Chapter 148: I could easily become the new Luna in a matter of days...
Selene POV
When I got to my room, luckily maids were waiting to assist me. I also wanted to drop by the girls’ room to check up on them since I hadn’t seen them since yesterday. By the time I showered and dressed, I just had five minutes left before 9 am. So, I started towards the girls’ room. I was going to go late by the way and since I didn’t know how long we would be in therapy, I best go now.
As I rounded the corner that led to their room, someone stepped onto my path making me stop abruptly. When I looked up, it was Brooke and she had an insufferable smirk playing across her lips.
"goddess!" I sighed muttering loud enough for her to hear me "Not another bad luck again. What do you want?" I turned to her regarding her coldly "You best hurry up with whatever it is you want to say. I don’t have all day as you can see, I am busy,".
"I heard you’re seeing a counsellor with Noah this morning. Something about you and him trying to fix your marriage but honey I think it’s going to be a total waste of time," she purred, eyes glittering with poorly masked malice. "Well, your beloved husband called me to his room this same morning and we fucked. Not just once...over and over and again until I had to leave myself,".
The word hung in the air and of course, I felt anger course through my veins at her words. I wasn’t angry that she had slept with Noah again... at his point, I’m past caring who he sleeps with, I was just so angry that I was sharing the same dick with someone like Brooke. But there was no doubt that she was intending to provoke a reaction from me. Instead of giving her the pleasure that it affected me, I ignored her.
Seeing I remained impassive, she pressed on. "You do not care for him so much these days. This therapy charade is just an effort to keep up appearances and give you hope that he still wants to make it work between you too," she tsked derisively. "But believe me, Selene... it’s me he wants. He kissed me in the presence of the other Kings and pack elders. It’s so painfully obvious and honestly, I pity you a lot. I know how degrading and how sad it is for you. Seeing that you’re a woman with baggage and love will not come to you as easily as it will for someone like me,".
A small, serene smile curved my lips as I regarded the woman before me – I could sense her desperation from a mile and I didn’t need anyone to tell me she was looking for validation and to get that, she resorted to playing petty mind games.
"You don’t need to tell me any of that, Brooke," I said evenly. "Do you know what you sound like? A little girl who was given a piece of candy and now rushes to show it off to all her friends. First of all, we’re not even friends... I only knew about your existence when Noah was making a passing statement about the kind of woman he wouldn’t want to be with and second, I don’t care about you,".
