Ch. 9

YVONNE

I never felt this anxious in my life. I waited patiently for him to give me his response. “If I find my true mate, you know what that means, right? You guys are just going to have to respect her because she will become the overruled Luna, and there's nothing you can do to change that.” 

He said as I slowly let go of him, walking to his front, my hands folded, a fierce frown on my face. 

“You mean you’re going to push me aside for her? Funny enough, that’s why she doesn’t exist, and that’s why you can’t find her because your greediness is going to show,” I said angrily, walking towards the door as I held onto the handle, about to open it. 

“Yvonne,” he said, as I smiled. Of course, he wouldn’t let me go without an apology. 

“What?” I said, annoyed. 

“Where exactly do you think you’re going without clearing the air? Why do you keep forgetting that I married the four of you because I needed something and none of you gave it to me? If it’s not a miscarriage, it is a fake pregnancy. What do you guys want me to do? If I get to see my fated mate, she gives me an heir. I promise you, you guys won’t have a chance with me. I am not going to pamper you because you were betrothed to me. You were given to me under a price, and you are going to stick to me like a prize.” 

“That you are,” he said, as I squeezed my hands tightly in anger. 

“I wouldn’t stand here and listen to you tell me such gibberish. If the other ladies can take it, I will not take it. I’ve tried my best to provide what you want, but you wouldn’t. You wouldn’t take me. What do you expect me to do? I’ve tried everything. Maybe the problem is from you and not from me,” I said to him angrily before storming off, as he just sat there like he did not feel any remorse. 

I closed the door, and for a few seconds, I stood there trying to calm my nerves down because if I made a move, I could cry at any moment. At this point, I couldn’t hold back my emotions. He was really hurting me, and it pained me to see him act this way towards me. After being sure that I was finally okay, I walked away. 

Despite the gazes the guards were giving me and a few maids, they could tell that I wasn’t in a good mood, and he knows what happens when I am not in a good mood. I went straight to my room, took off my coat, which I was just clad in, and then took it off before walking straight into the bathroom. 

I had already prepared a hot tub bath, and I sat down in it. How much imagination I had had with him thinking of how I would make him finally get intimate with me, and if possible, this time around I might be able to keep the pregnancy, but what he pushed me away, and he is better at keeping a secret, I am sure of it. 

I am going to find whatever secret it is, and I will make sure that their plans do not work, no matter what. I sat down there trying to put the pieces together, trying to understand what he was keeping from me. Why would he even try to keep something from me? What could it possibly be? What could possibly be happening? 

I could see it’s better with a file for the only word I saw was “fi.” Who is “fi”? And from the looks of it, they were eager, anxious. He seemed so anxious, so puzzled, like he was confused. I have never ever encountered Alpha Sergius in that situation. He must be finding something. If not something, someone, and I don’t mind going to any length just to find out who exactly this someone is because he or she would clearly be so important for him to go out of his way just to investigate things personally. 

Then, I think I have to involve the Elders in this. This is the only way I can get the information I need. After making sure I had washed myself thoroughly, I came out and looked around the empty room. No maids. I felt even angrier. I had informed them I needed tea and my herbal treatment as usual. I need to get pregnant. I need to be the first to provide an heir for the Alpha. I need to be the Luna, the ruler over all of them. No matter what, I will make sure my plans work. 

I sat down on the bed, my legs crossed, my body clad in only my lingeries. “Anyone out there?” I shouted continuously before I heard a creak at the door. 

The usual maid stood at the corner. 

“Sarah,” I said, not bothering to look at her. “Where is my herbal tea?” I said angrily. 

“It’s still being prepared,” she said, her voice shivering. 

“Do you really know how angry I am at this point? Get me my fucking herbal tea now. Now!” I shouted angrily, looking at her with a fierce frown as she jumped up from her feet and raced out of the room, leaving me alone with my thoughts. 

No matter what it is, I am going to find out what exactly he is trying to find before he even does. And if it is a woman, and if it ever turns out to be his true mate, she dies before he finds her. That I promised myself. 

Nobody is going to take the place I worked so hard to be in, and the fact that I was betrothed to him; it is going to stay that way. I will make him understand that I am more important to him than anybody he tries to put me below.
