The Luna Trials by Marissa Gilbert

Chapter 38

Cleghtern

It seemed like people forgot how to breathe. Everyone started to look around, searching for the one to whom the claim belonged.

“Mate…” This time Aspen’s words sounded like thunder on a clear day. Savannah was shocked because he was looking in her direction. She knew, however, that it couldn’t be her. She already had a mate and had met Aspen before. So, she looked at her right and left until she noticed how pale Brigit

was.

“Mate,” Aspen stepped forward, ignoring his startled king and everyone else in the room. His voice was barely a whisper now, and Savvy noticed how Brigit’s lips trembled. “Mine…”

The white bear shifter did not say a word, but her eyes glistened with unspilt tears.

The red-haired northerner smiled as he approached her, not knowing what to do since she did not

move or say a word.

“What is your name?” Brigit asked, and Savannah got an uneasy feeling rising in the pit of her stomach hearing her tone. Something was off.

“Aspen,” the Lycan smiled. “Aspen Morr.”

“Are you out of your mind?” Celia, who finally got over her shock, hissed at her brother. “We are being

filmed, and she is a contender at the Luna Trials!”

But her sibling did not seem to care. Elene wanted to intervene, but Kai motioned for her to stop.

“Aspen Morr,” Brigit smiled, but that was a sad smile. “I Brigit Borg, the daughter of the Alpha of the White Claw pack, reject you as my….”

“No!” Aspen growled loudly, and everyone around them gasped. “4, Brigit Borg, the daughter of …” She started again, and this time Aspen growled even louder. “No, Brigit! I decline your rejection!” He clenched his fists and was breathing heavily now, desperation

and frustration evident on his face.

“Brigit, are you sure?” Savvy whispered to her. “Don’t make rush decisions. You have just met each other and ….”

“,”the white bear shifter started again. She had teary eyes, yet not a single drop spilt yet. For some reason, she was full of determination. “Brigit Borg…”

“No!” Aspen Interrupted her again. “I am not …” His voice broke, and one could tell by just looking at him that he was in pain. “Just… just give me a chance before rejecting me …”

“I came here to represent white bears and participate in The Luna Trials!” Brigit looked him in the eye and pursed her lips. “I will not throw everything away for a mate I just met. I came here to win!”

Aspen’s eyes glowed red. Now he was furtous. He now had his loyalties torn between his mate and his

king, his Alpha. It was the worst situation to be in.

Sawy knew it wasn’t her time to speak, but her heart clenched for the two.

“You do know you may not win this,” she whispered to Brigit and saw Chloe rushing the cameras to get closer. Even now, she didn’t want to miss a good shot. “Leave this decision for after the Trials.”

“She can’t,” Penelope sighed sadly and looked up at them as though she cared. “If she has a mate, she should already be disqualified … Unless Aspen accepts her rejection, of course.”

Brigit pressed her lips so tightly together that they formed a thin white line. For some reason, the Trials were more important to her than anything else.
