Chapter 96
I took my seat on Alpha Federico’s bed as I tried to relax my nerves from all that I had just done, Alpha Federico handed me a glass of water which I collected with a wide smile and gulped it in.
“I still can’t believe you did that to Isabelle and could still act cool about it.” Alpha Federico said followed by a chuckle, I smiled as I slowly sipped my water like it was wine…I couldn’t even tell how I felt, if I was being angry with myself for showing Alpha Federico I liked him.
Suddenly everything I said previously started coming back to me as I dropped the cup and covered my face in embarrassment.
I still couldn’t believe such words came out of my mouth. I told him I loved him!!
Alpha Federico noticed I was shy and pulled me in for a hug.
“I know you are a jealous kind but why would you take it to the extent of beating her almost to a coma.” He muttered to my cheek before kissing it gently.
“I didn’t know what hit over me but it’s not just about jealousy, I just hate Isabelle to the very core…she makes me hate myself for not standing up for myself when she took Kade away from me,” I muttered and then he stopped hugging me and stared deep into my eyes with a frown as he looked into my eyes like he was searching for something.
“Why do I feel like you still have little feelings for Kade?” Alpha Federico said to me but I immediately avoided his gaze. I knew deep within me that I didn’t have any feelings but I couldn’t say so because I always get angry whenever I saw Kade or even remember he rejected me like I was a nobody.
“I don’t love him but just as we all know I can’t just forget about the pull I had with him when we were mates, and mostly how Isabelle stole him from me…I’d still hurt and I know it’s not about me being selfish but that’s the truth, everyone who gets rejected by their mate always feels the pain for years.” I muttered to Alpha Federico who kept quiet and just stared at me like I was speaking gibberish.
“If only I had met my second chance mate then things would have been different, and maybe I would have even forgotten about my first mate quicker than I had anticipated,” I said but instead of Alpha Federico to smile or chuckle to my words he frowned.
“Why don’t you just take me as your mate, I am pretty sure you would never find him so stop trying to even find him, wherever he is.” Alpha Federico said and from the way he looked at me I knew he wasn’t joking one bit so I kept quiet, I knew he was angry because I talked about wanting my mate back.
“I am already your Luna and just by what I said before and would continue to say, I might not have loved or even cared a second about you but that doesn’t mean I don’t love you now…even I can’t believe I love you this way.” I said hoping to get his smile back but instead, he stood up and backed me like he wanted to say something, and whenever he did that I knew he had offended me and was about to tell me how badly he had wronged me.
“I am r we lot sorry if I have ever beaten you and maltreated and you know the funniest part when Isabelle had a little conversation with me she said some words to me that really entered my heart and for a split second there I thought I won’t ever get over it, but you walked in so ironically and placed Isabelle in her place someone could swear you heard what she said with the way you attacked her:” Alpha Federico said to me but still didn’t turn to face me.
I sat there thinking of what I was supposed to say, “Aren’t you going to say something?” Alpha Federico questioned as he turned to face me and I smiled awkwardly.
“I don’t know what else I am supposed to say to you, you haven’t even told me what Isabelle said to you,” I questioned he nodded understanding what I meant, and he sat beside me and held my hands with his.
“She said, you would leave…sooner or later you would leave me and when you do then I would realize you are a betrayal and only married me for my throne.” Alpha Federico said and I could feel my gut being so irritated by the mention of her name but I still needed to act really cool about it.
“I also heard rumors, you would marry another bride after me…I thought I was going to be the last. Why are there still rules claiming there is someone who you want as a new bride.” I muttered to him and he laughed out loudly.
“That is just bizarre, how can they say something like that? I don’t even have anyone I would find interesting like you and to top it all I am already tired of having different women fight about me.” Alpha Federico said and even though I knew him to be very manipulative, he still sounded so sincere to me.
“I am sure you won’t marry another, dealing with Lucy and her co is even annoying enough, and as your Luna, I still hate that I have to share you and why do you continue to delay the celebration when I am supposed to be your Luna already.”
“That doesn’t change anything, do you even know how much gut it took for me to place you at that seat, currently the council elders are calling me a fool for what I did.” He said you are a fool because I am going to use you.
