All Chapters of The Luna's Harem: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Alpha Jason sat at the head of the table, his face unreadable. Riley took his place beside Sabrina, acutely aware of the hostile gazes directed their way.“Some of these young men have concerns,” Elder Dominic said, gesturing to the assembled males. “They feel the proposed changes undermine the sacred nature of the Harem.”A tall, muscular wolf, Riley recognised as Kane, stepped forward. “With all due respect, Luna, these reforms would make us nothing more than stud animals. The Harem has always been about more than just reproduction.”Riley watched Sabrina’s face carefully, noting the slight tightening around her eyes. She was preparing for battle.“The Harem has also been about death,” she replied, her voice steady. “Seventeen men in the last twenty years across allied packs. All recorded as accidents or honourable duels.”The room fell silent. Riley could hear his own heartbeat thundering in his ears.“Those were isolated incidents,” Elder Marcus insisted, though his voice lacked c

Sabrina nodded, her expression thoughtful. “We should also start the survey as soon as possible. The sooner we know where everyone stands on the reforms, the better we can plan.”“I’ll have it ready by dinner,” Riley promised, already thinking about the questions they needed to ask. “We should include questions about their expectations for living arrangements and privacy.”As they continued discussing the necessary repairs, Riley’s mind kept drifting to the Harem members themselves. Thirty-eight potential fathers to Sabrina’s pups. The thought sent a possessive growl rumbling through his chest, which he quickly suppressed.“One thing at a time,” Alpha Jason said, noticing Riley’s tension. “First, we make the Harem House safe. Then we address the members.”“What about the requests from other packs?” Sabrina asked. “Should we put them on hold until we’ve sorted out our own pack members?”Alpha Jason considered this for a moment. “Yes. Let’s focus on our pack first. Once we’ve establishe

“Guess they should see the main floor first in full this but has been renovated, but we don’t know if Alpha Jason has started the first bedroom suites yet, and with Elder Marcus already pushing.”“Yeah, how much do you two know? Because two other packs want to send some of their males into my Harem, one as an Alpha Heir and the other as a Beta Heir. It would take our pool from 25 to 37, and that’s only if other packs don’t try as well. The whole house is meant to house 200 men.”Kane’s eyes widened at Sabrina’s words. “Two hundred? That’s... that’s insane.”“Not really,” Victor said thoughtfully, his eyes scanning the massive living area. “If you think about it, the Harem House was built during a time when our pack was much larger. The original design probably anticipated more members.”Riley nodded, grateful for Victor’s practical perspective. “We need to focus on making the first ten rooms habitable. After that, we can tackle the rest in phases.”“Speaking of rooms,” Sabrina said, “

Elder Marcus’s face turned an alarming shade of purple at Sabrina’s words. Riley felt a surge of pride for his mate’s boldness, even as tension rippled through the gathered crowd.“You twist my words, Luna,” the Elder sputtered. “I seek only to uphold tradition!”“Tradition that has led to the deaths of seventeen men in the past twenty years,” Sabrina replied, her voice steady despite the growing tension. “Is that truly what the Goddess wants?”Riley stepped forward, placing himself slightly in front of Sabrina. “The survey is meant to gather opinions, not make final decisions. Everyone will have a voice in these reforms.”“But the sperm bank—“ Elder Marcus began.“Is designed to protect bloodlines,” Riley cut him off. “Even if tragedy strikes.”The crowd murmured, some nodding in agreement while others shook their heads in disapproval. Riley spotted Victor and Kane standing at the edge of the gathering, their expressions carefully neutral.“This is not the way to handle such matters,

“Few do,” Sabrina replied. “The full texts have been kept in the Alpha’s library for generations. Most only know the simplified versions the Elders share.”Riley felt a surge of pride for his mate. She had handled the confrontation with grace, using knowledge rather than emotion to make her point.“The Goddess chose Sabrina for this role,” Riley added, keeping his voice measured despite his wolf’s desire to assert dominance. “Not the Elders, not tradition, the Goddess.”Rodney sank back into his chair, running a hand through his hair. “This changes things.”“It doesn’t change how you feel,” Fitz said quietly. “But it might change how you think about the situation.”Rodney nodded slowly. “I need time to process this.”“We don’t have much time,” Riley said. “The hearing is tomorrow morning.”“Then I’ll be there,” Rodney replied, his expression still troubled but less hostile. “I can’t promise I’ll speak in your favour, but I won’t stand with Elder Marcus.”It wasn’t the full support Ril
