Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle (Silver and Elliot) novel Chapter 26

My cheeks burned as Leo explained the event.

A pack gathering? The night of the full moon?

This couldn’t be happening right now. I couldn’t attend a pack gathering during the full moon. I couldn’t attend any gatherings during the full moon.

That was the one night of the month that I transformed into the monster I am. Nobody can know about this secret I harvest deep inside. They wouldn’t want me as their Luna if they found out the truth. They would probably hunt me down and kill me… or banish me. Elliot would never look at me the same.

Panic started to consume me, and I bit my lower lip to keep from going into a full panic attack. Noticing my displeased face, Leo cocked his head to the side.

“I’m just not into large gatherings,” I told him, which wasn’t a lie, but not the full truth either. “Maybe we could do this another time? Or maybe I don’t have to attend…?”

“The gathering is for you, Luna,” Leo reminded me, his brows knitting together. “Elliot had been preparing for this all month.”

“Right,” I said, chewing on my bottom lip. “I just don’t think a big gathering is necessary.”

“This would be your first event as the pack’s Luna. You must be there.”

I nodded, forcing a smile on my lips.

Later that evening, I tried to have the same conversation with Elliot during dinner. When I brought up having the gathering on a different night, he looked at me like I had gone crazy.

“What’s wrong with the full moon? That’s when we are at our strongest. It’s most appropriate to have the gathering during that time. Besides, the preparations have already been made and the pack is alerted of the gathering.”
