The Luna Trials by Marissa Gilbert

Luckily, Petra was used to this because she grew up as Alpha’s daughter. None of this was new to her.

She was aware that she had work to do as well. It was important to establish herself as the Luna, make new friends, and find out as much as possible about other pack members. Not to mention, a lot of preparations were still to be made.

Originally, Evelynn was supposed to be with her during all this, but her life-long mentor, who had been like a mother to her, found love and was now the chosen mate of the Gamma of the North. Petra was happy for her despite missing her terribly. Regardless of her emotions, Lyn trained her well, and she was ready for anything.

Petra was finishing her make-up, dressed in a hot pink chiffon jumpsuit with long flared trousers and a top with elegant ruffles, when an Omega walked in to ask if she was going to have breakfast in this room.

It was tempting, but Petra knew something like that would be considered a weakness. She was ready for this and didn’t need Ash at her side at all times. She tried a more sophisticated look today but did not want to lie and change herself for it, so her favourite colours still prevailed.

The Omega with short red hair was leading her to the dining room when they heard the sounds of a group of women laughing.

“What is this?” Petra asked, pointing at a massive wooden door from where the sounds came. The servant girl next to her lowered her head in submission.

“It’s technically the Luna Office,” she mumbled and stopped talking, which gave Petra an idea of what could be happening there now. Did Harper encroach on that too?

“By the way, did my things arrive?” She asked, and the girl nodded, not offering her more information.

Petra inhaled and exhaled sharply. The pack wasn’t giving her the welcome she’d hoped for, and now she had to turn it around alone.

“Hailey, right?” She started by surprising the Omega by remembering her name. Lunas only bothered with that if they were their personal omegas.

“Yes, Luna,” the girl smiled timidly.

“Did Harper take my office as well? Who is with her there now?”

Hailey turned pale but Petra didn’t budge. This wasn’t some game like the Luna Trials where she didn’t care about winning after noticing Kai’s infatuation with Savvy. This was her life now, and her future depended on everything she was about to do.

“We didn’t have a Luna, so Miss Harper took over some of the responsibilities. And it made sense for her to take over the office, too–”

“I see,” Petra sighed and then remembered something. “So, where are my things now?”

Once again, Kailey offered her a sheepish look.
