The Ex-Luna's Return: No Longer His Doormat ~ 50
~ 50 ~~ Darian ~The doors of the Pack Council chamber slammed shut behind me. I was now trapped inside the room with seven aging Elders.At the center of the room sat Elder Thomas. His gray brows were pulled together, his cold eyes fixed on me. Spread across the table were printed pack forum posts, security logs from the university gates, and photos taken by students in the campus courtyard.On top of everything was a photo of fresh white camellias thrown into a stone trash bin."Do you care to explain this, Alpha?" Thomas asked. His rough voice held no respect. "The sovereign ruler of East Lake, sitting at the back of an undergraduate class like an unruly pup. Following a visiting researcher through the halls. And having gifts thrown into the trash in front of dozens of medical students."I leaned back into the carved wood of my chair, keeping my features flat as slate. "Dr. Quinn is my fated mate, Thomas. What passes between us is an affair of the Moon Goddess, not a line item in t

~ 49 ~~ Mia ~It was Beta Kade.He stood near the low stone retaining wall, his hands shoved deep into the pockets of his dark overcoat. He was alone — no ceremonial escort, no official pack paperwork, and none of Darian's infuriating swagger. The dark purple circles beneath his eyes and the tight line of his mouth made it immediately obvious that he hadn't come under orders."Dr. Quinn," Kade repeated, stepping forward onto the gravel.I paused, keeping my distance. "If you're here to deliver another formal request from the Alpha, Beta Kade, you can save your breath.""I'm not here on pack business," Kade said, his voice unusually quiet, stripped of its usual bureaucratic edge. "Darian doesn't even know I'm on campus. He’d skin me alive if he found out I was talking to you."I tilted my head, keeping my expression guarded. "Then why are you here?""Because someone has to tell you the truth before the Alpha collapses in the middle of your lecture hall," Kade replied bluntly, taking a

~ 48 ~~ Mia ~The morning mist was still clinging to the academy lawns when I walked through the main archway at eight-fifteen.Standing right by the central stone fountain, was Darian. He wore a dark coat, looking completely composed, and in his hands rested an elaborate bouquet of fresh, pristine white camellias.The moment our eyes met, he stepped forward, intercepting me on the flagstones."Good morning, Dr. Quinn," he said smoothly, offering the blossoms toward me. The scent of storm and crushed cedar clung to the crisp petals. "I remember you used to like having these on the table in the mornings."I stopped, my fingers tightening around the handle of my briefcase. The sight of the white flowers didn't bring warmth; it brought a cold, sharp spike of irritation."Do you truly have nothing else to do, Alpha Darian?" I asked, my voice cutting cleanly through the morning chill. "Doesn't the Alpha of East Lake have pack responsibilities? Isn't half your southern district recovering

~ 47 ~~ Darian ~The digital clock read 3:42 AM.My desk was submerged under stacks of requisition forms, levee reinforcement contracts, and boundary dispute petitions from the western agricultural ward. I signed my name across the final flood relief subsidy grant, stamped the territorial seal onto the wax, and tossed the folder onto the finished pile."You're going to collapse, Darian," Kade’s voice rasped from the leather sofa across the room. He rubbed his bloodshot eyes, a stack of council manifests resting on his knees. "You've slept four hours in the last seventy-two. You rebuilt half the valley's supply chain during the emergency, and now you're clearing three days of administrative backlog before sunrise. What is the rush?""The rush is that my daylight hours are booked," I answered without looking up, pulling the next dossier toward me.Kade let out a dry, exasperated breath. "Booked with what? Sitting in the back of an undergraduate neurology class like an oversized delinq

~ 46 ~~ Mia ~"Have dinner with me tonight," Darian said, leaning against the wooden railing with a careless grin. "Just one dinner. You, me, and Nick. You agree to dinner, and I promise I will walk out that door right now and never set foot in another one of your lectures.""Absolutely not," I answered instantly, without a heartbeat of hesitation. "I would rather cancel the entire semester."Nick’s small face fell from behind his father, his shoulders slumping in disappointment.Darian didn't seem surprised by the rejection. He simply let out a low chuckle, tapping his fingers against the wood as he offered an immediate alternative."Fine. A compromise, then," Darian said, his tone turning reasonable, though the predatory gleam in his dark eyes never wavered. "If you won't give me dinner, give me your current contact information. Your direct mobile number. That's all."I stared at him, my jaw tight. "Why on earth would I give you my number?""Because if I have a direct line to ask a

~ 45 ~~ Mia ~Before the afternoon session began, I marched straight into the campus security office on the ground floor.The chief of security, a burly wolf named Sergeant Morris, was sipping black tea behind a bank of surveillance monitors. He stood up immediately when I entered. "Dr. Quinn. What can we do for the visiting delegation today?""I need an escort for Lecture Hall 3," I said, my tone crisp and authoritative. "There are unauthorized visitors sitting in the back rows during my advanced seminars. I want them removed from the building before my next class starts."Morris picked up a digital clipboard. "Of course, Professor. We take academic interference very seriously. Who are the individuals?""Alpha Darian Lancaster. And his son."Morris froze. The color drained from his face so fast it looked as if he had been struck by a suppression dart.Behind him, two junior guards sitting at the camera feeds dropped their pens, turning around with wide, terrified eyes. The three men
