Either way, she finally looks at me with a sneer. “Wake up, child. I don’t care if you’re an Alpha or whatever. You are nothing. I stand by what I said last time. No Clan, no family, no money, no power. Fated mates? Whatever. Damian will marry me, because I am the right partner for him, and for his Clan, to stand as his Luna.”
I hate that woman. She’s not just arrogant, she is also a greedy bitch. Greedy for my mate. Moon Goddess, I hate those conspicuous eyes of hers. I don’t care about the Clans or those struggles of power and money. All I feel is hatred for this other woman who wants my mate, my Damian. My wolfis on the verge of coming out to kill her, and I must say, my human self has the same frightening thought.
Unaware of my anger, she keeps talking. “Whatever you do, you will never be enough, Bluemoon. Do you think you can afford it? Oh, sure, they might like you. You will be the adorable little doll. But his Clan will lose it trying to protect you. No financial support, no business deals, no allies. Watch it. It’s only a matter of time before they all disappear because of you. All because of you.”
I clench my fist, trying hard to hold it in. Damian is holding me tighter, angry. I can tell a lot of eyes are on me, worried or curious, but I don’t give a damn right now. I’m fighting to contain my wolf, and my urge to silence this woman the hard way. I can’t lose control now... This would launch a war between the two packs...
“I guess it’s not too late. If you recognize right now that you were wrong to defy me and acknowledge that I will be the only right one to mate with Damian, I can talk to my—”
“NORA!”
I jump into my wolf form and aim straight at her. I ignore Damian’s voice behind me.
This woman asked for it.
Chapter 12
“This is what I call a mess, miss Nora.”
I ignore him. Sitting on Damian’s desk, still as furious as before, I’m not impressed at all by Neal’s lecture. Arms crossed, I look at him walking in circles in Damian’s office. I don’t care that he is annoyed at me; I’m annoyed at them, too.
It took Neal, Bobo, and Damian to stop me. I was that close to finally giving that woman what she deserved! I will remember for a long time the terror in her eyes when I jumped at her in my wolf form. I was that close to scratching her! But after escaping Damian’s grasp, Bobo and Neal jumped at the same time to hold me back, and my mate caught me back a second later. Apparently, it took a while to calm my wolf down, but it’s kind of blurry for me. I was so blinded by anger that I let my wolf take control entirely.
I do feel sorry for Bobo, though. I accidentally scratched his jaw with my claws while trying to escape them, and now he has a large compress on his face. I give him an apologetic look as he is standing against the wall, but he just seems bored by his brother’s nagging.
“Not only this could have ended in conflict with the Gold Moon Clan, but on top of it, the Sapphire Moon was right there watching!”
“I’m pretty sure the Blood Moon Clan is already in conflict with the Gold Moon Clan,” I growl.
“Not in the open! And it doesn’t give you the right to kill their Alpha’s daughter!”
“Well, the Sapphire Alpha was applauding...” Mutters Bobo.
Neal gives him a glare.
To be precise, William was even laughing out loud after they caught me. Whether it was because of my fury or because Alessandra and her followers ran away, he liked the show and made it clear. What a ruckus for that wretched woman...
I go back to ignoring Neal’s litany about how reckless I was and stare outside. A mix of rain and snow started pouring right after I exploded. William took it as his excuse to leave, though he deliberately ignored the matter of Liam. Plus, Damian and the Betas were too busy trying to calm me down to argue any further. In the end, I was dragged back to Damian’s office. I’m still angry, even after going back to my human shape and changing. I’m stuck with the Mura brothers, while Damian left to discuss what happened with the Gold Moon with his Lieutenants. Nathaniel is there, too, but he ignores us. I’m pretty sure he is busy mind-linking Liam.
“This is highly problematic, Miss Nora. None of us like Miss King either, but you can’t attack other packs in the open like that! This is the perfect excuse for them to get back at us, and now is certainly not the time for this.”
“So, what, I’m supposed to swallow her insults like it’s nothing?” I ask angrily.
“No, you are supposed to act smarter than her! Don’t stoop to that woman’s level!”
Oh, I have an excellent idea about which level I would want to bring that woman down to...
“Is Damian done rambling?”
“Neal Mura is the one me to death right now. When are you coming back, you chicken?”
I hear Liam laugh in my head. How can he find fun in a situation like this...? I hope he stayed behind for nothing.
“I’m serious, Liam. When are you coming back?”
“Pretty soon. The Sapphire Moon Clan is kind of boring. They don’t like people coming in, but it is quite easy to go out. I might have to beat some of their fighters’ asses, though.”
“How come you get to have fun while I have to be scolded for hours for trying to scratch that woman?”
