The Perfect Luna

Chapter 60: OUTfoxed.



She stared at him in astonishment. Was he even serious right now?
“I am going to repeat my question, Riannon,” Brayden growled, “What have you
done to my mate?!”
“What have I done to your mate?” She shot her brow up at her ex, “Your so-
called mate has just killed Dean.”
She felt tears burning her eyes again, but she was not going to give him the
satisfaction of seeing her crying in front of him. Not even for Dean. Brayden did
not deserve to see her cry.
“That’s a lie!” her ex-husband gritted through her teeth,(This novel will be daily

that?! She is just a weak omega! She can’t hurt a fly!”
“We have about a dozen witnesses, Bray!” she stopped him, and his mouth
opened in shock, “She is hardly an omega! Moreover, she isn’t even a wolf! She
is a god damn fox!”
He stared at her bluntly, lost in his thoughts and not knowing what to say. But
then he clenched his fists and looked the crowd that came with her up and down.
His own warriors were by his side already.
“And I guess those wonderful and very reliable witnesses of yours are the lycans
next to you? How convenient! Maybe also Maya the traitor?”
She slapped him. Hard. She knew that this was the last thing that was needed
right now to get what she wanted, but it felt so good.
“Don’t you dare!” she warned him, “The only traitor in our pack was always your
fake mate!”
“It’s not our pack anymore,” he smirked, “Remember, you ruined that earlier
today?”

“I saved what I could from you and your fox!” she snapped at her ex again. For
the first time ever she felt like she really hated him. Onyx, who was growling
inside of her, wasn’t helping to calm down either. In their past life, he hurt her the
most and she still couldn’t forgive him.
“How fortunate for you!” Brayden chuckled, “Riannon the saviour! When I do
something, it’s because I am selfish. But when you do something, it’s for the
common good!”
“That’s what happens when people think of others, Brayden. You should try that
one day, ” she scoffed, folding her hands on her chest, “I demand you to give me
Roxanne. I need just a minute with her and I will be able to prove to you who she
is! Now that I know the truth. And then I will kill her with my own hands for
everything that she has done!”
“I am tired of repeating myself,” Bray rubbed the bridge of his nose, letting out an
“Useless!” Ria mumbled to herself, rolling her eyes. The fox won’t come back
here. Not when her identity was discovered.
Now that she thought about it, she understood what a silly idea that was. But in
the heat of the moment, she wasn’t thinking clearly, and this fiasco was the
result.
“Let’s go,” she commanded to her people, turning away.
“Not so fast!” Brayden grabbed her hand but in the next moment, (This novel will

wall of the mansion. It all happened so fast that the guards from both sides didn’t
even have time to react.
“You touch her like that again and I will rip your head off,” the lycan king growled,
squeezing his fingers around his opponent’s neck, “Not only is she and Alpha of
her own pack now, but she is also my queen. Do something like this again and it
will be your death sentence! And you will be lucky if it’s you alone. Because if you

piss me off properly one more time, might as well wipe out what is left of your
pack! Not that there is a lot.”
“Gideon,” Riannon brushed her hand over her mate’s back, soothing him,
“Please, don’t.”
He sighed heavily and let go of Brayden with a huff. The alpha almost fell to his
feet but managed to lean over the wall for support.
“You came to my territory! You did something to my mate!” he started listing the
things he thought actually happened.
“Your mate?” Gideon chuckled loudly, “Are you even serious?! Haven’t you lost
her? AGAIN. Do you even know that it is physically impossible to lose a mate or
to forget about her? I hate to be the one who breaks it to you, Alpha Brayden, but
you don’t have a mate. I mean, maybe you do, somewhere in the world and one
day you will meet her. But that fox isn’t the one.”
“She is not...” Bray tried to protest.
“She is a fox!” Riannon cut him off, “And she also works with the werebears. I
don’t know how she convinced you that she is your mate, but I also really doubt
that it’s the truth. Just think about it, Brayden.”
Her ex-husband looked at her with clenched lips and fists and she had no idea if
he believed them. But neither did she care anymore. It was his problem and not
hers.
She knew that the next time she would meet Roxy, she would be the one to kill
her. Because her patience was wearing thin. She only regretted that she hadn’t
done it sooner.
“Let’s go, Riannon,” Gideon wrapped his hands around her and looked her in the
eye, “I don’t think she will come back here. She is not that stupid.”
“Yeah,” his queen nodded and followed his lead back to the car.

Brayden’s warriors got closer now that the lycans were gone but he pushed them
away and went inside of the mansion.
He watched his ex-wife being cared for by the lycan king in front of his eyes and
the sight still made him shudder inside. But on top of it, the news of his mate was
breaking him.
He didn’t even notice how she disappeared. And, of course, there was a simple
and reasonable explanation for that. He was busy. With his pack being broken in
half and with the move. So much had to be arranged in such a short period of
time that he forgot about her completely...
Was it normal? Could it even be happening? (This novel will be daily updtaed at
www.noveljar.com)The lycan had a point... How could one forget about his
mate?
Riannon used to be his chosen mate but he never forgot about her. Even now,
after everything, he was still thinking about her more than she deserved it. His
thoughts today were busy with her when he had to pay attention to his true
mate...
He called his top warrior, Jacob, first and promoted him to a Beta dryly, then
ordered to find out what happened to his mate.
“Find video footage from the grounds, a trace, her scent... whatever. I want to
find out if she walked out of here herself or was kidnapped,” he told the guy and
looked him in the eye,“ Be discreet about it. Until I know what happened here
exactly, I don’t want anyone to know a thing.”
“Yes, Alpha,” Jacob bowed politely and walked out.
Brayden did not count on him finding out much about it. He wasn’t Ash. His
previous Beta had an eye for details that everyone else missed. He paid attention
and knew how to stay in the shadows, unnoticed.

Jacob... wasn’t it. He was one of his best warriors, but not a match to his old
friend. The same way as Roxy wasn’t a match to Riannon. No matter how much
he tried to imagine that she was.
Was it possible that she was a fox? He never asked her to shift. Mostly because
he thought that she was an omega and was embarrassed about others seeing
that the Moon mate?
That thought scared him. Because then he lost Riannon for nothing.
Everybody knew that foxes could change their scents, so theoretically speaking,
if Roxy was a fox, she could fake the scent of his mate. But for that, she would
need to know that scent ... Moreover, the scent alone wasn’t the problem. The
bond was. No fox could fake that. So, why did he want the redhead all the time?
He wasn’t a manwh*re. Lust wasn’t what he lived for and he knew very well how
to control himself.
So, what would happen there if Roxanne wasn’t his mate? Could there be a
different explanation for everything? That did not seem likely. Unless witches
were involved. But that was also a far cry. Love spells did not exist. And
werewolves were resistant to any kind of spell-infused mind manipulation.
He couldn’t find an answer no matter how hard he tried.
After he dealt with all the urgent matters, he closed himself alone in his office with
a bottle of brandy.
Usually, Ash would join him for this with a conversation that would help
everything to get into the right places. Until Riannon came to end it with an even
better solution.
And then she would take him to bed...
But now all of this was over...

He took a deep gulp of the fiery liquid, feeling it burn his throat. However, it did
not make anything better.
His fingers ended up rubbing the mark on his neck again, which was bothering
him. It did not disappear. Even though he didn’t feel pain through it anymore. His
bond with Riannon was broken now. And it was even more painful than when she
was in the lycan’s bed.
The knock on the door broke his train of thought and his new Beta walked in with
the laptop.
“Alpha,” he said, “I think you need to see this...”
Roxanne was driving fast. She couldn’t let anyone catch up with her.
Today she f*cked up big time and she knew it. Castiel would never forgive her for
destroying his perfect plan this early and for losing that many people. The bear
king wouldn’t be happy either her group. Always.
She wouldn’t come to her king empty-handed. She would bring him the peace
offering.
She parked right next to the packhouse in the Fox kingdom and walked out of the
car. She knew she couldn’t go inside. And she wasn’t wrong about it, because
when Castiel walked out of the mansion, he looked furious.
He didn’t even let her say a word before he grabbed her neck and jerked her up
in the air. Her legs trembled, not finding any kind of support and she felt his grip
getting tighter and restricting her airways.
“You are either super brave to come here after what you have done, or you are
super stupid!” her king growled. In other circumstances, she would enjoy that
sound. But not now.
Now, he wasn’t playing with her. He was ready to kill her any moment now for her
mistakes.

“You failed your mission, couldn’t fix it and then only made it worse from there!
You blew our cover and had my men killed!” Castiel continued, “You almost cost
me this war! Tell me, Roxanne, why shouldn’t I snap your neck this very
moment? I don’t think I need to keep such a disappointment as you!”
One of his eyes glowed red and her toes curled. That man was always her main
weakness.
“I brought you something!” she croaked, hoping to appease him, (This novel will
be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)“It will help...” He watched her for a few
seconds and after that swore loudly, dropping her to the floor.
“This better be good!” he spat and she crawled in the direction of the car trunk.
Roxy stood up on shaky legs, trying to make her breathing steady, but failing.
She hated to be so weak in front of him. He hated weakness...
She found the key in the pocket of her jeans and opened the trunk,
demonstrating to him her little present and praying that this was enough...
