Malia's POV

“Now who told you that?” I asked Penelope.

There was no point in saying that it was Lila that the Alpha wanted to crown as his Luna. That would be a lie and I didn't want to lie to Penelope.

Her eyes glittered with mischief. “I swear this time I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I was just passing through when I heard the Beta and his brother talking about it.”

My eyes widened in surprise. “Ronan knows?”

Penelope nodded. “I guess he didn't tell you either because he didn't want you to know due to the way he feels about you, or because he feels it's not in his place to tell you about it,” she reasoned.

“Whatever it is, he's my friend. He's not supposed to keep something like this from me,” I grumbled.

“Do you want to become Luna for the second time?” Pen asked.

“Hell no! I can't risk Lila suffocating me to death in my sleep,” I said and she chuckled.

“Perhaps Alpha Ryder might insist that you move into his chambers once you're crowned Luna. No one would be able to hurt you.”
