Chapter 134

Skylar

“You did WHAT?!” Daisy looks like she is about to beat us both. We just told her that Lucas murdered Aron, who most likely came to the mansion to discuss peace.

“I fried him,” Lucas tells his mom with a frown. We are standing in the Alpha office, but Xavier is the one sitting in the chair with Daisy in his lap.

He ki*ses the shoulder of his mate. “Calm down. You know what Aron did to Skylar, don’t you?”

“No, I don’t!” Daisy growls. “I’m not a mind–reader like you lot and I’m tired of being out in the dark. And yes, I realize Aron was an asshole, but killing him will just make Alpha Max even madder.”

“We can handle him,” Lucas says. “Aron needed to die because that bastard was a pedophile, mom. He…he sexually abused the little girls at the pack’s orphanage.”

Daisy’s eyes widen before she studies me in silence. When I shoot her a hesitant smile, anger ticks against her jaw. “I should have murdered that bastard myself!”

Xavier holds his mate steady by hugging her to him. “Schh, my love, he is gone. There’s no need to get so upset.”

“HE TOUCHED MY FUTURE DAUGHTER–IN-LAW!”

“I know, I know,” Xavier says, trying to calm Daisy down by stroking his demon tail over her leg in soothing patterns. It seems to work as she slumps against his chest.

“Why are there so many creeps, Xavier?” Daisy asks her husband while rubbing her c*eek against his broad chest.

He chuckles. “I don’t know, but our son did a great job avenging his mate,” his odd–colored eyes meet mine. “Are you ready to become Luna yet? I know we are in the middle of a war, but I feel like the pack could use some good news, and a spontaneous Luna ceremony and some good food might raise people’s fighting spirit.”
