"I am sure she lost her way around the pack house, don't be too angry." Dropping her hand on Fernando's hand, Juliet assuredly used her seductive voice. She wasn't sure why it always worked on him despite knowing the ruthless man he was, but she was never going to stop doing it.
"Let's eat," he ordered.
"Shouldn't we wait for Luna?" One of the elders at the table mustered up the courage to ask.
"Be my guest," Fernando answered and started eating.
With a satisfied smile, Juliet smirked and dug into her food. She intentionally left the door to Fernando's room slightly open, just in case that witch passed by. Who knew she would be bold enough to open the door and peep? That's what she gets for crossing her.
She would teach her not to mess around with the wrong person, Fernando was hers to conquer.
A few minutes later, Angel appeared with Phillip behind her. For some reason, she was shocked to find Fernando and Juliet present but she didn't show her expression.
"Good morning Alpha Fernando," politely, she greeted with a warm smile and moved closer to him to have her seat.
"Elder Aiden, can you swap seats with Luna?" Ignoring her, he asked, but everyone knew it wasn't a question but an order. Elder Aiden dared not question the Alpha, so he immediately answered and moved to the seat right next to the Alpha, the one for Luna.
Angel knew why he was doing that but she wasn't going to let any of his acts get to her, so she said, "Thank you Elder Aiden," and went to sit on his seat, at the far end of the dining table.
Annoyed, Alpha Fernando slammed his fists against the table, but Angel didn't waver and kept on smiling.
'I see you want to play it tough, huh.' Inwardly, he thought, angry at the fact that she wouldn't admit what she was feeling. He did love bold women but they had to submit to him, that was the best part of it.
'Just wait and see, I will give you the son you want and never appear in front of you again.' She vowed inwardly, swearing to accomplish her goals at all costs.
"Thank you," she expressed gratitude as she was being served by a maid.
Everyone ate in silence until the elders indulged the Alpha in the pack discussion which only bored Angel. It was always about fighting and conquering packs. Life in the human world was the best, as no one had to war against anyone, unless of course during business which wasn't bloody.
How she missed her life in the human world, she didn't have to bow to anyone or cry almost every day. Life was so peaceful there, that she wished she had never been born as a werewolf, well half werewolf. She doesn't even have abilities, she is completely human.
But now that she has a mate, it seems her werewolf part is alive. Sucks to be you!
Getting tired of the noise in the dining room, she quietly left the dining room but one eye didn't fail to see her. The more he tried to ignore her existence, the more she walked toward his path. Why wouldn't she just be a weak and stupid Luna like the preceding Lunas?
At least, he would be able to protect her and she wouldn't end up being killed like those unlucky ones.
"Alpha Fernando?" Elder Aiden called when he seemed to be lost in thoughts.
"You are free to invite anyone as long as Luna is fine with it." He answered and stood to leave the dining table.
"Juliet, I won't be needing you until evening time." Facing Juliet who was about to stand up and follow him, he relayed and walked out of the dining room.
Finally able to navigate through the pack house, she found her way back to her room and slumped to the bed once she was in. Just two days here and she was already exhausted, how worse could her days go in this pack?
It was better to avoid those two for now until the ceremony, that way, she would have no cause to be sad.
Getting up, she decided to take a warm bath so she could feel better before meeting her governess. She was midway away from being naked when the door swung open, taking her off guard. Screaming, she covered her breast with her hand and curled her legs in a manner to hide.
Wondering who it was, she faced the door only for the person she didn't want to see at the moment to walk in and shut the door behind him. 'What was he doing here?'
"Al..Alpha Fernando, how can I help you?" Swallowing her fear, she asked, still curled up in one position.
Fernando's gaze landed on her naked waist and he couldn't help staring at them. They were so milky and slender that he wished to kiss them. Though he saw her naked already, he wasn't able to properly size her until now.
Why was she suddenly so attractive to him? It had to be the mate pull because he had never been attracted to women. They were just sex toys and could be easily gotten rid of.
"Alpha?" She called, feeling uncomfortable under his scrutinizing gaze. Why was he being so impolite? They were mates but that gave him no right to stare at her in such an inappropriate manner. She had never been naked in front of a man before, so it was awkward and embarrassing for her.
"Where were you earlier?" Acting like he didn't just get distracted by her waist, he asked in a cold tone.
"I was checking the pack house out, I wanted to get familiar with the corridors." She answered.
"You could have done that later," he queried and she almost lost it but managed to keep her cool.
"You are right, I will be careful next time." She said, wanting to end the conversation on time. There was no need to argue, it would only put her at a disadvantage.
"Good," he answered and things grew silent between them.
"Alpha, is there anything else you need?" She asked when he didn't move to leave.
For some reason, he wanted her to question him, get mad at him but she wasn't doing any of what he expected. Just what had she gone through to be able to keep everything?
"No, what of you?" He asked.
"I was going to discuss this with you on my wedding night but I could as well just say it now." She started, earning his attention.
"Shoot!" He permitted.
"Would you mind not having sex with any other woman until I am with child?"
