The Perfect Luna by Marissa Gilbert

Chapter 54. Regrets

Riannon frowned. She was expecting things not to go smoothly today, but for Brayden to obstruct her even entering the pack was too much.

“I don’t think Alpha Brayden has a right to prohibit me from entering my own pack,” she looked the guards up and down. They were Brayden’s warriors, so were supposed to be loyal to him. He actually thought something through for once. “And also,” she continued, “It’s not the Luna, it’s the Alpha now. Alpha Riannon Michaels.”

The men glanced at each other but did not move.

She sighed heavily and opened the car door, stepping outside. Maya and Reid followed her, and so did the warriors who drove in another car. The whole group looked menacing.

“We don’t want any trouble,” one of the guards said firmly, “We just follow our Alpha’s

orders.”

“Very well,” Riannon smiled softly at them and produced the papers out of her folder,” Then you should know that your Alpha is currently trespassing my lands. His territory starts miles from here. And I have all the required paperwork to prove it. So, at the moment you are obstructing me from entering my own pack. And this could be taken as an act of war. Since you are clearly in the wrong here, I have the right to call other packs and the lycans to support me. And what will happen after that will be out of my control.”

They stood there, gaping at her. And when one of the lycan warriors played with the knuckles on his fists, making them click, they retreated.

“Apologies, Alpha Michaels,” one of them said, “We were not aware.”

“That’s fine,” she gave them a gracious smile as they opened the gates for her, “Can’t blame you for a simple misunderstanding.”

She asked the driver to drive slowly this time as she wanted everyone to be a witness to her arrival. So, when they parked in front of the main mansion and got out of the car gracefully, there was a crowd already.

“Ria!” her friends Tatiana and Aria got to her first, “How are you?” “You have no idea what is going on here!” they were both speaking at once.

“Oh, I think I have a pretty good idea,” she chuckled, happy that she could still count on the two she-wolves. She knew very well that loyal friends were priceless.

“Is that true?” Aria lowered her voice, “Did you really divorce Brayden?”

“Can you blame her?” Maya joined the group and Tatiana gave her a hug. They were all shattered by everything that was going on in the pack lately and were happy to see her doing

“I guess not,” the bubbly blonde giggled, “But is it true that you both are mated to lycans?

“Yes,” Riannon couldn’t help but smile and pointed at Reid, “Meet Maya’s mate Reid

Frazer, the Lycan King’s Beta.”

“My, oh, my!” Tatianna jabbed her friend with her elbow, “Lucky you!”
