“Don’t worry about it, my Queen,” Luna Alice said, smiling brightly. “I hope you are feeling better today.”

I smiled back and nodded.

“I am much better, thank you Luna,” I said politely and looked at Maria.

She reached out and took my hand in hers.

“I am so incredibly happy for you, Maddie,” she said softly. “You are an amazing Luna and I am so proud of you.”

I smiled brightly.

“Thank you, Maria,” I said. “That means so much coming from you.”

She squeezed my hand tightly before letting it go.

I looked at Luna Laura and Luna Jennifer.

“I am so happy to have you here,” I said, smiling at them. “I hope you are enjoying your stay.”

Luna Laura smiled at me. “Very much so, my Queen. Everyone is excited about the first tournament tonight.”

“I don’t know whose idea it was to arrange a tournament and make it a tradition alongside Alpha’s Meeting, but it was the best idea ever,” Luna Alice said as she poured coffee into her mug. “Can you imagine not having some entertainment while we were here?”

I chuckled and nodded. “I agree. I am very excited for the tournament to start.”

Luna Alice smiled at me and took a small sip of her coffee.

I looked at Luna Jennifer and I focused on her thoughts.

What is it about her? Why does Lucius want her so badly? Am I not as pretty as she is? Am I not enough for him?

My breath got caught in my throat and I had to do everything in my power to remain calm. I lifted the wall around my brain again. I imagined it as tall and thick. I didn’t want to hear anything else. I couldn’t.

Was it Lucius? He wanted me? Why? What did he want to do with me?

I gulped and forced a small smile on my face.

“It’s very nice to have you here, Luna,” I said, trying to keep the confusion out of my voice.

She remained quiet, but she bowed her head at me.

“Kade wanted me to say hi,” Luna Maria said, drawing my attention back to her. “He was supposed to come with Jack and me, but he got held back at the pack. He will be taking over the pack very soon.”

Kade was Jack and Maria’s son. He was a couple of years older than me and I never really spent any time with him.

“That is so nice to hear,” I said, smiling a little. “I wish him all the best.”

Luna Maria smiled brightly and I looked back at Jennifer. I took a deep breath and focused on her thoughts again.

I couldn’t let her thoughts scare me. I was a Luna and a Queen. I had to know if her mate was a threat to Dimitri and his throne.

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE – Money Or Power

Dimitri’s POV

“I am telling you, Dimitri,” Will said. “It has to be Lincoln. He has nothing to lose.”

I fixed my tie and glanced at him.
