Chapter 18

Chapter 18. Not Greedy

Riannon froze with the lycan’s hand still on her neck when she saw her Beta baring his canines at the two of them. What was he thinking? This was offensive to any lycan and the

neck of his. He never let anyone doubt him in his life except for his sister and Reid. And if anyone did…

“Of… course,” she mumbled, not knowing how to behave now.

“Luna!” Ash tried to gather himself, still panting. But before he managed to say anything, she gave him the look. The one that meant, shut up now or I will not be able to help you next
