Chapter 37 Chapter 37
“Ody.” I hear Javier scream from the other end of the hall.

I groan and hear Casper chuckle behind me. He pulls me closer in our spooning position, and I feel his hard-on pressing against my ass.

“Casper.” I murmur.

“It’s a morning thing,” his hoarse voice explains.

The door opens and Javier enters inside. He stands in front of me, and I fully open my eyes to clearly see his frowning face.

“You promised that you’d take me to Grandma’s house very early.”

I nod. “I’m sor—” I cut my sentence short because apparently Casper found it funny to slip a finger inside me.

“Is something wrong?” he asks worriedly.

I shake my head and bite my lip. “Nothing is wrong, Javi,” I say, hoping Javier doesn’t notice my breathless tone.

“And you promised you’d call me sweetie.”

“I’m sorry, sweetie.”

I feel Casper smirk because of my breathless voice, and I want to smack him.

“Are you sure you’re okay? I could see Grandma tomorrow.”

I nod. “I’m perfectly fine. I’d have a quick shower so we can spend the day with them.” I swear that I could feel Casper laughing at my situation.

“Thanks, um—” He pauses and hesitates. “Mum,” he quickly says and kisses my cheek before running out of the room.

For a moment, I forgot what Casper’s fingers were doing and just concentrated on the fact that I felt so much happiness with Javier calling me Mum.

“Did you hear that, Casper? He called me Mummy.” I smile. But it doesn’t last long when he slips another finger inside because I lose my train of thought.

“Yeah, I did.” His voice is hot against my ear.

“I really love waking up to this.” I moan.

I groan in annoyance when I feel his fingers leave me. I think he’s going to fuck me, but his other arm leaves my waist and he leaves the bed. He stands at the foot of the bed. I look at him in disbelief, but he just smirks at me.

“You did not just leave me like that.” I growl at him.

He enters the bathroom and leaves the door slightly open. “It’s to keep you excited for tonight, and don’t you dare finish yourself off.” I hear him say. I hear the rushing of tap water and then the sound of a toothbrush against teeth.

I groan out in annoyance, but I can’t bring myself to touch myself or stand up from bed. “Fuck you,” I mumble into the pillow.

Soon after, I hear the shower running and I shut my eyes. He enters the walk-in closet when he’s done showering.

“We have to see my cousin, my aunt, and uncle today.”

“Why?”

“It’s a party for you. To celebrate a new Luna.”

“I forgot about that, but I don’t have anything to wear.”

“You can go shopping since you’re going out with Javier later today, or you can just leave it to me.”

I scoff. “Yeah, no. You’re a fucking pervert. Who knows what you’re going to get me?”

“Something fun, I promise.” He says and presses a kiss to my head as he walks past me to get a tie.

He walks out of the walk-in closet with his shirt half-buttoned. “Trust me, you won’t regret it,” he tells me and gets back in to continue dressing.

“And where is it going to happen?”

“At the castle.”

My eyes widen. “The castle? You mean the castle?”

“Yeah. They’re the King and Queen, remember?”

“You did tell me, but—oh shit, will they like me?”

“They’ll love you.”

“You don’t know that.”

He shrugs. “Martin and Lucy will love you. Flynn is a player. Don’t let his words flatter you.”

“It’s so funny that the rest of the world calls him Crown Prince Flynn and you just spit out his name with no title or respect.”

I hear his deep chuckle. “Flynn is like a brother to me. He doesn’t mind. Besides, he needs to find a mate that’ll keep him in check.”

“He hasn’t found his mate?”

“No. He acts like he doesn’t care, but I know him. He wants that. He just kind of sleeps around now.”

I bite my lip. “Has he tried going to every pack? She must be there somewhere.”

“He tried, but he almost got assassinated at the first pack. That ended it pretty quickly.”

“Wish I could help.”

“There is nothing that you can do. All we can do now is wait.”

He comes out of the walk-in closet fully dressed. He adjusts his tie before he walks over to me. “You look tired. I’ll take Javier to your grandparents’. You just sleep,” he says and kisses my forehead.

“Thanks.”

I watch him leave the room. I smile and snuggle into the sheets and inhale Casper’s scent. The moment only lasts for a short time before my phone rings. I groan out in annoyance and pick up my phone.

“Odetta?” I hear Alexa’s panicked voice.

“Yeah, I’m here. What’s wrong?”

“You have contact with the Oracle, right?”

“Yes, I do. What’s wrong?”

“I need your help.”

“Tell me what happened.”

“My daughter—she has dreams—horrible, horrible dreams where she’s attacked by something, and I don’t know what to do or what to make of it. I’m sorry for calling you, but you’re the only person I could think of right now.” She’s crying now.

“Did she tell you how that thing looked?”

“She can’t speak. She’s terrified. I don’t know what to do.”

Fuck. This is so bad.

“Pack your bags. You’re coming to the capital. You can stay with me.”

I hear her sniff. “Are you sure? Will Alpha Casper be okay with that?”

I forgot about him. “I’ll speak with him and call you later, okay?”

“Thank you so much. Thank you. I didn’t know what to do or who to tell.” She breaks down. “I feel so helpless,” I hear her say.

I try to comfort her and we stay there for a while before I hang up.

I decide that it’s time to clean up, so I arrange Casper’s bed before leaving his room and going to my room. I take my time in the shower, making sure I smell nice. I step out of the shower and quickly dress before I make my way out of the suite.

Victor is already in the kitchen when I walk in. His face lights up when he sees me.

“Luna.”

“I’ve told you not to call me that.” I scold him, but he just smiles.

“I’ve been waiting a long time for you to earn that title, so I get to use it as much as I want.”

I roll my eyes at him. His face then turns serious.

“I actually wanted to talk to you about the lack of social amenities in some pack areas.”

“You want me to help?”

He nods, and my eyes widen.

“Would Casper appreciate me handling a part of his pack?”

“He’ll love it, and if he doesn’t, he can suck it up. You’re Luna now.”

I think about it. My first Luna job. My first official Luna job. Oh, Moon Goddess, let me not mess this up.

“What do I do?”

He smiles. “Don’t worry. You’ll do a great job.”
