Page 49 of My Only Luna

Then there is Beta Alfred of the Silver Fang Pack and Beta Dylan of the Crimson Moon Pack, both of whom are standing in for their alphas who couldn’t make it. The only reason I know all their names is because Elijah had told me prior, as well as shown me pictures of them.

From our pack, there’s Uncle Nick and Aaron.

“Elijah!” Rafael says, standing up. Although he became an alpha at a young age, he’s made a name for himself and his influence runs deep. His obvious warm welcome to Elijah will make the other alphas more inclined to agree with our proposition, a clear sign of the influence of his pack.

And Elijah said he was already on board before they even got here. We really do owe him.

“Rafael.” Elijah meets him with a brotherly hug and handshake.

“Elijah,” Rafael responds before the two men exchange a smile, and Elijah then turns to greet the other alphas. I give a small nod to all of them before I take my seat at the table.

“Nice to see you again, Scarlett,” Rafael remarks.

“Nice to see both of you again as well,” I answer, making Rafael smile.

“Yeah, well, I begged Alejandro to come…” he begins. His brother casts him a dangerous glare and Rafael scratches the back of his head, grinning sheepishly.

“If you’re all done, shall we get to the fucking meeting?” Alejandro asks in his rugged voice. All eyes go to the boy questioningly. Despite being fifteen, there is something about him that feels… different, almost dangerous. But I’m sure just like me, no one here can explain it.

He shows blatant disrespect towards the alphas in the room, yet weirdly no one says anything, they just frown disapprovingly at the boy.

“Yes, let’s,” Dad answers clearly, trying not to let the strange aura from the boy distract him. “As we have already told you, Scarlett is an alpha. She has a right over the pack in question. I know we’ve already talked about it and I have shared my proposition, but there were questions you all had and we want to answer them.”

There’s silence as the alphas nod in understanding.

“Scarlett, care to display your capability?”

“Command Beta Dylan to submit,” Alpha Daniel says mockingly.

I cock a brow. I’m not sure what his issue with the beta is.

“I don’t want to disrespect anyone. Everyone here has come to listen and for that I am grateful,” I say, letting my aura roll off me as I look Dylan straight in the eye.

Surprise flickers in his eyes before he pulls at the collar of his shirt. “I’m sure my aura is enough to show you I am an alpha. I can also show you my wolf. That would put aside any of your doubts instantly.”

“I think your power is enough,” Beta Alfred says, from across the table.

“It’s unheard of for a female to be an alpha. I think we have a right to see,” Alpha Daniel opposes. A few of the others agree,giving him more confidence to continue. “I want to see her wolf; I mean, how can I believe something that is unheard of?”

Elijah growls warningly, making me place my hand on his back. We need their help. The more wolves, the fewer casualties.

“I’ll shift,” I say firmly. With that, I stand up and step back, take my shoes off, and transform. The jarring pain of my bones breaking lasts a split second before I stand tall in my silver wolf form. All eyes are on me, shocked at the sheer size of the female alpha before them. There is no space for doubt left in anyone. I am the proof.

“Is that enough proof, Alpha Daniel?” Dad asks in a clipped tone. Elijah steps back, turning his back to the group, and pulls his shirt off. The moment I shift back he pulls it over my head, giving me a small smirk. I step out from behind him and slip my shoes back on.

Alpha Daniel bristles at Dad’s tone. “Was she born female?” he asks hesitantly, making all eyes turn to him. A few look surprised, others curious.

“Yes, not that it’s your concern,” Dad snarls.

“A female alpha is just…” Alpha Daniel trails off.

“Think what you want. I honestly don’t care. I am an alpha, whether you like it or not, and I don’t need a fucking dick to prove that. I’ve shown you my wolf, that should be enough,” I say icily.

“That’s enough proof… but you have to admit there has never been an Alpha Female before,” he grumbles.

“Then you’ve not seen anything,” Alejandro says suddenly, a dangerous glint in his eyes as he looks at the Alpha. Alpha Daniel frowns at him, but something about the young boy unsettles him greatly. His dark eyes flick towards me and I feel an odd chillbefore he turns them back on Daniel who quickly looks away.

How strange…
