The Eclipsed Life of Luna Mischa (by Jennifer Francis) novel Chapter 67

+25 Points

Mischa took in Christy’s stance and turned to walk away. It appeared that Christy wasn’t going to take the card and dig herself a deeper hole in which she couldn’t climb out of. But then as she took that first step away from Christy, Laud repeated something Anthony himself had said today, and a smile touched her face.

“Christy,” Mischa stated, and turned to put a hand on the Luna Suite’s door before it clicked closed and pushed it open once more. “What if you are actually pregnant with the pack’s… firstborn heir.” She stated using the title the pup would have, knowing Christy’s greedy narcissistic nature would want to hear what she had to say from those words.

“That would see your place inside this pack, change. You’d be the mother of the heir to the pack, not the Alpha’s Second Luna. That would actually put you before me and, well… I guess that would see your place then be the one that would reside within the Alpha Suite, would it not? Which would, in fact, see me be relegated to somewhere else forever. It would never be considered my suite again,” she stated, and held that access card out to her once more.

“Seeing as you currently believe you’re with pup, and Anthony is allowing you to sleep in the Alpha Suite, due to you wanting to have him next to you because you’re pregnant…” she waved that card at Christy once more. “Then I see no problem with you moving into the Alpha Suite, not even the pack would see anything wrong with that…” she added.

Then, as an afterthought, she turned to look at the handyman “Mel, if Christy is carrying the firstborn heir to the pack, you’d expect her to stay with Anthony, yes?” she asked him.

He looked up from his job, trowel in hand still, and she saw him think about it for a moment. I’d kind of expect him to spend like 80 to 90% of his time with either one of you that was pregnant.” He answered, keeping his answer neutral she thought, he didn’t want to get between them “A pregnant Mate is a precious thing, and their scent draws one to them to stay connected to them, to be close to the pup.” Mel nodded.

“Thank you for your candid answer. Sorry to bother you,” she stated, and turned to look at Christy, “See, no one in the pack will think you’re doing anything wrong. I’m also telling you with a witness right there, that I don’t mind if you move into the Alpha Suite. I did also state this earlier with Letti next to me for both you and Anthony to hear, so please take the card and move in,” she stated.

Mischa could see Christy was now thinking about it. It was what she wanted, but she needed an extra little push, Mischa thought. “Would you like me to announce it officially and tell the pack? That I not only give you permission, but you have my blessing as well,” Mischa asked. ” I will if you like.”

She would too. Anthony also wasn’t inside the pack to stop her from announcing it. Just a little bit of payback for him announcing their separation to the human world without discussing it with her first. What was good for one was good for the other.

She knew Christy didn’t trust her one iota and that was why she was hesitating to accept anything from Mischa. She was trying to figure out what Mischa was up to, that would see it all fall back on Christy. Mischa didn’t really care what she thought, she was going to enact her plan regardless.

It might start one hell of a fight between herself and Anthony, but what did that really matter? When it was he who truly wanted this to happen, she was just making it happen on her terms. Just like Christy did when she went out of her way to appear all innocent but was in fact forcing his hand to get her own way.

She was about to show Christy that she could do this as well. She reached out and actually took Christy’s hand in hers, placed that access card in her hand and closed her fingers over it gently. Then connected herself to the entire pack.

‘I, Luna Mischa, have an announcement to make to you all. Luna Christy is officially moving into the Alpha Suite with Alpha Anthony. I inform you of this to let you all know that I give my blessing to them, and am happy for this to happen…

‘Due to the current circumstances, that being, Luna Christy is positive she is with pup, and carrying the firstborn heir to the pack… Due to this, Anthony himself has opted to keep her close to him in his suite, because he also believes an heir is on the way as Christy states

there is…

‘Smile and congratulate them when in passing on the soon–to–be–birthed heir to the pack. Thank you all, and sorry if I interrupted your evening.‘ She stated with a full smile and dropped the mind–link to smile at Christy, “There you are, all done. You may move into the Alpha Suite. “She’d paused her words for impact, just like Christy did.

Mischa could see the anger practically radiating off of Christy now. Yes, she’d given her blessing and with a full happy smile at that, but if Christy wasn’t with pup, well, it would show this pack she’d convinced Anthony of that very thing without any proof, yet again, he’d believed her before he should.

“You’re a real fucking bitch aren’t you, Mischa.” Christy grated out.

”

Mischa heard Mel gasp at the words Christy had spoken, but just continued to smile at her. Come on Christy, you gotta up your game…” she chuckled a little. “I’ve got 20 years on you, I’ve seen it all before, the games you play…” she shook her head “I also recall warning you how I would play the game if you didn’t change your ways. It’s not my fault you didn’t listen or learn from your formal punishment,” she stated.

Then she turned and walked away, her planning had evolved from her prior thoughts into something new; if that she–wolf wanted to eclipse her life completely, then she would help her. Let’s just see how fast Mischa could make it happen. The sooner Anthony rejected her, the better.

She had the right to reject him, but she actually wanted now to see him be the one to issue it, and just what it would take for him to do so. For him to show the pack that he only wanted Christy. That all Christy’s plotting and planning was, in fact, to have Anthony rid her from this pack himself, and only see Christy be at his side as his one and only Luna.

She walked down to her office and pulled up the security footage from that morning and copied a section of it; of Anthony and Christy coming out of the Alpha Suite together, of Christy ducking back into it, using that access card to do so with him right there as proof he was letting her be in there, and had access to it.

She smiled to herself, as she accessed her e–mail and uploaded that video as proof of them being happy coming from the Alpha Suite. She hit the pack–wide e–mail button, so she could send it to the entire pack to see. Then right as she hit the send button, his unit walked into her office.

All three of their phones chimed at once, and she smiled at them as they all stopped walking because her own phone chimed as well. It was indicative of a pack–wide communication being sent out. They all knew that.

“What did you do?” Kendrick asked her.

“Exactly what Christy does, only I’m… better at it than she is.” She chuckled softly and leaned back in her chair, she could have taken it much further and sent the entire footage, of his words and guilty expression, Christy’s faked reaction to seeing her and Letti in the hall, but she’d not done that. Had held herself back, she thought.

“Your announcement?” Kendrick murmured. “Anthony wouldn’t have approved of that, and you know it.”

She nodded, she did know it, had used him not being in the pack to her own advantage. “Just like he announced to the human world, our marriage separation, huh.” She commented with a shrug, “You should check your e–mail Kendrick,” she snorted, fully amused. “I made sure, just like Christy did, that everyone saw what was needed to have his hand forced to admit he wants Christy in the Alpha Suite.

“Just like she did, turning up at his head office and having the press see them together and him having to state she wasn’t a mistress, we were separated, so she could be seen on his arm all the time… There was no consideration of how I felt and well… after today, why should I have any consideration of how he feels.”

She watched Kendrick sigh and shake his head as if exasperated by all that went on between his Alpha and Luna, and she wondered how hard it was to be loyal to both of them during this war that was building between them.

“You’re pushing him to reject you then?” Kendrick asked.

She said nothing to that, didn’t need to, she had explained herself clearly earlier, she thought. She watched him open his e–mail and look at what she’d sent out, knowing Anthony would get it himself later when he got back to the pack, and he probably needed to be prepared for the fallout.

“It’s now clear for all the pack to see, just like it was for all those in the human world to see. I’m officially separated from Anthony, not only out there, but here as well.” She smiled at him.

“You’re happy about this, I see,” Kendrick muttered.

“Mm, I do feel pretty good right now, and I’ve not yet even checked the rest of the week’s footage to see how many nights Christy spent in the Alpha Suite after her heat was over. But I’m guessing from Anthony’s own words to me, right after that bit of footage you just watched, she never actually left it at all. Resides in there now just like she did prior to her and his punishment.”

“She did not,” Paul stated. “I personally heard her pleading with him about being in there and him giving in to her two days ago.”

“Paul!” Kendrick muttered. “Don’t incite her further.”

“I’m not, I’m just answering her question, as her Gamma. I understand her. She was going to look it up. What do you think she’ll do with that footage?” Paul stated and held his phone up with that e–mail right there. “I’m preventing that by just telling her what she wants to know.”

She nodded at Kendrick’s annoyed look, but it was Dereck that spoke, “This is a bloody nightmare, managing the three of you.”

“I imagine it is. Well for you and Anthony… Oh, by the way, I also gave Christy exactly what she wants: her own access card for the Alpha Suite and told her myself to move into it. I’ll be sending omegas up to help her with the move after dinner.”

All eyes were on her now “Mischa! Are you trying to start a full in–house war?” Kendrick

huffed at her.

“Oh come on, Kendrick, she started the war months ago and got punished for doing so. I’ve just decided to step up and participate in it, is all. Leave it alone and just let it happen.” She watched as Dereck and Kendrick walked from her office completely exasperated by her.
