The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 130

Chapter 130

70 – Kennedy

It’s official—I’ve landed myself in what can only be described as the twilight zone. Just yesterday, I was holed up in the packhouse, desperately avoiding everyone. I wasn’t sure who was allowed to speak to me and who might face consequences just for looking my way. Boredom crept in so deeply that I seriously considered getting a portable electric fence to create a bubble of personal space around myself.

Danny and Bennet have been so glued to me lately that I’m beginning to think we might actually merge into one being. My world has shrunk to nothing more than the short walk between the library and the bathroom. We’ve even shared lunch right here, in this cramped space. Bennet kindly sparked a small fire in the fireplace, and though I’m not exactly freezing, the gentle warmth feels comforting. The crackling of the fire provides a soothing background hum that fills the room.

I glance over my shoulder toward the black leather couch nestled in the corner of the library. “Don’t you have an actual job to do?” I ask Danny, who’s lazily flipping through a magazine, humming a tune through his nose that sounds suspiciously like a kazoo. “I thought, as the ‘lead warrior,’ you’d be leading something.”

He shrugs, not looking up. “Not when I need to get to know my Luna. I have to understand your habits, your wants, and your needs so we can figure out a better protection plan for when you start visiting other territories in the pack.”

I cock an eyebrow at him. “Isn’t that Bennet’s job? And even if I’m in another part of the pack, I won’t just be holed up in a room reading. The whole point is to actually meet and interact with the pack members, right?” My gaze shifts to Bennet, who’s buried nose-deep in a book, completely absorbed.

Danny snorts. “He’s been stalking you since you arrived, but he can’t give me the kind of intel I need. So, it’s up to me to do the hard work, no matter what activities you choose.”

“Hard labor, my ass,” Bennet mutters, tossing a book at Danny. Danny catches it with lightning-fast reflexes and then winks at me, raising his eyebrows in a cheeky challenge. I have to bite back a smile.

“Research isn’t really my thing,” Danny admits, setting the book down on the coffee table in front of him. “You’re the sexy nerd in this scenario.”

“Did you just call me sexy?” Bennet shakes his head with a smirk. “The sooner we find the answers the alpha needs, the sooner Kennedy can be marked and officially inducted into the pack. Personally, I want to know if she’ll be able to mindlink with us once she’s marked. Do you realize how much it’ll drive the boss crazy if you can talk to her without even opening your mouth? And once she’s a full Luna, maybe our mates will finally show up.”

Danny bursts out laughing. “I never thought of that!” He snatches the book and starts skimming through the pages.

A sharp knock interrupts us.

“Come on in, Robin. You know you don’t have to knock, right?”

The large mahogany door slides open silently. Robin steps inside, shivering just a little. “Until I can mindlink, I’ll keep knocking,” she replies quietly. Now I’m curious—who scared her so badly?

“The alpha wants to see you in his office, Luna,” she says.

“You could always just text me,” I tease, waving my phone at her. “Do you know what he needs? I really want to get through a few more questions today.” I lift the heavy book again, determined to find the answers we all need.
