Derek’s POV
.
I checked all the files multiple times and then sighed in relief before knocking on my Luna’s door. I was not sure in what mood she would be in today.
‘Well, I guess, I know.’
“Come in, Derek.”, She said.
I made my way into her office and saw her working on the laptop. She was sitting on the couch, instead of her chair today. I made my way over to her desk and kept the files in alignment so that she would read them on a priority basis.
“Have you brought all those files which I had asked for?”, Luna asked and finally looked at me.
“Yes, Luna.”, I replied and looked at her. She looked like she hadn’t slept for nights. Well, that’s the truth. She spent her nights in pubs and clubs, partying hard to forget all her pain. She wasn’t always like this. Her mate left her for another Alpha female about two months ago, just because she couldn’t be pregnant. And after that, she was not the Luna that everyone knew.
“You don’t look good. Can I get you anything?”, I asked.
“Yes, please. Strong black coffee.”
“Sure, Luna. I will mindlink, Shaily.”, I said and mind linked one of the trusted Omega of the pack. “Now, Luna! I would like to leave. I have to check the patrolling routines at the pack borders.”
I was about to walk out of the room when I heard her voice.
“Derek, you lost your mate in a rogue attack. How did you handle that pain? And how did you get over it?”, She asked.
I slowly turned back around to face her. She looked like a broken woman. She used to be happy, full of life but now….now happiness was farther away from her. She had now darkness to her and seemed like she had lost all her hopes.
“I don’t think I'll ever get over the pain of losing her. I just learn to deal with it, hoping that one day, I will find someone that will take all my pain away from me.” I replied.
“Well, that was not the answer I was looking for. Anyway you can leave now.”, She said with no emotion in her voice.

“Are you telling the truth?”, Tobius asked.
“Obviously! I spent approx an hour with Luna last night. But my bad luck that she didn’t agree for the sex. I think Alpha Adam was a fool to leave her. Because she is such a sexy chick.”, Commented Asher.
My wolf started growling in anger after hearing these types of words for my Luna. They were speaking rubbish about her and we couldn’t do anything about it.
Why?
Well, that’s because Luna was giving them the chance to speak rubbish about her.
‘Should we talk about it with Luna?’, My wolf asked in hesitation. I was not sure whether that was a great idea or not.
From that moment, she had started going to pubs and bars and flirting with the men. Almost all the unmated males wanted her under their bed with the hope of becoming alpha of this pack. I am not bluffing about my character but I was the only one among all who was not inserted into becoming the Alpha of this pack, at least not in that way. Moreover, I never looked at Luna in that way. Yes, she was a beautiful and sexy woman, no one could deny that, but to me, it would be wrong.
“Don’t you guys have anything else to do? Or should I recruit someone else as a warrior?”, I asked them strictly.
Gasped, they looked at me in shock.
Stupid, they were so busy gossiping like women that they didn’t even acknowledge my presence.
“Sorry! Sorry, Beta Derek!”, They apologized in a low tone.
I kept my expression serious for a while. “What’s that in your hand?”
“I...I don’t know. The postman just delivered it.”, Tobius asked and passed the envelope in his hand toward me and quickly left from there.
