CHAPTER 4 - Jealousy

Chapter 4

Elora's POV

"Last night was wild Elora, I can't believe you actually got down with our mate the moment you saw him" Lunaris, my wolf blabbed in my head as I pruned the overgrown flowers in the garden.

I sighed heavily, "Can you not talk about this now? I'm already having a hard time processing all that I did last night"

"Last night huh?" I heard Jaxon utter behind me,

"I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when I saw you in the arms of that good-looking man from the function yesternight"

"Now you know your eyes are functioning properly, I'm even surprised you could also tell the dude was handsome, you got brains now huh?" I mumbled under my breath, hoping he didn't hear all the wordings.

"Guess my eyes weren't mistaken after all" He pulled my hair harshly, forcing me to stand upright and face him, "Tell me, What's going on with you two?"

"I don't owe you any explanation Jaxon, you don't own me" I slammed, wincing in pain as his grip became tighter.

"It seems you've forgotten I am next in line to become Alpha to this pack, everything will automatically become mine including yourself and your wretched mother" he gritted, pushing me away.

I staggered slightly but quickly got my stance as I shot him a deathly glare while rubbing my aching scalp.

"I won't ask you again Elora, what were you doing with that man?"

I terribly wanted to scream into his jerky face that the man he speaks about was my freaking mate but I remained mute instead, just staring at him coldly.

"You better not claim he is your mate because it isn't possible. A no-good as yourself can't possibly be mated to someone with high standards as the man I saw last night. Perhaps, you were just whoring around and throwing yourself at him" He snickered, staring down at me with disdain.

I clenched my fist, "What makes you think I can't be mated to someone like him? You find me attractive Jaxon, did it not occur to you that it might be the same case for the good-looking young man?"

"Can you hear yourself, Elora? Attractive? I saw how you were dressed last night Elora, no man in his right sense will want to approach you.."

"Well he did and as for my ridiculous outfit, it's courtesy of your crazy sister" I snapped and he twisted my arms.

"Listen carefully Elora, I don't care what it is you were discussing with this man, you can't leave the Pack no matter what. You belong here for life, you belong to me.

Did you forget that your mother is enslaved to this pack by the agreement she signed with my father? You too are bound by that same contract and so you go nowhere.

I will make sure of that, I must make you mine Elora Dawnson"

He released his grip on me as soon as he heard someone coming towards us, I rubbed my arms soothingly before picking up the pruning shears to continue what I was doing.

"Where is she?" Sun stormed into the garden, her nose blaring with anger. The moment her eyes fell on me, she made a beeline to where I stood, giving me a loud smack on my cheek.

I had not recovered from the impact of the hit and she proceeded to slap my other cheek yet again.

She was about to deliver yet another one when Jaxon held her back, "That's enough Sun, you are hurting her"

Sun pulled her hand out of his hold forcefully and glared at him, "Since when did you start caring about what I do to her?"

She snapped and without warning, completed the slap she had been meaning to give me before Jaxon interrupted her.

Tears gathered in my eyes as I held my throbbing cheeks, I didn't need a mirror to show me how badly marked my face would be at the moment.

"How dare you bitch! How did you manage to still stand out after everything I did!" Sun screamed in frustration, pulling my hair like the maniac she was.

Jaxon pulled her away from me, "What had come over you Sun? What has the young slave done to you?"

"Let me go Jaxon, I need to teach this slut a lesson she would never forget. How could you take advantage of the man whom I had my eyes on?"

I gave her a weird look, "I don't know what you are talking about. I did not take advantage of any man"

"Oh, she is denying it. I am not surprised, I expected it anyway" She folded her hands over her chest.

"You think I didn't see you hurrying out of one of the guestrooms with the bedcover which you were using to cover your nakedness?"

My eyes widened at her revelation, what more did she see?

"You are surprised I know, right? How dare you cross my mother's orders by leaving my side? I searched for you all over the mansion only to discover that your clothes were sprawled on his bed.

The both of you had a steamy night together huh?" She snickered menacingly and with each step she took closer to me, I dressed backwards.

"How could you leave me hanging in that room while you were busy whoring away your time? How dare you seduce him, you stupid slimy Slut!

So what now? He has your image plastered in his mind and can't seem to forget what you guys had together. What did you tell him about me? You poisoned his mind, didn't you?"

"No, of course not, I did nothing of that sort" My voice was shaky as I was filled with fear of what she might do to me.

"Oh please, don't play pretend you crook! If you hadn't shown up and stolen my place, My night would have been much better with that eye candy.

But did you sit at a place? No, you threw yourself at him and stole my shine thereby ruining my day as always you wretched Slave!" Sun slammed in anger as she threw the pruning shears at me, inflicting a big cut on my arm.

But right before my eyes and that of Sun's, the wound closed up on its own without leaving a single scar.

Sun screamed terrifically and Jaxon held her before she fell to the ground in shock,

"Witch! She's a Witch!" Sun yelled on top of her voice and Jaxon's eyes widened.
