Chapter 187
“Luna Elizabeth, would you like something to drink before dinner?” Tonga asked.
Please call me Elizabeth or Eli,I said. Formalities felt weird. She nodded.
“I would like a glass of water, please,” I said, sitting on the counter stool. Alec had brought me some water.
“I hate sparkling water,” I grimaced.
“Me too! I feel like people pretend to like it,” Tonga agreed. Harry came in, looking smug. What happened?
I felt my mate behind me.
My mate will be staying here with me,” he announced. I gaped, my eyes widening.
“I said I’d think about it,” I reminded him.
“It won’t take long, and then you can come here,” I decided not to answer him. Aerys Chasia seemed to be a determined man.
I glanced at Harry, nodding at his silent question. Aerys went on to introduce the men in the room and their positions. Coen was
a young warrior, and the other bulky man, Tommy, was a tracker. I greeted them politely.
”
Can you tell us a bit about yourself?” Aerys told me.
My name is Elizabeth Valord. I’m 24 years old and a businesswoman,” I kept it short. They nodded, impressed.
An older woman,” Coswell smirked. I stared at my mate. He blushed a little. It was so cute. He was embarrassed about being younger than me. In reality, I was older than most people. I decided to tease him,
Little alpha,” I whispered. His friends laughed at him. He growled at them, but it was all jokes.
Our eyes locked, and the world seemed to fade away. Everything was gone except us.
“So, Valord, interesting name,” Coen said, getting us out of our trance. Valord was my family name. I didn’t drop it when I left
the castle.
“It’s common where I’m from,”
“And where are you from?” he asked. Everyone was looking at me, waiting for my answer.
We moved from place to place before we settled in this region centuries ago. How was I supposed to know?
Well, I mean, the name has been in my family for generations,” I answered smoothly. Coen didn’t like me as he had a crush on his alpha. He would cause trouble for me.
“So, are you affiliated with other vampires? Because you know your ex is a vampire, right?” Coen continued. I crossed my arms against my chest,
“No, I just know Harry.”
“How? Are you his blood bank?” he asked.
Aerys growled,” Has Harry hurt you before? Did you once wake up without any recollection of your memories? Is that why you were in love with him? Vampires can mind-control humans.” I pushed him away from me. I was angry that he’d even say that.
“No! Harry is my friend. I trust him with my life. “I seethed. “I’m leaving. Let’s go, Harry,” I left the kitchen angrily. Aerys followed after me and gently held my arms.
I’m sorry. I was just scared that he hurt you,” he said, looking sad. He placed his forehead over mine. All the anger I felt earlier was gone. Is this what it feels like to have a mate? Their touch was calming.

“Harry has never hurt me,” I felt the urge to confirm. He rubbed his warm hands on my bare shoulders.
“It’s cold. You’re cold. Itbring you something warm to wear, okay?” he said gently, and I nodded. He went upstairs.
Harry joined me in the hallway. He smiled and wrapped a hand around my arm. I instinctively rested my head on his arm. A mighty growl startled me.
Don’t touch my mate. She. Is. Mine,” Aerys growled. I groaned, hating that he thought of me as his, like I was some property. I left Harry’s side and went to Aerys. I wouldn’t want him to attack or go ballistic like last time. Harry raised his hand, showing he meant no harm. Aerys placed the black coat he brought on my shoulder. I murmured, thanks. He kissed my temple, making my heart skip a bit.
