Chapter 82: You Are Wrong!
Lottie POV
I wasn’t in the mood for this shit; I had expected to come out here to find my father, the damn beta of this pack, to be supporting people. To be getting those injured, if any, to the infirmary, maybe I don’t know, organising our pack warriors discreetly in case one of the visiting alphas decided to launch an attack tonight when we were most vulnerable. But instead, I find him in the darkness with Mike no doubt conspiring with whoever the fuck this male was. Meanwhile, those I cared for were left scared, confused, and running around like headless chickens.
It was a joke!
“He is a joke!” Sage growled a statement I was inclined to agree with, but I wasn’t ready to voice that just yet.
“Leave!” I demanded of the stranger who was not part of my pack, I knew I was being rude and had insulted him, but frankly, I didn’t have time to kiss his ass; my mate was injured, and my other was close to a breakdown while they secured their father’s body, my best friends mate was at death’s door and if he died not only would she be left devastated but everyone out here who I was meant to protect one day would end up at war with a pack we stood no chance of beating.
We were royally fucked!
“Lottie!” Mike endeavoured to say, his hand gripping at my elbow as he tried to pull me from the stranger I had just narrowed my eyes on and into him. My feet, however, remained rooted to the floor. The hooded figure was so familiar yet so alien to me. His hood hid his face, but from what I
could see, he screamed trouble! Making my blood run cold and ice prickle the hairs at the back of my neck.
He was dangerous, and I needed to tread carefully, and perhaps in a different time when I was racked with guilt and dread, I would have. But all I could think right now was that my people needed me, and this man did not belong here; after all, “who comes to a ball in a hoodie and jeans, jeans I noted that were covered in blood?

On any other day, I would take more notice of him; today, though, I had enough to deal with without worrying about some hooded figure and his bloody clothes.
“Baby!” I heard Mike’s simper voice beg, feeling his hold on me; I pulled my eyes from the strangers and slowly turned to look at Mike’s face and then to where his hand rested on my elbow as if it was covered in shit.
“Do not ever presume to touch me again!” I seethed, flicking my eyes back to his face, an apparent demand written on my face.
“Release me!” I added when he didn’t seem to get the fucking hint–Standard
for Mike!
“Lottie, please!” He sighed, clearly embarrassed.
“So help me, goddess, if you do not release me, Mike, I am going to lose my shit right here and tell everyone what a sleazy bastard you are!”
“Charlotte!” My father snapped my eyes, flicking from Mike’s shocked pools to his, shaking my head slowly, my lip curling in disgust.
“Don’t even start… father!” I snarled the last word like venom on my tongue before my eyes met Mike’s again, “NOW!” I barked with another glance at his hand that was still gripping my flesh like one would grip a lifeboat in a storm- desperatel
and scared.
“Please.” He whispered but did as I asked and let go of my elbow. My eyes observed him; seeing the pain dancing across his features once would have made me weak, but now they made me angry! Steading myself against his games, I harden myself to him.
“Damn, I like her, Attwood..” The stranger laughed. “When you get bored of your mates.. Come find me sugar!” He chortled, his eyes flaring with intrigue as I span to look at him. Insulted and enraged.
“I told you to leave. I would like to talk to my father. Alone!” I ground out through clenched teeth.

“As you wish, Luna!” He chuckled, the sound cold and erri, devoid of any warmth that a standard chuckle might have. He was.. creepy, to say the fucking least.
“I am not the Luna. Laura is!” I.snapped, looking back at my father.
“See, that… is where you are wrong, sugar; her mate, the alpha, is dead..” He laughed loudly, instantly regretting being so rude to him, knowing I had got his back. up, and the price of that was the scene he was about to cause. With everyone’s wolves still MIA, no one but those in that room knew of Alpha’s demise. I had hoped, at least! Turning to look at him, I crossed the space between us, my bloodied dress swirling around my feet.
“You are wrong!” I snorted, shaking my head, but the damage was done; people were looking at me with questions glistening in their eyes
“Am I?” He questioned, his hands tucked into his pockets as he thrust his chest. out in an attempt to look foreboding. He didn’t. He looked like a sick fuck who liked to play games with people! Myself included, apparently. In the mirror behind him, I saw Mike and my Father attempt to leave, no doubt hoping to avoid my questions. Spinning around, I pinned them with a formidable stare.
“I am not done with either of you!” I hissed. “STAY!” I commanded, and to my surprise, I saw those visiting Alphas I had feared would attack us now we wer weak, move to block their exit, an unspoken message passing between us.
They had my back.
Thank fuck because I am not sure I had the strength to fight them on my own. Nodding my thanks to the Alphas, I paused, feeling the air turn cold around me.
“I saw it happen, you know, your Alpha die, I mean. I was right there… such a shame.” the stranger’s voice sang out cheerfully into my ear as a hand slid over my hip.
I spun back to the hooded male, filled with questions I desperately hoped her could answer. But given my earlier insolence, I doubted he would. Only to see her had vanished into the crowd, his words lingering in the air.

“So this makes YOU.. the new Luna and Your mates the Alphas… Not sure how long for, though.” His smirk was so dangerous and unwavering that I felt the coldness of the room seep into my bones as I caught sight of it in the crowd before it vanished in what I could have sworn was a flash of red smoke.
“Who was he? Someone find him!” I ordered before turning my attention back. to my father and ex– fiance. I would deal with the stranger later; right now, I had to help Sebastian.
Author Note: Hey you lovely lot, I am sorry for the lack of updates yesterday, I have appointments coming out my ears this week for my little leech. I am writing daily but don’t always get time to edit as it is on my phone and auto correct is a bitch, who apparently is a fan of Sage as it keeps trying to refer to her as Sugar tits (so if you spot that anywhere give me a shout because I don’t always see these things!) If I don’t get your 2 chapters out each day I will do a mass upload at the weekend of all the ones I have missed (as I have the weekend off AGAIN! WOOHOO!) but rest assured I am
working away in between her appointments: and will play catch up so you’re not missing out! Loves Ya Pippa X
