Chapter 59

He swallowed nervously,

“and so she begged for him to take her. On her knees, in front of all the Alpha’s including the

Chancellor. Said she’d be a good mate… Said she never would’ve gotten with you had she known it

was him.”

My wolf clawed out at me, demanding me of punishing both of them right here, right now. They hid

such an important detail of her “stumbling upon her mate”. Hestia had not only humiliated our pack but

she made it seem as though I forced her into forming a bond with me. Begging Locksworth to accept

her, to boast.

I looked to Hestia who had a scowl on her face at her father’s words. Though her face was full of

contempt, I could feel the lingering fear underneath her skin.

“Have you no shame? You, my Luna, the Luna of the pack. You are carrying my child and the future

Alpha. Does that mean anything to you? You begged on your knees for someone who isn’t your mate?

Do you have anything to say for yourself?

I ask her, digging my nails into my skin as she looked up. Hestia narrowed her eyes at me, her dark

blues against my greens.

“No.”

“No?”

I laughed, stalking toward her in anger. She is a fool if she thinks I’ll let this go. She stepped back, the

tough facade she held cracking as she felt my energy surging forward.

“Tell me why you lied. Why you told everyone, even your father, that Locksworth was your mate.”

Hestia flinched at my Alpha command. Although she held the title of Luna, she wasn’t born to be one.

She didn’t have the power to resist my command over her. So reluctantly, she answered.

“T To get away from you. If I had him, no one would dare challenge me. No one would even think of

objecting our separation if he was my mate. He’d take care of me for the rest of my life. I wanted to get

away from all this responsibility.”

She hissed out.

“I had enough! I don’t want this baby! I don’t want the dam ned Luna title! It’s too much work! I never

asked for this, Landon! I never asked for all this extra baggage that came with being with you! Ever

since you found out Selene was your mate, you acted different. You aren’t as focused on me anymore.

You’d always get this far away look on your face!”

She huffed out, eyes wild with frustration. They turned glassy as she stared at me with sadness.

“But don’t you dare act so just. Ever since Selene came back, all you’ve ever been thinking about was

her’ Too bad she doesn’t want you, huh? There’d be no way she ever would, not when you abandoned

her’ You rejected her for me, Landon. Own up to it.”

She spat. I felt a sharp sting pierce into my chest from her words. She was right. I know she was. In

anger. I balled my fists, feeling unorthodox hatred fill me as I stared at the woman in front of me.

You ignored her calls that day of the attack like all of us. You wanted her to die. You did, don’t you dare

lie I only wanted her out of the picture because she threatened my future with you. You wanted her

gone because you felt yourself being torn apart.

You knew perfectly well what was happening to her, but you chose to do nothing. You wanted her gone

just like all of us. You wanted the easy way out.”

She laughed humorlessly as she rubbed her face with vigor,

“No, you wanted her gone more than any of us. Too f ucking bad she lived. And now that she shows up

back from the dead, you act like some loved up pup. Admit it, you were glad that I found my ‘mate’ the

moment you saw her again. You were glad because you knew that meeting we had today would be

your chance to start over with her.

You didnt even protest when we came up with the idea. You didn’t mind getting with her in exchange

with me getting Locksworth. You were practically jumping at the thought, regardless of who my mate

was, that you could get me off your hands. You knew if I had my mate, I could go with him and you

could go with her. That there wouldn’t be any loose ties.”

I grit down on my teeth.

Again, she was right.

I did want Selene dead.

I wanted her dead because of what she made me feel.

What the bond made me feel.

But then she came back. The initial betrayal I felt when Hestia found her mate instantly disappeared.

I was glad Hestia found her ‘mate’ because that meant a chance for me.

It meant I could ease my way back into Selene’s life.

She would definitely give me the chance. She may be stubborn now, but I know she wants a mate. And

I’m the only mate she has.

She would still want me no matter the past.

“You’re right. I won’t deny that. But how dare you say you didn’t know what ‘baggage’ would come from

being with me. I told you the moment we started seeing each other, I was an Alpha first. Not a lover.

And what? Did you really think a pretty face and sweet words would be enough to make Locksworth

accept you? Did you think he’d take you in, allow you to claim him as yours falsely and leave it at that?

That he wouldn’t bring you to the Scared Pool to prove to everyone the liar you are? That he’d take you

in as his mate, when you aren’t?”
