The Last Royal Luna
(Book 2) – Chapter 58

“Now that we all have our plates, I have something I need done before we dig in.” Alpha Jerrick had switched to a serious face and I was not the biggest fan already. “I have our doctor coming to take some of your b***d and run it against the dna we have on fill for the fallen Queen and King. Just to back up that you are their daughter.”

“So you are saying that she isn’t the princess? How about we have her use some of her powers. I am partial to the control of b***d within ones body.” Kane growled out. Knox grabbed his arm and shook his head no.

“Let’s call dad and let him know about this. These two may be lying about knowing her parents and want to use her b***d for some kind of witchery.” Knox whipped his phone out and started to call his dad.

The Alpha growled at that remark but once again the Luna calmed him down. I feel like she has to do that a lot and I wonder if it was because he was super powerful or that he had been in the Alpha position for too long. That made me wonder why one of his children hadn’t take the Alpha position. Hopefully I will replace out when we meet them later tonight.

“Fine. Talk to your father while we do the b***d draw.” With that he summoned a female who looked about forty forward and pointed to me. Like she didn’t know who she was taking b***d from. Only female shifter in the new group but whatever.

She ended up being really gentle when taking the b***d sample and tried to spark up a conversation, but I had my attention on the twins and the conversation with their dad. Mel mentioned spelling my b***d so that only the parentage can be checked. I nodded in agreement before anyone else could say anything. I could see the Luna eyeing her husband with a bit of anger and it made me feel better that she believed me without a b***d test.

“Our father agreed with Mel so before you walk off with her b***d let’s get that done.” Kane stepped behind us as the doctor was putting a band-aid on my arm.

“That is fine. I just need to label it real quick and then she can do what she needs.” The doctor agreed as she stood up.

“No need to harass our doctor. She is great at what she does and she would never do anything to hurt a patient.” Alpha Jerrick walked up to us with his arms crossed and his shoulders tensed back.

“We know. This is all just a little much especially right after my heat and getting attacked by several witches. We just have had a lot happen within the last few weeks and it put us all on edge.” I gave them a smile that didn’t seem to reach my eyes.

“Thank you.” The doctor nodded before taking the b***d from Melissa and heading out.

“Yes, thank you for understanding. Let’s eat now while we wait. I don’t think my wolf wants to wait anymore for that juicy steak.” He faked growled before giving a big belly laugh. It broke the tension which helped relax Blue enough so she didn’t try to take over.

The guys headed back to their seats after they each gave me a k**s on the forehead helping all of us feel better. I am glad that having several mates has had better results than I had originally thought especially since the two of the first three were big pain in the asses in school. I still wish I would of beat them up a few times to put them in their place. It would have been a great story to tell our pups one day.

“Thank you again for having us and serving us such a great lunch. I can’t wait to stuff myself before seeing the rest of the pack lands. I really hope we can catch some of the training you do here.” I looked down at my plate and drooled. I was starving and this plate was full of my favorite foods. I feel like we just had a snack on the road but my body was saying you haven’t ate in days.

“Of course. We love meeting new leaders of the packs. It helps if we ever need to get together.”

I felt Blue stir from laying down and start pacing around. I tried to send good vibes her way but she shook her head out before sniffing and whining. ‘What’s going on? Are you ok? Are we in danger?’ She was beginning to make me freak out. She has only acted like this when a new mate was near or when we were in s**t up to our ears.

‘What is going on with Blue? My wolf is freaking out that she is acting strange. Are you in danger, baby?’ Blake asked using our mate mind link so that all of us could talk to each other.

‘Is there a way to calm her down a bit? I am about to shift over here and take out one of these warriors just to take the top off.’ Asher was usually the best at control so this came as a surprise.

‘It isn’t that we are in danger. The last time she acted like this was when we came across Edgar…s**t, does that mean the next mate to join is going to be from here?’ I could feel my nerves starting in trying to match Blue’s with the thought of adding on another mate when my heat had just ended. I knew it was a sure thing but I was just so use to the guys I had and the relationship we work hard at every day.

“Awe! My boys showed up early! Come meet our special guests.” The Luna squealed with the brightest smile on her face.

The Alpha walked around the table toward whoever was at my back. I was scared to turn around and have to explain the whole multiple mate’s thing for the who knows how many times. I knew this was irrational and I just needed to let it happen. The goddess knew what she was doing in choosing who I should be fated to. Damnit just buck up and do it, Ryder. You can already smell his sweet scent of cotton candy with a hint of something salty.

‘So here goes nothing, guys. Please be calm and collected so we don’t freak the new guy out. I don’t want to have him freak out the first time I meet him.’ I made sure to give them each a look before turning around. They each gave a reluctant agreement.

“Ryder, I would like to introduce my youngest and the next Beta, Brock.” The Alpha patted his back before looking over at me.

I smiled before looking at Brock’s face and time stood still. His deep brown eyes and beautiful smile caught me off guard. I could feel Blue itching to see a his wolf and claim him as ours. I stepped closer to him with my hand out to shake his. “Mate.”

“Mate.” He replied taking my hand in his huge, soft hand as his thumb caressed mine.

I had heard the gasps but I only had my focus on Brock as he studied me. I see his wolf pushing forward in his eyes and it makes Blue start to pant. She wants to shift so badly so that they can play together and her show him who was boss in this relationship but I had a gut feeling that wouldn’t be the best idea.

“She is your mate?! I can’t believe my boy has found his mate!” The Luna ran up to us and pulled us into a hug. I watched as her smile grew and his fell.

“Why do you smell like several different wolves? Did you not wait to replace your mate before spreading your legs?” He growled out as he pushed away from us.

“Son!” Jerrick chastised but it went unheard as Brock started pacing.

I felt the guys come up behind me with Blake throwing his arm around me before glaring at Brock. “You don’t want to go there. She is perfect and she is our mate as well as yours.”

“Are you f*****g kidding me? The goddess wouldn’t curse me to be with a whore.”

“Don’t talk about her like that. One more hateful word comes out of your mouth and I will have your neck between my teeth with you begging for submission.” Asher wrapped his arm around my waist but it wasn’t for my comfort. With how hard he was squeezing me it was so that he didn’t rip him to pieces.

“I only have one thing left to say.” He mouthed sorry to his mother which was the nicest thing I had seen him do and it melted Blue a bit. “I, Brock, Son of Alpha Jerrick and future Beta reject you, Ryder, as my mate.”

The pain was instant and it was nothing like I had felt before. The pain in my heart like someone was stabbing it a million times over and over while Blue fell to the ground and slid to the back of my mind whining. I could feel my strength leaving my body and my brain going all fuzzy. I didn’t know what was going on around me but all I wanted to do was wrap up in my blankets to hide from the rest of the world.

“Take it back, son. You have no idea what you have done. She is…” Jerrick yelled but Edgar didn’t let him finish. I saw his figure blur past me as he shoved Brock against the wall by his throat.

“Do not tell him who she is. She would only want him if he wanted her for just being her not whose child she is. He lost his chance and I feel like he should lose his life.” Edgar growled out. I heard some screams so his eyes must of turned red from wanting to tear out Brocks throat.

“Let my son go. He definitely deserves his a*s handed to him but not killed. Your mate needs your more than he needs his a*s whooped right now.” The luna laid her hand on Edgar’s arm and a growl ripped out of me.

“Luna I need you to step away from Edgar. I don’t have it in me to rain in my emotions or actions right now. He is mine.” I was waiting for Blue to want to jump into this but she hadn’t moved. This was all me being a possive a*s b***h and I had no regrets.

“I am sorry. I just need him to let my youngest down before his brother tries to take him out.” She let go of Edgar and glared at something behind her. I am guessing it was her other son.

“Edgar, please come help me stay standing.” I pleaded with him and he let Brock fall to the floor after whispering something in his ear. If I wasn’t in so much pain I would bet that it was the way he was going to die.

“Please, forgive my son and let us think this through.” Jerrick begged as he helped Brock to his feet and glared at him.

“I can’t do that. I don’t beg or plead for someone to love me. I know how amazing I am and that I don’t need him to keep being that way.” I looked at the guys for strength and they all put their hands on me in some way to help me hold back the pain.

“Before you finish this, why are my parents so worried about who you are? It shouldn’t matter and my brother is stupid for rejecting his mate so I am sorry for that.” The brother asked but I just ignored him.

“I, Ryder, daughter of King James and Luna Teresa accept your rejection of being mates and seal our fates of never being anything to each other.” I couldn’t look at any of them so I just turned and fell into my mates arms, tears flowing freely as the pain continued to rip through me.
