Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 23

*****Erika's POV*****

"When will you guys be done?" I groaned in annoyance.

They had been at this seduction lecture for the past twenty minutes and it was getting tiring.

"You should be learning, instead of seating there whining" Kat snapped.

She hated the fact that I kept asking them every minute if they were done.

But I had to ask, I was feeling left out of the whole charade. Moreover, it was not what I wanted to see at this moment in my life.

I merely shrugged. "Learn what? As if I have a mate to practice on"

"Do not lose hope. Alexander is not the only man you'll ever be mated to. The Moon Goddess will give you another mate, a much nicer one" Paula encouraged.

I sighed again, knowing I was hiding something from them.

"I don't think I'm ready, I don't know" The thought just came to me.

I know that during this time, my mind would be all over the place. I'd be having different thoughts; this minute I might want one thing, another minute I'd be yearning for another thing.

Well, there was no one who would go through what I had just gone through and not feel somewhat insane.

"Don't ever say that. Don't think of whatever Alex had done to you, I kind of have a feeling he'll come back to beg!" Paula came to join me on the bed, snuggling me tight.

Kat occupied the other side. "And even if he doesn't, there are many wonderful guys out there."

"The only wonderful guys I think are out there right now are my father and Jace" I responded.

"There are guys like Jace, Gage and my future father-in-law." Kat uttered,

wriggling her body on the bed in a playful gesture.

I turned to give her an amusing stare. "What are you doing?"

She grinned, then shrugged. "Nothing, just having fun. Playing" She raised her upper frame a bit to peer at Paula. "Still interested in the lecture?"

"I thought we were having a break!" Paula yelled. It was more of a statement than

an actual question, and she looked like she was ready to spread herself on the bed and drift off to la-la land.
