The Perfect Luna by Marissa Gilbert

Chapter 77.

Gideon couldn’t believe his own eyes as he watched his little sister stare at one of the Alphas.

“Mine!” Zack Morgan growled as he stood up and stormed in her direction. Kyle next to Savannah growled defensively but she gestured for him to stop, looking at the man who was already next to her. He was breathing heavily, his eyes glowing dark purple as he took the princess before him in.

“Mate,” Savvy whispered hesitantly.

“Mate,” Zack confirmed and took another step in her direction. He extended his hand to her, clearly wishing to at least touch her.

Gideon had mixed feelings about it. It was odd to see his baby sister with a mate. But on the other hand, this was why he refused the marriage deal with the Northern King. He wanted her to have that. This euphoria of finding the one person who could make her whole.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) And judging by the little tear that fell down Savvy’s cheek, this was exactly what she felt now.

“May I?” Zack asked when his fingers almost touched her and she nodded. The whole room went quiet as finding a mate was considered the most important moment in one’s life. Even an ongoing war could wait a few moments to let two

people adjust to not being alone anymore.

Savvy nodded again. Gideon never saw her this quiet. She was always the chatterbox of the family. But now she had no words.

Zack very gently wiped the tears off her face, devouring her with his eyes. They couldn’t speak freely now in front of everyone and it was clear that his wolf wanted to get out. But he chose to remain a gentleman and Gideon was glad that he was the one mated to his little sister. And not a creep like Brayden, who was watching the whole thing not far from him with a shade of annoyance.

“You will never cry again,” Zack whispered, but of course, every lycan or werewolf in the room heard it. “I am Alpha Zack Morgan of the Emerald Mountain Pack. And it’s my honour to be your mate…”

He paused because he didn’t know her name and she smiled at him.

mouth. He didn’t realise who she was until now. Everything happened so fast.

“Savannah,” he tasted her name on his tongue, liking it. He liked everything about her. He loved it. Instantly. His mate was beautiful beyond belief with sensual lips and eyes the colour of peridots that his mother used to like so much. Her hair was falling in golden brown waves down her shoulders and her fingers felt so fragile when he held them in his large palms. He couldn’t even believe that she was a lycan. She seemed more like a fair if they existed.

“With all due respect,” Brayden cleared his throat. “Congratulations to you both but we have a few pressing matters to discuss.”

“Right,” Gideon came back to his senses as well. “He is right. Sorry, Sav.”

“It’s fine,” she wanted to proceed to sit next to her brother, but Zack took her arm and led her to the chair he was sitting on. And when she took it, he stayed behind her, standing and watching so that no other male even dared to look her way.

It was a long meeting but in the end, they found common ground and were able to agree on the same course of action. After all, it was in everybody’s interest. Most Alphas wanted to get their revenge on the foxes after the explosion at the Summit. But some were wary and wanted more proof.

But, of course, the biggest problem of all was the fact that they still didn’t know where to find Castiel and Riannon. They had a rough idea of it being somewhere in the foxes’territory and Alpha Ramina was very helpful with pointing as to where it might be. She was one of the very few who had visited those lands recently and for now, was the best source of information.

However, Gideon knew that it wasn’t enough. To get his Queen back he needed to have the precise location. He couldn’t risk it.

Unfortunately, there was only one person who could give him the intel he needed.

Roxanne slept on a mattress they brought for her in the same sparkling white room. She hated this place. And she could tell who came up with the idea. No one

idea what time it was. Or even what day. There was absolutely no way to tell. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)The room had no windows and was illuminated at all times. It was as if the time here had stopped.

She tried not to think of what the werecats told her prior. It was too much. She curled up on her so-called bed and hugged her belly. She knew far too well that it wasn’t Castiel’s child. But she could pretend now that it was. It helped her to stay sane. He was the only thing that always helped her survive. And she would survive this too.

She went from a nobody to a harem girl. And from a harem girl to one of Castiel’s best assets. For months and months, he was paying her more attention than to others. She knew that the only reason he didn’t mark her was because he needed to make sure that she was strong enough to be his Luna first.

So, this was her test. She would pass it and he would take her back. She would pass it and he would take her back. She would pass it and…

The door opened so unexpectedly that she shuddered in her place. She couldn’t understand what was going on at first when she saw the lycan king himself with his glowing eyes and bare canines. What the hell was going on? He was always the reasonable one! Why was he like that?

She crawled back to the wall instinctively. He was going to kill her. It was obvious now. She wasn’t going to make it.

“Gideon, stop!” his Beta appeared before him and tried to hold him back. But it was clear that he was weaker. Much weaker.

“Don’t do this!” Maya was right next to them, followed by Ash. They all tried to stop the lycan from…

From what? Roxy gulped, feeling how her whole body started shuddering for real now. This wasn’t a joke.

“If she has no value to him and stays silent, then she has no value to me too!”

little space between them to see what was going on.

“Gideon, it’s not over yet! We can still get Riannon back!” the Beta shouted, obstructing his Alpha from getting closer. From ripping her apart.

“He marked her!” the lycan king growled. “He… he… he made her his and announced her his queen! The pain I felt when he did it… He can’t stop!”
