Chapter 24

NADIA

“So, should we plán a Luna Ceremony soon?” Beta Dominic asked, and my heart hammered in my chest.

I was so cozy wrapped up in Riley’s arm but the moment he asked it, I felt cold water being poured over me.

“No! No Luna Ceremony, please.” I blurted out, my brows furrowing.

Not that I didn’t want to. There was nothing in the world I would rather be than claimed and owned by my Alpha, but I wanted to do it the right way

Although Riley told me he wanted me here, I wasn’t sure for how long. I wasn’t even sure if what he wanted right now was enough t o make him fall in love with me.

I didn’t want the Luna title if it meant giving it up someday for someone else. I didn’t think I had the heart for it.

And there’s also Andrea looting in the air.

His people knew Andrea was supposed to be his Luna. I didn’t want to just come and be given the title without knowing who I was. I have to let his people know that I existed in his life before claiming the title. And if the ceremony ever happened, I wanted them t o know that it would be Nadia who would be named Luna and not Andrea.

It might come off as petty, but I didn’t want any memories of Andrea clouding my existence in this pack.

“Why?” Riley’s growl made me jerk away from his body.

I tilted my head up to see his scowling face. His eyes were dilating, but instead of being afraid, it just made my blood boil.

This man didn’t know how to ask nicely.I inched away from him, clutching the blanket over my body tightly as I glared at him. 

“Why are you growling?”

“Why the fuck are you deciding things without consulting me?” He snapped back.

I saw the Beta raise his hands in the air and move back before murmuring, “I’m out of here unless you both want me to stay.”

“Fuck off!”

“Stay!”

We blurted it out at the same time, and the Beta froze in his spot.

I dropped my shoulders in desperation but did not take my gaze off my mate, who was still glaring at me.

‘‘Go. I’m sorry. I’ll take care of this.’’ I mind linked Beta Dominic and he immediately turned around, leaving us alone.

‘‘No harm done. Actually, I’m happy to see that my Luna can stand up to the Alpha. Just message me if you need help to tie up the Alpha.’’

I restrained myself from smiling at his words, so instead, I turned around and stepped on the first step of the staircase, so my height would be slightly higher and I didn’t need to tilt my head up to look at Riley.

“I didn’t make any decisions. I just thought my voice needed to be heard. I don’t want a Luna Ceremony. Not yet.”

Riley let out a sigh of desperation before he brushed his hands over his face and his features softened. 

“I thought you wanted to be my Luna. Did you change your mind? What did I do wrong this time?” I smiled as a red tint crept up my cheeks.
