I shut the door, and Rowan got up from the bed, walking to the closet, and I had to stifle a groan. Nix snorted.Our mate is perfect, but you have more important things to do instead of staring at his ass.
Megan chuffed.I can’t blame her. I stare at Erubus too.
I snorted as I followed him into the closet. He was buckling his belt as I stepped in. “What’s so funny?”
“Nothing.” I answered too quickly, and I felt the blood rush to my face.
“You were looking at my butt, weren’t you?” His voice was laced with amusement.
“I was not.” I grabbed some clothes and got dressed.
“Liar.” He shot back as he pulled on his shirt.
“Bold of you to assume I’m lying.” I shot back as I pulled my shirt on.
He laughed as he walked out. “Bold of you to assume your wolves didn’t already rat you out.” Then I heard the door open and shut.
Son of a bitch.Traitors, both of you.I glared at my wolves, and they just laughed.
Chapter Forty-Four
We walked to the door that led down to the cells, and Trina was waiting for us with a bowl of everything I needed. “Thank you for gathering everything, Trina.” I grabbed the bowl from her, and she bowed.
“It’s no trouble, Luna Amy.” I felt my head snap back, and then I turned my eyes to Rowan, who smirked.
I closed my eyes, and I was strapped on that cold table again. My baby was being cut out of me while I screamed. ‘I’m the Luna.’The pain took my breath away, and I felt the urge to vomit. Brandon’s amused face swarmed behind my eyes.
“You seem surprised, Love.” He pulled me to his side. “But you are no longer an unmated Alpha, and now we don’t have to hide anything anymore.” He kissed me. “You will forever be called Luna Amy. That or my Queen.”
“You told her to call me Luna?” My voice was a little breathless. The bile rushed up my throat, and I felt like I was choking on it.
He pulled back and looked a little hurt. “Do you not want to be my Luna?”
I grabbed his face. “Of course.” I needed to explain it to him, but I was still smelling the burn of silver on my flesh, and I gagged.
He recoiled from me, from my reaction, and I knew I had hurt him. “Then what’s wrong?” He stared at me, and I felt like he could see inside my soul, like I was bare, and he did not like what he saw there.
“Nothing.” I winced at how panicked my voice sounded.
My dad and mom came around the corner. My father had gone to grab her as we headed down. My mom rushed over when she saw my face. “What’s wrong?” My father walked a little slower, but I felt everyone’s eyes on me.
“Nothing.” I tried to sound convincing, and I failed because Rowan pulled away again, and I saw shutters coming down, like he was distancing himself from me.
He is…he thinks you don’t want to be his Luna.Nix growled.Fix it.
Megan rubbed down Nix’s agitated side.You know why she is panicking. Calm down.Then she turned to me.Explain yourself instead of hurting our mate.
“Tell me what happened.” My mom’s voice sounded confused.
Trina bowed. “I called Alpha Amy, Luna, and she had…a strong reaction.” Trina bowed. “I’m sorry, I was just following the King’s directions.” Then she excused herself.
Rowan snorted. “I hadn’t realized how much Amy here hated being my Luna.” He turned away. “I’m going to go for a walk.”
Panic crawled up my back. “Wait!” I grabbed for him but he slid his hand out of my own. “Please. Let me explain.”
He stopped, but didn’t turn around. “What is there to explain? Someone called you Luna, and you turned green.” His voice was laced with pain, and that hurt my heart. This all spiralled so quickly.
“Bug?” My father’s voice snapped me out of it. “Talk to us.”
