Enraged

I peeked at him to see him leering at it without averting his gaze. He wasn’t having that
Enraged look on his face anymore, he was gawking at it with softness and longing.
He must’ve missed the Luna dearly, if this belongs to her then, she is lucky her mate still thinks about her and longs for her even after three years have passed.
Up till this moment, I do not know what happened to the Luna. Karen once mentioned that her death wasn’t ordinary. There was a case, but what was it?
How did she end up dead and why did those rumors about Alpha Damon disassociating himself from other females after the Luna’s death keep spreading?
I shouldn’t be curious about it since it has nothing to do with me, but my inquisitiveness got to me. There were also rumors about the Luna dying because of Apha Damon.
But if that was the case, he wouldn’t be staring at her belongings with such a gaze. For the first time since I got here, I could finally read him. He didn’t hide his emotion, or maybe he got lost.
“Do you miss theLuna that much? It’s been three years,” I blurted.
The moment I realized what I just said, my hands flew to my mouth and my eyes were wide open. Why did I say that?
Alpha Damon’s head moved swiftly in my direction, making my heart palpitate in fear.
He darkened his gaze on me, tightened his jaw, stretched his lips into a tight line, reddened his cheeks, and flared his nostrils with intensity, sending shivers down my spine.
I swallowed hard immediately as he stood up, his eyes blazing with fury. “Never mention her name again. I might lose it the next time you do. Don’t cross the boundary, Olivia”
I flinched as he hit the table before stomping out of the room, leaving me in utter shock and disbelief.
I mentally scolded myself for blurting such nonsense at the wrong time. But I wasn’t expecting him to get furious over this.
I wouldn’t have dared to make such a mistake if I had known that the topic was a bit sensitive to him. I have successfully killed the mood and now he has left.
What am I supposed to do now? How do I make up to him or apologize to him? What if he stops talking to me? What if he starts acting like my uncle did towards me?
I shook my head to get rid of those negative thoughts. I will apologize to him when he is no longer mad at me. I won’t ever make the mistake of mentioning the Luna whenever I am with him again.
I guess the tour ended before it could start, all thanks to me. Thankfully, I still know my way back to the room to room. If I do not want to get on Alpha Damon’s bad side, I should watch what I say around him.
I sluggishly walked back to my room, avoiding the side talks from the maids. It will become a headache for me if it turns out that they are saying something bad about me.
By the time I got to my room, I saw Zania arranging my bed. The plates were also gone. “I told you not to do this, I can do things like this by myself” I accentuated.
Zania smiled at me while nodding her head. “I was just bored. I can’t stay without doing anything,” she defended.
“Does that mean you are free now?” I asked, as my face lit up with excitement. “For now, I am,” she responded with a chuckle.
“Please stay with me. You are the only one I can talk to. I don’t know anyone else,” I persuaded. “But that’s not true. You have your assistant,” she replied playfully, forcing me to roll my eyes at her.
“She is scary, I can’t think of the idea of having a conversation with her,” I rejected, earning another chuckle from her.
Instead of letting her continue dressing my bed, I sat down and asked her to do the same. “I saw Alpha Damon showing you around. There is no need for me to do that anymore, right?” She asked
I sighed and facepalmed myself. “We only visited the herbal garden and the reading nook. He left in a rage because I spoke about the former Luna. It was just a slip of the tongue,” I expanded.
Zania stared at me with her eyes threatening to bulge out of their sockets. Did I do something that bad? “You did what?” she screamed.
“You should be glad that your head is still on your neck. There are things we don’t talk about here and she is one of them,” she spoke with a viable frown on her face.
“Don’t ever make that kind of mistake again, Olivia,” Zania warned, reminding her of the slaughter that occurred right in her presence a month ago because of this.
“Alpha Damon might be nice to you, but he won’t be like that to you all the time. Please be careful,” she added. I didn’t know that there would be a consequence to my actions.
Hearing about it now is making my stomach turn into mortification. I have to stop being curious. I am too young to die.
But why is talking about the former Luna such a big crime? Of course, Alpha Damon will think of her whenever her name comes up, but that cannot be the reason why she has become a forbidden topic in the tower.
I am glad he didn’t behead me. He probably freed me because I am new around here. He wouldn’t spare me next time. I might have my head rolling on the floor while my body grows in pain.
Trying to get rid of those scary thoughts, I adjusted to the bed and turned to face Zania. “How close is the Alpha to Claire?”
Although I already knew the answer, the question still left my mouth.
“Very close. She has been the only female Alpha Damon acknowledged before you came into the picture. He believes whatever she says, Claire is never wrong in the eyes of the Alpha”
I exhaled, learning about what she just said. If Alpha Damon likes her so much, why did he make me his mistress instead of her?
My heart sank for a second, remembering what Claire said to me. Was I truly brought here for a different reason? What? Why?
There were so many questions running through my mind, but I had no one to answer any of them.
“That is why I am advising you not to get into trouble with her. Alpha Damon will take her side,” Zania’s sentence added to my anxiety.
I placed my hands on the bed. I do not know what to think anymore. As much as I am trying hard to mask this feeling of hurt, I couldn’t.
“Why does she-” The sudden opening of my door startled me due to how impulsive it was.
Right at my door was the devil’s daughter whom we were just talking about, with her eyes throwing daggers at me.
Zania stood up from my bed immediately. I did the same too while Claire walked towards us with her hands folded to her chest.
“Good morning, Claire,” I greeted, forcing a smile at her. Claire scoffed. She looked around my room in disgust. My room is not dirty. Why is she looking around with irritation?
“Why are you here?” I followed up, knowing that she wouldn’t answer my pleasantries.
“Do you think I am here because I like it? If I can, I will do anything to make sure that you are out of my sight forever,” she snarled.
I nodded my head at her without uttering a word. I wasn’t expecting her to speak nicely to me.
“Alpha Damon” the mention of his name had me staring at Claire with my heart sinking in fear. What about him?
I could see Claire’s face turning red from anger, but I don’t know why she is mad. I know she hates me, but with the murderous look in her eyes right now, the hatred has climbed up.
What did I do? Did Alpha Damon say something provoking about me to her? He tells her everything. I bet she already knows about the incident some minutes ago.
“Alpha Damon wants you in his room tonight,” Claire announced while gritting her teeth together in bitterness.
Now, I know why she is mad.
What does the Alpha think of me? Some girl he can invite to his bed after having a session with another person?
