The Luna’s Choice by Kat Silver

Chapter 59: Theo

I wasn’t even going to consider this conversation. It was pure nonsense. But whoever was coming after us, they were getting closer. And smarter. I needed Hawkins to talk.

“If this is so concerning to you, why not come to me or my father? Why skulk around behind our back?” I asked.

“You wouldn’t have listened,” he said. “She’s marked you, Alpha. You won’t listen to reason now.”

“And what reason is that?” I ground out, trying hard to maintain control. “What was her father trying to accomplish by making her my Luna?”

Hawkins shook his head. “They want to take control. She wants to get rid of all the Alphas. To become queen.”

I ran a hand over my face, pinching the bridge of my nose. “Do you know how ridiculous you sound?” I said.

“I said you wouldn’t listen,” Hawkins replied.

“If this was true, why me?” I asked. “Why the Greytooth Pack? We’re far from the most powerful pack. We may have one of the biggest territories but there are several other packs that outnumber us. Not to mention resources. So, why me?”

Hawkins made a face. “That… I’m not sure about,” he admitted. “However, your family is one of the most respected. Your line of Alphas is long and well–established. You have more allies than most of the other packs. That would give her access to a lot of trust.”

“Okay, Hawkins,” I said. “Let’s say you weren’t blatantly committing treason against your Alpha. For now, let’s say I believe you.” Briggs gave me a burning look, but I ignored it. “Who has given you all of this information? Who are you working with?”

Hawkins grimaced. “I can’t tell you, sir.”
