The Perfect Luna by Marissa Gilbert
Chapter 6
Chapter 6. Dress to Impress
“Ri,” Brayden’s head popped out of the door of Riannon’s office right when she was finishing discussing the pack’s primary school budget with the headmistress, “Do you have a
sec?”
“Yes, we are done here,” Ria handed the papers to the woman in front of her and the latter
gave her a sympathetic smile. The Luna remembered very well that she was the one who stood by her by the very end. That was one of the reasons she managed to squeeze in a little extra cash for the school.
“Luna, Alpha,” the headmistress bowed her head and left, leaving the husband and the
wife alone for the first time in a while. For the last few days, Riannon tried to avoid Brayden at
all costs. She remembered too well that their every meeting in the past life was ending badly during those days. Back then she tried to keep her dignity and not approach him first. They had meals together with pack members as always. And work meetings with Beta, Gamma and so on. But other than that, every time Bray wanted to talk to her, Riannon was finding a perfect excuse to escape. There was no point in talking to him since nothing could be changed. She debated telling him the truth about her rebirth but swept that idea under the rug. He could decide that she was crazy and use that during their divorce when she planned to get her pack
back.
The silence was getting awkward.
“Long time no see,” he came closer and she remained behind her desk to make it harder for him to approach her.
“Yeah, it’s been a while,” Ria threw herself back in her chair, “Is it about the Alpha Ball?”
“Did you get my flowers?” he asked. The flowers kept coming. He was probably still feeling guilty.
“Yes, they are lovely,” she forced a smile, “Thank you. So, did you come to speak about the Alpha Ball?”
They already had this conversation. He caught her in her office and broke her heart.
“Yes,” Brayed pulled the collar of his shirt to make it easier to breathe while Ria watched him with an indifferent expression that was clearly making him uncomfortable. “It’s about Roxy
… I mean Roxanne.”
“What about her?” she pretended not to know what it was about.
“Listen,” he sighed and averted her gaze, “I kind of promised her that I would take her to the ball as my partner.”
“It’s… a long story,” he cleared his throat, “Please, understand. My wolf is dying when she is unhappy. And she has never been to a ball like that.”
“Oh, my,” Ria gasped and shook her head, “Should I maybe take Enzo with me? He hasn’t seen an event like that either. And neither did Cole.”
She mentioned the hottest single warriors of the pack on purpose. And heard a growl
emerge from her husband’s chest. That served him right.
“What is it with you lately, Ri?” he looked at her in disbelief, “My Luna will not be going with someone else!”
“But it’s okay if my Alpha goes with someone else? How is that fair?” she shot her brow up, challenging him. And Brayden hated challenge.
“Maybe you should sit this one out then!” he snarled at her and for the first time, she
started to get worried here. She needed that ball. She needed it badly.
“No, thanks,” the Luna crossed her hands on her chest, “I got my own personal invitation. Besides, it’s important to mingle with other Lunas for the sake of our pack. We still need to organise student and warrior exchanges and a couple of mating events for over 18s. Or do you expect Roxy to be able to deal with it instead of enjoying her first big ball? What kind of Cinderella she would be then if she would have to work again?!”
He exhaled through his nostrils and she knew that she managed to win.
“Fine,” he grunted standing up, “But you will go with Ash then. He is going anyway since he is the pack’s Beta.”
