Chapter Three: Denial

Thelma’s POV

I tried to be neutral and act as though I just got here but it was not possible as to why I broke the vase.

My hands were getting sweaty and I knew I was nervous, it can be seen through me easily which would break my lies.

Just when I was confused on what to do, a pair of hands pulled me away leading to another room which I have no idea existed.

The wall closed on us leading to an underground, I looked up to see who it was and was met with a pair of blue eyes, cold yet enchanting and seductive.

His hair black but with a small red tint fell a bit on his face, his jawline drawn with his pink plump lips making him sexy.

“Have you seen enough?” He asked, I cleared my throat pulling away from him feeling awkward. I had no idea who he was yet I was lost staring at him.

“Thanks.” My voice came out inaudible, I can’t believe I was lost staring at his eyes. He walked towards another side, with me walking behind.

He didn’t say anything instead kept walking towards a direction, soon we got out, I realized the secret passageway lead outside the pack to the training ground.

He turned to face me, that was when I saw him clearly, Xavier.

Yvonne fiance that was ambushed in the past life, he was said to be her mate but I knew there were more to it now.

He was ambushed and overpowered when he went to save Neon in the past life, since tomorrow tonight was the night I’ll be announced as the Luna to be.

Tonight is the night Yvonne will find out he was her mate, she came to meet me for help to cover up her scent which was weird because anyone will be happy to have found their mate.

He pocketed his hands into his trouser, “You should be more careful eavesdropping on people, you don’t get to be saved everytime.”

His words left me tongue struck, saved everytime? Has he saved me before? Could it be? No, it can’t be, not possible.

Just as he was about to leave, I held his hand, “You should be careful also, someone is targeting you and you might get ambushed tonight.”

Before he could say anything, Neon arrived cutting our conversation short, “Thelma.” He called out, I forced out a smile as I stared at him.

He glared at Xavier gently before he pulled me to his side walking away from him, I glanced back to see Xavier still staring at me.

“What do you think you are doing.” I removed my hands from his ad I glared at him, the anger built up inside me was hard to surpress.

As I remembered how he had attacked me and brutally watched me dying without helping, just because he wanted to be with Yvonne.

He changed his expression quickly, “You know I don’t like seeing you with other guys, I just want to have you alone to myself.”

Says the guy who was busy cheating on me with my so called sister, “Seeing me with someone doesn’t mean I am flirting with them, it can be something else.”

Noticed his facial expression changed, I cleared my throat, “It’ll be soon that I’ll be announced as your fiancé, if I didn’t care about you, do you think I’ll talk to dad to make you my fiancé.”

He believes what I said, he didn’t push further anymore and changed the topic, “So have you seen Yvnnoe?” He asked.

I knew he wouldn’t come to look for me just for nothing, it was weird how he came to meet me when I was the one tagged as always looking for him.

I rolled my eyes, “No idea! I guess she should be around the pack, look for her and you’ll find her.” Without waiting for a response, I hissed moving forward to the chair not far from him as he followed behind.

He sensed I might be angry and quickly changed his expression, he helped me sat on the chair kneeling in front of me.

His fake smile plastered on his lips, “Of course not. I’m just worried about you, Xavier is dubious and act secretively, no one knows much about him, I just didn’t want him to harm you.”

The real secretive person here is you, you are the one who wanted to harm me, I scoffed slightly, my arms folded under my firm breast.

“Whatever you say, you just don’t get to drag me all the way from the training ground to my room.” He nodded slowly.

I let out a small smile, by now, he should be gone, he stared deep into me, coming closer to kiss me but I pushed him away.

He was shocked, yes, I always wanted this but he told me until he get announced as my royal alpha, it was good at first but not anymore.

“You said until you get pronounced as my royal alpha, just one night.” I said sharply, he smiled and nodded standing up.

He pecked my forehead, “Yes, I totally forgot, I can’t wait for you to be mine already.” I nodded but stared at him in disgust as he left.

I breathed in a sigh of relief, I still haven’t come to terms that I had been reborn, it felt like a nightmare and now, I could feel I wasn’t just the person I used to be.

I ruffled my hands inside my hair, not knowing where to start from since I am powerless at the moment, I needed someone with power and connection more stronger than mom and dad.

I stood up, pacing to and fro in my room then I remembered, in the previous life, after Xavier went into a coma.

The Daylight pack came for him and that was when everyone found out he was the alpha of the popular and strongest pack.

But I knew nothing about him except for the fact that he was Yvonne’s mate. I never met with him personally before and this would be the first time.

Just then, I received a knock on my door, I slowly walked towards it, turning the knob with shaky hands, a maid was outside holding a box.

She handed it over to me, “the alpha said to give this to you, the announcement ceremony has been shifted to tonight.”

She didn’t wait for me to respond before leaving, I stared at the box in my hand in shock, if they were to announce the crowning ceremony then it’ll be harder for me to get my revenge.

I frown, my face visible in anger.

If this is how you guys want to do then let’s see who get the last laugh.
