Werewolf

Luna

by Two Nine

On the third day since we stopped speaking to each other, my fated mate, Eric Dunn, approves the mine acquisition plan his childhood sweetheart and secretary, Irina Porter, brings to him.However, that ore deposit is long depleted, so purchasing it is bound to incur losses.He assumes that I will rush into his office and force him to rescind his order, just like I have in the past.Yet, I do nothing even after he returns from checking out the mine, one week later.That is the first time in months that he gives me an approving look.But in the next second, he tells me to hand my purchasing authority as the pack's Luna over to Irina.He thinks that that will be the final straw that breaks the camel's back, that I will lose it completely.However, not only do I keep my calm as I tidy up all the documents into a neat bundle, but I even enthusiastically hand over the tasks to Irina.In fact, even when Eric put all the foreign trade deals I negotiated with the other packs under Irina's name, all so he could push the Council of Elders to appoint Irina as Beta, I don't make a single sound of protest.Irina smiles smugly as she says to him, "See? I told you long before, didn't I? You shouldn't go head-to-head with Freya. When it comes to people like her, ignoring her is the way to go. Once enough time has passed, she'll naturally submit to you. The cold shoulder you've been giving her the past few days has made her afraid of losing you. That's why she's being so cooperative now."Eric believes every word out of her mouth, not doubting a single thing. He even praises her publicly for coming up with such a brilliant plan.That night, Eric wraps his arms around me and kisses the corner of my mouth. He promises to restore all of my authority as the pack's Luna, not just the acquisition rights. Besides that, he even does something he's never done before—he agrees to give me the marking ceremony I've been dreaming of for ages.This is the first time he's shown me any affection after believing in Irina's theories about love.He stares at me expectantly, thinking that I will be so touched that I cry.Yet, I keep silent.Seven days ago, Eric was so worried that I would change my mind that he signed Irina's ridiculous acquisition proposal without even looking carefully. Among those papers was actually a mate bond termination contract that I slipped in.However, he's still unaware of it.
