Chapter 27: Chapter 27
Jessica's POV
Honestly, I am surprised that I am yet to hear any sort of confrontation between Janet and the slave girl.
Not what I expected, for my plan to work, I need both of them to get into a heated argument.
I have been avoiding going into Alex's apartment as I don't want to be fingered as a suspect for the crime that would be committed.
The wait is killing me, I can't believe they have decided to live peacefully despite what I told them yesterday. I have been peeping through my window for the past one hour to see if any of them would come out of the apartment, but nothing yet.
Derrick is going to be furious if I fail this time.
I was about to leave the window when I saw Janet coming out of the apartment with Oliver.
Little witch.
I hurried out of my apartment to catch them before they go to wherever they were headed.
“Hey Janet,” I called out wearing a pretentious smile when in reality she disgust me.
I can't imagine a whore sitting on the throne-like Luna, worst still is an ordinary slave girl that has no skill whatsoever.
I am the one who deserves to be seated at the kingside as the luna and at this instant, I do not care who the king is.
“What do you want this time?” Janet asked me coldly.
Not exactly the kind of reaction I was expecting.
“Common, stop being uptight, I am only trying to be a friend. Oliver dear please excuse us, I have something important to discuss with her,” I said to the little brat who was busy rolling her eyes the entire time I was talking.
The first thing I will do when I become his father mate will be to ensure she never steps foot into this pack again.
“Oliver, I will join you soon,” Janet said taking a few steps from the little girl.
“I wanted to find out how you are handling what we talked about last time,” I said still trying to be nice.
“Look, Jessica, I do not wish to be the luna, if I were to be, the moon goddess would have made it so. Therefore I have no plans to fight an already loosed battle. Alex loves his mate, not minding the fact that she is a slave, and honestly, if you claim to be Alex's best friend you should be happy for him” she said, her words, her voice was like torture to my ears.
“Well I guess you are right, I mean what matters is Alex's happiness and he is happy with the slave girl more than he was with you,” I said with the hope of taunting her.
“Yes, I can see he is happy, we have had our time and now he has moved on, so let them be,” she said, walking from me to meet with Oliver who has been waiting impatiently for her.
How I hate this slut.
I wonder what Alex sees in his choice of women that he doesn't see in me. I am way better, skilled in battle, and not bad-looking either.
I can't believe I just wasted my precious few seconds listening to the thrash she was spurring, I will surely remember this when I carry out my ultimate plan.
But now I need to see what Ashley still thinks of what I told therefore I make my plan B.
*****
Ashley
“How long do you think it's going to take you guys to restore peace?” I questioned Alex who was getting dressed to go out for a meeting with his men
“Honestly, I can't tell, but I hope soon because I can't wait to come back to you," he said climbing onto the bed to place sweet serenading kisses on my lips.
“I am going to miss you, are you sure I can't come along, I may be of use, you never can tell,” I said, even though I know he is not going to allow it.
“You know I will be more than happy to have you come along if it was not battle we were going for. And perhaps you will make me weak and lose focus on what I am supposed to do,”
“So are you saying am a distraction?” I said pretending to be angry.
“Yes, a good distraction, one that is capable of making me lose my senses on the battlefield,” he said nipping on one of my ears.
His warm breath tickled me into laughter.
“What time will you guys be leaving in the morning,”
“Lastest 5:00 am we should be on our way,” he said standing from the bed to continue with his dressing.
“I will have to go to the clinic later to get some of those healing portions for you just in case you get hurt,” I said looking at how handsome he was looking his sleeveless black polo matched with army shorts.
His muscles were flexing at his every movement, and I could feel myself having some nasty ideas.
God! I am gradually turning into a sex freak.
“That's sweet, thanks. But I have been meaning to ask, do you know how the tonic is made” he asked casually.
But the question came as a shock to me as I wonder why the sudden interest in how the healing tonic was been made.
“No. Why do you ask?” I questioned, hating the fact that I just lied to him.
“Because I kind of noticed that the healing portion came about after you came into the pack,” he said, putting finishing touches on his dressing.
“So what are you suggesting,” I said, unable to hide the tension in my voice. He must have noticed this as he climbed to the bed again to look at me in the eyes.
“Nothing really, I just thought you might have an idea since you worked there for some time,” he said with a sexy smile while teasing my lips with his warm peppermint flavored breath.
I hate the fact that I am lying to him, but I don't know what to expect if I tell him that I have been secretly donating my blood for the healing potion.
He might get angry and ask me to stop and I can't let him go on this journey without it. I don't think I would survive should anything happen to him.
I have come to love him very much and even though we have not lived together for long, I feel like have known him my life.
“What are you thinking of,” he questions after he notices I was not responding to his teases.
“You,” I lied again.
“Don't worry I will be back in one piece I promise,” he said kissing my lips softly and seductively.
It was getting intense as his hand starts touring my body and I indulge him because I can't seem to have enough of him.
But before things could escalate, there was a knock on the door and that made me push him off me, while I ran to the bathroom.
He groans as he watched my ass bounce while I ran.
“Who is there” he questions with an angry voice as he walks to open the door.
I couldn't hear much of what they were saying as I turned on the shower.
When I was done with my business in the bathroom, I tied a white towel to my chest before walking out of the bathroom.
I knew that there was no way any male visitor could come to our room. I guessed that it might be either Oliver or Janet.
But when I got out of the bathroom, I was surprised to see that the person was gone
“Who was that,” I questioned Alex who was waiting for me to come out before leaving.
“It's Jessica,” she came to remind me of the meeting with my men.
I was surprised to hear that it was Jessica, I have not seen her enter this apartment since I moved in.
“You smell good,” Alex said wrapping his hand around me.
“Thanks,” I said smiling “you better be on your way to not keep your men waiting” I added after a few seconds passed.
“They can wait for as long as I want them to wait,” he said still kissing my collarbone while swinging the both of us gently.
“I know you but I don't want you, they are going to think I am you late,” I said moving away from his hands.
“ I don't give a fuck about what they think, but because you insist, Just make sure you are sleeping on this bed naked when I get back,” he said kissing me before exiting the door.
I don't know why, but I feel so loved and protected whenever I am with him, that I sort of forget who I was before I met him.
I can't help but wonder what my parents would think of me now when they know that I am mated to an alpha king.
Would they love and accept me, because honestly, of all the bad things that has happened to me, not being loved by my parent or siblings happens to be the worst.
I one day imagine that they would apologize to me for how badly they treated me and we would all live peacefully together.
Now that Alex is going on this trip, I couldn't help but think of what Jessica had said about Janet.
She seems like a nice person, but I hope she won't change her attitude towards me after Alex is gone.
