Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 72

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

He was about to reply when I saw Paula walking into the room, there was an impatient spring in her step, as though she could not wait to reach our table. She took a seat on my left as Kat had already occupied the seat on my right.

She was not looking okay at all. Did she have a fight with her mate? I looked at Kat, she too was having the same thoughts. What had Gage said to her? And why was she so gloomy? She was holding her tears, she did not want to cry.

I looked at Alexander, he looked at bewildered too. If it turned out he had a hand

in Paula's current emotional state, I would not just refuse to help him, I would kick him out of my pack in the most humiliating way possible.

"Are you okay, Paula? I'm in a meeting here, maybe you could go wait for me in the room."

"Yes, I agree. Let's go, Paula. I'll stay with you." Kat agreed and stood.

"I have something to say to Alpha Alexander." She spoke up. But before she continued, she took my glass of wine and downed it. "Whatever you're going to blame Gage for, do not. He has no idea I am here, he was not aware I was going to be coming here. I only told him I will be visiting a friend but I never told him who the friend was. So, do not punish me or blame him. Understood?"

"You do know you're talking to your Alpha, Paula. If you want to talk to me, do it with respe..."

"I would advise you actually listen to what she just said. Do not blame Gage for this and she's not lying." I interjected.

"Erik...Uhm, sorry. Alpha Blackwood, I would suggest you allow me deal with my pack mem..."

"Paula is my best friend and I would not allow her mate bond be in jeopardy just because of what you may want to think. Unlike you, I know how to address an issue fair and square." I was referring to the day he'd asked me to publicly apologize to Seren even though I was innocent.

That day was still fresh in my memory. I still remembered everything she had said and how he had believed her over me, I would not allow him do that to Paula and Gage. These were mates and I would not let him ruin them with his insensitivity to their plight.
