Chapter 74

“Anyway, I need to leave you now and go to my Alpha. Enjoy the night, Riana!” Zillah said, smiling.

“Okay go, “she replied.

Riana was feeling out of place as she watched the Bloody Scar Pack celebrate and enjoy the party. The others were dancing and drinking, and she was the only one that wasn't. Since She had been banished from the castle by Zillah and Alpha Killian after they accused her of betrayal. Her heart ached at the memory, and she longed to be accepted by these wolves.

Taking a deep breath, she moved away from the wall she had been hiding behind and stepped into the room. All eyes were on her, and she could feel the hostility radiating from some of the wolves. She forced a smile onto her face and decided to mingle with the others, in spite of the cold reception.

“Hi guys! Can I join? “she asked with courage.

“Sure, our former Luna, “one of the wolves responded.

“Nice! Thank you! “she smiled.

As the night went on, she kept her head high and tried to make conversation with the other wolves. However, she quickly realized that many of them were not genuine. They were fake in front of her, and she could tell that they did not like her. Despite the cold treatment she was receiving, she continued to mingle and tried to make friends.

“Let’s drunk! “She shouted with joy.

As the party came to an end, Riana was feeling exhausted but also relieved. She had managed to make some friends, and she was glad that the wolves had accepted her, even if it was only a little. She had proven to herself that she could make it in this new world, and she was grateful for the opportunity.

She had been at the party for almost two hours and had already consumed more than her fair share of drinks. She was feeling great and had no intention of slowing down anytime soon. As she swayed to the music, she felt someone come up behind her and start to dance with her. Turning around, she saw one of the Gamma wolves, a younger wolf who looked a bit too eager for her taste. With a coy smile, she continued to dance with him, feeling her blood start to boil with the thrill of the night.

“Hi our beloved Luna,” the male wolf said, smiling.

“I saw your Alpha was not here. I just want to ask if can I have a dance with you?” the male wolf asked her.

“Hmmm, No malice. Sure!” she replied as she glanced at Alpha Killian for a second.

Meanwhile, Alpha Killian was watching from the sidelines with his Luna, Zillah. He felt a wave of envy pass through him as he watched Riana dance in the arms of the Gamma. He wanted to be the one dancing with her, to feel the heat of her body as they moved together. But he knew he had to remain strong; he had a Luna to protect and couldn't do anything foolish.

“Stop what you are doing, Riana, “his mind says.

“Hmmm, are you okay, Alpha?” Zillah asked him.

“Y—yes of course, “he stammered.

However, Zillah noticed the way he had tensed up when he saw Riana, and a small smile spread across her face. She knew what he was feeling, and she knew that he wouldn't do anything about it. Taking his hand, she looked up into his eyes and gave him a reassuring squeeze. He smiled down at her before taking a deep breath and turning his attention back to the party.

While Alpha Killian was so very annoyed at what he saw. Riana, his former Luna, was dancing with another male wolf and he couldn't stand it. He wanted to rush forward and pull her away, but he knew he had to be careful. If he made a scene, it would only confirm Zillah's suspicions that he and Riana were having a secret affair.

So, he kept his cool, walking up to Riana and the other wolf, and said in a commanding voice, “I just want you to know that Riana is my brother’s Luna. You should respect it “he said seriously.

“I—I’m sorry, Alpha. I just want to have fun, “the male wolf apologized.

“Know your place. She still a Luna,” Alpha Killian replied emphatically.

The male wolf looked taken aback but stepped away from Riana without a word. As soon as he was out of earshot, Zillah stepped forward, shaking her head and smirking.

“You just had to show the pack who's in charge, didn't you?' she said, her voice dripping with irony.

Alpha Killian didn't respond. He just looked at Riana with a tenderness that Zillah hadn't seen before.

“I just want to protect my brother from betrayal. It’s not funny, Zillah!” Alpha Killian said firmly.

“Really? Is that man really stealing Riana?”

“Or someone else? Zillah asked, smiling.

Alpha Killian turned to Riana and asked her why she was dancing with the male wolf.

“Why are you dancing with another wolf? It is forbidden for a Luna like you,” he said emphatically.

“Why do I need to explain myself to you, Alpha ?” she asked sarcastically.

Riana told him that she was trying to have fun. Alpha Killian chuckled but obviously hurt.

“Hahaha! What kind of question is that? “Alpha Killian asked.

“Well. You are right. I have no right to ask for your explanation, “he added.

The pack cheered when they saw Alpha Killian and Riana embracing each other.

“What’s going on? “One of the female wolves asked them.

Zillah smiled, she had proven her point. Alpha Killian and Riana were still deeply connected and the pack could see it. He declared that Riana was his brother’s Luna and that she will always be respected by all members of the pack. The pack nodded in agreement.

“Stop this drama. Let’s not ruin our night, sweetheart! “Zillah said.

“Did you see how he cared for her Former Luna? “Some of the wolves gossiping.

“I told you she is my brother’s Luna so all male wolves must respect her and hope the females too, “he announced.

“What’s the point?” Zillah asked emphatically.

“Zillah, your Alpha was just proud of her sister-in-law, “Riana laughed.

“He was probably drunk. Haha!” she chuckled.

Alpha Killian was so annoyed to hear it but Riana was just defending herself from issues.

“I think I need to take a rest now, Zillah. I’m already drunk.” She said goodbye.

“Just enjoy your night, Alpha and beloved Luna“She smiled and left.

As she left the party, she realized that she was still an outsider, but at least she had been given a chance to prove her worth to the pack.
