Chasing His Kickass Luna Back

“Hey Marcus, what’s up?”

“Karl, glad I caught you. You have a minute? We need to discuss some pack

matters.”

“I’ve got a moment,” I say, feeling a knot of tension that I hadn’t noticed before

start to unwind. “What’s going on?”

“First off, the lumberyard deal went through. They’re asking if we’re okay with

them expanding a bit more into our territory.”

I think for a moment. The owners of the lumberyard have been allies for years,

and the lumberyard provides jobs for pack members. “Fine by me, as long as

they stick to the agreed environmental safeguards.”

Enter title…

“Great. I’ll confirm it with them.”

“What else?”

“We’ve had some land disputes on the west boundary. The Everwinter pack is

claiming it’s theirs.”

I grit my teeth. The Everwinters are notorious for pulling stuff like this. “Alright,” I

say with a sigh. “Let’s not start a war over it. Offer a meeting to discuss it, and

go heavy on the diplomacy. Remember, their Luna loves our pack’s specialty:

Turkish delights. Get her a fresh box of them. It’ll sweeten the deal.”

“Understood. Oh, and you’ll have a couple of contracts to e-sign tonight. Expect

some emails.”

“Sure, send them over,” I reply.

Marcus pauses for a moment before he speaks again, choosing his words

carefully. “And, Karl, there’s something else. Some of the pack… they’re talking.”

I feel a prickling sensation at the back of my n*eck, a warning from my wolf.

“Talking? About what?”

“About you not being around much. They say you’re shirking your duties as

Alpha.”

I close my eyes for a moment, inhaling deeply. The irony isn’t lost on me: I step

out to escape one problem, only to be confronted by another.

“Marcus, what’s my approval rating?” I finally ask, needing to know how deep

the wound goes.

“It’s… not the best lately, Karl. You should be aware of that. You’ve always been

one to prioritize the pack, so your absence hasn’t gone unnoticed. It’s fixable,

though. You just need to come home.”

I feel a pang of guilt, and it stings. “Maybe I have been shirking my duties,” I

admit, looking up at the sky as if it holds answers. The stars twinkle back,

indifferent to my problems. “I’ve been distracted lately.”

“Distracted?”

I hesitate, reluctant to bring up Abby and the complicated web of issues

surrounding her right now; how my efforts to gain her favor only worked to a

certain extent. How she’s still rejecting me, even tonight. “I can’t talk about it

right now, Marcus. But I understand what you’re saying.”

Marcus sighs on the other end of the line, a heavy sound that says he’s carrying

his share of burdens, too. “When can you be back, Karl? We need our Alpha. In

person.”

“Very soon,” I say, feeling the weight of that promise as I make it. “I’ll come back

full-time to the pack, I swear.”

“Thanks, Marcus. Bye.”
