The Luna Legacy - Genesis

CHAPTER 42 RIVALUNA

NOAH'S POV

After Taylor left with my mother, I was left with my father and grandfather in the study. They already know that she is my mate now it's time to share with them that she was in trouble and needed the pack's protection. The fact of the matter is that if she leaves because the pack will not protect her along with her family then I would leave with her also. There is no way in hell that I would ever let her go, not now and not ever. From the day I laid eyes on Taylor I knew that I would go to the ends of the earth with her.

"Dad, grandfather, there is something I have to tell you about Taylor" in unison they both turn to look at me.

"What is it son?" my fathers say, giving me their undivided attention.

"She's in trouble, and she is hiding with her little sister Sophie and her nephew Sam".

Their stares were piercing, my dad was the first one to speak "what kind of trouble is she in son?"

"She's hiding from the boy's father, he abuses the boy and the boy's mother, her older sister" I say.

"That doesn't sound like such a big problem, humans always make thinks grander than they are, aren't there human laws in place for such things? My grandfather says.

"Giorgio Berlusconi jr. from the Berlusconi pack in Italy, it's not a human issue" I respond.

They were both pissed that I didn't tell them earlier and insisted that we discuss it more after the party is over. One thing that all of us agreed is that we will keep her safe no matter the cost. My family understand the bond of a mate. They know that if I had breath, I would never let any harm come to Taylor, with or without their help.

We left the study and went to join the party in the back yard. I see mom with Taylor still walking around introducing her to the guests, so, let them be. We all know that when my mother is at these social events then we do not disturb her until she is to her heart's content.

I start talking to a few of our top guards about security and logistics issues when I pick up her scent, Charlotte . Charlotte is an old acquaintance, the niece of one of my mother's friends. She and I have been friends since we were kids, we fooled around quite a few times throughout high school and college.

A few years ago, she came on to me so fucking strong one night after a mutual friend's birthday party and against my better judgement I fucked her, more than a couple times. Our childhood, fling started again but it ended not too long ago.

I was just coming out of what you could call a bad breakup, and I allowed it to go on longer than it should have. It ended permanently about a year ago, because she thought that I would have taken her as a chosen mate and when I didn't, she got pissed and gave me an ultimatum. A fucking big mistake on her part, I cut her off as fast as she could end her fucking statement.

I tried that once before and that was a mistake that I would never make again. After that I made a vow that I would never commit to anyone who wasn't my mate. Charlotte has been trying to get back inside my bed ever since. She is a beautiful and intelligent woman but just like all the women before and after her they couldn't command my attention for too long.

I'm sitting at a table with my brother Jonathan, his date Caroline, Elijah and Katie when I see Charlotte approach my mother and I become uneasy. At my angle I can see Taylor's face, she looks a bit uncomfortable, as she stares at Charlotte.

I am observing everything while drinking my bourbon and I make a mental note to talk to Charlotte just so she knows not to fuck herself. Charlotte has gotten into altercations with women I have dated in the past. She needs to know what the consequences are if she even thinks about trying that with Taylor.
