The Heartless Alpha’s Beloved Luna

Chapter 137 Avery's POV For the next few days, I kept up my training with Ian, but neither Jessica nor Gideon attended. Instead, Ian's sister Melody offered to be my same-size training partner. With their help, I continued to work on my strength and stamina. I did receive a note from Gideon's Beta, Tegan, informing me of when our entourage would be leaving for the Alpha Ball. Since it was some ways away, we would be taking a number of pack vehicles and bring enough clothes to last the several days of the gathering.

I turned into the hallway outside our bedrooms in time to see Deirdre leaving my room with a pair of scissors. She was still limping from her injuries, and at the sight of me, she smiled widely. "Oh, Luna!" She said in that fake sweet voice, "I wanted to check to see what you were wearing to the Alpha Ball. You know, we don't want to be too matchy -matchy, but it looks like all your clothing is torn up! Whatever happened?" She waved her scissors at me ---- and disappeared into Gideon's room. I raced into my bedroom. It wasn't like I had a lot of nice clothes.

Most of what I wore daily were simple, everyday outfits that made it easy to work in the garden. However, I had owned two nice dresses. The first was the one that I had worn to the Pack Acceptance ceremony, the first time I had danced with Gideon. The second was the outfit I had gotten married in. Both had been simple but beautiful. Now both lay in tatters on my bed, torn to ribbons by Dierdra's shears. A sob tore from my throat. I wasn't usually sentimental with clothes, but both of these had been associated with memories that reminded me of Gideon, and they had meant something to me.

---- I needed a backup plan. Dierdra thought if she could keep me from attending the Ball, she would be able to walk in on Gideon's arm alone. I couldn't let that happen. Wiping my tears, I went into the

out. She was in here yesterday and bought up all the dancing dresses I had." Of course. I may have limited the ways in which Deirdra could fuck with my Luna duties, but that hadn't stopped her from interfering with me personally. My eyes fell on some bolts of fabric laying on the counter. "Would... Is it possible to ask you to sew something for me

nodded, "if you will sell me the rest of this fabric and some needles and thread. Please have someone deliver them to my room." A plan was forming in my mind.
