The Last Royal Luna

“Your mother would be so happy for you Ryder. Asher was a treat to have around. We were sad he didn’t find his mate here because his suggestions on different pack problems were great.” The former Alpha’s statement was happy but his smile didn’t really reach his eyes.

“So when will your brother be coming here to see if his mate is here?” The mystery lady asked as she eyed Andrew and Blake. I had to block out Blue so I didn’t see the images of the girl’s nose being broken for staring at what was ours.

“I am Andrew, Asher’s brother, and I already found my mate.” Andrew announced, “We have all found our mate recently, in fact.”

“Hi I am Blake. Asher, Andrew, and I found our mate on the same day.” Blake nodded. I could feel tension coming from the other side of the table and it was worrying me just a tad bit. I wonder if they knew my mother had more than one mate or did she hide it from the rest of the wolves for safety concerns. Were the boys right in hiding us? I hated feeling like a secret and I knew mentally I couldn’t handle that.

Knox introduced both himself and his brother while mentioning they both found their shared mate. They did have to explain the shared mate thing a bit coming from twins who always had a shared mate. The look on the mystery woman’s face when she heard they shared a mate was pure l**t and want. She is going to search out twins now, I bet.

“Your mates are so lucky to have such strong Alpha’s who are sweet enough to help Ryder out. I bet they miss you. How are you all holding up being away from them?” The Luna gushed as she got excited about new mating’s and new families. Blake’s parents were the same way even after hearing how many mates I had and will have. I just hope this pack and every pack will act the same way.

‘I am so sorry I didn’t say anything at the diner. From the reaction you had when I was honest about you being my mate I know I screwed up royally. Get it royally?’ Asher’s attempt at a joke almost fell flat but it did make me laugh a little plus it distracted me from the answers the boys were about to give.

‘I wonder how more people don’t know how cheesy you are. Thank you for publicly claiming me. I know you did it out of safety concerns but I felt like I was stabbed in the heart when you all lied about your mates.’ Blue purred to make me feel better and she let me know how she was nervous about their answers, too.

“Thank you, Luna. We would do anything to help Ryder to take back what is ours. Not only for that reason but because Ryder is also my mate.” Blake confessed and I felt my heart start to piece back together. They chose my feelings and me over what they thought was best.

“But she is Asher’s mate?” The mystery woman exclaimed. I really should ask her name but I really did not care to know it. After dinner I planned on not seeing her again. She didn’t seem that important to the Alpha since he barely looked at her.

“A royal has multiple mates. The number depends on her strength and power. Ryder is very strong.” Blake smiled at her.

“That’s correct. Ryders mother had multiple mates as well. She just didn’t show that to the public. We didn’t even know until the Alpha ball right after we became the leaders here. She walked out with all her mates and made the announcement about them. It was our choice to tell our packs or not. She just wanted to live her life happily and take care of everyone like a queen should.” The former Alpha looked at the mystery woman before looking at me.

“I just found out recently she had a few mates. A friendly witch told me I would have six or seven.” I waited for the look of disgust or the cringes but only the mystery woman seemed upset. “Also I feel like I have been rude. I didn’t introduce myself to you.” I looked straight at her waiting for her to deny me her name or her business there.

“Oh I am so sorry, Princess. This is my sister’s adopted daughter, Karen, she is visiting us to see if she can find her mate in our pack and learn what it takes to be a Luna. So far no luck.” The former Lune smile at her. Of course this b***h was a damn Karen.

“It is ok. It is nice to meet you, Karen. Are you going to be Luna? I am self taught in leadership roles for wolves but I prefer the work an Alpha does with a small amount of Luna duties.” I winked at the guys and they laughed at me.

“So your more masculine? Are you sure your witch friend was telling the truth about your number of mates?” Her eye brow lifted as she giggled like she was innocent but I already knew better. I could see Roger getting upset but I just shook my head at him. “I will be a Luna. Everyone can just tell from the way I hold myself, the way I look, and the party planning I excel at.”

“Are you saying a Luna’s only duty is to party plan?” Her face gasped realizing what she had said previously. “It is ok. I get it. I have royal b***d so ruling is just a part of me and the role an Alpha has is more of that. A Luna is like a mother to the pack and I am not a patient person so I fail at numerous things when it comes to those duties.”

“I know that. I didn’t mean anything by the party planning thing.” She flipped her hair and look at Andrew. “So is your mate a Luna and actually do her duties?” Stupid, Stupid little girl.

“Karen lose the attitude toward our guests now.” Roger growled. “I am sorry for her.” He looked at all of us.

“It is ok, Alpha Roger. Karen, my mate is Ryder as well so she does more of the Alpha position and the rest of us pitch in where we can.” Andrew replied running his hands through his hair so I knew he was nervous. That was his tell.

“WHAT?? Are you all mated to that slut?” She stood up so fast her seat went flying back. I think we have a jealous, attention seeker in our mists.

“Call our mate that again and I don’t care if you are female. I will rip your throat out.” Knox growled out while holding onto his cup so hard it broke into tiny pieces.

“Karen, go to your room NOW. This behavior is unacceptable. I just thank the goddess you didn’t end up being my mate because this would make me reject you.” Damn go Alpha.

“We are sorry for springing this on you, Alpha Roger. We are all mated to Ryder and she still have two more mates out there. I hope you and your pack can accept it for as long as we are here.” Kane asked he looked at me with a smile.

They all claimed me and from the feelings I could tell no one regrated it . Oh thank you Goddess. I feel so much better, and my heart is almost in one piece again. I just hoped that the next pack we see it doesn’t go down like this again. I may tie them naked to a tree slathered in honey so a bear could tear them to pieces since it is what they have done to me.
