Nova.
Stand down, Nova! As a Luna of the Blue Lake pack, I command you and your human to stand down!
It is not I in attack mode, Luna! It is my human! She is crazed!
THEN AS HER WOLF, YOU SHOULD BE REELING HER BACK IN!!
I can’t! She has shut me out!
Then you are as weak as she is!
I turned off the link to Nova and used my powers to keep Lorelai at bay. The crowd gasped as I stalked forward and kept pushing her back, without even laying a finger on her. After she was a good distance away, I forced her to shift back into her human form, causing her to shriek in the process. I recently found out that forcing a wolf to shift back into their human was painful, but she gave me no other choice.
“What the f**k!? What are you doing to me!?” Lorelai screamed once she fully returned to human form. Kaleigh turned her head to face Lanie’s wolf, Atlanta and tapped into her mind as well.
ATLANTA, GIVE LANIE BACK CONTROL!!! LANIE, SHIFT BACK NOW!!
Without hesitation, Atlanta gave Lanie control and shifted back. The sheer terror in her eyes was evident as she realized that she shifted for the first time and was about to go head-to-head with another female over her mate bond with Chad. There was fight and passion in Lanie, something she hadn’t shown before. Maybe Wyatt was right, having Chad as a mate would be a good thing for her.
I turned my attention back to Lorelai and immediately shifted back myself. I continued to subdue her with my powers, and I saw fear overcome her expression as she came to the realization that I was the one doing it to her. “What are you?” she screamed. “A blessed wolf, and a Luna. You dare attack my pack member!?” I blasted her in my Luna tone. Even though the girls were never formally accepted into our pack, I still considered them as such. “WE ARE GUESTS OF YOUR ALPHA! AND THIS IS HOW WE ARE TREATED!?” I roared in her face. I let my mind relax before I continued, releasing her from my hold. She stayed frozen in her spot. “Are you not aware that physically attacking a Luna is punishable by death?”
“I didn’t attack you!”
“I’m not talking about me,” I shouted at Lorelai, “I’m talking about her!” I pointed at Lanie; the crowd gasped and Lanie paled. I knew she hadn’t accepted Chad out loud, but seeing her reaction to someone challenging her mate bond already proved she was going to. Though, none of that mattered right now. Being of Alpha blood meant that she was already considered a ranked wolf, and attacking a ranked wolf unprovoked was illegal. Attacking any wolf for that matter, but a ranked wolf was even worse. “She’s… She’s not… She can’t be! Look at her!” Lorelai cried out.
“Look at what? Since when does physical appearance justify who or what a Luna is!?” I bellowed back.
“She’s not like you, Luna! She’s weak! I can sense how weak she is! She would never be a suitable mate for Chad! And her being a Luna makes no sense!” I baffled at how she claimed to sense Lanie’s weakness. There anything but weakness coming from Lanie. “Why? Because she was taken in, off the streets? Newsflash, Lorelai, I was taken off the streets too! I was a child slave to the fallen Halfmoon pack, but I am also the daughter of two Alphas. NEVER judge a book by its cover. Especially if you don’t want to end up like Chad’s first mate,” I gritted my teeth.
“WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?” a loud and powerful voice boomed. I stood straight up and faced Richard, still in my birthday suit as Milan always said when referring to nudity. Next to him were Beta Jackson, Chad, Brent, and another individual I didn’t know. “Alpha.” Everyone bowed to Richard and I could sense the anger rolling off of him in waves. He was a powerful Alpha, as powerful as Wyatt. Maybe even more. It’s no wonder he will become an Elder after everything was said and done. His Alpha aura demanded respect and attention, and he got both without question.
“Luna Rylee, what is going on?” Chad asked me as he held Lanie in his arms. I smirked when I saw this. She leaned into him out of pure instinct and I knew it right then and there-she accepted him. There was no going back for her. She accepted a challenge unintentionally and, even though I intervened, it was too late for this b***h Lorelai. Lanie would be her Luna.
“Alpha Richard, with all due respect, perhaps you should be more diligent in educating your pack members about respect. I may not be this pack’s Luna, but I am still in fact, a Luna. The Luna to an ally pack at that. Furthermore, challenging a female for her mate is forbidden, let alone assaulting them unprovoked!”
“ASSAULT!?” Chad growled. I looked towards him, Lanie still in his arms and his eyes black as night. Chad may not be ranked, yet, but he definitely had power. Richard chose a suitable successor. Perhaps there was more to Chad than meets the eye. “She said that she wanted to take you as her mate! She did! She’s not even part of this pack. Rumor has it she’s a street wolf. You’re… You, Chad. Everyone knows what you’ve been through already. You don’t need that kind of heartache again. Especially over another member of Blue Lake!” Lorelai exclaimed. I turned and snarled at her.
“Are you insinuating that all females in my pack are like Terrine!?” I growled.
“I don’t have to insinuate, they are! Look at you!” she retaliated, making everyone gasp. “You abandoned your own pack, did you not?” Goddess, how long will people hold that against me? Rumors always glossed over the details, it’s not like they were in a position or were even there to see how s**t actually happened. “Alpha, I have every right to protect a member of this pack, especially someone like Chad. He’s respected here, and everyone adores him. To be claimed by a Blue Lake she-wolf is blasphemous and unacceptable!”
“And what authority do you have to say such things, Lorelai!?” Richard growled at her. “Who are you to Chad? Who are you to me? You’re low-level Omega! You hold no rank. You hold no leadership position. You’re nothing but a body to fill a number.” My eyes bulged at his harsh words. Even Wyatt and I never spoke to a member that cruelly before. “I’m tired of your overbearing infatuation with Chad. He is not taking a chosen mate in Lanie. Lanie is his second-chance given by the moon goddess herself! You have no right to challenge her! She is a guest of this pack, and you have blatantly brought shame upon us!” Lorelai lowered her head.
“You’re lucky that it was the Luna who intervened and not me.” I turned my gaze to Chad whose eyes were still black with fury over the assault on Lanie. “Stay the f**k away from me Lorelai. If you even think about touching Lanie again, I won’t hesitate to have you executed.” Pack members of Golden Moon collectively gasped at his threat. From what I knew about Chad, he wasn’t a violent person unless absolutely necessary, but I guess someone threatening your mate would do that to you. I watched as he led her away, growling at any males that stared at her naked form.
“Lexie, come on,” Brent went to her and led her away as well. That’s when pack members started to mumble, seeing his affection towards Lexie. It didn’t take a genius to know who she was to him, and even a blind person could tell that there were some females envious of Lexie now as well. The jealousy that raged in females over losing a male to their mate was ridiculous and quite immature, honestly. Mates were created for a f*****g reason. Why the hell didn’t people get that?
“Lorelai, are you okay?” I heard someone ask. I turned to see people helping her.
“Where the hell do you think you’re going?” I sneered. They stopped what they were doing and stared at me in shock. “Did I say you could leave?”
“With all due respect, you’re not our Luna,” said one of the girls who came to help, but she gulped immediately after.
“Do I look like I care?” I responded. “You want to know why I left my pack, Lorelai?” I said while getting in her face and grabbing her chin. “It was because of a b***h like you who thought they could use dark magic to drive a wedge between the mate bond with my Alpha. Guess what happened to her? She’s dead. I ripped her apart before snapping her neck.” All of Golden Moon froze in their places, fixated on my conversation with Lorelai. I rose up to address the room, indifferent to the fact that I was still fully naked from my shift. “If anyone in this pack even dares to try to come between the mate bond of Chad and Lanie, as well as Brent and Lexie, you will answer directly to me. Everyone just witnessed what I can do but know this-I am capable of so much more. If you don’t wish to feel my Luna wrath, you. will. back. the. f**k. OFF!!” I roared in my Luna tone, shaking the entire foyer and sending chills through everyone’s spines.
“ANSWER THE LUNA!” Richard boomed in his Alpha tone.
“YES LUNA!” everyone shouted in unison and then dispersed like cockroaches hit by light.
“Luna, a word please,” Richard said. I nodded my head as an Omega of Golden Moon finally handed me a blanket to cover up. That only took forever. I followed Richard to his office along with Beta Jackson and the unknown person. When we got there, Chad was doing his best to comfort Lanie. She was afraid because she was able to shift in anger despite the fact she had never shifted before. Atlanta was a beautiful, snow-white wolf. Her fur complemented the bright blues eyes the girls shared. I wondered what color Lexie’s wolf, Brooklyn, was.
“Are you okay?” I heard Chad ask Lanie as he rubbed her shoulders. She was also covered in a blanket, and Lexie was trying to be comforting as well.
“I… I… don’t think I’ve ever been so angry before. I never … I never thought I could ever get that… What’s the word?”
“Pissed off?” I answered for her. Their heads jolted up in our direction.
“Yo, you guys have some major explaining to do,” the unknown male said.
“Who are you?” I asked him. He looked at me and bowed his head.
“Luna, my name is Maverick, I’m …” he paused a minute and looked to Chad and Brent.
“He’s my Gamma, Luna,” Chad said.
“Oh. Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Maverick,” I said, putting my hand out. He didn’t shake it but bowed his head again.
“Luna, if you will.” I looked over and saw that Richard was already seated, kindly gesturing to the chair opposite of him. I took my seat and looked him in the eyes as a sign of respect. “Rylee, I don’t take kindly to you threatening my pack members that way,” he asserted. I was about to say something when he continued. “But, I understand and will allow it in this circumstance. Lorelai has been a loose cannon ever since Chad brought Killian home. Killian was a shock to the pack since Chad never disclosed the fact he had a mate. That’s why it was so difficult to find him when Wyatt had reached out about finding Killian’s biological father.”
“Who is she? Why is so obsessed with Chad?” Lexie asked from her seat.
“Lexie, don’t interrupt,” Brent said to her sternly.
