Everyone around us was clapping their hands and hooting, but the sight made my stomach churn.
‘Riley? Did you kill him?’I asked, scared of what the outcome would be.
‘Relax. I didn’t. It’s a hard blow, but he could take it.’
I saw Riley approach the warrior and crouch to his side. He was fully covering him from my sight, so I had no idea what was going on.
“Luna…” Someone called my attention from behind me, and I tilted my head and found three young females, probably around fourteen or fifteen, smiling at me.
“Hi…” I greeted them, a broad smile playing on my lips.
“We saw the Alpha wink at you earlier.” They were giggling with giddiness, which I found adorable.
“He did?” I feigned surprise. “I thought something was just caught in the Alpha’s eyes.”
They giggled, and one of them shook her head. “I think the Alpha likes you a lot. My mom said he had never talked to females before.”
“Of course, the Alpha loves her. She wouldn’t be our Luna if he didn’t.” One of them added.
“But she’s not our Luna yet. Maybe she will leave too.” I heard the smallest girl whisper, but I could hear it clearly, and my heart clenched.
These girls were aware of Andrea and that she had left him. I didn’t know what to feel at the moment, whether I should feel bad about myself or for my mate.
“She won’t.” The tallest of them said before she turned her gaze back at me, a warm smile on her lips. “You will be the Luna of this pack, right, Luna Nadia?”
“Yes. I will be your Luna, and that will be soon.” I winked at her.
I made up my mind. I would talk with Riley tonight. Perhaps I was still not a Luna material at this point, but I would learn and do my best.
Riley deserved a Luna, and so did his people. And they would get one, the rightful Luna of this pack.
RILEY.
I went over the documents in my hand, but I couldn’t concentrate.
Gamma Sebastian sent me a mindlink minutes ago stating that a manila envelope was left at the border, addressed to me, but it has Nadia’s name on it as the subject. He had already sniffed and believed nothing dangerous was inside.
He asked if he should go and check inside, but I didn’t allow him. Whatever was in there might be confidential, and I didn’t want to risk anything being seen by anyone, especially if it had something to do with Nadia.
I was finding it hard to do my work while I waited for my Gamma to arrive. I wanted the envelope in my hand, and I wanted to see what was inside before telling Nadia.
‘Where are you? Are you still with Katya?’I asked her through our mind link.
She told me after lunch that she would visit Beta Dominic’s mom so she could learn more about the pack duties of a Luna.
‘Yes. Do you need me there?’
‘I need you every time.’
‘Stop flirting with me. I’m asking a serious question.’She giggled.‘Do you want me home?’
‘You can stay there. I just want to know where you are.’
‘Okay. Are you sure there’s no Andrea in your office? That if I just suddenly appear there, I won’t be surprised?’
‘No. Nothing. I learned my lessons the hard way. No more secrets.’
‘Good. You’re learning fast, Alpha.’
