Chapter 15

For a time, Luna sat on the bench, staring up at clouds as they passed over the moon for which she’d been named. The night sky always reminded her of her parents. She’d always wondered what had prompted them to name her for a reflective sphere that hung in the dark between the stars.

Whatever the reason, she was grateful for everything they’d done for her and Silver.

“Wherever you are, I miss you now, more than ever,” she said as she took in the cool air, savouring the quiet of the night.

If her parents had been with her, they could have advised her. They could have given her an opinion on Ripper, on Kirith. Maybe they could even have helped Silver through the silent pain that he was enduring, since he wouldn’t talk to her about it. Something told her that he needed them even more than she did.

She sat in peaceful silence on the park bench for an hour before Kirith’s Dragon returned, landing hard in front of her. His talons hit the ground with such a force that pieces of gravel flew up around him, scattering in every direction.

“Were you successful?” she asked as he shifted, striding towards her with purpose. “Minach and his brother are flying to their destination as we speak. Time will tell, but I am hopeful that, thanks to you, the family will remain protected.”

“Good. I’m glad I could help.”

“I thought I told you to leave,” he said, his brows knitting together.

She shrugged her white shoulders dismissively. “I didn’t want to,” she replied. “You’re not the boss of me.” The words came with a smile, thought Luna wasn’t entirely sure that she was joking.

“No, indeed,” Kirith replied, seating himself next to her, hands pressing into the dewy surface of the bench. “It seems no one is the boss of you, in fact.”

“I do have an Alpha,” she replied.

“You have an Alpha who is unworthy to lead a Pack,” he told her. “That makes him less than worthless. It also makes you a non-follower. You are a leader; I can feel it in you. You are strong as anything.”

Warmth flooded her chest at the compliment. It wasn’t the first time he’d said something kind to her. The bloody BHD was going to make her blush.

“I don’t feel so strong around you,” she said, turning to study his profile. “You make me feel weak, Kirith.”

He turned to look at her. “I don’t want to,” he said. “I don’t want anyone to feel weak in my presence, except for one shifter.”

“Who’s that?”

“You know the answer to that already.”

“My Alpha.”

“The man you call Ripper.” Kirith let out a hard exhale. “But for now, I’m going to go to bed. You should do the same,” he said, rising to his feet. “Go home, Luna.”

“No,” she replied, rising to stand in front of him. She wasn’t going to touch him. Wasn’t going to try to stop him with any force other than her voice. “I don’t want to leave until you tell me why you hate him so much.
