Emerald Eyed Luna novel Nina (by Mrs.Smith) novel Chapter 14

The three bandits’ are a group of rogues you can call upon when you want to eliminate a target but don’t want to get your hands dirty. Most Alphas want to eliminate them ourselves since they cause so much destruction in their way, but nothing has been done about them because there is no proof left behind that they are the ones that did it.

They have never been caught to even integrate. The fact that you guys even saw them before they attacked and lived to tell the tale is impressive.” Alpha Alex finished staring straight at us. We were seated around the kitchen table waiting for supper and Alpha Alex wasted no time in telling us what was happening.

“I have never heard of them, but I guess I haven’t been part of any pack business before.” I stated, trying to rack my brains if my dad ever said anything about them. I remember, like maybe 5 years ago, dad coming home and saying something about 3 rouges on a killing spree, but I didn’t think much of it. Maybe I should have paid more attention.

“What are your ranks in the pack? You seem young but capable?” Luna Laura asked quietly.

Glancing over to Zach I hesitated for a second before answering, “My father was Beta Ben and my mother was a warrior. I have been trained to fight since the age of 5. This is Zach, who is also a warrior.”

“Was?” Alpha Alex asked. Damn, he caught that

I started fidgeting in my seat, I did not want to talk about this, “1, um, see there was a rouge attack a week or so ago and both my parents were killed, leaving me alone the day after I turned 18. 1 decided some traveling would do me some good so Zach, being a good friend, decided to tag along so I wouldn’t be alone.” I said, avoiding eye contact.

“But that’s not the whole truth, is it?” Alpha Alex asked, lifting an eyebrow at me. “I can tell when people are lying.”

“I can do that too, but I am not lying. I would rather not talk about my love life though.”

“And you don’t have to!” Luna Laura said, giving Alpha Alex a look. I gave her a silent thank you nod.

“I won’t have people in my pack that are keeping secrets, Laura!”

“Fine, I found out that my boyfriend of years was the mate to my best friend and then a couple of hours later the rouges attacked, so I lost my boyfriend, best friend and parents in the matter of hours. So, excuse me if I don’t feel like sharing my personal life with people who I don’t know” I stated, angrily with my eyes shining a brilliant emerald green and I was griping the table. Taking a deep breath, I rained in my anger and retracted my claws that slipped out.

“Interesting, well I do apologize for bringing up bad memories and for the loss of your parents That must be very hard for you” Alpha Alex said softly

“I rather just move on please.”

“Given that you have eliminated the bandits, I will give you the benefit of the doubt for disrespect towards my table. I will allow you two to stay the night and let you go in the morning. I will see my omegas give you each a room to sleep in. Zach, if you would please go with my beta to retrieve your vehicle, then you can take off in it, in the morning.”

I knew we really didn’t have a choice, so I said thank you and watched Zach leave with Beta Al and Alpha Alex left to go to his office. Luna Laura stayed behind and was giving me a motherly look.

“I am sorry about his abrasiveness. We are working on that …” Luna Laura said quietly “I do want to extend our condolences to your recent events. May I ask you a question?”

“Thank you, of course you can.”

“Where did you get that ring?”

Frowning, I absent mindlessly twirling it around my finger with was on top of the table. It was an annoying habit of mine. “It was a gift from my mother on my 16th birthday.

She got it from a woman that was selling things on the side of the street. She said she makes jewelry and my mom got it because it matched my eyes.”

“Hmm, did your mother tell you who the woman was?”

“I don’t have a necklace” I said, confused.

“Actually, before my mother died, she told me of a young woman who would need information and guidance. She would have a known pain but seeking a better future. A girl with emerald green eyes to match the stone. I believe she was talking about you” Pulling out a bag, she slipped the necklace out and put it in my hand

It was a single emerald stone in a circle with a silver band around it with a vine pattern on the sides. It was connected to a dainty chair and would make an emerald land at the base of my throat between my collar bones.

“So, what do they do?” | asked quietly. I just felt like I was connected to them somehow.

“Unfortunately, it doesn’t say and my mom said that you will know when the time is right. I do have a filling. You know what the ring does though” she said, with a hint of amusement.

“..” I struggled to think of what it could be. ‘We are not affected by the Alpha’s aura’ Raven finally said after being quiet this whole time. “I am not affected by an Alpha’s aura;

I do not have to follow command if I do not want to” I stated questionably. Is that it?

“Hmm, I feel like that is correct. I am not sure what or why that will be needed, but if my mom made it so, then it must be important. The necklace will show you its ability in time.

It is getting late. Let me show you to your room, supper will be brought up to you and Zach”

“, Luna Laura said in a tone

that left me knowing my questions were over. Although we knew she couldn’t command me to do anything, I would not be intentionally disrespectful. I followed her to the 2nd floor and to my room.
