The Perfect Luna by Marissa Gilbert

Chapter 39. Interrogation

Riannon knew that she would never forget that face and she recognised him at once. The man who accused Maya of being a traitor. The man she interrogated personally for many hours. The man even Ash interrogated and he was by far one of the cruelest interrogators she knew. And yet that man never cracked.

She remembered his perfect face being broken in many places and yet he kept saying the same story over and over again. He was the one to blame for what happened to Maya back in the past. Because he helped to set her up.

Riannon always knew that this man was connected to Roxy somehow. She knew it. She just had this gut feeling inside telling her that she was right about that.

He watched her walking inside of the barn with Ash by her side and she could swear that she saw a vague smile in the corner of his lips.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) His hands were chained and lifted up and he was shirtless, revealing his perfect muscles.

A warrior. This was what he claimed to be. His long brown hair was reaching his shoulders and was not bloody yet, meaning that no one tried to beat the truth out of him. Yet.

“Ri,” Brayden stormed her way but stopped when she gave him a death stare.

“What is going on here?” she walked past him and stood in front of the man. Maya was in the room too and they exchanged knowing glances. No words were needed. But Riannon tried her best to signal her friend that everything would be fine. Whatever it took now, she would make sure that nothing happened to her in this lifetime. She wasn’t going to lose her again.

She noticed a few warriors and their Gamma in the room as well. All of them looked concerned. Maya was everyone’s favourite and some of the men were even after her in hopes to get her as their chosen mate.

At least, she could hope for their support if it came to this.

“Nice to see you, Ri,” Brayden stood next to her right in front of the man with the grey eyes who was watching her with some kind of amusement in him, “I missed...”

“I asked what is going on here!” she demanded not even bothering to look at him.

“Unfortunately, our Maya is compromised,” her husband sighed as if he was sad. He

wasn’t. She knew that he wasn’t. He did not care. She wasn’t his friend. If anything, they were NOT each other’s biggest fans although there was never an open confrontation.

“Nonsense,” she interrupted him.

“Luna,” Roxy dared to speak, “We found out that Maya…” “Shut up!” Riannon said calmly but loud enough for everyone to hear, “You may be my

Unless something changed in the few days that I’ve been absent.”

Everyone looked at her. And she only lifted her chin up higher.

“I understand that you are upset, Riannon,” Brayden said, finally not using her nickname anymore, (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)“But Roxy… Roxanne here was vital for the investigation.”

“I have no doubt!” she let out a laugh that was stone cold. “Helpful little omega, isn’t she? How did all this start again?”

“I…” Roxy started to form tears in her eyes the way she always did, trembling.

“There, there,” Ria came to her and patted her shoulder, “You were so brave and full of yourself just three seconds ago. I am sure you can handle an adult conversation without bursting into tears for once if you try really hard.”

Again, no one spoke a word. They all just looked at her, stunned.

“Maybe you need emotional support?” Riannon went on, “We can do that too! Luckily your mate is right here! Come on, Bray, give her a hug. The girl needs some strength! For the sake of her wolf and all.”

Her husband clenched his lips tight. But before he was to reply something, Roxy spoke.

“All I did was notice she had your bracelet under her shirt when you left. I didn’t think much of it, but later I followed her and saw her walking into your room. She went straight to your jewellery box and took something else from it.”
