CHAPTER 31
~Rhiannon's POV~
"I'm taking a walk," I said, keeping my tone light. "Or do I need permission to breathe now?"
"We were given orders," the taller one said. "You're not to leave the quarters unless summoned."
I raised an eyebrow. "You mean to tell me that the soon-to-be Luna of this pack… of your Alphas, can't take a stroll without being interrogated?"
They didn't answer but remained rigid where they stood.
Fine. It was time to try a different approach.
I stepped closer, lifting my chin. "Listen well. If either of you tries to block my way again, I will make it my mission to ensure you're both removed from your posts the moment I become Luna. You'll be lucky if all you're doing is guarding the pig sty."
The younger one faltered. The older and bolder one tilted his head. "Until then, you are not my Luna. And we cannot go against Alpha Kael's direct orders. For now, you are just a slave bought for their pleasure."
