The Perfect Luna by Marissa Gilbert

Chapter 69

Chapter 69. Goodbye. 

She went into the room timidly, carrying a tray with… well, tea. Riannon wanted to laugh

out loud, taking a mental note to not drink it. It was unlikely that the omega would try to poison her now, but just the thought of consuming anything that her hands touched repulsed the

Alpha.

There was a possibility, of course, that in this lifetime Alice wouldn’t be working for the foxes yet. She wasn’t a part of the main team even back in her previous life. But now Riannon kind of hoped that she had been recruited already. It would be really helpful to them. 

The chances were high. Alice was pouring the tea into one of the cups when Ria took a quick glance at her. Ever since she saw the past, she had been wondering what made the omega serve Roxy? Their pack was one of the best and life inside of it was comfortable for

everyone. On top of that, omegas were guaranteed protection at all times and it was truly priceless in their cruel world. Maybe she had bigger ambitions than just serving tea to the higher-ranking wolves? Or maybe she needed money for some reason. Either way, they promised her something that corrupted her loyalty to the pack. And it couldn‘t be a coincidence that right now both her and Marcus had chosen her pack and not Brayden’s. Ria also remembered that Alice had a chosen mate who was just slightly higher in ranking than an omega and wondered if he was taking part in it. But she doubted that, considering what she witnessed the girl doing with Marcus in the woods right before her death. Another proof that

true mates ruled over chosen ones.

They did their best to ignore her. Everybody took omegas for granted and, although Riannon hated to admit that and tried to know everyone in her pack, at times like this, she was one of them. This was what the fox king counted on. And right now she had to play along. And so did Gideon. Daily new chapters in www.noveljar.com

“Ria, you are crazy if you think that I am letting you go with just six warriors,” the lycan king growled dominantly, and she caught herself thinking that it sounded hot.

“We can’t take too many. If they see them, then Harper would be dead.” Riannon explained calmly as Alice was placing a cup in front of her. “Don‘t worry, they are strategic places. If we hide them there, no one will know. It’s next to impossible to see them from the ground, so unless they come in a plane...” 

“This is not what I am worried about, and you know it,” he sighed, tapping his fingers on the map. Ria was impressed by his acting skills. Gideon really did not give out any drama school kid vibes. But on the other hand, he was a politician just like her. They had to act more

“We already talked about it,” Riannon tried to sound firm and annoyed as Alice placed a cup of tea in front of her, grazing her eyes over the map. “Thank you,” she did not look at her as

she said that.

“There is only one problem,” her mate chuckled, “I don‘t give a damn about Harper. I haven’t even seen her.. But you are my whole world. I am not risking my queen.”

“Of course you are not,” she fidgeted with the cup in her hands, “That’s why we are working on this plan.” 

“And it needs more warriors. Lycan warriors.” They stared at each other and it was the worst part because she wanted to laugh since it reminded her of a children’s game. But he didn’t even flinch and that gave her strength to go on as well.

“Fine,” she groaned, “Bring your lycans, but I am bringing my warriors too. So, we‘ll bring six people each. I need to think of new places to position them.”

“Whatever,” Gideon smirked, “Lycans are the fastest shifters. You can position them far away to avoid them being noticed and they will still be in place on time at the first signal.” 

“Good to know,” she put the cup with tea away, pretending to look at the map. “Then I will place half of them here. And the other half… I need to think about it some more.”

They let Alice hear enough, not wanting it to be too unnatural. One thing was for sure, Castiel wasn’t an i***t. He would realise that something was off if he received full information about their plan. That would be very lucky even for the sly fox.

Gideon refused the tea and Alice was stumbling with her tray.

“Do you think she bought it?” Ria almost jumped when she heard Gideon’s voice in her head. But when the realisation settled, she smiled at him. It was the first time they used mind–linking, which was now possible due to their mating process being completed. It was
