SAVED BY THE LYCAN KING (Elisa) novel Chapter 39

GINA'S POV

I had never felt such anger boiling in my veins. Jackson had the audacity to compare me to Elise. Elise, of all people. I couldn't let that slide. This as all Elise's fault.

With Helen at my side, we stormed toward where Elise was. She was supposed to be washing guards in the backyard.

"I can't believe him!" I shrieked.

"I can't either. How dare he compare you to her? She's a nobody"

"Exactly! He has no right and neither does she"

When we got to the backyard, we saw Elise there. She was busy, hunched over a line of freshly washed clothes. She had her back to us. Perfect.

"What do you want to do now?" Helen asked.

"Just watch me," I muttered, my eyes narrowing at the sight of Elise. "She needs to know her place."

We reached the clothesline, and without a second thought, I pulled hard on the rope, sending the wet clothes into the dirt. Elise turned around. Her eyes were wide with shock and confusion. For a moment, there was silence as she took in the scene, then her eyes met mine.

"Gina, what are you doing?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly.

"It's Luna to you! Don't you ever call me by my name again"

Elise took a deep breath "Luna, what are you doing"

I smiled "Oh, just helping you out, Elise. Wouldn't want you to get too comfortable in your new position."

Elise's face flushed red. "I have no idea what's going on. I don't understand why you're doing this."

Helen stepped forward, crossing her arms over her chest. "Maybe if you weren't so busy playing the victim, you'd realize why."

I could see the hurt in Elise's eyes, and it only fueled my anger.

"Jackson compared you to me, can you believe that?" I spat out. "As if you could ever measure up."

Elise's eyes flickered with something I couldn't quite place—defiance maybe? "I'm not trying to measure up to anyone."

"That's because you can't," I snapped back. "You’re nothing but a maid now. Remember that."

She opened her mouth to respond, but I cut her off. "Oh, by the way, I'll be planning this year's Lunas gathering. It's in three days."

Her face paled when I said that. I could see how even more hurt she was. When she was Luna, she was the one who would plan it but now, I had taken over her position. I wanted to rub it in her face every chance I got.
