Werewolf Compilations novel Chapter 100

After wandering around for nearly an hour, I ran into the border and told a guard that I had gotten lost. After convincing him that James is my Mate, he led me back to the pack house. Now we wait standing at the door for someone to answer. Thankfully, Gail opens up and looks at me, then the guard. "What are you doing back so soon? I thought Theodore was taking you on a tour around the pack grounds?"

Before I can speak, the guard asks authoritatively, "You confirm that this young lady is mated to Alpha Grant?"

Gail pulls me in. "Yes, she is. You can go now. Come on."

She shuts the door and I drift into the kitchen where Theresa is. Gail follows behind me. "You're back early," Theresa comments. "Where's Theodore?"

"I left him."

Gail places her hands on her hips. "What do you mean you left him?"

"I ran from him after making his sister cry," I say and sit myself down on a stool. "I got lost. That's why a guard had to bring me back."

"You made his sister cry?"

I sigh and turn to face them. "His sister was James'...lover. I just wanted to talk to her, but she started yelling at me, saying she loved him, that I took him away from her and shouted for me to leave, so I did. I don't know. I panicked."

"Now why would you go and talk to her in the first place?" Gail asks, walking around the counter.

Is it wrong for me to crave something I thought I could never have?

I reach for Julianna's diary but promptly remember that I had finished it. I'll have to grab the next year's from the blocked-off room, but I'll ask James first this time.

Now that I know of Julianna's end, I read more carefully, pointing out the signs and convincing myself that I don't act the same way. I'm waiting for the entry where she talks of James' conception. I'm waiting for her to sound truly happy.

Wishing I had gone on the tour with Theodore, I leave my bedroom, looking for some form of entertainment. At least he would have distracted me for a few hours with training grounds and meeting people and housing. That sounds better than laying in my bed until another chance at establishing a position comes to me. If I'm going to be mated to an Alpha, I may as well have people know me as their Luna. I'm tired of guards doubting me. Maybe I'll tell James to spread the word that he's found his mate. It's time.
