The Perfect Luna

Chapter 62. Give Me Strength

“I hope you are not meaning to tell me that you are with a child,” Castiel sighed, as if he was already bored and Roxanne was hesitating to start talking. However, he stopped the men who wanted to take her back, and Roxy knew that this was her chance. “I am already aware. You don’t seriously think that you are the only spy I sent there,” the fox king added.

“This may be your child,” she still said out loud in the hope that it could change anything in his eyes. But they still remained the same stormy grey colour she fell in love with. And not a muscle on his face flinched.

“Highly unlikely,” he said, and her face fell. “But it’s good that you are pregnant.”

His last words suddenly gave her hope and she looked at him again through her lashes. “You think so?” Roxy forced a little smile and saw him smirk.

“Of course,” he let out a laugh, “If it’s a wolf, then we can use him in a when it’s born to claim Thorn’s pack and territory if we can’t do that now. But if we are particularly lucky, it will be a hybrid like you are. And this opens a window of possibilities for us. Especially if the baby inherits your siren genes. Those are the most useful for us, don’t you think? Every fox can imitate a scent given to them, but only a siren can seduce a person in a way that they never even suspect a thing. Your work with Brayden Thorn was not bad in the first phase. He never even doubted that you were his mate.”

She swallowed. The future that he pictured for her child wasn’t the one she wanted. But his cold gaze made her forget about all that quickly. Right now, her own survival was more important. Castiel wasn’t the most forgiving leader. And she made a big mistake today.

“So?” he raised his brow to demonstrate to her that he was losing his patience.

“I have access to all the money of the Silver River pack,” Roxy reported, “Moreover, Brayden made sure that his ex didn’t even get a penny for her pack. She would be done very

fast.”

“Is that so?” Castiel chuckled, “I think you are underestimating Riannon Michaels again. But never mind. Let’s go.”

He motioned for her to follow him into his office, and she tried to match his pace. There, he opened the laptop on his desk, and she knew at once that he didn’t want her to waste any more of his precious time.

With shaky fingers, Roxanne logged in to Brayden’s internet banking account and

“Is that it?” Castiel took the laptop back and circled the table to sit in his chair. He

“That’s all there was after their divorce,” she told him, and he looked at her curiously, but a few seconds later he burst out laughing. He laughed and he laughed, wiping his tears with his hands. All the while she stood in front of him, trembling. She never saw him like that. And it

was scary.

She instantly knew what he was thinking. And she wasn’t so sure anymore about anything.
