The Luna Trials by Marissa Gilbert

The In-Laws

Kai rubbed his cheek and looked at Gideon with understanding

“I guess I deserve that,” he nodded and immediately received another blow on his chin Something in there cracked, and he had to give it to the Lycan King of the West. Not too many people in the world could break his bones. His warriors growled menacinely and tried to approach them, but the Northern King motioned for them to stop. There was no need to escalate things For Savannah, he was ready to take as many punches as he had to

“You despicable, obnoxious excuse of a king!” Gideon’s eyes shone gold. “How dare you take out our problems on my sister?!”

“I’m not! I swear!” Kai tried to explain, only to receive another punch in his face

“I didn’t know about the Luna Trials!”

Punch.

“Originally, I just didn’t want to marry her!”

Punch.

“it’s all changed now! Savvy and I are going to get married and ….”

Punch

“After the sh*t you pulled, you are going to marry my sister over my dead body! I’m taking her home this very moment, and you’re never seeing her ever again!”Gideon growled, panting. He was about to punch the Northern King again when Kai finally caught his fist and pushed it away.

He was ready to repent, but he would not give up the love of his life. This was a price he wasn’t ready

to pay

“We are in love!” He snarled menacingly, and his eyes flashed blue.

“The hell you are!” Gideon eritted his teeth and yanked his hand back. “What can you possibly know about love?! I knew I should have never let her come to the North in the first place! But do not worry – this is the last time she will set foot here!”

“Savvy is my Queen!” “In your dreams!” They were almost at each other’s throats when a feminine voice interrupted them, “That’s not for you

to decidel”

Both of their heads snapped in the direction of a huge black car with an open door.

Riannon, the Queen of the Western Lycan Kingdom, walked out of it, a regal aura surrounding her. Her blonde hair was up, with a few loose curls framing her face. She was wearing cream high-waisted suit pants and a cashmere sweater with a tan coat thrown on her shoulders

Kai wiped the blood dripping from his broken lip off of his face. Luckily, it was already healing.

“My greetings, Queen Riannon.” He bowed respectfully, remembering Savannah’s words. If anyone was going to help him, it was this woman.

“Greetings to the King of the North,” she replied with a polite smile “Please, just call me Kai” his lips curled slightly, and she nodded in understanding

“I am shocked you don’t ask us to call you the North Star,”Gideon snorted, and Kai had to count to ten in his mind. He forgot just how annoying his old rival could be.

“Gideon,” Riannon said reproachfully and closed the distance between them. She laced her fingers with her husband’s, calming him instantly as if it was nothing. Kai caught himself thinking that only Savannah could do that to him. She brought him peace whenever she was near.
