The 5-time Rejected Luna Queen
Chapter 40-1

Chapter 40-1

The shiny red dress stared at me, along with the crystal heels, diamond ring, no necklace and earrings, but I refused to let a tear drop over all of this

I ignored the numerous dishes in front of me and the fact that Dexter was already eating,

"What are all these? If you’re doing this to get my...’

"You’d have to wear that to the celebration taking place after the anniversary. You’re the Alpha’s wife, Amelia and so you have to look the best." Dexter uttered,

"There’s only one of these dresses in the world Luna and the Alpha had instructed the shoes be made specially for his Luna. The set of jewelry is of the best gold and diamonds in the world."

"That’s enough explanation." Dexter cut him off before he could continue and he walked away,

"Aren’t you going to eat?" He questioned, but I shook my head,

"No. I can’t accept this." I ordered as I pushed the box closer to him. I just wanted to leave this place so I wouldn’t end up crying. Why was he doing all of this if he was only going to end up playing with my emotions. I wasn’t ready to fall in love with Dexter and end-up with a broken heart in the end,

It was clear all of this wasn’t real and I would have to leave after a year and I couldn’t fall for him.

I rose to my feet, but Dexter stopped me, "Why?" He questioned,

"I don’t know, Dexter, I just don’t want it." I responded,

"I’m not doing this for you, Amelia, I’m doing it because my pack and my family are well respected. As Luna of the pack, you’ll need to fit in perfectly." He uttered and his response was finally able to keep me calm,

We stared at each other. This was more like the Dexter that I knew,

"You could have made it simple and just gotten the dress without all of these surprises."

"Don’t you want a quiet place to eat?" He questioned and I nodded my head. As he let go of my hand, I took my seat and covered the box again. All through the lunch, I had just one thought,

That this didn’t mean anything to Dexter and I was glad.

A few hours later, we were done and it was finally time to go home. I hopped into the car first and when Dexter did the same afterwards, the doors were shut

The drive back to the mansion was slower than our journey earlier, but once it halted, I let out a deep breath, happy that finally the awkward moments between Dexter and I were going to be over.

I stepped out of the car and began heading inside the house without my box because I had instructed a maid to take it in,

As I stepped in, Clara and Tyson were in the living room, and while Clara was busy with her phone, Tyson didn’t stop talking to her,
