426-4 Still Have A Family
“You are going to drag me forcibly?” I folded my arms, hiding the shaking of my body behind my composed posture. Lazlo clenched his fists but didn’t dare come between me and the guards.
Corbin let out a chuckle and shook his head, stepping away from me and gesturing at the guards to back off.
“Drag you with me? Who do you think I am? Your s*distic mates?” He grinned when folding his arms behind his back, “It was just to show you if I want, I can take you by force,” his tone changed and the seriousness in his eyes flashed, “but I wouldn’t do that. Not because I am afraid of your harmless threats, but because I am over you! I don’t want to take you with me. You are not the Luna Queen I want,” he scoffed when announcing the disgust he got from calling me his Luna Queen once.!
“So what was all this mess about?” I asked, wondering why the change of heart.
“I just wanted you to see you are not wanted, not by your mate, not by your friend, not by your family, and certainly not by the Alpha King. I want a decent Luna queen. So I have come to a conclusion to accept—-,” he paused just when he was about to say more.
“That will be between me and my next Luna Queen. As for you, I am not going to reject you or accept your rejection. However, the rules are solid. So why don’t you head back home and try to communicate and sort things out with your mate, since living as a rogue is no longer an option?” Corbin smiled after he ripped me apart brutally in front of everyone tonight.
“Anyway, I would have stayed for dinner, but I am not hungry anymore. I would rather be with a better version of my Luna Queen than stand here and see the pathetic excuse of a Luna Queen!” he commented before walking out of the door and leaving me behind with those I could certainly not trust anymore.
“That was interesting. You really thought he bent the rules just so that he can win your heart and take you back as his Luna Queen.” Elaine let out a little laugh before holding hands with her mate and walking him upstairs.
The awkward silence made me close my eyes and absorb what Corbin did. No way he was done with me. I am not talking about romantically, but if he was truly over, then he would have rejected me. He is playing a game.
“I will set the table for dinner,” Vinona stated, her voice carrying a hint of mockery. As she walked away to the kitchen, I opened my eyes and turned to the door.
Nobody called for me as I made my way out of the house. I stood outside in the cold for a few minutes before I took a cab back to the mansion. Throughout the ride, I noticed the guards around the borders.
“Ruby! You cannot be serious. I am trying everything to pay the bills, and you are accusing me of not doing much.” The driver muttered as he requested I let him attend the call. He had parked on the side of the road when talking to, who I assumed was his mate.
“Fine,” he grunted, cutting the call.
“Is everything alright?” I asked him, sucking on my own tears but feeling bad for him. Whatever worried him was a lot for him. He had tears demanding to leave his eyes.
