Chapter 30 Chapter 30) Jealousy.
‘That is never going to happen’. Demira thought, as she felt disgusted after imagining herself giving birth to pups for Alejandro.
In her opinion, he did not deserve to be a father, and was better off if he died alone without a proper place to be buried.
She wanted to tell the Omega maidservants never to mention such a thing again, but hunger said otherwise.
Due to that, she chose to ignore them just this once, and went ahead to sit down on the sofa which was closer to the table.
She reached out and grabbed the plate of meat on the table.
‘At least, they have decency and conscience about what they feed me’. She thought to herself and took a bite out of the meat using a fork.
Behind the scene, the Omega maidservants could only watch, while in truth, they were salivating over the food and wished that they could have some.
Though, the expressions on their faces remained the same. Calm, but enough to make them look polite.
After having the fifth bite out of the meat, Demira stopped eating because she heard the door to the bedroom open.
She stared in the direction of the door, already expecting the person to be Felicia, but she was wrong. The person did not turn out to be Felicia, but a young lady who looked very much around her age.
She had black hair, and wore a red revealing gown which hugged her body tightly, thus exposing her curves, especially her tiny waist and her breath.
The heels she was wearing made ‘Tip tap’ sounds and only stopped after she stood in front of the table.
Technically in front of Demira.
“What's this?”. Demira muttered with a frown on her face, because she hated the air which surrounded the lady. The look on the lady's face was cocky, and she was carrying herself up like a mighty person.
She hated these kinds of people.
“Who are you?”. She asked the lady and furrowed her eyebrows, before she returned the plate of meat on the table, as she had lost her appetite.
“So, you are the one he is getting married to?”. The lady said with a scoff, before her hand sluggishly made its way to cover her mouth as she chuckled.
‘I can't believe he's getting married to this bitch! I have been trying to make him notice me for a while, but he never did! I blame you, father, for not helping me out!’.
‘You are a well respected elder of the moonlight pack, and you used to be the Beta werewolf of the late Lycan King!’.
‘In that case, you ought to be close to Alejandro, and should have mentioned me to him. You ought to have pressured him to get married to me, not some riff raff from who knows where!’.
‘I am the treasure and the pride of the moonlight pack. So who else deserves to become Luna of the pack if not me and only me?!’. She thought to herself as she kept on chuckling, but masked her pain in her heart.
If she could right now, she would have stabbed Demira to death.
First, Tessie stole her place by becoming Alejandro's true mate. Because of that, she had always wished and hoped for her to die.
She thought everything was going to go her way after Tessie ran away.
She thought that, at last, Alejandro was going to give her the attention she deserved and get married to her, so that she could give birth to strong Lycan pups for him.
Unfortunately, to no avail.
He became like a void she could never reach. And just when she thought she didn't have a competition anymore after she heard about Tessie's death, another lady (Demira) was mentioned to her.
What could be worse and more painful than that?!
Meanwhile, the frown on Demira's face deepened. “What’s your deal?”. She asked and rose up from the sofa she was sitting on.
If it wasn't because she did not want to keep on raising Alejandro's suspicion, she was ready to throw the first punch at the lady's face.
But because she did not want too much attention to herself, she had to control herself. She had to control her urge.
“I am Kira”. Kira said to Demira, and extended her hand for a handshake.
But, Demira simply looked at her hand with a straight look on her face and did not bother to accept the handshake.
“I was not asking for your name, young lady. I want to know your identity. I want to know what gives you the right to enter my bedroom”. She demanded.
‘Huh. What a bitch. Even when I tried to be nice to her, she had the audacity to say these words to me’. Kira gritted her teeth as she thought to herself.
Afterward, she forced a smile on her face and said, “My father is Elder Edward”.
“He used to be the Beta werewolf of the previous Lycan King, and of this moonlight pack. So, as his daughter, I am privileged to enter the Lycan King's mansion as I see fit”.
She explained and felt proud of herself.
But, Demira did not give a damn. Neither was she intimidated after hearing what she said. “Is that all?”. She asked with a blank look on her face, taking her aback.
A drop of sweat formed on Kira’s temple. “Wh- what do you mean by that? Don't you know who my father is?”.
“Everyone respects him! And you ought to give me the same respect as his daughter”. She declared, but the blank look on Demira's face did not change.
Neither was she touched nor moved.
“If you are done talking, leave my bedroom, or else, I will have to do it myself”. She said, and for once, Kira developed fear because the air in the room had shifted, with Demira looking terrifying.
The moment Demira started walking towards her, she did not know the reason why, but her legs moved, and caused her to retreat backward. Step after step.
“What- what are you trying to do?”. She asked, and her voice cracked.
‘Wait. Am I scared of her, right now?’. Her brows furrowed as she thought.
And honestly, she was stunned, because the only person who had been able to make her feel that way was no other than Alejandro himself, after she tried to approach him and make him fall for her.
