Bonded By Destiny

Chapter 28

***Tamara***

'That was totally unwarranted Ryker. ' I massaged my temple a little aggressively.

'She asked for it Tamara.' He continued perusing a file that was on his desk, totally writing off my argument.

'Ryker you know you were a little too draconian on her. ' I sighed in defeat, his eyes remaining fixed on the file contents.

'Tamara, if you have nothing else to say then give me some peace to sort out these treaties. ' He didn't lift his face to look at me, no, he only waved his hands in a perfunctory manner.

'Fine. ' I sat there staring at him like a creep. His eyebrows would crease whenever he was in deep thoughts. I noticed how often he would lick his lower lip while he wrote something down. He would squint his eyes whenever something didn't appeal to him and once in a while he even scoffed at some stupid treaty I presumed.

'Will you sit there all day looking at me? ' I bet his instincts were always quite on point.

'No, I'm leaving. ' I stood up, fighting a smile from forming. I had this facade up, and I wanted him to think I was mad at him.

'It's...( He looked at his wrist watch)2.23pm, you have about 37 minutes to go shower and do what women do with Janette. ' He put his pen down with a clank, then sat up to look at me.

'Yeah yeah, I won't be late for the meeting. ' I rolled my eyes. I was not looking forward to that meeting at all. It was a family oriented and something about Theo and his father Pete being there just rubbed me off the wrong way.

'See you then. ' I smiled at him, then leisurely sashayed to the door, giving him a nice view of my ass in tight denim shorts. I swear I heard him cuss as I closed the door with a bang behind me.

The afternoon was far from being bright, the sun today hadn't graced our lands with it's captivating rays. It was grey with the normal blue sky enclosed by tumultuous  dark clouds. It was slightly calm, with a little bit of wind blowing across the pack lands.

'Greetings Luna. ' A young werewolf waved at me as I passed by a few homes, heading to Janette's place.

'Hi there little one. ' I cheerfully beckoned him over, a few passers by standing to look at our interaction.

'What's your name? ' He smiled at me, jumping up and down. I squatted in front of him, a warmth blooming in my heart.

'Steel. ' He happily replied, showing off his attractive teeth gap on his upper teeth.

'Just like the name of this pack? ' He nodded enthusiastically, blinking his long lashes rapidly.

'Okay Steel, why are you not in school? ' It was a school day and all the kids were supposed to be taking classes until 3. The school was in the pack grounds, specifically built for werewolves to study there.

'My mother said that I can't go. ' His tone changed, the words barely perceptible to me.

'Who's your mummy sweetheart? ' Oh I was going to pay the woman a visit.

'Mrs. Kagwe. ' Oh I had no idea that she had a child. I really needed to talk to her about letting Steel go to school like the rest of the pups. It was my duty as the Luna to make sure that every one was comfortable in the pack.

'Okay, see you soon.' I kissed him on the forehead before resuming my walk to my friend's house. I received a couple of greetings, and each time my heart would skip. Before I became the Luna, snorts and insults would be thrown my way. But now, things had really changed. A part of me knew that the snaky comments had stopped days ago, when the Alpha delivered the warning and decided to use Monica as an example.
