The Taste of the Scorned Luna's Revenge

Ten

Faye's POV

I walked out of my room the next morning wearing one of my dresses that Zoe would refer to as antic. I had intentionally worn it to avoid getting Rex angry. If I had worn the clothes I intended to, he would have lost his temper. I was sure that he had not gotten over what happened the previous night so getting him angry that morning was not going to be good.

One thing I did was ensure that all the clothes I bought, including the bikinis, were in my box, along with some other old clothes. The housekeeper was in the sitting room and quickly ran to me to get my bag. She didn't look me in the eyes but I ignored that thinking she was acting that way because of what happened last night.

"Is Rex not out of his room yet?" I asked.

"He is outside waiting by the car with Ma'am Veda," the housekeeper said.

I wasn't surprised. I knew she would be clinging to him because he would be away for the next few days. Away from her evil claws.

I had thought about it during the night about the possibility of using the time away from Veda to try to bond with Rex and just maybe he would love me instead. But I had discarded the thought.

I wasn't prepared for the scene I met outside. Veda was standing holding Rex's arm with her bag beside her and she was dressed too.

"Is she going with us?" I asked frowning at Rex.

"Yes," Rex answered nonchalantly.

"Why?" I asked as anger made me bite the inside of my mouth.

"Veda has been indoors. I just want her to travel with us and have a change of scenery," Rex said then looked at Veda and smiled softly.

"And her son?" I asked wondering if Rex was taking him along too.

"The housekeeper will look after him while we are away," Rex said.

"Wow!" I said turning to Veda "You should have the award of the century as the best mother ever. You leave your child and run off with someone else's husband? You should be ashamed of yourself," I sneered.

"Stop that nonsense this minute or I will change my mind about bringing you along," Rex threatened.

"Fine. I think you should go with her. I am no longer interested," I said then turned around to leave. If Rex had known that I would act like that, he wouldn't have threatened me. He would never attend the Alpha's summit with Veda on his arms. He knew how much tarnishing that could bring to his image.

"If you move any further away Faye, you wouldn't like what I would do to you," Rex growled.

"You already have a companion Rex. Go with her," I said then continued walking back into the house.

Rex was in front of me in a second blocking my way into the house. He looked so pissed but I didn't give a damn. I had been patient with him enough.

"What the hell has gotten into you these days Faye?" Rex growled then grabbed my hand and pulled me back to the car.

He opened the front door and shoved me not too gently into the front seat. Then said, "If you dare get out of that seat, the moon help me, I will place you in the trunk."

I sat down there and said nothing. I was sure that he would definitely do as he had said. There was no way I could outrun him. I saw the pitiful look on the driver's face as Veda and Rex got in the back seat while I sat in the front with the driver.

I turned away to stare out of the window as tears stung my eyes. Rex was everything a female desired in a man. He was my mate yet he thought his brother's widow deserved a place beside him while I sat beside the driver.

I felt so unwanted. I felt so unloved. I felt so unacceptable but I had to just keep quiet and sit there like I was emotionless.

Luckily enough for me, weariness took over soon enough and I fell asleep. The city where the Alphas' summit was being held was an hour and a half drive away from our pack. It is called The King's City.

It was like an extension of the palace. Kings have meetings there and big galas are held there as well. Beautiful scenery and wonderful landscape that could blow the mind.

When I opened my eyes again, we were in the busy street of The King's City. I heard Veda chuckle lightly as Rex said something to her but I blocked them both off as I let the beauty of the city capture my attention.

"Which hotel are you allocated to, Alpha?" The driver asked.

"The Claws Hotel," Rex answered.

"The Claws? Oh my goodness! I have heard about how beautiful the hotel looks. I am so glad that I get to stay there for five days," Veda screeched making the driver roll his eyes. It was no news that most of Rex's staff didn't like Veda but what say do they have in anything?

"I am glad that it pleases you. I intentionally asked for the Claws' reservation. I knew that you would love it," Rex said and I shook my head in self-pity.

Rex was very intentional with Veda but with me, he is very indifferent. Not once had he done anything just for the sake of pleasing me. At that moment, I realised that Rex wasn't incapable of being intentional, I guess I was the problem.

The driver drove us to the hotel and yet I got another shock of my life. There, Rex had reserved a room with an adjoining door that would lead to Veda's room while I got a detached room next to them.

I said nothing as I got my key card and walked away from them to get to my room. In the corridor that led to my room, I saw someone walking towards me. I would never have mistaken that gait anyway. I froze on the spot when I realised who it was.

"Alpha Rex," Dacre said as he walked closer looking over my shoulder with a wicked grin. I had not heard Rex and Veda walk towards me. I was too shocked by Dacre's presence.

"Alpha Dacre. What are you doing here?" Rex asked.

"We are all here for the summit, aren't we? I am booked here," Dacre said moving closer. When he was close enough, he looked me straight in the eyes and said, "See you around Luna Faye," then walked right past me.

I quickly recovered from my shock and walked away from there. I found my room, used my key card, and rushed inside, quickly closing the door behind me.

My heart was beating so fast, too fast. It wasn't right, I was married, I was mated, my heart shouldn't skip at the sight of another male. I could only hope that I lived through the five days without committing a blunder. A terrible blunder. Dacre was a danger to my heart.
