Alpha’s Rue: His Shunned Luna (Athena Enchanted) novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9

AELIANA

There hasn’t been a single second that I didn’t wish I had gone no contact, not one moment since I came back have I found a silver lining to my return. I’ve been nothing but miserable, it’s funny how I’m no longer that frail little gir,l and yet I’m treated just like her.

I’m being forced into this marriage and my father doesn’t care, Mom doesn’t either, she hasn’t stopped gushing about the engagement ring I received this morning, no doubt from Alpha Dante or Luna Estelle because Kingston doesn’t want anything to do with me.

“Liana baby, why didn’t you do your hair?” Mom asks again, for the fifth time since I got in the car. “You should have fixed yourself up.”

I did.

I have on enough clothes and makeup to hide the bruises Father gave me after he learned I was going to escape, and I can thank none other than my groom for that.

“How will you charm Kingston looking like this?” She scoffs. “You should have chosen something from Seraphine’s closet. She still has clothes at the house.”

“And risk having my hair pulled out? No thanks.” I swallow. I’d never touch anything belonging to Sera. “I have no desire to go near any of Seraphine’s clothes.”

Mom sighs, “What happened to you two, you girls were close?”

Close?

Just how blind has she been? Her daughter tried to kill me within the first year she entered my life. She pushed me out of my treehouse, and claimed I fell trying to push her, and from there everything went downhill.
