Chapter 47
Aurora:
“Don’t worry, everything is going to be ready according to the rules of the council.” Jasmine said, and I smiled as I looked myself in the mirror, proud that we had our order confirmed for when we were heading to the Lord Alpha’s Estate.
I was a person who knew the rules and traditions very well. I knew what it was to go to the elder’s place and I knew what it was to go and see guests of higher rank. And one never, not for a minute, should dare to reject an elder’s invitation or go with their hands empty.
A small dish often did the job, but the higher our rank, the fancier the presentation was, and the more strict the council rules were. It was something that we all knew, and was something that I grew up learning. Therefore, now, to me, this was a normal lifestyle.

I hung up and put my phone down as I looked at the jewelry that I was planning on wearing this evening. I might not be treated like one, but I knew that I was the Alpha’s ‘mate’ and I still had to keep a certain figure. And in all honesty, it was something that satisfied me. Whether or not he saw me as his woman did not mean that I was going to change certain habits that I had for his sake.
My bedroom door opened, and I took a deep breath as I looked at the Alpha through the mirror, Convincing him to knock was going to be like convincing a child that he shouldn’t be playing with mud when he was in the playground. Therefore, I wasn’t going to bother trying.
“You knew that we were invited to the Lord Alpha,” he said, not bothering to wait for me to say a word about him barging in the way that he had. It wasn’t like I was indecent, but it was a sense of respect that the Alpha didn’t seem to have toward me.
“It was Ivan who got the message, I merely heard him talk about it because he was speaking by my side.” I said, turning to face the Alpha as I put on my earrings. The fact that Ivan came to ask me about his mate was something that made my heart swell for him. It made me feel somewhat a lot calmer when it came his approach to me as the pack’s Luna,
The man’s eyes widened at my response, and I turned to the mirror, wanting to put on my second earring, knowing that the man merely came to cause trouble. He has been doing that since Charlotte left, and that was something that I was growing used to.
“And you did not bother mentioning it.” He said watching as I turned to face him when I was done with the earring. His eyes met mine and he shook his head in question, waiting for my response. The fact that he wasn’t around to hear it earlier was not my fault, but I knew better than to argue with him right now.
And I couldn’t help but find myself wondering when all this hell was going to end. At least, I would know when he intended to look at me as if I was his mate rather than his enemy. If anything, I would know that I can hold onto to something, but right now, I only felt like I was fighting a one way war that had no ending.
“Can I ask what your problem is with me?” I asked, shaking my head. “I am trying to tend to my duties as your mate, and yet, all I find from you is not only rejection and resent, but hate and anger too. You look at me as if I was a parasite and I have don’t nothing but honor you and our mating.”
