"Sky, don't be angry, tomorrow I'll be flying out to that banker. The ring from my grandmother was to go to my mate. My damn father gave it to Choline. Fortunately it still found it's way to my mate. I won't have you lose it now.

"The other ring is dangerous for others to have and dangerous for my mafia to have floating around. It could make a target of whomever ends up with it. By rights it's yours as well. As our mate, my mate there is none higher other than me. Not even my brothers are above you in the mafia."

"Yeah, right, I heard what was said. Females aren't respected much in the mafia."

Kacey gives her a smile reminiscent of a snake. "Perhaps some of the mafias are that way, but in mine you are second only to me. Should you wish you could be equal to me." 

Sky shivers and shakes her head. "No thanks, Kacey. You know that I really don't want to have any thing to do with that part of your life. The farther away I can be from that the better."

"Then I won't include you and just have my brothers continue as they are." Kacey reassures her. "But the ring still needs to be returned to you."

Sky nods thoughtfully and continues on towards their goal. She has a date with a stupid alpha that wants to die.

It doesn't take them much longer to get there. The arrogant alpha sneers at her as he looks her over dismissively. "She's not much to look at. Should have taken my girl and made her your luna."

Sky looks him over and shakes her head. "Why would any one want to follow someone so obviously weak and stupid? He is fucking insane and you still put up with him. Oh, well, let the female do the man's work. At least that way it will get done right."

Her words make all the males stiffen in anger, except the Legrand mafia and pack. They aren't sure if they should be angry or laugh at what their luna managed to do. Her mates decide to laugh as do her knights.

That is the last straw with the alpha/boss of the opposing mafia. He runs forward and tries to attack the female that dared to disrespect him.

Tried being the operative word there. Sky ducks under his swing made clumsy by anger and has her hand turn into claws that rips his abdomen wide open. Then she swipes his gonads as she says, "You won't be needing these."

Covered in blood and other things Sky stands up then grabs the man by the neck. He'd been too busy holding his insides inside him to do anything else. "You should have loved and nurtured your mate. Then you would have had several strong boys to take over after you. Instead you have one foolish girl that has decided she'd rather be a full time whore in one of Kacey's whorehouses then die. 

"Instead of a large posterity, with many many grandchildren you will have none. But then you won't be living long enough to mourn that fact." Sky says coldly even as she then rips out his throat.

She looks down and spits on the dead man at her feet before looking at the mafia and pack before her. "I know many of  you are backward idiots, so I'll make things easier for you. Alpha Kacey will be taking over on my behalf. What he tells you take as my words. I'll remain as luna and there will be some sweeping changes taking place. Hopefully you won't remain in the dark ages for much longer. But if you refuse to accept the changes then there will be several deaths."

"Luna, what should we call you?" One of the watching females asks trying to hide a satisfied smile.

"Call me Sky or Luna Sky. I have no problem with the informal but my mates would prefer the more formal address.

"Now for the first change." Sky says and smiles as she looks over the females. She loses the smile as she notices many bruises and many holding some part of their body as if in pain. "Any mate that cheats on their mate will be executed for attempted murder. Any mate that abuses their mate the mate will be able to reject that piece of shit and no harm will be allowed to come to the one that was abused. Should the abused mate wish to change locations that will be permitted as well." Sky notices that many of the females look sideways at the males then one hesitantly comes forward. She is holding her side and seems to be having trouble walking.

"Luna, I would like to reject my mate at this time. Will that be permitted?" The male that she was standing next to pulls her back and raises his hand to hit her. Before the blow can land Seamus is there stopping him.

"Only a weak and cowardly man hits a female. Only a shit coward hits his mate." Seamus tells him.

Sky looks back at the female. "Seamus won't allow him to hurt you again. He will be taken to the cells after this and punished if he survives the rejection. Go ahead."

The female looks nervously from Sky back to her mate. Then she stands tall and looks with scorn and hatred at the one that was supposed to care and love her. "I, Emily Deleuth, reject you Aaron Stockton as my mate. I hope you die a long and painful death you piece of shit." Then she spits on him as he screams in agony. Strangely enough Emily winces but other than that shows no signs of pain from the rejection.

Many of the females eyes widen and smiles take over their faces.

Several start rejecting their mates then and there. Soon many of the males that were angry and had pulled weapons were now on the ground. Some were unconscious, possibly dead it was hard to tell from where she was standing, but Sky didn't care. She was smiling at the females before her.

Those that were still living and conscious she forced them to accept the rejection. They did so hoping that that would cause their bitch mates some of the pain they were feeling as well. It didn't.

Sky talked to those still conscious, "The reason you felt such pain and they didn't, the moon goddess took their pain away since they had already survived a great deal of pain from you. I wouldn't be surprised if she gave their pain to you as well."

Sky looks over the remaining males, "Mates, true mates, are a gift from the moon goddess. They are to be treasured and loved. Hurting them intentionally other than helping them in some way like fixing a broken bone or saving their life will no longer be allowed. Those that reject their mate for any reason other than abuse, and cheating is abuse that needs to be reported to one of the alphas, or another reason just as valid, but I can't think of anything like that right now, will no longer be acceptable. Those that do, they will never have children nor will any of the relationships survive for long.

"Those that do reject your mate for just cause will be given a second chance mate and if you want children without a mate then my knights will be more than happy to give you one, but you'll have to move to the main part of the pack to have them do so. Just know that if you choose to have a child with one of them, that you will raise that child even if you find your second chance mate. Second chance mates, you will accept any children she has and raise them. You will do your best to love them as if they are your own, because they are part of the female that is your mate. If you are unable to do that you will need to reject her and you will never again find someone to love or have children.

"This is from the moon goddess herself, not me. I won't be able to see how you are treated or if you reject for cause or not. She will and will reward you accordingly. She is tired of the treasure being treated like garbage."

Sky looks around and feels her mates at her back. "Let's go get you cleaned up before we take a look around the pack." Kacey whispers as he pulls her back against him.

"Luna, alphas, what about the group that left a few days ago?" Someone in the remaining crowd dares to voice out.

"You mean the group that teamed up with other allies of ours and rogues and attacked us?" Kacey says coolly to the crowd.

There is some muttering heard from them but some cries as well. They all know that to attack Legrand is a death wish that will be carried out and likely carried over to the pack or mafia that attacked them.

"Kacey, don't be mean." Sky says softly.

She faces the crowd, "They or at least most of them are currently sitting in cells. Once they take an oath of loyalty to the Legrand pack they will be allowed to return home. Well, most of them will at least."

"Wha-" someone starts saying before they are cut off by others. Sky hears, "Don't fuck this generosity up for those that live."

Ellis is the one to speak now. "We will be letting those that blood oath to us return to their families. The rogues have been returned to sanity and many have found mates and will be staying with us. Some are very hurt and need more time to heal before they can return to their packs. Well, they won't be allowed to return until after we deal with the traitorous packs." Ellis says and the crowd shivers in fear as he says this. There is a look in his eyes that make them swallow in fear and back away from them all.

Sky whispers, "When  are you going against the other mafia/packs?"

"Tonight while we are on our date. Each of my brothers will be teaming up in order to deal with a different mafia. I already have scouts watching them and giving hourly reports. Hopefully by the time we finish dinner the other packs will be dealt with. I would like your permission to keep your knights here for added protection since my brothers, including Wyatt will be elsewhere."

"Yes, of course." Sky replies even as she slowly walks forward being guided by Kacey and the others to the newest pack house.

"After I get cleaned up I'll want to look over their orphanage." Sky tells them.

Kacey nods, "I figured that would be one of the first things you would like to do. I'll make sure that the beta is free to take you and your knights around. I'll need to get as much work done as possible before our date."

Sky nods before realization strikes, "Wait, are you sure that you should take the time to go after the rings tomorrow?"

Kacey looks grim as he replies, "Yes, that banker needs to be put in his place and each day he isn't means it will be more difficult to obtain the rings once more."

Sky looks disturbed by this. "Then shouldn't you go tonight?"

Kacey looks at her astonished. "Are you trying to get rid of me?"

"No, it's just you waited two weeks to go after the rings..." Sky trails off as she sees Kacey shaking his head.

"You are more important than those rings. I didn't wait two weeks, I didn't know two weeks ago about them missing. That is relatively recent that I found out about them. They can wait until tomorrow. Would you like to come with me?" Kacey likes that idea better than leaving her unprotected by any of her mates. Her knights will give their lives, but it is the mates job to protect.

"Really?" Sky asks astonished and pleased.

"Really." Kacey replies and smiles.

"I would love to go with you." Sky says and smiles.

Kacey finally feels like he's done something right with his mate and his wolf relaxes a bit making it possible for Kacey to relax as well. But not too much since they are in unsecured territory.
