The Perfect Luna Chapter 69

Timidly, Alice walked into the room carrying a tray with, well, tea. Riannon wanted to laugh out loud, making a mental note not to drink a drop of it. It was unlikely that the omega would try to poison her now; however, the thought of consuming anything that Alice’s hands touched repulsed the Alpha.

There was a possibility, of course, that in this lifetime, Alice wouldn’t be working for the foxes. She wasn’t a part of the main team even back in Riannon’s previous life. Riannon kind of hoped Alice had already been recruited. It would be really helpful to them if she were.

Although the chances were pretty high. Alice poured tea into a cup when Ria took a quick glance at her. Ever since she saw the past, she had wondered what tempted the omega to serve Roxy? Their pack was one of the best, and life inside of it was comfortable for everyone. On top of that, omegas were guaranteed protection at all times, and this alone was a truly priceless advantage in their cruel world. Maybe Alice had higher ambitions than just serving tea to higher-ranking wolves? Or maybe she needed money for reasons unknown to Ria. Either way, Roxy promised her something that corrupted her loyalty to the pack. It couldn’t be a coincidence that both she and Marcus had chosen her pack and not Brayden’s. Ria also remembered Alice had a chosen mate who was slightly higher in ranking than an omega and wondered if he also had taken part in their betrayal. However, she doubted that, considering she witnessed the girl and her extra-curricular activities with Marcus in the woods right before her death. Another proof true mates ruled over chosen ones.

The wolf dissipated into myriads of tiny sparks, and everyone knew the funeral ceremony was officially over. Dean’s wolf was to be reborn. Dean was probably already enjoying the company of the Moon Goddess, which was an honour on its own.
