Chapter 12
Gasps echoed around them. Everyone’s eyes darted between Rowan and Jade.
Jade? His mate?
Whispers spread across the crowd who were watching intently.
“No way… did he say mate?”
“That omega?”
“She’s… his?”
Felix staggered back, shaking his head in disbelief. His world was spinning. “No, that can’t be true…”
Jade smiled, “Like I earlier said, Felix. You invited me, when you invited my mate, Alpha Rowan.”
Felix’s face twisted with disbelief and confusion. “You’re lying! This is some kind of twisted joke! You can’t be his mate. You’re just doing this to spite me!”
Jade laughed. “Really? Do you think you’re that important?”
Bella laughed nervously as she stepped closer with a forced smile on her face. “Alpha Rowan, you are such a great and renowned Alpha. Your pack is the largest and the most powerful pack.” She started.
She pointed toward Jade.
“What I don’t understand is how someone like her could ever be your mate. She’s an omega. A nobody!”
Rowan’s eyes darkened at Bella’s words.
“Careful, both of you,” he warned coldly. “That’s the second time you’ve insulted my Luna. I won’t tolerate a third.”
Everyone tensed as the air thickened with authority. No one dared to interrupt. Jade looked directly at Felix now. Felix realized that she looked so different now. She looked regal, calm, and beautiful. Was it the dress? He asked himself.
“Why is it so hard to believe, Felix?” Jade asked quietly. “Is it because you thought I would always stay beneath you?”
Felix clenched his jaw, but she wasn’t done.
“Because you thought I would remain the omega you could mock and trample on, and I would just keep chasing after scraps of love from you?”

Felix opened his mouth, but Jade cut him off before he could form a word.

“Well, you were wrong,” she said sharply, “And I’m done waiting around for you, I’m done chasing after your scraps of love.”
Bella refused to believe that Jade had landed a bigger Alpha that she had. She had gamma bloodline, Jade was a lowly omega.
“Bullshit!” She spat. “This is all a performance. Alpha Rowan would never choose someone like you.”
She sneered. “Tell us, what did you promise to give him in exchange for all these? Are you whoring yourself to him? Because everyone knows that you’re just a used–up little omega with nothing to offer!”
“Enough!” Rowan barked, turned to her with his eyes blazing with anger.
Everyone flinched at the intensity of his voice, and they hurriedly stepped away from Bella to avoid being included in Rowan’s wrath.
Bella paled as she stumbled back. She just realized that she might have gone too far.
“I’ve been patient. I’ve tolerated your disrespect, trying to be nice. But it seems like you don’t even deserve it.”
Jade placed her hand gently on Rowan’s arm. He glanced at her, and she shook her head, silently telling him to let it go.
He clenched his jaw, before he finally relaxed, releasing a deep breath.
Rowan raised his voice as he looked across the crowd.
“I’ll let this pass now! But let it be known,” he announced. “From this day forward, Jade is my Luna, and the Luna of the Red Moon Pack. Anyone who disrespects her disrespects me. And anyone who lays a finger on her…” he glanced at Felix, his voice like ice, “…will not live to regret it.”
With that, he turned to Jade.
“Are you ready, my Luna?” he asked gently.
Jade nodded as tears of joy welled up in her eyes. “Yes. I am.”
Felix’s eyes widened in surprise, “Wait, you’re leaving?”
Jade lifted an eyebrow, “What do you think?”
He spluttered in disbelief, “But…but you can’t leave!”
Jade tilted her head in mock curiosity, “Really, and why is that?”
“Because…what about… the pack? The pack needs you, the pack clinic needs

you! You can’t just abandon everything!” He exclaimed.

Jade shrugged dismissively, “They can all manage just fine. Besides, you said that I was just an omega, a nobody. So, what can a nobody do for your pack, Felix?”
Felix opened his mouth then closed it. He had nothing to say to that. Then suddenly he smirked smugly, surprising everyone around.
“Well, you’re forgetting one thing.” He drawled.
Jade wasn’t fazed by his smug look. “And what is that?”
“You haven’t been officially released by the alpha of your pack to leave.” He said with glee dancing in his eyes.
