All Chapters of The Barren Luna's Secret: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

Logan’s POVFreya did not react with anger when Tristan spoke. I saw the surprise in her eyes, but she did not let it show beyond that first flicker. My wolf growled within me. He did not like how Tristan was talking to Freya, but Freya had to hold her own in front of them.“Luna,” I said evenly, “this is Tristan. He is my Chief Warrior.”Tristan inclined his head a fraction in acknowledgment.“Chief Warrior Tristan,” Freya said calmly, “There is no need for the jab. If you have an issue with my proposal, this is what you’re here for. Explain your reasoning.”Tristan raised an eyebrow at Freya’s reaction as if he didn’t expect Freya to respond in a professional manner.“Winter is approaching,” he said. “The harsh season always weakens supply lines and strains manpower. Construction of a wall across the plains will require significant warrior presence for at least a month. During that time, our fighting force will be divided between defense and labor.”Some of the pack members began to

Freya’s POVHow dare he just leave while I was still talking?‘Please calm down. He is doing this for our benefit,’ my wolf said in an attempt to calm me down.‘You’re supposed to be on my side,’ I growled.‘I am, but he’s right. We just recovered. Let him handle this,’ my wolf urged, but I ignored her. I was not going to allow him to treat me like a child. I allowed my ex to take control when he returned, and the pack turned on me. I would not allow that to happen again.‘But Logan is not like that. He…’ I pushed my wolf down midsentence. I quickly moved to leave the room, but Elise stepped in front of the door.“Elise, what are you doing?” I asked.“You can’t leave,” Elise said.“Move,” I told her.“No.”“There is a riot at the border. I need to be there,” I told her.“And Alpha Logan ordered you to stay here,” Elise argued.“Elise! You are my Beta not his,” I snapped.“I made a promise to protect the pack just like you did. Logan is now my Alpha too, and it is my responsibility to

Freya’s POV“Are you still upset with me?” Logan teased.“No, but you better be on your best behavior,” I said as I sat down for breakfast. Only a few minutes later, Elise and Gavin strolled in.“So, you two seem okay. That means Freya probably didn’t have you sleep on the couch last night,” Elise teased.“No, but I have my eye on him,” I said. “What are you two doing here?”“We thought we could eat breakfast together,” Elise suggested.Nora had just placed the last plate in front of us. Breakfast has just started, so it was fine with Elise and Gavin joining us. “Nora, please bring two more sets of utensils.”“Yes, Luna,” she replied and hurried back toward the kitchen.Elise dropped into the chair across from me. “It’s much livelier to eat together,” she said as she glanced at the spread on the table. “And this looks good.”“It does,” Gavin added, taking his seat beside her.I smiled. “You’re both welcome to join us more often.”Logan looked at me in exaggerated disappointment. “I pr

Winter’s POVMason closed the distance between us and kissed me again. I kissed him back earnestly. His hands roamed my body before resting on my waist. My hands moved to his shoulders. His grip tightened at my waist. I knew that anyone could turn the corner and see us behind the supply crates, but I did not pull away.When he broke the kiss, we were both breathing heavily.“Why did you leave without saying goodbye?” Mason asked.I stepped back, putting space between us. I blushed at the question. ‘See…he did like us. We should never have left like that,’ my wolf muttered within me.“It was a one-night stand,” I said. “I didn’t think it was anything more than that.”“It meant more to me,” Mason responded.I shook my head. “We were both drinking. I was upset. We rushed into things. That is not the right way to start a relationship.”“You decided that alone. You didn’t even take my feelings into consideration,” Mason said.I didn’t know what to say. He was right. To be honest, I wanted

Freya’s POVWinter’s eyes widened before she began blushing. She looked away and said, “I wouldn’t call him my mate just yet.”“I knew it!” Elise exclaimed. “So, that’s why you were late.”Winter nodded as she nervously twisted her fingers in front of her. “Yes, but I promise it won’t happen again.”“We don’t care about all that. Who is he?” Elise said.“What is his name? What is his rank?” I asked.Elise leaned forward slightly. “Bring him over. We want to see the man that has captured your heart.” I nudged Elise in the side for being sarcastic.Winter’s cheeks flushed deeper. “He’s just an ordinary warrior. He is busy working on the wall right now.”“That’s fine,” Elise replied. “We just want to see him.”“I’m not…I’m not ready to introduce him,” Winter said quickly. “Maybe once the wall has been built.”I studied her expression. She looked nervous but happy. This was not my reaction when I met my fated mate.“Is he your fated mate?” I asked.Winter shook her head and said, “No.”“W
