Reborn of the Luna novel Chapter 15

Still, his thoughts kept returning to two women, one of whom was his mate—the one he had been waiting for his entire life, the one meant for him alone. He had seen her just a few days ago, a beauty swimming naked in the lake on the border he was patrolling that night. He could still remember how her skin glowed in the moonlight, how her breasts peeked out of the water as she floated on her back, and how her long blonde hair flowed around her. It was an image he couldn’t shake, one that was driving him mad.

What frustrated him even more was that she didn’t sense him. While her scent wrapped around him, compelling him to enter werewolf territory in search of her, she didn’t even notice him. And when she finally did, she got scared and fled.

There was no mistake—he recognized her instantly as his. So why didn’t she do the same? Why did she run away?

He had told himself many times that she was just scared. Some women were like that, especially since he was a Lycan and much bigger than a regular werewolf. He knew the rumors spread among wolves about his kind. That had to be it.

He needed to find her. There were three packs near the lake where he met her. He hoped to speak with the Alphas or Lunas there to discover her location.

There was also one specific reason he wanted to speak with a particular Luna from one of those packs. She was the reason he decided to attend this event rather than visiting the packs individually.

Her voice had stuck with him, as had her words. He had been in a foul mood when he spoke to her on the phone, right after his mate had escaped. But as soon as she hung up, he regretted everything he had said. As an Alpha King, he knew he needed to be more understanding. Besides, she had made a valid point.

Moreover, the Lycans owed her. They weren’t arrogant enough to think that merely talking to her was doing her a favor.

So, Jacob decided to hear her out. If she was right, he would help her reclaim her pack during the divorce. It wasn’t her fault her husband couldn’t keep his word. A man shouldn’t mark a woman and take her as his Luna if he wasn’t certain it was his final decision.

“Do you see her?” The King asked his Beta while sipping his drink in a comfortable seat prepared just for him.

“No,” Richard replied, “but I see a lot of other fish in the sea, and I’d like to go fishing. Can I?”

“Of course, you can,” Jacob chuckled. “As soon as you bring me Luna Grimm, you’re free to fish as much as you like.”

“Fine!” His best friend groaned. “I’ve done my research, by the way. All the packs are talking about it.”

“What do they say?” Jacob was curious to hear all sides of the story.

“It’s a matter of taste,” Richard shrugged. “She’s a seven at least, but if I remember my encounter with the Luna correctly, she’s a solid ten.”

His Beta continued talking, but suddenly, the King stopped listening because he caught a familiar scent.

His mate was here, and he couldn’t believe his luck!

The doors opened, and a beautiful woman walked in, immediately drawing everyone’s attention. She had the beauty of a porcelain doll and wore a wine-red dress that hugged her body in all the right places. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe—she was even more stunning than he remembered.

Any second now, she would sense his presence too. He was curious to see what she would do this time. Would she run away again? Or would she start looking for him?

To his surprise, she did absolutely nothing and didn’t react at all to him being there. She descended the stairs, the fabric of her dress flowing behind her like a red cloud, while every male in the room couldn’t take their eyes off her. Jacob heard a few possessive growls that annoyed him immensely.
