Unwanted

Teegan's P.O.V.

I keep watching Kimberly and can't shake the uneasiness I feel. We can't let her become luna. I catch Anton's eye, and he leaves her side to walk over to me.

"Is everything okay?" We technically just met, so I hope he doesn't take offense.

"Don't take this the wrong way, but are you sure Kimberly is pregnant?" I ask him softly. He looks from me to her and back again.

"She says she is why?" Okay, he doesn't look upset yet.

"She's not showing. She should be showing if she's pregnant. You don't have to take my word for it, but I keep getting this weird vibe from her. I know she's your mate, and I showed up out of the blue, so you can tell me to mind my own business if you want. I'm just worried that she's not what she appears." To my surprise, Anton doesn't look angry at me but glares at Kimberly.

"I trust your instincts. Even as a baby, you would pick up on people who felt wrong to you. When people would hold you, most of the time, you were okay. However, with some people, you screamed until you were away from them. I guess that hasn't gone away. Kimberly is a snake that tricked me into sleeping with her and said she was pregnant. I didn't question it, but I did think it was odd she got pregnant without going into heat." Just as he finishes, the snake slithers over.

"What's this a family meeting without the future luna?" Kimberly asks while trying to get close to Joel. Anton grabs her arm.

"You will not be the luna. You're not pregnant, and I will not mark you." Everyone stops talking to look at the couple on the porch. Kimberly's face turns red with anger.

"Since when did you become a doctor? You don't know if I'm pregnant or not? I will be the luna." She screams at him. Mom and Dad walk over to join us.

"Son, what's going on?" Dad asks.

"I don't think she's pregnant, and Teegan still has the same senses she had as a pup. If she's not carrying my pup, I'm not marking her so I can still find my fated mate." Anton glares at Kimberly, who is scowling at me.

"Who the fuck does she think she is coming here and making accusations? How do you even know she's really your daughter? Maybe she's an imposter. She's probably not even really mated to the prince; he needs someone with better class than her no-good ass." Okay, I've had enough. I don't care who gets mad at me this bitch needs to be put in her place. I raise my hand and slap her hard across the face. Everyone stares at me in stunned silence.

"You won't speak to me like that. The only imposter here is you. Why did you trick Anton to make him think you were pregnant? Was it only so you could be luna?" I ask her. She moves toward me, but I don't back down. I've been dealing with bitches like her my whole life. She doesn't scare me.

"That's none of your business. As your next luna, I demand she be taken to the dungeons immediately." Kimberly screams, looking around for someone to do as she says. Instead, people laugh.

"I hate to break it to you, but even if you were going to be luna, Teegan outranks you. She's a royal princess, and you're just a royal pain in the ass." I can't help smirking at what Kiana says. My girl has always had my back. Kimberly's face turns almost purple with rage.

"Somebody do something. She can't speak to me like this." My mom grabs her by her hair and yanks her back.

"You have refused to let any of us see your ultrasounds or go to your checkups. Well, that stops now. Get me the pack, doctor, now. If I find out that you've been lying to us and tricked my son, you will be the one going into the dungeons." Kimberly screams as my mom pulls her toward an older man running up the deck steps carrying a medical bag.

"I was already prepared when I heard the accusations." He pulls out a piece of equipment and raises Kimberly's shirt to expose her flat belly. She tries to move, but Mom's hold on her is too strong. It looks like he has a small mobile ultrasound machine. That's awesome. While he runs the device over her stomach, we wait. When he stands up, I hold my breath.

"Teegan was right. Kimberly isn't pregnant," He says, smiling at me.

"You're lying. You're all lying. I am pregnant, and I will be the next luna. Let me go bitch; you're no longer the luna I am. I am better than all of you." My mom throws Kimberly off the deck, making her land hard on the ground.

"Someone take this piece of trash to the dungeon. If I have to look at her any longer, my wolf will kill her." Two guards grab Kimberly when she tries to run, and they drag her away. Anton takes me in his arms and hugs me tight.

"Thank you. Meeting her was the worst day of my life. I honestly don't even remember having sex with her, and neither does my wolf. We woke up with her in bed and assumed we had. A week later, she showed up and said she was pregnant and I was the father. Maybe now I can meet my fated mate." I hug him back, but I'm still concerned about Kimberly. What was her plan? There had to be more than just wanting to be the luna.

"I'm glad I could help," I reply.

"You'll have a new alpha tomorrow, and the luna will come later." My dad says, and everyone cheers for Anton. I don't think any of them liked her.

"Was she from this pack?" I ask Anton.

"No. I met her when I was out with friends one night. Whatever we drank had a serious effect on me, and the next thing I remember was waking up in a hotel bed with Kimberly." I don't like the sound of that. I worked for the law firm long enough to know if something doesn't sound right, it probably isn't. I don't say anything to Anton, but I'm going to figure this out.

"As for Brock's punishment. He will be put to death, but it won't be quick. He hurt everyone in this pack, and he will be hurt by all of us, too. I know this is old-fashioned, but he will be killed by stoning. Guards bring Brock to us." Joel and I follow the crowd to a clearing where a pile of rocks is already waiting. I'm assuming Dad had mindlinked someone to prepare everything. The guards bring Brock out and tie him to a tree. He smirks at the crowd.

"Hello, everyone. Let me guess: you all want to see me die. Come on, get it over with." The crowd separates, and he sees the pile of rocks, making his smile fall. I pick up the first one and step forward as my dad speaks.

"Brock, the former beta of Silver Moon, you will be put to death by stoning." Dad looks at me and nods. I take aim and throw the rock right at his genitals. Brock screams when it connects. Everyone starts picking up rocks to throw at him. He screams louder and louder as his body gets pummeled. I'm not a person who typically believes in torture, but he's been torturing people for years, including me, and because of his actions, I felt unwanted. It's time for it to come to an end. Now, hopefully, we can find the pups and bring them home.
