My Guardian Married My Sister But I’m His Alpha Chapter 09
Sterling nodded.
“I understand.”
He said it calmly, as if she had just asked him to pass the salt.
Then he took out his phone and made a call.
“Clear my schedule for tomorrow morning. Inform the Beta I’ll be attending the Nightfall memorial.”
He stood and started for the door.
After a few steps, he stopped and looked back at Chiara.
“Chiara Moretti.”
“Yes?”
“Wear black tomorrow. And wear your father’s insignia. You’re going to a memorial, not an audition to be Riverbend’s Luna.”
Then he pushed through the doors and was gone.
Chiara remained on the sofa, a lump forming in her throat.
For the first time since her father died, someone had stepped in front of her.
Back in her room, her phone buzzed.
It was Francesca.
She had sent a photo.
A pale pink suit hung in a wardrobe.
*You don’t have to answer me, Chiara. I already picked out an outfit for you to wear to meet Tucker tomorrow. I had it sent to your room.*
*Pink suits you. Tucker likes girls with gentle scents, the kind who look a little softer, more obedient.*
*Stop being stubborn. You need to form a formal tie with a Pack sooner or later. Riverbend is willing to offer you a Luna candidate position. That’s a very sincere offer.*
Chiara enlarged the photo, then shrank it again.
