I Am The Luna

ZAIA.

I look at the eight men who now crowd my office at the pack house; I don’t know what to say. Five of them are meant to be some of our most trusted, for them to simply allow Annette in like that…

The door shuts after the last one and I place my chin on top of my clasped hands, my elbows resting on the desk. “I don’t know where I should start,” I say quietly.

I’m a little restless as I haven’t been able to contact Dad either. I hope he has been able to take a little time alone to clear his head, but I do need to speak to him. 2

I just hope he got my voicemail since he wasn’t opening any of his messages. “I do apologise, ma’am, for everything. I never should have let the Luna onto the property but…” one of the men trails off.

“But what?” I ask the guard, tilting my head. “I am truly disappointed in the lack of security. This woman was shouting at my mother, and you all stood by.”

“She said there would be consequences if we didn’t let her pass.” Another said, and I sigh in exasperation.

“Consequences? So, if someone is going to blackmail or threaten you, will you simply step aside and allow them to do whatever they wish?” I ask in disbelief. “This is absolutely ridiculous! Why apply to be a guard, then?”

I turn my attention to Annette’s three guards. “You may work for the Luna, but if there is ever an issue where your family is threatened you know you can come to me. Furthermore, please write up a report of Luna threatening your family. This is something that I can assure you my father will not tolerate. Please do so now, outside. Whilst I talk to my own security team.”

I motion with my head for them to leave the room, when the door shuts behind them, I stand up, looking at the five men before me as I begin to pace behind my desk slowly, the sound of my heels loud in the silent room.

“My father hand-selected all of you because he trusted you.” I begin.

Four of them were those replaced after the shooting, and I understand they may not be as seasoned. However, this is a dire situation.

“You are all aware of the threats that we face. No one is a friend, and the enemy can be anyone among us and the pack. No one is to be let onto the premises of that property without my or my father’s permission. That is an absolute rule!”

My anger is rising, but my children are there! Sia can’t handle stressful situations, she needs as much calm as possible. Anything could have gone wrong.

I know I need to tell my men about the Blood Born. We need to be ready for everything and if they aren’t alerted to the actual threats, then what?
