C20 How do I become his strong Luna?

Freya’s Pov

But then the storm will come anyway. I was having breakfast with Artemis in the dining hall. He was very chatty and I enjoyed it.

“So what’s your favorite colour?” He asked. I laughed at his question, “you can’t be serious?” I asked in disbelief.

“Come on I am, tell me your favorite colour and reason,” oh boy he was serious.

Okay, I tried to supress the laughter and offer him an answer.

I thought back to it, now that I did, I realized that I in fact didn’t have a favorite something. I think it was as a result of growing up in the Eastwood pack. Back then I didn’t have much of a choice so I just sucked up to whatever I was offered.

Rubbing my chin I thought on the colour that was most appealing to me. After much thought I concluded that I didn’t have a favorite colour but I knew the colours that I would alway go for should I be offered the chance to choose.

“I know this might be weird but I don’t have a favorite colour.”

“You don’t?” He asked surprised.

“I mean there are colours that I love to wear but I wouldn’t choose just one. Although I love dull colors; grey, ash, beige, brown, white and black.”

“And I thought you would like pink, yellow, red or orange,” He said much to my amusement.

“What?! Those are girls favorite colours. Most especially shining colours,” it was the way he said all this with a straight face that made it even more funny.

“What? I don’t have a favorite colour but I sure do have my worse colour which is yellow. That colour just doesn’t do it for me. Orange? I’m just indifferent about it.”

“Hobbies?”

“What’s this? A date?” I asked laughing.

“It’s just breakfast but I might take you up on the offer of going out on a date.” He said. “Would you go on a date with me Freya Demitri.”

I smiled “yes, I would love to.”

There was something about the way he pronounced my father’s name. It came with a cold and shiver, it felt forced and looked stiffed.

“Now we are at it. How did you know my father’s name? How did you know my father?”

He thought for a while. “Your father was well known. He was strong and brave but also stubborn. A trait I’m yet to see you exhibit.” He said.

“There’s going to be a ball soon. Not like a complete ball as it is in London. Party for council members in the pack. All the important men that have helped build the pack would be present. Even down to our multi-billionaire companies. I will officially announce you as my mate there,” he said casually like he hadn’t just dropped a big bomb now on me.

Did he think I was perfect? I did not know how to act or behave as a proper Luna yet. Those people had had their whole lifetime of being perfect and flawless and there was me who had being an omega all my life.

“What?” I mouthed.

They were flawless and without fault. Majority of them were born into the elite family. All born into power. They only associated themselves with people of same caliber. And then it struck on me, they might not even like me. They would look at me with disdain and pure hatred in their eyes and heart.

“I said——“

“I know what you said. I heard you perfectly well. A ball of all the elite vipers appearing.”

‘We’re equally elite,’ Jade said with me.

“It is really not——-“

“A ball!!!”

We heard a squealing and as we both turned to where we assumed the sound was coming from, we saw Loretta. She was walking down meticulously. Careful like she was walking on an egg shell.

A scowl appeared on my face just as she appeared. She was perfect and they might actually chose her as his mate instead of me. Their reason would be because I was a lowlife wolf.

‘We are not lowlifes,‘Jade bit back.

“Oh the ball. I can’t wait! When is the date?” She asked excitedly. She practically skipped to the table.

“What am I going to wear? Oh my gosh! I don’t have an outfit yet! Why didn’t you say this earlier.” She hurled all different questions and tantrum at Artemis who just sat quietly and watched for the longest time.

“What dress should I wear?” Loretta said to herself. Deciding on what colour she wanted.

“Freya it’s nothing to worry about, you just have to be beside me.” Artemis said to me.

I rolled my eyes at him and the hyper bitch beside me. Ball party’s and dressing up had never entered into the dictionary of ‘easy’ because it was never easy.

“When is this ?”

“We haven’t chosen a date yet, but it should be between this week and next. Oh and the Eastwood pack would be present,” I went cold with those words.

That was it, it was all I needed, I had to look my best to impress those good for nothing people and show off how I’m well to be in front of Evelyn.

Racheal was right. I finally understood and did grab the gravity of the space I would occupy next to Artemis. He didn’t need some one weak. But a person filled with agility and was vibrant. Someone who was confident and bold.

“I want to see the training grounds,” I said.

When I said that, a surprised stare was aimed at me from my mate. Ohh I love the taste of ‘my mate’ in my head.

Then from Loretta I got a chuckle as she hid her face. “I’m sorry, what?”

“You want to see the training ground, sorry let me ask you what do you think they do there?” She insulted me.

“Loretta!” Artemis warned.

“What? I’m only telling her that that’s not a place for broken porcelain skin, I doubt you could go hundred kilometers,” she added laughingly.

With the amount of pride that she spoke with I knew that she was fit and might’ve trained with them. That’s what made her so boastful.

Ignoring her I turned to Artemis, “I want to check it out,” I said to him.

Jade did not only want to check it out but she wanted to compete with her. In situations like this my wolf got all competitive as fuck.

“Okay no problem,” he said and I smiled.

“Would you train with me?”

“You want me to train with you?” Artemis asked shocked.

“Yes.”

“Someone would find herself in a white gown and in a white environment so soon,” Loretta said to herself but audible enough for me to hear.

With the way her mouth ran like a car with no brakes I was determined to prove her wrong. This wasn’t just for Artemis perfect Luna again. It’s for me, she had insulted me and my wolf and we would never stay back and let ourselves to be insulted by this good for nothing bitch. My pride was officially at stake.

“I’ll be right back,” Artemis said standing to his feet. He rounded the table and went up.

I and Loretta made a brief eye contact before I looked away.

“You may be his mate, but you’re not suit for the position of his Luna or his queen,” she said to me. Rolling my eyes for the uptenth time I continued with me food.

“I know it may not seem like it but I know Artemis longer than you have, he’ll fix another werewolf in your position. Your place with him is short lived so enjoy it now.”

Turning to face her I plastered a fake smile that was very much vivid in her eyes.

“Why don’t you worry about your own position,” I snapped.

“Foolish child,” when she said that it sounded like Morgana, alpha Rex’s wife. His Luna. She always used that word on me.

“You don’t have to worry about my position dear, I’ll be filling in when he pushes you to the corner.”

That made my blood boil.

“In your dreams.”

Loretta smiled and stood up, she came to my side, “ sweetheart, do you know where you are? Let me remind you, you’re in the Waterfall Pack. The strongest pack in this region. Do you think it’s by chance. Artemis is no small alpha and at such a powerful Luna to his side. Now honey we know deep down that you don’t fit into any of that,” she said and pated my back before walking out.

She wanted to get a reaction from me and she was doing just that. When she got it, she smiled and walked away. Bitch.

“Okay let’s go,” Artemis said from my side.

“You know she’s just looking for a reaction from you,” I heard.

I turned to see Racheal by my side. Yes she wanted a reaction and I gave just what she wanted but at the end of the day she spoke the truth.

I followed Artemis out with Rachel by my side. Entering the elevator. I noticed set of buttons that I hadn’t seen before. They were enclosed in plastic containers. Eyeing the button I wondered where it could possibly lead to.

The chiming of the elevator knocked me out of the button world. We had arrived in a changing room. Artemis took my hand and we walked across the large black room and when he pushed the glass door open, an open field came to view. A large green field with people training on. Just after the field a forest stood at the opposite end of the changing room.

“Artemis!!” Some group of girls training called out to my mate. This was going to be tough.
