129 SALACIOUS SMIRK
Blue walked down the corridor, her expression was pure blank, her gaze looked distant, as her mind reeled with the information that she just learned from Meredith.
She knew this day would come, that Alpha Xerxes’s obsession to make her the Luna of this pack was an unavoidable issue, but when she had to face it head on and the topic would be a discussion soon, Blue felt her head spinning at that fact alone.
Not to mention the fact that Meredith let her in on just before she walked out of the room.
“Emmet is my mate,” she admitted it to her, her teary eyes looking at Blue with a sense of helplessness, she was almost unable to speak the next words to her when she pleaded. “Please, Zuri, I can’t see you with him... please leave this pack...”
Meredith did not only want Blue to leave the pack because she was worried about her safety and well being, but no matter what odd situation that they were in, the two of them were still mates.
How could your true mate watch you with someone else?
Meredith didn’t harbor ill intentions toward Blue, but the stupid mate bond that tied them together was something significant that she could ignore in the least.
The pain to see your mate with someone else was too cruel for someone so gentle like Meredith.
“How long have you known about this?” Blue had asked her before she walked out of her room.
.....
“Since I turned eighteen.” It meant it was two years ago. It was insane for Emmet to say nothing about her and for Meredith to hold back her own feelings.
“I will take care of it.”
That was the only answer that Blue could give to Meredith, though she didn’t know how to handle this situation, but at least Meredith knew how much she hated the idea of being the luna of this pack, especially to be Emmet’s mate, it was insane and to think about it alone made her feel sick in the stomach.
“Come in.” Alpha Xerxes’ voice travelled from behind the door the moment Blue knocked on it. Her steps were very heavy, or was it her heart? She couldn’t see the difference.
Inside the room, there were Alpha Xerxes, Emmet and Liam.
The three of them had their own opinion and thoughts regarding the issue that they would talk about and all of their thoughts were vivid from the look on their expressions.
“Sit,” Alpha Xerxes told Blue, nodding at the sofa opposite from him, next to Liam.
Blue was slightly glad that she was arranged to sit down next to Liam instead of his bastard brother, thus she walked around the table and sat her ass on the lime green sofa, a color she found so tacky.
“I don’t want to beat around the bush in this matter, since you already know about this...” However, before Alpha Xerxes could continue his explanation, Blue had cut him off.
“No.” The single word sounded very powerful and firm, her eyes fixed on the Alpha when she said that.
The three men at the table were slightly taken aback with that strong rejection, but Alpha Xerxes had gotten used to the way Blue reacted and her bold nature and he liked it, that was how a Luna was supposed to be.
“No?” Alpha Xerxes raised his brows. He leaned his back and folded his arms, as if he was going to enjoy the biggest show of his life. “What do you mean by ‘no’? Do you think you have another choice?”
Blue knew it would come to this point, so she didn’t want to hold herself back any longer. “I will not have Emmet as my mate, whatever you say, I will never do it.”
Emmet snickered when he heard that, but Liam moved in his seat nervously, he looked like he wanted to tell Blue to stop her rebellion, but he couldn’t find any words, nor his courage to utter a single word.
“Ah... Zuri...” Alpha Xerxes sighed, as if she had missed a great opportunity that she would come across only once in her entire life. “Unfortunately, you don’t have a say in this. I brought you here only to inform you that the mating ceremony will be held on your eighteenth birthday, my dear.”
Blue usually didn’t really care about her birthday, as it was only another passing day that she would hate, but at the mention of it, she tried to calculate in her head when it would happen.
Her eighteenth birthday would be within four days from now.
Shit.
Blue gritted her teeth with that revelation and Emmet seemed to enjoy every reaction that she expressed on her face. He smirked and Blue had this urge to claw across his face.
“I will not consent to it and you can’t force me,” Blue said in a low voice, but there was a warning note in her tone. She mimicked what Alpha Xerxes did and folded her arms defensively, while leaning against the back of the sofa.
“Why not?” Alpha Xerxes was amused by Blue’s response. He liked the way she always challenged him, but in the end, he would come out as the winner. “You don’t want to be a Luna, but a warrior for the rest of your life? Fighting those stupid humans without having true power for yourself?”
At this point, Emmet looked bored with the topic, because he knew what the outcome would be and Blue only wasted their time by arguing over it. He zoned out, thinking about what he would do to her on the night of their mating ceremony. It would be fun... a salacious smile tugged on the corners of his lips and that didn’t go unnoticed by Blue.
“How can you make me his mate when he already found his own true mate?” Blue cut off Alpha Xerxes’ word again.
“What?!” Alpha Xerxes was shocked.
