The Abused Luna's Comeback

205 The New Luna?

[Mona’s P.O.V.]

When the time came, I decided to stay in my guest room.

Jane was with me, initially holding my hand. But now, she was pacing back and forth impatiently. I knew she was afraid that I would be sad, but to be honest, I felt empty inside right now.

It seemed that Edward didn’t want me to hear about the gathering, so he arranged for it to be in the space behind the castle instead of the one in front of the castle. But he forgot that I was a Werewolf of Chaos so my hearing allowed me to hear clearly even from this distance.

After a while, it seemed that the gathering was about to begin.

“Family representatives of the pack members.” It was Patrick’s voice. “I am standing here on behalf of Sunset Pack, Alpha, Edward Lancaster. I have an announcement to make. In the near future, Alpha will marry a member of the pack: Emily. B. Goodall. She will become the pack’s new Luna. She had once saved him from death. Even though she isn’t a perfect person, Alpha is willing to fulfill the promise he made to her, accept her, and teach Emily etiquette, thoughts, and actions to help her become a qualified Luna. This is a great time for the Lancaster family and a great time for Sunset Pack. Know, obey, and now, pass this message on to all your family members.”

As soon as he finished, the crowd began to murmur.

‘D*mn, it was a good thing this was short and cryptic, or I would have kicked Edward in the ass.’

I almost laughed when I heard Patrick’s thoughts. And even though I knew this was all an act, I couldn’t help myself from feeling a little sad.

When Patrick announced that Edward was going to marry Emily and make her Luna, a lot of thoughts suddenly flew into my head from different pack members.

‘Oh, my God! What is Alpha thinking? Making that stupid woman Emily Luna?’

‘It turns out what that woman told me was true. Why wasn’t I the lucky one?’

‘It was the worst decision Alpha ever made. How could Simon’s daughter be Luna? She’s just an uncultured and an unclassy b*tch!’

‘This is the biggest news ever! I’m gonna share it with my friends right now. It’s Edward Lancaster we’re talking about!’

‘I’d rather that mistress Mona be Luna than Emily. She’s worse than a mistress.’

‘That b*stard Emily actually did it! I need her to get Noah to marry me as soon as possible now.’

Oh, that’s what Eve the elf thought.

‘How long has Luna Rose been gone? This is outrageous!’

‘Our Alpha’s brain is broken. He has a wife and a mistress at the same time. His heart is corrupted by desire. Our pack is doomed.’

I shook my head as I kept more thoughts out of my head. I knew that the next few days wouldn’t be easy for me until Nicholas arrived.

However, my heart ached even more for Edward. He was suffering a lot of criticism because of this plan. I didn’t want everyone to look down on him or even hurt him in their thoughts, not even for a moment.

I stood up, and Jane followed me as well.

“Mona, I also protested to Alpha. But he thought that this was the best way to lure that demon to take the bait. A pack might go all out for their Luna, but if it was just an annoying Omega, this might not happen.

“Although the plan has begun, I’m still very dissatisfied with the damage he has done to you,” she added.

“Jane, Edward didn’t hurt me,” I told her. “He’s the Alpha of this pack. He’s doing what he thinks is right, and he’s doing it to protect the pack. He’s also protecting Phil and me.”

“I know, but this has put you through something you shouldn’t have. Everyone will think that another woman has replaced Rose and won against you. I feel sorry for you.”

“Emily will get what she deserves. The higher she climbs, the harder she will fall. Also, promise me that you will support Edward’s decision. He has considered it carefully and so has the Council of Elders.”

“Though I might not be happy with the plan, of course I will support him. As for Emily, I can’t wait for her to die. She is a disaster. However, if she was tortured to death by vampires, that would be good too. I even hope that the Council of Elders’ reinforcements will arrive later. I want to be part of the execution.”

I smiled at Jane. I was only calm on the surface, but I felt a little sour inside. It was my most instinctive psychological and physical reaction because I loved that man even though I knew it was all an act.

I walked over to the crib in the room and held Phil in my arms.

My son was sleeping soundly. I didn’t know what he was dreaming about but his long eyelashes were fluttering slightly as a smile spread across his face. He was very cute, his facial features a complete replica of Edward’s.

“Baby, no evil can harm you, your father, and this pack. I will definitely stand up for you.”

Yes, everyone was making their final preparations, including myself.
