Don't Poke the Luna (Xena and Ryder) novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255

Xena’s POV

Long enough. Wiley walked closer to me, his presence making my skin crawl. “Long enough to know every weakness, every routine, every blind spot in your precious pack’s defenses,

Tatum’s grip on my arm tightened as I instinctively tried to step away from Wiley. “You see, Xena, this isn’t just about revenge anymore. This is about the future. About evolution.”

“Evolution?” I spat. “You mean genocide.”

“I mean progress.” Wiley’s eyes gleamed with fanatical fervor. The old ways are dying. Pack territories, traditional leadership, the moon god–all of it is obsolete. The future belongs to those who embrace technology, who use science to

enhance what nature gave us.”

“You’re insane.”

“Am I?” He gestured around the room. “While your precious pack relies on ancient rituals and territorial disputes, we’ve created an army. We’ve weaponized the very air you breathe, the water you drink. We can kill from miles away without ever setting foot on your land.”

Let the real show begin,” Alpha Wiley said as he stepped out the door and walked deeper into the hallway.

From the expressions on their faces, I wasn’t going to like what was about to happen. The hallway was dark, but I could hear footsteps coming from down the corridor that sounded more urgent than I wanted to hear. I expected to hear screaming or shouting, but there was nothing.

Tatum opened the door, and Alpha Wiley put his finger to his lips, signaling for me to stay quiet. The room was pitch black except for a single chair positioned in the center.

“Alpha Wiley, you wanted to see me?” an unfamiliar male voice called out.

“Yes, Roderick. Please come in. I believe you know our guest,” Alpha Wiley replied casually.

There was a heavy thud before the lights came on. William was thrown to the ground, landing face up. “Actually, you might not know this young lady, Xena. Let me introduce you, after all, she’s your Luna now.” Alpha Wiley grabbed my hair and yanked me into the light..

My heart pounded wildly as fear and rage battled in my chest. His rough grip made my scalp burn, but I forced myself to stay calm and not make any unnecessary movements that might provoke him further.

I looked at the bearded man in front of me and recognized him as Tom. After a brief moment of eye contact, I looked

away,

Tom stood before me, maintaining a calm expression throughout. “I don’t know these people,” he said in a confused tone.

Alpha Wiley nodded to his warriors, who grabbed/Tom and dragged him to the chair. It was an electric chair, and the warriors violently tore at Tom’s clothes, connecting electrodes to his nipples, his head, and his dick. “I was hoping this would go smoothly.”

My heart sank. Though I had considered this possibility before, still couldn’t accept the reality that Alpha Wiley was

much smarter than we had imagined.

“What are you doing?” Tom shouted in panic.

Roderick…” Alpha Wiley began.

“Dad… don’t forget his real name,” Tatum said. He was standing behind me. I hadn’t even realized he was there, so when he spoke, I jumped. Tatum looked down at me and smiled. His find grabbed my ass, pulling me toward him. “Don’t worry, baby. This will be over soon, and I’ll comfort you,” he whispered in my ear.

His touch made me sick to my stomach. I closed my eyes, fighting the urge to hit him.

When he pressed a light kiss to my neck, my lips began to tremble, but my fists clenched tight. Anger was taking over. I could feel his dick getting hard as he pressed himself against me from behind, grinding against me.

Una roared in my mind, and just as my patience reached its limit, Alpha Wiley’s sharp rebuke cut through the air. “Dumbass, don’t act like a dog in heat.”
