The Wolf King's Luna novel Chapter 52

DAMON.

When did she get six guards in here?

I thought she only came with two.

How come I wasn't told about this?

"Wrong thing to be focused on," my wolf remarks.

Right, of course.

Angry wolf mob.

Got it.

"Who are you?" Mason asks her.

"The Falcon," she answered.

"The Falcon is dead."

"As you can see, I am not."

"She is The Falcon," Craig confirms.

"Prove it. Tell me something that is going to happen to me."

"Really?" she asks. "Is that what you want? For me to tell you about your future? Are you sure you can handle it?"

Mason looks unnerved by the question. He probably thought she would balk at the challenge.

The joke's on him.

"I am sure."

She smiles at him before walking up to the gate, joining my mother.

"I can assure you of this. Only once, would you enter these grounds, and it will be on the last day of the next month. Not a day sooner and not a day after."

"What kind of prophecy is that?" he snaps.

"Not a prophecy. It is a done deal. I have seen it. So do yourself a favor, go home, before you lose any shred of dignity you have left."

"Not without our women," someone shouts from the crowd.

"Your women are dead!" she snaps. "And if you don't start taking better care of your security, you will lose even more people. Leave this place."

The last sentence is said with so much animosity and anger it makes me do a double-take.

"How are we going to get their bodies back?" another Alpha asks.

"They will be delivered at the central morgue," I answer. "Pick them up there."

It takes a while but the crowd soon disperses and my gate is free once again.

"Whew! That was close," Monroe says.

"I am already exhausted," Tobias adds.

I walk up to The Falcon and say, "That was a reckless thing to do, exposing yourself like that, but then again, you must already know that. If The Collector didn't know you were alive before he certainly knows now."

"It is about time I stopped hiding anyway."

"If you say so." I then turn to my mother and take her into a tight hug. "Thank you, Mom, that was a really brave thing to do," I say.

"You might be a big scary Alpha now, but to me, you will always be my little cub," she replies.

"A little cub that can lift you off your feet without sweat," I say before doing exactly that.

I twirl her around, ignoring her cries to be put down until she pinches me.

"Ouch. Mother," I exclaim.

"Serves you right. Come on, let's all go in now, your mate was beside herself with worry. I had to threaten her that I would tie her up if she didn't stay put."

"You have a mate?" Vance asks, making us all freeze.

Oh shit.

I had forgotten he was still here.

Mother looks at me in apology, clearly not registering his presence too.

"Yes, I do."

"Congratulations. Why haven't you announced it yet?"
