The Alpha’s Little Luna

As usual, Clarita runs up to meet me when Zane drops me off at school before leaving for his own pack. And of course, she has that slutty longing look in her eyes when she glances at my mate. If I weren’t sure of Zane’s love for me, I would have cracked this bitch’s eyes out. After one last kiss, I get out of the car and walk toward her.

“Hey, Clarita, that was a great party. I’m sure you enjoyed it a lot,” I remarked sarcastically. She ignored my tone and took me by the hand.

“Yes, I am so proud of it myself. After your birthday party, mine was the bomb,” she exclaimed happily. I nodded, it looked like she really had the need to outdo my party. When we’re near the school building entrance, I turned to her.

“Clarita, I urgently need to talk to you about a private matter. Do you have an hour off after Science class?” I asked her. She was startled by my tone first, but didn’t ask for an explanation.

“Yes, I’ll be waiting for you in the hallway”, she answered and entered her Communication Management class. Sighing, I gaze after her and then walk to my locker. I look at the time on my phone and see I still have half an hour before my classes start. I decided to spend it in the cafeteria going through my social media accounts. This weekend I shot some more pictures of Zane and me that I want to upload. I order my favorite Lasagna and sit in my usual spot.

When I post the photos of us in Zane’s new Rover, I quickly see the reactions pouring in. One is from Saphira, Alpha Glary’s girlfriend. I saw her dancing provocatively with him during the party. She is a beautiful blonde with striking green eyes, which hold a somewhat sad glimmer, to my impression. The way she danced with Alpha Glary proved that they had been good friends for a long time.

‘Congrats, Lady Mercedes. Let yourself be pampered, you deserve it’, she wrote under the picture. I clicked on her account and saw several pictures where she was on vacation outside the pack or in business meetings.

Although we’re both from Silver Moon, I’ve never had close contact with her. She is about four years older than me and actually should have already met her mate. But I doubt that is the case, the way she handled Alpha Glary proves otherwise. Too bad, because she is so stunning and civilized, has such an elitist appearance, while I’m sure she is not a high ranking. Maybe her mate is an Alpha or Beta, time will tell. In any case, I hope she meets him soon so the sadness in her turns into happiness.

I click the heart as an indication that I appreciate her comment. I’m so focused on reading the comments that I didn’t notice anyone sitting across from me. Until the tapping of fingers on the table catches my attention. When I look up, I see Alpha Glary staring at me with a teasing grin.

“Alpha Glary”, I acknowledged him, still embarrassed of our discovery at the party.

“Mercedes”, he said with sparkling eyes. “Have you recovered from the view from a few evenings ago?” he now asked with a broad smile. So, he seemed determined to make me blush indefinitely about what happened. I have to regain my usual posture, otherwise, I will become the permanent victim of his bully. I swallow a few times and lower my eyes to place my backpack closer to my lap. When I look back at the Alpha, my old confidence is back.

“Yes, I told my mate about it and then everything was fine again”, I responded ambiguously, blinking at him. Much to my delight, his eyes widen and the smile faded from his face. So, he got my hint. Now it’s my turn to look amused at him.

“And I can tell you that he has handled it very exciting”, I sneered.

Suddenly he starts to roar with laughter. And I have to say, he looks a lot better when he’s this relaxed. Only now do I notice the dimples in his cheeks and a split between his front teeth. It’s so sexy. And his sense of humor is so infectious. I think I should take his offer of befriending seriously, if only during lectures.

Returning to his senses, he taps the table with his fingers again.

“And have you spoken to Clarita about that spectacular show?” he wanted to know. “I can imagine the look on her face when she finds out we saw her million-dollar act. Why didn’t we take a picture of the scene?”

I’m almost suffocating.

Wide-eyed and frozen in my seat, I glare at the man. Would he really have dared? When Alpha Glary notices my reaction, he bursts out laughing again. Then I realized that he had shut me down again. I stare at him, brooding like a peasant with a toothache. He seems to be enjoying himself on my account this morning and everything in me is screaming for revenge. This Alpha needs a lesson, one he won’t easily forget.

I’m racking my brains on how to get back to him.

“Alpha”, I started slowly. “I saw your mother arriving when I left the party”. I intentionally build in a break and study my nails. “And she asked me where your father was.” There it is already.

He is shocked as hell, he hadn’t counted on this. He runs his hand through his hair a few times, staring at me to make sure I’m serious.

“Telling you, Alpha! She just drove by as I was waiting for Zane. And she wasn’t really pleased”, I put some salt in his wound.

“And you told her what we saw?” he asked tensely. Slowly I raised my eyes at him, leaving him in suspense a little longer. This game with the Alpha gives a whole new dimension to our interaction. But then, I haven’t seen this side of his character before. His eyes bulge in anticipation of my answer.

“Nah”, I relieved him and now it’s my turned to howl with laughter.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

The relief on his face is worth the price….
