Breanna pulled herself together, slowly making a step forward trying to control her smile.
Finally, the moon goddess had decided to grace her with honor before the pack members she thought as she took another small step forward.
"Breanna Styles, please make way for my queen," Alexander called out, making everyone gaze fall behind her.
Feeling as if someone had just poured a bucket of iced water on her in embarrassment she turned around to see who had everyone's attention.
She fisted her hands against her navy blue dress feeling her heart shatter into a million pieces. Her eyes fell on Camille who wore a long magnificent red dress that screamed power on her.
Camille smirked at her as she held her hand on her barely showing pregnancy bump, making Breanna unconsciously cover hers.
Camille pushed her aside causing her to stumble in her steps, luckily Peter supported her.
Breanna flashed Alexander a betrayed look, but his eyes seemed too fixated on his queen as he had introduced her.
Breanna couldn't bear it anymore as she made her way swiftly out of the room, tears threatening to pour even before she was out of sight.
Was this why Alexander gave her father a rank? Just to humiliate her even more? Breanna sat on the bathroom floor, tears running down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Her life had finally taken a knot she didn't know how to undo. She held onto her stomach feeling her wolf's sorrow as she tried to comfort her.
She fell into a hazy state where her body felt light and renewed. She looked down at her body noticing she no longer wore the navy-blue dress but a pink flowery dress making her look around confused.
Suddenly, a white dazzling light shone on her, making her shield her eyes from the intensity of light. Was she dead? Did the stress finally kill her? She felt fear creep up her body.
"Don't be afraid, my child, you are not dead," a female voice from the light addressed her.
"Who is it?" Breanna asked softly, trying to see who the woman was.
"I am the moon goddess my child, all that is happening to you, I have planned and laid out by me," the woman said, stepping out of the light as she stretched her hand to hold Breanna's.
Breanna frowned at her words. How could the moon goddess cause her suffering? Wasn't she supposed to like love and take care of her creation?
"Fret not my child I'll answer all your questions, you are my chosen, you will bear the children that will bring both Lycan and Wolf species together," The woman said, her face not yet clear.
"They are the key to stopping the ongoing war between both species," she continued caressing her hand.
"But why would you let me suffer so much if I am your chosen?" Breanna asked, feeling frustrated.
"Sometimes my child, you have to learn the hard way so that you'll be able to lead my people to unity," she answered. Breanna found it quite callous of her.
"I know you have numerous questions, but I'll show them to you all in due time, but right now, I want you to know you are to stick with your mate, he might be stubborn, but I have a plan for the both of you," the moon goddess explained.
"What plan?" Breanna inquired feeling like this was a funny dream she would come out from.
"All in due time my child, take this necklace and keep it always with you, it will protect you at all time," the moon goddess said, handing her a gold necklace.
"But how do I stay with him after what he has done to me?" Breanna asked, taking the necklace, surprised that she could hold it as if in real time.
She felt power surge inside her as soon as she touched the pendant, making her head fall back making her feel as if she were in limbo.
Breanna slowly cracked her eyes open. She didn't know for how long she sat on the floor but when she opened her eyes she was no longer in the sparkly pink dress but her damp navy-blue dress.
The mansion seemed quiet as crept her way out of the bathroom washing away the last of her dried tears. She shook her head, making sure she didn't imagine the encounter with the moon goddess.
She laughed lowly to herself as she concluded on how delusional heartbreak could turn a person.
Her body felt unusually light and relaxed as she stood before the wall mirror, her smile dying down on seeing the golden pendant around her neck.
"What the h…" She cursed but was interrupted when a male voice spoke behind her.
"I didn't imagine you would take this easy after the reaction you portrayed downstairs," Alexander stated, stunned at his mate's amusement.
She didn't seem bothered at all at what had happened to her. Alexander scoffed at his earlier worried state of his mate's reaction.
How his wolf reflected her wolf's pain earlier made his heart wrench. But here she was smiling at the mirror not looking even a bit bothered by what had transpired.
"Your Majesty, it's not like that I can explain," Breanna said, surprised at how not angry she felt. It was as if the moon goddess had taken her hurting away.
"You don't have to explain anything, it seems your lover is making you happy," Alexander accused, making Breanna knit her eyebrows in silence.
"What do you mean by that Alexander?" Breanna asked, feeling anger creeping up her veins.
"Don't pretend to be innocent, I don't know what I did to make the moon goddess angry that she gave me a whore as a mate!" Alexander proclaimed,hurling insults at her.
Breanna looked at him confused wondering where he got those ideas.
"The only one here who has a lover here is you," Breanna snapped, having had enough of his accusations.
He just publicly humiliated her hours ago, and he stood before her calling her names?
"Who are you raising your voice at, woman!" Alexander barked, surprised her new-found power in her words.
"You of course, I am your mate, you are supposed to respect me, but instead you flaunt your mistress before the whole Pack? Guard her well because I'll destroy her!" Breanna threatened, surprised at the power that surged from within her.
Alexander was lost for words at the audacity of his mate. No one dared challenge him directly except his step-brother who he hadn't seen for a while.
A fellow Lycan, not a normal wolf. But somehow he felt his wolf swell with pride appreciating his mate.
The aura surrounding her not being just an Alpha female's aura, but it had a hint of Lycan aura? Alexander stood stunned as she made her way out of the room walking out on him.
