My Name is NOT Cupcake

Chapter 31

The next morning, I didn't wake up with Elias in the room, like he had been for the last week. I guess

out intimate time was over. I should have known it was too good to last. He wasn't in the house

anywhere. I walked downstairs to see a guy sitting on the couch. I looked at him curiously. When he

saw me, he stood and bowed.

"Luna," he said respectfully. I walked in the living room.

"Um, no, don't do that. I'm Nova... just Nova," I said. "Who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Darius. The Alpha sent me to watch after you while he is away on pack business," he explained. I

thought Peyton normally babysat me when Elias was away. I guess after the 'pizza? surprise-it's-

actually-Mason' incident, Peyton wasn't watching me anymore.

"You can relax," I said. He sat on the couch and faced the TV. I turned and headed for the kitchen,

making Darius jump to his feet again immediately.

"Luna, where are you going?" he asked. Darius followed me into the kitchen. I ignored him and made

something to eat for myself. Minnie came down to the kitchen with Rhett. I cooed over him and held

him while Minnie made him a bottle.

"So who all lives here?" I asked out of curiosity. I knew this was Elias' house, but he had a few select

people actually living here... me being one. Minnie shrugged and cradled Rhett as she fed him a bottle.

"Well, obviously you, the Alpha, Taylor, Rhett, Kendra and me," she answered.

"What? What do you mean? I thought this was Eli's house," I asked. She nodded.

"It is," she said before she left. I didn't know what to say anymore. Sure, I'd seen her around before the

whole 'heat' incident, but I didn't know that she lived here. I turned to Darius. I was fuming. He should

have mentioned something about that.

"Tell Elias to get his ass home... right now," I growled at him He looked at me shocked.

"Luna, I-I don't think-"

"Now!" I said before I took the rest of my food up to my room. I ate angrily and set the plate aside as I

waited impatiently. Half an hour later, Elias burst in the room looking around worried.

"What's wrong? Are you hurt?" Elias rambled, looking me over worried. I stood with a glare and my

arms crossed. Words could not describe how angry I was. Elias was slowly getting it. "Uh oh... what did

I do this time?" he asked, stepping back.

"You don't think it would have been important to tell me that the person that keeps getting in between

us fucking lives here. She lives here! Really, Elias? She is fucking living here?" I asked irritated, raising

my voice.

"Nova, you're overreacting," he said. My eyes widened. If there was one thing you should never tell an

angry woman, it was that she's overreacting and that she needs to calm down.

"Overreacting?!" You slept with her when I went into heat. If you want me to believe that you won't do it

again, you'll get rid of her. I want her out," I seethed.

"There's no need to be jealous, cupcake. Kendra has been living here for two years," he said. That was

an insult to injury. All this time...

"You didn't think that that would be a problem when I got here?" I asked incredulously. "I want her

gone," I snapped.

"That's not going to happen, Nova. At least not immediately... this is her home," Elias said. I could feel

the power behind his words but it only made angrier.

"Screw you!" I yelled at him before I left the room.

"Nova!" He called after me. I didn't stop. I went downstairs and out the door. I walked through town and

ended up at the orphanage. I went straight back to the classroom where I knew Yana would be.

"Nona!" Alana and Anya yelled in unison. They ran up to me and hugged me. I immediately smiled and

hugged them back. The last time I saw them wasn't pleasant for them, I knew.

"Glad to see you back, Luna," Yana said. I held up a hand as I sat with her.

"Please, Yana... Just Nova," I said. I helped her with the kids for the rest of the day.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
