A sharp pain radiated in my heart and I touched it, begging my heart to hold still. I shouldn’t have asked her that way, maybe! should’ve made a grand gesture. Some flowers, candles, and a lovely dinner would’ve eased her into the request.

She was probably too shocked to even say yes but none of it mattered.

She didn’t want to mark me. She didn’t want to be the Luna. There was no needed fighting it.

I picked up my phone. It was a message from Azalea that pulled me out of my train of thought. Two days ago, I found out that, Mason was missing and I got a visit from the Vulture Rogue King, Ryker. The safety of the pack had been on my mind since then.

Azalea volunteered to go to my former pack since I couldn’t. Leaving the pack behind after getting such a threat would be a dangerous idea. It would leave the pack vulnerable.

//No survivors// was all Azalea’s message mentioned. I took a seat.

There was a limit to the problems I could solve. Mason being either dead or missing without a lead wasn’t something I could ever resolve. All I just wanted was for him to come back to me alive.

A knock resounded on my study’s door. For a second I thought it was Angela and I had hope but it soon occurred to me that Angela wouldn’t have to knock before entering.

“Come in,”

My new right hand, Stanley, walked into the room. He took over after Azalea left. He was a promising and brilliant warrior but I still couldn’t depend on him just like Azalea.

“Alpha, he’s ready for you,”

“I’ll be there in a minute,”

I dismissed him and turned my attention back to my phone as I prepared to give Azalea more instructions. I raised my head when I realized he wasn’t leaving.

“Do you need anything?”

“May I be permitted to talk freely Alpha?”

I wondered what that was all about. I wasn’t used to the formality from him since Azalea usually talked just as he wanted but protocols had to be followed.

“Go ahead,”

“Is it true that your father tried to sell the pack to Ryker?”

I took a deep breath. “Do I have to answer that?”
