The Perfect Luna by Marissa Gilbert

Chapter 45

Chapter 45. Use Logic

Riannon had to calm down. This battle was lost and the phone was gone. But there were other ways to reach out to Gideon and she would find one as soon as possible.

Right now, however, she had a bigger problem. Her possessive Alpha husband was getting out of hand. And this wasn’t the state she needed him in for her plan.

“Well, congratulations, Brayden,” she folded her hands on her chest after she took a deep breath, “Now I can’t call Maya!”

“That’s not her you were going to talk to and we both know it,” he growled, not a hint of

remorse on his face.

“I was going to talk to many people. Tomorrow.” She replied calmly. “But thanks to your little tantrum that’s impossible now! But today I wanted to talk to my best friend whom my husband banished from our pack. I think I deserve at least that after everything!”

He clenched his lips and then let out an exasperated sigh.

“Ri, I…” he took a step in her direction but she motioned for him to stop, “I didn’t actually banish her.”

“No, I think I had enough,” she said, “You know, I never thought that I would see you so scared in my life!”

His facial expression changed rapidly and he was next to her in less than a second.

“What do you mean?” he snarled at her.

“Just the mention of the lycan king drives you to a point of madness,” she pointed out, “ But like it or not, we are going to see him again. And very soon. As I have already told you before, he needs that project and he is inclined to see it through even if it doesn’t get approved on its first try. So, potentially, we are looking at months of me working side by side with him and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. You’d better face those facts now.”

She could see his nostril flare up and his chest going up and down.

“I am going to see to this project being accepted on the next Alpha summit,” he gritted through his teeth, “Even if it’s the last things I do!”

She held back a smirk that was trying to desperately form on her lips. She couldn’t let him see that this was exactly what she wanted and needed.

“Do what you want,” she shrugged her shoulders and prepared to leave but he stopped her when she almost reached the door.

“Ri, you are breaking my heart,” Braiden whispered, “We are supposed to be a team, remember? The way we always were.”  could potentially ruin everything that she tried to build.

“I just need time,” Riannon said without turning to see him, carefully selecting her words. She did not want to lie even though she was deceiving him. “I am too tired from all of this today.”

Brayden unclenched his fingers and let go of her. She used this to leave him as soon as she could. She didn’t want to spend even a minute longer in his room than she had to. There must have been a few new extra phones downstairs in her office and in Brayden’s too. And all she wanted was to get one.

Unfortunately, she hadn’t been this lucky and when she was in the middle of the stairs, she saw Roxy coming up. Their eyes met and this time the omega decided not to pretend to be the ignorant crying fool.
