Luca POV“How is she?” Rook asked as I walked into our bedroom. I had just got Demi situated in the car, holding her for close to an hour while she had a meltdown. My shirt was soaked from her tears. “She’s sleeping right now.” Heath already had the boxes piled up and Lilith had folded any clothes we had and put them in a bag. She also packed a lunch for us so she could eat when she was ready. “I really didn’t mean to make her feel any sort of way.” Lilith started.I put my hands on my hips and looked at them. “What did you think she was going to say? If this was happening to any of you guys, how would you react? I’ve told you guys from the beginning that she was barely holding it together. Seeing what looked like the ghost of her father just sent her off the edge.” “I broke her.” Heather sighed. “No. This is what Luca is talking about.” Lilith looked at Heather. “We have tried to be sympathetic and baby her. All we have done and all this investigation has done is caused more que
Demi POVThe birds were chirping, waking me up from the coma I had forced myself into. After coming home, I went straight up to our bed and laid there. Only Luca was allowed to come into our room. He didn’t push me or even say much. We just laid in bed and watched movies until I fell asleep again. Now that it was morning, my stomach was yelling at me to eat something. “Oh, you are awake.” Luca walked in wearing only his shorts that hung dangerously low around his waist. Kicking off his shoes, he came over to stand next to the bed. His sweat was running down his perfectly toned body. “Barely.” My stomach chose that moment to scream loud enough that the entire packhouse probably heard it. My wide eyes met Luca’s amusement. “Yeah. It’s time you got out of this bed and got some fresh air.” Luca reached down and ripped the covers off my body.“My leg can’t handle it…” I tried to make an excuse.“Your leg is fine. I checked it myself this morning, and it is almost completely healed. “Re
The three of them held their hands to their hearts. “That is why we are here!”“Promise!” Amelia giggled.“Are you drunk already?” Peggy looked over at her. Luca closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “This was a bad idea.” The door ripped over, making him almost topple over. “What took you guys so long?” June was looking rather annoyed. Her hands were on her hips, glaring at Luca. “Big bad alpha has his panties in a twist.” Amelia’s head fell back as she collapsed in a fit of laughter. Peggy caught her and had to practically drag her into the room, looking apologetic. June just looked at her like she was stupid. “This is going to be a long day.” “Let me know if she is too much and I’ll send Reese in here.” Luca sighed before kissing my forehead. “You too. Let me know if you need me.” June grabbed my arm to pull me inside. “I NEED YOU!” I screamed as she slammed the door on Luca, smiling at me. “He didn’t think you would want to try on dresses in your room, so I was already se
“DAMN!” Veronica snapped her fingers three times. “Get it, girl!” “Sexy momma!” Amelia sang.As I climbed on top, I looked right at Callie. She looked like a deer in headlights. “What do you think, Luna Callie?” Kristen asked for me.“Not a luna ceremony dress.” She shook her head as the other girls looked at her like she was crazy. “WHAT?” Veronica leaned away from Callie. “You did not just say that!” “Well, what do you think?” Callie looked at me and asked. “Yeah, I think it’s too much for me.” “What do you like about it?” Kristen stood slightly in front of me but off to the side.“The straps are good. I’m not against an open back, but the front is a little too much.” “Alright. Next!” Callie sang as the other girls groaned. I couldn’t help but smile as Kristen helped me to the changing room again. “Honestly..” I whispered to her. “If there was a dress that wouldn’t require any bra or underwear, I would like that.” Kristen got a look on her face before she smiled at me. “Okay
“Yeah.” Heather sighed. “We need to do that, and then we will be right back.” “Don’t tell anyone where we are!” Veronica snapped as the three of them left. As soon as they were gone, Veronica pulled out what I was hoping to see. “Want one?” “Fuck yes.” Smiling, I lit mine and sat back to relax. “When did this become a normal thing?” “Since we keep having large events happen.” Amelia shrugged. “After your luna ceremony, there will beNora’s and mine. That is two more events we will be together.” “Did Amelia tell you what happened on their way over here?” Peggy barely got the words out before she doubled over laughing. Amelia looked like she was slapped in the face. “WE SAID WE WOULD NEVER TALK ABOUT IT!” “Now, I need to know.” Veronica smirked and sat forward. Taking a long puff of her cigar, she kept pushing.“Did you shit yourself?” “NO!” Amelia rolled her eyes. “It’s worse than that!” Peggy could barely contain herself. “Worse than shitting your pants?” I asked, now fully c
Lilith looked at me, nervous, before she plastered on a smile. “Demi?” “Honestly, do you not trust us to behave?” Putting my hands on my hips, I glared at him.Luca looked amused. “Your friend just split her head open and you are asking me if I trust you girls together?” Lilith and I shared a look. “I’m done!” Veronica came out with a smile on her face. As soon as she read the room, the smile faded a little. “What’s up?” “What happened that you got hurt?” Luca asked her.“Fell over backwards in my chair. Why?” “See!” I yelled, trying to change the subject. “If you would excuse us, we have some stuff to get back to.” The three of us turned to leave, but Luca wasn’t having it. “Wait just one moment…” It was as if we were moving in unison. Slowly, we turned to look at him. “Yes?” “You know I have eyes everywhere….” Luca narrowed his eyes at me. “You said it yourself…” I took a step forward and placed my hands on his chest. His expression didn’t change, but I could feel just how h
Luca pulled me along, shaking his head at his friend. “One day when he actually finds his mate….” “We will be happy for them…” I said with a sigh. “Now, Veronica might die….” I whispered as we walked into the dining room. People were walking around, socializing with the new warriors and guest we have. The packhouse is huge, so I assumed everyone had a room. As we walked up to the head table, Dylan and Callie were sitting down. They were on one side with four chairs down the table. It was only then that I realized no one else was sitting with us. “Sit me next to Callie.” I said in the mind-link before everyone sat down. Thankfully, Luca was already thinking the same thing and moved me to next to her. “THANK YOU!” Alpha Hunter boomed, getting everyone’s attention. As people found their seats and quieted down, he continued. “As you all know, we are here to celebrate Luca finding his mate. Her luna ceremony will be Saturday. Weather permitting, we have a full weeks worth of events. Pl
As I made my way back, Luca pulled out my chair for me and rubbed my back as I kept eating. He must have had the plate heated up as my meat was still steaming. Since everyone else was done, I had to eat quickly to not make them wait on me. “Oh, Demi.” Luna June looked around at Hunter and Luca. “I need your help with deciding on final decorations for the ceremony.” “Oh? I assumed you had done all that for me?” I didn’t mean for it to sound as forward as it did. However, I assumed I wouldn’t get a say in anything. Luna June looked taken aback. “Why would you say that?” “I thought we agreed to do the ceremony in a month. We came back and Luca told me you decided to do it now and had already arranged everything. I am thankful for all you are doing and have done for me. I just figured it was all taken care of for me.” Both Hunter and Luca looked down at their empty plates. Neither one knowing what to say. Luca June looked shocked but at the same time, apologetic. “I… we….” She looked
“I don’t know if I can.” I whispered. Luca clenched his jaw and nodded. “Then stay close to me.” His hand wrapped around the back of my neck as he leaned forward. His body pushed me against the bed, pinning me under him. The more he kissed me, the more my wolf relaxed under him. The way his claws gripped my thigh sent a wave of pleasure through my body. “We will be late if we don’t leave now…” I whispered as his attention moved down my throat. “So?” Luca’s voice was husky and full of desire. Just as his hands touched the tip of my pants, his body tensed. “We are being summoned.” I couldn’t help but feel amusement over how annoyed Luca was. As he moved to get off me, I put my hands on his shoulders and pushed him forward. Luca was caught off guard so badly that he completely fell to the floor with me on top of him. “Tell them I need ten more minutes.” Without waiting for him to respond, my hand undid his pants. “Fuck, woman…” Luca groaned. Releasing his dick, it popped out, stand
He was instantly pissed. “What the fuck are you doing in here?” “I-I wanted to come apologise to you.” She took a step forward, and he took one back. “You realize what this means?” He glared at her. “No!” She took a step back. “I just wanted to say I was sorry and that I know my place!” “You heard the direct order that no one was allowed to come into our bedroom without an invitation first. How did you even get in?” “It was unlocked…” I had to mentally hit myself for not locking the door. “Please. I just wanted to say I was sorry and to see if I could get back in the workings of the pack?” That burning in my stomach was showing its head again. Taking a step out of the closet, Lucy’s back was to me. “I don’t think that is an option.” Lucy jumped as she turned and looked at me. Even Luca looked shocked, but it was quickly masked. “L-Luna Demi.” “You have exactly three seconds to get the fuck out of my bedroom before I break your jaw this time.” “B-but…”“Two…” She looked at Lu
