The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 427

83 - Elara

I stand at the door taking everything in. Brianna and Marietta are both muttering under their breath, I assume invoking some kind of charm to protect us all. I have so many questions and my impatience is making me antsy. I have to wait, give her a moment to feel normal and safe, but this is its own form of torture.

I believe Marietta feels the same as me. Not for the same reasons though. She keeps looking at the girl with disbelief. Maybe not understanding how a witch would let something like this happen to herself, or maybe wondering why a wolf would imprison a witch. Whatever it is, she’s confused. I’m not sure what Brianna is thinking. Her poker face is better than my mother’s ever was.

“Your healer is here.” I say as soon as Dev’s link comes through. I need the tension in this room to break. “Are you ready for her, or is there more you need to do to set this room up for Juliette?”

“To keep me prisoner you mean.” It’s a soft insult, but there’s a little bite to her words.

“You have been setting harmful totems around my pack affecting my pups and even my mate for a time. I do not know you, nor do I trust that you won’t try to harm me the second you get a chance.”

“So you’re just going to keep me here, locked up with the help of these two? I can’t believe you would betray your own kind and work with these things.” Again, she’s trying to sound tough and angry, but the words sound wrong coming out of her mouth. She’s regurgitating what she has heard. It doesn’t piss me off any less, but it isn’t her thoughts she’s spouting. Copyright ©️ 2025 Miss L Writes and Ember Mantel Productions

I don’t get the chance to respond when Marietta steps in front of her and grabs her chin. Juliette’s dark green eyes go so wide, I can see lighter green flecks in them.

“Listen good witchling. You do not get to judge what has been done out of necessity. You yourself were caught working with a wolf. Your hypocrisy has been noted. You could be down in a cold, dank cell next to the trash we found you with.” Juliette starts to tremble again. “But, the Alpha of this pack is generous and helpful. You are a danger to all of us, so yes, you will be secluded to this room until we have sufficient answers to our questions.” She lets the witch go, moving to a window, muttering again. I can’t tell if this is another incantation or Marietta calming down.

“Please let your warriors know that we are ready for Gene.” Brianna finally speaks. “Juliette we are going to help you get cleaned up, and Gene is going to examine you for any injuries, and based on your reactions to the wolf you were with and the ones who helped bring you here; I would like Gene to do a thorough internal examination as well, unless you would like to provide that information yourself.”

“What?! What do you mean internal?” She pushes away from us to the head of the bed. Marietta and I have not moved from our positions, Brianna however, is approaching her like a cornered kitten. We need to know the extent his abuse went, or anyone else who had you in captivity. We need to know what we are facing when we do finally find the Ember and Ash coven and any rogue wolves that are working with them.”

The door next to me slowly opens and Gene pokes her head in. She is a matronly woman, soft with age, but strong and energetic. “ Good afternoon, sweetheart. My name is Gene and I’m the healer for the Verdant Coven. Let’s get you all taken care of, shall we?”
