The Perfect Luna

Ria was descending the stairs slowly and with grace, noticing how Brayden turned to see what everybody else was looking at. He was shocked that it was his own wife. And Riannon found this offensive. So, when he offered her his hand to the displeasure of princess Peach… ghm, Roxy in her ugly peach dress, she ignored that and went past them as if they did not know each other. The move made another wave of whispers erupt. And in the werewolf world whispers were nothing – everyone could hear what the conversation was about.

Ria went to greet a few couples that she knew, all of them stretched their best smiles for her, not commenting on the awkward situation. She was done with that quickly and since the party seemed to go on, she decided to go and get herself some liquid courage. Goddess knew she needed some today.

From the corner of her eye, she noticed that the balcony on the other side of the room, the one that was usually used by the owner of the house, Alpha Richards, was covered with white curtains to hide what was going on inside. She could see a few figures moving there but that was about it. She was curious what it was about but not to the extent to actually go and check for herself as

“Luna Thorn,” a male voice appeared behind her back and she turned to face an unfamiliar alpha. He was one of the new and younger ones as she didn’t know him. In some packs, alphas were changing frequently due to power struggles. She and Brayden managed to avoid those and were considered something like elders even though she was 25 and he was 26.

“Hello,” she greeted him with a soft smile. After all, it was only polite.

“Alpha Zach Morgan,” the man introduced himself and he looked to be in his late 20s as well, “The Alpha of the Emerald Mountain pack.”

“Ah, I’ve heard,” Riannon was now interested. Everybody heard the rumours about the alpha’s bastard child who challenged his elder brother (who was a moron, by the way) and won his title, “Impressive!”

“A compliment from someone like you is a compliment indeed,” he smirked and gestured for the barmen to serve them drinks, “Champagne for the lady and brandy for me.”

He didn’t even ask her. Alphas were like that.

“Riannon,” another Alpha appeared from her other side, “Looking gorgeous as ever.”

His hand wrapped around her waist as if it belonged there, making Zach growl quietly as a warning her. They both thought that she was back on the market.

How funny! But also useful. Because she was, after all, on the market. Even though she had another

man’s mark on her neck. But that man was with someone else now, enjoying his time. As far as Ria remembered from the previous life, the two of them had a blast while she was forgotten. She hid in a corner in a modest dress and left early. Alone. Her heart was broken and she couldn’t even talk to anyone, although she did her best. As always.

Now the game was on. Her heart was not aching anymore.

Well, maybe a bit. But she could still think clearly now. And she could see the hungry gazes everyone had on her. Every. Single. Male. And maybe it was petty, but she loved the attention. She craved it after everything that happened. She needed to feel like a woman again. And a beautiful at that.
