The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 344

Chapter 344

22 – Ben

An hour had clearly not been enough time for Doc Jensen to identify the mysterious substances. The mixture was far more complex than anyone initially suspected. Nearly a week had passed since the discovery, and Jensen made it a point to update us every single day. His findings revealed a dangerous cocktail: Wolfsbane, Foxglove, Belladonna, Mandrake Root, and Datura. Each of these components carried its own deadly potential, capable of harming both humans and wolves alike. On top of these, there were traces of human drugs mixed in, making the situation even more dire. With such a lethal combination, the kids involved stood no chance of survival.

“Miss Elara’s poor teenager was likely exposed to either Datura or Mandrake powder,” Doc Jensen explained, rubbing his hands together as he recounted his analysis. “Both can cause hallucinations and severe disorientation. In this concentration, if it touched his skin, it could trigger a fatal reaction—stopping his heart instantly. If it was in liquid form, then Wolfsbane and Belladonna would act as powerful sedatives.” His brow furrowed with concern. “What worries me most is the concentration level. Even a tiny amount contacting the skin is enough to be deadly.”

“Thanks for the update, Jensen,” Alpha James said, rising from his seat. “We need to call a meeting. Let’s go, everyone.” Without waiting for a response, he strode out of the room, his tone urgent.

We all followed him back to the pack house. Alpha James’s office was already crowded with the current leaders and those destined to lead in the future, along with their mates. Jeremiah was holding Rayna close, never once breaking contact since we received Doc Jensen’s report at the hospital. The tension in the room was palpable.

“We have more answers than we did yesterday, but still, more questions remain,” Alpha James began, his voice steady but grave. “We will continue working closely with Red Fang and Black Claw. Our three packs seem to be the primary targets. I’ve spoken with other Alphas, and they are on high alert as well.” He paused, scanning the room. “I’m ordering all of you to travel to Dark Moon.”

A chorus of protests erupted from Tommy, Jason, Jer, and me. Alpha James raised his hands, signaling for silence.

Jason finally spoke up, concern etched on his face. “Should she really be traveling right now, sir? The healers said she might deliver early. Aren’t we too close to her due date? What if she goes into labor on the road? Wouldn’t it be safer to keep her here?”

Rayna cut in sharply, her voice firm and unwavering. “She’s not missing Kennedy’s birthday or her Luna ceremony. My brother has finally stopped resisting—I’m going. And frankly, I’m tired of having my food and water tested here. It’s making me anxious, and that’s no good for the babies. I need to leave while you all sort this out.” Her gaze locked on her Gamma, who didn’t argue but looked longingly out the window, reluctant to leave.

“It’s settled,” Alpha James declared. “Get packed. I’m not sure how long you’ll be gone, so plan for at least a couple of weeks. The boys will travel back and forth as needed.” He turned to Luna Beth and quietly pulled her from the room.

With that, the meeting was dismissed.
