Chương 11: _Everything Is Going To Shit
When I got to the maid's suite, the first thing I noticed was her scent.
I could pick up the scent of her pheromones, acting as a beacon to my wolf.
What the heck?
She was in heat all this time?
Trying to keep myself composed, I revealed the terms of my deal with her but to my surprise, she didn't seem to hesitate with accepting it.
"What makes you think I wanted you in the first place?" She scoffed, rolling her eyes.
Huh... That was unexpected.
I expected a lowly maid like herself to be nothing more than an opportunist, vying for the power and money that came with being my mate and Luna.
My ego was hurt and I needed to pour it out somehow. So, I taunted her, insinuating that she was a lowly gold digger.
It seemed that struck a nerve as she did the impossible.
She slapped me!
A lowly maid dared to slap ME?!
I held my face in shock, caressing the spot she'd slapped speechlessly.
Gritting my teeth, I turned my gaze to the girl—Phoebe and saw the regret in her eyes.
But behind that regret was a clear defiance... Toward me!
'Fascinating.' I thought to myself, feeling weirdly turned on by the situation.
For a long time, I'd always turned down any serious relationships with women. They were all either after my money or my power anyway and I definitely didn't have any interest in getting my heart or reputation broken by one.
But this servant girl did something that no one had ever done in my twenty-seven years of existence.
You know what... Maybe I'd been too hasty with my decision to chase her out of the mansion.
'I must bed this girl.' I promised myself, already feeling something awakening in me.
But first, I had to give her a taste of the famed Maverick's lips.
I kissed her, sucking on her lips which tasted like fruity, and also took in her scent, which was musky thanks to her pheromones.
However, I pulled away before things could get too heated and proceeded to leave her after telling her the change in my deal.
She should be glad I was even willing to give in to the idea of making her my Luna. Soon, I'll have her in my bed and fuck her mercilessly.
.
.
As I walked through the hallways of the mansion, I grinned to myself as I remembered everything that had happened between Phoebe and me.
The girl was feisty, I'd give her that.
And if there was one thing I loved, it was women who stood up to me.
"What has made our Alpha so bubbly?" A familiar voice chimed in from a corner when I got to my office, prompting me to raise my head only to meet my best friend and right-hand man, Beta Negan, standing at the entrance.
He had a smile on his face as he walked in, sitting on the chair across my table.
I rolled my eyes, folding my arms in front of my chest. "There's nothing to smile about, Negan. Everything is going to shit."
Negan leaned back in his chair, scrutinizing me closely. "Going to shit simply because your mate turned out to be a maid?"
Argh! I knew he wouldn't get it.
"She's not just my mate, Negan." I drew my words, dimming my eyes at my friend. "She's also supposed to be the Moon's Chosen. That makes things way more complicated."
Negan remained silent, though he still kept his gaze on me as I sighed, rubbing my forehead.
Even till now, I was conflicted between sticking with my rejection or proceeding with my plan to fuck Phoebe until she begs for more.
Darn it!
'Calm yourself, Kaene.' I chastised myself mentally, already feeling an awkward erection underneath my pants.
Just then, Negan made an observation. "You're intrigued by Phoebe, aren't you?"
What in the world was this joker talking about?
I snorted, feigning indifference. "She's just a stubborn maid, Negan. Nothing more."
Negan chuckled. "Don't lie, Kaene. I'm not blind. I can see the look on your face even now that we're talking about her. You're captivated."
I rolled my eyes. "You're reading too much into it, Negan. I'm just annoyed she dared defy me by standing against my mother in front of all those people." I insisted, masking the genuine fascination I felt.
Alas, it seemed I couldn't hide my feelings from my best friend after all.
"Standing up against your mother?" Negan scoffed. "No offense to former Luna Catherine, but she was out of line with that slap. Besides, Phoebe didn't even say anything insulting to her."
I arched an eyebrow, eyeing Negan curiously. "Why do you seem so defensive of this… Servant girl, Negan? Are you perhaps 'fascinated' by her too?"
The jealousy I felt springing up inside me was definitely from my wolf. I would never suspect Negan of doing such, especially with a maid!
Suddenly, Negan burst into laughter, trying hard to cover his mouth with the back of his hand. "Pardon me, Kaene. But really? I'm simply being humane; I don't have any interest in the girl."
Even though I knew he was right and would never betray me like that, I still harbored this weird feeling of possessiveness toward Phoebe.
By the moon goddess, I would go insane at this point!
Just then, a knock interrupted us.
Who could be disturbing me by this time of the night?
"Come in!" I barked.
My assistant, a pretty she-wolf named Lyra, stepped in. "Alpha, sorry to interrupt, but Elder Gita wishes to see you."
My brows creased into a frown just then as I turned my gaze to Negan.
He shrugged cluelessly, standing up with a cough. "I think I need to take my leave now."
I glared at him as he walked away from me like we hadn't been having a light-hearted conversation seconds ago.
Traitor!
"Usher the Elder in, Lyra." I waved at my assistant with a sigh as I watched Negan open the door about to step out.
However, Elder Gita stepped in just then without bothering to knock or greet the Beta, her gaze fixed on me.
"We need to talk, Alpha." She blurted, glancing at my assistant.
She shrunk shyly, bowing her head and walking out of the office behind Negan.
When they closed the door behind them, I turned my gaze to the pack's spiritual leader.
"What is it, Gita?" I tried to sound polite even though I was wary of what the older woman could have to say after everything that happened tonight.
Meanwhile, she didn't bother sitting down, her tone and expression somber. "I'm here to discuss the pack's future, Alpha. And your safety as well."
What the heck?
