The Lunar Curse: A Second Chance With Alpha Draven
Chapter 131: More Than Satisfied

Chapter 131: More Than Satisfied

Meredith.

Wanda seemed extra happy at breakfast today.

There were no glares from her to me. No eye rolls or side comments. Yet.

She smiled from ear to ear, eating elegantly until she thought it right to speak.

"Draven, Levi is coming in today," she said to Draven excitedly.

I bet she was too happy to have dropped the title, ’Alpha’, while addressing Draven.

On the other hand, Draven didn’t correct her. It was either he didn’t notice, or he wasn’t in the mood to correct her. But Beta Jeffery and Dennis did throw a glance her way.

And she pretended not to notice.

"Has a room been prepared for him?" Draven inquired, sipping his coffee.

"Yes," she replied immediately. "One of the guestrooms."

My brows knitted. As far as I knew, all the guestrooms were on the ground floor. That meant that this Levi would have a room in the same hallway as mine.

Three lines appeared on Draven’s forehead. It was a deep frown. For whatever reason, he didn’t seem pleased about the arrangement.

But he chose to direct his gaze at me.

"You can no longer occupy the guestroom you’re currently occupying. After all, you aren’t a guest."

I cocked my head to the side. I didn’t understand a word he was saying.

"Pick any room on the third floor and the servants will move your things over today," he finished.

Finally, I understood, but I wasn’t grateful or pleased.

"I have a beautiful view I’ve grown to love."

Since I couldn’t openly reject the Alpha’s orders in front of others, I indirectly told him I didn’t want to change bedrooms.

"That can be arranged in your new bedroom if you like the flower view so much," he said with a straight gaze pinned on me.

I wasn’t ready for negotiations. And he wasn’t asking for one.

Right there, I realized I couldn’t win this argument.

I scrunched my nose up and went back to my food.

Wanda’s brother was coming over, and suddenly, I had to change rooms.

I lifted my gaze to glare at Wanda, only to discover she was already glaring at me. Instinctively, my lips lifted up in a smirk.

I was reminded of how crazy she had gone two nights ago, trying to stop me from getting to the third floor. And now, by Draven’s order, I was going to have a room there.

How come I never thought of how pissed she would be with this new arrangement?

At least, for the sake of Wanda’s unhappiness, I agree to change rooms even if there wasn’t any other valuable reason.

"I bumped into Xamira’s nanny this morning."

My ears perked up as Wanda spoke to Draven.

"She mentioned Xamira is sick and has a fever."

"Yes," Draven confirmed.

I quickly turned my gaze to him and hijacked the conversation. Wanda had no right to show any form of care for that little girl.

"Has she taken any medication. Can I see her, and make a herbal drink for her?"

"You are not a doctor," Wanda sneered. "What do you think you know about treating a child? Do you think Xamira is your test subject?"

Wanda. Wanda. Wanda.

I exhaled deeply, clenching my fingers into fists.

This woman doesn’t take me for anything. There was no regard, no respect. Nothing at all.

I bet she prefers to treat servants properly rather than to do that with me.

"Wanda, I think you keep forgetting your position and losing your manners with each passing day."

I snapped my gaze to Dennis. He was literally drilling a hole into Wanda with that death stare.

"You are speaking to the Alpha’s wife," he said to her. "Meredith is the Luna of Mystic Furs, and your future Queen."

Wanda recoiled.

"Even if you don’t have any respect, you should find one and give it to her."

"Actually, you’re wrong, Dennis," she said to him confidently. "Meredith is not formally a Luna. She is just Draven’s wife in name. She hasn’t been given a proper welcoming ceremony as the Luna you claimed she is. So, until then, I will speak to her casually according to her status."

I scoffed.

"And you are misunderstanding something if you think I’m disrespecting her. This is just how I speak to people who aren’t my friends. Plain and straight to the point."

"Wow!" My mouth reacted before I could stop it. And what followed next was Dennis clapping his hands with a big smile on his lips.

"You must really hate your good friend’s wife for you to not blink once before justifying your rudeness. You are very good at your job, Wanda. And I hope my brother can see it."

Then, he tilted his head to the side to glance at Draven, whose jaw was tightly clenched.

Wanda followed his gaze and almost immediately, something flashed across her eyes. Realization.

She must have guessed that Draven was mad at her.

"Alright, I was wrong." She gave up, putting her hands in the air. "I was briefly blinded by ignorance here."

I think the reason she admitted her wrong was just to stop whatever Draven was going to say to her, because it couldn’t be a good one.

So, she just got back to her senses on time and found her way back on the right track.

"I was only worried about Xamira. She is a human still under Duskmoor’s watch. We can’t afford any mistakes, especially when it comes to her life."

Releasing a deep sigh, she glanced at me with a softened expression and said, "I apologize. I shouldn’t have reacted so strongly."

Beta Jeffery released a soft sigh. Dennis shook his head with a scoff while Draven lifted his gaze.

As for me, I didn’t give any reaction.

I just decided that this pretentious woman sitting across from me didn’t deserve my attention. And what did I do?

I ignored her totally and picked up my cutlery.

"A children’s doctor will be here to check on Xamira in a few minutes. Don’t worry so much about her," Draven spoke softly with his gaze on him.

I slowly relaxed, giving him a nod before going back to my food.

I wasn’t mad at him for not scolding Wanda and putting her in her place.

His subtle reaction had done the job his words didn’t do. And I was more than satisfied.
