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 249: SuttonI stood in front of the mirror and took a few slow, deep breaths. My hair and makeup were professionally done and my gown fit like a dream. I was the picture of perfection. So much so that I was having a hard time recognizing myself.We had moved downstairs to a receiving room on the first floor to get ready. That way I didn’t have to all the way through the packhouse. We were minutes away from the ceremony. They would be escorting everyone into the gardens any minute now. And my nerves were fully set in. Big time.I felt my heartrate increase and my forehead get clammy as I thought about all the eyes that were going to be on me. I thought about the magnitude of what I was about to commit to and how I could ever live up to the expectations. My hands started to shake and I even felt like I was losing contact with Nova.“Hey,” Helene said next to me, turning me to face her. She looked me in the eye with the sweet, genuine smile that had gotten me through so many hard times before. She t

Chapter: Chapter 248: SuttonTwo days went by surprisingly fast. I suppose that does happen when you don’t stop moving. And I don’t think I did. Everything had gone pretty smoothly. Princess Nomi even ended up being more of a help than I had expected. But then, she had practice in giving orders. Still, she wasn’t discourteous or anything. In fact, the pack members seemed to be fascinated to have a member of the royal family so involved with the event.As helpful as she had been, she was also a bit much at times. She had been pushing more and more for me and Helene to open up more in an attempt to “get to know us better.” This just wasn’t the time for all that. Even if it was, I still wasn’t sure how close I intended to get to my newfound aunt. It didn’t help her case when she kept bringing up Hannah. Helene finally shut that topic down thoroughly last night, so it would hopefully be the last time our wayward sibling was brought up.Still, I wasn’t sure I was prepared to handle Princess Nomi today. I wanted to foc

Chapter: Chapter 247: SuttonThe dinner was interesting, you could say. Much of the conversation felt forced. It got to a point that I almost felt bad for the princess. We just weren’t clicking like I think Nomi was hoping we would. I did, however, start to think she was actually here to help. Her intentions behind the desire I still wasn’t sure about. But if my grandfather thought she was harmless, I figured I could give the woman the benefit of the doubt.It would probably make the next two days go by faster.It was already dark by the time we left the restaurant. I resisted the urge to check the time but mind linked Tanji as soon as I was in range that we would be there in a minute. I knew she would wait for me but I wanted to make sure. Excitement bubbled up in my stomach.Instead of dropping us off at the front of the packhouse, Lucas told the driver to bring the limo around the back so we didn’t have to walk so far. As we got out, I looped my arm through Helene’s and eagerly made my way to the garden. The t

Chapter: Chapter 246: Lucas“Can you do me a favor?” Sutton panted as I held her in my lap, holding the shower head over her to keep her warm.“Hmm…”“Promise to do that a few more times in the next few days,” she requested.I laughed. “I’m going to have to insist upon it,” I told her.This was exactly what I needed. What we both needed. And we would need it again before we left for the manor house after the ceremony. It was the only thing that was going to take the edge off.Once we were able to pick ourselves up again, we washed each other up before getting out of the shower. We probably took longer than we should have to get ready but I wasn’t going to let anyone hold that against us. I had blocked out all mind links, as I always did when I was alone with Sutton. So, as I buttoned up my shirt, I went to check my phone left on the dining table.A message from Max telling me the Whiskey Grand was good to go. They even called their top chef in for the evening. Another from Jaden saying Princess Nomi had already

Chapter: Chapter 245: LucasSutton had taken the news as well as I had hoped, despite her reluctance to put our desires on hold. But we were both too close to keep from knotting her and that was not the time to lose control. We would be there soon enough and until then, I needed to be the voice of reason.I did provide Sutton with a perfume that would help disguise the change in her scent. She was closer to her heat than she had gotten before and others would start to notice if we didn’t take precautions. It wouldn’t do anything to affect her shift in hormones, but it would keep others from noticing. Everyone except for me, of course. That particular form of sweet torture was something I’d have to endure for a few more days.I sent Sutton off to our apartment to shower and clean up. I had a phone call to make.“Alpha Lucas,” King Osric answered. “I was expecting your call.”“Your majesty,” I replied. “The fact that you were expecting my call makes me wonder why I was so blindsided by our early arrival.”“Yes, I

Chapter: Chapter 244: SuttonWe got Princess Nomi settled in her suite as quickly, yet politely, as we could. Once she was preoccupied and Jaden was left to deal with her guards, Soloman followed Lucas and me to his office. The moment the door was shut, Lucas turned on Soloman.“What the hell is she doing here?” he demanded. “You didn’t think to warn us that she was even considering showing up early?”‘I can assure you, Alpha, that I am just as surprised as you are,” Soloman insisted. “I can’t imagine what she could be up to or what would have prompted this… intrusion. I think we can all agree this has nothing to do with the Luna ceremony.”Lucas scoffed. “She’s here to spy but on what?” he speculated. “And why send her?”“Why not send her?” I commented. “We’re obligated to cater to her. She can follow me around wherever she wants. She can demand access to any location from anyone. And she can be here without raising suspicion. In fact, her showing support is beneficial to the pack. To snub her claims would be d

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
