The Wolf King's Luna novel Chapter 29

CATHERINE.

I wake up with a slow yawn.

Waking up in silk sheets, and feather-down pillows is like heaven considering the way I have slept these past few days.

Up straight, bound, and gagged.

I scan the room and notice that I am alone.

I didn't even notice when I fell asleep.

I remember talking to both Damon and Melissa about the Skylight pack,

They asked about my life there, the experiences I went through, if there were others similar to my experience, how many people had gone missing, and so on.

At first, the questions were focused on me and my welfare but then they moved to the whole pack in general, like they were fishing for ammunition to use against them.

But that is silly, right?

Why would Damin want to attack the Skylight pack? They are nothing to him.

I get up from bed and head to the shower.

Oh.

Sweet, glorious shower.

It is divine.

Feeling filthy with sweat, dirt and dried blood sure knows how to change one's perspective.

In case you are wondering, I have no desire to leave the Blackwater pack.

I had promised Damon that I would give him a chance and that is what I will do.

After spending about an hour in the bathroom, I come out with clean, sweet-smelling, pruned-looking skin.

"What did you think was going to happen after spending so much time soaking in hot water?" my wolf snarks.

"It looks like you are dealing better," I retort. "since you are already teasing me."

"Oh do shut up."

I dress up in a mosaic-patterned, free-flowing gown that is fitted at my upper half and cinched at the waist.

Melissa picked it up when we went shopping and I didn't have the time to appreciate it.

It is beautiful.

I pair it with a pair of silver strappy sandals while leaving my hair down to naturally dry before I walk out of the room.

And run straight into Ryder.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't see you there" I apologize as I massage my head.

"It is okayLuna. Did you have a nice rest?" he asks.

"Yeah, I did." I look up at him and notice that he seems to have been here for a while. "What are you doing at the door?" I ask.

"Um, nothing."

I stare at him with what I call my dead goldfish share and he caves.

"We never caught the main person behind your kidnapping. Alpha thinks he might come for you. We are to take turns guarding your door. And… windows."

"windows?"

"Yes, Luna."

"Please don't call me that. It feels… uncomfortable."

"Luna?"

"Yes, that."

"But you are our Luna. You are Damon's mate."

"Yes, I am aware. But still, please."

"Very well, what would you like me to call you?" he asks.

"Catherine is fine. Or Cat."

"Are you trying to kill me?"

"What?" I am confused

"Damon is still sulky, about not getting to call you Cat like Luna Diana. Once he hears me calling you that, I am dead. He will work me to the line until I choose death."

"Now you are just being dramatic, " I say with a laugh.
