MavenIt’s been three weeks.Things are… awkward still. Donovan and Penelope don’t speak to us often, they haven’t joined us for training, and they seem to be in a state of shock and mourning.Amelia keeps herself busy. She’s honestly incredible. She has started to bond with the pack and even some of the elders that were so against her being Luna have come to apologize to me. She trains every day and I swear, her wolf has grown even bigger. Her wolf is larger than mine is and soon I would be nervous to try and fight against her in wolf form.She walks into our room and looks at me with a smile and I remark, “You seem rather chipper.”She chuckles, “Penelope asked if we could talk with them. I think they’re finally ready to open up to us and maybe even move on.”I smile, “That’s great.”She nods, “Let’s get ready for dinner to meet with them.”I follow her lead and watch her with a smile. She’s so graceful and beautiful and it’s nice seeing her so happy. Penelope is the only person lef
AmeliaI’m still trying to process the fact that Penelope left. I knew she wouldn’t stay forever. She’s the Luna of another pack that I’m sure they’ll want to rebuild. But… I didn’t even have a chance to get to know her. She stayed so secluded the past couple of weeks. I’m not trying to take my frustration out on Maven. I know he doesn’t deserve it. I just long for family. I wish my mother was still around; I wish my father wasn’t a piece of shit, and I wish my sister wanted a relationship with me as much as I want one with her. I know I have Maven. He’s been my best friend but… I’m concerned about our future. I need someone else I can talk to outside of him or someone that I think will ultimately go to him. Maggie is amazing, but I know when it comes down to it, her loyalty lines with him. Same for Grace and for Sophie as well. I breathe out as I let the steaming hot water run over my body and soothe my aching muscles. I’ve been working out so much and it’s taking a toll on my b
Amelia It’s been a month since Donovan and Penelope left. Ever since that night it’s like Maven and I jumped into a honeymoon phase. I mean, we’ve had sex before and I’ve always considered our relationship to be good. But now… it’s like we can’t keep our hands off each other. Anytime we see one another it’s like we’re looking for an opportunity to sneak away and have sex. Honestly, you’d think I was in heat from the number of times we’ve been intimate. I love Maven more than anything and he is proving to be an… incredible distraction from the craziness of life. I walk downstairs and Maggie sets a cup of coffee out for me as she says, “Good morning, Luna.”I can’t help but roll my eyes at her, no matter how many times I’ve told her to call me by my name she still calls me Luna. I glance around the room and say, “No Sophie? When is she supposed to come back?” She shakes her head no and says, “Honestly, I have no idea, but the Alpha might know.”At that moment Maven was coming down
AmeliaIt’s been three miserable days. All I do is sleep, get sick, drink something to stay hydrated, and then do it all over again. Maggie has given me every food she can think of to help soothe my stomach but nothing works. Maven hasn’t brought up me taking a pregnancy test again, but every time I get sick or complain in front of him he gives me a knowing look. It’s like he’s taunting me saying, “I know something you don’t know!”He would never say it out loud but he’s thinking it and it infuriates me. My phone rings and I groan as I try not to open my eyes as I move my hand around trying to find it. The incessant ringing makes my ears ring and I finally grab it and answer, “Hello?”“Amelia? Is now a good time to talk?”If my head wasn’t pounding so bad I would’ve sat up in shock. It’s Penelope. What on earth could she want?I haven’t heard from her in three weeks what could she need now?I say, “Yeah, now is fine…what’s up?”“Well…” she trails off before continuing, “I found out
AmeliaIt amazes me how time goes on and Maven and I grow stronger. Every time I think that there’s nothing else I could learn about him, something new gets uncovered. When he said he wanted to try for a family, he wasn’t kidding. We’ve been going like freaking rabbits! My nausea is still here, and I wonder if Penelope is pregnant. That’s the only thing that makes sense about why she would be sick for so long, right?Or… maybe I could be the one that’s sick?Maven walks out from the bathroom and gives me a quick kiss and says, “I’m going on a run and having a meeting with the head of our patrol. Mind link me if you need anything.”I nod, “Will do!”As soon as he's out of sight, I take a deep breath and look at the bathroom.I know I should take a test, but to tell the truth, I'm scared to. If I'm pregnant, that's a whole other life that I have to look after and think about. If we get attacked, I won't have a choice but to hide away and stay safe. I bite my tongue as my stomach chur
MavenThe meeting with our patrol took longer than I would’ve liked. Rogue attacks are more frequent and although they’ve all been minor, it has caused everyone to be on edge and to be stretched thin. By the time I get home, it’s almost time for dinner and I’m looking forward to eating with Amelia and having a relaxing night. The moment I walk inside, I’m surprised to smell one of my favorite meals. Chicken fried steak and macaroni and cheese and I can smell some vegetables too, like fresh green beans and broccoli. I look around and see Maggie setting everything out on a tray to take upstairs. I ask, "Have you seen Amelia today? How is she feeling?"She gives a half-hearted smile, "Same as usual."I nod my head and ask, "Is the food ready? I can take it up."She says, "No, not yet. I'll bring it to you guys in a few minutes.""Okay, if you say so, Mags." I walk upstairs, eager to finally spend time with Amelia. I walk into the room and immediately hear a popping sound and I look at
AmeliaMaven spooned me the whole night and would rub his hand over my belly. It's adorable how excited he is about the baby. I'm excited too, but the scene in the café replays in my head over and over again and makes me wonder who is watching. I can't risk my baby's life. I place my hand over my stomach in a protective manner and take a deep breath. Maybe we should talk to Cora and see if there's anything we can do to help keep the baby safe. When we get up, Maven goes off to do his normal duties and I walk downstairs so that I can sit with Maggie. As soon as I get down there, she sets a smoothie in front of me and says, "I made it special for you. It has extra nutrients that will help you and the baby to grow strong."I smile at her, "You're the best, Maggie, thank you."We make small talk as I finish my smoothie and then I get up and grab a bottle of water and tell her, “I’m going for a walk.”Maggie looks at me skeptically and asks, “Is that the best idea, dear? You haven’t bee
MavenAs much as I hate to admit it, the man is right. He's the first person who seems to be willing to talk. He actually values his life, which is rare for a rogue. Most rogues don't care if they live or die.But... I don't trust him at all. The only way I'm willing to allow him to live is if he agrees to answer my questions while he is under a truth serum or spell. I would need to talk to Cora to see if making something like that would even be possible.I huff as I ask, "You want to live?"Ross nods his head slowly and has his hands lifted in the air to show he brings no harm. I bite my tongue before saying, "I will let you live if you come back to the pack house, stay in our cellar, and go through questioning under a truth serum."He looks behind me at Amelia and says, "I want her help."I growl, "Not happening.""Then I want her to answer a single question of mine."I don't get a chance to tell him to fuck off before Amelia says, "What is it?""Why did you come here to Owl Bay?
