The Unwanted Luna

Chapter 20



Amelia

"Whatever it is you think I did, I didn't do it" are the first words that come out of my mouth when I see the angry look on Xavier's face.

I try to rack my brain but come up empty.I honestly don't know why the hell he was angry.

All I wanted right now was to check up on Tristan and then possibly sleep till the next day. Maybe then I would wake up and find myself in my kingdom instead of this pack.

Xavier just continues glaring at me and growling from deep within his throat and to be honest I hate it since it takes me back to those times when he would be mad at me for one thing or another but mostly something that concerned Bianca. I hate that with just that one angry look I feel small like I did back then. "Are you going to speak or just stare at me as if you want to murder me?" I glared at him.

It was beginning to look ridiculous how I was trying to talk to him but he just stared daggers at me for no apparent reason.

"You know what? I am done...I am not going to stand your bullshit anymore, so see ya!" I snapped then teleported to my room.

Damn I really love my powers, they really come in handy when you need them.

"Amelia!" I hear him roar a few seconds after I have reached my room.

The good thing is that the protective runes were still in place so he couldn't enter my room even if he tried.

I enchant the room again but this time with a silence rune which cancels out any type of noise.

With a satisfied smile on my face I join Tristan who is still out cold, falling asleep not long after my head hits the pillow.

When I wake up, at first I am confused about where I am but soon everything crashes into me making me wince. I had truly hoped that I would wake up back in my castle but that's not the case.

Checking the alarm clock on the bedside table I see that it is past nine which meant that both Tristan and I needed to wake up so that we could get something to eat.

"Tristan baby, wake up sweetie" I called gently but didn't get a response from him so I tried again.

I had to give it a try like three times before he finally woke up all groggy and cute, making me give him a kiss on the forehead. He was the best part of me and I loved him so much that it hurt. "Let's get you something to eat, alright?"

"Then I can sleep after? With you" he asks, still rubbing his eyes.

I may be biased because he was my son but damn, he was going to be a ladies man when he grows up.

You could already tell he was going to be really handsome with his jet black hair and green eyes. He would leave a string of broken hearts in his wake.

"Yes, you will, now come on hurry up" I reassure him just as he jumps from my bed and takes my hand.

We leave my room and head downstairs towards the kitchen. Unlike when I came back from my visit with Nolan, the hallways were teeming with people. They stared but I just ignored them, I wasn't here to be their next topic for gossip. You could see the toll the earlier events had on them and you could easily identify the people that lost loved ones. They looked lost, almost like a part of them died too.

I would have comforted them, like I could see some of their pack members tried to do but the part of me that died when I threw myself off the cliff.

We finally make it to the kitchen and it's a flurry of events. The omegas were everywhere cooking and serving.

Tristan lets go of my hand and goes to one of his friends while I go to the fridge and get the ingredients I need to make us something to eat.

The pack house has a large kitchen so I could cook up whatever it is I wanted without any of the others getting in my way, but that didn't stop them from staring.

The kitchen was connected to a large dining room so I was getting looks from both the omegas in the kitchen and the other pack members in the dining room. The way they kept throwing looks my way was honestly starting to get on my nerves and piss me off.

"Do you have nothing else to do other than stare at me?!" I snapped banging the pan on the kitchen countertop.

"Because if you don't stop staring at me like I am a goddamn giant cheese, I will scatter your insides on the walls of this fucking room!"

That was enough to make them avert their eyes. Everyone was pretending like they weren't just staring at me a few seconds ago.

I release an irritated sigh then go back to making mine and Tristan's dinner.

"Was that really necessary? Scaring them like that" I turn and find Sophie with a smirk on her face, arms folded across her chest pushing her breasts upwards.

"Yeah, definitely necessary" I say grinning at her while giving her a hug which she gladly gives back.

"You know you don't have to do that right?" Sophie points at the pans and I know she is referring to me cooking. But I just shrug and put the food into a plate for Tristan.

"I know. I just don't trust this pack not to poison me, it wouldn't be the first time they have tried" the quietness that descends on the two rooms is deafening but I don't give a damn because it was the truth.

It wouldn't be the first time they have tried poisoning my food. They had before and if it wasn't for my heightened sense of smell back then I wouldn't even have been the wiser.

So given that I am back and I was no longer pregnant which I am sure had prevented them from doing the same when I was carrying Tristan and the omegas were in charge of bringing me food, I wasn't going to give them a chance to try.

The atmosphere drops an inch and I look up from serving Tristan's plate to find Xavier at the doorway to the kitchen with Bianca by his side. I do a quick swipe of their faces, Xavier's face is hard and expressionless, his jaw set.

For a moment I see something pass in his eyes but it's too quick for me to read it. On the other hand Bianca had a small smile, probably trying to rub it in my face that they are together.

I ignore them and turn back around to finish what I was doing just as Tristan and Freya collide into me, making me laugh.

I give Tristan his plate and get another plate, load it up with food and hand it over to Freya. They run back to their friends with food falling off their plates with no care in their world.

Watching them I pray that they never have to face the cruelty that is in this world at such a young age.

"Meeting in thirty minutes" Xavier's gravelly voice draws me back to the present, making me look in his direction.

"That includes you too Amelia"

"No, thank you...I got shit to do and it doesn't include sitting in a meeting with you" I casually leaned on the countertop in the same way Sophie was.

"Amelia..." I interrupt whatever it is Bianca was about to say.

"No! Last time I checked I wasn't ever invited to this kind of meetings because everyone thought I was beneath them and unworthy and now what? I am the only one likely to save your sorry asses so I am now worthy enough to be at your meeting?...sorry but no...just no" I spat at them my fists clenched, glaring at them.

"You guys do your thing and I will do mine so we can eliminate the threat and then we can all forget the existence of the other and live happily fucking ever after" I finish my piece while breathing heavily because I was pissed at them for everything.

They thought that I was now good enough because I was a goddess? Worthy of them? They had another thing coming. They could all go fuck themselves.

"Thirty minutes Amelia, don't make come get you" Xavier grits out as if he hasn't heard a single word I have said which irritates me even more.

Then he just turned around and walked out the door, Bianca lingering a little just before she also follows.

"Well that was intense, but you gotta keep those claws away for now Lia" Sophie murmurs next to me and for some reason makes me smile.

"Why would I want to retract them? I am like the mother fucking Black Panther...badass all the way"

"Whatever just now that you are coming to the meeting, even if I have to drag you there myself"

Thirty minutes later after leaving Freya and Tristan with the pack nanny, Sophie drags me to Xavier's office where we enter and find Bianca there of course, which just makes me roll my eyes.

Joined by them is Jayden, the head warrior, the former Luna Emma and some of the trusted warriors.

Xavier has no siblings, he is an only child and his dad died a year before Xavier's eighteenth birthday so that explains why he wasn't here.

Sophie immediately goes to her mate leaving me by the door. Since it was closed, I leaned on it and just stared at them waiting for them to begin and hoping they could sense my hostility towards them.

"So I am going to go straight to business, we were attacked again yesterday and we were losing badly. I honestly don't want to imagine what would have happened if Amelia hadn't showed up when she did. Those things have an advantage over us and the more we continue to remain ignorant about what exactly they are the more in danger we continue putting our loved ones." Xavier pauses then continues

"which is why I asked Amelia to join us, so hopefully she could enlighten us"

I sneered at the last part because he didn't ask me, he told me to come against my wishes. My sneer draws everyone's attention to me and since I am doing this for the ones I love, I push my hatred for the people in this room, excluding Sophie that is, and tell them what I know and learned.

"Those creatures are called the undead and they are basically the undead. Werewolves brought back from to life by dark powers and by the god of death Agron. As you have already seen for yourself, they are almost impossible to kill and that's because they are already dead and also because they have the powers of a god running through every inch of their once decaying bodies making them a formidable opponent and impossible to kill, they have no heart, empathy no moral compass...they are like puppets" I stop talking and wait for them to process what I had just told them. By their shocked looks I can tell that that was not what they were expecting to hear.

"So what is this god after?" Xavier asks after some time.

"What do most villains want if not for power and world domination? I was fated to be the dark goddess, die a human death and then ascend as a goddess but Agron has always wanted my powers and if he could get it he would be unstoppable. Can you imagine him as the god of death and darkness? he would be unbeatable and that's why he attacked when I was ten, killing my parents when he couldn't get me and also right after Tristan was born, he knew I would be weak so it would be the perfect time to attack. His plan was simple really, if he could get me in transition, when I was in between the veil of life and death, right before I ascended then he could drain me of all that makes me the ruler of the night"

"But you survived how? When you were ten and when you jumped off the cliff" This time it's Emma that asks and I turned to look at her.

"The gods and goddesses agreed that no deity should have that kind of power, especially Agron who is known to be both a sociopath and a lunatic, so Selene and Nolan who is the god of shadows were charged with protecting me since their powers sort of complemented each other. So Nolan saved me when I was ten, healing me before the pack arrived and both of them saved me before I drowned helping me ascend before Agron could get his hands on me"

Xavier who had been seated stands up and starts pacing the floor, clenching and unclenching his fists. By their body language I can tell that this was beyond what they had expected. Honestly, nobody wants to know that they are fighting against a deity.

"So if you have already ascended, why are they back now? It makes no senses.... he can't get your powers since you are already a goddess, so why is he back?" Jayden's voice comes in a whisper, his face masked in confusion.

Xavier stops pacing and stands in the middle of his office, jaws clenched, shoulders back, his head tipped upward glaring at the ceiling and by the looks of it I don't have to say anything because he has already figured it out. "Tristan" his voice comes out as a growl laced in fear. Without warning he moves at super speed and punches through the wall.

"Yes, he is his next target. Since he is my son, he has some of the essence of a god in him and he is also an alpha making him really really powerful. He is most likely to be the dark god if he ever decides to ascend" I tell them the answer I managed to figure out when I couldn't sleep, which scares the crap out of me.
