From Rougue To Luna novel Chapter 27

"You trained well today. If I knew any better I'd say you'd done this before." Weston smirked down at me as his hands pressed against the wall on either side of my shoulders, caging me in front of him.

"So you were watching me then?" I said with a smirk.

He nodded and leaned forward. "Hard not to watch Soleil get her ass handed to her." He said with a wink. "Not many can get her to surrender like you did. I can't wait to see how you improve, if you choose to join us that is."

I shifted, uncomfortable with his closeness and nodded, giving him a small smile. "Well I'd better go get ready, speaking of tonight."

I stepped to move away from him, but his hand dropped to my waist, pulling me closer to him. He leaned down and whispered, his lips brushing against my skin. "I for one would love for you to join. I wouldn't hate having you around every day you know."

"Oh. Um...thank you Weston." I quickly ducked under his arm and stepped back, giving him a small smile. "I'm sure I'll see you around tonight." I said and turned, walking quickly to make my way back into the pack house and down the hall to my room.

As soon as I shut the door, I took a calming breath, leaning back against it. The feel of Weston's hand on me lingered in my mind and the distaste grew in the back of my mind as the memory of his lips on my ear surfaced. It wasn't that I didn't find him attractive. Quite the contrary actually. He was gorgeous. But the weight of the mate bond far proceeded any surface level attraction to Weston.

Even without the mate bond, I could plainly see that Rhett was the most handsome man I'd ever seen. The way he was beginning to affect me was unnerving and that was without the finality of the completion of the bond. I couldn't imagine how it would feel after. But was I willing to find out? Could I come around to letting someone in again?

I nodded and stepped into the hall, shutting my door behind me. "Let's go then." I said and fell into step with him as we made our way to Rhett's office. "So who is visiting?"

He huffed a discontented sigh and wrinkled his nose in distaste. "A couple of members from the Shadow pack. Their Beta arrived along with their Delta to discuss some issues with Alpha. They just showed up, which is not how things are usually done here. He was not happy, but he had no choice but to hear them out. Don't worry though. He'll be finished in time. He's actually finishing up now. They should be gone by the time we get there."

My chest tightened anxiously at the thought of the Shadow Pack's presence here. Thankfully, it was only the Beta and Delta, but what if they knew something. What if they knew who my father was, if it indeed was their Alpha. My heart quickened and I tried to regulate my breathing, but I know Asher heard it.
