The Moon Lie

Alpha Clay Wilson

"Will you come with me, to Lal Pack? You will be my mate and the Luna of Lal Pack." Clay looked at Charlotte, who was a little surprised and continued.

His eyes were lit up with sincerity, and his tone was soft, making Charlotte feel like she was treasured and precious in his eyes.

She was his mate? But why didn't she have the mate bond with him? She just couldn't feel it. Was it a mistake? But judging by his serious look, he couldn't be telling jokes.

Charlotte was confused. Was the Moon Goddess playing with her? Just when she wanted to clarify it, on second thought, she bit her tongue.

Wait, did he just say Lal Pack? Was it a nearby pack? Maybe she could leave the Aiden Pack with Clay first and then look for her parents and her real pack.

Charlotte felt inside her empty pockets and made up her mind.

"Yes. I will leave for Lal Pack with you," said Charlotte slowly. For the first time in her life, she lied.

Charlotte tried to convince herself that the man didn't look like a bad guy. If she really fell in love with him, it would also be a good choice to be his Luna.

Clay excitedly picked up the girl and spun her around, he was so happy.

"Stop, stop it." Charlotte broke away from Clay's arms. She still had lingering fear in her heart for what happened previously with Tomas. She couldn't accept any touching from men now.

"Before that, I have something to tell you." Charlotte looked serious.

"Before I was eighteen, I was an Omega in the Aiden Pack. No one likes me there, except Rosa. I didn't know that my mate was Shaw Wright, the son of the Aiden Pack Alpha until I was eighteen. But Shaw didn't like me. He looked down on me for being an Omega and humiliated me in front of everyone. So I rejected him in public as a return."

"Now you know my story, do you still want me to be your mate?" asked Charlotte.

Clay took Charlotte, who was obviously tense and trembling slightly, in his arms, trying to warm this poor girl.

"I wish I could meet you earlier, Charlotte. I feel so lucky, you know? The first time I saw you, I..." Clay looked at Charlotte's forehead. He was afraid that his ardor for this girl would rattle her instead. He stopped talking at once, but his words and the way he looked at her had managed to make Charlotte blush.

Clay cleared his throat and changed the topic, "I shouldn't have brought you back here to upset you. But don't worry, I'll take you away soon when I'm done here."

Although Charlotte didn't think Clay was her mate, she somehow knew that she was afraid Clay would reject her.

"Thank you." Charlotte hugged Clay gratefully.

No matter what, Charlotte was grateful to him from the bottom of her heart.

"Do you want to grab a bite, and take a look around?" Clay invited.

He was going to sign the peace agreement tomorrow. They still had time.

"Sure," agreed Charlotte. She was indeed hungry after a long rest.

The Aiden Mansion was light and spacious. As they walked downstairs, a few Omega cleaners, who were busy working, kept peeking at Charlotte from time to time. Charlotte knew that they were actually attracted to Clay.

She cast a glance at the tall man next to her, well, he was quite a looker... But for no reason, she felt awkward by their gaze.

The staircase had never been so long when she cleaned them before.

"Ah!" As the thoughts were running on her head, Charlotte missed a step on a stairway and fell. She grabbed the man beside her immediately to hold steady.

"Are you okay?" Clay held her up. His beautiful navy blue eyes stared at her as if she was the center of the world.

'Would he think I did it on purpose?' Charlotte bit her lip and didn't speak a word about it.

She endured the pain in her ankle, holding onto the carved railing and limping down the stairs.

Suddenly Clay squatted in front of her.

"Come on. Let me carry you downstairs."

"What?"

Charlotte wanted to refuse, but a voice in her head whispered to her to do what she was told. And the next moment, she found herself on his muscular and broad back.

"Thanks..." Charlotte blushed again and carefully wrapped her arms around his neck.

The man's shoulders were so strong that it made her feel secure.

Shaw, who had just returned from outside, happened to see them like this.

The girl he humiliated earlier was on a man's back, blushed.

Subconsciously, Shaw clenched his fists, a sudden surge of anger taking over his head.

He had just left for a day, and there was already a next target? What a slut!

Shaw wanted to turn around and leave right away, but he couldn't stop thinking about the scene he just witnessed. He didn't move until the two walked away.

"Put me down, please. I can walk on my own." After coming down the stairs, Charlotte said shyly.

She could imagine what would those people say if they saw her with Clay.

Although she was ready to leave the Aiden Pack, she didn't want to be gossiped about.

Clay held Charlotte and said gently, "There is a garden ahead. Let me help you get there."

He then helped Charlotte sit down on the bench and squatted down, holding Charlotte's foot and giving her ankle an examination.

Charlotte withdrew her foot almost as a reflex action. The following pain made her gulp for air.

"Don't move. Let me take a look," said Clay gently.

Charlotte's ankle was slightly red and swollen because of the sprain.

"I sprained my foot a lot when I was a kid. My mother would give me a massage. She was rather good at it, telling stories to distract my attention to the pain," said Clay slowly while recalling the days of his childhood.

Charlotte listened to him attentively and forgot her sprained ankle for a moment.

Suddenly, Clay massaged her ankle with a stronger pressure as she was distracted.

"Ouch!" Charlotte screamed out.

"There you go, see, it works."

Clay squatted down and gently massaged her feet. Hearing his words, Charlotte stretched her foot and actually felt better.

However, they just met and hardly know each other. This massage thing seemed way too intimate for them.

At the thought of it, Charlotte blushed even more.

Standing in the distance, Shaw glared at the two jealously and furiously.

"Why did I even care? Isn't getting rid of charlotte is what I want?"

"Damn it! She was just a cheap slut!" Shaw tightened his jaws angrily and left.

Seeing the man in the dark leave in anger, Clay sneered.

"You feel better now?" Clay asked, looking up at her.

Charlotte stood up and took two steps forward. It didn't hurt at all anymore.

"Thank you, Clay."

Charlotte said softly and coyly, as a lock of hair fell over her forehead.

"Charlotte, I bet Shaw will regret it big time," said Clay, who was obviously in a good mood.

The smile faded from Charlotte's face when she heard him mention Shaw. "I don't know. It's none of my business anymore."

"You are right. Come on, let's go grab something," Clay suggested.

"Sure. We can back to my place, and I could introduce you to Rosa. Rosa is an excellent cook, and a very very nice person..." Charlotte was in high spirit again when talking about Rosa.

"Okay, but you might wanna slow down. Watch your step, girl."

Across the path was a small, low packhouse, where several Omegas were working nearby.

"We'll be there soon," reminded Charlotte. She tensed and quickened her pace when she saw the familiar faces.

Just when Clay was about to tell Charlotte to slow down, he heard someone mock and snort.

"Well, isn't that Charlotte? I heard she ran away after being rejected by Shaw, why is she here now?"

"Who's the man with her? He's so handsome!"

"So what? Maybe he's a loser just like her!"

"Charlotte, is he your new toy?" A woman shouted disdainfully, "Hey, handsome, don't let her innocent look fool you. She's nothing but a dirty hoe."

"Yeah!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Charlotte was angry. She didn't want to get into trouble, but these people went too far!

"Jona Katic, I swear you will get what you deserve!" Charlotte determined to teach this woman a lesson sooner or later.

"What? You wanna fight me?"

Jona Katic strode forward cockily. The other Omegas who were standing aside and watching quickly gathered around.

"Charlotte, you b***h!"

Jona raised her arm, trying to slap Charlotte in the face. However, someone stopped her. The man beside Charlotte grabbed Jona's wrist and eyed her coldly.

"Boy you better stay out of this," Jona said with a fierce look on her face. But after taking a closer look at Clay, Jona changed her face immediately and put on a charming smile instead, "If you want someone prettier and cleaner, I do not mind being your girlfriend."

Jona puffed out her boobs to show her assets.

"Oh, yeah?" Clay gave her a meaningful smile.

Jona felt her heartbeat quicken. Holy s**t! This hottie was so goddamn sexy! She was OK about it even if he was an Omega!

"But I DO mind. You filthy animal." Clay shook off Jona's hand in disgust and took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands as if he had touched something unclean.

"You!" Jona was speechless with rage. No one ever dared to humiliate her like this! She then hinted at the people around her to tan Clay's hide.

This f*****g toy boy needs a tough lesson today!

"I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Clay Wilson, the Alpha of Lal Pack, and this lady, Charlotte Green, is my mate," Clay grinned and said.

He dropped his handkerchief on the ground and put his arm around Charlotte's shoulders.

A few Omegas were not worthy of a fight at all.

Everyone paused when they heard what Clay said.

"What? Did I hear it wrong? He's an Alpha?"

"No way..." Someone muttered.

"Why Charlotte always gets involved with the Alpha?"

Murmurs started in the crowd.

Jona was pale instantly. She'd pissed off an Alpha and tried to flirt with him just now!

"Alpha Clay, how come Charlotte is your mate? She's the lowest omega in our pack! Maybe she used some trick to deceive you," Jona decided to smear her.

"You may not know, Alpha Clay, Charlotte has seduced our Alpha's son Shaw Wright many times. All of us have seen the tricks she played!"

At the mention of Charlotte's "affair", Clay's face clouded over. He dropped his arm from Charlotte's shoulder, turned to Charlotte, and said, "Is that so? No wonder I always feel something's wrong."

Hearing Clay's words, Jona smirked. It seemed that Clay had bought her story.

Clay raised his hand and spit out a sentence from those sexy and beautiful lips:

"You make me sick."

Charlotte's mind went blank and her eyes closed.
