The Perfect Luna

Chapter 55: The Accusations

She waited for him in the middle of the spacious hall and wasn’t surprised at all when the redhead devil appeared right behind him, flapping her long lashes innocently.

Brayden had a mixture of emotions on his face, and she knew at once that he wouldn’t make it easy for her. Not that she was counting on it.

“Was it really necessary?” She arched her brow at him, but not a muscle flinched on his face.

“Don’t blame me after what you did at the Summit.” He told her and she tilted her head to look at him. Ash walked out of his office and a few other people were gathering around them as well.

“I had the right to do what I did, and I don’t think anyone in their right mind can blame me, “Riannon shrugged. She knew that she had to choose her words carefully now, but she also wanted to be honest with herself.

“You tricked me,” he said finally.

“Let’s agree to disagree,” she sighed, “You had the project in your hands the whole time and it’s not my fault that you didn’t read it carefully. Or worse – you read it but didn’t understand the meaning.”

“Forgive me for trusting my wife,” he gritted through his teeth, “You could have told me that you found your mate as well. Like I did. I was honest about it.”

“Should I have brought him to live with us as well?” she rolled her eyes, “Because my wolf needs it?”

“Does she now?” Brayden sneered and for the first time Riannon had a bad feeling about this. Especially when she saw ‘Roxy smirking behind his back too. Something was up with the two of them and she did not like it.

“Anyway,” Ria decided to change the topic, “There is no point in postponing the inevitable. You will need to leave my land today. The papers have been processed.”

“And what about my people?” Brayden growled.

“Your people live on your land,” she explained to him calmly, “And whoever decides to stay here today, will be my people.”

“How do you see them leaving their houses?” the Alpha in front of her clenched his fists.

“This is exactly why they would have a choice. They can either stay with me or go with you. I am not going to force anyone. The same goes for people in your territories. If they want to join The Pearl Moon, we will find a place for them.” then?

“We meet in the garden, where we always discuss pack matters with the members. And we let them choose. Today.” She held his gaze, and he finally gave up.

“Okay,” he pointed at the door, “Let’s go then. After you. Ash, call pack members to the garden. We will let them vote for who they stay with today.”

“Most are already there,” Riannon informed him and he couldn’t hide his annoyance at her taking the lead in this.

Are you really sure you want to do this?” he asked her, “We could still go back now. It’s not too late. But it will be late after the vote.”
