They led by example, and although they did not enforce a Goddess-Gifted Mate upon their pack members, it was preferred that they accepted them Mischa wondered if their Goddess would bless her with a second Mate one day, one that wasn’t Christy’s or Anthony’s and was solely hers, and she would live with him from that moment on, and not have anything to do with Anthony at alt anymore.
Would he care, get jealous, annoyed and angry about her never spending time with him, or would he just be happy because it meant he didn’t have to spend time with her, and could just live with Christy and never have to concern himself with her again.
A small chuckle escaped her as she wondered just how Anthony would handle the table being turned on him. Have him see that moment where she scented out another, and got up and walked off to go and claim them, without so much as even sparing him a glance.
Marking and Mating him without consulting him the Alpha to the pack and just expect him to smile and be gracious about it. Do all those things he had done to her in return, then have him have to see her smiling and laughing, happy with her other Mate all the time and paying him no attention whatsoever.
Choose only to have that second Mate sate her heat needs. Something she knew a she-wolf with two mates that weren’t mated to each other got to do. Choose where she slept every night, choose who got to sate her needs and create pups with. Showing Anthony just how it felt to be left out of their mate bond.
Christy would likely love it, find a way to make it out that Mischa no longer cared for Anthony at all and tell him to just reject her for being so callous and uncaring, which would see Christy as the only reigning Luna of this pack.
She wouldn’t even argue it, just stare at him and smile ‘You may if you want to, but it’s just the will of the Goddess, is it not? Now we both have a second Mate is all. Shouldn’t you be accepting of this like I was of your second Mate?’ They would be the very words she would speak, putting him in his place calmly, making it out that he was the one that couldn’t handle it and was all he-wolf jealous when he, in fact, had been gifted the very same thing, and she’d not arced up about it at all.
“What amuses you?” Anthony’s voice interrupted her thoughts as he walked into the Luna’s office where she was sitting. Though there was no smile in his voice as he spoke to her.
Her eyes moved to him. He was back from dropping Christy at the pack hospital, it seemed. He was she
noted carrying a small bouquet of flowers. He walked over to stand next to her desk and frowned when she didn’t answer him, but just leaned back in her Luna chair and stared up at him, it kind of put more distance between herself and him.
“Thank you for understanding the current circumstances and my absence from your heat” He stated softly
I after a moment. “but Christy’s heat was… unlike any other before, her bouts came every 30 minutes or so and were quite painful. I did try to leave her to come to you, but she was in agony.
“Clawed at herself, tearing into her own body when I tried to leave her to tend to you. I’ve got the pack doctor running blood tests, something was very wrong, I feel.”
“Mm.” was her only comment because she wasn’t understanding of it, he just presumed that she was.
She watched him place those flowers on her desk “Thank you for having the pack doctor and staff on standby for when it was over… though how did you know to do that? Brent said you requested it specifically from him,” he asked her.
Mischa raised an eyebrow at him as she read between the lines. This wasn’t an apology. This was a polite way of accusing her of it being her fault. “Are you accusing me of doing something to Christy?” she asked right back.
He said nothing, and she shook her head at him. “I’m a Luna, Anthony, in case you forgot that very thing. As you yourself just stated, I understood what was going on. I also figured out if you couldn’t leave her for even one of my bouts of heat, over the course of three full days,” she pointed out to him.
“That either, you opted not to come and sate my needs of your own free will and, on purpose, abandoned me to suffer them alone, causing me pain on purpose, because you only wanted to be with Christy…” She paused to let that sink in for a moment and saw him frown at what she was implying “But then I dismissed it, you would never do that to me on purpose now would you, leave me all alone and cause me pain.”
She went on, “I don’t want to believe your that cruel, so I surmised something was also off about Christy’s very sudden and unexpected heat. When I mind-link to you, I could actually feel through that link you were mating her. Laud could feel it in Shade constantly, his need to mate with her due to the scent of her heat.
“So I knew you weren’t lying to me, just to ignore me..” she stated, clearing that up. “I even checked when Christy’s previous heat was compared to this one. Because we’ve never been in heat at the same time before, it was very unusual to me. To the pack’s Gamma even.
“When I finally stopped being in heat, I had Paul check to see how long her heat naturally lasted, concerned for her and the way I or Laud knew you were mating her, and for how long without a break at that. So, yes, of course, I understood she might need time in the pack’s hospital to recover.
“So, yes, Anthony, I asked the pack doctor to prep the Luna Medical Suite in advance, even told him why at the time. Brent frowned, unhappy himself about hearing how you were mating Christy, knew as well as I could, it could cause her harm or injury.” She cleared that up as well, she wasn’t going to be blamed for simply prepping care for the she-wolf “then Anthony, it went for 9 days, not her usual 5, so of course I knew something was very wrong, everyone here did.”
He was still frowning at her, trying to figure out if she’d set this up and she knew it. Likely Christy had whispered in his ear about that hospital room being prepped for her, meant that Mischa knew something about her heat being unnatural, did something to her.
“I am a Luna and I will take care of all our pack members, including your other Luna. Have i ever done
anything to warrant your doubt about that?” she asked “On this note, why didn’t you wait for the blood results to come back before coming in here and accusing me of doing this to her… or maybe think it through properly.
