I headed down the stairs, my mind still occupied with all the tasks ahead. Between questioning Alpha Elton and arranging Lana Lyric’s arrest, my day was already packed. As I reached the bottom of the staircase, I noticed Freya and Scarlett standing with Ruby in the main hall, their expressions bright with
Ruby was the first to spot me, her face lighting up as I approached. “Luna Juno,” she greeted, a shy smile playing on her lips.
The formal title caught me by surprise, but I returned her smile and pulled her into a warm embrace. “Welcome to the family, Ruby,” I said, genuinely happy for her.
Ruby huzzed me back tightly before pulling away. I extended my hand to Scarlett, who grasped it firmly with a knowing smile.
“Well, look who finally accepted a proposal, Scarlett teased, nudging Ruby with her elbow. “Took you long enough,”
1 raised an eyebrow at Ruby. “Is that so?
Ruby’s cheeks flushed pink as the fumbled for words, 1… I mean… it wasn’t that I didn’t want to… it’s just… everything happened so fast and-”
I placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. “You dont seed to explain. I understand completely.”
“Indeed she doesnt came Amelia’s cheechul wire as she joined our circle, I’d never seen Augustin’s mother looking quite so happy. Her eyes sparkled with genuine pleasure as the seguided a small group.
“There’s nothing quis lie a mathes & joy at sewing her sons find worthy mates, Amelia said, her voice warm with emotion. She turned to Ruby. “I knew from the moment I met you that you were perfect for my son, Exands seeds someone like you. She pulled Ruby into a tight embrace.
You should have seen thowen’s face when she left last night,” Amelia continued with a mischievous grin. She looked absolutely mortified!”
We all laughed at the image
“She’s been trying to get hat masa Cassandra back with Augustin for months,” Amelia revealed, rolling her eyes. “Always interfering in everyone’s relationships while ignoring the thaaste that is her own atomshup with Exanth
Amelia’s smile grew widet. I was so pleased when Exent progrend to Ruby night in front of Elowen, it was perfect timing,”
I nodded, secretly believed. Cassandra was me konger a threat, not that she ever truly was. Augustin and I were fated, and nothing could change that.
As the others continued chanting. I motiond Amelia going me a meaningful look. She subtly tilted her head, indicating she wanted to speak privately. I nodded almost impercept dey
We moved away from the group to a quiet corner of the hall. Amelia reached out and took my hand in hers, her touch unexpectedly warm.
“You are truly remarkable, Juna,” she said softly. “A true huma in every sense of the word.”
1 blinked, surprised by the sudden praise.
“I have complete faith in your abilities,” she continued. “You will bear strong heirs to continue the Levenston bloodline.”
Her fingers tightened around mine. “What you’ve done for my son… it’s immeasurable. Thank you. I’m proud of you.”
Augustin a too kind for his own good,” she added, “Those bastards have taken advantage of that kindness for years. I’m glad they’ve finally at their match
My eyes widened slightly at her words.

I stared at her.
She smiled knowingly. ‘I’m aware of what you and your friends have been doing to make those Alphas submit. It’s exactly what Augustin cerda balance his strength with their own.”
Her expression grew serious. Help my son deal with the threats hiding in plain sight, lowo. Help him bring peace
“Augustin has swallowed his pride to keep this world stable, she continued, but there’s war and chaos lurking beneath the surface
“Of course, I will help him.” I said with certainty.
“How’s my grandbaby doing?” she asked suddenly, glancing at my slightly rounded belly.
1 instinctively touched my stomach, feeling the small bump there. “Growing stronger every day, I replied.
We both laughed, the tension broken.
After breakfast with Scarlett, Freya, and Amelia, we made our way to the arena. The entire place was buzzing with energy, people watching matches. participating in various activities, the air thick with excitement and competition.
We headed to our private box overlooking the mallet ball area. Scarlett and I planned to compete later in the evening, though Freya complained that mallet ball put her to sleep.
“Nothing happens for hours,” she groaned. “Then someone hits a ball, and everyone loses their minds for five seconds before going back to standing around
I was about to respond when one of Augustin’s Deltas approached our box.
“Luna Levenston,” he said with a respectful nod. “You have a visitor on your schedule.”
I frowned, caught off guard. “My schedule?”
Amelia laughed lightly. “As the Alpha King’s mate, you’re expected to receive other Lunas, dear. If their names are on the approved list, they’re safe to meet. As Luna Queen, you’ll need to receive Lunas from all territories.
She winked. “Next year when you’re officially Luna Queen, you’ll be even busier.”
I knew I was meeting Alpha Elton tonight, but I wasn’t aware of any Luna wanting to see me. “Who is it?” I asked the Delta.
“Luna Isabelle Richards.”
Scarlett immediately stiffened beside me. “That bitch?” she hissed. “How did she get on the list?”
The Delta looked increasingly uncomfortable. “It was an approved humble request, Luna Scarlett.”
“Do you know who that woman is?” Scarlett demanded, making the poor Delta look like he feared for his job.
I realized that if I pursued this, the Delta might lose his/position and face severe punishment. ‘I’ll see her,‘ I decided.
“What?” Freya looked at me like I’d lost my mind.
‘I need to see her,” I explained. “And she can’t hurt me.”
“If anything happens, link us immediately,” Scarlett warned, “That woman is trouble.”
I nodded and followed the Delta out of the box, heading to a separate one designated for receiving visitors.
