A Beautiful Luna After Rejection-Chapter 278 - Running Away The Same Way

She left without her mate’s consent.

I saw that the smile on Kate’s face had suddenly disappeared. I knew I didn’t need to ask to confirm this with her. She must not have told Alex that she was coming here.

I hesitated before asking softly, “Why are you doing this?”

Anger flashed across Kate’s face and disappeared very quickly. I almost thought it was an illusion. Kate lowered her head and said expressionlessly, “There’s no reason. I just wanted... to leave and relax.”

Kate looked down at her watch. I noticed that it was a new accessory.

Kate didn’t have the habit of wearing a watch before, but it was a classic and serious lady’s watch, unlike her usual style. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

I grabbed Kate’s hand, and I could understand Kate’s current mood and situation. After all, I also had a not-so-friendly time with my mate.

I regretted not being with my mate earlier, but I knew that this was a process that must be experienced. From another point of view, if Michael and I did not have that kind of conflict, we might not have had such a harmonious time together.

“It’s fine.” I tried my best to sound cheerful. “You can stay here as long as you want. There are many rooms here. I’ll ask Michael to give you the best room.”

Kate looked up at me and smiled happily for the first time since I saw her. “Thank you, Cecily. However, I’m afraid I have to decline your good intentions. I have to go back today.”

At this point, her shoulders drooped again, and she looked a little depressed.”You’ve already guessed that Alex didn’t allow me to come here. He doesn’t allow me to go anywhere. I’m forced to stay in his house every day, and I must stop my studies. This was the kind of life I didn’t want the most, but I don’t hate it that much. In turn, I hated myself for becoming like this.”

I couldn’t help but fall silent after hearing what Kate said.

I didn’t know what to say to comfort her. Kate’s ambitions in her studies were much greater than mine, and I had to abandon my studies and even my parents to come to Michael’s pack. In a relationship, it seemed that women always sacrificed more.

I held Kate’s hand and tried to console her. “But you look much better than before. Mateship also has its benefits, doesn’t it? I was just like you, trying to escape from that Prince, but look at me now, I can’t be separated from Michael. You just need more time.”

“I hope so...” Kate forced a smile.

I rubbed my temples to prevent myself from thinking about Alex’s reaction after discovering that Kate had disappeared. If Kate could only stay with me for a while, I should at least keep her in a happy mood and not worry about her mate.

Even though I knew that Alex was doing all sorts of things to search for Kate and that she would end up in the same miserable state as I was when Michael captured me, I still didn’t know what to do.

However, let us enjoy ourselves while we could.

I chatted with Kate about some light-hearted topics, and I kept telling her about the good things that happened between Michael and me, hoping that this would strengthen her confidence in her relationship with Alex.

Due to my previous relationship with Robert, Kate had been very concerned. I was always worried that my failure would leave a bad impression on her about my mate.

A werewolf needed to find his mate.

Moreover, the Moon Goddess could easily group two completely different people. This meant that it would take a long time for two people to communicate and integrate. This was a challenging task. I was on good terms with Michael now, and I felt I was responsible for giving Kate and Alex a good ending.

Before I knew it, Kate and I had already chatted for a few hours.

I pressed the bell to get the servants to bring us some food, but when we heard the knock on the door, Kate and I were shocked to see the people outside.

The people standing outside the door weren’t the servants who delivered the food, but rather, it was Alpha Alex and Michael.

Alex’s face was gloomy, and his thick brows were furrowed into a knot, showing that he was in a rather bad mood. Michael stood by the side with a nonchalant expression that seemed to be smiling yet not smiling.

Kate subconsciously took a step back. I glanced at her and wanted to stand in front of her, but Michael pulled me into his arms.

I glared at Michael, and Michael glared back, unwilling to be outdone. I was too exhausted to be angry with him, so I turned to look at Kate.

Alex also stepped forward and pulled Kate into his arms. Kate’s body looked a little stiff, but she didn’t resist. Instead, she gently put her hand on Alex’s shoulder.
