Chapter Sixteen

Mark's eyes widen, the corner of his lip twitching almost imperceptibly with the trace of a relieved smile as he realizes he's no longer the boldest one at the table. The inappropriate nature of his own question is instantly forgotten as everyone's eyes turn toward Tristan.

I swallow hard, setting down the juicy pear I'd been about to sink my teeth into and staring down at my hands.

"Sophie's vision revealed that my... mate" —Tristan says the word with some difficulty— "is tied to the future of our pack, and it was in the Rovers' best interest for me to find her."

Amara leans forward in her seat, her thick brows furrowing. "So this isn't just about the mating bond?" she asks.

Lucy scoffs. "Of course it isn't. You know Tristan. Since when does he- ow!" Before she can finish, Amara kicks her under the table, glancing between Tristan and me in a pointed warning.

What was Lucy about to reveal?

"But is she even your mate until you've marked her?" Mark asks, and I'm surprised to find that there's no malice behind his question this time, only genuine confusion and curiosity.

"It's not like we're expecting you to throw some big mating ceremony," Nico adds. "But are you going to make it official? Is flower girl over here going to be the new Luna of the Rovers or just our guest?"

Luna? Me?

I feel beyond foolish for not having thought of it sooner. Of course, Tristan is the Alpha of his own pack, and if I'm his mate, then that would naturally make me his Luna. Yet, somehow, the notion never even crossed my mind.

This whole thing has been unconventional, to say the least, and even though he's been kinder to me than I could have expected, he also made it clear that he's not fond of my uncle and my old pack. Besides, I'm hardly the stuff of leaders. I've been a slave my entire life, a freak. Not to mention the fact that I don't have a wolf. Can I be a proper mate if I'm not even a true shifter?

I certainly can't be a proper Luna.

"For now, the girl is my guest. The rest does not concern you," Tristan says sharply, to which Nico makes a dissatisfied sort of grimace.

"Well, according to Sophie's vision, this concerns the entire pack, so excuse me for wanting a little clarification," Nico says, folding his arms over his chest, eyes darting between his Alpha and me.

"The boy has a point," Amara adds softly, and I can almost sense Tristan's resentment as he glares over at her as if to say, 'Really? You too?'

"Come on, boss," Mark huffs. "You're saying this girl may or may not be the future of the Rovers, and she may or may not become your Luna. But we don't actually know anything about her. Who is she? Has she even told us her name?"

I wince at this. Even if I gave Mark the answer, he would not like it. A nameless servant mongrel as a Luna would undoubtedly be unwelcome.
