Chapter 41
I rushed out of the company after Sir Jethro informed me of the shocking news—Alpha Derrick and Mona’s engagement had just been announced.
The news hit me like a punch in the gut.
As I hurried home, my mind raced with thoughts of Luna Catherine. She had pushed for this engagement, and I knew exactly why.
Luna Catherine was doing everything in her power to remove me from the pack. By speeding up the engagement between Alpha Derrick and Mona, she knew it would hurt me deeply.
It was her way of getting back at me for what had happened earlier that morning at the company.
When I arrived home, the preparations were already underway. I could see the decorations, the flowers, the buzz of people moving around. It was clear that Luna Catherine wasn’t wasting any time.
As I stepped into the house, I immediately noticed Luna Catherine and her friend, Ma’am Jade, sitting together and chatting across from each other. The sight of them made my stomach turn. Ma’am Jade’s presence only confirmed how serious they were about this engagement.
I didn’t know if I should greet them or not. My instinct was to just walk past them, but before I could make my escape, Ma’am Jade’s voice cut through the room.
"You’ve been pampered so much that you can’t even greet us!" she snapped.
I stopped in my tracks, forcing myself to turn and look at them, my head slightly lowered.
"I didn’t want to interrupt your conversation," I replied, keeping my voice steady. Inside, I was fuming, but I couldn’t afford to lose my cool. Not with Ma’am Jade sitting there. She was the wife of Alpha Kelly, one of the most senior Alphas in Perth City. I couldn’t afford to disrespect her.
