Longing For My Rejected Luna novel Chapter 75

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

“Alpha. My Lady.” She bowed to us.

I tried to observe her expression but there was nothing to see. “How are you?”

“I’m fine, Alpha.”

Kat looked at her. “What are you doing all by yourself here?”

“Nothing. Just watching the ceremony from here.” She pointed towards the entrance Kat and I had been about to go sneak a peek from. There were no maids in the ceremony, they were all busy trying to keep the mansion running clean, it was just the guards that were in there and not all of them.

They had been ordered to be there for security and protection, to ensure nothing went wrong with the ceremony.

“Ah, so you want to be a part of the celebration?” I asked her, a smile forming on my face.

For some reason, I really liked Melisse and like I had stated earlier, she was not my personal maid but these days, I preferred having her around more and handling whatever it was I wanted done.

Maybe it was because she was smart and all. I really liked people who were smart, Melisse was one of those people. Despite the fact she was a maid, she was still very intelligent and it drew me closer to her.

She smiled coyly. “I would not mind but there’s no other maid in there, moreover, I know the rules so I’m quite contented watching from here.”

I looked at Kat, she returned the look. I would have loved to take her to my room and help her look good but Paula and Gage were in there, I would not want to disturb them.

“I..”

“Alpha Blackwood.”

Even before I turned to see the face, I already knew the owner of the voice. I would recognize it anywhere and any time. My ex-mate and husband, Alpha Alexander. What else did he want? Was he ready to listen to my own terms and conditions?

I wanted to smile, I was tempted to but I withheld myself from smiling. I did not want him to see me smile. Kat gave me a subtle nudge to turn around, I looked away and intentionally ignored his presence behind me for what seemed like forever but was actually few seconds to be exact.

“You can go away now, Melisse. We’ll talk later.” I smiled at her.

She beamed and bowed politely. “Thank you, Alpha.” She turned to Kat. “My Lady.” Then she walked out of our presence.

I heard her greetings to Alpha Alexander, and her fading footsteps. With a slow, deliberate turn, I faced him. “Yes, Alpha Robertson?”

“Can we talk?” He stood staring at my face.

“Have you thought about the terms and conditions?” I refused to acknowledge how handsome he had looked to me and how handsome he still was.

“I require your presence alone, please.” He was a desperate man and he looked like a desperate man.

“I do not have the time to waste, Alpha Robertson. As you can see, today is my coronation and I am supposed to be there with my people celebrating the beginning of my reign.” I was intentionally throwing my position and reputation in his face. It might look and sound petty, I did not care. I was ready to go every shade and kind of petty there was.
