When We Were Mates (Demetra and Emris) novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102

Demetra Pride Covenant.

“I want to see my father. Get out of my way!”

I say it to the first damn Zeta or Delta I see. Well, Zetas…I guess from the stitch on their blue uniforms which is a tiny silver crescent moon that screams we follow orders, we don’t think for ourselves.

“Apologies, Luna, but the Alpha has made it clear that you are not allowed in”

They repeat the same thing they have said a hundred times already. Same words. Same flat voices. Same faces that won’t even look me in the eye.

“What is GOING on in there?” I look at the thick metal door with my glare.

“We’re not sure. The Alpha made all of us leave-”

“Do you even know ANYTHING!?” I yell.

“Demetra?”

Teddy comes in from the second main door, pushing her glasses up to her hair. I close my eyes in relief cause…..finally, someone who is a part of the family that I can actually talk to unlike these robotic Zetas with their rehearsed apologies.

“Thank the moons, Teddy-”

I’m about to say more when a chunk of Delta staff starts turning toward me with Arieth in front of them.

“Luna, you are not allowed in there!” Arieth

says.

Instead of even giving her that attention, I face Teddy.

“Eden already asked me the same thing about what’s going on in there,” Teddy says quickly, like she’s trying to get ahead of my panic. “But, I bet you… if my brother was doing something treacherous, the Zetas would have gone in cause Silver is in there. And Silver is basically the brains of this pack. He’s Emris’s Beta, and has common sense.”

She squeezes my arm. “So stop worrying. I’m sure it’s fine.”

“Are you sure?” I ask, hating how small

my voice sounds.

“I swear it.” Teddy looks into my eyes with such sincerity that I have no choice but to believe her.

“Luna, you’ve not had breakfast yet-” Arieth starts again.

“Can you just… disappear like some?” I turn to her. Completely evaporated. “I know where the kitchen is. And I don’t need you to gather every Delta in the pack house just because you wanna talk to me.”

Arieth fixes a smile on her tight face that says I am tolerating you because I have to.

“Of course, Luna.”

I fold

my arms

and breathe hard through my nose, trying not to let the frustration eat me alive.

I’m angry right now.

Chapter 102

ppp.

The kind that makes your hands shake because your body wants to do something and your pride won’t let it.

“You know…. get me canvas and paint. I just remembered that Emris gave me a job to do.”

What I want to do is paint.

Painting is the only thing that will keep me from thinking too hard about what Emris did to me today. Plus, I remember I also have a working contract with him.

I should have known it would never end well the moment he walked into my office. Talking about offices…I haven’t been to my office in a while. Well, I’m still watching Amira’s health, and I cannot leave her in this place by myself yet. Even though it seems guarded, her nanny isn’t here yet.

I don’t even know what my schedule is going to look like henceforth. I probably need to sit down and think about it. But right now, I have to worry about my family.

My father is in that room and I can’t do anything about it.

“Where should we set that up?” Arieth asks.

“You know what… never mind.” I also remember that Emris gave me access to the Alpha Wing so I might just go there and get everything out of my mind. Teddy thinks the only thing I’m upset by is what’s happening right now.

She has no idea that moments before this, I was stupidly straddling the damn wolf I’m not supposed to have anything to do with. Him and his… his curse of a body. His wicked way of kissing. His wicked length. Everything.

I hate him. I hate him for what he did to me.

I just walk past them and head to the Alpha Wing. No one needs to tell me where anything is because I’ve lived here all of my life.

As I walk past the garage, a memory of the second time Emris slept with me rampages through my mind and I gasp!

It was at the back of his Ferrari. It was after the night I really understood what sex was like. I was out of my mind shy, utterly. embarrassingly out of my mind…only for him to pull off my maid uniform and claim me there cause he was on heat.

The things this bastard has put me through are the reasons I’m addicted to him.

DEMETRA…how…how could you SLEEP with him after he pulled that stunt with Slade? After he threatened your family!?

I shut the Alpha Wing door behind me and lean against it for a sec.

All dark wood and grey tones and that stupid scent of his that’s everywhere…cedar…. smoke.

I set the canvas and squeeze out paint onto the palette. I mix them together and as I mix; I think about all the naïve sex I’ve had with him.

Let’s not forget when he took me on my small…maid bed in the housekeeper–quarters. The bed frame snapped under us and that was when he decided it was going to be in his room always.

And then in his room, he got me addicted. His kiss. The way he said my name like it was something precious. Of course, I fell completely in love with him and now he has ruined me forever.

I am vividly crashing out, but I’m doing it in the form of art instead. Moving my brushes through the paint, transferring the exact image in my head onto the canvas. What I want to see is someone PUNCHING that damn smirk off his face.

So that’s what I do.
