DAVINA’S POV
Tristan’s unexpected defense and support left me perplexed, but I breathed a sigh of relief.
“Tristan!” My voice quivered as I reached out to hold his hands. Surprised, he allowed me to feel his warm arms with mine as I took a moment to run my gaze at his. He did that in seconds and turned his face away.
“Candace, I warned you about disrespecting your Luna, did I not?” Tristan asked coldly as he firmly stared at her…
“I didn’t mean to Alpha, I was just worried and at the same time, I’m curious-
“About what?!” Tristan interjected with a fierce and concerned expression. I won’t say concerned though, but he had his full attention on her, which obviously is what she wants: attention. Okay, now I know he loves attention and he loves to get the same attention back.
“Alpha Tristan?” I called him with a worried voice. “I think you should take a rest and cancel tonight’s party,” I said, with pure intention.
“Yes, I would. I know the rest is necessary, but it’s another pack party that requires my presence. You should go back to your room and have your maids get you ready,” he responded. However, his last sentence sounded more like an order, and at that moment, I was not ready to obey his command.
“Candace, you said you are curious about something?” He asked again and she nodded…
“I mean, it’s weird for you to pass out which is something that never happened before. I was just curious.” She uttered. I rolled my eyes after seeing no meaning to her excuse.
“Everyone should leave the room. Except for the Luna.” He ordered, not taking his eyes off me. Oh moon goddess, can you make me disappear?! I can’t bear standing alone with him while I have the mind to argue with his decision.
“Hey, you girls, I mean, the Luna maids should stay outside.” I steal a few glances at Juanita and she had a cold face.
“What was I expecting?!” I scoffed while I rolled my eyes.
“You seem not to agree with my decision, may I know why?”There, his question was out in the air.
“I want to apologize for that, I never intended to disagree with the Alpha I was just worried, scared, and wanted to be sure the Alpha stands in safety first!” I explained that I pressed my face against my legs, clasped my sweaty hands together, and bit my lower lip.
He laughed, wait, that was sarcastic laughter! He laughed as he promenaded to the bed.
“Do you think I’m that weak?! Do you think something minor can have me down?!” Now his authoritative voice stood out.
“I never claimed, nor have I thought of you as weak, Alpha! I was just worried about your safety.”
“Why are you worried?” He asked while his back was facing me.
“I felt it- I felt something was wrong with you. My heart seized for a minute while I was having my bath. It was a painful moment that I wanted it to stop… I paused to realize my eyes were a little teary, and he did not have his back to mine. His face was so fixed on mine, watching every movement I made…
He gave me the “go on” look and I nodded…
“The pain stopped, and I asked Lexie what happened. She told me something was wrong with you. She was trying to connect with Grey but got no response. That’s why I rushed over here, only to find you lying lifeless.” I took a deep breath and raised my head.
I returned my gaze to him and he did the same…
“You know Candace was right about this happening for the first time. But whatever happened must have a reason-
That was why I was worried, I cut in. Maybe we can see something to it?” I suggested and he shook his head against the idea…
“You should leave that to me. Go and get ready for the party I will join you shortly.” He instructed and I nodded. I spare him a glance before taking the exit. I bend the door knob and I saw Cassy pacing to and fro I shut the door quietly and they all turn their gaze at me.
“Oh, moon goddess.”Cassy rushes up to me with a worried face.
“Can we get you ready, Luna Davina,” Juanita asked coldly. I nodded but Cassy pulled my arm with a worried expression.
“Did he yell at you, you shouldn’t have disagreed with his decision.” She asked, getting all emotional…
“Control yourself!” Juanita scolded as she pulled Cassy away from the way…
“Can we get you ready Luna?”
“Yeah..” I responded and we walked back to my room. I looked at Cassy with a wink and she smiled.
MINUTES AFTER
It was hard to settle with this (Lace Applique Fitted Dress) I stood in front of the full tall mirror, quietly checking myself out.
“Are you fine with the dress?” Carla’s voice came behind me…
“What do you think?”
“It’s looking gorgeous on you. You look better and beautiful in it, Luna.” She flattered me, making my lips curve up with smiles.
I turn around “I will take this, I look okay in it.”
“Okay is an understatement Luna… You look breathtaking in this dress.” Cassy dropped a compliment.
“There are other colors of this dress if you would love to try them out,” Juanita recommended…
“Oh no. I’m fine with this.” I mumbled, getting my heels… The door burst open and the Alpha walked.
“Is the Luna ready?” He asked, not taking his eyes off me.
“Yes, My Alpha.” They responded in unison. Alpha Tristan took steps closer and closer to me. He stood in front of me, bringing forth his hand.
“Are you ready?” He asked and I hesitated before nodding.
“Yeah.” That being said, I placed my hand on him and we walked out of my room. I spare my girls a glance and they swerve their heads. Cassy looked up, our eyes came in contact.
We winked at each other and I looked away…
“You look gorgeous by the way…” He whispered, hoping I didn’t get that, but I did.
“Wait, was that from Tristan?!”
