Falling For My Cruel Mate novel Chapter 35

"I just spoke the truth." She sobered up from her laughing and removed the robe and pulled on the blush pink dress she had chosen earlier today. I zipped it up for her and helped her with the clasp on the choker she picked out.

She put on her nude heels and moved into the closet to take a look at herself in the full length mirror. She fluffed up her hair and smoothed out her dress. "Oh shit."

I raise a brow at her, a bit confused. "Is everything alright?"

"What if I actually find someone to be my mate tonight?" She asked, turning around to face me. She fiddled with her fingers and I could tell she was a bit overwhelmed with emotions.

"That is the best thing that could happen tonight." I reassure her and take her hands in mine. "Cipher, you're a total catch and everyone there is going to be taken with you. So, just relax and remember to have fun." I give her a warm smile.

"Ugh, you're seriously the sweetest thing I've ever seen in my whole existence." She pulled me into a hug and whispered a small thank you before we separated.

We found our way down stairs where Ajax and Samuel were waiting along with a few other people. There were two other males and a female. She was dressed similarly to Cipher and I, except her red fire like hair was pulled up into a neat high pony tail. She was gorgeous of course.

"Luna." They bowed their heads respectfully once I reached them.

"You all look amazing." I said, giving them a warm smile. It's been a few weeks and I still feel a bit shocked when people bowed their heads to me. Their respect was held very highly in my heart. Being here has been hard and surrounding myself with the rest of the pack members has helped me a lot.

"As do you, Luna." Weston says with a dazzling smile. I recognized him from the spontaneous pack training sessions that Ajax held. He was Ajax's third in command and in charge of making sure that everyone was in shape and ready for battle.

Ajax sent him a cold glare, but I ignored it and thanked him for his kindness. At least one of these men knew how to treat a lady. "Let's go." Ajax huffed and moved towards me, placing his large hand on the small of my back and nudging me forward. I roll my eyes at him. He walks around as if he doesn't want me but as soon as someone else shows the slightest bit of interest, I "belong" to him.

He helped me get inside of the sleek black truck and I slid all the way over to the window seat. Cipher and Samuel were in the truck behind us. While Weston and his two friends would be in the truck in front of us.

We sat in silence for the majority of the ride, before I let out a heavy sigh. I was completely bored. I bet that Cipher and Samuel were laughing it up in the truck behind us. I felt like my vocal cords were going to shrivel up and die if I stood silent any longer.

I could feel Ajax's hard glare on my face, I ignore it again and cross my arms over my chest. I couldn't help but be frustrated with the situation I was put in.

"Is something not up to your standards, princess?" He asked mockingly, his stupidly cold glare still on me. I roll my eyes.
