The Pack's Luna: The Pack Series Book 4 novel Chapter 53

Henry

It takes everything in me not to growl when Piper tells me her brother emptied her account. I was struggling to let her buy me dinner, I knew it was important to her, and her brother took that away from her.

“I can’t fucking believe it,” she says.

Honestly, I’m not surprised, not after seeing how arrogant Glenn and Grady were. If I’d been thinking more clearly, I’d have told her to transfer her money out of that account, but Grady probably emptied the account as soon as they left the Academy, so it wouldn’t have mattered. We would have just known sooner.

“We’ll get your money back, Piper, and I meant what I said to Councilman Edward. I have no problem paying for the Academy. For me, it’s not about the money, it’s about their arrogance and thinking that they can try to force you home against your will,” I say as we walk out of the restaurant.

I pull my phone up to my face. “Hacker, call me,” I growl.

open Piper’s door and when she gets in the car, I put the phone up to my face again.

“Hacker, call me.”

I get in the car and start it, putting the phone to up to my face again. “Hacker…”

When it rings with an unknown number, I answer immediately.

“Hacker?”

“You know I’m not actually listening in all the time right?

It takes a second for me to get the notification, then see if you’re really talking about me. It’s illegal to listen in to someone’s phone indiscriminately,” he says.

“Fine. We have a problem.”

“I figured. What’s up?”

“Grady emptied Piper’s account,” I tell him.

“Hang on,” he says. I hear a lot of typing. “Is Piper with yOu?”

“I’m here.”

“Do you give Hijack and I permission to hack into your bank account?” he asks.

“Yes.”

“We’re on our way back to the Academy. We’ll be there in about fifteen minutes,” I say.

“Come to my room when you get back. We’ll give you an update when you arrive.”

“See you in a few.”hang up and dial Q.

“Brother, aren’t you with Piper?”

“Yes,” I growl and tell him about Grady.

“Foolish of him. Have you notified the council?”

“Not yet. We called Hacker. He and Hijack are tracking it right now.”

“Let me know if we’re going to war. I’ll call Connor and Warren.”

“Thanks, Q.”

“You know I love the opportunity to kill assholes,” he growls before hanging up.

“They’ll really go to war? Just like that?” Piper asks.

“Yes. And we would do the same for them. That’s why the alliance agreement with Yorick and Cyra isn’t necessary for me. It’s a formality for the council to know who is allied with whom. But, I’m pretty sure they know we’re allied already.”

As we drive, I realize my mate is unusually quiet. I take her hand and pull it to my lips.

“I’m sorry your brother ruined our date. I know that buying me dinner was important to you. I promise l let you make it up to me, but I was loving our night and the restaurant you chose for us before that,” I tell her. “I feltspecial. No one has ever bought dinner for me before,’ say.

She turns and looks at me, anger and sadness warring in her eyes. “No one has bought you dinner now either.”

“But it was the thought that counts, Piper. You cared enough to WANT to show me how much you love me, and that means everything to me. This is temporary. Don’t let it interfere with your studies.”

“I want to call him,” she growls.

“Oh please, allow me,” I growl back.

She smiles, dials, and hands me her phone, putting it on speaker.

The asshole answers on the second ring.

“Piper? Ready to come home?” he asks smugly.

“Grady, this is Alpha Henry and Piper won’t be coming to your pack ever again,” I growl. “Her home is now in my pack.”

He snarls.

“Let me guess. You weren’t expecting me to be around, were you? You thought since she was at the Academy this week and l’d be in my pack that you could try to intimidate her into returning to your pack. Well, you were wrong. You messed with the wrong Alpha and I’m not talking about me. I’m talking about Piper. She’s a strong,powerful woman with strong, powerful allies. copied from job{nib.{c-om I warned you not to mess with one of mine, but you were too fucking arrogant to listen. Well, you fucked with the wrong Alphas. I will be bringing the full force of the law and the council down on you, your father, and anyone else who is involved in this. Fuck with Piper again, and I will consider it an act of war,” I say, before hitting the disconnect button.

I stare out the windshield at the Academy’s parking lot, panting with my fury.

“Do you know how much I want you right now?” Piper says. I turn and frown at her, shocked by her words.

“That was so fucking hot. No one has ever stood up for me Like that before. I’m not sure any of the good Alphas that! know would have said what you did, empowering me against my brother like that.”

I growl, getting out of the car and going around to get her.

“We don’t have long,” I growl, taking her hand and leading her inside.

“As if it ever takes me long to come when you’re inside me,”. she growls back.

We barely make it to her bedroom before we’re shredding each other’s clothes and I’m slamming into her soaking wet heat, making her come almost instantly. I don’t stop, not caring who hears her as I push her from one orgasm to the next, roughly thrusting into her until I find my ownrelease. When my canines extend, I bite into her shoulder, making her come again as I push her through her orgasm as she claws my back, sinking her own teeth into my shoulder.

When I pull out of her, licking the wound on her shoulder closed, I help her to her feet. “There will be more of that later,” I say, not yet having had my fill of my mate.
