CHAPTER 42 Back Home

  KAT

  "Can someone else please take me home?" I ask, specifically not looking at Luke.

  "I can take you," Luke says from the corner of my eye, but I pretend like I don't hear him. 

  Someone steps forward that I recognize as one of the parents from my ballet class. "I can take you home, Luna," they offer sweetly. 

  "Luna?" I wonder if they have forgotten my name. 

  "A Luna is what we call the woman that is mated to the Alpha," Gunner fills in the blanks for me. "Since Luke will one day be the Alpha, you are considered a Luna. But if you were to reject him, you would lose the rights to that title." 

  "Fine," I say coldly. "I reject him."

  "It is a little more complicated than that," Gunner laughs. "Now, head home before your parents realize that you are missing."
