Chapter 145

Fiona POV

Infuriating bastard. I can feel myself seething as I step foot inside the room. How dare he act as though what he had done meant nothing to him. Sure, I was naïve thinking that my mate might have saved himself for me, that he might have been as loyal as I had been, but this was different. It was one thing to know that my mate had been with other women and quite another to be greeted by one of them in person! He had no notion of how much I was hurting right now. Then he’d had the audacity to accuse me of overreacting. I doubted he would respond the same way if he’d been dealt the same cards. Why did men think they could get away with anything but demand differently from their partners? It wasn’t fair. I was sick of the double standards.

I slammed the door for good measure and then locked it, my temper raging by now. My luggage lay neatly on the ground, but I grabbed my pink threadbare stuffed bear and hopped onto the bed, fighting back the urge to cry. I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction. Instead, I stared outside; watching as several pack members glanced curiously up at me, while others trained in the distance. The grounds were immense and well–maintained. It was evident that Alpha Liam not only appreciated what he had but worked hard to keep everything in working order. That was a sign of a good leader as well as one who was hardworking.

The pack house was luxurious and not something I had imagined. I knew that the Black Lightning pack was large, but this pack house and grounds were extensive. It looked as though there were ample opportunities to explore. I sighed, wrinkled my nose, and then heard my stomach give a loud deliberate growl. I was hungry. I hadn’t eaten much at my party and my belly was letting me know it. I hesitated and then yanked the door open. I wasn’t about to let my mate intimidate me into staying confined to my bedroom. I stepped out and made my way downstairs, following the delicious aroma to the kitchen. The smells are tantalizing and only make me hungrier, despite the hour of the day. I could almost imagine the food that was being prepared or consumed.

My mouth waters. Something smells delicious. I pause in the doorway, watching as Delia flips her hair over her shoulders and holds court with a bunch of pack members at the dining table.

“You should have seen the slut,” she sneered as I stood there motionless. “Acting as though she owned the place. She’s nothing special. Hell,” she added, narrowing her eyes at the other women who were listening intrigued. “I’m certain she doesn’t even have a wolf. What does that tell you?” she said smugly.

“No,” breathed another woman sitting beside Delia, looking at Delia in disbelief. “The Alpha couldn’t have taken a wolf less as his mate. It’s never been done before. They are so rare. Wouldn’t he be embarrassed to have somebody like this as his mate?” she asked nibbling on her lower lip.

“Exactly” another one chimed in, a blonde–haired pixie with blue eyes and the most disgusted look on his face. “Why would he take a pathetic mutt like that when he could have had any one of his members for his luna? Delia has been with him the longest and she’s one of the strongest fighters we have. If anybody should have been considered for the Luna position it should have been her.”

“He should reject her,” the one beside Delia said unexpectedly, crinkling her nose, a look of revulsion on her face. “I’m certainly not going to respect somebody like that girl as my Luna. Who does she think she is? I am loyal to Delia” she announced out loud.

I fought back my desire to teach them all a lesson in humility and compassion. I stepped into the kitchen, unable to help myself any longer. If they wanted to gossip about me, then let them do that to my face! Immediately the
