Emerald Eyed Luna novel Nina (by Mrs.Smith) novel Chapter 90

Hours later, everyone had arrived back at Reed’s pack and was working hard to provide everyone with shelter for the foreseeable future. “I have Maverick working on a list that shows who has found their mates and Johnnie is working on writing down all the names of the woman and children that are here and what packs they are from. I have emails from the other Alpha’s who have done the same and are sending me a list of all the women and what packs they are from.” Reed said as he sat back in his office chair. Kelly had just left the room from making sure he was okay before she kept with her task of helping everyone get settled. Her Luna skills were perfection.

“That’s good. Devin and the other prisoners are in the cells for interrogation. We need to address them tomorrow. I have a feeling this cannot be pushed off. Since we have officially taken down the council, we need to hold a ceremony naming Nina queen so she can start handing out punishments. The sooner this is done, the faster we can get to a new normal.”

Reed nodded his head in agreement. Raven was ignoring the guys as Nina had finally woken up.

“My head hurts” Nina said to Raven.

“I expect so.” Raven chuckled and preceded to fill Nina in on what happened.

“Raven?” Wyatt said as she looked up and saw both boys looking at her. Closing her eyes and opening them a few seconds later, they went back to their normal color.

“I’m back” Nina said, rubbing her temples. “That was crazy.”

Wyatt jumped up and ran over to hug Nina. “I was so worried. Are you okay?” Wyatt released her and grabbed her face with his hands, looking into her eyes to make sure himself.

“ Yeah, I just have a headache.” Wyatt nodded and let her sit back down. He grabbed her some water and they waited for her to get comfortable before they proceeded. “I think Wyatt is right. We need to move quickly. Raven is concerned with how that went. Something isn’t right.”

“I am pretty sure Kelly has been researching how to do the ceremony. I will ask her tonight.”

“Zach didn’t have inside information of how everything went. He was with you tonight, Reed. How did it go?” I asked. I still have a bad feeling. Usually, it goes away after the event happens, and it hasn’t.

“He was fine. I watched him all night. He acted like everyone else. Attacked full force and saved quite a few people. Your guy’s training was top notch.” Reed said, like he was actually surprised with how it went. “I am questioning him being the mole. He had the perfect opportunity to kill me and what not, but he didn’t take it.”

“I’m still torn. My heart was never on Zach, but the council knew things that happened that week that they shouldn’t unless someone talked.”

“We just need to keep our eyes open and pay attention to people,” Reed said as he was checking his computer. “Looks like everyone’s mission was successful. All buildings of trafficking have been evacuated and burned down. Over the next few days, we will continue to get people back together with their families and Nina. It would be the right thing to give back their land to them… with all due respect.”

“Already planned on it.” I said, waving off his last comment. “I will be in charge of the council’s interrogations tomorrow.” I said flatly.

Both boys looked at each other and eventually nodded. They understood my need to get things right within myself. “We will be there though”, Wyatt said after a few minutes of silence. Reed nodded in agreement.

“That’s fine. You can either help or stay out of my way,” I said. I pulled out a piece of paper from the printer from Reed’s desk and grabbed a pen. I wrote a list of supplies I would need and handed it to Reed. He looked at in confused for a second before the lightbulb went off in his head. All he did was look at me with compassion and a hint of anger.

“Understood” is all he said about it.

“We need to get to bed. Tomorrow will be a long day.” Wyatt said, and I stood to leave.

“Wyatt, can you hold back a minute?”

“Ye…” Wyatt started.

“Why can’t you say it to me?” I asked, instantly annoyed.

Reed simply looked at me and, without missing a beat, “This is a surprise for you, and we have been working on it for a while now and I would rather not ruin it yet.”

I was shocked. I could tell he was telling me the truth, “When have you had any time to plan anything?”

Wyatt smiled and came up to me, putting his hands on my shoulders. “You may be the queen, but I will be king. If I want to surprise you, I will. I am a man of many talents, so please, don’t fall asleep till I get there?”

Rolling my eyes, I turned around and walked out, glaring at them. Muttering under my breath how surprises are stupid and if I can’t have them now, then I shouldn’t know about it. I will need to do my own recon on it. I must know!

I was just climbing into bed about 30 minutes later when Wyatt walked through the bedroom door. He was smiling and was in a good mood, but I just scowled at him. “Come on, Nina! Don’t be that way!” He laughed.

“I hate surprises if I don’t get them right away!” I said stubbornly.

“You will love this one and in about a week or so, you will know what it is. I am waiting till I can show you what it is.” Wyatt slipped into the bathroom and was getting ready for bed.

“Some people talk to other people; some people wake up and choose violence. Today, I chose violence, and I am happy to get my payback and be at ease after.” I said with full confidence as we entered the kitchen.

Brooke and Zach were leaving as we came in. They each said hi to us and continued out. Reed and Kelly were sitting at the table in conversation. “Go sit down and I’ll bring you something to eat”, Wyatt said, shaking his head.

“Is this seat taken?” I asked, causing Kelly to stop making out with Reed and her cheeks got bright red.

“No, it’s all yours!” Reed said, smiling.

“How is everything this morning?” I asked vaguely.

“Everyone is accounted for. 23 new mated pairs that are set up for therapy. We have a list of what packs they were from and locations. I will compare them from the other list and set up the map while you guys are doing interrogations. Most people have eaten already this morning and other than a few random issues, everyone is getting alone nicely.” Kelly said as she tried to make sure she thought of everything.

“Perfect!” I said as Wyatt sat a plate in front of me. He gave me scrambled eggs, a sausage, toast and some fruit. Although my appetite was getting better, I still ate smaller portions.

“Oh, and Grant is stable. He is in a coma for the moment, but he will make a full recovery. I have also had the documents of what the ceremony will need to have for you guys to officially take power. I have already got the calls out to the proper channels, and they should be here in a few days.” Kelly said, remembering the last little bit of it.

I took a bite of sausage and nodded. I am not sure what she meant by that. “Who will be here?”

“Oh, there is a high-archy in France that is in charge of these ceremonies. They have all the requirements and things needed for this. They will serve as advisors from afar, from what I understand. In Europe, they didn’t recognize our councilmen as authority figures but kept the same rules and punishments that were held out by the last king and queen as a corporation, so now, they are handing over all the responsibilities and tasks. They were quite happy to do so…” Kelly said as she scrunched up her face.

“Awesome” I said flatly as I continued to eat. The rest of the meal was in silence. Kelly and Reed were having their own conversation that Wyatt and I tried to give them their privacy and not listen in to.

‘You ready?’ Wyatt asked me via mind-link.

‘Yeah, let’s go.’ I said as I was just pushing the rest of the egg around. “Ready?” I asked Reed.

He looked at me and nodded before giving Kelly a quick kiss. We placed our plates in the sink and made our way to the cells.
