A Gift from the Goddess

Chapter 2

Chapter Two

She stood several inches taller than my five foot four, blonde hair and soft caramel brown eyes. Thea was stunning, anyone could tell. Her long slender legs were always visible, and her clothes always accentuated her best features in whatever outfit she wore. It was easy to see why Aleric had fallen for her.

 

“Aria!” she yelled out to me.

 

She was at the end of the hallway towards the community living room, looking as if she were waiting for me. But I didn’t stop to talk with her. No, instead I choose to pretend I didn’t hear her at all, and left towards my room.

 

“Aria, wait!” she called out again. I could hear her begin to quickly chase after me.

 

Thea was easily the last person I wanted to deal with right now. Why was she trying to pour salt into the wound before I’d even had time to fully process what had happened?

 

But before I could make it to the stairs, her hand grasped around my wrist, forcing me to spin around to face her. And instantly, I growled out sharply at her touch. How could she so carelessly touch me? I was still her Luna even if she was carrying the heir.

 

Her brown eyes went wide in surprise over my reaction and immediately dropped my hand, now looking as if she was about to cry.

 

“Aria, I’m so sorry!” she whimpered. “I didn’t want it to be like this.”

 

Thea was always the same. Acting as though we were sisters instead of a Luna and her mate’s mistress.

 

“He’s the Alpha, how could I deny him?” she said as tears began to fall from her eyes. “You know I never wanted things to go this far, but I love him too. And I love this pack as much as you do. Please don’t hate me or this child.” She rested a hand on her belly as if to emphasise her point.

 

Suddenly, everything turned red. I could feel my pulse beating loudly, deafening my ears. Everything about her made me want to rip her to shreds. The audacity she had to say that to me as if she were the victim in this whole situation.
