Chapter 254
I can feel Oscar’s chest rumbling behind me. Is he laughing?
Elder Bastian switches to safer topics after that. He asks how I like the facilities of the training
camp, if I’ve had a chance to tour the Royal Pack, how I’m balancing school and training, things like
that as we take a couple laps around the long and narrow balcony.
Oscar taps my shoulder, “It’s time, Prince Alexander is looking for you.” I just nod and take his
offered arm.
“It was a very illuminating conversation, Elder Bastian, thank you. I turn Oscar and I around and
start walking in, not caring if I get a reply from this slimy as*hole.
We make our way inside and Xander is trying to extricate himself from blondie without making a
scene, but after the conversation with, who I can only assume was her father, I’m having none of it. I
let go of Oscar and walked straight to her, getting so close that if I was taller our eyelashes could
braid together.
“I’m going to need you to stop making a fool of yourself.
You had your opportunity with the Alpha Prince, he is not interested, move along and move on.” I let
a little of my Beta and I guess Alpha aura out to make sure she knows I’m not kidding. I’ve never
had a reason to use it before, but the sensation is amazing and terrifying all at once. I can see how
the power could go to someone’s head.
Her eyes go wide and she slowly backs away. Smart girl.
“When you become a Luna, remind me not to piss you off, like ever.” Oscar says from behind me
and I turn around confused.
“What are you talking about, I’m no Luna.” I just stare at him as Xander takes his place by my side
wrapping his arm around my waist where it has been all night.
“The hell you’re not! That was borderline scary and very sexy all at the same time, and I don’t even
like girls.” I couldn’t hold in a laugh at that”
You are going to be someone’s bada* $s Luna. I just hope it’s with someone in this kingdom. Can
you imagine having to negotiate with her?” He looks at Xander”
We’d lose our whole pack fairly.” He shakes his head and Xander and I both laugh.
The rest of the night was much the same. Females trying to gain Xander’s attention, several Elders
trying to distract me and many of them trying to get me secluded from the group with was creepy
enough, but I had an invisible warrior following me around and Oscar by my side if Xander couldn’t
be. There were actually a few males our age who tried to approach me, but both Xander and Oscar
growled at them for even approaching. The jealousy and dominance that they gave off just made
me laugh and think of my brother and Oliver.
Around midnight Alpha Reggie and Luna Anne came over to us and said it was okay to leave if we
wanted to. The three of us did not hesitate to get out of the dog and pony show.
We practically ran to the elevator, but before the doors closed and hand slid through stopping them
and my heart stuttered. Was this when someone actually tried something?
The doors slid open slowly and I let out the breath I didn’t realize I was holding”
Warrior Osiston, seriously, you scared the sh*t out of me.”
“Really? With all the BS you put up with tonight, someone stopping the elevator was what scared
you?”
“The verbal sparring is nothing, after tonight, that’s what I expect from most of these people. I guess
I let my guard down for something more aggressive.” I chastised myself. I can’t believe I let my
guard down, even after I was warned.
“Lesson learned then?” I just nod and look down at my feet.
I’m upset with myself, that kind of behavior could be the difference between living or getting killed.
