How To Kill a Cheating Mate

Chapter 4. Is this for real?

CHAPTER FOUR

Janelle's POV

"Perfect! It's absolutely the right choice. I made the right choice. Oh. Just wait until the day ends, those clothes will be off of you." Sophia said excitedly. I just rolled my eyes at her. She's been saying that for about 5 times or more now.

I was currently at my room, being prepped by Sophia who was clearly excited about something I don't know. I tried asking her but all she says is, "You have a meeting with the other Alphas and Lunas later at the Conference Room." I really didn't believe her, but I just nodded. I mean, why would she be excited with me meeting other leaders?

Last night, when Giovanni and I got home, he told me to sleep early and have a beauty rest because there would be an 'event' at the Conference Room, and after that, the pack will be having a party at the backyard. So I'm guessing it should really be important then?

"Look at yourself in the mirror Nelle. You're gorgeous!" Pia exclaimed.

I obeyed her and stared at my reflection in the mirror. All I can say is that the two months of training had been worth it. I look different now.

My gray eyes that are almost silver looks so alive, unlike before when they were so dull. My bird's nest of a hair was now curled to perfection, thanks to Sophia. And my body... Well, I don't mean to sound so cocky but I was curvy now, since the red dress that Sophia made me wear was so fit on me that I can barely breathe. And she was right, I looked... gorgeous.

I opened my mouth to agree with Pia, when there was a loud knock at my door.

"Come in." says Pia.

Pia smiles widely as her prince (her words, not mine) Marco entered the room. She ran to him and crushed him in a tight hug as if they hadn't seen each other for a year or so. Then they started making out.. in front of me! Ugh!

I cleared my throat, but they didn't stop exploring each other's mouths, so I just grabbed my purse (which consists my phone, lipstick, and a mirror - yeah, I'm that self concious) and turned to walk away to give them privacy. I closed the door softly, and sighed.

I still envy Pia, because she has a normal relationship with her mate. Unlike me, who, as of this is moment, is very confused.

I mean, just two days ago, my mate doesn't even know my existence. Yes, we live in the same house and in the same room, but he barely recognize me, talk to me, nor spare me a glance. Then, all of a sudden, he's acting very weird. I mean, the guy kissed me last night! And he looked at me like I was the most important person in his life.

We are the most important person in his life, my wolf said.

What if this is just a game? What if he's just playing with us? I asked.

What if he was sincere? my wolf asked me.

I stayed silent after that. There are so many possibilities as to why he was acting like that. I sighed. I shouldn't think about his actions. I should think about the contract, and just get it over with. Right. The contract. If I were lucky enough to finish that damn thing, I might break his heart...

Why does my heart ache by just thinking about doing that to him? And why is my wolf suddenly acting so weird too? I mean, she did want me to sign the contract, and finish it. She was eager to break Giovanni's heart.

Does that mean that she has changed her mind?

Ugh! Honestly, I should just stop thinking...

Since my brain was elsewhere, I didn't see the wall in front of me, so I bumped into it and stumbled backwards and ended up having my butt slammed into the floor.
