Longing For My Rejected Luna novel Chapter 76

*****Erika’s POV*****

“Yes, I know Rika. I know how much you have been hurt but he’s here. And I’m sure just as you are that he has been waiting. Even after you left him there, he has been waiting. Have mercy, Rika.” She was feeling pity for him? What had happened to Kat? I might had expected this from Paula but Kat? And I could actually see the pity written all over face.

“He only came because he needs Iron Claw’s help. He needs my power and my guards.” I did not want to allow myself fall trap that he was actually deserving of pity.

Alex did not deserve my pity, he did not deserve my sympathy. I was not even supposed to allow him entrance talk more of audience. As soon as I had seen him, I should had thrown him out of my pack, but I had not. Still, he would not get help easy from me. Any help I rendered to him would come at a price.

“That may be, Rika. But you need to at least, go see him alone. Hear what he has to say.” Kat advised.

“I have no problem listening to what he has to say but you and I will go. That’s the only way, if he really wants my help.”

Kat stared at me for a while.

Feeling a bit uncomfortable, I moved away a bit. “What? Why are you looking at me that way?”

“Do you still like him?” Kat raised a brow at me.

I stiffened, a scowl appearing on my face. “What do you mean by that?”

“I mean, why are you scared to be with him in a room? Just the two of you.”

“Who told you I’m scared?” The scowl deepened. I really did not like where Kat was leading this discussion. How did we end up here? Why would she even think that?

“Then why are you against being with him in a room?” She was looking at me expectantly.

“I am not..” I paused when I realized I was raising my voice. I narrowed my annoyed gaze at her.

She merely shrugged, a small smile playing on her lips. “You’re not what?”

“I’m not against being with him in the room but I do not want to. I told you what he had done.” I was beginning to grow upset. What the hell was wrong was Kat? Why was she even bringing up topics like this?

She was pretending as though she had not been aware when he had done everything he had done to me. The times I’d cried, they knew about it. The pains, the humiliation and every other circumstance I’d gone through in his household, Kat and Paula had been aware of everything.

Why was she pretending as though she had no knowledge of it? Why was she doing as though I had not called her whenever he would make me cry?

“I know everything that had happened between you two when you were still with him but you’re bigger than whatever payback you’re going for.”

“What are you saying, Katherina?” I had both my hands fisted by my sides.

“See, I understand you Rika. I would be lying if I said I didn’t, and as your best friend, I support whatever you plan to do to him, frankly, he deserves it, but why don’t you go see him. It’s not like he would try something funny with you in your own mansion. This is your territory, Rika, not his.”
