Chapter 149: Luna’s Growth
LUNA POV
The vampire landed right in front of me, teeth bared and eyes glowing red.
I didn’t even pause. My hand connected with his jaw, sending him flying backward into a tree. Six months ago, I would have screamed and run. Tonight, I stood my ground and prepared for the next attack.
"River Pack, form defensive line!" I yelled to the wolves behind me. "Protect the children!"
More vampires dropped from the sky like dangerous rain. The vampire council had arrived at Silver Peak in force, and they weren’t here to talk. As pack diplomat, it was my job to handle this problem before it turned into a war.
"Stand down!" I commanded, using every bit of power I’d learned over the past months. "This is neutral territory under supernatural law!"
The head vampire, an ancient-looking man with silver hair, laughed coldly. "Laws mean nothing when reality itself is breaking apart, little wolf."
He had to be Viktor, the vampire council leader Dmitri had named. The vampire who wanted to stop all dimensional fixes and let the world burn.
"Then let’s talk about solutions instead of threats," I said, stepping forward despite every instinct telling me to run.
Viktor’s eyes narrowed. "You would negotiate with the very beings whose feeding created this crisis?"
"I would negotiate with anyone willing to help save innocent lives," I replied firmly.
Behind me, I heard gasps from my own pack members. Luna Morrison, the spoiled beta’s daughter, talking back to one of the most powerful vampires in existence. A year ago, I wouldn’t have believed it myself.
