Longing For My Rejected Luna novel Chapter 20

*****Erika's POV*****

"What?! That mean brat!" Kat exclaimed in anger.

Paula had told her everything I had told her that had transpired between Serenity, I and Alex.

"Exactly. How could she go to that extreme?" It was obvious both of them were getting really angry over the issue.

I was angry too, but I was also worried. "Is it abnormal to say I am worried?"

"Worried? Why will you be worried?" This was from Kat.

I shrugged. "I don’t know"

"Are you responsible for her injury?" Paula asked me.

"No!" I yelled.

"Did you stab her then?"

I glared at both my friends, it was as though I was being interviewed.

"No, I did nothing!" I replied.

"So why should you be worried? Kat can you hear her? Are you sure she’s alright?" Paula directed to Kat.

"Let her be, With time, she’ll learn to be strong"

Kat said.

"You know, as the heiress apparent of Iron Claw pack, you can do better, Erika" This was from Kat, using my name.

"I second her statement, Erika" Paula put in. She got up to undo the zip of her denim and removed the material. Like Kay, she was left with her underwear as well.

I sighed and collapsed on my bed. I was not a pushover but then again, I was not Katerina Greywood or Paula Blackthorn.

I really did not know how to bring people down, I did not have the heart to do to people what they did to me. As much as I was angry with Alexander, I knew I was still soft-hearted towards him.

If I saw him now, I would still be tempted to talk to him.

Though, the way I’d put on that stoic demeanor when the ceremony was about to start, it was all a façade.

I had felt deeply every bit of it. I exhaled deeply.

My friends were right, I needed to be strong but then again, I did not think it was something I could achieve in a day.

Moreover, that part of my life was over, the only thing I wished was for Serenity to survive this and once the news got to me that she did, I was free.

I would focus on my new life and become the Alpha I was born to be.

"Are you thinking again?" Kat caressed my arm.

"Of course, you can see she is. It's written all over her face" Paula peered into my face.

"You guys are lucky" I said, my tone trembling.

I saw them exchange concerned glances before flanking both sides, each of them lying beside me and holding my hands.

I reveled in that comforting contact. "The Moon Goddess will bless you with a better mate, Darling" Kat soothed.

"Have faith, Erika. You’ll be happy once again" Paula supported.

I just realized I was scared of being alone. I had everything anyone ever pray to have. Everything except one. A mate to love and respect me.

And I couldn't tell them that father said couldn't be mated to anyone again.

"Until then, you be the girl I know you to be" This was from Paula. "Even in Alex's house, you were still a wonderful person, despite the things you were going through"

"I was putting up a pretense, Paula"
