From Rejected Mate to Luna (Julia White) novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108

“Oh…okay,” she replied.

“I’ll arrange for Olivia or another female pack member to come stay

with you if you’d like.”

There was a pause. “What’s happening with Nathan now?” she asked.

“He’s being held in our secure facility,” I said, leaning slightly against

the door frame. “Four of our strongest warriors are watching him in

shifts. I need to arrange a formal meeting with the Star Shadow pack

to discuss what happens next.”

“Will he…can he still reach me through the mindlink?”

The fear in her voice made my jaw clench. “We’ve given him a mild

sedative that should make it difficult for him to focus enough for

that. Your safety is my priority, Julia.”

“Thank you,” she said softly. “For last night. For coming when you

did.”

I heard the bathroom door handle turn slightly, and my heart rate

accelerated. I stepped back quickly.

“No need to thank me. It’s my responsibility.” I took another step

back. “I should go. You need…privacy. I’ll check on you later.”

The door handle continued to turn, and panic surged through me.

“Goodbye,” I said hastily, then turned and strode quickly to the exit. I

pulled the door open and nearly collided with Jason standing in the

hallway.

His eyes widened in surprise. “Alpha,” he said, straightening

immediately. “I didn’t expect to see you here so early.”

“I was checking on Julia and briefing her about Nathan’s situation,” I

said, my voice automatically shifting to my professional Alpha tone.

“Continue your guard duty and inform James that I need him to

prepare for a video conference with Star Shadow pack.”

Without waiting for his response, I continued down the hallway

toward my office, my mind sorting through the tasks ahead. This was

safer territory–pack politics and security–not the confusing tangle

of emotions I’d been experiencing in Julia’s room.

James was already waiting when I entered my office. He stood by the

window, looking tired but alert, a cup of coffee in his hand.

“How is she?” he asked immediately.

“Safe. Shaken, but she’ll recover with time,” I replied, moving to my

desk.

“And Nathan?”

I sank into my chair, running a hand through my hair. “Still in the

holding cell?”

James nodded. “The strongest security we have. Silver–reinforced cell,

four of our best warriors rotating shifts.” He paused. “He’s been quiet.

Won’t talk to anyone except to demand an audience with you.”

I rubbed my temples, feeling the weight of the situation. “This is a

diplomatic nightmare, James. Alpha Reynolds‘ son captured in our

territory…”

“After violating multiple wolf laws,” James countered. “Attacking

another pack, drugging himself to mask his abilities, attempting to

force a mark on his mate-”

“I know,” I interrupted. “But Star Shadow pack may not see it that

way. Not at first.”

I turned to the laptop on my desk and opened a folder of evidence

Ryan had extracted from Julia’s damaged phone. “We have some of
