Chapter 67
*LUNA*
It took a while for me to processed what just happened to me, the blood tickling down my neck was enough to tell me I hadn't imagined what happened here a few minutes ago, I glance in the councils direction as they stood up, some where glaring at me while the others were gaping at Kayden in disbelief.
Why would he do something like that? Didn't he realize that the action he takes won't only affect him but the entire pack? I couldn't wrapped my head around what was going on. When he grabbed me by the arm, I flinched expecting the worse but he only pulled me in front of me coursing me to relax.
"Now I have a questions for you all" He stated breaking the silence. "Should a Luna be punished for the death of a mistress? I want you all to answer me right now" He growled at them.
"What have you done?" The others were too scared to say a word but this particular one doesn't seem to want to back down. If looks could kill, I'd be death on the spot.
"I have made my choice. If it doesn't appeal to you, you can call me out on that" He challenged them but no one spoke up, no doubt that by the time I leave this court room words would have already spread about me being the Luna.
Still in a little shock, I wondered how I could go from being a slave to being a mistress and to being a freaking Luna of not just any pack but the Red moon pack. In as exciting as that might be for the others it wasn't for me. Although it had been done to save my life and for that I would be grateful but it still wasn't the freedom I crave or wanted. I blinked back the tears in my eyes as all the council members begin to leave the room murmuring among themselves.
"Why did you do that!" I cried ignoring the way the guards raised her eyebrows at me. Probably thinking they just made her a Luna and she started it off by wanting to be rejected. Maybe that was just what I thought, the bite still stung a reminder that I was bound to Alpha Kayden forever, the same man I had made a deal with the councils to kill.
He chuckled at my words. "You couldn't wait to get that out could you? My ever so feisty Luna" He remarked grabbing me by the hair, he brought me closer to his body and glared at me. "Whatever you have to say, will wait until we are alone but now be a good little girl and follow me out as I make the announcement"
"What announcement? We have to talk about this now" I cried as he began to drag me outside with me.
He stopped abruptly. "Any other woman would be thrilled to be my Luna but you? You are acting like it's the most dreadful thing that has ever happened to you. That is why I like you Luna, you know me well" Before I could even think about what he meant by his last statement. When he started to pull me with him again, I didn't protest, I willingly followed him out.
Rebekah eyes immediately went to my neck as she spot me, it was then I remember Scarlet, I wondered what her own mate might be. Since I wasn't sure if she killed Sophia or not I didn't think she should die. I'll find a way to get her out of it before the generous mood Alpha Kayden happens to be in disappeared.
"Meet your Luna Red Moon Pack, I want words to be carried out that I have taken a Luna" He announced and to my surprise cheers ranged out among the crowd, I couldn't tell if it was fake or real and definitely didn't have time to wonder as Kayden started to walk back into the palace and I had no choice but to follow him once more.
I wished I could stayed back and have a word with Rebekah. I almost jumped out of my skin when the door shut behind us. As Kayden begin to take off his clothes, I searched for something to say. "You said we will talk about what happened once we are alone, why did you do that? Even if you believed I did not kill Sophie marking me is not the right way to relieve me off my punishment and why would you relieve me of my punishment?" I demanded looking away from his naked chest. "Will you stop undressing please" I pleaded.
"Why? You find it distracting?" He asked and I shook my head no. "You have so much question" He said slowly. "One thing I know the answer to his the fact that I know you did not kill...." He paused trying to recall Sophia's name, I don't know why the fact that he didn't remember her name made me so happy. Maybe because it proved that she meant nothing to him. I didn't say anything, I don't want him remembering her or her name ever again. I blamed the mate bond! We haven't even been mated for an hour and I was sounding so possessive and cheesy!.
"I know you did not kill my former mistress" He finally responded after giving up on the fact that he cannot remember her name. "You are too weak of an omega to even try and kill a fellow omega. Your wolf should be trying to heal the bite by now but it was still fresh like I just bite you again" I couldn't tell if he was insulting me or not.
But it sure felt like it, the fact that he saw me as a weak Omega. Just like everyone saw me, since I was more weaker than an omega, it was easier for them to pick on me, they saw me as a prey who could blame them? I brought it on myself. I still want my freedom and being shackled to him was not the kind of freedom I wanted.
"Reject me" I said looking at me. "If you don't then I will....." The rest of my words died down my throat as his hand closed around my throat squeezing hard.
I knew I had pushed him to far, glaring at me. He snarled in my face. "You seem to be forgetting your place, I made you my Luna does not mean I fancy you more than the next man, I could easily reject you and have you killed. That is how much of nothing you mean to me. Don't push me!" He growled letting go on me.
I choked, coughing as I tried to catch my breath. I have never been more confused in my entire life, one second he's saying I mean nothing to him and the next breath he was about to kill me because I suggested that he reject me. What the bloody hell was going on?
