Revenge served in a black dress (Nora and Jace) novel Chapter 34

Nora

She watched the sun come up and, as tired as she was, she couldn’t sleep. The nurses came in and checked her surgical wound. She had an incision across her lower abdomen. “That will scar if your wolf doesn’t heal you,” Carlos told her on his rounds. He’d also checked it, but she know it was him just checking to see if her

wolf was awake.

“She’s not going to heal it, can’t.” Nora stated, “It’ll just be a permanent reminder is all.” she muttered, one of her life inside this pack to go with the scars on her feet and inside of her hands, “I want to go back to my room.” She stated she didn’t want to be in this room, but didn’t really have the energy or strength to get out of

the bed and move to another ward like she had last time.

She was in the Luna’s Medical Suite once again, a place she didn’t want to be in, a place that was not for her, and the more she was in here, the more it was starting to affect her emotionally. Turmoil was building inside of her, and she wanted it gone. It was almost hard to believe that a single room was causing her pain, a bloody freaking hospital room. She could feel the tears welling up at just the thought of not belonging in this

room.

“I don’t advise moving you right now, your injuries are quite bad,” Carlos told her as she saw the door to the room open, and once again saw the word Luna Medical Suite on them. Every time someone came in or out that door, she was reminded that this room belonged to Gloria, the woman Jace actually loved.

That she was only in here, as a show for the pack’s allies, not because it was where she belonged. She looked at the pack’s Gamma, Matthew, as he stepped into the room and shook her head. Why did he even bother? That was her thought as she felt those stupid tears well up and spill. She reached up and brushed them away. Pulled herself together and shut herself off to him.

“I want to be alone, and I don’t want people coming and going from this room. I don’t want to be in this room.”

She looked at Carlos. “I want to be discharged,”

“I don’t advise it. If your wolf was healing you, I would allow it, but…”

“I don’t care.” She grated out and felt that Gamma Charm roll over her and she turned to look at him. “It won’t

work, I’m not you’re charge.” She told him coldly.

“Carlos, if you could give Nora and I, a moment,” Matt asked

“Don’t bother, I don’t want your help, I won’t accept it either.” she stared right at him defiantly.

Matt smiled at her a little. “Do you really think you can ignore it? Beat me at what I’m built for.”

“Yes.” She stated, “I dare you to try it” She stared right at him. He could only affect her if she had emotions to be controlled, and she was rapidly running out of them. Rapidly becoming uncaring about anything other than wanting out of this very room. That was the only thing she cared about right at that minute

“You are my charge…” he stated, “All she wolves are.” He told her and she heard the southern drawl.

“Yes, I’m sure L, as a she–wolf, concern you greatly.” Her voice was laced with sarcasm, and she turned her eyes away from him to stare at the ceiling. Because that was all she was to this pack, to him. Then a part of her wondered if she did let it all out could she overload his senses and break him. Make him feel utterly

uscless

Her eyes moved to him as she thought about that. He had no idea about everything she’d gone through. “You can’t,” he stated, “I’m gifted to handle everything you can dish out.”

“No, you’re not.” She rolled her eyes once more. “You’re designed to handle what the pack Luna feels. I’m not that, so she shrugged.

“You are that because you are the Alpha’s Mate.”

A full snort of angry amusement came from her, and she actually laughed bitterly into the room. It kind of sounded a bit hysterical, but it quickly dissolved into anger. “I may be his Mate, but I am not his Luna.” She grated out. “Get out.” She snarled at him and watched him tilt his head and frown at her.

Oh yes! Try, she thought, because I feel nothing but emptiness and anger. She felt his hand touch hers and fury built inside of her, as she felt him try to charm her into calming down, she would not be charmed back into Jace’s arms or his bed.

No, that man needed to suffer like she had, an evil kind of laugh bubbled up inside of her and then escaped her. Yes, touch me, she thought, as her eyes landed right on him, and she rolled her hand over in his and allowed her fingers to glide across his hand softly, tenderly.

‘Pain for pain. She thought, and Matt’s hand was snatched back away from hers instantly, and she laughed, fully amused now, he’d felt her intent, to cause Jace pains of betrayal. To use his own Gamma to do it, “Yes, touch me, and try to charm me into what you want, and see what happens, who will win the game. I do think I can beat you” she laughed a little on the menacing side.

He stepped right back away from her and turned and left the room, and she laughed some more, and there it

was, formulating inside her mind, her plan to make that Mate of hers suffer like she had.

All she had to do was make him feel every day what she’d felt, for as long as she had felt it. Revenge, she realized, was actually easy. She wondered if he could deal with her dishing it out right back at him, or would he fume about it, and not be able to take what he’d given to her. Call her all sorts of vile names and state she

was unfaithful to him.

All she had to do was lovingly caress a person that wasn’t him, on an arm, a hand, one’s face or ear, through their hair or to a lip, all the places she’d felt his betrayal of their mate bond for all those months.

A smile touched her face; what is good for the goose, is good for the gander, you want to play, then let’s play. It’s my turn now to roll the dice. Your turn is over, let’s just see who wins the game.

She felt a mind–link connect to her about an hour later. ‘I think it was best you lost that baby, don’t you, I’ll

find another to surrogate for me. Gloria’s voice came down the link soft and sickeningly sweet, though she

could also feel the amusement in the woman’s words.

‘Yes.’ Nora answered simply, I actually do.”

‘Good, I’m glad we’re on the same page. I’ll have words with Jace, and we’ll keep our hands to ourselves for now. If you agree to leave, I will see that you’ll feel no more pains of betrayal from him. You may leave

anytime you like and give me back my Alpha. Gloria grated out.

“Agreed, when Carlos tells me I’m well enough, I’ll make plans and leave.” She smiled, she had already done

that anyway. ‘All I ask is that you also give me the curtesy of time, to find somewhere to go, won’t you, my

Luna.

There was silence for several seconds. She’d never once addressed Gloria as the actual Luna before, always called her Gloria. She’d called her Luna before, but never my Luna as she’d heard so many in the pack here do

before.

‘Fine, but you’ll reject him and leave”

1 will. I’ll even tells

the day I’m going to do it, before it happens, so you can be right there with him, for him

to claim you. Will that work for you? she asked in return.

‘Don’t get smart with me, I can cause you a world of pain. Do you like it when he can’t resist touching me? Do you want to feel the full effects of his true feelings for me? Gloria sneered at her.

‘Do your worst, I’ll allow everyone in the pack to feel my pain and agony, no more will I hide it. I told you that before, I will scream down the hallways and beg him to stop f*****g you, for all to hear Two could play her game. “Wolves don’t like pains of betrayal willing being inflicted on another.

‘I may not hold the title you hold or have his heart in anyway, but I am still his Mate. Who do you think will get the blame? Me the victim, in complete and utter agony, or you, when you know he’s got a Mate, are the Luna and are willing to cause another such pains, on purpose when your job is to protect the she–wolves of the pack” she laughed into the room as the link disconnected abruptly.

The answer was no. They’d also look down on their Alpha for doing that to his Mate or should do, but she didn’t think this pack would, they’d already turned a blind eye to it all. Probably would do so again, but she had a feeling Gloria didn’t want to be seen as an evildoer and that was why she’d not suffered the full pains of betrayal of them two actually taking it all the way and f*****g.

Under normal circumstances, it could well see him lose his pack over something like that. But here he was likely to get away with it. They would forgive him the moment she was gone from this pack. Because he would tell them he loved Gloria and wanted her for his Luna, that she, Nora, wasn’t fit to be a Luna. He’d been working on making this pack see her as childish and selfish, unfit to rule alongside him, from the very day he’d brought her home. He’d laid out all the groundwork already
