Chapter 18 You Aren’t My Luna
’Maybe... maybe he gave in to his carnal desire because he couldn’t be like that with Claire right now, not while she’s carrying his pup...’ Addison thought.
And just like that, it was as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water over her. The chill seeped into her bones, awakening her from the illusion she had been clinging to—forcing her to see the truth she had been too afraid to accept.
She felt drained. She thought she had already moved on—but now she realized, it wasn’t that easy to let go. Hearing Beta Greg say that her mate had ordered him to retrieve all the core projects from her... it felt like a slap to the face.
Wasn’t that a clear sign she was being pushed out and replaced? That she was never accepted as the Luna of this pack, and that her place was now being offered to Claire?
What more proof did she need?
Those three days and three nights with Zion—was it all just an illusion she’d created in her mind? A fantasy she desperately clung to while he gave in to his carnal desire? Sure, he had whispered heart-stirring words during their mating, but everyone knew: a man’s sweet nothings in bed meant nothing.
Addison slumped back in her chair, the weight of it all crashing down. Seeing this, Gamma Levi’s expression darkened.
Like his tail had been stepped on, he lunged and slammed Beta Greg against the wall, his hand clamped around the man’s neck as he growled, "How dare you disrespect our Luna?!"
"Luna?" Beta Greg sneered. "Maybe you accepted her as your Luna—but I didn’t!"
