My Cruel Mate
My Cruel Mate. 6

Edward Pov

Members of the pack needed a luna and that girl is perfect for the part, she is not only beautiful butshe seems so innocent and kind.

I can't work straight as images of her lovely face comes to my mind, she has big beautiful chocolateeyes that match her long soft looking wavy hair. Soft-looking lips and I hate to admit it but she isdriving my lycan crazy, fucking mate bond! The desire to take her in my arms and rip off her clothesso that I should bury my erection in her is getting stronger.

Candace barges into my office and stands in front of me, crossing her arms against her chest inanger. I close my eyes momentarily before opening them again, I was hoping she was gone but Iwasn't that lucky.

" What is this rumor going around that you have a luna now?" She screeches, and I lean my headagainst the chair.

"Yes, I need her for the pack,”

" What about me!"

" Well, that girl was made in a deal and will get people's respect unlike you, plus, my brother alreadybrought her," I shrug, dismissing her with the wave of my hand.

My brother informed me that he is throwing a party to introduce the new luna so I leave work early,once in the house, the guest have already arrived and they are all anxious to meet their new luna.

" Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to the woman you've all been desiring to see, yournew Luna, Caliana Meyers,"

My mate descends the stairs and I'm stunned by her overwhelming beauty. She is wearing a gentlesmile that doesn't reach her eyes and one couldn't tell she's anxious but I can, I detected she tapsher fingers against her right hip in a rhythm when she's anxious, I noticed during our occasionalinteraction. I interacted with a few guests that came when the girl

' Caliana is her name,’ My inner lycan, Ward, reminds me

'1 know that,

' why don't you ever mention it," He asks and I growl, frustrated with him. He wants her but I can'trisk it. We can't fall for her, she might end up betraying me like her.

' Say her name, just this once,’ He urges. I open and close my mouth. Her name is as lovely as she isbut I can't produce it for some reason

“Say it,’

" Cal- Caliana Meyers," I whisper and it felt so good, I had to compose myself not to scream it so Iwhispered it again and again

' Caliana Meyers,"

' Yes!" My lycan roared in my head. My eyes searched for her and I saw her talking to fuckingCandace, this won't go well. She was degrading her and insulting her, however, she didn't shrink orget intimidated by her, instead, Caliana watched the girls calmly, coldly in fact. Ward couldn't take itany longer, my legs were on autopilot as I marched over to the small group

" Candace, is that any way to talk to your luna?" The girls bowed their heads to me except my mate,she was watching me like she didn't believe my words but soon, all affection that was in her eyes asecond ago was gone and anger replaced that, she bowed her head and excused herself, leaving medumbfounded. Did I do something wrong?

I turned to leave but Candace grabbed my arm and stood closer to me, smiling she asked

" Can you dance with me, please?" I declined but she insisted and started acting childish again.

"1 won't stop asking until you accept to dance with me, Papi,” She smiled seductively and Iextended my eyes to her, ignoring how Jamal was glaring at me.

' She was making a scene,’ I said to him via mind link.

' Don't you think it's disrespectful to dance with another while your luna is watching?’ He barks, Igripped Candance's back as we swayed softly to the music

' And I told you this, I don't care about the Meyers girl," I sneered. He blocked the link to me andwent to my mate to dance, they only danced for a minute and when partners were switched duringthe dance, she vanished into thin air. I immediately let go of the woman I was dancing with to lookfor her but I didn't replace her so I followed her intoxicating scent to the garden, I growled when Ifound her talking to another man.
