Luna's Deadly Deception: How She Made Her Alpha Pay novel Chapter 126

I hummed out a reply, inching even closer to him. Ignoring every other person in the function and pretending they didn’t exist came easier than I expected it to be.

“You on the other hand, could work on not bringing up said arguments.” His hands wrapped around my waist like it was something natural and easy.

“Where’s the fun in that?” I smirked.

“And somehow you’re the innocent one.” There was a glint of amusement in his eyes.

His hands slowly traced an outline on my waist, pulling me even closer to him. My eyes flicked to Julia who was oddly watching us with an attentive look in her eyes.

The jealousy was written all over her face as she watched us. It was hard not to imagine how pissed she was just looking at us.

There was also something else. It looked like disappointment, and…regret. Keith who had silently been watching us together obviously couldn’t take it anymore.

He marched down to us with Julia still by his side. His eyes flicked over Quentin for a moment before he turned to me.

“You should be thanking Julia.” He huffed.

I raised an eyebrow. “For?”

“If she hadn’t rejected Quentin back then, all this wouldn’t even exist. You wouldn’t have the chance you do now to be with Quentin.”

The pieces of the puzzle were slowly clicking in my head. Keith slowly twirled Julia around and complimented her features.

“I mean, just look at this woman.” He grinned. “It’s not every day you get to see such a beauty.”

“Oh my goodness.”

The crowd was also egging her own, throwing compliments left and right. It seemed like every other person in the room found it hard to look away from her.

A couple of men turned to Quentin, a look of pity in their eyes. To them, he had fumbled a woman like Julia and had suffered the ultimate loss.

When a woman whispered that she wondered if Quentin had been forced to be with me, my final string of patience snapped.

“That’s enough.” I said to Keith in a calm tone.

He turned to me, a look of irritation in his eyes. “What is it?”

I fixed my attention on Julia, making a point of ignoring him. “Which Miss Werewolf contest did you win?”

“What?” she asked.
