#Chapter 88: Luna Turned Spy
Abby
I stand by the long table, the air thick with the scent of gourmet h o rs d’oeuvres and sparkling wine. Idly,
I pick up a tiny pastry, turning it this way and that before setting it back on the plate.
As if to steel my nerves and try not to think about what Karl is saying to Gianna in the other room, I’m
arranging the treats into some semblance of symmetry when a familiar voice that I haven’t heard in
years suddenly pulls me away from my thoughts.
“Abby, darling! It’s so good to see you again!”
I turn to find Rebecca, the wife of one of the Betas, her face glowing with genuine delight. I flash a
smile, the corners of my lips straining just a bit.
“Sarah, it’s been too long! How have you been?”
She glides over, her high heels clicking against the polished floor. “Oh, you know, busy with pack life,
community events, all that jazz. But never mind me; look at you! You’re stunning as ever!”
I chuckle, trying to deflect the attention. “Thank you. You look absolutely fabulous tonight.”
We share a few pleasantries, talking about fashion and the unusually mild weather we’ve been
experiencing. But the conversation takes a turn when Sarah skillfully steers it into more personal
waters.
“So, Abby,” she says, her eyes t winkling, “I couldn’t help but notice how cozy you and Karl have been
tonight. Is there a chance for reconciliation? The pack could really use a union like that, you know.”
My cheeks flush. “Sarah, I’m flattered, but no. We’re friends, and I prefer it that way. So yes, I suppose
we’ve reconciled in that regard, but not in a romantic sense.”
Sarah looks a bit disappointed, but understanding at the same time. “Ah, I see. Well, either way, I’m
glad he made that announcement tonight. I’ll admit, I was a bit worried when I saw you—thinking that
our Alpha was getting back with a cheater and all that—but to find out that it was all just a mistake…”
Caught off guard, I hesitate before answering. “Yes, it was a mistake. I hope that the word gets out.”
