The Perfect Luna novel Chapter 64

“As you know, we live in a world where only the strongest and the fittest survive,” Brayden started his speech, “This is why it is so important for us to continue our bloodlines and create heirs. So that when we get weaker, they can step up and take our place! For us wolves this is

crucial. Otherwise, our pack will be done!”

Riannon stood and listened to his speech next to her former self, remembering almost every word. One could never forget when they were humiliated like that. But looking at her old self now, she was proud of her for not breaking down in front of everyone. By that time, she didn’t have anyone close for support.

“My legal wife Riannon and I have tried to have pups for some time now,” he continued his grand speech. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)It was a lie. They didn’t try to have children and actually planned to have them later. But he was now using their absence to justify what he was doing. And it was working because he was receiving sympathetic glances from the crowd. “But we were unsuccessful,” he even let out a heavy sigh. She wanted to slap him. Ria also realised that if she was made of flesh right now, she would have said something, would have fought for her honour and defended herself against all odds. She changed a lot even though not much time

passed.

But she was just a bodiless spirit now and couldn’t change anything in what was happening. She was here to learn.

“You also know that the Moon Goddess blessed me and helped me to find my true mate,

Roxanne! I didn’t understand the will of the Goddess from the beginning. But Selene is wise and she knows what she is doing. So, my beautiful mate with the kindest heart in the world became pregnant with my pup and ensured our pack’s future! And after very careful consideration, I realised my mistakes. I was worried that Roxy here was just an omega, but she taught me a valuable lesson and proved the importance of mates.”

She remembered how every word of his was punctuated with the beating of her heart in her ears and she touched the hand of the past her as she stood there. Even knowing that it wouldn’t help.

“This is why I had to take a very hard and drastic, but very important decision for the sake of our pack. Today I received approval of my divorce and our ways with my wife Riannon Tho… Michaels part. Riannon Michaels, I reject you as my chosen mate. And with a heavy heart, I denounce you as the Luna of this pack, but as my dear friend, you are always welcome to stay here as a regular member of the pack and I promise to take care of you as I do of

“No thanks,” the present Ria snorted to herself.

People around them were whispering and gasping, but a lot of them were nodding in approval. Ria tried to remember the faces this time. Anything could be crucial.

“Moving on from the sad news,” Brayden raised his voice, “Let me introduce the new

Luna of the Silver River pack! Roxanne Belgrave!

He stretched her head and Roxanne walked out in a golden maternity dress. Just as

tacky as she remembered.

“She will become Roxanne Thorn in the nearest future,” Bray went on, looking at the fox with gleaming eyes, “But she starts her Luna duties today. Roxanne, do you swear to serve as Luna of this pack and always have the best interest of our people in your heart?”

“I do, Alpha,” the vixen said proudly.

Lies.

“Do you promise to devote your life to the pack’s safety?”

“I do.” More lies. “Do you swear that you will work hard every day for the pack’s prosperity?” “I do, Alpha.” Lies again.

“Roxanne Belgrave, by the will of the Moon Goddess Selene,(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) I announce you the new Luna of the Silver River pack!” Brayden growled and wolves around them started howling in celebration. This was the moment when the past her wanted to leave, but then she heard something else.

“And I want to seal this joyful day with a promise of my eternal love for my beautiful mate, Luna and future wife!” Brayden announced, walking behind Roxy. He carefully took all of her hair to one side and placed a soft kiss on her exposed neck. She moaned lightly and Riannon

remembered how it made her stomach turn.

The Alpha extended his canines and grazed them over the girl’s skin. She let out another moan and that seemed to do the trick as he sunk his teeth into her flesh, marking her for life.

And this was where the past Riannon finally run away, pushing through people who did not care about her anymore. It was funny how fast they were changing their sides and switching their loyalties. Ria noticed from the corner of her eye, Alice offering her old self a drink. Something with alcohol this time, which the former Luna drank in one gulp and walked away. The omega who served her looked guilty but in just a few seconds she was approached

Ria got closer to the two of them, observing them carefully.

“I’ve been watching you for a while now, Alice,” Marcus smiled charmingly at the young maid, whose cheeks flush at his words. She was clearly inexperienced, and he was a player. And an elite warrior at that. Dating someone like him was probably beyond her dreams.

“You know my name?” she raised her eyes at him and for a second there Riannon felt sorry for the girl, who was falling into the big bad wolf’s trap. But then she noticed the glass that probably still contained the traces of aconite with which the omega poisoned her. It made the pity fade away as she watched the man taking the girl away from the party that started.

She followed them into the woods where they started making out passionately. Marcus roughly turned the girl to face the huge oak tree and lifted the skirt of her summer dress up. He didn’t even bother taking her underwear, just moved it slightly to get access. He took her not in the nicest of manners but she seemed to enjoy it. Even when he laced his fingers around her neck while pumping into her from behind. Riannon turned away as this was the last thing she wanted to see. But very soon she heard him grunt which probably meant that he was done. Alice moaned. Not very believable. After all, the whole thing lasted just a minute or two. But then Riannon heard a sound of a snap and turned back to see the girl already lying on the

ground with her head in an unnatural angle as he tucked his member back into his jeans.

He lifted the girl’s feet and started dragging her away while no emotions were evident on his face. This was the moment when she promised herself to kill him as soon as she was back.

People like that didn’t deserve a second chance.

But she did not follow him as he dragged Alice’s body. She knew that she had to be in a different place to learn what she really came here to learn.

She came back to the party and found Roxy celebrating as the new queen B of the pack. She had a lot of people around her but soon she started sighing a lot and complaining about

how tired she was.

“It’s hard to carry an Alpha baby,” she giggled, “He is so strong and healthy. He kicks me every day and so hard. It’s exhausting.”

“You need rest, my dear,” Harper gave her a hug and caressed her stomach, “The future of our pack is literally inside you. Maybe it’s enough celebrations for tonight? I think it’s time to take your vitamins.”

“You are right,” Roxy nodded to the disappointment of the others around them, (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)“I’d better listen to my sister-in-law. You are the best, Harp.”

Until you.”

That was a jab at her, but Riannon didn’t care anymore.

She followed them as they went back into the house and all the way back to Brayden’s bedroom, which Roxy was sharing with him tonight. Harper helped her to sit in a comfortable

chair, which was new. Just a week prior, Roxanne ordered a complete makeover of their house

and threw away everything that Ria ever touched. Or loved.

“Thank you,” the fox accepted the pills and the glass of water handed to her, “You are so sweet. Did you manage to talk to Ash already?”

“I am sorry,” Roxanne put her glass of water onto the coffee table, “People saw him buying a ring and bragging to his friends about it. She will have his mark on her neck tomorrow. And I just… I don’t want you to suffer. You know I would do anything for you. You are really like a real sister to me!”

“And I think he likes you… a lot,” Roxy placed her palm on top of hers, “When I see you two together, you look like a perfect couple. But Riannon… She has her way with men. Sometimes I think that she is a witch or something. There couldn’t be any other explanation.”

“I can’t do anything about her,” her ex-sister-in-law muttered, “She is way stronger than

me.”
