The Wolf King's Luna novel Chapter 39

DAMON

"What the hell guys?!" I snap.

It was a good morning!

A wonderful, beautiful morning.

And they ruined it.

I can't help the growl that rips out of me at their backs.

They had turned around in haste once they realized what was going on.

But it was too late, they ruined my morning.

"You lot better have a good reason for barging in here," I growl out.

"Sorry, Alpha!"

"We knocked!"

"We didn't see anything Alpha!"

That is a lie.

If they didn't see anything why are they fidgeting like that?

Another growl rips out of me causing them to jump in their spots.

And then a chuckle. 

It takes me a few seconds to figure out where it came from.

I turn around to see Cathy holding her hands tightly to her mouth, her eyes brimming with barely repressed mirth.

"Cat-"

She bursts out laughing, cackling and gasping for breath as she collapses on the bed.

What is funny? There is nothing about this situation that is funny.

My pants are hurting me for goddess's sake!

"I am- I am sorry," she gasps out between guffaws. "I am. It's just- your face… and their faces… it is-"

She collapses into another bout of laughter, grabbing at her stomach as she struggles to catch her breath.

Her mirth is enough to calm me down.

Turning back to the three mood killers, I tell them, "Go wait for me in the study. I will be there shortly."

"Yes Alpha," they chorus as they rush out.

Groaning, I fall back to the bed and kick my feet like a kid.

It was a good morning.

"You should have a shower before going to them," Cathy says. 

"A cold one," I grumble as I turn to look at her."Do you want to join me?" I tease.

"What?! No. Go away."

"You go have your bath first," I tell her as I turn into the bed.

"Me? They are waiting for you."

"We will go there together. As my mate and future Luna, you are allowed to be in all our meetings."

"Really?"

"Yeah, so go have your bath."

"Okay," she says as she gets off the bed and heads to the bathroom with a spring in her steps.

"Are you sure you don't want to shower together with me?" I call out.

I receive a slammed door in response, making me chuckle.

We both walk into the study to see the mood killers in a heated discussion.

They, of course, come to a halt once we walk in.

"So, what was so urgent that you couldn't wait to tell me and just had to barge into my room and ruin my morning?" I snarl at them.

I feel a pinch on my wrist and turn to see Cathy giving me a look.

She had asked me to let them off the hook and I had reluctantly agreed.

This is me letting them off, if not I would have assigned each of them patrol duty for a whole month. No breaks.

See how they like it.

"Again," Ryder speaks up. "We are so sorry about that."
