Chapter 6 CHAPTER SIX
CHAPTER SIX
ZARIA’S POV
It was nightfall, and I spent my noon trying to figure out what would bring my worst enemy into my life again.
That asshole finds every way to make my life hell. I slipped into my nightdress which barely touched my knee.
I lay on the bed, thinking of a way to take revenge on him, big I couldn't.
Shit! I jumped off the bed, angry that I couldn't figure out a good revenge plan.
I think speaking to him would be better than being a coward over him.
I walked out of the room and was stopped by the guards, who always stood in front of our room, for security purposes.
“What would your grace want from us?” The one with a scar on his left chin asked, with a slight bow.
“Where is Ma…I mean where is the Alpha?” I asked, I need to sound respectful when talking to the servants about him.
“He is by the pool with Miss Gwen, your new assistant,” he replied and my eyes shot red.
We are barely through a week, and he was already cheating, publicly.
My blood began to boil, and my breathing became rapid, I could barely feel my feet as I walked to the swimming pool.
I have no reason to be angry, I hated him and his guts but the thought of him in the arms of another woman pissed me off, and I could not understand why.
Getting to the swimming pool, I pushed the door open and my eyes caught him stepping out of the pool.
He was all wet and had water dripping off him, his curly hair looked straightened, as they kept falling on his forehead, and he kept shaking them off.
My eyes went down to his well-built shoulders, his chest which had a few scattered hairs, and a tattoo of a fierce wolf, I knew that would be his wolf.
I trailed down to his waist, which was manly and annoyingly adorable. He was wearing black shorts which were wet and clung to his thick thighs, revealing every perfect muscle he flexed as he moved.
I looked up to his face, to admire his hair. Our eyes locked.
Startled, I diverted my gaze to the pool, I hope he dodny notice I was gawking at his perfect body.
“You are fucking drooling,” he scorned, looking at me with disgust.
“I am not, don't get ahead of yourself,” I snapped at him.
“Suit yourself, but next time, don't stare at me like you want to eat me,” He rolled his eyes.
He picked up a white towel from one of the maids and tied it around his perfect waist, and hung another around his neck.
I hated the fact that he looked so perfect, it made my blood boil.
“We need to talk,” I sneered at him.
He walked towards me slowly, until we were a few inches apart, and he bent to my height.
“About our future kids?” he asked in a whisper.
My eyes widened in shock, “What? No,” I replied to his question, with a disgusted face. “I would rather burn in hell ten times over than have kids with you”
“The feeling is mutual Luna,” He rolled his eyes and walked past me.
“You can't pick an assistant for me,” I yelled, trailing behind him.
“Of course I can, and I just did,” He scoffed.
We entered the hallway and everyone stared at the shirtless Alpha. I felt angry that they could stare at his body like that.
The maids tried to keep their heads down, but he was too tempting to ignore.
I turned to my side, and Gwen was grinning beside me.
“Please, I don't want to work with her,” I pleaded, since screaming won't get me what I want.
“Zaria, you are the Luna,” He said, and I loved the way he called my name. “Not the helpless girl that worked for her father as a maid.”
“I know but I stole her position, even if it wasn't intentional,” I said, and he turned to me.
“Fate happened, don't come around looking helpless, You need to act like you own the pack, if you want to be a good Luna for the next year,” He snapped.
Gwen walked up to us with a big smile, I know her too well, that smile is fake.
“What would his grace like me to do?” She asked, with a bow.
Her eyes adorned his shirtless body, and I was certain she had already visualized him naked.
“You don't work for me Gwen, you are my wife’s assistant,” He chuckled and she rolled her eyes.
“But I am your mate and betrothed,” She argued, folding her arms underneath her breast
“I know that Gwen, things happened, now you have to wait a year,” He said and walked away, leaving both of us in the hallway.
“I guess this was always what you wanted,” She scoffed, as tears welled up in her eyes.
This was never my desire, I don't want to be Luna, nor did I have the intention of getting married to Max, and she knows this.
“I am tired of explaining, you can believe whatever you want,” I said and walked past her.
She held me back and spun me around to face her.
“I am here to make sure he doesn't ever see you as attractive, I am here to take my rightful place as the Luna, you stole my title and I am here to have it back,” She growled, still tightening her grip around my wrist.
I have had enough of her excesses these past few years, She doesn't get to threaten me in my home.
In anger, I shoved her off, and she fell to the ground with her mouth open wide in shock.
“I would love to see you try,” I snapped and walked away.
