His Most Precious Possession
Still Mercedes’ POV
As soon as the door slams behind the Alpha, Clarita turns to me.
Her face is twisted with jealousy, which completely obscures her previous beauty.
“And if I thought I had a chance with him, he can’t take his eyes off you. A mated she-wolf, at it!”, she exclaims, agitated. “Zane, Glary and now Rainer too! Seriously, Mercedes? What do you have that I don’t? You’re still a virgin! I can offer Rainer so much more!”.
If Clarita thought she would hurt me with those worthless words, she’s so wrong. Bored, I stare at her again.
“You’ve had two mates and both of them you screwed up. Do you know how lucky you are? Only a few she-wolves get second chances”, I lecture her. “The one that I was granted, I hold tight to him, make him happy and proud of me. I don’t spread my legs for everyone. My mate owns me completely. Can you say that too, Clarita?”
She turns red, she knows I’m right. Now that her affair with our pack’s Alpha is out, I wonder if she can keep that relationship going. The Luna should already have confirmation that Clarita is the person her mate is playing with and I wouldn’t be surprised if she kicks this friend of mine out of the pack when we return. This girl got herself into quite a mess. Everything ended up in her head when she thought of causing me a lot of trouble. The video she manipulated has long since been cleaned up in the pack by savvy ICTers and everyone knows it’s her in the sex scene with Alpha Ahri. Zane tried to hide it from me, but now everyone in Silver Moon already has it stored in their phone.
“I had thought to tie up Rainer and stay here. But now he is only lusting after you,” she continues. I pay no further attention to her, Clarita has made a mess of her life and now has to clean it up all by herself. I quickly enter the bathroom to get rid of her whining. To my delight, there is hot water and a bathtub so I decide to let my muscles relax in a lovely bath. A few minutes later, Clarita steps in to use the shower.
A pang of pity creeps up when I see her unhappy face. I wonder how she got this attitude to life, but she’s clearly not happy with her situation. In fact, her actions made her life go from bad to worse.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“You know what, Clarita? Why don’t you start changing your mindset? The Moon Goddess is willing to bless each and every one of us, but our own behavior often makes it impossible for her get to us. Blessings never fall on evil doings,” I tell her gently. “Cheating and adultery are against her rules. I believe you can do well if you leave the mated wolves alone, pursue a career and calmly wait for the right mate to present himself. Stop the hunt and leave that to the men,” I insist without prejudice.
She is silent and a moment later, quietly leaves the bathroom. With a sigh, I climb out of the bathtub, rinse my body and wrap myself in a towel I found in a closet. When I enter the bedroom again, I see Clarita standing in front of two outfits on the bed. She can’t seem to decide what to wear tonight.
“Mercedes, can you help me decide? Sexy or decent?” she asks thoughtlessly. I roll my eyes, this is so lame.
“Depends on your plans for tonight. Do you want sex or respect? Make your choice and then you’ll know which outfit works”, I advise her dryly while I look in my bag for something to put on. It will be a denim jumper with a wide, crafted African bracelet that Zane had brought me once. I brush my hair until it shines, put some night cream on my face and I’m done. Looking in the mirror, I am pleased with the result.
When I turn to Clarita now, I notice that she has chosen for sex. She’s busy putting on some heavy makeup right now, obviously out for a kill tonight. Shaking my head, I look at her in the mirror but remain silent.
When we get out of the elevator, we meet two men. Like their Alpha, it looks like they just stepped out of a modeling magazine. One of them is totally inked, his face is tight without a smile.
“Ladies. I’m Beta Clark and that’s Gamma Enrik. Welcome to Shadow Moon. Our Alpha informed us that you arrived a few hours ago,” the Beta addresses us. “Please, follow us to his study.” We shake hands with each of them, tell them our names and walk down the hall after them. We stop in front of an impressive wooden door with ‘Alpha’ in golden letters. The Beta tosses the door open so we can step inside.
Alpha Rainer has changed clothes and steps out behind his desk with a big smile.
“I see you’ve already met my Beta and Gamma”, he declares sweetly, his eyes on me again. “Come on, we’ll start the evening with a short ride through the pack so you can get some impressions. Then we’ll go to a nearby club celebrating its anniversary”. I am taken aback by his plans, I only do clubbing in my packs. And if it’s elsewhere, only if Zane is there with me. And I’m not about to throw the agreement with my mate overboard in the company of three unmated wolves.
Somewhat reluctantly, I walk along to the parking lot where the Alpha’s SUV is parked next to my Bugatti. The two men immediately stop to admire my car.
“That’s a great beast. Have you two arrived in this?” asks the Beta, running his finger adoringly over the hood.
“Yes, that’s my car. A birthday present from my mate”, I let them know. Suddenly the men turn their eyes on me.
“Then you must be his most precious possession. This is worth millions,” the Beta whispers in awe. I look at him, smiling.
“Yes, I am his woman, the best he owns. And I own the best of him, his heart”, I declare in a daze.
All three men are now staring at me, their eyes wide with admiration and … want. The Alpha clears his throat and we get into his SUV. When he holds the passenger seat door open for me, I push Clarita forward and take a one-seat in the back….
