Chapter 6
DAVINA’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 phone rang and Levy's name showed on the screen.I swiped the green button and placed it above my ear. "Levy. How are you?" I breathed out."Vina! Are you alright, my phone died so I couldn't call earlier, I miss you so much, how are you? I hope they aren't doing anything wrong to you." Levy rushed her words, not even replying to my question, I chuckled inwardly. At least I still had someone who loved me."I am fine Levy, what about you? I am so glad you got home safe.""I am glad to hear that cheerfulness in your voice.""It's all thanks to you, thank you so much for calling Levy, I am grateful.""It's okay Vina, I'm happy you are happy, I wish not to ruin your mood but I thought you need to know that Kate and Ryan are throwing a party to celebrate your departure," Levy informed but I didn't react, I had no ounce of care towards those people anymore and whatever they did, could no longer bother me.Juanita walked in and met me on the phone, she stood waiting for me to finish the call so I did just that."I have to go now Levy, I will call you tomorrow, stay away from my ex-family and be careful, I love you. Bye. I hung up and beckoned for Juanita to go ahead with what she had in mind."It's time for dinner ma'am, please come with me. I will take you there." I sigh, dropping my phone on the bed."Okay." We walked out of my new room and headed for the elevator, I noticed the stairs at the end.The elevator opened and I found myself on another floor. This part was the dining room. It was too large and fingers crossed that all the pack members could fit in there, they made the hall a dining area. It's what I would call; Mother fucking wealth.Juanita directed me to the 24-seater table, it already had two occupants."Alpha Tristan , Beta Javier." Juanita's neck bowed but I wasn't paying attention to what was happening.My heart skipped a beat when my eyes locked with his, I felt sparks and an electric feeling washing through my body. He looked drop-dead handsome, his Green eyes to his long lashes, his black soft looking hair, smooth white skin, and red lip. Oh moon Goddess this has got to be a joke.Juanita nudged me with her foot and I turned to see her staring at me, no not just her but the Alpha and his Beta.I stared back at her and she mouthed a 'Bow', I turned back to them and bowed cursing inwardly, way–to–go on my first impression.Juanita drew out a chair for me and gestured for me to sit down. "Thank you." I sat down lowering my head, too embarrassed to stare at anyone.Juanita left and two women appeared from nowhere, they dished out the meals and also left.Garnished chicken breast, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, and cream pie for dessert, my glass filled with orange juice, my stomach growled loud enough to have my cheeks flushed in embarrassment.But right now my mouth watered and eating was the next line of action.Three minutes into my meal I heard the worst." Please take it easy on your plate, it gets hard to breathe while eating that fast, the food's not running away."I stared up and came in contact with Grey's eyes staring back at me, they held concern but his words were embarrassing.I haven't seen these men, but right now I noticed they had a striking resemblance, but the eyes were different.Tristan had Green eyes, while Javier was Grey. " I am sorry." I apologized and ate slowly this time.Javier leared his throat, dropping his spoon, guess he was already filled, he took a napkin and wiped his mouth clean."Alpha Valerian of the Blood Sky pack called, he's ready to sell the lands, but he asked for a few days to inform his council. What do you think?" Javier asked, I was surprised he would talk about that in my presence, but I remembered I am the future Luna, this serves as an acknowledgment."24 hours is all he has, any further delay would mean war, I won't hesitate to wipe out every member of his pack from the surface of the earth,"Tristan replied, his words sending chills down my spine.That was a ruthless thing to say, and it made me super uncomfortable.I lost my appetite and slowly got up, bowed, and left hurriedly. Juanita was nowhere to be found, but thank the Moon Goddess I knew the number of my floor.I used the elevator and got back to my room, I bolted my door, and slumped on my bed, exhausted and filled with delicious meals, my dessert flashed into my memory and I smacked my head in regret, I missed out on the lovely-looking pie.I wonder if Juanita is aware that I am in my room right now. The door opened and I thought it would be Juanita but it wasn't."Alpha Tistan!" I got up and bowed, my eyes shining brightly and my heart racing.I raised my head and caught him staring intently at me, is he having the same feelings as me?The admiration in his eyes suddenly snapped and changed to that of anger." You are the future Luna of Golden Stone pack, get that into your empty skull and try working on your silly character." I was taken aback by his words, I didn't expect such strictness."Yes, Alpha Tristan." I reluctantly replied, staring at my fingers.He closed the distance between us and grabbed my chin in a tight grip, and it foolishly gave me sparks." Look at me when I am talking to you. I own you Davina, you are mine and mine alone, you are here to please me and labor for my pack, and I would do as I wish with you. Remember this Davina, you mean nothing to me, being Golden Stone's Luna is your priority and nothing else, am I clear?" His grip loosened around my chin and I backed away in fright, more shocked and scared of the man standing in front of meTears welled up in my eyes as I nodded afraid he would get upset."Speak.""Yes, Alpha Tristan." I couldn't hold back the tears, they broke free and fell on my cheeks."And no one should ever find out that you are my mate, absolutely no one." He growled, I backed further away from him nodding my head in approval.With no apology whatsoever, he left the room slamming the door shut.I palmed my mouth muffling my sobs, my chin hurt but it wasn't compared to my heart, my mate indirectly rejected and forced me into a life of commitment all for his pack, how cruel can he be?I was right, the worst was yet to happen, and now I was super scared for my future.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,
Chapter 14TRISTAN’S POVFor Seconds, I stood and watched how happy Tammy was with her, her smile was contagious, she went into hiding and the search went ongoing. I got lost staring at them but Grey snapped me back to reality.“Still want to consider our mate again?” He asked, feeling curious about what my response would be. “No, she's only going to be the Luna of Golden Stone pack—“Still ignoring that inner flame and you know I can feel your pain and happiness. We are one, there's nothing you can hide, and from what I feel anytime you see Davina is different, I won't call it love but I feel you want to consider her, get to know her, grow a bond—“What bond? I'm not growing any bond with anyone, I'm not sure I can be open the way I was in the past.” I responded truthfully. The fear of getting betrayed is eating me up and I don't want to grow through that pain again. “It's been a long you smiled genuinely at a lady, and you just did with our mate. Consider Davina, Tristan. Lexie sa
