Chloe's POV
I took some time to study this woman. She was a blonde with intriguing green eyes.
"Wow," I muttered. She was pretty.
"Are you going to get out of my way or what?!" She spat as she widened her eyes at me.
The tears that had formed in my eyes began to fall freely down my cheeks.
Unlike Rose, I had never even met this woman before. With the way she spoke to me, I felt like I was back in my Pack all over again.
"I… I'm sorry." I muttered, with my head bowed. "I didn't mean to bump into you."
"You didn't mean to bump into me, but you did it anyway! You're so clumsy!"
"I'm sorry."
"Whatever. Look at me." She ordered, and I raised my head up to meet her eyes. "Who are you?"
"Um…" I stuttered. My name is Chloe."
"And?" She scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Am I supposed to know you? Tell me who the hell you are!" She yelled, raising her voice.
"I… um…"
"Speak, dammit!"
"I'm Zayne's mate!" I blurted the words out.
She laughed so uncontrollably and almost lost her balance.
"What's so funny?" I asked, gaining some sort of confidence.
"What makes you think in your delusional mind that you'd ever be mated to Zayne?"
Now, I was getting annoyed. How could she speak to me like that? I had already taken enough bullshit.
"I'm tired of being weak." I whispered to myself. How could I ever be worthy of being Zayne's Luna if I show my weakness?
"I asked you a question!" The woman yelled, shoving me, and I staggered onto the ground.
I cursed inwardly. So much for not showing my weakness.
"Tell me who the f*ck you are!"
"Don't speak to me like that!" I yelled, surprised I even did that.
"Who do you think you are, you b***h?!" She yelled as she dragged my hair forcefully. "How could you address Zayne without his title? Were you so desperate to make him fall in love with you that you had to cast a spell on him?"
"No." I nodded. "I'm telling you, Miss. I'm his mate."
"Well, that's impossible. Where is he?!" She barked, and I flinched.
"I… have been searching around the packhouse for him too."
"Why?" She sneered. "Why are you looking for my mate?"
"Huh?" I asked, my voice barely audible.
"Are you deaf now? I hate repeating myself."
"Um… No… You're wrong. Zayne is my mate. I felt it. I felt the pull. I—"
"Shut up, you swine!" She spat, planting a resounding slap on my face. "I'm sure you just want to get into Zayne's pants, but newsflash, b***h! That's never going to happen!"
I pressed my palm on my face, my palms petting the smearing pain I felt there.
'Chloe… you shouldn't allow this b***h to get away with this.' Nyx said.
"What do you mean, Nyx? We've never stood up to anyone before."
'There's a first time for everything. You can't allow you to keep belittling you—belittling us.'
"Um… I don't know—"
'Come on, Chloe. We don't even know who she is. How could she speak to you like that even after you told her about our mate?
"So what should we do?"
"Hurt her!"
"But I don't know how to—"
Before I could complete my sentence, Nyx took over me. My eyes turned aqua blue, and the veins in my eyes popped out.
"What do you think you're trying to do, you fool?" She whined. "Don't humiliate yourself any further. I can already smell your weakness from here."
'Shut your mouth!' Nyx growled.
"Ouuu…" she mocked. "I'm so scared. You can't do anything!" She yelled, revealing her sharp claws. "Let's see how tough you'd continue to be when this lands on your face!"
"Don't test me." Nyx warned.
"Do your wor-"
"What the hell is going on here?"
I turned to see Zayne, together with Ryder.
On seeing him, this strange woman fell onto the floor beside me.
"Ow!" She winced, gripping her leg.
"What happened?" Zayne asked, rushing towards her.
He crouched beside her and examined her leg.
Tears formed in my eyes again at his actions. He didn’t even bother to check on me first. Who was this woman? It seemed like he cared about her so much.
She hugged him so tightly, and sometimes, she'd look up to shoot a mischievous glare at me.
My heart ached. Not because of this strange lady, but because of Zayne.
"What happened to your leg?" He asked gently.
"Oh, um… she did it!" She blurted, pointing towards me.
"No, she didn't. I haven't known Chloe for so long, but I trust her already, and I know she's incapable of hurting anyone."
Ouch.
"So, are you taking her side now?"
"No…. Yes… I mean, I…"
"Stop this, Zayne! Tell me who she is!" The woman demanded.
I stood there, the tears spilling down my cheeks slowly now.
"Tell me, Zayne!" She continued to yell.
"Don't raise your tone with me! Remember who you're speaking to! I am your Alpha—the supreme Alpha!"
"I'm sorry, Alpha. I didn't mean to." She quickly apologized, bowing her head before him.
Zayne continued to look at her sternly. "That's Chloe. She's my-"
"Ow!!" The woman winced again.
"Are you sure you don't want me to call the healer to check your ankle out?"
"No… I… I'm fine." She murmured.
Okay. I had enough of this drama already. I had to know who this b***h was.
"Zayne…" I started as I glanced at him. "Who is she?"
"Chloe… I swear… this is not what you think."
"Tell me who she is!" I demanded, sniffling.
"Darling… You're starting to get upset—"
"Tell me!!!"
"Fine." Zayne said with a sigh. He walked towards me and tried to hold my hands, but I took a few steps back from him. "Chloe, this is Evelyn. She's—"
"His Fiancée." The woman cut in suddenly.
"Wh…What?" I murmured, almost choking on my saliva.
"That's right, Chloe. I'm Zayne's fiancée, so you better start telling me who the f*ck you are!"
