The Perfect Luna

Riannon tried to stay calm. It wasn’t easy in the Lycan king’s presence, but she did try her best. It did not help that he was incredibly good looking. Neither did it help that she remembered very well how he brushed her off and humiliated her over the phone. The memory was still fresh in her mind, and it bugged her. He bugged her. He made emotions raise inside of her and she did not like it. She was trained well enough to conceive them at all times. Although werewolves were beasts and had animalistic instincts, it was considered bad manners for a Luna to show them. A perfect Luna couldn’t growl, couldn’t get angry, couldn’t display what she felt for everyone to see. A perfect Luna had to be… well, perfect. At all times.

And Ria was always considered one of the best in that regard.

Yet with the Lycan king, she wanted nothing more than to come up and slap his incredibly handsome face. Hard.

She did not even want to do that to Brayden. Although the rational part of her knew that he deserved it more.

But that man in front of her, who did not take his eyes off her…irked her. To the point that she wanted to do something about it. And his scent of coffee and sandalwood, which was the mixture of the two things she loved the most, bothered her too.

Ria wished Onyx was there with her. Her wolf had better instincts and could help her to figure out what to do. She had her all her life and now it was hard to be on her own.

Yet she had no choice. “What exactly do you want to know, Your Majesty?” she tried not to show her irritation, but a little smirk still touched his lips.

“Everything, Riannon,” he addressed her by her name only, which was way too intimate for their first meeting face to face. But he was a lycan. And they were arrogant and considered themselves the higher class of wolf species. Everyone else was below them. So, Ria had to swallow that.

“Should I start with my childhood then?” she couldn’t help making the snarky remark and bit her lip as soon as she said that, making an internal growl leave his body immediately.

Okay, no more jokes then.

“You asked for my help,” he reminded her. “And you refused to help me, Your Majesty,” she pointed out in turn. “Gideon,” he practically gritted through his teeth. “Excuse me?” she darted him a surprised gaze. was gaping, trying to figure out if he was joking.

“I can’t…” she tried to protest but noticed how his eyes got darker at once.

“It’s an order,” he said coldly, making her gulp.

She wasn’t his biggest fan at the moment but she definitely did not want to make him her enemy.

At least not now. Something was very wrong and she did not feel that he was her mate. Although, the longer they were this close to each other, the more he knew that she was the one for him. This was frustrating and agonising. All he wanted was to grab her and
