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

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 334: Lucas“What…? No, that… that can’t be right,” Sutton protested.My heart dropped into my gut. To make accusation like that was a death sentence. To even suggest it to another member of the royal family was beyond treason. This wasn’t a foolish woman. Reading Leanetta’s journals told me enough to know that. If Korinna was going to make such an accusation, she had evidence.But what was worse… what had my stomach on the verge of revolt… was that it made sense. Maybe not to Sutton yet, but the pieces were starting to come together all too easily for me.“Honey,” Korinna continued, “I’m sorry, but it is.”“But… why?” Sutton asked.Korinna sighed. “Honestly, I don’t know,” she admitted. “At least, your mother and I could never really figure that out. All we knew was that he was behind your father’s assassination. And a lot of other things too.”“So, what are you saying…? That there’s some kind of conspiracy going on in the capital? That the king of Lycuria is just having people assassinated?”“H

Chapter: Chapter 333: Sutton“I have to say, I was expecting to see you much sooner than this,” Korinna admitted as she ushered us into the living room.“Yes, well, that’s another long story,” I told her. “But I guess I should introduce you to…”“Alpha Lucas,” Korinna interrupted, giving Lucas a hug as he followed us in. “And I believe this is Beta Jaden.”“It’s an honor to meet you, ma’am,” Lucas greeted respectfully.Korinna took Lucas’ hands, her expression serious as she spoke to him. “I owe you a huge debt for saving Sutton, young man. The Dawn Stalkers kept her well-hidden, even from me. I didn’t know she was their captive all those years.”“I guess you aren’t as off the grid out here as we thought you’d be,” I said, curious about how she knew so much.She looked back at me with a mischievous grin. “Let’s just say I’ve always had my ways,” she said with a wink.“I certainly got the impression from Mom’s journal’s that you were always the one to go to for information,” Helene commented.“Ah, yes, the good ol

Chapter: Chapter 332: SuttonLucas was evasive about the phone call he took. I knew he spoke to Soloman, but all I could get out of him was that Osric was upset that I had left. That wasn’t anything new. That may have been all it was about, but Lucas was on edge about the call. More than I would have expected.Still, I wasn’t going to push him. I trusted Lucas. If he wasn’t telling me everything, it was for good reason. While I had a gut feeling that there was more to the call, he didn’t think there was anything I needed to worry about. We both had more pressing issues to worry about.The drive to the Red Moon territory didn’t take long. I chewed my lip as we drove down the coastal road. We were at the point where we were just guessing at where to go. I was starting to feel like this was just a foolish errand. I mean, how likely is it that we would even find anything? We didn’t even know if Korinna was still alive.Lucas reached over and squeezed my hand again.“We’ll find her, Sutton,” he said. “Your mother knew

Chapter: Chapter 331: LucasSutton would have been out the door hours ago had I let her. But I insisted she get some more sleep. We both needed it. Thankfully, she did fall back to sleep fairly quickly after she made me message Helene and Jaden to be ready to leave today.Now, she was in the living room, triple checking that all the journals were packed as we waited for Helene and Jaden to join us. Max was already here and pouring a cup of coffee.“There’s chatter throughout the country, Luke,” he said quietly. “You’re movements are going to be watched outside pack territory if you’re not careful.”“That’s not surprising,” I replied.“I spoke with Alpha Thane to get an idea of the heat you’re looking at,” he continued. “He suggested you fly into his territory then drive from there. He’s already sent a landing site at a private air strip near his northern border. He’ll provide you with a vehicle to go from there.”“What about Luna Kimo?” I asked. “Do you think we should attempt to reach out for diplomacy’s sake?”

Chapter: Chapter 330: SuttonI woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. Lucas’ arm was wrapped tightly around my waist and it was still dark outside. Blinking my vision clear, I checked the clock. Five o’clock in the morning. I dropped my head back onto my pillow. Not ready to face the world yet. I sighed and snuggled in closer to Lucas as the phone stopped ringing.Until it started ringing again.With a groan, I reached over and grabbed my phone. I was ready to turn it off and go back to sleep but paused when I saw my grandfather’s contact flashing on the screen. I paused for a moment. Still wanting to just ignore it but think better of it in the end.“Grandfather,” I answered. “It’s really early. Is everything okay?”“That’s what I’m calling to ask you,” he replied sternly. “You leave the capital so suddenly? Without even saying goodbye.”I winced. I wasn’t exactly in any condition to tell anyone goodbye before Tarrah and I left. Even if I had been able to pull myself together, he was the last person I wanted

Chapter: Chapter 329: LucasI tried to hide that fact that my hands were shaking as my thumb hovered over the call button on my phone. Max’s message had told me to go somewhere private to call him. If he didn’t want anyone around, this wasn’t good news. Hitting the button, the call started ringing.“Lucas…” Max answered, his tone somber. “We found Sera.”“Is she…?”“They dumped her body about twenty minutes outside the city,” he said. “We’ll bring her home. Then we’ll find out who did this, Lucas. I swear we’ll end them.”My heart was in my gut. My gut was in knots. Breathing was hard.“Just… just bring her home,” I told him, disconnecting the call.Sutton grabbed my arm. “Lucas… they found her? Is she okay?”I forced myself to look at Sutton. Knowing I would give everything away the moment our eyes met. The color drained from Sutton’s face as she gasped. Shaking her head as a sob escaped. I caught her she fell, both of us sinking to the floor as she cried. My own tears starting to fall whether I wanted them to
