The Perfect Luna by Marissa Gilbert

Chapter 47

Chapter 47. The Summit Parti

She scanned the room desperately looking for that one person only and when their eyes met, it was the hardest thing for her ever to not give away her true emotions. Because Brayden was right next to her and watching her every move. He wrapped his hand possessively around her waist and pulled his wife closer.

Gideon wanted to kill him. The man didn’t even realise how thin the ice he was walking

on was. If he gave him the smallest of reasons, he would snap his neck in less than a second.

And would never regret it.

But looking into Riannon’s blue eyes he knew that it was neither the place nor the time.

What he really wanted was to have his hands on her, to have her close to him. And all he had to

do now was wait. Just a little longer.

Without even so much as a nod or wave, he turned away and left the foyer, going straight to the room where the summit was supposed to be held. Reid and a few guards followed him closely behind.

Brayden released his grip on her as soon as the Lycan king was gone. Riannon would have scoffed if she could, but she also knew that it could cost her. Everything in due time.

“Bray!” she heard a familiar sweet voice and couldn’t believe it.

She didn’t even manage to turn her head when Roxy had already jumped into her husband’s arms, making him let her go. The foyer was full of Alphas, their Betas and Gammas,

and Lunas who came with their spouses. Not to mention that practically each of them had guards around. And all of them watched the show.

Riannon tried not to give them any reaction. She had to remember that soon this

humiliation would be over.

“What are you doing here?” Brayden seemed as startled as she was, “You are not

supposed…”

“I came here to support you, of course,” the redhead smiled innocently, “Your sister Harper drove me here. She said that all mates come here to support their Alphas.”

“How sweet of her,” Ria let out a little laugh.

“Did I do something wrong?” Roxy looked at him with big eyes that were already filling up with tears. That girl probably drank more than two litres of water per day. Her tear flow was

limitless.

Brayden did not know what to say. It was already inconvenient and awkward. He learned

his lesson at the Alpha Ball, which did not go the way he planned. But if Roxanne made a   embarrassing. He couldn’t afford that.

“Of course, not,” he took his mate’s shoulders, rubbing them gently, but still distanced her from himself a bit, “You just surprised me. That’s all. And where is Harper?”

He wanted to make his sister babysit since she was the one to cause that mess.

“She drove away,” Roxy flattered her eyelashes innocently. “She said she was going shopping and that you can take me home when you are done.”

“My dear,” he coughed, glancing at his wife, “I can’t. I am busy.”

“We still have a few hours before the start,” Riannon said, “Go show her around. I am

sure it’s her first time at a place like that.”

“It is!” Roxanne took his hands in hers, “Can you really go with me now?”

“What are you going to be doing?” Brayden looked at his wife suspiciously, but she pointed at the entrance to the restaurant on her right – the opposite direction to where Gideon
