The Perfect Luna by Marissa Gilbert

Chapter 20

Chapter 20. Don’t Go.

Riannon shifted slightly in her husband’s hands, trying to get out of his grasp but he held

her in place. Just like he did in their youth when someone looked at her and he suddenly got in his possessive alpha mode. And she always was the popular girl.

Before Ria was sure that he was like that because he loved her. Well, that assumption

was long dead now. It turned out to be as simple as him not wanting to share his toys with

anyone. And that realisation hurt her even now.

Besides, the look in Gideon’s eyes worried her. He looked as if he was ready to kill now. And she did not get why would it have such an impression on him. Apart from that “healing” episode, there was nothing between them. Was it possible that he liked her?

However, in just under a second, everything became clear on that end too.

“Don’t you think you are a bit too disrespectful to behave like that during a business meeting, Alpha…”, even though he knew his name very well, Gideon still raised a brow implying

that he had forgotten it again.

“Thorn. Just like my wife here. Brayden Thorn,” the werewolf tried not to show how that insulted him. He had a bigger problem at hand. No one wanted to piss off a lycan, even if they

did not like them. But the Lycan King went without saying. Even he, the strongest werewolf

alpha, couldn’t afford to offend him. At least not now.

So, no matter how much he did not like his wife next to that man, he had to act politely at all times.

“My apologies…”He waited for the king to let him know how to call him.

“King Gideon,” the lycan smirked darkly and Brayden clenched Ria tighter in his hands. Almost to the point of hurting her.

“My apologies, King Gideon,” he tried really hard not to grit his teeth, “It’s just that I missed my wife so much that I couldn’t handle myself properly.”

“Hmm,” Gideon sneered this time, “And here I thought you were an Alpha. Shouldn’t you be able to be more in control of your emotions? Besides, you were just fine without your wife

the other day as far as I remember.”

This jab Brayden had to swallow too. There was nothing to tell to that. And Riannon used that moment to get out of his hands and step away, which made Gideon relax at once. He felt as if a heavy boulder was lifted off his chest when she appeared to be closer to him than to her
