The b***h Luna

15. Take it or leave it

I looked around our suite only to find that I'm all alone. Keith must've left right after our conversation. I guess he doesn't care about my filings after all. Realizing that made me this time angry not sad.

I went to my closet and took a suitcase from a top shelf. I decided to prepare myself for the worst. I packed some of my clothes and put a prepared suitcase under the bed in the spare bedroom that I once occupied. I sat in the living room and waited. I was more than ready to talk with my Mate and this time I won't run away crying.

It was long past midnight when the front doors quietly opened. Keith glanced around the room and was shocked seeing me sitting in a corner of a couch.

"I thought you'll be sleeping by now" - he said

"I'm not tired and I believe we should finish our previous conversation."

"Is there anything more to say?"

"I think there is, and you could start with apologizing to me." - I sand coldly

"And for what exactly?" - he asked clearly annoyed

"Maybe for judging me harshly."

"Cecilia, you're the one who's been to hash to her own people, and words that I said were just some constructive criticism and I'm not going to apologize for that."

"Constructive criticism, huh? It didn't feel constructive, more like pointing out that I'm a terrible Luna."

He let a loud sigh and looked at me for a moment before continuing.

"Cecilia, you're the one that did something wrong therefore should apologize."

"Oh, yeah? And for what exactly? Maybe for wanting our household to have high standards? Or maybe for making the hard decision of saving those who came to shelter in time rather than risking all of their lives?"

"Dear Mate, don't you think that you should be the one showing high standards, while you chose to drop out of school and decided that spending money would be your life's purpose." - he said sarcastically

"That's really hurtful, don't you think that adjusting Pack House is a great responsibility? I wanted to create cosy home for us and those who live here. Don't you think that's important?"

"I could find at least ten more urgent matters for Luna's attention, we weren't living in a shed, you know?!"

"Maybe not a shed but bachelor cave for sure. You said you want me to feel at home here and suddenly change bothers you. You're confusing Keith. Tell me then what do you expect from me? What should I do to make you happy? Cause as far as I know you haven't complained about anything." - I said easing my voice with annoyance

" I want you to start thinking about a Pack not only yourself!" - he also raised his voice

" I do care about them!"

" No, you don't! I bet you can't name one thing that you did for our people sake."

" Is that how you really think of me or is that your Gamma speaking now?" - I spit crossing my arms

" That's true I've been keeping blind eye on you and my closest friend brought this to my attention but you need to start acting like a real Luna!"

" And what exactly real Luna should be like?"

" Oh, I don't know, maybe less spoiled and self centered?!" - he screamed this one

" Spoiled?! Self centered?! You know what 'Alpha' "- I said while narrowing my eyes and making a quote gesture -" I don't have to stand here and listen to your insults. You haven't done s**t to help me adjust and now out of the blue I'm not good enough for your precious Pack."

" That's the point Cecilia. It's our pack and you don't act like you feel any sort of responsibility rather like a playing brat."

" Nice one Keith, you really know how to support your woman. I think I've heard enough. Sorry for being such a disappointment. I'll spend the night in a spare bedroom. Goodnight."

I turned on my heel and left. I've had enough if you think that this was constructive than I don't think he knows the meaning of that word. So I guess it's decided then. If I'm not appreciated here I should leave and wait for him to beg for my return.

With that thought I sat by the door listening to the sound of his preparations to sleep. After thirty minutes I heard his steady breeding letting me know that he is fast asleep. I took my suitcase from under the bed and on my tiptoes went out of Alpha suite.

Trying to avoid any pack member I went to the garage. Put my suitcase in the trunk of my car and drove into the night.
