Chapter 5
DAVINA’S POVThis can't be, he can't be my mate. I have dreamed and fantasized a lot about my fated mate when I turned 18, but here I was staring at a half-naked man with a naked woman underneath him in shameless intimacy and he is my said mate.My shoulders sagged, tears burned my eyes and blurred my vision. The sight of my mate with another woman haunted me. It was like a knife had been driven into my heart. I did my best to stay strong, cause right there, I wanted to crawl into a quiet corner and cry my eyes out.But Instead, I held the doorknob and closed the door. After all, I interrupted their play time, might as well give them some privacy."Ma'am!" Another young woman with beautiful blond hair came to where I stood.I said nothing in return, I watched as she smiled at me, but I didn't react to her kind gesture."Please come with me, let's get you settled in another room." She walked further down the hallway, and I reluctantly followed her.There was another door and I hoped no one was sexing in there. The woman opened the door and led me in.I was too hurt to admire any further, I suddenly felt hate towards this place, the Alpha and the bitch he was screwing."Ma'am I am Juanita and I will be assisting you in the meantime, if you need anything, I am a bell away." She pointed to the wall where a switch circuit was, I presumed a room bell."Thanks!" I said and muted my mind from the real world, I needed to talk to Lexie and seek a better explanation for what had just happened."I know you are angry, but look on the bright side, we have a mate now, not just any mate but the Alpha of Golden Stone," Lexie said like she had been practicing that to cheer me up."And this same mate was screwing an almost unconscious woman in his bedroom, I would have gladly had a pauper as a mate than him." I spat out, clenching and unclenching my fist."I apologize for what our mate did, but I can bet it would never repeat itself." I shook my head annoyed that Lexie was taking everything so lightly."Why are you apologizing for that manwhore, you are acting like you didn't feel the pain, you ought to be as furious as I am, why do you sound so calm.""Let's be excited that we found our mate, Davina. You should be happy, 'cause I am." She was right, she wasn't lying when she said she was happy, I could feel it through the bond, her excitement was nothing to write home about.I didn't reply and she used that as a means to move to the back of my mind so I could think things through.From losing my freedom to finding my mate in bed with another woman, my fate couldn't get any worse, but somehow I felt the worst was yet to come.Lexie is happy and unbothered, she's so strong and brave to have ignored the bad things and focused on the good ones, why can't I do the same, I can't fall weak, now is the time to brace myself up and never show any sign of weakness.FEW HOURS LATERA knock on the door disrupted my sleep, I opened my eyes and stared out the window it had darkened out. I left my bed and opened the door for whoever knocked on it.It was Juanita or something, I can't remember her name, she had a couple of bags in her hands and behind her were two other ladies also holding bags.I let them in and watched as the other two ladies went straight to the large oak wardrobe that I didn't notice was there.The bags they had brought contained clothes, all sorts of brand clothes, and it was being arranged in the wardrobe. Juanita supervised them for a while and then came to me."Ma'am! Please change into this: the closet is around the corner, I shall prepare your bath in the meantime." She said, placing a blue fluffy robe in my hand.Okay now I was super confused, the weird treatment I had been receiving since I got here had me thinking. What exactly was I here for?I left with the robe in my hands and found the closet Juanita talked about. I took off my old clothes and changed Into the robe. I came out and met Juanita at the door waiting for me. The other maids were gone."Your bath is ready ma'am, freshen up and change into that dress." She pointed to a red dress laying on the bed. " I will send in the stylist to make your hair." She gave a neck bow and turned to leave but I stopped her."Stop calling me ma'am please, my name is Davina, and what is going on, why this much preparation, is something happening?" I asked desperate for an answer."Sorry ma'am, but I cannot call the future Luna by her name and nothing is happening other than dinner with the Alpha and his Beta," Juanita said and bowed again, this time taking her leave."Future Luna." I gasped in fright, there had to be some mishap, they must be mistaken, I am oblivious to the first thing about being a Luna, and not just any Luna, but the Luna of Golden Stone pack, this has to be a dream, I need to wake up.Chapter 6DAVINA’S POV"Future Luna." I gasped in fright, there had to be some mishap, they must be mistaken, I am oblivious to the first thing about being a Luna, and not just any Luna, but the Luna of Golden Stone pack, this has to be a dream, I need to wake up."It's not a dream Davina, you are indeed a Luna, and worry less, you are more than fit to be a Luna." That was all Lexie said.I had my bath in the jacuzzi mixed with warm water, Lavender bobble soap, and vanilla milk extract, extravagant. I rinsed my body and stepped out in my robe.I wore the dress Juanita picked out for me, it was a red maxi dress, fitted perfectly.I wore the fluffy slippers kept by the side and sat on the makeup table, waiting for the stylist to arrive.She did five minutes later and styled my hair in a ponytail. It was neat and beautiful, but I could have done it myself if they had given me the chance.The stylist left and I was left alone, I held my phone close waiting for Levy's call. Telepathy. My p
DAVINA’S POVONE WEEK LATERJuanita, Cassy, Benedict, and Carla, were buzzing around in my room like busy bees. Juanita kept ordering them around strictly, I wanted to help but she blatantly refused.They had been ordered by Tristan to deck me up, the order came from the alpha and nothing could change that."Cassy! My Goodness! Why is Davina's foot still bare, get the heels already." Juanita yelled at the cute looking made, my friend to be precise."Benedict, where are the hairpins I asked for 20 minutes ago…""Carla please don't get me started, we can't spend eternity on Davina makeup."Juanita kept ranting endlessly, the ladies groaned, going about their duties, and I laughed, finding it cute.Juanita and Cassy were officially assigned to me three days after my arrival while Benedict and Carla were one of the most cheerful ladies I have ever met, they took away my sorrows and became my friends. They had come up to clean my room when they suddenly engrossed me in their conversation li
TRISTAN’S POVTHREE HOURS LATER"Davina did great, I didn't expect her to approach the pack so well, I am impressed with my choice., " Javier said, rolling around in his seat as usual."Yeah me either, she was good but you know that's not where it stops, we have to train her to become a qualified Luna," I replied, signing off some documents. My mind wandered to how Davina looked so breathtaking in her Gold dress, I loved her courtesy and willfulness, something I have not seen in a woman for a long time."Our mate is perfect, why don't you just accept her already," Grey growled in my head but I ignored him. That's all he keeps talking about. Our mate, I can't believe he would think of a woman or urge me to accept one after what happened in the past. Never."Tristan, are you seriously working at your Luna's coronation party? The party has already started. Let's join the others. I heard we have a lot of guests we could transact with."Go without me, and make the transactions, I need to
TRISTAN’S POVTHE NEXT DAY"Go ahead and knock, we need to see how our mate is fairing," Grey whined in my head nonstop.He was eager to see Davina again after what happened last night, we were both drawn to our hurting mate.I crazily spent half the night in her arms, she didn't notice though, I was really careful not to raise an alarm, thanks to Grey all he wanted was to be super close to her. He made my life a living hell until I accepted and sneaked into her room for 4 hours straight. It was hard leaving her all by herself but I had to do it. It would be better if she noticed my scent rather than find me wrapping my hands around her.My fist paused halfway, not touching her door, I couldn't do it, I lacked the confidence."Some other time Grey, there's a lot of work to do." I reversed and left for the elevator."You wasted the opportunity Tristan, if she means nothing to you, let it be clear that she means a lot to me. Stop hurting our mate." Grey howled angered by my actions."Q
DAVINA’S POVTHE NEXT DAYI woke up to an empty bed, I would have thought it was all my imagination if his scent didn't stick around.Juanita and Cassy came in and I got my day started. Juanita apologized for last night but I held no grudge, Tristan was the one person I had a problem with.I chose to explore the pack today and get my mind off everything and Tristan.It occurred to me that I had never been to the pack's kitchen before, back in my house, Kate made me do all the chores, and that included cooking.Meals made by the chefs were nice, but I wanted to make something for myself this particular morning, and endeavor to live my life. I own my life, not some silly assed crazy Alpha.I took a few directions to the kitchen and met the busiest place I had ever seen.Several chefs, not even cooks, moved about and created wonders with their skilled hands. There were all females with only one male and he looked the busiest. It was like there was a warrior in the kitchen.I made my pres
TRISTAN’S POVMy office door swings open, leaving me curious about who has that lackadaisical behavior in Golden Stone Pack. And here comes my replica. “Here Daddy.” She walked in and placed a document in front of me. “What's this Tammy?” I asked picking up the file, still not taking my eyes off her. “I think we need an agreement on the contract— What agreement?” I cut in, slowly dropping the file. “Agreement that you won't be busy when it comes to me. The agreement is that you will have my time and anyone who breaches will have to pay a fine— I chuckled. Still don't know what my life would have been without her in it. Her birth still seems fresh and it's not ready to fade anytime soon. “Daddy!” Her tiny but strict voice pulled me away from my thoughts. “Oh, Tammy darling.” I cleared my throat, beckoning her to come close. “We don't need this contract my baby— You don't need the contract because I know you won't make time for those moments!” She cut in, looking damn serious.
Chapter 12DAVINA’S POVLexie squealed in my head like a little kid who just got the chance to have a bite of her favorite cookie. I chuckled at her silent whims. “What should we do with Cadence?” She asked and I sighed as I walked back to pack. “I don't know Lexie, she's Tristan fuck mate… We met her here and she's addressed as a lady in the pack— She's not regarding you as the Luna of Golden Stone pack.” She cut in. “And I will make her to! Since the Alpha isn't ready to put his slut in place.” She giggled “Loved how you used your Luna authority on her, She should think highly of us.” Lexie growled and I agreed with her. I feel disrespected and angry, She keeps getting on my nerves and I won't take any slight incivility from her. “Lexie,” I called and she whims in response. “Why is the Alpha always in my room every night and acts differently when it's morning?” “We are his mate, He can't deny that forever and we are close to him, so to win him and change his mind will be easy
DAVINA'S POV“Okay, Can I trust you?” she asked and I didn't hesitate before nodding. “My nanny used to bully me.” “What?!” I was perplexed for seconds. “She used to beat me, forcefully push me down the stairs, she made me scared of the dark… it's scary.” She explained amidst tears in her eyes. I stared at her as she let down her tears. I opened my arms for her and she crawled into my arms. My heart shattered at how those moments would have been for her, at a young age and she's getting traumatized already. I was maltreated by my stepmother and my stepbrother, all thanks to Lexie who saved me at that moment I was about to get raped. I looked around the garden, and at that moment I realized how beautiful it was. A part of me feels I should tell and rant out in front of Tristan, and I don't know how to go about it. “Lexie, Lexie, Lexie!” I called and I got no response. Gosh, where is she? I need her on this, I can't do this alone. “Get closer to her Davina, build a bond with her,
