The Perfect Luna Chapter 3

It did not take her long to get to her most favourite place in the world– the Silver Mirror Lake. This was the only place where Riannon could be alone. Far enough from the packhouse and close to the borders of the pack, it was safe since they did not have any rogue attacks in that area. One pack away from here was the Lycans territory, and it was rumoured that the Lycan King’s residence was also someplace close. No one was foolish enough to enter these lands and check, though.

So, Ria did not think twice when she stopped by the edge of the lake, naked, and jumped into the water. It was cold, but at the same time, it was exactly what she needed to calm herself down Embracing the dark night with only the full moon shining upon her, causing crystals of water to sparkle on her skin, she soon felt an unknown presence. It was powerful and dominating, yet did not belong to her husband and made her alert at once.

Pretending that nothing had happened, Ria carefully looked around, and her eyes caught the figure of a huge wolf on a hill on the other side of the lake. He was dark, probably black, though his eyes were shining golden.
