The Perfect Luna by Marissa Gilbert

Chapter 30. The Night

bedside table for her cell and had to close his eyes as the thoughts of what he wanted to do

with her crowded his mind, driving out the rest of his rationality.

“Brayden?” he heard her surprised voice and his heart sunk as he sat on the bed,

watching her. Jealousy was not new to him anymore. Every time he thought of her husband, all

he wanted was to rip his head off and be done with it. Only that he had no right to. The Alpha hadn’t offended him in any way, he played by the rules. If he killed him now, the uprising would have their martyr to put on posters. Especially if he took his wife afterwards.

No, he had to do this right. Too many people depended on him.

And Riannon… He wasn’t sure that she would appreciate him doing things by force. Some she-wolves were into this. But she didn’t look like the kind.

He had to repeat to himself again and again that her wolf would be back soon. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)And then she would know. And even if the wolf wouldn’t return, he would do whatever it took to get her

out of her marriage and make her fall in love with him.

Riannon was annoyed. It was 2 am at night and he had the audacity to call her. If he cared, he could do that during the day. But he didn’t. He just threw a tantrum prior and that

was it.

“What are you doing?” he asked, sounding impatient. “I am sleeping,” she muttered, “What else could I be doing at this hour?!”

“I…” He was not saying anything and then it suddenly occurred to her. Could he sense what she was actually doing with Gideon right now? She bit her lip instinctively.

That was it.

“I missed you, Ri,” he said all of a sudden and she noticed how the lycan king’s eyes flashed gold. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Yet he hadn’t made a sound. He just sat there, clenching his fists and watching

her every move.

“That’s very nice of you,” she replied calmly, “But I am tired, and I want to go back to

sleep. Can we talk tomorrow?”

“How are the lycans?” he ignored her words completely, “Do they treat you well?”

“Well enough. You have nothing to worry about.” Her response was dry and she could sense her husband not being happy about it. “Anyway, I’ll tell you everything when I get back. Right now all I want is sleep.”

“Not yet, Ri,” he growled at her, “I want to talk to my wife more.”

There was silence at the other end of the line, and she hoped that he would end the

conversation first. But, of course, he didn’t.

“Ri, I understand that the situation is not easy. I promise I will handle it. Roxy will behave.
