The Perfect Luna

It took a few good seconds for Riannon to realize who that person was. And it took her a few more to gather herself and not give in to panic.

She tried to think calmly. She knew very well that it was best not to scream. No one would be here fast enough to save her. And she wouldn’t have a chance in a fight with a professional warrior now. Not without her wolf at full force.

To her disappointment, Onyx still wasn’t showing up. So, she had to think in a completely different direction.

Axel/Everett or whoever this guy’s name was never showed up in her previous life. He escaped without a trace. It would be easier for him to kill her quietly and do just that while she was washing in the bathroom. But it looked like he was waiting for her, meaning that her life wasn’t what he was after.

At least not now.

It was surprisingly convenient how his story helped out Roxy. And Riannon did not believe in the coincidences like that.

“Impressive, Everett” she smirked and praised him as she stepped closer, folding her hands on her chest to cover herself at least a bit. She used that name on purpose to let him know that he didn’t mishear her the first time.

“Right back at you, Luna,” the man-made a step forward as well. He had a few cuts and bruises here and there and was topless, wearing just a pair of jeans. Not his, because they were sitting too tight on him.

“Did you lose your shirt on the way here?” she co.cked her brow up at him.

“Do I really need one?” he flexed his muscles playfully while his lips curled into a sly smile, “I find clothes restricting when I kill people.”

Riannon’s chest tightened at his words. Those were her people. Moreover, she asked Ash to make sure only the best ones guarded him. And his best warriors were the strongest among the werewolves… If he took them down, then…

She prohibited herself to think about that now. Now wasn’t the time.

“So, I guess, I have to thank you for fetching some trousers on then,” Ria slowly walked to one of her armchairs and gestured for him to sit on the opposite one.

“I have to admit,” ‘Everett said, “You surprised me. And that doesn’t happen often.”

“My pleasure,” she shrugged her shoulders, “So, what brings you here… Excuse me, I still don’t know your real name, Everett. Or Axel. What is it again?”

she whispered, not being able to hide her surprise. She suspected him to be a Beta or a Gamma at least. But not an Alpha. Alphas were rare. They weren’t disposable like that. No pack would send an Alpha to a dangerous mission alone because they were valuable even if they weren’t the actual alphas of their packs. And Everett was risking a lot.
