The Perfect Luna by Marissa Gilbert

Chapter 16. How Dare You?

“I am asking you again, omega,” the Lycan king growled, “Who do you think you are to say such things?!”

All other omegas bowed their heads and only Roxy stood there, trembling.

Riannon’s lips parted in shock as she took him in. Today he was wearing ripped jeans and a grey T-shirt that was slightly too tight around his muscular body. He had sunglasses on which he took off right before their eyes met.

He was a fine specimen of a Lycan. Tall and broad-shouldered as if he spent most of his time training and fighting. Yet his green eyes gave away his sharp mind and experience. Someone like him wouldn’t buy the pathetic lies of the scheming omega in front of him. And for some reason, it made Riannon very happy inside.

“I am so sorry, Alpha,” Roxy started stuttering and Ria thought to herself that for the first i e ever this might have been genuine. The aura around the Lycan King was deadly and even she could feel it.

“I am afraid a simple sorry is not going to cut it, little girl. You are not that little thought to not know any rules. Or now that you found out that you are the Alpha’s mate you decided that you are above everyone and anyone?” Gideon chuckled darkly, “I hate to break it to you, but even Alphas are not above our laws. And you are still a no one as of now. I don’t see a mark on your neck, do r?”

No one dared to speak and Roxanne’s head was getting lower and lower.

“Not to mention that even if you did have a mark,” the Lycan king stepped closer, “I could still demand your life as a tribute to me for your insolence. And, trust me, your Alpha would kill your himself in an instant just to appease me. If he is not a complete i***t, of course. Which I

they were bigger and stronger, and way more powerful. And there was a reason why everyone obeyed them.
