badly need comfort.

The hopelessness is increasing with each passing moment everyone was trying to hold on to the last shimmer of hope left but it kept fading with time.To avoid an incomplete reading experience, visit Jobn'i'b.com. “You take care of yourself you don't have to come" Carter's introduction party, he wanted to officially claim to his subjects the Blood moon pack and me as Luna.

"We won't," Nisha says, giving my hand a light squeeze.

"Elijah listen to Nisha " I tease as he gives a grumpy look, crossing his hands with a pout.

Taking a deep breath I walk out the door.

The maid leads me back to my room where they had dropped dresses on my bed with different colors.

The green definitely stands out. Everything about it reminded me of Jaden.

It was a ballroom gown with lace sleeves and a low neck.

It looks beautiful.

"That's one ma'am" A maid says drawing me out of my trance.

"Yes... No sorry, I'll wear something else" I don't want to look beautiful for this stupid event.

The green one it is" his voice sails from behind me making my muscles clench within.

I never thought I'd ever meet a man I dislike more than Lord Perry; somehow Carter is in it to win it.

"Alpha" I say with a bow. I wanted to say 'leave my room' instead but it would be pointless.

"Luna I've told you to call me Carter"

"No Alpha" I reply.

Instead, if you take a hint and face the obvious we won't keep having this controversy. Carter prefers being lied to as long as it works in his favor.

Ignoring me he walks into the room and picks up the green gown placing it from a range in my direction like he was envisioning me in the gown.

"This one is just right" He finally says.

Without being told the maids rush to gather the rest of the gowns shoving them away.

The man terrified everyone around him and he enjoys It, making him feel powerful.

One thing my father emphasized on: you can easily gain their fear but not their respect.

"As you wish Alpha" I say, faking a smile.

He smiles up at me, his eyes raking up and down my body. I don't flinch but feel myself throw up a little in my mouth.

Nothing about this man interested me, yes he was handsome and had the charisma of a fantasy novel but I am utterly withdrawn from his charms. The thought of spending my life with him made me contemplate suicide. "Tonight my precious we take this empire, everything here is all ours and we rule as we please" Carter whispers in my face.

"Yes Alpha will you be a darling and leave the earlier I'm done the better" I say fluttering my lashes flirtatious.

"Of course, my love would have loved to stay and help you but I have that matters to attend to"

I push him out the door.

"I can only imagine" I say smiling stupidly before shutting the door and bolting it.

Once he's out I take a long bubble bath with rose petals and aloe.

Wearing my underwear and putting on a green dress that's better than I imagined. I wish Jaden could see me in it.

The maids start their work on my hair, blow drying curling combing the small wave my hair had been styled up in a bridal hairdo, one lock of the black hair had been curled and left to fall, curving my round face and light makeup. I wish I felt as good as I looked.

There's a knock on the door where the event had begun.

The maids helped me to my feet, leading me out of the room. Every step I took made my legs shake.

A thud startles me.

Someone had shut the door abruptly.

I look at the door pondering why I felt drawn to the door.

"Luna" The maid calls out.

"Yes"

"We need to go or you'll be late"

"Yes yes," I say looking away from the door as we head toward the exit.

The event was held out the front of the pack house designed like a stage built high. As we walked closer I could see the crowd making my heart skip.

I have never been in front of a crowd before I hope Carter does most of the talking.

Standing in a royal outfit extruding the aura of an Alpha.

"Luna Hailey" A small girl who looks adorable with her pink dress and blue eyes.

I crouch low to her level.

"Yes child"

I got a gift for you but I don't know how to give you she says shyly looking away.

I notice her hands behind her.

"You can give me a child" I say, smiling up at her.

"Really?" She smiles gleefully.

I nod in response, I had fallen for this beautiful child.

"Alright shut your eyes no peeking" She warns with a put making me laugh.

"Okay" I close my eyes, stretching my hand expecting the gift.

Instead, I hear her footsteps heading behind me.

Her little finger is around my neck and a necklace rests on my b****t and I feel her struggling to clasp it.

"Alright I'm done you can open it now" Smiling I look down my smile turning upside down as I see the emerald flower necklace.

"Child, where did you get this?" I ask, caressing it.

"He gave me "She says pointing to the door and I see him, Jaden Perry.

"You look beautiful my luna" He says via mind link walking away till his out of view.
