The Heartless Alpha's Beloved Luna Novel

Chapter 241 "I need to finish brewing it first," I said sweetly, smiling at him. We regarded each other warily. "How can I be of service?" Gideon said finally, his tone just a touch too affected, "I wouldn't expect to see you for another three weeks." At first I didn't catch his meaning, then I realized he was referring to the next Full Mating moon and blushed. "I don't require your services in that way," I said primly, "The quality wasn't quite up to my standards." A dangerous gleam appeared in his eye, and he rose and walked closer to me. I backed up until his desk was at my back.

"What exactly wasn't pleasing to you?" he asked in a low voice, "And please, be detailed." I waved my hand at him, "I wouldn't expect you to understand. It just didn't suit my tastes." "Bullshit," he smirked, "The sounds you made implied otherwise." This was not what I had come to discuss, I needed to get the conversation back on track. "I'm bored with my current duties... and company.

I want my freedom back." "Not a chance," Gideon pivoted and went back to working behind his desk, "Anything else?" "Please, Gideon," I hadn't tried this angle yet, but it was worth a try, "If I need to sit in that tiny office with Camila for another hour, you won't have any family left. We'll murder each other within the week.

Give me something to do that gets me out and about." "Special assignments are for good, obedient, wives and Lunas," Gideon raised an eyebrow and stared at me, "I'm not sure that you qualify." I rounded his desk and hovered by his side, brushing my hand along his sleeve as I leaned down and planted a sweet, chaste kiss on his cheek. "Please?" I whispered. "Fine," Gideon said after a few moments of stillness, "I'm putting you in charge of overseeing all the arrangements for the annual mating ceremony.

You will also need to make an appearance by my side, as my wife and participate with me in the ceremony. We are supposed to act as mentors for those who are mating for the first time, and that means being open to answering questions if the young wolves have them." I winced. Being a relationship coach for a bunch of horny young men and women was not appealing. Gideon sensed my reluctance and gave me a smug look. "Of course, if you think you're not up for it..." 1/2 Chapter 241 +25 Bonus "No, I got it," I grimaced and headed for the door.

"Bye, wife," Gideon laughed as I slammed it shut behind me. This was going to be a pain in my ass, but at least being in charge of the ceremony would give me the access I needed to pack supplies to start stashing funds and materials to stage another escape. 'You should not do this thing,' my wolf cut in suddenly, 'Staying with him is the best thing for our child." Annoyed, I ignored her, even though doing so made my heart ache. Fighting with ones wolf was like fighting with yourself. It gave me a headache and a lot of unease.

Her comments put doubt in my heart, and that evening as the moon rose, I decided to do something I hadn't done in a long time. I went out into the forest and found a quiet spot to try and commune with the Moon Goddess. It had been a while since I felt like I had really tried to connect with the one deity who had ever showed an interest in my life. My thoughts kept going back to what my wolf had said when I had shifted for the first time-that I should talk to my mother about what had locked my wolf away inside me for so long.

However, my mother had refused to answer, and now she was hopefully safe in the human settlements to the south. I would get no answers there. "Moon Goddess," I prayed, as her silver light drifted through the trees, "I ask for your blessing on me and my child. Please show me what I should do." I stood there for a few long moments, trying to listen for the Goddess' guidance. When I opened my eyes, I saw Gideon approaching through the woods. How had he found me? Ah, right, the guards. He had relaxed their presence somewhat, but I should have known he'd still have people watching from a distance.

"I came to make sure you weren't trying to run away again," Gideon's grin was unapologetic, "Shall we go back to the pack house?" 1 had no choice but to follow him back. Irritated, I muttered to the darkness, "This was not the sign I was looking for." 'But maybe it's what you needed,' my wolf said pointedly. 2/2 Editorial Board Editorial Board Our editorial team works behind the scenes to refine each chapter, maintain consistency, and deliver the best reading experience.
