Free Web NovelChapter 11: Chapter 11 I am the Luna
Abigail’s POV
After the packmenbers capture Maria, they lead her to our dungeon cells. She kicks and scream curse words all the way, but to no avail. Her father tries to negotiate for her to be put in her own room under house arrest, but Matthew is not backing down. She challenged his luna, lost and is going to suffer the consequences of her actions. Possibly for the first time in her life.
The young Alpha, Leo, and his mate Luna Jamie, follow us back to the pack house. I try to talk to the former Luna, but she keeps throwing glances at her seething mate, and only gives me shrugs, nods or head shakes. I am also interrupted several times by the children giving me flowers, which I don’t mind at all. freёwebnoѵel.com
She doesn’t say a word and I feel she is not treated well either. I wonder what kind of pack the former Alpha has given to his son, and how said son is running things. It’s something I will have to speak to Matt about later.
I am interrupted in my thoughts when Matt tucks on my hand. We have arrived.
We enter the pack house, and my mouth hits the floor. Matt chuckles at my perplexed look.
I thought the pack house back at Black Moon was grand, but this is even bigger and more luxurious.
The house is three stories high, having the Alpha family at the top. The Beta and Gamma shared the second floor families, having one side of the floor each and they divided the first floor between a conference room, a game room, a spa room, and several rooms for visiting Alphas, betas and gammas.
On the main floor, there is a huge, airy kitchen that could easily hold a hundred people. A living room with a splendid fireplace, a TV over the fireplace and three large couches around two big coffee tables. They hold everything in the pack colors; silver, grey and gold. It’s beautiful.
The basement holds several rooms for pack members, including common bathrooms with showers and a cinema room; complete with snacks and popcorn machines.
I. Was. In. Love!
"This house is. AWESOME." I gush. freёweɓnovel.com
The group laugh at my antics, but Laurel is just as bad as me. She had not left my side since she shifted back and was claimed by Kaiden. Which resulted in me, Matt, Laurel and Kaiden walking together, as the two males would not leave our side either.
"I have to agree. This house is amazing, and there is so much room for everyone." She says with a smile.
This, however, earns her a scowl from her father, to which I growl. I lock eyes with her mother, who tries to give me an apologetic smile, but she remains silent. No one acts towards one of my pack members, okay future pack members - you get my point, that way a get away with it. Both former and current Alpha look at me in shock, but I couldn’t care less. Matthew gives me a wide smile.
"In here, everyone. This room is, like all rooms here, soundproof." He gives me a flirtatious smile before saying soundproof.
"So we can speak in private. Kaiden and Brandon, I request your presence as well. This is also regarding your mate, Kaiden. Brandon, you need to be here as my gamma, because I keep nothing from my ranking members." I watched as Leo and his son. They were mind-linking.
"Alpha Matthew, I would like for my beta to join as well." The young man said.
Out of the side of my eye, I see Laurel trembling with this news, and Kaiden put his arms around her. This elicits low growls from the men in her family.
"If I may." I ask.
"First; what is your name Alpha? And second, your beta may attent given he stays away from Laurel at all times." I state confidently. I was not having someone come in here and frighten the poor girl.
"With all due respect, Luna. My name is Jason, and my beta is currently pursuing to make Laurel his mate. He may be near her." He states, looking unsurely at his father. I open my mouth, but close it again. I can feel Galaxy fuming in anger.
"With all due respect, Alpha Jason. She has found her fated mate, and it seems she has accepted him. This makes her our pack’s beta female, and I will have no one come near her or mistreat her on our pack lands, let alone in our pack house. He is to stay away from Laurel unless he wants my wrath upon him." I answer, my voice ice cold. Jason and his dad look baffled. They are clearly not used to women talking back at them.
Leo laughs, and Matt sighs.
"Who, does a little girl like yourself think she is to command me or my son about OUR pack member and family? We get to decide who her mate is, and that will be the beta of our pack, as agreed." Both Galaxy and I have already had enough of this old man.
I try to look at the Luna, but she keeps avoiding my eyes. She doesn’t seem to want to go up against her mate. She reminds me of the Luna of my old pack, who always did what the Alpha said and questioned nothing.
Before I can answer, there is a knock on the door. Matt gets up to open it. In come a sleezy looking young man. He has dirty blond hair, and eyes that promised nothing good.
I raise an eyebrow at him, but he ignores my presence and bows slightly at Matt. Then his eyes scanned the room, and a loud growl rips through his throat.
On Kaiden’s lap sits Laurel, and when the new man growls, she hides in Kaiden’s chest, and starts trembling even harder. This man has mistreated her. It was clear as day.
"Would you care to introduce yourself?" I asked in an annoyed tone. His eyes sets on my face and his mouth turned down in a frown.
"Why are there women present here? Isn’t this a meeting of importance? Or just a silly..." My fierce snarl shuts him up, and I keep a hand on Matthew’s thigh to keep him calm.
"Unless you want my mate here to beat you into submission, beta Carl, I would suggest you shut the hole in your face and start showing some respect." Matt says in a bored tone without even looking at him.
Carl sneers my way.
"Luna." His voice was barely audible.
He sits down in the chair next to Laurel and Kaiden and is about to grab Laurel out of Kaiden’s arms when I had enough.
I stand abruptly, walk to where Carl sits, and drag his chair away from Laurel and Kaiden, which clearly surprises everyone in the room.
"I will not repeat myself - Leo and Alpha Jason. Keep. Him. Away. From. Laurel! Or I will." Carl looks absolutely disgusted.
"Are you threatening the former and current Alpha of the White Moon pack, stupid girl?" He asks in arrogance.
I scoffed. "No, I am making a statement. Laurel has found her mate, and you will keep your hands to yourself." I answer, staring him directly into his eyes and totally ignoring his lame attempt to insult me.
’Matt, we need to invite Laurel to the pack ASAP. She is not safe with these people. I don’t trust them. Galaxy keeps snarling in my head. I am sensing the young Alpha Jason is okay, but is being bullied to lead a certain way by his father.’ Matt nods and turns to Kaiden and Laurel.
"Laurel Danners of White Moon, daughter of the former Alpha Leo Danners, I Alpha Matthew Blue, along with my Luna, invite you to join Silver Mist." Matt says in a kind voice.
Her body shakes again, and I look at Leo. He is mind-linking her, clearly threating his own daughter.
I rolled my eyes and put a barrier between father and daughter so he can’t do it anymore. As his eyes clear, they become wide in disbelief.
"What is this? Why can’t I talk with my daughter anymore?" He yells.
"Because I put a barrier between her and you, as you were clearly threatening her." I answer without missing a beat. I’m so tired of him and his poisonous ways already. Laurel looks to her brother, whose eyes soften.
"Sis, do what you deem best. Luna Abigail is right. We have been treating you wrong and you are your own person who deserves to find love and happiness." Laurel gives him a small smile, before she turns to Matthew and I.
"I, Laurel Danners, daughter of the former Alpha Leo Danners of White Moon, accept your invite to join Silver Mist, be with my mate and become the beta female." I feel the pack link open and can’t help but smile.
’Welcome to our family, Laurel.’ Matt says in a joined link.
Her eyes show so many emotions, but most of all she seems relieved to be away from White Moon.
Laurel turns her head. "I’m sorry, mom, but I don’t want to..." Her mother smiles.
"Don’t apologies sweetheart. I know, and I love you!" I hadn’t heard Luna Jamie say anything before, and it was clear why. Those men didn’t think of her as a person, but as a possession and a silent prize. I mentally shook my head in disapproval of the ancient views of that pack.
