She's the luna I want novel Chapter 7

JACE.

I was in my office with Tyler and Austin. It was Saturday morning, and we never had a concrete schedule to follow on weekends, but we all showed up at my office early today and decided to catch up with each other’s weeks while waiting for breakfast.

Austin was still blabbering about where he was last night. We were all twenty years old now, but he was the only one with uncontrollable hormones. He kept looking for his mate, but couldn’t help picking up females to fuck along the way.

Tyler had been giving me the look the whole time. He had always wanted to snap Austin out of his man-whoring ways. But we never interfered. Austin had never neglected his duty and had never faked a relationship to get laid.

He fucks and goes. He only took females that had the same way of thinking as him.

And it never bothered me at all, as long as he would not bring a female home.

I had only set two rules for us when it comes to females: no playing around with females of our pack, and never bringing a female home just for a one-night stand.

And so far, since none of us were in a relationship, no one has brought a female home yet.

Austin’s story was cut off when the door flung open and crashed against the wall, and Catherine stepped in, walking straight towards the center of my office with a dark expression on her face.

"The heck, Cathy. Have you heard of knocking?" I snarled at her.

"What did you do to Amara?" She asked instead of answering.

"What? I’ve been here the whole morning, and I haven’t seen her yet." I told her. My forehead creased, but my heart began beating erratically. "Is she okay?"

"She left."

"And how is that my fault?" I scoffed.

"After you found her in the basement, she was not in the mood to talk and hang out and refused to say anything. She went off to bed without dinner. And now she’s gone."

I didn’t know that she didn’t attend dinner, as I skipped dinner at home and ate with the warriors at the warriors’ cafeteria to avoid her.

I shrugged my shoulders and leaned back on my chair. "She had probably gone back to the dormitory."

"She didn’t. I just got off the phone with Cassie, and she’s not there. And she’s not answering my call."

"I just mindlinked someone from the border," Austin spoke, and all heads turned to him. "She left around two o’clock in the morning."

"Two o’clock!" I growled, and Catherine’s body jolted up in surprise, but she didn’t say anything. "And why the fuck did they let her go?"

"Amara has an Alpha aura, Jace. I’m sure they didn’t allow it, but she has her way of making them follow her." Tyler explained, and it made sense. I had known Amara for breaking rules and curfew using her Alpha command.

"And nobody informed us?" I asked.

"Relax, Alpha. Students come and go, so I’m sure they didn’t think we needed to be informed."

"I thought this was part of our security protocol? You need to fucking talk with your men at the border, Austin. Amara is a minor, and I don’t fucking care if she’s an Alpha or not. They are not allowed to let a minor studying at the academy out of the territory at midnight! And alone!"

Austin nodded his head.

"If something happens to them, it will be on us. And if something happened to Amara, I won’t go easy on the one that let her pass."

"Copied, Alpha."

"Make sure you discuss this thoroughly with them. And if these fucking Alphas used command on them, they at least have to let us know." I was referring now to all the young Alphas studying at the academy.

"So what are we going to do with Amara?" Catherine broke the tension in the room.

"I’ll call Uncle Aeon," I answered with a voice devoid of any emotions.

I was about to pick up the phone when a sweet voice came from the door, and all heads snapped to where the voice was coming from.

"Hi. Breakfast is ready." Davina, my thirteen-year-old cousin and Austin’s only sister was standing by the door, smiling widely as she shifted her gaze back and forth to all of us.

I wanted to smile back, but my head was already spinning with all the negative thoughts in it. If something happened to Amara, I don’t think I could forgive myself.

"You can all go ahead and eat. I’ll call Blood Moon Pack first and check on Amara."

-----------

AMARA.

The music blasted out from the radio of my car as I drove on the highway with my windows open. I let the wind blow through my sandy blonde hair as I basked in the warmth of the morning sun.

I left the Black Shadow Pack territory at dawn, and after almost six hours of driving, I was already inside our territory, the Blood Moon Pack, and heading for the packhouse.

I left Jace’s packhouse in the middle of the night, and I didn’t even leave a message to Catherine that I was leaving.
