Refuse To Be One of His Thirty Luna Candidates novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9 

Elysia’s POV 

Three months later. 

My belly was a heavy, perfect sphere. Our pup was due in a month. 

Adrian took care of my every need, even holding my arm when I walked. 

“A message from your friend,” he said, handing me a comm crystal. 

It was Maya, my friend from the Blackmoon Pack. 

“Elysia, you have to see this,” her voice was buzzing with gossip. “It’s about your ex.” 

An image appeared on the crystal. 

It was the Blackmoon Pack’s great hall. 

Damon sat at the head of the table, surrounded by a few of his men, empty bottles everywhere. 

“Finally free!” one of them cheered. “No one telling us when to hold meetings or when to train!” 

“Yeah!” another agreed. “Elysia was a damn control freak. Always breathing down our necks about patrols, training schedules… even who we were sleeping with.” 

“That’s how she-wolves are,” a third man slurred. “Always think they’re right about everything.” 

The image of Damon raised his glass. 

“To a new beginning!” he said, his voice drunk. “To a life with no one telling us what to do!” 

“Cheers!” 

I watched the video and shook my head. 

“Are they regretting it now?” Adrian asked. 

I kept watching. The footage skipped ahead a few weeks. 

Same hall, but the mood was completely different. 

The men sat around the table, their faces grim. 

“More trouble on the border,” one said. “The Silverclaws are refusing to renew the trade agreement.” 

“Why?” Damon asked, his voice weary. 

“They said we’re not credible. The Moonstone incident destroyed their trust in us.” 

“Then send someone to negotiate.” 

“Who? We don’t have a negotiator like Elysia anymore.” 

Silence. 

“There are also financial problems,” another man said. “Without Elysia’s strategic planning, our income is down forty percent.” 

“The combat training is a mess, too. The new instructor is useless.”
