“What are you doing here?!” I screamed, scrambling for my towel.
“This is my room!” He shot back.
“But why would you come here, knowing I was showering?”
“I thought you were done, the water wasn’t on when I came in! I didn’t know you would try to seduce me.”
“Oh don’t flatter yourself, I thought it was Ronan. I was going to make him…happier.”
Beta Grant laughed. “Oh you learn quickly, don’t you? You’re going to use sex to keep his temper at bay. Not a bad idea. He always was a more physical person.”
“Whatever, can you get out so I can put clothes on?” I question
I groaned as I opened my eyes and lifted my head.I was in a mostly empty room that was lit dimly. I tried to move my arms and legs but they were tied to a chair.“Help!” I yelled. “Someone help me!”“Ah, she’s awake,” Reed’s voice came from behind me.He and another large man now stood in front of me. “Wow you really did want to tie me up,” I shook my head.“What can I say? I’m a straightforward guy.” Reed chuckled.“Do you know who my husband is?”“Alpha Ronan. We’re more than aware.” The other guy
“Ronan!” I cried. “Help me!”Ronan changed forms quickly. His silver wolf looked furious and ready to kill, but didn’t make a move. I realized he was waiting for Reed and Dirk to change forms too. His confidence was insanely attractive.The moment Reed and Dirk turned into their white and brown wolves, Ronan attacked. The sound of yelps and barks echoed through the room as Beta Grant entered the room and ran over to me.“Shit! Luna Bowen, are you okay?” He gently pulled me up. He actually looked concerned for me.“They wanted information that I didn’t have,” I gulped.“It’s okay, you’re okay now.” He brought me to his h
I had been married to Ronan for three months.I had to admit I didn’t hate it that much. When we came back from our honeymoon, we were totally infatuated with each other. I was more than ready to be his Luna and support him.The best part about all of this was that I hadn’t made Ronan mad once since coming back. Things were kind of perfect.Except for Beta Grant of course.I swear he was even meaner to me now than when I first met him. He was rude and blunt and didn’t treat me like a sister or a Luna. He’s the worst.“Morning, beautiful,” Ronan came up behind me and kissed my cheek as I was doing my hair one morning.
I looked up at him in horror.Beta Grant had been right and I hated it more than anything.“Don’t ever speak to me like that again, do you understand?” He spat before stomping out of the room.I wasn’t sure how long I was on the floor before I heard a voice causing me to jump.“Why are you on the floor?” I looked up and saw Beta Grant, whose face fell when he saw me. “What happened to your face?”“I didn’t fake it well enough,” I answered shakily.“Fuck, he hit you?” He helped me up. “God, Bowen, I told you-”“Please save m
Ronan seemed kind of suspicious about Trisha and I taking a girls day.I think he was worried I would tell her that he hurt me, but it was much too late. She of course, was more than aware.I told her (leaving out as much detail as possible of course) about our fight the previous night. She thought it was bold of me to even bring up the fact that he hit me.“Bowen, you don’t want to make things worse.”“They’re not going to get better,” I shrugged.Trisha sighed. “You have to think carefully about your next move and if you’re going to keep acting so boldly. That will get you more consequences.”I groaned. &ldq
“You…you do?” I asked nervously.“Yes…you told her how poorly I’ve been treating you.”My body relaxed. He didn’t know I’d gone to see Ewan and he didn’t seem angry at all.“Oh um…yeah, I just…I didn’t have anyone else to talk to and I thought of all people she would understand,”Ronan’s eyes saddened. “Because of my father?” I nodded. “Bowen, I don’t want to be like him. I want to be better than him. I know I said I wanted a marriage like theirs, but I meant because they love each other a lot regardless of the bad shit.”If only he knew how his mother really felt.
“What?” Beta Grant asked. “You must hurry! Get Luna Bowen to the garage!” “Why the garage?” “It’s what Alpha Ronan said! We must go now!” Beta Grant grabbed my hand and pulled me up. I tried to keep up, but these damn heels were going to break my ankles. “Bowen faster!” He urged, tugging me harder. “I’m trying!” I exclaimed. Finally we reached the garage. Beta Grant quickly locked the side door. “Who would even be attacking us right now?” I asked. “I don’t know, but Ronan has a lot of enemies.”
My eyes widened.“A-A baby? Darling we just got married!”“I know, so now it’s time to start working on having them, right?” Ronan questioned. “It’s what I want.”“What if..it’s not what I want?”Ronan’s jaw clenched. “Could you try to want it?”I bit my lip. “Ronan it’s just…I’m only twenty. It just all feels so fast and soon. Can’t we give it a few months maybe?”“No,”“So you’re going to force me to have a kid with you?”“If I
“Hello, Scarlet Manes and Eclipse Pride,” I started.It was two days later. I had pretended to mourn and cry like a Luna was supposed to and now it was time to address them all.“It is with a heavy heart that I announce that both Alpha Conrad and my husband Alpha Ronan are dead. An unfortunate misunderstanding led them to a vicious fight in which they both died from the wounds they sustained from one another. Luna Alice and I are both in mourning, but we wanted to address you to let you know things will be okay.”“The alliance will still stand,” Alice announced. “We will have a new Alpha: Tara. She has served under Alpha Conrad for many years and knows this pack better than anyone else. She will continue to take care of us.”“And for the Eclipse Pride, Beta Grant will take over the duties of Alpha and I will still be Luna. We have many ideas on how to make our packs even better and we will work alongside Alpha Tara and Luna Alice while we do that.” I declared.“I promise to take good
“Grant!” Tara shouted, pulling the cover up.. “Darling, this-this isn’t what it looks like, I swear! I just…”“Tara…please,” Grant whispered. “I actually don’t care.”“You don’t?”“Not even a little bit.”“Is this who you’re in love with, Alice?” I questioned. “Yes,” She squeaked. “I thought you said it was over.”“It was but…I couldn’t stay away. I mean she was always so close and beautiful. A-and Conrad clearly doesn’t want me anymore and Grant wasn’t being attentive enough.”“Sorry about that,” Grant muttered to Tara.“You were never going to love me were you?” She asked. “No…I’m in love with someone else.”“Bowen. I tried to ignore it, but it was kind of in my face all the time. Of course how could I judge? I’m in love with my brother’s wife too.”“Speaking of Conrad,” I started. “He’s going to kill you Alice.”“What? Why? Did he find out about me and Tara?” She asked hysterically.“No, he says you’re useless to him now since you’re not interested in him. He also wants to kill
Sometimes I felt like a single parent.Ronan paid Clio no attention and barely acknowledged her. Everyone else adored her. She was a beautiful and happy baby. She had just started smiling and it was the highlight of my life. “Hi pretty girl,” I cooed. “Aren’t you tired? You kept Mommy up all night, you must be tired!”Ronan never got up in the middle of the night to hold or comfort Clio. He always made me do it and claimed he was busy the next day and needed his rest. He couldn’t be busy every day.“Yes you did keep Mommy up all night with all your crying,” I rubbed my nose against hers. “But you’re so cute that I don’t even care.”“Hey,” Grant entered the nursery. “Did you get any sleep last night?”I shook my head. “I’ve gotten like eight hours all week. Ronan doesn’t help with anything.” “He’s a fucking loser like I thought he would be. He's useless!”“He’s just busy,” I muttered, setting Clio in her crib. She looked up at the crystal mobile with fascination. Ronan almost didn’t
“What?” Ronan roared. “No! I’m supposed to have a son!”“I’m sorry, Alpha Ronan, we thought it was a boy!” The healer shivered with fear.“Fuck! This ruins everything!”“Ronan,” I said softly. “Honey, please.”“No, Bowen, it’s supposed to be a boy! You were supposed to give birth to the future of the pack.”“She’s still our baby, Ronan. We still created a life together, that’s what you wanted.”“I thought you would have a boy.” He whispered. “This isn’t right.”The healer shakily walked over to me and put the baby in my arms. She was so beautiful. I couldn’t help but smile down at her. She was so tiny and perfect. How could Ronan be so mad about something so magnificent?“Ronan, darling just look at her,” I urged. He forced his eyes down to our daughter in my arms and I saw his face soften. “She looks like you.”“Right? Isn’t she amazing?”“Yeah, I guess she is.”“What should we name her? Some with an ‘R’?”“No, that's only for Alphas,” Ronan responded. “Um, I don’t know, you pick, I
“So how are things going with Alpha Conrad?” Trisha asked. “I’m handling him and everything has been fine.”That wasn’t entirely true. He had cornered me several times and forced kisses on me, but at least nothing to the extent of hand jobs and eating out had happened again. I was still toying with him and making him think I could possibly love him one day.Idiot.“Well that’s good. You’re learning how to keep things calm, Bowen.”“If Grant or Ronan found out how he’s been hounding me, they wouldn’t be pleased.”“Grant?” She raised her eyebrows. “What does he have to do with anything?”“He-he’s my bodyguard. It’s his job to protect me and if he finds out someone is making that job more difficult I’m sure he’d be upset.” I explained. “Is that the only reason he would be upset?”“What other reason would there be?”“I don’t know, I’m just curious.” Trisha chuckled. Oh she had to know something right? Otherwise why make such a comment?“I feel like you have something to say and you’re
I was looking at myself in the mirror.One year ago I did the same. I had to hype myself up so that I could have sex with Ronan. Tonight was completely different. I was excited to get into bed with Ronan and feel his hands on me. I wanted every second of pleasure. I had found the sexiest maternity lingerie that I could. I knew it would make Ronan happy. He liked seeing lace on me.“Bowen, is everything okay?” Ronan asked just like he had a year ago. “Yes, darling, I’m coming!” I smiled at myself before opening the door. Ronan was already in bed in nothing but his briefs, waiting for me. “Fuck,” He whispered. “You look amazing.”“Do you like it?” I asked. “I love it…get over here.”I strutted over the bed and straddled Ronan before leaning down to kiss him. His strong arms wrapped around me as his fingers gently slipped in my hair and gently pulled. I bit his lip and slowly pulled away, causing him to groan. My hips moved back and forth, grinding against him and feeling him beco
A year ago, I woke up happier than ever.I was so excited for what would happen later that day. I was going to marry the love of my life. I was going to stand across from him in front of the whole pack and profess my undying love for him. I was going to become Luna of the pack. I was ecstatic.I still remember bursting out of my room and seeing my father crying. They were happy tears. He had never been more happy that I had found someone who loved me as deeply as Ewan did. Everyone knew Ewan was head over heels over me. It was too obvious.Not just in the way he looked at me, but when he announced that he would give up his title just to be with me that sealed the deal. We were a couple desperately in love with each other and nothing could tear us apart.It was beautiful. From then on everyone was so excited for us, so ready to see us thrive as the leaders of this pack. My dad sat me down the morning of my wedding and told me how proud he was of me and that this was just the beginnin
“Can I talk to you girls about something?” Tara asked. This couldn't be good.“Sure,” Alice stated. “What is it?”“Sex.”Oh god no.“What um…what about it?” I asked.“Are we really the best people to discuss this with?” Alice questioned. “I mean we’re kind of all family.”“Not really we aren’t. I don’t have anyone else, Al, you know that,” Tara whispered. “I can’t ask Conrad about these things. You and Bowen are married and know about these things.”Alice sighed. “Okay, what is it?”“Well, Grant and I have been…intimate since our wedding night, only I always have to initiate.”“Does he not want to have sex with you?” Alice asked. “No, he does, once I initiate, but it seems like he’s never the one to make the first move. Bowen, would you know why that is?”“Why would I know why?” I questioned. “You’ve been around him for almost a year. Is he sexually shy or anxious? Does he worry about not being able to perform?” Tara pressed.Goodness, I didn’t want to have this conversation. “Um…
I slept like shit that night.All I could see was Conrad in front of me whimpering and moaning as he forced me to touch him. His horrid voice in my ear saying those uncomfortable things. I couldn’t believe how wrong about him I was.I thought he was nice and charming, but he was just a disgusting pervert. A man who had no problem cheating on his wife.I had to remind myself I was a cheater too and so was Alice, but not like that. I never forced Grant to do anything or locked him in a room with no escape. I was sure Alice didn’t act that way either. I mean Alice and I were actually in love when we cheated.On top of that, we were with men who had forced us to be with them. Our choices had been snatched from us and we just wanted one little thing that could make it all worth it. Something that would make us happy. We found that in other people.Conrad was just horny and sick.What’s worse is that Conrad knew I wouldn’t say anything. He knew that I knew better than to wreck an alliance
