60.2 % Chapter 78 Bella was a woman who prided herself on being really beautiful and of high intelligence .
On top of that , she belonged to a high family , giving her the aristocratic value that so many other women could only envy .
Sadly , she was actually dumber than she gave herself credit for .
And very obvious too .
Looking at her , it was pretty clear that seeing me and Haelor together had ignited her jealousy .
Well , got anything to say for yourself ? She still had that sly grin on her face as she eyed me from head to toe .
I felt my hands tighten into fists by my side .
There were a lot of things I could take , but it definitely wasnt taunts and attacks at my character .
So I am right then , she scoffed .
Go sit with yourself and change your ways , Emma .
Its not ideal for a woman to whore herself around .
Unless … She paused , a glint flicking behind her eyes .
Im not surprised .
After your failed relationship , its no surprise that the only way you can cope is by being a whore .
Haelor had a murderous look in his eyes as he watched Bella .
Ever since we were kids , Id always been good at picking up Haelors mood changes .
This was one of them .
And if care wasnt taken , he would make her regret everything she was saying .
His eyes read murder as he took a step forward .
I pulled him back , making him briefly turn to him .
I need you to relax for me .
Okay ? He stared for a while , his eyes softening just a little before he nodded .
My hand remained interlaced with his , never quite letting go of him .
Bella was watching everything , a look of anger and jealousy on her face .
She couldnt even be more obvious if she wanted .
Whats wrong ? I asked innocently .
Jealous ? She glared at me before clicking her tongue .

Like hell Id be jealous of someone like you .
Oh ? I snaked my arm around Haelors arm before resting my head on his shoulder .

I grinned slyly , not letting go of Haelor for the slightest second .
Wait , The smile on my lips grew .
You dont have a crush on Haelor , do you ? Her eyes immediately flicked to Haelor and her cheeks became the colour of a tomato .
She stuttered over her words as she tried to explain .
Its not I d dont … But I remember you have a mate , dont you ? I continued in an innocent voice .
Publicly betraying your bond just lie that is a great offense before the Moon God and he wont take it lightly with you .
The look on Bellas face was priceless .
It was pretty obvious she had been caught in headlights .
Her face had paled as she processed my words .
She probably didnt know whether she would really be punished by the Moon God .
The guilt was very evident on her face just looking at her .
I opened my mouth to say something else when the words got caught in my throat .
Standing there at the top of the stairs was none other than Askhan .
He had a cold look on his face as he looked down at us .
Haelor stared back at him with the indifference of a general who had nothing to fear .
Bella on the other hand cowered under the weight of his stare .
His eyes werent even fixed on her .
They were focused solely on me .
Thea , He calmly said , making his way down the stairs till he was halfway down .
I turned to Haelor who had a look of concern in his eyes as he watched me .
I sent him a nod , silently saying Id be okay .
It was just Askhan .
Nothing to fear .
Askhan , I replied coolly , detaching myself from Haelor .
Come to the ball .
I shook my head .
I think Ill pass .
Its not a question , he insisted .
The Queen Luna is waiting for you .
She wants you before her .

All instincts in my body screamed to obey and I knew then , that I had no choice but to oblige .
Just before I went up the stairs , I sent one final glance at Haelor .
He nodded his head , a form of silent solidarity.
I nodded back and turned to Askhan , making my way up the stairs to meet him .
His eyes went over me for a brief second before he led us into the palace .
The palace had been decorated just for the ball .
The chandelier glistened with a certain brightness that bathed the whole room with a warm glow .
Askhan lead us into a private area jut overlooking the whole expanse of the ball room .
I spotted the Queen Luna sitting in her chair .
A small breath left my lips when I spotted Emma in her arms .
As soon as Emmas eyes landed on me , she let out an excited squeal .
She jumped off the Queen and threw herself into her arms .
Mom , where have you been ? She asked , her voice filled with excitement .
We had sooo much fun .
I laughed .
Im glad you had a wonderful time , sweetheart .
I turned to the Queen Luna who was watching our interaction with an amused look in her eyes .
Forgive me for being late , your majesty .
I bowed my head .
Thank you for taking care of Emma .
Theres nothing to thank me for , Thea .
She smiled .
Its my responsibility to take care of any puppies in the pack .
You might have that responsibility too .
