The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311

5 – Ben

“Well, Mother, as you know, I’ve been tied up getting ready for our guests since I only just found out I’d be involved in this project,” I said, trying to sound casual. Good, she’s got some fire in her—exactly the kind of spirit I need right now.

Alpha David chuckled softly, clearly enjoying the exchange. “Alright then, let’s sit down for dinner first, and after that, we can talk about our situation.” His tone was light but carried an edge of seriousness beneath the laughter.

The aroma of the dinner was irresistible, though I can’t recall much about the meal itself. Elara had me so distracted that I’m not even sure if I actually took a bite. Before I realized it, the plates were being cleared away, and the casual chatter had come to an end.

“Well, ladies and gentlemen,” Alpha David announced, rising from his seat, “let’s move to my sitting room. It’s time we discuss why you’ve all been gathered here.” We all stood and followed him through a set of grand doors down a long corridor lined with ornate pillars and ancient paintings—remnants of a time that felt like a medieval castle come to life. Once the doors shut behind us, I noticed Alpha David visibly relax.

“I apologize for the ceremony and all the fuss,” he began, his voice dropping to a serious tone, “but I believe there’s a traitor among us. I can’t be sure these walls aren’t listening.”

Jeremiah immediately spoke up, “Are you certain it’s safe to talk here?”

Alpha David nodded. “I personally searched this room twice today. I informed my staff beforehand about the meeting in my office, but I changed the location last minute. I had Elara inspect the room—she was late to dinner for that reason. If she says this place is secure, then it is.”

My mate is clever and cautious, no doubt about it. My only unease is how tightly her bodyguards cling to her. If we’re supposed to be the ‘good guys’ here, shouldn’t they give us a bit more space? If I didn’t know better, I’d think those guards were her mates, the way they hover so close.
