The Perfect Luna

Chapter 73. See Through

Gideon walked into the interrogation room and understood at once why they called it a VIP room. It wasn’t a dirty cellar like the other cells he had been inside in the past 24 hours. This room had white matte glass walls and ceilings and even floors with a mounted desk and chairs in the middle. He knew at once that this was a place she built. Everything around him

screamed her name. And he cringed seeing the redhead fox in that space.

It was as if she was insulting everything that Riannon touched with her mere presence.

But the moment she looked in his direction, he felt a wave of… something.

Gideon took a deep breath and he could swear that her lips curled a bit.

“Your majesty,” she mumbled in the sweetest tone, tilting her head so that one of her shoulders was bare to his sight as the oversized hood she was given at the hospital fell off it.

“Luna Roxanne, so we meet again,” he said indifferently as he took a seat in front of her. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)She wrinkled her little nose, lowering her eyes.

“I don’t think people should call me Luna anymore since I am in this place,” she sighed and stretched her cuffed hands to touch his palm that was resting on the desk. He did not jerk that hand back and she quickly squeezed his fingers with hers. “Please, tell me what is going

on! No one is telling me anything.”

He wasn’t looking at her when he heard the sound of tears falling on the surface of the desk and he felt another wave of… that odd something. He couldn’t quite decipher it but he had an urge to look at the girl who sat opposite of him.

Roxy was crying, all her face already wet. “Please,” she squeaked helplessly. “I’ll see what I can do…” Gideon said in a hoarse voice and squeezed her hand back.

“Really, my king?” She fluttered her lashes, blinking away tears and one of them landed on his skin. It was calling him to do something and he bent a bit closer to her.

“Of course,” he said, “You and your baby will be safe.” She smiled at him, “You are so kind, your majesty. How can I ever repay you?” She leaned forward too, her fingers running up his arm as their lips almost touched.

“You can start by telling me where your damn fox lover would take my mate,” he gritted his teeth and then pushed her away. The look of astonishment was evident on her face as she

stared at him.

“Wh-what?” the girl mumbled. “Why…” aware of who you are. Or maybe because I am a freaking LYCAN KING!”

He let out a mighty growl, making the girl fall off her chair and crawl to the furthest corner away from him. She was visibly shaking and he knew that he had achieved the desired effect.

“Did you ever think why he never sent you to seduce a Lycan? Let alone me?” Gideon smirked. “Why waste your time on some Alpha when you could have already been in the Lycan kingdom, ruining it from the inside?”

He circled the desk and looked down on her from where he stood with his hands folded on his chest. “That’s because lycans, and especially royal lycans, have the strongest metal shields. A cross-breed siren wouldn’t be able to affect us.”

She stared at him but not a word about who she really was left her mouth. Not that heTêxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

needed any confirmation.

“I don’t know what you are talking about, my king,” she sniffed pitifully, and he rolled his

eyes.

“I don’t care about that,” he shrugged. “Just tell me where would your king take my mate?”

Her head snapped at him and her lips twitched slightly, but she quickly went back into her ignorant mode.

“You are my king,” she said weakly and started sobbing again, “I don’t know what you are talking about! Please, let me out!”

He was right next to her in one moment, yanking her back to her feet and lifting his hand

with prolonged claws to rip her neck.

“What the f*ck?!” the door opened and Brayden growled loudly, storming in. “You don’t have the right to even touch my Luna!”

“Is she even your Luna? Did you acknowledge her? Did you mark her?” Gideon snarled angrily. “And even if you did, you can’t stop me from snapping her neck if she doesn’t start talking!”

“But The Alpha Council can!” Bray stepped forward with clenched fists. “I just summoned a new Alpha Summit! They all know what happened and that you hold my Luna hostage.”

“I don’t care about your Luna!” Gideon let the girl go and was head to head with the werewolf in less than a second. “All need is information! Get it for me and the two of you are

free to go!”

“You have one hour!” the lycan king grunted and left, slamming the door behind his back.

He took a deep breath. The room was soundproof and he couldn’t hear what the couple was talking about. So, he didn’t waste any time and opened the very next door, walking into the

observation room.

His queen was indeed wise because that wasn’t just a fortified matte glass in there. One

wall was a hidden window and at every angle behind that glass, cameras were installed so that it was easy to observe every move inside of the interrogation room on big screens inside the observation one. The first thing that he would do when all this was over, was build a room just like that in his palace.

Then again, who was he kidding? The first thing he would do would be take his mate over and over, and over again.

“You did well,” Ash praised his acting and he frowned. This wasn’t what he wanted to be doing. This wasn’t how he was used to handling things. But since it was Riannon who was in danger and this little annoying redhead hybrid was the only one who could help him find her, he was willing to try and do anything. He wasn’t above even humiliating himself for her sake.

SO

There were other ways to get information out of her, but she was pregnant. And it seemed too cruel to interrogate her properly in that state.

He looked at Riannon’s Beta standing in the corner and eyeing Roxanne behind the glass. She was surprisingly calm with her arms folded on her chest. As if she didn’t commit a grave mistake that cost her an Alpha.

But now wasn’t the time to think about her and he turned to see the show.

“Are you okay?” Brayden was still standing where he left him a few seconds ago.

“Bray!” Roxanne started crying again as she threw herself in his arms, tucking her head in his neck. She was smearing her tears all over his skin and Gideon knew that it was a trick. From the quick research on sirens’ abilities he did with Ria, they found out that sirens were seducing creatures not only with their sweet voices and good looks. The females were

secreting pheromones that could drive almost any male crazy with lust very quickly. No

wonder that i***t Brayden thought she was his mate. It was unusual to want someone that much when you were already mated. But those tears of hers were especially dangerous. They were the concentration of those pheromones and her own DNA. Every time it was touching a male, that liquid was marking them. Temporary, but it was a bond of sorts and it was easier to make them like her. The mating was sealing the deal. But all that was wearing off, so she

“I was so scared!” she whined, “First, I was kidnapped together with Harper! I was so scared! Then, I was attacked by Maya for outing her earlier! She wanted to kill me, Bray! And now this! The lycan king thinks that I know something! Thanks to the Moon Goddess that you

are here!”

“Of course,” Brayden kissed the top of her head, stroking her hair. “Don’t worry anymore.

You are safe now. You are with me. Just tell me everything that you know and we will walk out of here. I promise.”

She distanced herself and looked wearily at him, “But I don’t know anything.”

“You need to give us something,” he insisted calmly while he sat on the top of the desk and pulled her closer. “They think you are a traitor. They will not let you out if you don’t provide any valuable information.”

“But wouldn’t it be proof of me actually being a traitor if I did?” Roxanne flapped her long

“Of course not,” he brushed his hand over her cheek. “Just tell us where they kept you. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Remember, you were telling me that something is happening to your wolf and it’s getting stronger. That you can memorise things easily and it will help you to be a better Luna. Now is

the time to use all that. I am sure you can find the place where they held you and Harper. If we find her, we will be able to leave and get married. And our baby will be safe.”

He placed his hand on her flat tummy that wasn’t even visible yet. “Bray, I don’t remember a thing!” Roxy lied and he sighed.

“It’s for our baby, my love,” he said gently. “Give them something priceless. Tell us the location and we will leave today. You will live like a queen.”

“But Harper told them about your accounts,” the girl sniffed. “Bray, did you even check

them?”

“I did and I have already sorted this. Do not worry. My Luna will ask for nothing, you will have everything. And our son will be the next Alpha.” He coaxed her, but Gideon could tell that it wasn’t working.

“I am sorry,” Roxanne lowered her head. “I already told Ash everything I knew. I don’t remember anything else. But I am sure that my strong Alpha will save me anyway. Right, Brayden? You will not leave me and your baby alone?”

She looked at him pleadingly and he took her hands off her and walked a few steps away.

“Bray,” She mumbled, “what is going on?” “Shift,” he ordered her in a cold voice, making her lips part in shock.

“Bray!” her tone was begging for mercy as she stared at him helplessly. “What are you saying? Why?”

“I want to see your super special wolf. That’s all,” a smirk appeared on his face and Gideon watched curiously. This wasn’t a part of their plan. But then again – their plan just failed. She did not fall for it. So, they would have to try something else.

Maybe that Alpha wasn’t that useless after all?

“Shift,” the stone-cold voice made the little fox shiver. She knew that it would be over for her if she did.

“Shift. Now.” He wasn’t reacting this time. If the person who was being seduced was aware, it lessened the effect. A lot. This was how sailors were surviving on the sea in the olden days. They knew exactly what kind of monsters sirens were.

“I can’t shift!” Roxy sobbed, “I am still an omega! It can hurt the baby. Your baby!”

“It seemed to be fine just a while ago,” he got out his phone and quickly swiped the screen. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Then he shoved it into her face and Gideon could see a video playing. “You shifted into a fox to fight Maya. I hate to break it to you, my love,” this time every word was coated in

“Brayden!” she burst into tears loudly and ugly, throwing herself at him again. “I am still your mate! I couldn’t tell you that I was a fox! You would never accept me… So, I lied about

The Alpha was looking at her now and a storm of emotions was raging inside of him. How could he be so stupid? Why didn’t he see that before? He lost everything because of the deception of that woman and all he wanted was to snap her neck. Moreover, he even knew already that the baby wasn’t his. The doctor ran some tests on Roxy and the baby’s blood type meant that he couldn’t be his father. Because that child, however small, didn’t have the Alpha marker in his or her blood. And by the next morning, he

would have DNA test results to confirm his suspicions once and for all. But looking at her now, he already knew that he wasn’t the

father.

“That child and you will be dead by the end of the week if you don’t start speaking,” he

“Brayden! Brayden!” she screamed, but he stopped hearing her as soon as the door closed behind him. He went to the bathroom and washed his hands, face and everywhere else she touched with her tears. He didn’t want any of that on him anymore.

“How the hell do you have the footage from the woods?” Gideon growled behind his back as he walked in. His eyes were glowing now and Bray knew that the lycan king would rip him apart if he could

installed in a few places to spot intruders. I was lucky that Maya ended up fighting her right under one. That’s all. I have already checked everything else. There’s nothing useful.”

“Can you see her in the video?” Gideon interrupted his speech.

“Just a bit,” Bray admitted.

“Give it to me! Now!” the lycan snarled at the Alpha. Brayden handed him the phone and Gideon started watching the short extract of what surely was a long recording before.

He saw a bear, a fox and Roxanne in her human form. Then he saw another wolf

attacking them, who was probably Maya. She was outnumbered but fought fiercely and when she was done with the first two beasts, Roxy shifted into a huge fox right in front of her. A few moments later he saw her, his Riannon. She appeared from the depths of the forest and watched her friend fight. One breath – and a dark figure appeared behind her. He placed some kind of fabric over her nose and mouth and held her tight while she… did absolutely nothing to fight him. Ria did not struggle at all.

Maya was done with Roxanne when she could still see the man taking his mate away. But she did not move either, watching how the fox slowly shifted back to her human form instead and only occasionally glancing at her Alpha being taken.

So many things were wrong with that video. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)The whole finale took a few seconds but an Alpha and a Beta were supposed to have better reactions.

“Bring me the rest of it!” Gideon ordered, sending the video to himself via messenger and turned his back to the Brayden. “All of it!”

He went to the observation room, where Maya, Reid and Ash were still watching Roxy cry hysterically in the corner. :

“So noisy!” Reid rolled his eyes, pointing at the fox behind the glass who couldn’t see

them.

or if it was some kind of a joke. However, when he growled loudly and menacingly, they all

stood up and headed for the exit.

“Not you, Maya,” the lycan king motioned for the Beta to stay and his own second looked at him questioningly. “We need to talk.”

just like Ash, not defying his king’s command.

Maya did not seem worried of phased at all even when Gideon handed her his phone with

the very same video. She watched it, unbothered. Just the way she watched Riannon taken

“So,” Gideon snarled, “would you explain to me what the hell that was?!”
