I raised an eyebrow at her. “Do you think that my memory is that bad? Of course, I know their names. I know everything about them.”
Luna Maria was my former Alpha’s mate. I was happy she came because I always admired her and I missed her insights and her presence in my life. She and my mom were best friends and Luna Maria was a constant presence in my life ever since I was a baby. I was hoping I would get to spend some alone time with her while she was here.
Luna Laura was Alpha Xavier’s mate. She was very quiet, but she seemed very kind. I was looking forward to getting to know her better.
Luna Alice was Alpha Lincoln’s mate and she was the loudest and the most talkative of all the Lunas. She always had a smile on her face and I admired her confidence. I believed that I had a lot to learn from her.
Luna Jennifer was Alpha Lucius’ mate and she was the only one that made me feel a bit uncomfortable. She was very quiet, but she never looked away from me when we were in the same room together. I was curious about her, but I always held back from reading her mind. It just felt like a huge invasion of her privacy and I didn’t want to do that. But maybe I could have a little peak during breakfast. Maybe she knew something about who was threatening Dimitri.
“I don’t think that your memory is bad, but you had a few rough days,” Ellie said, sighing quietly. “I just wanted to make sure you know everything you need to know before we go in there.”
I smiled and nodded.
“I know everything, Ellie,” I said. “Don’t worry.”
She glanced at Daniel before looking back at me.
Don’t read their minds.She mind-linked me.Dimitri forbade it. He doesn’t want you hurting yourself.
But maybe I could find something…I said, but she interrupted me.
It’s not worth it, Maddie.She said, shaking her head a little.Dimitri will find another way. Something will come up. It has to.
I took a deep breath and released it slowly.
Promise me that you will keep that wall up.She said.
I bit the inside of my cheek. I had to at least try to find something useful. I had to help my mate.
‘Madeline…,’Skye spoke, but I pushed her back immediately.
I promise.I mind-linked Ellie.
She gave me a small nod and looked at Ali.
“Stay by her side at all times,” Ellie said sternly. “Dimitri will kill us if something happens to her.”
I sighed and shook my head.
“That’s a bit dramatic, don’t you think?” I asked. “You are scaring Ali.”
Ellie raised her brows at me. “Am I lying? Dimitri would lose his shit if I bring you back to him and a hair is missing from your head. I don’t even want to think about what he would do if you got hurt.”
I bit the inside of my cheek to stop myself from smiling. Ellie really knew how to overreact sometimes.
“Come on,” Ali said, chuckling. “I think that the Lunas have arrived.”
I stood up and started walking toward the dining room. Ellie was on my left and Ali was on my right. I smiled even before I opened the door.
“Luna!”
“Queen!”
They exclaimed as they bowed their heads at me.
“Good morning,” I said as I sat down at the head of the table. “I would like to apologize for my absence yesterday. I wasn’t feeling well.”
Ellie sat on my left and Ali sat on my right. I noticed Ellie watching the Lunas carefully.
