Chapter 7: Because I let you


    Beta Ash was waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs. Not her husband. In a ck


    tuxedo and offered her his hand when she was close which Ria was reluctant to ept at first.


    But she went with it in the end since he hadn’t betrayed her yet. She couldn’t count on him, yea. But


    she still could change events with him. Or at least give it a try. If the Beta supported her at the Alpha


    Council when the divorce would take ce, everything could go smoothly. It was worth a try.


    “Nice dress,” he gave her anotherpliment and she rewarded him with a brief smile. “Thanks,” they


    were walking towards the car that was already waiting for them and she frowned when she realised


    that it was a limo. Meaning that she would have to ride with her husband and Roxy. How unpleasant.


    “This is not what you usually wear,” the Beta said, and she looked at him, slightly shocked that he even


    noticed.


    “I am in the mood for some changes, Ash,” Riannon smiled and tilted her head a bit, noticing the


    werewolf’s eyes get darker. Well, this was new.


    He opened the door of the car for her and helped her inside, holding the train of her dress and cing it


    gently to her feet. Maybe she overdid it a bit? Dancing in that could be problematic. Not that she


    nned to dance much. Today had a different purpose.


    She gave a brief look to Brayden and Roxanne who sat way too close to her liking. And


    she even managed to hold back a grin when she saw the omega wearing the tacky peach dress,


    covered in cheap rhinestones. The colour did not suit her red hair at all and made her look a bit too…


    orangey.


    “Luna,” Roxy greeted her awkwardly, clinging to Bray, while he carefully removed her arms off his and


    showed her to keep them at her knees. At least he still tried not to be too disrespectful in her presence.


    If one could say that, of course.


    “Ri,” he couldn’t even manage a smile, “You look breath-taking.”


    “Thanks,” she managed her own fake smile without any trouble, “Ash here already told me that.”


    Heavy silence lingered over all of them as the car drove off.


    “Luna,” Roxanne just couldn’t shut up, “The dress you are wearing… It’s truly exquisite.”


    “Thank you,” she spared her just one nce, “I guess I do have good taste. Yours is nice too. I hope


    you enjoyed picking your outfit first.”


    “You got to choose first?” Brayden sounded surprised. This wasn’t how the omega told   Because I let


    you dresses that no one wanted. Which was fine of course, since she didn’t have to give her anything


    at all.


    “Didn’t you know?” Riannon shot her brow up, “Roxy was so emotional when she saw the racks of


    clothes. I thought it would make her happy to pick whatever she wanted before anyone else since it


    was her first time and all.”


    The Alpha looked at his plus one questioningly but the girl pretended not to notice. “I did not see this


    dress though!” she said innocently, trying to point out what Ria did.


    “You did not look well,” Luna’s lips curled into a smile, “You just wanted to take the one that I had in my


    hands without bothering to look at the rest. And I let you have it. So, there you go.”


    They all looked stunned and. Ria just turned to the window and pretended to enjoy the scenery.


    They arrived at the North Star pack in a few hours and by then Riannon was fed up with Roxy’s tales of


    her hard life. She was beaten, she was starved, she had to work as a ve in her previous pack where


    even the kids were bullying her. Every man that she met wanted to take her yet by some miraculous


    coincidence she still remained a pure virgin. That one she was repeating over and over. So much that


    even Ash snorted at some point. And only Brayden seemed to listen to all that with a very serious face.


    Ria wanted to roll her eyes. Why wouldn’t he cry also while he was at that? It did not seem realistic at


    all. Even rogues are not that cruel in their groups. She could believe that someone would pick at an


    omega, of course, but Roxy’s story was questionable at least. In her past life, she tried to check it and


    everything matched up. But the more she was thinking, the more she came to the idea that maybe she


    didn’t look thoroughly enough after all. Making just a simple request as a Luna of her own pack. The


    other Alpha admitted way to easily that Roxy was mistreated. Why wouldn’t he deny that? No one


    needed this kind of reputation.

    “Luna,” Ash offered her his hand again and she realised that they already arrived.


    They the mansion and went through a very basic security check and were about to enter the hall where


    the party was taking ce when Ria turned to the Beta.


    “Ash, I forgot my clutch in the car,” she smiled at him softly, “Would you be so kind as to bring it to me.


    My phone is there and I do not want to miss any important calls in case anything happens.”


    “Of course,” he nodded and ran away quickly.


    the room with her own plus one. She needed this shock and pity factor today, so when the servants


    opened the doors before Brayden and Roxanne, she made sure to follow right after them with her head


    held high.


    A Luna betrayed by her husband. A Luna, who had nothing to be embarrassed off. A Luna, who knew


    her worth. They were already at the bottom of the grand staircase and she waited a bit at the very top


    of it with a vague smile on her lips. She could hear growls here and there in the room. And whispers.


    So, many of them that it was slightly overwhelming for her hearing at first.


    And yet she soaked in the attention, descending slowly. When one growl overpowered them all…
