They all arrived at the pack house and Mira could not stop thinking about her encounter with that man as she paced around in her room. Did he say his name was Casper? And Night demon pack?
The more she thought about it the more familiar the name of the pack sounds to her yet she couldn't really place a...
Her eyes widened as a memory from her previous life flashed in her head.
It was about the death of someone really powerful.
Mira's hands flew to cover her mouth in shock as she remembered it.
In her previous life, the sudden death of a powerful and legendary Alpha shook the entire werewolf world. The order of everything changed as someone else took all of his power. The night demon pack who not many of the low ranks knew about as they kept a low profile became pawns in the hands of this person. The pack was destroyed and a new one was brought in.
She knew all of this because her gamma always fed her with informations even if she didn't want to know she had still listened and now...
No she needed to get her head wrapped around this. If this Casper person was really a beta to this Alpha then she had a chance!
Her eyes gleamed with something exciting dancing in it but it dimmed again when she remembered she would probably have no way to meet him again.
That pack was so mysterious and quiet not many people knew about them in her previous life. The only thing everyone knew was the existence of a legendary alpha. The alpha who saved three hundred lives years ago. Of course he has to be legendary and loved.
She put her hands in her pocket, bringing out the ring like object Casper had given her. There was nothing really special about it apart from the weird markings drawn around it. She saw a tiny button sitting at the side and became curious so she used her fingers to press on it. Surprisingly, those weird markings became letters in her eyes. She didn't know if something was wrong with her eyes as she peered at the ring and put together a string of letters. It spelt m.o.u.n.t.a.i.n.s.
At first she didn't really knew what that meant but later on, it clicked and she found herself smiling and preparing her scheme in her head. One thing was for sure though, her true mate was a part of this pack.
Now, thinking about that, she was very rash following her mates scent earlier. What if Jason finds out? It will completely disrupt her plans. The special plans she made for her husband and his mistress which she was sure they will both enjoy or maybe not. So she couldn't afford a mate now. It wasn't part of her plan and she was not going to include it.
Mira took out her phone and dialed her gamma's number. He was out on a mission so she could do nothing than to call him.
"Luna?" His voice came through the receiver.
"Ah, James. Are you busy?" She asked.
"Not exactly. Do you need anything?"
"Yes. Do you know anything about the night demons pack?"
There was a long silence as she asked this, as if he was trying to remember. But she knew he would. James was like an informer. His gossiping habit allowed him to know a lot of things others doesn't and yeah this person supported her in her previous life until she died. He cried and pleaded with Jason to spare her but of course he was ignored.
After a while he answered "They are a very mysterious pack and powerful. I heard the Alpha is even above the king."
"Really?" She feigned shock even though she wasn't really.
"Of course. Any one of their members could easily annihilate a pack so tell me why they shouldn't be above the king."
"I haven't encountered any of them but I heard if you do, you should run as fast as you can. They're completely ruthless and there is this scent they have that sets them apart from others. Its the scent of their foreboding power. They also operate only at night as their names suggested. They are walking night demons luna. By the way why are you asking about them?" James finally asked after talking nonstop.
This was exactly the way Mira remembered him and she couldn't stop herself from laughing out leaving James puzzled as he called, "Luna?"
"Ah, sorry James. I just thought you were cute." She continued, "By the way, I just asked because I heard someone talking about it" She said and after getting all of what she needed, she hung up.
The next day, after a not too good night sleep. Mira freshened up and went outside for breakfast but was surprised or maybe shocked at the sight she was met with.
Eli was standing in front of her with a smile and there were balloons scattered over and a huge writing above. Everyone else were present as well. Curious about what was about to unfold.
A frown formed on Mira's face when she saw Eli suddenly got down on her knees as tears started to roll out from her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Luna. Y-yesterday I misunderstood you and accused you of trying to kill me. Please... Punish me." She did a bow which left Mira stunned and speechless.
Something was going on, Eli must be planning something by doing this but what could it be?
It took a while before she snapped out of her trance. Feeling the gazes of everyone on her. It was as if they already knew what she would do. She hated Eli so why should she accept her apology which was obviously fake but Mira surprised everyone by taking Eli's hands and pulling her up from her knees.
"You really don't have to do this." She said, wiping Eli's tears, "Its good that you realize you misunderstood me Eli, otherwise, I would have thought you did it to scheme against me but now I know better. We all shouldn't jump to conclusions until we find proof."
"I know, luna. I'm sorry."
"Its okay, we should get along from now on okay? I know everyone here thinks that I hate you but I really do not. Its just... Sometimes, I have mood swings when I'm stressed out. Being a luna isn't so easy which explains my behavior. I hope you don't mind it Eli."
She looked into Eli's eyes which was hiding the shock she felt and couldn't help smiling. The hushed whispers of everyone saying she was kind entered her ears.
"Y-yes I understand."
The moment Eli said this, Jason strolled forward to them. She didn't notice his presence before so she was quite surprised as he flashed her a smile and wrapped his hands around her waist possessively in front of everyone.
"I knew you were very generous, my love." Jason placed a kiss on her forehead making her almost want to cringe at his disgusting lips on her skin and his act but she managed to hold it in.
Her eyes darted between him and Eli. She could tell immediately that their plan was still on. She knew this duo wouldn't let her keep an image like this for nothing so what were they planning?
"Since you both are friends now she should join you for the meeting later right? I think she should start to learn how to be a good luna from you so she wouldn't find it difficult later on when she married an alpha. Don't you think?"
As she heard Jason said this, she smiled internally. As expected, it wasn't for nothing. She had a meeting with two important clients later and Jason wants Eli to come with her. Except it wasn't for this reason. They wanted to try and steal her connections. That was it. It should be quite possible with a twenty percent chance. This was a smart move but it didn't happen in her previous life like this. It seemed as if they were more desperate and hasty.
Could it be because of the divorce she mentioned to Jason yesterday? Did that change something in their plan?
