Miranda POV
After finishing an early supper, I went to my room. I needed some time alone away from everyone to process what the Moon Goddess had done. Giving me a wolf for a mate was rarely heard of. How could this even work? I had no idea. I was here to figure out who was trying to hurt Lily. I had picked up on a couple subtle things while out for our walk. I would share that information with them all early tomorrow morning. Rick had told me about the surprise ceremony for Lily in a couple days so we had to do things early tomorrow as Lily had some visitors who would be joining her later in the morning and then later again Kate would be here.
I was looking forward to seeing Kate again. It was hard to believe it had been only a couple years since we last saw each other yet so much had happened
Thank you for continuing to support Beta to Luna. Kate, Colby and the Thompson family will be joining us for a couple days. I can't wait to see what fun Kate, Lily and Miranda have while they are all together. I love to read your comments or reviews so feel free to leave them. I will continue posting over the holidays. New chapter tomorrow. Ellie xo
Miranda POV After an amazing night and slow start to our morning, Rick and I have joined Lily and Jared in the meeting room along with Alex. It was time to give them my preliminary thoughts on what I had learned so far. As everyone took their seats I started. “So, the first thing I realize is many people love Lily already in the Pack,” I say. Seeing Jared look at Lily pleased, he turns back to me. “There are a handful who are indifferent and some who had a connection to the other woman who was going to be Luna before Lily,” I say. Nodding Jared acknowledges a few of the wolves who had got along with Anya but not many. Those indifferent could always be indifferent but he’d keep an eye on them as well. He wouldn’t have anyone upsetting or harming Lily.&nb
Lily POV I was bursting with excitement as I watched the cars roll up. My brother is Alpha to the Golden Moon Pack, along with Kate who shares the title with him. For this reason, he always travels with warriors for protection. The Golden Moon Pack is among the second largest Packs in our region. I can see my mom waving to me from the car and as soon as the car stops, she jumps out of the car running up the stairs. She takes me in her arms, “Oh my baby girl, I have missed you,” she murmurs with tears in her eyes. “I’ve missed you too, mom,” I reply hugging her tightly. “How are you feeling?” she asks through her tears. “Mom, we can discuss all that in a bit,” I say as I see my dad impatiently waiting to give me a hug.
Lily POV Walking into our room, I look around feeling like something was disturbed. There is a faint scent I don’t recognize lingering, but I realize it could have been one of the staff. I still didn’t know everyone well enough as yet. Trying to pinpoint the difference I shrug my shoulders and scoot into the bathroom to brush my teeth, put some fresh lip gloss on and get ready for lunch. Deciding I wanted to change into one of my dresses I go to my walk-in closet. I walk in and get the dress I was looking for and turn to undress when I see my gown for tomorrow night’s Luna ceremony shredded. Without thinking I scream, scream at the loss of the beautiful dress but more significantly at the fact that someone had m
Kate POV Seeing Lily in much better shape than I had seen her when she was still in the hospital was by far the best. I knew she was still experiencing headaches, but they were seemingly getting better. And she was still trying to piece things together about the attack on her. Standing there with tears in my eyes, we kept hugging each other. Even though I had seen her in the hospital after the attack, she wasn’t herself. Now I felt like I was seeing my Lily. “How are you feeling?” I ask stepping back and wiping the tears from my eyes as she wipes the tears from her eyes. “I am doing better,” she says but I can tell something is wrong. “What?” I ask. Jared steps forward taking Lily into his arms, “Lily needs to go get a new dress for tomorrow night,&
Lily POV Last night’s meal went perfectly. Everyone was together, telling stories of when Reid, Kate, and I were younger. Jared loved learning about my childhood from my family’s perspective. Needless to say, I was demanding as a child, and everyone teased that it had carried on throughout my life growing up and today. I smiled recognizing they were probably right. Jared had decided he would sleep elsewhere last night, so he didn’t see me this morning. Although we weren’t getting married some traditions carried over into our world. Not seeing each other before the Luna ceremony was one of my favoured traditions. It was a surprise when the Alpha finally did get to see his Luna. In this case Jared would indeed be surprised as the dress he had picked out had been destro
Lily POV Looking around the room at everyone, I shake my head. “Am I the only one not getting anything in this crowd?” I demand as I look at each woman shamefully. “It would appear so, dear,” my mom offers. “Mom! Not you as well!” I yell. “Dear, we are wolves after all and your father is a sexy man,” my mom starts when I cut her off. “Eww no way, just stop; that’s a visual I cannot erase,” I say.What was supposed to be quick showers turned into quickies all around. As each woman turned red in the face and then burst out laughing, I couldn’t help but join them. Truth was I was jealous that I hadn’t seen Jared at all so far today. I didn’t know if I could wait until tonight to see him. I missed being near him. We had grown so close over the past weeks, that it wa
Jared POV Complete chaos. The gunshot rang out across the foyer of the Pack house. We heard screams from the event hall. Screams from around us. The sounds piercing our skulls as wolves had sensitive hearing, we heard things louder than most. Looking around I see Kate and Colby disengaging Lily from the Alpha. I see Miranda on her knees with blood pouring out of both nostrils. Colby yelled for Alex to help him with the Alpha. Alex had silver cuffs on him and ran to help cuff the Alpha with Colby. Kate had Lily in her arms but immediately switched into a medical doctor. Something was wrong with Lily, but I couldn’t see what. As I started to run toward Lily, Miranda fell to the floor. She had blo
Jared POV We spent most of the night waiting for news on either Lily or Miranda. Alex and Colby came over to update us on the actions of the Alpha. He won’t release his name or purpose until he sees me. Well, he wouldn’t see me until I knew Lily was out of the woods. As we sat there all lost in our own thoughts Dr. Kent came around the corner looking for me. I stood immediately as did the others, but Kent asked me to join him privately. My heart sank. Did this mean we had lost Lily? I hadn’t felt it in our link but perhaps I wouldn’t yet where I hadn’t marked her. I was having a hard time breathing as Kent pulled me into his office. “Just tell me for fuck sake, Kent,” I said to him harshly. I couldn’t wait any longer an
