Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 65

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

It's okay, Rika." Paula wiped my tears for the umpteenth time.

It was my coronation day and not even my brother or dad was available to stand by me. I appreciated Kat and Paula for being here, I truly did but even they understood my reason for crying.

I wanted one person from my family or even two of them if possible. I wanted my brother and father. But I could not get either of them today of all days. Jace and I used to talk about how we would stand together on the day I would be publicly announced as the Alpha of Iron Claw.

But today, it was just my friends. My friends. I wanted to cry myself to oblivion. Paula kept wiping every tear that dropped, Kat on the other hand was trying to be fine but I also knew that she was pained.

"He's not picking up his phone." I said, still worrying. "Why is he not picking up his phone? Is he still angry with me? No, don't answer that. I know he's still angry with me." Tears fell as an audible sad sigh left my lips.

"It's okay both of you." Paula was comforting Kat and I.

I turned to see that tears had dropped from Kat's eyes. She was missing him and also worried about him. I turned my back to the vanity mirror and allowed Paula keep working on her magic.

"I'm sorry." I apologized to her. My tears kept ruining the makeup she was doing

for me.

"It's okay, I know how you feel, it's not your fault." She patted my cheek gently and comfortingly.

The room went silent as she dutifully applied makeup on me. My thoughts ran wild, I could not go but think of what Elder Grigshade had said to me the last time he was here.

It had sounded like a threat and this morning, I've had to alert most of the guards to keep their eyes sharp and their ears to the ground. I wanted nothing to go wrong, except for the fact that none of my family member would be there, nothing else should be wrong.
