| Chapter 0343 “You are not my mate,” I said through gritted teeth; I was feeling that fury rising throughout me again, but this time, she stood her ground, pressing her lips together.
“I could be your chosen mate,” she said in return, meeting my eyes.
My breathing became rash, and I knew if I didn’t walk away, I would lose control of Max. I took a deep breath to calm my trembling body, closing my eyes as I did so.
“Alpha...” She began, but I brought my hand up, silencing her words.
I opened my eyes and peered into her sharp gaze.

again, Felicity. If you do, there wil] he hell to pay. You will bow to your knees in front of her and apologize for your cruelty. You will also apologize to that little girl’s mother for the misunderstanding you nearly caused.
You will show me respect as your Alpha. We will not have this conversation again. Understood?” Her eyes darkened and they looked glazed over. She was still staring at me, but it was almost like I wasn’t there. It was like I was invisible to her. I wasn’t even sure if she was breathing.
Just as I was about to open my mouth to speak, she blinked a few times.
She focused her eyes on my face, and they were no longer glazed over. She looked confused for a moment but then she said, “Understood, Alpha.”
She turned away from me and went in the direction of my mother’s room. I followed closely behind, watching as she made her way into the room. Lila sat at my mother’s bedside, holding onto her hands and tears burning in her eyes.
She looked startled to see Felicity barging into the room, but before Lila could say anything, Felicity fell to her knees in front of Lila and bowed her head low.
“I’m so sorry, Luna. I was cruel to you earlier and I didn’t mean any of the things I said. Please accept my sincerest apology.” Lila glanced up at me for a moment before looking down at Felicity.
It’s okay...” she said in an uncertain and yet soft tone. “I appreciate the
apology. I accept. Thank you.” Felicity bowed again before standing to her feet and scurrying through the door without giving me a second | glance.
My mind was racing. I expected there to be more of a fight, but she more than willingly apologized to Lila without a second thought. It almost seemed like she was in some kind of trance. But I hadn’t used my Alpha command on her. I thought about it, but I wanted to give her one last chance before I resorted to that.
Forcing an Alpha command on my pack members would be painful for them, so I tried not to use it often.

Lila stared after her for a moment,
tears still in her eyes. Though I knew those tears weren't for Felicity or her weird encounter. I furrowed my brows together as Lila looked up at me. I saw something flash in her eyes that caused me to take a step back.
She was upset with me. I could feel her painful emotion.
What happened when I was gone? I looked at my mother and saw that she also had tears in her eyes. She wasn’t looking at me though; she was looking at Lila.
I looked between the two of them with a heavy heart; I had left them alone so I could deal with the Felicity thing, not thinking that things could come up during a conversation containing the two of them.
There was no doubt in my mind as Lila took another look at me and then tears spilled from her eyes. No doubt when my mother wrapped her in her arms and gave her a reassuring yet comforting hug.
Lila knew the truth.
She knew that my mother was a Volana. |
