The Perfect Luna by Marissa Gilbert

Chapter 81

Chapter 81.

Savannah watched Zack and his wolves fight the werecats from a safe distance when Naya got her a phone. Her heart was still in pain, seeing her mate over there. What was he trying to do? To get her back or to just kill her before she could tell Gideon what was going on? She wasn’t sure she wanted to know his true motives.

Someone wrapped a piece of fabric around her and something similar was given to Naya who immediately turned it into a stylish wrap dress. The werecat seemed confident and maybe even slightly arrogant. She did not have any doubts about what was going on. But Sawy did not care about anything at the moment as she dialled her brother’s number. It went to voicemail and she called Reid instead.

“Pumpkin, it’s not the best time,” her uncle told her, but she had to stop him.

“I need to speak to Gideon! It’s urgent, Reid! Zack is the traitor you all were looking for!” she practically screamed into the phone.

“Are you all right?” was the first question that she heard, “Did he hurt you? Are you safe?”

“I got to the werecats territory and asked for asylum. They are fighting Zack now,” Savannah explained quickly, “Reid, I am serious, I need to speak to my brother. Zack is the least of our problems now!

“Got you,” the Beta said firmly, “He doesn’t have his phone with him. But I will forward the call to one of the warriors by his side who should have one with him at all times.”

“Good,” she breathed out, watching two pumas tear one of the wolves to pieces. Zack’s black wolf was fighting too, but she caught him looking at her from time to time. It pained her that he was her mate. But it was even worse that he didn’t accept her rejection now. She couldn’t be tied to a man like that. She had to set herself free from him. One way or another.

“Sav,” she heard a familiar voice on the phone and felt a little bit better that she got through to him on time.

“Gideon, listen to me very carefully,” the princess said, “Don’t say anything until I am done. Zack is the traitor. He has been working with Castiel this whole time. There are others too…”

“Are you okay?” her brother seemed really worried, forgetting her instruction at once.

“Yes,” she didn’t let him ask more questions not to lose time. “It’s all irrelevant now, G. So, pay attention, please! This is a trap! And not the kind that you anticipated while going to get Riannon back. Right at this very moment they are attacking our kingdom, Gideon!”

She heard her royal sibling swearing on the other end of the line but he got over himself quickly.

“That’s fine, Sav. Kyle is there and so is the Gamma with most of our warriors. They will defend it,” he said firmly.

“I wouldn’t be so sure,” she bit her lip nervously, “They are bringing a whole army there! This is exactly what we’ve been worried about this whole time.”

“But now we know that they will attack now. We knew that for a while,” Gideon’s confidence was giving her strength. “We were warned so we are ready. I will get Riannon and we will be there soon to join the fight. Now, tell me quickly everything else that you know.”

She started giving him names she learned one by one and every other little detail she could remember

“Savvy,” Gideon said when she was done.”I am so proud of you. I am sorry for…”   Prove to everyone inat true mates still mean something. I need to know this now more than ever.

She switched off the phone, not wishing to hear anything else. He needed to act, not to console his little sister

And she… she had things to do too. But the silence stopped her. She did not hear the sounds of battle anymore.

Savannah turned slowly on her feet and saw that the werecats were licking their minor wounds there, notorious for being able to speed up their healing but she couldn’t see any wolves around.

“Cowards!” Naya snorted, folding her hands on her chest and looking at Savannah with interest.

“No,” the princess whispered. She had to find him. She needed to break their bond and she needed him to accept the rejection. He couldn’t have run away without a trace!

“What are you going to do about your mate?” Naya sighed and Savvy clenched her lips, thinking of her next step.

“I need your help,” she said quickly. “The kingdom will be attacked soon. I need werecats to help us.”

“Oh, really?” The girl co.cked her snowy brow. “You went very quickly from begging for Asylum to demanding things…”

Savvy caught herself at the thought that this was actually a genius idea. One swift movement of her hand and she could shift without ruining the garment.
