The Perfect Luna by Marissa Gilbert

Chapter 40. Leave

They all froze, watching Reid breathing heavily as he stood at the entrance of the barn. He wasn’t supposed to be here. And he did not look his usual self with messy hair and crazy eyes that were glowing blue now. Eyes that were looking at Maya only.

“Who the hell are you?!” Brayden growled, his head snapping in his wife’s direction. However, he quickly realised, to his own relief, that the intruder wasn’t looking at her. So he placed Maya back to her feet. Riannon cuddled her friend at once. Nevertheless, Maya wasn’t

her usual self either.

“Mate,” she whispered and, for the first time ever, Riannon saw a tear running down her

cheek.

Maya never cried before. At least, she hadn’t had any memories of her doing that. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Maya was tough. And yet her mate managed to bring the emotions out of her within just a mere second.

But she did not want their people to fight a lycan. And Reid of all the people in the world.

“There is no need for this,” she stepped in between them hoping to negotiate. “Of course, there isn’t,” her husband said through his teeth, “Just leave our territory and

“Not without my mate,” the lycan balled his fists, muscles flexing on his arms and chest.

“You mean Maya?” the Alpha looked at the girl who stood next to his wife and an idea

struck him at once, “Well, you need to know that from this day in our pack she is considered a

traitor.”

“Brayden!” now Riannon wanted to slap him even more than when he was sleeping with Roxy in the next room to hers. She glanced at her friend and noticed how she clenched her lips.

“Maya is a beautiful name,” was all that Reid said to them as he took another step.
