“What the f*ck?! You are crazy! She attacked me and you know it.” I point at Mike, but don’t take my eyes off Tyler. “Tyler, you know I wouldn’t kill someone out of spite. I didn’t even know she was your mate or the crazy b*tch that left you for this tool.” I’m pissed, because I see what Mike is doing now. He is tying up loose ends and Tyler is a loose end now that he is mateless and out of control. He’s no longer a good soldier.
I have to divide my attention between the two of them. One is taunting to see who will come out the victor and one is so out of control that he will kill me or I will kill him and either way it will break one of us in the end.
Where is everyone? Osiston and Nickolas and the rest of the team shouldn’t have been that far from me. The thought flits through my mind as Tyler growls again and takes more controlled faster steps towards me. His wolf is winning.
“You know Tyler isn’t there anymore. Losing a mate is hard enough, but most males lose their humanity without their other half. He will destroy you and I would hate to see that. You really should defend yourself, Love. I would really hate to have to start my search over. It took me a long time to find you and you are the strongest I have seen, the first to beat Janice and she took on many worthy candidates.” “You used her to vet potential Lunas? You are crazy!” I keep moving back, keeping distance between Tyler and I. I am trying to mindlink my team, but my head hurts and it feels like there is a weight on my brain.
“Oh, you can stop trying to talk to your sister and your uncle and whoever else was following you. They can’t help you here.” I stop short. How did he know I had people following me? “Bring her back to me.” Tyler growls out.
I look back at him. “You know I can’t do that, no one can. I’m sorry, Tyler. I didn’t mean to hurt her. I didn’t know.” Tears are falling from my eyes, but I don’t move to wipe them. I have to be ready. Mike will give some kind of signal and he will attack me.
“You can. You’re the Luna now, you can bring her back. Let him mark you and gain your full strength and bring her back with your powers.”
“I am no one’s Luna and even if I was they don’t have that kind of power. I don’t know what Mike has told you but he is lying to you.”
“You are the next Luna Queen. You have been chosen. The current Alpha King will soon fall. He won’t get away with letting his people suffer. There are more people in the Royal line that are better for the job, he has gotten lazy and arrogant. The Luna Queen has the power of the Moon Goddess. Bring. Her. Back!!” I can see Mike’s eyes light up at the idea that Tyler will beat me or make me submit. He is cruel and has brain washed these people into believing he is right and they have suffered at the hands of Alpha Reggie.
I’m going to try and stick with logic for now. “I have no idea what you are talking about. The next Luna Queen hasn’t been found yet and even if it was me, which it’s not, they communicate with and talk to the Moon Goddess. That’s all. There are no other secret, hidden, special powers. Mike is lying to you. He’s not even the next Alpha King. And from what I can see he’s a coward, hiding behind others so he doesn’t have to do any real work. He is no true leader.”
