The Luna’s Pure Heart – Chapter 28

(Eleanor pov)

It’s been three days and I have hit a new all-time low..laying in bed for twelve hours straight and watching cheesy romance movies. Have I been crying for most of the time? Yes…am I ashamed? Also yes…

I refused to leave my room, taking my meals in here and being a complete baby. Honestly, I thought he would come by the second day but I guess I was wrong. Ugh what is wrong with me? Kari has pretty much been verbally abusing me and begging me to let her out. She wants to tell Damion a thing or two…I almost went for it too but then I remembered I was in the middle of ignoring him. I refused to be the first one to break.

Rolling over, I grabbed my bottle of water and chugged it. I just turned on a werewolf flick about two strangers being stranded on an island and falling in love when the door burst open.

“Okay, that’s enough moping around…come on Angel, get up.” Lance shouted, walking straight towards the window as he ripped the curtains open, causing me to wince from the sunlight.

“Ughh go away.” I g*****d, rolling over and putting a pillow over my head.

“Aren’t you afraid the King will behead you for speaking to me without permission?” I mumbled under the pillow.

Lance ripped the covers off, making me yelp as I gripped the pillow tighter.

“One thing about the Alpha King Angel…he is all bark and no bite…well..sometimes…okay maybe not really but I’m tired of seeing you two moping around and avoiding each other.” He went to the bathroom, turning on the shower as what he said finally registered.

“Wait…he has been moping around too?” I popped my head up, looking towards the bathroom as Lance poked his head out.

“In his own way…let’s just say he is verbally abusing anyone that breathes wrong..not to mention the holding cells are getting quite full.” He muttered, looking through my closet as I blinked rapidly…so he was having a hard time too. Then why didn’t he come for me? Is he really that stubborn?

“Well..it’s his choice..” I pouted, crossing my arms as I looked away from Lance.

“Angel, I guess he made his choice then..today is the day of the party for the packs to meet up. He asked me to get you ready.” Lance smiled brightly, pulling out a few dresses that I didn’t even realize were in there.

“P..party?!” I stuttered…he wanted me to go? And why did he ask Lance to get me ready? That seemed odd.

“He wanted you to get me?” I asked suspiciously, seeing the corners of his mouth twitch.

“Well…in a sense..he asked me to get ‘someone’ to get you ready..probably Piper…let’s be honest..but he didn’t say her name directly.” He smirked, his eyebrow-raising as he looked at me.

“You might just get beheaded..” I proclaimed, feeling like Lance didn’t have an ounce of fear in that body of his. Maybe Lucas had enough for both of them.

Lance laughed loudly, walking over towards me as he pointed to the bathroom.

“Come on Angel, go shower…let’s show that King what he has been missing.” He said enthusiastically and I could barely muster up the strength to stand. I guess this was better than nothing..he actually wanted me to go to the party with him. Where the realm packs will attend..maybe be really did change his mind.

I lugged myself into the bathroom and shut the door, hearing some type of music start to play in my bedroom. I guess Lance is making himself at home.

I stripped off my clothes and walked into the scalding hot water, washing all the lazy and depressed feelings away. He wanted me to go to the party…was he going to announce I am his mate?! Maybe absence really does make the heart grow fonder. I scrubbed my hair and then washed my body, starting to get those jitters to fill my body as I tried to think of what to expect. I remember Alpha Richard and his higher ranks leaving to go to the Kings event..wait..shit..would they be here?! My heart suddenly dropped…I quickly stepped out of the shower and wrapped a large towel around myself.

If Alpha Richard comes, there is no way he can take me back with him is there? Not since I am mated to the Alpha King…

‘Elle, reject the pack now. Then there will be no possible way they can stake their claim.’

Kari linked to me, making me nod my head as I closed my eyes, trying to focus.

I took a deep breath and let it out slowly. I needed to do this…I needed to be free of B***d Moon.

“I, Eleanor Winters, Reject The B***d Moon Pack and hereby accept my status as Rogue.” I spoke confidently, the words tumbling out of my mouth as I get that connected snap. A sense of freedom filled me as my chest suddenly felt hollow…like whatever weighed me down before had suddenly lifted and I was now free.

“Good job, I’m proud of you Angel.” Lance spoke, startling me completely as I let out a shriek.

“For goddess sake Lance.” I gasped, my hand gripping my chest as he chuckled softly while leaning against the door.

“Hey, it’s not my fault you didn’t lock the door. Plus we’re werewolves…we hear everything remember.” He grinned mischievously and I fought the urge to chuck a shampoo bottle at his head.

“Now get to it, we have an Alpha to punish. Wait until he sees who the King’s mate is..now won’t that be satisfying Angel.” His eyes were burning, the mere thought seeming to excite him as that pit in my stomach just got even bigger.

So Alpha Richard would be there…and what did he mean punish him? Maybe I should have just stayed in bed and found out if those two strangers on the island do end up together…
