Probably Fenja was not thinking straight, and she was being impulsive, but the image of him and Nadia kept playing in her mind made her feel very disgusted to even see Shayne face.
"I, Fenja Andrea Harts, reject you…"
However, before Fenja could finish her sentence to reject Shayne, he had slapped her so hard, it sent her to the floor.
Her ears rang by the sudden force and for a few second, she didn't even realize what just happened. Fenja stared at him, while holding her burning cheek.
Shayne was livid, he yelled at her.
Fenja had never seen him this mad before and truth be told, it was very terrifying. He was the alpha after all.
"I have enough with your tantrum!" Shayne snapped at Fenja. He towered above her, his eyes filled with annoyance. "I said we will talk about this! I have tolerated enough of your childishness! You should be the luna of this pack! This is not how we fixed problem! How could you want to reject me for one mistake?!"
Fenja sat there on the floor, listening to Shayne's rambling. She didn't know this man… he looked like an entirely different person.
"I will not tolerate this anymore! You have humiliated me and put me through an uncomfortable situation! You make me deploy all the warriors to look for you, leaving them with question about what happened between us!"
Fenja tuned out the rest of his long rambles. He talked about how important communication was and the sacred mate bond between them. How it was not strong enough since they had been apart for so long and his idea to fix it.
The slap really shocked Fenja, she couldn't get her mind straight with the addition Shayne showed her the side that she had never seen before, which confused her even further.
Her ears kept ringing and by the time Shayne knelt down in front of Fenja his expression softened, he stretched out his hand to caress her cheek, his brows furrowed.
"I don't want to hurt you, but you should know that you are the luna of the pack. You have to mind your action and think twice before you throw a tantrum." His voice was gentle. "We can fix this."
He then continued with his monologue.
"You will be the luna of the pack. I will forgive you for your outburst this time, but next time, I want you to think clearly before you ran away. You are not a child. That's not a good example of a luna." Shayne grabbed her elbow to pull her up. "And one more, I don't appreciate it if you threw the word of rejection very easily. This is a sacred bond that we shared."
"Next time?" Fenja narrowed her eyes. She was sure that she heard it wrongly. "What do you mean with next time? Are you planning to sleep with her again next time?"
Fenja gritted her teeth. She glared at Shayne. Her anger returned and the alpha could feel it.
"That's a mistake. It will never happen again." He shook his head. "We will talk about this tomorrow. I will give you the space that you need. I will not return tonight, but don't overthink it. I have an important meeting with my beta and gamma."
There were a lot of things to talk about after the long battle against the Winterbreeze pack after all.
"You are my mate. Someone, whom I will spend the rest of my life with. Don't throw it away for your ridiculous outburst."
In his eyes, it was a ridiculous outburst…
"We will talk about this tomorrow when you already calmed down and stopped being a child." Shayne kissed her forehead like he used to do. "Go and get some rest. There are a few things I need to take care of."
Fenja sat there, watching Shayne walked away from her. She was still astonished with how he turned things around and made it sound like it was her fault.
He emphasized the fact that she ran away, not the reason behind it.
Her head hurt and if there was one thing that Shayne was right, it would be; she was in a dire need to rest.
Fenja couldn't even feel her body when she went to her bedroom and lay down there. She felt like she could sleep for a whole day or even more.
Soon enough, Fenja fell asleep, only to be woken up an hour later by a loud noise from her bedroom door. Someone knocked crazily. From the sound of it, Fenja wouldn't be surprised if they tore it down.
"Fenja! Come out, I need to talk with you!"
Fenja recognized her voice, it must be the former luna; Luna Rachel. She was Shayne's mother and she was the person, who was very against Shayne to have an omega like Fenja to be his mate and the future luna.
She must be joyful with tears when she learned that her son finally gave up to the temptation and sleep with Nadia.
Fenja wanted to ignore her, but it was obvious that she wouldn't go, the former luna was getting obnoxious.
"Come out now, you dirty omega!"
Fenja finally pushed her tired body from the bed and got up, she was not ready for another confrontation, but with former luna Rachel, it was unavoidable.
And once Fenja opened the door, a harsh slap landed on her cheek, which made her staggered back. This was not as hard as Shayne's, but it was still a slap that filled with hatred nonetheless.
"How dare you to come to my son like that?! How dare you to humiliate Nadia like that?!" Rachel roared when she approached Fenja and screamed to her face so loud.
Behind Rachel, Fenja could see Nadia was standing there, watching everything unfolded. Her face twisted and her eyes were red. Needless to say, she must have tattled to Rachel.
"How dare you laid your hand on Nadia?!"
