The Luna’s Choice by Kat Silver

Chapter 80: Ayla

Three days.

It had been three days since we had started the trial and it finally felt like we were getting close to a decision. We didn’t think we would get a unanimous agreement on the executions, but we didn’t need it. The majority support would be uncontestable in this situation.

It wasn’t a large group. Out of the nine packs, only five currently had mates. Six, if you included Theo and I as acting Alpha and Luna.

“Thank you for coming,” I said as I handed Luna Victoria, Alpha Harden’s mate, a glass of wine. “It has been so nice to finally meet you. Alpha Harden has spoken so highly of you.”

“I can say the same about you, my dear,” Luna Victoria replied with a bright smile.
