The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306

“Go and talk to Jeremiah,” my dad instructed firmly.

I rubbed my hands over my face, then ran them through my hair in frustration. “What exactly am I supposed to say? Jeremiah is my priority, but Rayna… she’s his weakness.” The weight of the situation was already pressing down on me, and I hadn’t even fully settled into my role yet.

Dad gave me a knowing look. “Your priority has to be what’s best for the pack as a whole. Think about it—what’s better for the pack: what Jeremiah wants or what Rayna wants? They’re newly mated, so emotions are running high and quick to flare. You also have to consider who will be easier to manage if they end up opposing the decision. Remember, it’s not just about them—it’s about the pack’s stability.”

I sighed and nodded, understanding the complexity but still feeling overwhelmed. “I’m going to talk to Jeremiah. I don’t think Rayna would sneak out and follow us, but if she’s anything like Kennedy…” My heart clenched painfully at the thought of Kennedy’s fiery nature, and I had to cough to steady myself. “If they’re anything alike, she’ll show up unannounced, full Luna pride, to stake her claim over Jer right in front of this alpha female.” Dad just nodded silently, choosing not to comment on my hesitation when I mentioned Kennedy’s name.

I stepped into the packhouse and found Luna Beth and Rayna standing at the kitchen island, surrounded by a cloud of flour as they baked some kind of pastry. Their laughter and chatter filled the room. I waved as I passed through, but the only response I got was Rayna pointing sharply toward the media room. Great. Clearly, I was on her bad side by proxy unless I played along with her wishes. Taking a deep breath, I headed toward Jeremiah.

“Dude, your girl is pissed at me now, and I haven’t even done anything yet,” I joked, patting him on the shoulder before sliding onto the couch.

“She hasn’t even been convinced to change her mind,” Rayna called out from the kitchen, laughter ringing from Luna Beth nearby.

I exhaled, trying to keep my cool. “I don’t like you right now,” I muttered. “We need to take a walk, or she won’t let me get a single word in.” Raising my voice a bit, I added, “Especially when I’m here trying to help—since she asked so nicely!” The girls giggled, which at least reassured me that I was on the right path to easing tensions.

Jeremiah stopped walking and lowered his head in frustration. “I hate it when you’re right. Tell Jason and Tommy to gear up, and let your dad, Geoff, and Drake know we’re all heading to Black Claw.”

“Where exactly are you going?” I asked, curious.

“To punish my mate. I need to feel like I’m in control of something in this relationship,” he answered with a small, wry smile as he walked away. I smiled softly to myself, knowing I wouldn’t see him or Rayna again until we left.
