The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 325

Chapter 325

11 – Elara

I might regret even entertaining this thought if anyone ever found out, but honestly, I’m relieved my dad brought in the Silver Crescent team. These guys are incredibly sharp, and the way they collaborate is impressive. My main issue is that the beta never had children. Jeff once had a family, but something happened—something no one talks about. Even my dad either won’t or can’t tell me what it was. Sebastian and his mate just welcomed a pup, but he’s only a year old. I’ve never experienced the kind of tight-knit friendships these men share as leaders. The closest I have is with Jaxon and Devon. Even Rayna has been a huge help. As an alpha-born female and soon-to-be luna of the Crescent Moon pack, she’s been training to lead her entire life, much like me. However, her training has been broader since she didn’t know who her mate would be or what her role as a mate might entail.

“So,” Jeremiah broke the silence, glancing up from the map spread out before us, showing my pack’s territory and the borders around it. “I think the real issue lies here,” he said, pointing to a spot along our eastern border. “The Alpha over at Red Fang is really young—like sixteen or so. I haven’t worked with him much, but I know his father passed away last year, and he had to step up early, kind of like Ryker.” Jeremiah’s eyes flicked toward his mate, as if that detail held some deeper meaning.

“Who’s Ryker?” Dev asked, and I was grateful for the question. I’m familiar with most of the alphas in nearby packs and even some beyond them, but there are so many it’s hard to keep track. Our pack is relatively small and self-sufficient, so we don’t engage much in trade or dealings with packs farther away. Ryker isn’t a common name, so it’s easy to forget.

“My brother,” Rayna answered quietly, and the room instantly felt colder, as if a shadow had passed over us. “He’s the Alpha of Dark Moon.”

“Oh wow!”

“No way!”

I love Jax and Dev, but this kind of support system is addictive. So many ideas and perspectives brought to the table. Each of these men is so different, and I appreciate how comfortable they are letting Rayna share her thoughts without hesitation. What would it be like to have my own full team one day?

“We should check the western border,” Jax said, sitting up straighter. “We’ve been focusing on the east side, and if they’re trying to distract us, their plan is working perfectly.”

I nodded, feeling the weight of the situation settle over us all. The battle was far from over.
