The Wolf King's Luna novel Chapter 42

DAMON.

"What the hell do you mean by that?!" I demand from both Mel and Faye.

I had looked for them all over the place only to find them hiding in one of the gazebos scattered around the pack.

I was going to give them time to finish their discussion privately, hell, I was even turning away already.

That is until I heard Mel's last statement.

"...of all the wolves that could have been your mate, how do you end up with one from the Skylight pack?"

Faye found her mate.

Good news.

He is from the Skylight pack.

Again, what the actual fuck?

"Damon, let's try and be ca-"

"When did you find out about this?" I demand from Faye, interrupting Mel. 

"The last time I was in the Skylight's pack, Alpha."

"What happened to you? You are soaked."

"I uh, dived into the river."

"Why?"

"Um, it is not important. I have news."

The conversation replays itself in my head with startling clarity.

"That day… you were wet. It was because of this mate, right?" I ask.

"Yes, Alpha. I was flustered at his appearance and I jumped into the river to avoid him."

"And how long have you known about this?" I ask, turning to Mel.

"Uh, she told me about it the day the Falcon arrived. Well, more like I had to pry it out of her."

This is… a mess.

"How did you feel about this?" I ask Faye.

"Honestly, Alpha, I am a little torn. He seems like a nice man."

"You have spoken to him already?"

"He came to find me?"

"He came? Into our pack?"

"No! No. He waited at the border. He tracked my scent here and waited."

"I see. What do you plan on doing now? Do you want to leave with him?"

"No! I could never leave the pack, much less for the Skylight pack."

"So, he is going to have to come here," I say.

"We haven't discussed it. But he seemed just as devoted to his pack as I am."

"That is… disturbing, considering all we know about his pack," I reply.

"That is the issue. It seems the only people who don't know how the Skylight pack is seen are the Skylight members. When I told him why I didn't like the pack he didn't believe me. 

"He said that those who went missing had just deserted the pack. From what I gathered, it seems to be a shared belief among the pack," she finishes.

"Huh, this is… interesting," Mel says. "It is an opportunity that can be explored."

It certainly is.

"Explored?" Faye asks.

"Let's leave that for now," I say, not willing to share the thoughts that have begun formulating in my head.

"The Falcon wants to talk about war. Find Ryder and come to the study," I order before turning around to leave them.
