Chapter 16
Lilac had never drunk too much before this and she felt like her whole b*dy was burning at this moment, as if there was flame inside her chest. Her face had turned red, she needed to stop, but Hunter kept pouring more and more wine, which she hardly could resist.
She knew it was a foolish action and luna Jasmine had tried to make her stop, but she was not in the right. mind at that moment and wanted to drink until oblivion to numb her pain that suddenly came rushing in her veins all of sudden again.
Probably because of the alcohol made Lilac became a little bit melancholic about her predicament and Hunter didn’t help at all, if she was sober enough, she would have noticed how determined he wanted to make her drunk.
Thankfully, she could stop before it got so much worse and walked out of the room because the alphas were going to sign the peace treaty and discuss a few things, where the women should leave the men.
Lilac stumbled, she shook her head when she walked out of the room and luna Jasmine came to her side to help her.
“Are you okay? How could you drink like that?” Juna Jasmine nagged her in motherly tone and low voice, she was upset to see how messed up Lilac was and even more because all of this happened during the critical time.
The plan was for Aiden and Lilac to have their ceremony, once her son got back from the war to cement Lilac’s status as the future luna of the pack, but Aiden chose to bring back the woman.
“My head hurt,” Lilac whined, she felt like the world was spinning. Hunter was truly awful, he made her drunk
“Serve you right,” luna Jasmine grumbled, but she helped her to get some fresh air in the balcony. She sat her there in the chair, facing the backyard garden, the wind carried the smell of flower, which helped Lilac to feel a little bit better with this fresh air. “I will go and get something for you to drink and ask someone to make a sober soup for you. Don’t go anywhere, una Jasmine said sternly.
She liked Lilac, but she couldn’t deny Ruby, since she was pregnant with Aiden’s firstborn, which would become her first grandchild. This situation was very upsetting. Only if Lilac was getting pregnant, their status would be the same and she had a strong reason to support her.
Only if she got pregnant…
Luna Jasmine narrowed her eyes, she looked over her shoulder at the drunken Lilac.
Currently, Lilac was oblivious to her surroundings, she had never drunk before, therefore, she couldn’t handle it well, she felt like her head was going to split into two.
However, sitting in the open area like this made the pain slightly subsided, she opened her eyes after some time and then stared at the bright moon in the night sky. It was a beautiful night and the street was still very lively, she could hear the sound of the music on the background, but this place was rather quiet.
Lilac took a deep breath and leaned her head on the armrest and wriggled her b*dy to find a comfortable position. She stayed like that until luna Jasmine returned, but she didn’t bring any soup and only a glass of water with her.
“Come with me, Lilac,” luna Jasmine said. “You need to get some rest, it will be good for you to lay down. for a while.
Lilac narrowed her eyes, she stared at luna Jasmine but then shook her head. “I want to stay here, mother.
But, luna Jasmine refused the suggestion. “No, you can’t stay here. Tonight is cold, you can get sick. Come, I have prepared a room for you and a bowl of subber soup. You will feel better.”
“But, I want to stare at the moon.” Lilac didn’t want to go, she liked to be here. Why luna Jasmine kept bothering her?
“You can’t be here, Lilac, come with mother, don’t be stubborn, okay?” Luna Jasmine said in her motherly tone, as she caressed her head. She had known Lilac for this past year and they had been so close, since she was under her tutelage, therefore she knew how to make her agreed.
In the end, stumbling on her feet, luna Jasmine helped Lilac to get to the room that she had prepared and tucked her in.
“I will get the soup for a while, okay?” She k*ssed Lilac’s forehead, but her eyes became a little bit complicated for a second, before a determination stilled her heart and tunned out all the hesitation. “I will be back, don’t go anywhere.”
“Hm.” Lilac snuggled into the warm blanket, she felt so sleepy and didn’t think she would taste the soup.
Once the door was closed, she shut her eyes as well and fell asleep rather easily.
Meanwhile, luna Jasmine looked anxious when she asked to other people where Aiden was and only found Ruby, who was sitting on the corner, like a lost child.
Without a second thought, she came toward the young woman and she started out of her mind to see the huna, since Ruby remembered this certain person had never liked her at all, even though she did nothing
wrong.
“Where is my son?” luna Jasmine asked, her voice was so cold, it was so different from when she talked with Lilac earlier. She looked like she was going to strangle this young woman to death.
1- I don’t know..” Ruby stuttered, “He went away angrily and not allowed me to come.”
Luna Jasmine scoffed when she heard that. “Of course, why would he want you to follow him? The sight of you alone is already disgusted him,”
Hearing that, tears started to roll Ruby’s eyes. “Why do you hate me so much?”
