Mate, You Are My Enemy

Chapter 24: Jaw-dropping

Diana’s pov

I hear Camille running after me after a while.

“Arg, those kids are so spoiled. They think that they are better than everyone.”

I turned around to look at her.

The same face that was sucking up to them a few minutes ago.

My hearing has also gotten a lot better with time and training.

Vampires walk like they are not there.

So I had to train every sense during my training with Kai.

She said something similar to them about me.

“So, what are you planning to wear to the coronation tomorrow. You are the future Queen Luna.”

The way she said those words, no matter how she tried to hide the venom in her voice, she failed.

She hates it; she was probably happy when I disappeared.

I had time to think and look back on all my relationships.

To try and understand what went wrong, and little by little, I started seeing cracks in most of those relationships.

Camille, she didn’t like me because she thought of me as a friend.

Hell, she didn’t like me at all; she kept me around because I was useful to her.

As the daughter of an Alpha, I got invited to many events from other packs.

And most of the time, I was asked to bring a friend or two, and she would tag along.

Despite getting certain benefits of being my friend, she always resented me.

Thought that she deserved it more than I did.

And now, I bet she is fuming and doesn’t even know what to do.

I disappeared and became nothing but the daughter of a traitor.

And yet I was back, and not just as anyone but as the future Queen Luna of all werewolves.

I came back in a position higher than hers just as she thought that she had won.

“I haven’t decided yet,” I answered truthfully.

When I looked at the closet this morning, I realized just how many clothes Ezra bought for me.

And as much as I want to make her even more jealous by rubbing this on her face.

I also don’t want anyone to be aware of the nature of my relationship with Ezra.

I want them to think that I am defenseless, so they make their moves.

I am more of a defense and not offense kind of person.

And if people knew about Ezra and his weird obsession with me, it would change the way they treat me.

And while at that, I need to find a way to handle Ezra when it comes to this.

When he saw the way the people in my aunt’s coven spoke of me, he wasn’t happy.

I had to rush him out of there before he drew blood.

Now, how do I deal with him here?

I need to find a way that will ease his anger and rid him of his killing tendencies, even when I am not around.

“Can I see it? I mean, the dress you plan on wearing?” Camille asked me.

I looked at her and realized that this was what she wanted all along.

I show her the dress I am wearing so she knows what she needs to measure up.

“Of course, let’s go back to the bedroom.”

She couldn’t even hide the triumphant smile as we walked back.

I had to stop myself from rolling my eyes and feeling silly at the situation.

It feels like I am dealing with a teenager.

She hasn’t grown even one bit, so I feel almost offended that she thought something like this would work on me.

Well, it worked on me all the time back then.

Being the daughter of an omega who was constantly bullied.

I felt sorry for her, and I didn’t want her to feel like she was less than me.

So most of the time, I would shrink myself to give her space to shine.

Before I knew it, she had taken up even my space, which I was suffocating without realizing.

And now, even knowing that I am going to be her Queen she still wants to take up my space.

We got to the bedroom, and she sat on the couch.

I walked into the closet, looking at the line of dresses in the room with a frown.

Why on earth did he have to buy so many dresses?

I feel like I just walked into Kai’s closet.

The difference is that this one has all types of colour and not just the bloodshot red he wears all the time.

On the other side of the closet was nothing but dark suits and expensive watches.

I took the three plainest dresses I could find and then walked out.

I tried them on in front of her, just like we always did when we were kids.

She praised all of them, her eyes even sparkling with a look I now knew.

She was rejoicing at the fact that she is going to outshine me tomorrow.

Looking at the yellow dress that washes my skin tone and the simple yet elegant black dress made her happy.

“Wear the black one, tomorrow’s event is all about elegant simplicity.”

How did I fall for this back then?

“What are you wearing? Will you show me?” I asked her, and she shook her head.

“I haven’t decided on a dress yet. I have been so busy helping Justin organize everything, I haven't picked out a dress,” she answered.

I wanted to roll my eyes.

From the information I have, Justin is nothing but an errand boy for Ezra.

And he is only trusted with the errands that don’t really matter.

Most of his beta duties are taken care of by Zayn, who actually has Ezra’s trust.

So her being busy is nothing but bullshit.

And she is also using these lies to try to rub her position as the beta’s wife in my face.

When I didn’t answer, she spoke up again.

“You are not angry with me, are you? About Justin?” she asked, and I shook my head.

“I lost everything back then. Now I realized how unimportant a stupid crush was.”

She didn’t seem to like my answers, but nodded either way.

She stayed there for an hour, talking about her perfect life.

Her plans with Justin and how happy they are now.

And I sat there and listened, listened as she tried rubbing salt on my wounds.

I never saw it, but Ezra’s words kept playing in my head over and over again.

He was right, someone like Justin didn’t deserve me even for a second.

But he and Camille deserve each other, and I am going to enjoy destroying their little peaceful life.

Her ramblings about her perfect life are what invited the evil eye into her marriage.

When she was gone, I sat down and started doing some work.

Some of the work was to talk to Kai and let him know about my progress here.

He has spies everywhere except here, so he has no idea what was going on.

But he did tell me about the public’s opinions about my comeback.

Apparently, some were happy to know that I was still alive and well.

Others wish that I had been killed with my parents back then.

After I finished all my work, I went closet diving to try and find the perfect dress.

I want something that will shock everyone and that screams Queen Luna.

I am not really happy about the position, but it is convenient, and I plan to wear it with pride.

“So, you don’t like the dresses I bought you.”

Ezra stood there, looking like he had just come out of the bathroom.

He was still clean, not a wrinkle or crinkle on his clothes.

“I am looking for a dress. I want a jaw-dropping dress for tomorrow night.”

I continued looking, all the dresses were beautiful and crazy expensive.

I am surprised that he thought about them because, honestly, I don’t have anything resembling a dress in my bag.

“Look inside that book.” Ezra interrupted me.

My eyes landed on an elegant box, and I looked up at him.

I opened it, and my eyes went wide as I stared at Ezra.

“Is that jaw-dropping enough?” he asked.

His eyes were dancing with amusement as he looked at my reaction.

“You had this made. When did you have this made?” I asked him.

How is it even possible?
