Becoming a Luna Chapter 23: Explanations
*Jo's POV*I took a deep breath as I walked into my room and closed the door. Hugging my mom had made me more emotional than I was expecting, and I was trying to calm down before heading back down.After only a couple of breaths, I heard a knock on the door. I turned and opened the door to find Nikko standing on the other side. He looked at me in surprise."You actually opened it this time."I stepped aside and let him walk in without a word. Then, I walked over to the window and looked out over the backyard, mostly so I wouldn't have to look at him. I heard the door shut quietly behind me."I just wanted to come and check on you," Nikko said slowly. "But if you want me to leave, then I can."I still didn't say anything. I didn't want him to leave, but I didn't want to admit that to him either. It was quiet in the room, so I got worried that he might have actually left and looked around. But he was still standing by the door, staring at me."Please, just talk to me, Jo."He loo
Becoming a Luna Chapter 24: Time to Make Up
*Jo's POV*My body was buzzing in pleasure as it was pressed up against Nikko's, and I couldn't tear my lips away from his. He let go of my hands to press his own against my lower back, pulling me even closer, if possible.I brought my free hands up into his hair and gripped it hard, pulling his face closer to mine as I slipped my tongue into his mouth. He opened his mouth happily in response and let me deepen the kiss.Being so close with him felt amazing after the last 24 hours in my head. And the relief of talking about everything I had been overthinking was making the pleasure of the moment even sweeter. I felt both of Nikko's hands trail down my jeans, and then gasped in surprise as he cupped just under my a*s and pulled my legs around him.I pulled away from him for a second to catch my breath, and he took this as an opportunity to trail kisses down my jaw and onto my neck. His teeth scraped against part of my neck and I felt my body tense as I let out a gasp."Sorry," he wh
Becoming a Luna Chapter 25: Family History
*Nikko's POV*I tried to calm myself down as I followed Jo down the stairs. Watching her walk wasn't helping though, so I dropped down to the same step she was on. She reached out and grabbed my hand, and I couldn't help but smile.She was all mine.I wished I had made a decision days ago, because the happiness I felt was nothing like ever before. There was a lightness in my chest that hadn't been there since I had been Alpha, and it was all thanks to her.We walked into the living room to see Byron sitting in a chair by the window, and Jo's mom sitting on the couch. Jo let go of my hand to go and took a seat by her mom. The concerned look faded slightly off of her mom's face when she saw Jo with a smile, and she looked at me gratefully.I walked over and took a seat in the chair next to Byron. I wanted to stay by Jo, but I was still trying to calm down. I put my hands over my lap, just for good measure."Did you guys need me to get you anything? A glass of water or something?" J
Becoming a Luna Chapter 26: Change of Plans
*Jo's POV*After a short goodbye, and a long hug from my mom, I was getting into the car with Nikko and Byron. This time I chose to sit in the back with Nikko, which he seemed very happy about. As soon as I shut the door, he pulled me onto his lap and nuzzled into me.I looked at Byron's eyes in the mirror, embarrassed, but he seemed to think nothing of it, so I relaxed into Nikko's arms. The drive would be much better next to him. I curled up against him and breathed in the lavender evergreen I loved so much.Next thing I knew, I heard a car door shut and felt somebody moving me around. I grabbed Nikko's shirt tighter and hid my eyes. I felt as he stood up and began walking, but I didn't want to wake up the rest of the way and make it real.He had told my mother that we needed to leave because he had been away from the pack all day, so I was just waiting for the moment he would tell me he needed to leave. And I didn't want to hear it.After such a draining day, I just wanted him
Becoming a Luna Chapter 27: Romantic Dinner
*Jo's POV*Nikko meets me halfway to the kitchen and pulls me in for a kiss. My knees almost buckled from the force of it, and I was gasping in air by the time he pulled away."Sorry, I just missed you," he said with a smile, as he wrapped one hand around my back. "And I'm just happy to be alone with you."I reached up and pulled him down into another kiss."You never have to apologize for kissing me," I said softly as I broke the second kiss.He smiled and pulled away from me, bringing up the hand that was holding the flower in it. It was one of the wildflowers from the mountain, and it was a pretty light blue. I gently took it from him and looked up at him with the biggest smile on my face."You picked me a flower? That is so cute.""And set up a candlelit dinner," he said, moving to my side and keeping my one hand draped around my hip."That is seriously the most romantic thing that anybody has ever done for me," I told him. "Thank you.""You're welcome," he said as he kiss
Becoming a Luna Chapter 28: Repairs
*Nikko's POV*Stupid.Within minutes I returned to the cabin with the materials to fix the bedroom door. Seeing it broken had reminded me of how destroyed my mate had been this morning, and that it was my fault. I couldn't stand to look at it.When I walked back into the room, Jo instantly ran over and wrapped her arms around me. She pulled away and I set the stuff down. I looked and saw that she had been in the process of unpacking the bags that had been on the bed, and I appreciated her so much more. Those were another reminder of how she almost left."Next time, please don't just leave without saying anything," Jo said softly. "I was worried."The soft voice threw me for a loop. If anything, I expected her to be mad. But to see her looking sad made me feel guilty all over again."I'm so sorry," I said, pulling her back into my arms. "I had already told you I was spending nights here, I assumed you would know I would be right back. I just went and got stuff to fix the door.""
Becoming a Luna Chapter 29: Ash Time
*Jo's POV*While Nikko was taking his cold, calm down shower, I walked over to the large bed, glad I wouldn't have to sleep in it alone again. I folded back the covers and slid in, just waiting…and thinking about what just happened.My body warmed up just thinking about it. That was the closest I had ever come to having sex with Nikko, well actually with anybody. We had kind of had the talk about previous partners, but I had never actually told Nikko that I was a virgin, and in that moment, I had suddenly gotten so nervous.But he seemed to be able to tell, because he stopped soon after I had started feeling panicky. I don't know how, but he stopped right when I didn't even know that I needed him to."He probably smelled us," Cressa said sadly. She had protested loudly in my head against letting Nikko take a cold shower alone, but she hadn't won."Smelled?""Yeah, certain emotions can put off pheromones that are easy for a wolf to pick up on. Fear and lust probably being the two
Becoming a Luna Chapter 30: Fresh Start
*Jo's POV*I woke up to feel something hard poking into my back. My eyes blinked and adjusted to the morning sunlight that was pouring through the window. It took me a second to remember where I was, but when I did I smiled.Nikko's arm was draped across my side as I laid in the middle of the bed, facing the window. My body was curled perfectly into his, and my cheeks turned red as I realized what the hard thing poking into my back was.I was still just wearing my sexy lace undies and Nikko's shirt, but it had moved its way up past my belly button. Fixing it might wake up Nikko though, so I left it alone and took a deep breath. I laid there and enjoyed the feeling of him around me and the sunlight on my face.After a few moments, Nikko grunted and rolled onto his back. I laid still for a second to see if he was still asleep, and then proceeded to roll over to face him. He was still sleeping, but the second I laid back down against his arm, he tightened it around me subconsciously.

*Jo's POV**ONE MONTH LATER*"Where are you taking me?" I asked with a giggle as his hands covered my eyes, blinding me."Well, if I told you, then it wouldn't be a surprise would it?" Nikko asked back with a laugh.It had been almost a month since our little 'rogue' battle and everything was just starting to settle into place. The first couple weeks had been spent going through all of the wolves that had pledged their loyalty to our pack and investigating each of them before either admitting them to the pack or banishing them.Then, of course, there had been Frilla's trial. It lasted much longer than expected, but it was mostly because of all the new information that had crept up. It turned out that she had been spying on a few different packs for years, so even her father couldn't save her from punishment at that point.I was the one who had given them the idea for her punishment. It was decided that since she had done all of these acts in a hope to achieve Luna, that she would
Becoming a Luna Chapter 49: Mate Mistake
*Jo's POV*I stared as Frilla's black wolf slowly inched towards me. Cressa was itching to get out, but I convinced her that we should wait a minute longer. The surprise attack could be useful here, just as it was before.Watching her wolf move was like watching water move; she flowed smoothly and effortlessly. I knew now why she was the best female wolf fighter in the pack. Agility could beat strength 9 times out of 10. You can't kill something you can't catch.The purple faced Sean backed up as she got closer, and he smiled. He was confident that Frilla was going to end me as well. I could tell in the relaxed stance of his body.I continued to stand there, watching her closely as she prowled around me. The wolves from outside were all starting to gather around now, to see what all of the commotion was about. Some of them lost color in their face as they saw me, and I recognized them as pack members.Frilla used my distraction to her advantage and swiped a paw out at me. I yelled
Becoming a Luna Chapter 48: Plan to Escape
*Jo's POV*I walked over to the poor excuse for a bed and laid down, putting my face into the pillow. I hadn't seen any cameras around the room, but I figured it was better safe than sorry. I didn't want to make them suspicious now, right as I was beginning to plan an escape.Once I was sure my face was covered, I reached out with my mind."Nikko?" I called out."Jo!" he cried out almost instantly.I sighed in relief and nearly cried at hearing his voice. I had been trying to stay strong, but that didn't mean I didn't miss him like crazy. His voice had sounded so pained, and I regretted not reaching out to him first thing this morning."Yes, it's me," I replied as soon as I could get my thoughts together. "It's me.""Where are you? Are you hurt? I felt pain a few minutes ago, are they hurting you? I will kill them!" Nikko raged on and I could feel Ash reach out to Cressa."I'm not hurt, that was just Frilla." He started to interject, but I cut him off. "I'm fine. You have to li
Becoming a Luna Chapter 47: Out of Control
*Nikko's POV*Byron and Ava returned to the packhouse from the cabin and the creek and I showed them the note from Frilla that I had found. Byron let out a ferocious growl, but I knew that he had grown close with Jo while training her the last couple weeks, so I understood where he was coming from.Ash was still growling inside of my head, but I was trying to block him out and focus on what to do.Jo. I need to save Jo."Did you guys find anything that could help?" I asked desperately.Byron handed me the binder with Jo's information in it, and Ava pulled out the maps and laid them over my desk."It did look like there was a vehicle involved, but it stopped making tracks once it hit the highway. So, I can't be certain of which direction it headed." Ava said, pointing to the map as she spoke. "I can't tell how far away they would be either. Though it did look like a large van, and with limited gas stations in this part of the mountains, I am hoping that it's not too far."I looke
Becoming a Luna Chapter 46: Gathering Intel
*Jo's POV*When I woke up the second time, I felt a million times better. The ache in my head had gone, and the small bit of food had soothed my stomach. I mean, it still wasn't perfect, but prisoners can't be choosers."You seem a little too happy for someone who is locked in a room," Cressa's clear voice spoke into my mind."Cressa!" I replied, a sense of relief washing over me. "I can hear you again.""Yes, there must have been wolfsbane mixed into those drugs they knocked us out with, because I felt like I was in a coma. I could hear what was happening around me, but had no interaction whatsoever. And I still don't feel 100%.""Well, I'm just glad you're back." I stared around the room so she could see what we were dealing with. "I was about to go crazy and start talking to myself in here.""Understandable," she mumbled in disgust.The door started to open and I cowered against the wall. I explained to Cressa about my plan to embrace and encourage the idea that these captors
Becoming a Luna Chapter 45: The Rogue Truth
*Nikko's POV*"Nikko, wake up!"I started as I felt Byron roughly shaking my shoulders. I sat up quickly, disoriented. I was still laying in my bed in the cabin."What is it? What's going on?" I instantly noticed what was missing. "Where is Jo?""I don't know," Byron admitted, and I instantly focused."What do you mean you don't know?" I asked quietly. "She was just here."It was near dark outside of the window now, I must have been asleep for a couple of hours."No. When she mind-linked me, she said she was going out to go for a swim in the creek, but asked if I could bring the car for you two to get back to the packhouse. She also asked me to grab the binder about her family history for her, because she forgot it," Byron explained rapidly."Oh, alright," I said. I wish she would have told me, but there was nothing wrong with that."No, you don't understand, Nikko!" Byron still sounded frantic, which got me worked up again. "I was still busy getting those two rogue bodies tak
Becoming a Luna Chapter 44: Behind Enemy Lines
*Jo's POV*I groaned as I started to come to, blinking my eyes a bunch to take in the bright white room. My head pounded as I sat up, so I tried to move more slowly. I was sitting in an average sized room, with just a bed frame, a mattress, a small table, and a single chair.There wasn't a single window in the room, so I had no way of telling what time it was.The entire room was white though. White tile, white walls, white sheets, white table. The only thing that wasn't white was the metal door that was on the opposite wall of the bed. My head throbbed again. Man what was in that rag?Suddenly the events before came flooding back to me. I stood up quickly, earning myself another throb through my head, and walked to the door. I turned the handle, but it was locked. Worth a try at least.I stood there in silence, wondering what I should do. Silence…Cressa!I tried to talk to her, but my head throbbed worse than ever, making my vision spot, so I stopped. Whatever that Frilla b*tc
Becoming a Luna Chapter 43: Cool Down
*Jo's POV*I jumped off the bed as I felt like I was about to lose control. I took a deep breath as I stood there and felt the urge to shift diminish slightly, but my body was still radiating energy. Nikko snored in the background, so exhausted from the day's activities that he hadn't noticed me move."Maybe it would help if we worked some of it out," Cressa suggested, feeling just as antsy."Anything's worth a shot."I walked into the closet and found a loose summer dress to throw on. The dress would be perfect for if I chose to shift. Easy to take off and put on. And my skin was on fire, so I wasn't worried about getting cold. Not even bothering to put on shoes, either, I walked out of the cabin.The fresh air helped take the edge off, but it was still there. After a seconds deliberation, I turned and walked down the trail that would lead me to the creek. The cold water would help clear my head as well.I took off at a brisk pace. Cressa wanted me to shift, but I wasn't sure if
Becoming a Luna Chapter 42: Complete Mates
*Jo's POV*Nikko began to crawl up the bed to me on his hands and knees. He stopped, grabbed my ankles and spread them wide. Then he crawled up in between the legs and sat up, placing his member at my entrance. I stared at him, tingling all over, even without his hands on me."I need you," he said huskily. "I need to be inside you."I gave a small nod, and he thrust himself into me hard. A scream of pleasure erupted out of my mouth as I clenched the sheets in my hands and arched into him. He pulled out and thrust back in, just as hard and I gasped.Nikko had never been this rough with me. He had always been in control. But he kept thrusting into me harder and harder as he sat there and looked down at me. G*d it felt good.Then he ripped himself out, and I felt empty. He grabbed my ankles and twisted them, causing me to roll onto my stomach. I used my hands to roll my shoulders over as Nikko gripped my hip hard and pulled them up.I looked back over my shoulder at him just in time
