The Wolf King's Luna

Chapter 50 CHAPTER 50

FAYE

We both walk a small distance away from them to strip out of our clothes before shifting into our wolf forms and running the rest of the way to the crags, our clothes in our mouths.

It is a small distance, Luacs and I had both decided to meet in the middle point between packs.

During the run, my mind ruminates through many thoughts.

What if he doesn't believe me?

What if he refused to take the offer that Alpha had extended to him?

Would I have to reject him?

Would I have the strength to do so?

The thoughts just continue to spiral from there, tiling me up and making me even more anxious.

"You need to calm down," my wolf's cool tone washes over my mind. "He hasn't said anything yet, why worry over what might not happen?" she asks.

"Because it might happen. You know, you are way too calm with the possibility of us losing our mate," I tell her.

"I am not. I am just choosing to see how it goes before I settle on an emotion. Honestly, what is with you mortals and your lack of control?"

"What lack of control?! I am very controlled."

"Not over your emotions, you are not."

"They are emotions! Feelings! They can't be controlled," I snap.

"Says you."

Unfortunately, before I can respond, we arrive at the crags. I see Lucas waiting up ahead for me and I rush to him, tail wagging.

He gets down to my level to give my ears a light scratch. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"You have a beautiful wolf, Faye,", he murmurs, before rubbing his hand across my fur.

I hear a loud snort behind me and I turn to see Mel, standing a few distance away, still in her wolf form.

Quickly giving him a small head butt, I join and follow her to a safe space where we change back and get dressed.

"You have a beautiful wolf, Faye" she mimics.

"You are just jealous," I retort.

"In your dreams."

"Whatever. So, " I ask as I turn to her. "What do you think?"

"About what?"

"About Lucas," I snap.

"Ah. Well, he is handsome."

"Seriously?! That is all you can say?"

"What do you want me to say? I just met the man," she snaps back.

That is true.

Damn, I need to call down.

"Very well, then. Let's get you two introduced, come on," I say as I lead the way out.

I hear her groan before her footsteps echo behind me.

"Hi," I say as I join Lucas, who is sitting on a rock.

"Hi, how have you been?"

"Good. I hope you weren't waiting too long?" I ask.

"Nah, I got here a few minutes before you."

"That's good then. This is Melissa, my closest friend, fellow warrior, and our Alpha's sister," I introduce.

"A pleasure to meet you," he says to her.

"Hmm. I have been curious about what kind of man would be Faye's mate. Please tell me about yourself."

Seriously? This again?

"You don't-"

"What would you like to know?" he asks patting my hand in a calming gesture.

"Lucas!" I whine.

"It's okay. She asks because she is worried about you. So what do you want to know?"

"What position do you find in your pack?" she asks.

"I am a Delta warrior."

"Delta? That is a pretty high rank. You must be in Va- uh, your Alpha's confidence."

"How do you mean?" he asks.

"I mean, you must know about every decision that he carries out. You must have carried out some yourself," she answers.

"Mel!"

"Ah, I see what this is about. Okay then. First of all, I am not in the Alpha's confidence and no, the Alpha has never ordered the death of any member of his pack. That is until recently."

"Recently?"

"It seems we at the Skylight pack were the only ones who didn't know what was going on in our pack. Alpha had recently found out about those killings you were talking about," he says looking at me. "He was very disturbed about it."

"Oh really, and what did he do about it?" Mel asks, snidely.

"Cool it, will you!" I snap back at her.

"He held a public trial and had those responsible for said actions killed. Right there and then."

"Oh."

"Yeah. He was very hurt about it. Ever since then, the pack has undergone some overhaul, making sure there are no others like them still hiding around."

"That must be making waves in your pack," Mel says.

"It is ruffling a few feathers but it is for the best."

"Anything else you would like to know?"

"A few. Next question, why is your Alpha here?"

"Here? Where?" he asks confused.

"In our pack."

"Alpha is at your pack? I didn't know that?"

"Hmm. Okay then, how is your Luna? We heard that your Alpha had found his mate. There was supposed to be a mating ceremony, wasn't there? What happened?"

"How did you know about that?" he demands.

"You have leaky holes in your pack. You can add that to the list of things you would like to change in your pack. So, what happened?"

I watch as Lucas purses his lip and falls into deep thought.

"I am sorry, but that is something I'm not at liberty to say," he answers.

"Why not?"

"Not my place. My turn," he says.

"Your turn? You have questions for us?"

"Of course. I have been a good sport answering yours, the least you could do is answer mine."

"True. Shoot, go ahead and ask your questions?"

"Question. Just one. What do you know about Catherine?"

The question knocks the winds out of my sails. I can see it has the same effect on Mel because she freezes like a deer caught in headlights.

"I don-"

"And please, don't think of lying to me. I know you know her. Where is she?"

Well, this was a fun date, wasn't it?
