The Alpha's Stolen Luna
After being sent to work for the Alpha of the Dawn Stalker pack, Sutton was given to the pack's brutal Beta as his mate. After killing him in self-defense, she escapes her abusive mate only to find herself in the hands of another Alpha. An Alpha with a reputation more ruthless than the Dawn Stalkers who also wants to claim her as his. With the wounds of her last mate freshly covering old scars, she is reluctant to trust his intentions and fights to keep her newly earned freedom. Lucas, Alpha of the Ironpaw Pack, comes face to face with his fated mate — battered, bloody, and close to death. While treating her injuries, he can tell she's not a typical lycan. In fact, she insists that she isn't a lycan at all, only a meer human. But Lucas and his wolf don't believe that. As they get to know each other, Lucas becomes more and more convinced whatever has kept Sutton from finding her wolf is linked to her family's mysterious past. Before they can get answers, Lucas must protect Sutton from her previous pack. While Sutton believes Alpha Anders is coming after her as revenge for murdering his Beta, Lucas thinks his interest stems from something else. Does Alpha Anders suspect there is more to Sutton than your typical human? What is so special that he would risk a war over her? Can Sutton accept Lucas as her mate and find her wolf before it's too late?

Chapter: Chapter 280: SuttonI pushed my breakfast around my plate as I sat in the palace suite the next morning. Lucas never responded to my text the day before. And he didn’t answer when I tried to call him last night. Eventually, I gave up. Settling for leaving him a message that we had made it safely.I’d say I woke up a dozen times throughout the night, but that would imply that I actually slept. It wasn’t just because I hadn’t heard from Lucas. It was the first time since we’d met that I had gone to bed without him. I didn’t know how to fall asleep without him.“Okay, you’ve been moping all morning,” Helene commented. “What’s up?”I sat up straighter and forced a half-smile. “It’s just the first time Lucas and I have been apart,” I told her. “It’s harder than I thought it would be. I know that seems crazy but…”Helene grabbed my hand and squeezed. “Not at all,” she assured me. “The best way to deal with it is to stay busy, right? So, let’s get ready for our visit with Grandfather. Then we’ll go find Nomi. I

Chapter: Chapter 279: SuttonLucas stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him. I let out a frustrated cry, stomping my foot in anger. Nova was snapping her jaws at me in my head but I ignored her. He’d been acting off for weeks. Every time I’d bring up Raphe’s birthday, he would get moody. I tried to find ways to make it seem more fun but it didn’t seem to work. Sure, he tried to sound supportive but the bond gave him away every time.Still, I didn’t necessarily want to go without him. People would ask questions. But I suppose it was a good reason for us not to be there together. But I still didn’t think it was enough of one for us to not show up at all. So, I guess this was the best solution for both of us.I just wish we hadn’t come to it in that way.By the time I’d finished packing, I was feeling terrible for what I’d said to him. It was over line. I wasn’t wrong that he didn’t want to go, but he still would have been there with a smile. Even a forced one. And he just saw this as a party. Of course

Chapter: Chapter 278: LucasI finished my third cup of coffee as I sent my last email. I hadn’t been sleeping much the past few days. The plan to find the key had been more complicated than I had hoped and I was worried that Sera wouldn’t be able to get everything in place in time. After the first night of trying to sleep, I knew it would be no use just laying in bed tossing and turning. Even Sutton wouldn’t sleep through that for long. So, I went to my home office and started reading through Leanetta’s journals.I couldn’t tell if Sutton had realized I hadn’t been in the bed with her or not. Most of the time she seemed normal, happy. But there were moments when she felt distant, like she didn’t want to say what she was thinking. Rhonen felt those moments the worst. Only adding to my stress with his incessant prodding.“Dude, you need to sleep,” Max said as we sat in my office. “The party is tomorrow. You’re not going to make it through like this.”“Because I think it’s a good thing to live off of caffeine and t

Chapter: Chapter 277: Lucas“Eight days is more than a few, Ned,” I grumbled as the strange little man set up his workstation at my office conference table. “You better be here with good news.”Ned raised an eyebrow as he gave me a look over the top of his glasses. “Would I be here if I didn’t?”“You’ll have to excuse our Alpha, Ned,” Max said, clapping me on the shoulder. “He’s been a bit cranky lately.”I tried to throw an elbow at my Gamma but he dodged the swing. Giving up, I dropped into a chair at the table. He wasn’t exactly wrong. My mood had improved for a while but gradually soured again the longer it too Ned to crack into the contents of Nomi’s laptop.“So, Ned,” Max said, rubbing his hands together, “what do you have for us?”Ned pointed to the TV we used for presentations as he shared the screen.“There two files that were the hardest to decrypt,” he said. “I didn’t open them but they’re ready to go.”I gave him a nod to go ahead. With a click, we were shown a list of documents, images, and even a f

Chapter: Chapter 276: SuttonI was in the bathroom finishing my nightly routine when Lucas came up behind me. He buried his face in my neck as his hands wrapped around my waist, resting possessively on my belly. I covered them with one of mine as I leaned against him. Knowing where his thoughts were lingering.“One day,” I said gently.Nova came to the front of my consciousness, interested in where the conversation would go.“There’s no rush,” he replied genuinely. “But it’s still nice to think about.”“It is,” I told him. “And I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to start planning a little. It’s not like we’ve talked about it much. I mean, I don’t even know how many kids you want.”“Six,” Lucas blurted out decisively.“Six,” I exclaimed. Nova yipped in my mind, her tail shooting up in the air in surprise and intrigue.“Maybe seven,” he said. “If Jack decides to stay with his grandparents.”I twisted around to look at him in shock. “You want us to have six kids?”He chuckled. “I was an only child,” he explained. “So was Em

Chapter: Chapter 275: SuttonI turned to head down the hall to see Lucas and Max coming out of the office.“Hey, babe, I didn’t expect you to be home,” I greeted. “What are you two up to?”Lucas came up and gave me a kiss on the cheek. “Just going over some new recruiting tactics,” I said. “What were you saying about a gathering tonight?”“I’m sorry for springing it on you,” I said, “but it’s important.”“Good important?” Lucas asked.“Very good,” I replied with a smile. “Trust me. It’s just what we all need right now.”“On that note,” Tarrah said. “I’m going to head out. I’m going to pick Denny up from work and get cleaned up before we come back.” Tarrah gave me a hug and turned to go but stopped before getting more than a couple steps away. “Oh, have either of you talked to Jaden today? Do you know why he’s acting so weird?”“I messaged him this morning but haven’t actually talked to him,” Lucas said. “Acting weird how?”Tarrah shrugged. “He’s just been weird the last few days,” she said. “Like cagey. Awkward.

Chapter: Chapter 47: FerrinI was beyond ready to get this day over with. Willa had definitely given me an effective reminder to ensure everything went smoothly this evening. Not that she needed to, but I was going to do anything but complain.But it wasn’t just our sexual encounter that had me determined to make sure everything went according to plan tonight. It was her attitude. She had taken the disruptions in stride, even making light of the situation. But I hated that she was already getting used to them and that she was already feeling like I wasn’t around enough.As king of the lycans, there would be times when there would be no avoiding those circumstances. But for her to have to accept them so early in our relationship was unacceptable. She deserved my full attention and as much of it as I could possibly give. The only reason I hadn’t blocked everyone this morning was because of the event. We had too many nobles and council members still arriving, and those already here would be milling around the castl

Chapter: Chapter 46: WillaFerrin wasn’t kidding when he said he was tired. As soon as we were under the covers and curled up against each other, he was dead asleep. I lay awake for a little while, just listening to him breathe while I contemplated the next couple of days. I tried to run through any of the names and faces that I remembered from my morning with Rebekah, but lying there next to Ferrin kept my mind wondering what would happen after the dinner.We thought these few days would have been a bit easier on us both. There were fewer secrets and less sneaking around. Ferrin, Rebekah, and Shawn all confirmed that everyone seemed to buy our ruse. There were no hints of rumors that we had met any other way. And for the most part, they had not heard of any direct disapproval of a rogue werewolf being the king’s mate. That didn’t mean they would accept me, but at least there wasn’t open discontent.However, with all of that, the other obstacles we faced seemed to pile on tenfold. With the added stress, Ferrin

Chapter: Chapter 45: FerrinSomething was really bothering her. And it wasn’t the same anger or disappointment I had felt from her the night before.No, she seemed… nervous around me. Almost scared.I had never seen Willa be timid. I didn’t think she even had it in her.But whatever was causing these feelings, they were only directed at me. She had acted normally toward Rebekah and warmly toward Henry and the kids. She was a picture of sweetness and belonging.My gut clenched, imagining what could possibly have her acting so distant from me. I hated this. I needed to be close to her more than ever right now, and this is when she decided to avoid me. Frustration and even a little anger started to creep up on me. I went to the office there in my apartment and found the carafe of bourbon. I poured a glass and took a few minutes to drink it before I went back to Willa’s room.I gently turned the knob. Opening it, I found Willa standing in front of the full-length mirror in the corner of the room. I could see her fac

Chapter: Chapter 44: FerrinI didn’t sleep much longer after Willa left. The unease and anxiety that had been growing through the night had quickly seeped back into my bones. They had lessened for those few short hours I was able to hold her. But when she left, it was like a premonition of what would happen if I screwed everything up — if I made the wrong decision.We had gone through every single detail in Billy’s file that night. Scouring over every piece of information. We had relied heavily on Dante’s expertise, hoping he could shed better light on what we were looking over. With each passing hour, his thoughts were following the same path as Willa’s father’s. And with each passing hour, my mood soured even more. By two in the morning, Dante was so suspicious of what was going on that Damen insisted I fill him in on everything.I had reluctantly complied at the time, but Dante said this information did fill in a lot of gaps in the information. He went over everything again once he knew more of what we were l

Chapter: Chapter 43: WillaRebekah was right about the gazebo being a good place to escape and get some privacy away from the castle. We spent a couple hours sitting there while she told me about the people I would be meeting at my introduction dinner. She pulled up pictures from her phone to help me recognize them. By the time we were done, she had gone through over forty people of various importance, and I was feeling a little overwhelmed. But I also felt more confident about the upcoming ordeal.We decided to move on so that she could show me around the grounds a little bit more before we had to meet her family when they arrived. We were walking along the hedges when she asked me what I planned to wear to the dinner. I froze up when she asked.“Crap,” I said. “I actually have to think about that, don’t I?”She laughed softly at my mortified expression. “It’s okay. I would love to help you get ready.”“Okay,” I said with a grateful sigh of relief.“Don’t worry,” she said. “You’ll do just fine. And I highly do

Chapter: Chapter 42: WillaI was really getting tired of having to hide in rooms whenever Ferrin was acting like a jerk. I didn’t regret my decision to stay with him, but all this was becoming a bit suffocating. I couldn’t handle it if Ferrin suddenly started keeping things from me.I paced around the room for a while before I changed into my pajamas and tried to go to sleep. But I only ended up tossing and turning for a couple of hours. Finally, I let out a frustrated huff and threw the blankets off of me. I was still frustrated with Ferrin, and I was mad that I missed him, but I was also worried. It was the kind of worry that just sat in the peripheral. You know it’s there, but you just don’t know why.But then again, we both had a lot to worry about right now. So, I was probably just overreacting.I climbed out of bed and made my way through the joining bathroom and through to Ferrin’s bedroom. I paused a moment to breathe in his scent, which was all over the place. I quickly started to relax. I crawled unde
