Bride of the Cursed Alpha (Auren and Lucien)

Chapter 220

Chapter 220

Summer POV

The evening couldn’t come this late. I had to bear Laura’s whining the whole day. When she went for lunch, she ordered me not to follow her or come down for lunch, because I would mar her reputation. Stain her flawless personality. So I stayed in the room, and hunted for food in the mini–fridge. There were some nuts and coke. It would do. I was used to this all my life.

When Laura returned from lunch, her face was contorted with fury. “Who the hell do these bitches think I am?” she grumbled. “I am Costa Morelli’s daughter. And yet they take me so lightly?”

I rolled my eyes at her entitled behavior. She wanted to assert her position, society status and wealth over the wornen who didn’t belong to her world. Probably they were all rich like her, or richer. Who cared? They were all candidates in the Luna trials, and maybe they thought of her as an equal. Maybe not. I had gathered by now that Laura was the first human to take part in Luna trials, to be mated to a werewolf. It might sound strange to humans but it was something that I found… normal. Did I officially lose it?

“And those bitch organizers-“Laura snapped as she took her bracelet out and tossed it on the bed. “They didn’t treat me well. None of them made an effort to introduce me to others. All of them sat away from me, didn’t interact with me, and I felt like an outsider!”

I pursed my lips and didn’t offer her any advice. Because I knew if I did that, she would only get more irritated. Less irritated Laura was better than a more irritated one. She had no restraints when it came to lifting her hand on me.

She zipped her dress and dropped it on the floor. I collected it, folded it and put it in a different suitcase silently.

She continued complaining. “I have no idea why Alpha Bradley avoided me!” She glanced at me and narrowed her eyes. “Do you know him already? Why was he talking to you?”

I jerked my head up. “N–no,” I replied, heat rushing to my cheeks as I remembered him, and our interaction. How he looked at me with possessiveness. “1 don’t know him.”

“Do you even know who he is?”

“Yes, you said he is the heir of the Shadowfang pack.”

“He is the strongest and wealthiest Alpha of the North,” Laura informed me. “I’m hoping he choose me. So you better work in my favor, okay?”

“Yes,” I said immediately.

Laura became silent. She assessed me for a while and then flopped on the pillow. “This is going to be so frustrating if no one talks to me.”

I lowered my head and started collecting her jewelry. I knew that in situations like these when she doubted me and when most likely she was going to report it to her father, I better stay low and not provoke them. This was a survival instinct I had learnt the hard way. My father would hit me in his alcoholic and non–alcoholic rage all the time. If I argued with him, he would get provoked, and then there was no end to his slaps and kicks.

As I walked out, I heard her calling someone. “Daddy!” she whined.

I walked out of her room quickly. She brought her phone to her ear. “Like what, daddy?” she asked. She waited for a while to explain it to her. “Uh–huh,” she said excitedly.
