Chapter Fifteen
The next morning, Chloe sat down in front of her vanity mirror, applying a light lipgloss. She was so annoyed about everything that was happening so far. And, she felt so helpless about it too. Chloe had no idea why her life was the way it was. She wished that things had been better, but there was no time for regrets now.
Despite her plannings, she wondered if she going to have the courage to put it in action. Standing against Alpha Fletch and his whole family would be no walk in the park. She only prayed for the courage to make things easier for herself. She wanted nothing more but to have freedom, no matter what.
These people did not value her, and were constantly playing mind games sos she would think that they have changed, but the truth was that they had not changed one bit;. They were desperately wiped, and acting for the main time. Hopefully, things would get better from now on, but she honestly doubted it.
A knock…
Chloe sighed as she looked towards the door. “Who is there?” She asked calmly.
“It’s Vivian, the maid,” came a timid voice.
Chloe let the lipgloss slide down. “Come in,” she said easily.
The maid stepped in, looking pitiable in a baggy tracksuit. Chloe didn’t understand the outfit, but she made sure that she said nothing regarding the issue. She honestly didn’t care about any of these things, and she believed that this would help her to see that there was no use staying in this sort of environment.
‘May the moon goddess give me courage so I can get out of this mess,’ she prayed, inwardly.
The maid informed her that she had to come to the breakfast table soonest, so she could take her breakfast as per the Alpha’s orders. Chloe nodded. She turned to the mirror and noted that her white skirt suit was exactly what she needed.
Chloe sighed as she turned away from the mirror and walked behind the maid. She honestly wanted to stay back, but she knew that was impossible. She wondered if Liam was there. He had no come back in since last night, and honestly she didn’t miss him. She was offended instead by the fact that she was stuck to him.
At the dinning, the Alpha sat at the head of the table, and his took almost every chair save for one. There was no sign of Liam, and his mother. Chloe believed that she could be in a wrong setting. How come she would have to eat with men? She had not heard of such a tradition before, and it rattled her slightly.
“Alpha Fletch,” she greeted, bowing slightly.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
There was barely any response, and instead a guard pushed her down on the empty seat. Chloe was shocked at this. She really couldn’t believe that things would turn out to be this way. It didn’t actually make sense. Has the two minutes kindness expired already? She didn’t understand it one bit.
The rest of the men on the table barely spared her a glance. She had no idea if she should be relieved or worried at this. Everything was so strange, and when the maid placed potatoes instead of toast and coffee that almost everyone was eating, she became more worried that things would be more intense for her from now on.
There was something off, but still she picked up the fork, and dug into the dish. She was about to put it in when the desk made a banging sound. Chloe looked up in fright and noted that the Alpha was glaring at her. There was something definitely wrong and she honestly didn’t know how to right it. Did she really care? She wasn’t so sure.
She lowered the spoon down.
“She wants to eat when she is nothing but a thorn on my son’s path. How very convenient can one get in this situation?” Alpha Fletch ground out.
Chloe was completely confused. She had no idea why they were talking to her this way, and she tried her best not panic. Alpha Fletch kept glaring at her like she had done something awful to be there at that moment, and she was getting so confused.
“Who are you to stop my son from mating with you? You think you can do as you please in this pack, but no, you’re too small. My son owns you now that you’ve accepted to be a part of his life. There is no Prince for you, and we are your people. Do you think that they would treat you better than us? That’s not happening! You were created to be for my son, Liam and that is what you shall be,” he snapped.
Chloe simply stared at him. At this point, he wasn’t making much sense to her, and he was simply ranting. Since Liam thought that the best thing to do to improve their strained relationship was to complain to his father for everything that transpired between them, then she honestly didn’t care. She didn’t want to think much about the issue at all.
“She is nothing, but a crazy woman, who shouldn’t have been a part of us. Emily was the better choice for Liam, not her. She is really so disgusting, and don’t know how privileged she is to get Liam’s attention,” one of the men said spitefully.
Chloe stared at her food in anger. Was this why she had been called here? So, she would be humiliated by this people? It was so damn annoying and she hated it so much. She wanted to leave this place so bad.
“My daughter was born to be a queen. I’m sad that she has to be at home right now, and not in her rightful place, planning to be the future Luna of our pack. But, it is what it is. The young lady who was put in the line is insulting out boy so much, and I can’t stand how disgusting it all is. I hate this so much,” Emily’s father said.
Chloe sighed, and turned to him. “If you hate this so much, and all of you believe that Emily is the better Luna. Even Liam love her a lot. Why don’t you all do me a favour and get her together with him? Why do you have to rope me into all these nonsense? Get her to mate Liam, and just leave me the fuck alone!”
There were gasps around the table, with everyone looking at her in shock. They couldn’t believe that she had spoken back to them. She had always being a timid girl, taking all the insults that they dished at her without blinking even once, but now, she had suddenly become audacious, and it was really shocking to see.
Chloe got up from her seat, unable to bear the torture of sitting with them. She could hear them saying that they had not imagined that she would talk back to them, and where had she gotten such confidence from? It was crazy, and all sorts of things. Chloe didn’t respond to any of those things, as she walked into her room, banging the door shut.
She had been controlling herself for sometime, but she honestly couldn’t anymore. She was too scared to do anything now, and she wanted nothing more but for freedom to come to her and soon. It was just too much.
The constant bullying and demonic ways that they attacked her made her feel like she was an abnormally. It was a contrast to how Prince Aiden had looked at her like she was the only woman in the world.
Prince Aiden had looked at her with pure love and devotion. She tried not to dwell on it too much, but she couldn’t ignore it also. Hitting the back of her head repeatedly on the door, she thought about the fact that she had missed the opportunity.
Yet, this wouldn’t be norm anymore.
Quietly, she stood up from the floor, and made her way to the mirror. She realised her eyes were red. She had been crying without even knowing it. It was so sad that all these were going on with her at a time when she was more vulnerable.
Was there no way she could run? No! That wasn’t part of the plan, and where would she even run to? Chloe had nowhere to go, and she was stuck here because this was her home. It was one of the reason, she had agreed to stay back when she did, and she hated herself for it. She wished she could have been better. She wished she had done right, and be brave for once in front of the seer.
The fact that Prince Aiden and almost everyone present in that hall had been willing to fight for her and she still messed it up, made her more angry. What did she gain in this place? Nothing.
