CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Book:THE SUPREME ALPHA'S HATED LUNA Published:2024-11-20

Skye’S POV.
The entire castle has been buzzing about the coronation that’s going to take place this weekend and I’m thoroughly pissed off right now. This is very unfair. The subjects of the pack are all excited to meet someone they know nothing about. They aren’t even sure if she’s going to be a good Luna. They don’t know if she’s going to make the Alpha lead the wrong way. They know absolutely nothing about her, yet, they are head over heels for her and I think that’s really stupid on their part.
It would have been a lot better if she was a member of this pack and was from a respectable family. I would’ve feared her and kept my distance. But now, she’s not only a stranger, but a wretched one and it feels so wrong to be me that she’s goingt to be ruling over this pack alongside our Alpha.
It seems so unfair and I won’t give up so easily.
Right now, I’m heading over to the Alphas office to talk to him again. Maybe there’s still a chance for me to talk some sense into him.
Alora being his mate doesn’t necessarily mean he should accept her. He can reject her and choose someone else. If he feels sorry for her, he can let her stay in the pack and live a much better life. He seriously doesn’t have to go through with this ridiculous plan.
“Who let you into my office?” Is the first question he asks the moment I step into his office. Calmly, quietly, I close the door behind me and walk over to the sitting area where he’s seated with his face buried in a newspaper.
“I might have told a lie or two to the guards downstairs.” I say calmly. He closes the newspaper and looks up at me. His eyes never fail to charm me whenever I look into them. They are a dark shade of brown. Somewhere between chocolate and brown. Dreamy and just looking into them makes me fall in love with him all over again.
One chance is all I ask for.
I need just one genuine chance to be with Alpha Jayce so I can prove to him that I’m a better woman for him, not that slave girl, Alora.
“I’m going to have them severely punished for being gullible. Why are you here?”
“To talk.”
“There’s nothing for us to talk about.” He rises to feet and walks over to the transparent floor to ceiling glass window where he shoves both hands into his trouser pockets and looks out like he is lost.
“Alpha Jayce.” I call with my calmest voice and contemplate whether to join him at the window or not.
I don’t think that’ll be a good idea. It would be too audacious for me to do that.
He turns to look at me and I almost melt on my spot.
“I heard about the upcoming coronation.”
“What about it?” He asks tightly.
Goodness, he truly dreads being in my presence. A few weeks ago, I would’ve been sitting on his lap with his tongue down my throat but right now, he’s looking at me like I’m some piece of trash he’s dying to get rid of.
It hurts.
It really, truly hurts.
I swallow the painful lumb and clear my throat.
“Are you really dumping me to be with Alora?”
“We’ve already had this talk, Skye. I don’t want to talk about my mate with you. The ceremony will take place as you have heard and there’s nothing you can do about it.”
“You don’t have to accept her just because she’s your mate.”
“Are you trying to tell me what to do?”
“No… of course not.” I vigorously shake my head in denial. His intense gaze is boring holes in my body. “I’m just giving a suggestion.”
“And what makes you think it’ll be welcome?” I go mute. He takes a few steps closer to me. Now we are just a few inches away from each other and the wildest thought crosses my mind.
Maybe I should just take him by surprise and kiss him. Maybe that’s what’s needed to break the spell Alora has on him.
A true love’s kiss.
“I…I…” I stutter nervously.
“Skye. I’ve had it with you showing up in my presence and talking absolute bullshit. Let this be the last time this happens. The only reason why I haven’t ordered for you to be thrown in the dungeon is because I’ve seen you naked and I respect you for that.”
“You mean, felt me? You’ve felt me.” I step forward and try to touch him and boy… he slaps my hand away. I feel like I’ve been shocked by five thousand kilowatts of electricity.
“Get out of my office before I change my mind. Now!” He orders and as much as I want to stay and convince him, I don’t want to be thrown in the dungeon so I turn around and do the walk of shame out of the office with tears burning in my eyes.
This is not how I wanted this conversation to end.
Alpha Jayce is cruel!
Jayce’S POV.
For the rest of the day, I bury myself in paperwork and push Skye’s stupid words at that far end of my mind.
“You don’t have to accept her just because she is your mate.”
She was mad to have ever thought of saying something like that to me.
The next time she makes such a ridiculous utterance, I will have her severely punished.
I was so upset with her that I completely forgot to scold her about being mean to Alora when they met, but on second thought, I think it was a good thing I didn’t. That could’ve have prolly provoked her to go right ahead and tell Alora about my past with her. That’s not something I’m ready to let Alora know right now.
I feel like my past is catching up with me right now.
