The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304

“Well, the situation has shifted, and you’re going to have to adjust your thinking accordingly. Jason is right—we have urgent matters to attend to. Get your mind focused because the transition is underway, and I need you sharp,” he said firmly.

I nodded in agreement. He wasn’t wrong, but I couldn’t deny it wouldn’t be easy to accept.

“Take a team and patrol the borders. I want a clear report on how many we’re facing,” my father instructed me calmly as he stood beside me.

For months, there had been skirmishes near our borders, but none had directly impacted us—until today. This morning, one of our young warriors still in training was found dead, displayed as a grim warning on our eastern border. It was an unmistakable threat, though the reason behind it remained a mystery.

The two warriors on duty acknowledged the order with a nod and moved to carry it out. My father glanced at me, and despite his composed exterior, I could see the exhaustion etched beneath his calm demeanor.

“Why now?” I asked quietly. “We’ve maintained peace with all our neighbors throughout my entire life. What could possibly be driving this?”

“You, Elara, my dear,” my mother said as she entered the room, radiating the quiet strength of a goddess. An omega followed her, carrying a tray with the familiar aroma of her favorite tea—lavender and mint—wafting gently ahead. My mother’s preferred way of tackling problems was always with a steaming cup of this soothing blend.

“Why me? What have I done?” I mentally reviewed every recent interaction I’d had with our neighbors. Since turning eighteen, I had accompanied my father to all Alpha meetings and negotiations.

“You’re an unmated Alpha female, sweetheart. When your father is gone, you have the right to lead, but some still believe a woman’s place is beside the Alpha, not as the Alpha. You’ve encountered many males eager to claim the role of Alpha, but you’ve turned down all their advances,” she said, smiling knowingly at me. I hadn’t rejected their advances outright—only their eagerness to become Alpha by marrying me. There was a big difference between the two.

“So, you think this is about me?” I asked, glancing between them as the omega set the tea before me.

“I’m okay with that. Stay close to the pack house for now. There aren’t any major events you need to attend. I want to get a grip on this situation and determine if you’re truly a target,” he replied.

I rolled my eyes but didn’t argue. I had my own ways of gathering information.
