The Perfect Luna by Marissa Gilbert

Chapter 78

Castiel looked around furiously. He couldn’t believe his own eyes. His place of relaxation, his beloved Eden was turned into… he didn’t even know how to name it!

The girls in red weren’t waiting for him. For the first time ever, they did not even notice his arrival.

He was already standing in the very centre of the inner courtyard, but they were playing cards, swimming naked in front of his guards, dancing, smoking, drinking, simply being drunk – anything but waiting for him.

They were having fun, the most fun they had for a while. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)And the sad part was that they were doing it without him.

His eyes were glued to his guards, who stood like two stone statues in front of the swimming pool, surrounded by a few of his girls who were clearly taunting them. He had to admit that they weren’t touching what was his, but what was his tried to touch them at all times. He saw Laura, his first-ever werewolf gem, sliding her arm up Mason’s chest. The werebear looked at her in fascination, not even bothered that this was not allowed. Castiel didn’t visit Laura for months if not years. He didn’t remember. Long story short, she lost his affections a while ago. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Was it because she missed his attention? Or maybe she wanted to remind him of her presence? Or she simply did not care? He did not know.

Others were not better. But he did not care about them.

He got there as soon as he realised that she was gone from her room and her guards were missing as well. And when he did not find them anywhere, he had a hunch where to look next.

Well, Riannon did not disappoint. He could tell that this was her work. She was sending a message to him, demonstrating that it was a mistake to bring her in here. That despite her being a captive here, she was still in control.

Cunning, sly woman. Just perfect for him.

He had been looking for someone like that for a while. Only that he hoped that it would be his mate.

He never planned to kidnap a woman in his life. It was important for him that

But when Riannon came into the game, everything changed. He was never interested in anyone like that in his life. He couldn’t forget the moment when her elegant fingers touched his skin and she called him handsome, looking into his eyes as if she knew everything about him. And when she called him Everett, he couldn’t overcome his shock. Usually he was the one to play with people like that but with her

he felt like the one being played all the time.

That was why he went to her room straight after Roxanne freed him. And that was why he was thinking about her ever since.

He watched her playing her games with her now ex-husband and others. And the more he saw, the more he was sure that she would be a perfect Luna for him. There was only one problem – her true mate. But maybe it was for the best. After all, he was going to kill the lycan king anyway. Now he only had more motivation.

Riannon was strong. Castiel was sure that she would survive the loss of her mate and then… Then she would be his. He would be there to console her and he would be there to replace her everything she lost. Bit by bit he would heal her heart and make her trust him. He would make his kingdom hers and she would feel responsible for their people. In the end, she would stay with him and rule together. All he needed to make this happen was time. And after Gideon Stormhold was killed, they would have all the time in the world.

He found her sitting with Bridgit of all the people. They were playing chess and talking like two best friends who had known each other forever.

Brigit. BRIGIT!

The one who was ready to kill anyone he even looked at. The one who all the girls were afraid of and whose word could move mountains in the harem.

For the first time, fury overwhelmed him and he roared, “What the hell is all this?”

He expected everyone to go still and quiet, but his voice did not have that effect now. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Some of the red girls were too drunk to notice and react. And this was when he smelled weed and recognised the cigar in one of his property’s hands.

Riannon and Bridgit were the only ones to notice. But he let out another roar so

that this time not a soul in this harem could miss it.

period of time. He had to be impressed with her abilities but he was angry.

“Castiel, play with us!” Laura teased him, but he ignored her, moving straight to

Riannon.

She watched him with interest and even some kind of amusement. He knew

that she had planned all this and she tried to make a fool out of him. Successfully.

“Come here!” he growled, yanking her by her slender arm to her feet. Brigit next to them stood up as well.

“Oh, hello,” Ria smiled at him, “we did not expect you here. But you are welcome to join us. What do you prefer to play? Cards, chess, hide-and-seek?”

“The game night is over!” he shouted, “Everyone, back to your rooms!”

The girls started gathering their things and from the corner of his eye, he noticed some of them still taking the bottles of alcohol and cigars with them. Probably to finish them off in their rooms.
