Chapter 77: Three Lunas Sophie

Hunter asked me to facilitate the meeting between Dutton and Brooklyn. I understood why Dutton wanted to talk to her, he wanted the information first-hand so he could better argue against Owen, but Brooklyn

was terrified of being in a room alone with an unmated Alpha again. I can't blame her. Her body still isn't fully recovered from what Owen did to her.

When I first asked Brooklyn if she'd be willing to speak with him, she had started to hyperventilate, her eyes going wide. I'd had to take her face in my hands and help her to regain her composure.

"Is it really necessary Luna?" her mother, Leah, asked with

concern.

"No, it isn't. You can say no, Brooklyn. But Alpha Dutton wants to hear in your own words what happened, so he can help fight against the injustice of what happened to you. He has found his mates here in our pack. The Beta twins that came in around the same time you did.

"Did he..." she begins.

"He hasn't marked them yet. He's giving them time to get to know him and showing them that he can be the type of mate they want."

I told her this before I saw Dutton that morning. When I did, I

realized that I was incorrect. Alpha Dutton was proudly strutting around with not one, but two mate marks on his neck, one on each side.

I let him know that Brooklyn had agreed to meet with him, but her mother and I would be there and if at any point one of us decided it was too much for her, he would have to leave.

"Of course. I understand. My own mates needed a gentle touch, if you will, to get them to believe that I was a trustworthy man."

"Will they be joining us at the committee meeting?" I ask as we walk to Brooklyn's house.

"No. I gave them the option, but they're too afraid to be there, especially knowing that Alpha Aiden will be there as well."

"Are you planning to flaunt those marks while you're there?" I ask, smiling at him.

He looks at me with fierce determination in his eyes. "I have every intention of making sure that Alpha Aiden knows that those girls are mine and if he ever thinks of trying to take what is mine, I'll kill him." "Good for you, Alpha. Do you plan to return home before you go?"

"No. I'll talk to Hunter, but they are comfortable here and the committee meeting is in a couple of days. I'd rather not introduce them to a new pack, then leave them."

"You are all welcome to stay, you don't have to ask Hunter," I tell him. He stops and looks at me.

"Hmmm," he says, frowning.

"Hmmm?" I ask.

"I'm not used to being around a Luna who runs the pack as an equal partner. I'll have to make sure that I remember to treat my Lunas as equal partners as well," he says, and we begin walking again. "How are the twins? I'm assuming they're both marked and mated now?"
