“So, you win by default, but isn’t that just as bad as a loss.”
“Absolutely not, a win is a win, it doesn’t matter how you got it unless you cheated. If you cheated, then it’s a loss and you suck.” I laughed at her playful words.
“How are you feeling? I heard you were in bad shape.” I tried to assess her with my eyes, worry written on my face.
“I’m fine, no worries.”
I followed her over to the table she was working on as she answered. There were a lot of presents there.
“You got a lot of gifts here Rivi. Why do you have baby and kid toys here?”
“For Vincent’s kids of course.”
“Who all did you get gifts for?”
“Well, there’s the family of course, then friends, guards, and staff. Not to mention Joaquin and his Mom. I also bought for Heather, Conner, Renea, and Faith, Vincent’s family because I know them and consider Vincent such a good friend.”
“Your guard is your friend?” This shocked me, she was probably the only Luna to make friends with her guards.
“Is that so wrong? Why is it so weird that I am friends with him? He is a nice person. And his mate is a wonderful, caring woman. And they named their baby Faith, whether that was after me or not I don’t care, she’s special.”
“Just because her name is your middle name?” I laughed loudly.
“Shut up Carter.” She snapped, I heard the ring of authority in her voice, the command in it since she was embarrassed.
“Damn, that Luna stuff is powerful.” I growled, sounding serious.
“Oops.” She was laughing now out of embarrassment.
“Don’t oops me. You can’t give me a command like that and then laugh at me.”
“That was actually hilarious.” We continued to laugh at each other for a minute while she quickly wrapped another present.
“So, I have something to tell you.”
“What’s that?” She looked curious.
“Well two things really. First, the Alpha has managed to get you approved to sit your exams, but only if you do them on Saturday.” I grinned at her.
“OH MY GODDESS! REALLY?” She screamed and jumped to her feet. “Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am so glad I won’t have to fail all four classes.” She was jumping up and down.
“You’re going to be taking them all consecutively. It will be you and a test proctor in the room. There will be a dozen guards, minimum, stationed around the building. One guard at each entrance, and the others scattered to look like casual bystanders.”
“Wow, so serious.” She said jokingly.
“Don’t joke about this Riviana!” I snapped. “You were attacked last time you were there, and you’ve nearly died twice. This is no laughing matter. And in each of those attacks you were the one they were after. The Alpha still doesn’t know how they plan to use you against him, but he knows they want to either hurt, kidnap, or kill you. Don’t take your situation so lightly.”
“I know Carter, I’m just so happy right now that nothing is going to sound like I am taking it seriously.” She really did look happy.
“I’m just so glad that I will get to start new classes next semester.”
“Yes, but not the way you think.”
“What?” She seemed to have popped out of her happy bubble.
“You can take classes next semester, but you have to take them remotely for right now.”
“NO!” She screamed.
“It’s not up to me Riviana, those are orders from the Alpha himself. He says he will get this situation cleared up as fast as he can, but to please work remotely for this one semester until he knows that everything is safe.”
“Why did I have to go and mate with him?” She roared. “My life has been turned upside-down and it will never go back. I want my life back Carter.”
“I’m sorry Rivi.”
“So, was that the second thing you had to tell me?” She asked halfheartedly.
“No, the second thing had nothing to do with you or your little problems.” I looked at her uncomfortably.
“What’s wrong Carter?”
“I found my mate.” I smiled, but I didn’t really feel it.
“That’s wonderful news Carter.” She smiled.
