A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret)

Chapter 0023



Megan Deere

Meg stood in front of the Luna's door and knocked.

"Enter," she called out.

Elder Damascus White was in the office when she walked in. She bowed in greeting according to Forest Moon's custom when a younger werewolf meets a council elder. "You look well, dear Megan," he remarked in kind, soft tone.

"I'm well, elder, thank you," she replied with a smile. The male rose from the chair.

"My dear Luna, I hope things would move forward between those two when you return," he said.

"We all hope the same," Luna Reign replied with a serious expression.

Once the elder had left and shut the door, she mumbled, "At least, I'm not the only one worrying that Nick's about to screw up!"

Meg wished she wouldn't offer details on her son's love life, but the Luna went on.

"That's Cassie White's uncle. Come to whine about his niece getting stood up!"

"I see," Meg replied, but she was truly not interested so she added, "the chopper is ready, Luna."

"Perfect! Get Mae and Truly. We leave immediately. I myself need the calm and serenity of a countryside this very minute," she said.

Meg nodded and left the office.

When Luna Reign declared that she should accompany her to Orphic, Meg wished she could refuse. But this was the Luna. No Forest Mooner could say no to her.

Her stomach still felt sour. Today, she'd just learned that Nickolas Reign was engaged. Again. Her mouth felt bitter at the thought.

After his first engagement failed, the Luna had given her the hint that she would fix them up. Maybe she was wrong, but her power over her son wasn't as strong as everyone thought.

at Sara James. She stopped dreaming that he would seek to explore that little kiss they shared that night. When his first engagement ended, she thought it was her chance. But she'd been so wrong.

She still feel a strong flash of shame when she recalled how she threw herself like a cheap slut. Not once, but three time. Goddess, how mortifying! She can't help but wince when she think about the time she followed him into the men's room at the club, pretending to be drunk. That was the worst because he

knew she was sober.

The repulsion in his eyes as he pushed her away was heart-wrenching. Despite that, she didn't lose hope because his mother was on her side. How stupid she'd been!

How it hurt when she finally realized that he meant what he said about that one kiss. It was just a show for Sara. Ah, Sara! That fucking whore! Thank Goddess she was gone from their lives.

When Richard told her about Nick's second engagement, she'd fell sick and took a two months sabbatical. That was when she knew that the Luna couldn't influence her son to give her a chance. All hope was lost. She used that time to travel around Europe to clear her head.

When she returned, she decided to avoid all things that had to do with the alpha. No more throwing herself in his face every chance she gets. No more seeking the smallest excuse to go up to his office or the mansion.

Right now, Luna Reign was dragging

her to Orphic Valley, not to see the project, but for the sole purpose of seeing her son. The worst part is the fact that the pack elders were

starting to clamour for a mat ali ne

ceremony and an heir. They were restless that their leader didn't have his Luna yet. It had been four-years since he ascended, after all.

Meg knew that they were going to that town so that the luna could talk him into fixing a date.

"I'm over him," she whispered the assurance to herself as she re-applied her lipstick.

Jude Duncan was there, according to what she heard. It's been a month since they last hooked up. She would use him to scratch her itch once she arrived in Orphic. That was one good way to bear being around Nick.
