Don't Poke the Luna (Xena and Ryder) novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110

Xena’s POV

As rage rocketed through my body, everything around me blurred. Ihot to my feet, my wolf taking over, and stormed toward Helen. My hand closed around her throat, lifting her before slamming her hard against the floor. My wolf turned to Ryder, eyes blazing.

“Start the DAMN Challenge. NOW!”

Without waiting for his response, my wolf dragged Helen straight out of the office, across the entire pack hall. Everyone who witnessed the scene followed, whispers and exclamations echoing behind us–Oh my god,” “That’s right“-but my wolf paid no attention, hauling her straight to the challenge arena that was always ready.

My wolf wasn’t about to wait a second longer and tossed Helen into the ring. She landed on all fours, pathetic and disoriented. I took several steps back, never taking my eyes off her.

“Xena…” Ryder’s voice came from behind me.

“Back off, Ryder,” I snarled through our mind link. Despite my fury, I maintained enough control not to create a scene by arguing in

front of everyone.

“You had meetings with Helen behind my back! You held important meetings without me! Am I supposed to be your equal partner, and this is how our relationship works? You constantly hiding things from me? I will not live like this!”

I turned to face him, letting him see the raw hurt in my eyes. He took a step toward me, but I stepped back, refusing his comfort. Ryder’s expression hardened, and he turned toward Alpha Benedict who stood with his arms crossed, glaring at his son. Just then, my family arrived.

“What’s going on with X?” Logan asked.

Ryder shook his head and walked past him.

Logan opened his palms as he approached me. “X?”

“I’m going to kill her,” I growled through clenched teeth.

Logan positioned himself in front of me, placing his hands on my shoulders. “Deep breath.” He inhaled deeply, motioning for me to follow. “X… don’t do this.”

I saw William intercepting Ryder as he tried to approach. I shifted my focus back to Logan and finally relented. With each deep breath, my wolf retreated, letting me regain control.

“I’m fine now,” I said after a moment.

“What happened?”

“Ryder didn’t tell me about the meeting with Helen! He just wants to keep me in the dark about everything. Then I walk into his office and find him in a private meeting with that bitch. She also told me she knows what Ryder likes in bed. All my hurt spilled out at once, the pain raw in my chest.

Logan nodded. His detached reaction suggested he didn’t think this was a big deal. “You know he has to have meetings with different people…”

“Not her!” I glared at him.

Then you need to talk to him about it, tell him how you feel, and come to an understanding. X, I don’t know Ryder that well, but I know he loves you. He wouldn’t hurt you Intentionally.”

“Whose side are you on? You should be punching him in the face for me! My voice rose with accusation.

Xena, listen to me. Every now mated pair, especially those with status, needs time to adjust. Did you honestly think everything would be perfect the moment you came here? Logan’s words struck ke lightning, bringing me back to reality.

My gaze drifted to Ryder. He stood with his arms crossed, staring intently at me.

I looked toward the distant trees. After a moment, I sighed deeply. es… Martha that I didn’t think about any of this.”

William and Alpha Benedict blocked his path.

ho… I don’t know. I was so focused on getting away from

“You’re the smartest person I know, but when it comes to relationships, you’re as clueless as the rest of us.”

I didn’t answer, still looking into the distance.
