My Alpha Wants Two Lunas I'm Done novel Chapter 3

Holt's POV:

"Laila, I almost forgot—your gift."

I pushed open the bedroom door and walked back inside.

I had been so mad at her a minute ago that I completely forgot. Before I left for war, I promised her I'd bring back a jar of soil from the Vagen Battlefield. Her father and brothers died there, and she told me she'd probably never be able to travel that far. She wanted the dirt so she could have a way to honor them.

I kept that promise in mind, even though...

"Laila?"

The room was empty. And ... I frowned. The place had clearly been cleaned out. The books she always read, her jewelry box, even that fancy coffee cup she brought from the Silvermoon Pack—gone. Instead, a few packed suitcases were sitting there.

She really planned to leave?

A tiny bit of worry hit me, but I quickly brushed it off.

Where could she go?

She was an Omega who had been marked, and her wolf spirit was weak. Leaving her Alpha and her pack was basically a death sentence, or worse. No pack would take her in and risk making me their enemy.

This had to be another one of her little tricks. She was probably just trying to scare me into changing my mind by threatening to run away.

Classic girl move.

But seriously, had I not treated her well enough? Even if she was basically useless to me, I never thought about dumping her.

I snorted, dropped the gift on the table, and walked out.

Whatever. Let her calm down on her own. After I finished the ceremony with Maris, I'd make time to comfort her—if she were smart about it.

Laila's POV:

Elara's place sat at the highest point of the den. She liked quiet places.

For the past year, I walked this path almost every day. Sometimes I even stayed overnight. Werewolves have sharp hearing, and except me, no one else wanted to take care of an old she-wolf who coughed all night. It drove people crazy.

But on the way there, my sharp hearing made it impossible to ignore the whispers.

"Is Luna Laila getting dumped? Moon Goddess, I've never heard of a pack having two Lunas!"

"Well, it's not surprising the Alpha made that choice. Maris is the first female general of our Rydar Kingdom. And Luna Laila ... can't do anything."

"I also heard Luna Laila is bad luck. People say she turns into a monster at night and that she's the reason the Silvermoon Pack got wiped out."

"Yikes. If that's true, I hope she leaves the Ironclaw Pack soon. I don't want to end up as a homeless rogue!"

Hearing that, I shot a cold look at the servants who were gossiping.

I spent the last year doing everything I could to help the Ironclaw Pack, pouring so much of my money into this place, and this was what I got.

And that Omega who said I turn into a monster at night, just two days ago, I gave her money to help pay for her sick mother's treatment.

When they saw me looking, they immediately shut up and bowed. "Luna."

I nodded coldly and kept walking.
