A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) novel Chapter 23

Megan Deere

Meg stood in front of the Luna's door and knocked.

"Enter," she called out.

Elder Damascus White was in the office when she walked in. She bowed in greeting according to Forest Moon's custom when a younger werewolf meets a council elder.

"You look well, dear Megan," he remarked in kind, soft tone.

"I'm well, elder, thank you," she replied with a smile. The male rose from the chair.

"My dear Luna, I hope things would move forward between those two when you return," he said.

"We all hope the same," Luna Reign replied with a serious expression.

Once the elder had left and shut the door, she mumbled, "At least, I'm not the only one worrying that Nick’s about to screw up!"

Meg wished she wouldn't offer details on her son's love life, but the Luna went on.

"That's Cassie White's uncle. Come to whine about his niece getting stood up!"

"I see," Meg replied, but she was truly not interested so she added, "the chopper is ready, Luna."

"Perfect! Get Mae and Truly. We leave immediately. I myself need the calm and serenity of a countryside this very minute," she said.
