The Greatest Revenge of a Luna

CHAPTER 10; Badass

My eyes followed him as he was going out the door.

Holding the exact part where he himself held me tightly.

It wasn't too painful and it was nothing compared to the pain I experienced before.

The tears in my eyes were not because I was hurt physically, but because I was afraid that he might already realize that he was wrong about taking me with him.

I'm afraid that I will be rejected by everyone because I know that I have nothing to be proud of.

I stopped the tears that formed in my eyes and sat on the chair next to the table where the food was.

Although it has completely cooled, it still looks delicious. I can't remember the last time I ate decent food like this.

But I don't feel like eating anything at the moment.

I took my eyes off the food in front of me, and the next thing it landed on was my arm where there was the mark of his hand.

"I shouldn't have angered him. This is the first time someone showed concern for you, but then you're repaying him like this? You're really worthless.

What if he puts you back in that pack because of your stupidity?

I let out a deep breath and no matter how hard I tried to hold back, my tears kept falling, but I didn't bother paying attention to that. Instead, I took the spoon and fork that were on the table next to the plate of food and started to take a bite.

"I don't want to. I'm not going back to that hellish place.

My mind whispered as my tears fell while I was filling my mouth with food.

I need to be strong. If I continue to be as weak as I am now, it is much better to die than to go deeper into hell and suffer for the rest of my life.

I have no one else to rely on but myself. Because of all of the hardships I have gone through in the past three years, one of the things I have learned is not to trust so easily, especially people who give goodness very quickly.

Yes, I admit that I depended on others for my freedom and I owe it to these people that I was able to leave Alpha Austin's pack, even so. I have to be careful and not immediately trust them. This is the only way I can take care of myself.

I immediately put away my used dishes after I filled my stomach.

"I'll wash it tomorrow." I whispered while looking at the tray where I put all the plates together.

"It's late at night so I might cause a disturbance if I leave the room just to wash the dishes. Also, I don't know this place yet, so it's not a good idea for me to wander around.

I let out a weak breath as I headed to the wide bed. Slowly, I sat down at the end of it because there was a part of me that was still uncomfortable.

Everything I see now is new to me and it all belongs to that man who was here just now in front of me.

"There is no doubt that he is my mate.

I whispered as I looked around the room.

I'm breathing the air that has his scent.

He smells very manly.

I slightly raised my face and closed my eyes while trying to identify the fragrant smell floating in the air.

Spicy, woodsy amber.

This is the kind of smell I can't get enough of.

I suddenly remembered how close his face was to mine earlier in the car when he tried to carry me in his arms because he thought I was asleep. It's actually his scent that wakes me up.

I opened up my eyes to a blank ceiling on top of me when I realized what I was doing.

"No!!!" What is happening to you?

I had lost my senses just now, so I immediately slapped my own face to make sure I woke up my sanity from worldly lust.

I felt my warm blood rush up to my face because of embarrassment.

"What a shame!" I screamed while holding my face in my hands.

"This is not the right attitude of a sensible woman, Cassandra! You are disgraceful!

I said to myself while trying to keep my voice down because someone might hear me.

I climbed into the bed and buried my face in the pillows.

I was even surprised by my reaction because this was the first time I felt this for a man and it was just because of his smell.

I didn't even know him completely and, other than him being my mate, I didn't know anything else about him.

I let out a soft breath as I pulled my face back from being buried in the pillow.

My eyes landed on a completely blank ceiling. It feels strange, but I feel comfortable. I forced myself out of my playful thoughts and brought myself back to reality.

All I have to think about are the important things I have to do now that I'm freed from my misery.

i flap to my side and hug an empty pillow.

"Nice lampshade.

I whispered when I turned my gaze to the simple design of the lampshade resting on the side table on that side.

As I stared at that bright object that served as light in the room, my memory returned to that night.

The night that served as the beginning of my suffering.

I pressed my eyes close while remembering that person.

I saw him in the burning surroundings. Almost a shadow and I couldn't see him. I could only see the shape of her body in her black clothes.

Up to this day, I can still feel the heat on my skin every time I look back at that scene.

That night, I lost my home, friends and loving father.

And no matter how painful that past was, I will never forget him. That's the only way my hatred for that person will remain burning.

I felt tears welling up in my eyes.

I want justice and revenge. Maybe that is the reason why I'm still breathing. I will not stop until I get revenge on that person. And now that I'm free, I'll spend the rest of my life finding him and making him pay.

Next day…….

"Am I really such a scary person? I mean- I didn't do anything to her, I even made her dinner.

I feel my wrinkles are etched on my forehead because of the annoyance that happened last night. I feel bad because I might hurt her. She was crying before I left the room.

"I'm just being nice to her."

I grumbled while sitting on the wide gray sofa overlooking the kitchen counter where Mother was preparing breakfast.

While Arlo was sitting on the other sofa to my left next to the stairs,

"What?" I asked him seriously when my eyes caught my beta's uncontrollable giggles.

"Well, with your thick mustache and beard closed face?

He didn't answer my question directly, but I knew what he was pointing at.

"Why don't you just remove your facial hair?

You know, I love your son and I really adore your hairy face, but not all girls will like that.

"So you're saying it's because of my mustache and beard? Nonsense."

I really had no intention of growing them like this, it's just that I lost time because I was busy with my business trips for the past years.

"Just shave it, man."

Arlo insisted. Mother just shrugged her shoulders in agreement when I turned my gaze to her.

But kidding aside, now that I'm looking at him, I suddenly remember Jack.

"Should I tell her?

I know that even if she misses my brother and no matter how much I make her feel how much I loved her, it still won't be enough.

It's like a piece of her heart that is missing.

"Mom.

"Hmp? She immediately turned to me.

I think she has the most beautiful smile I've ever seen, but that can't hide the sadness in her eyes.

"How are you?

She frowned and slightly twisted her head to the side.

"I'm fine? why?

She asked curiously.

"Nothing, I just wanna ask.

I just said as I sparingly showed a smile.

In the end, I had better not tell her so I can avoid giving her false hope.

"By the way, Arlo, did you buy it?

"Of course! Arlo grabbed a pink paper bag

in the corner next to the sofa he was sitting on and handed it to me.

"I just hope it fits her. I had a hard time with the sizes. The good thing is the sales lady was kinda- friendly."

He smirks annoyingly.

"A yeah, really huh?

I know Arlo, sometimes his badass comes out, since he hasn't met his mate yet.
