Lucy looked taken aback for a moment. “Demi… I’m su-”“Luna.” Heath corrected her.Lucy looked at Heath. There was a fire in her eyes that was hard to miss. “Yes, Luna. I’ll be happy to assist you as you learn the role. It is quite a bit of information…” “Lucy, ride in the front. I am going to be driving my luna to our pack house as I would like a few more minutes alone with her before we get there.” Lucy opened her mouth to speak, but closed it. After nodding, she just walked to the front car and got into the passenger seat. “I have never liked her.” Heath whispered to me as he walked to the back vehicle. Luca opened the passenger door for me to get in. I couldn’t help but smirk at Heath. Getting in, Luca went around and got in the driver’s seat. Starting the engine, we followed the first car down the narrow, winding path. Luca reached over and grabbed my hand. I knew he realized I took my ring off as the anger filled him. “Please put it back on.” “Give me a good reason.” Lookin
Two people who looked to be in their fourty or fiftys were standing in front of the massive wooden front doors. I assume by the look of the male, that was Luca’s father. They were looking at me with so much curiosity that I was a little surprised. “Do they know about me?” I asked Luca in the mind-link. “Yes.” “Wonderful.” I said back before cutting the mind-link hard. “Dad, meet my mate, Demi Rose. Demi, this is my father, Alpha Hunter and his mate, Luna June.” Alpha Hunter held out his hand for me. “Pleasure to meet you.” I was very much aware that Lucy was standing off to the side. Accepting his hand, I even bowed to him. Technically, I was an alpha too and wasn’t required, but it felt right. “It is a pleasure to meet you both. You have a beautiful home.” “Thank you, dear.” Luna June stepped forward and held out her arms for a hug. “Oh.” I was a little surprised when she pulled me in, but I accepted it regardless. “You made it just in time for supper. I hope you like lasgna
Smirking, he finally let me go. “I rather eat a dead rabbit.” Whipping my mouth, I turned to leave. “However, I will eat whatever is put in front of me with a smile on my face.” “She can make something else.” Luca was walking behind me, but I had a feeling his eyes were on my ass the whole time. “No. It’s really okay.” “Do you need a shot before we leave?” Luca grabbed my hand to stop me from walking. Taking a deep breath, it didn’t sound like a bad idea. “Sure.” Luca nodded and dropped my hand. Pulling down two glasses, he filled them up. Handing me one, he watched me shoot it back. I could feel how impressed he was as he took the glass and refilled it. “We can take these downstairs.” “Yes, sir.” I muttered. Setting down the burbon bottle, he walked past me and opened the bedroom door. I was glad to have this glass in my hand as we walked down the stairs. Sometimes I feel stupid and unsure of what to do with my hands. Holding a glass at least allows me an option. People were
“Most are true.” I nodded as I looked into the forest. “What?” Luna stopped walking and looked at me. Looking around, I didn’t see anyone, but I felt their presence. Being back in this forest has made my senses highten again. “Most of the time, the creatures will ignore you if you are hidden in a cave or tree. Since we are part wolves, they think we are animals and tend to leave us alone. However, if you are stupid and taunt them, they will come for you.” “You’ve seen them.” Luca concluded. Shrugging, I just turned and kept walking. I had a lot of respect for the forest and what lived in it. Luca caught up to me easily enough. “After all the experiences I’ve had, I still love the forest.” “This is our elementry school.” There was a clearing that opened up into a decent size school and playground. “Most people live in town. There is a middle and highschool there. This building also stands as an orphanage.” Luca hung back and watched me take a few steps forward. The trees were mas
“We can get one tomorrow.” Luca chimed in. “Here is your new business account and we will get you a phone tomorrow.” Right on cue, Luca’s phone rang. He barely glanced at it before he silenced it and tucked it away. “Who’s that?” I asked, a little annoyed. That felt secretive. Luca looked, and me and sighed. “Nora.” “Oh.” Looking down, I took another drink of the burbon. “She has been calling non-stop all evening.” Heath sighed. “Your office phone has like three messages on it.” Luca looked over and saw the red light. Pressing play, we listened to them all. “Please pick up! Don’t ignore me, Luca! I need to speak to Demi. I’m so sorry. I need to tell her that I’m sorry. I didn’t know at first. Chase and I found out only like a year ago. I loved her before I knew who she was. The only reason we found out was because we were on google one night and found her missing photo. Chase made the connection, and we brought it up to mom and dad. They commanded us to not tell her. They wanted
“Dreaming of me?” He slowly walked up to me. Even if I wanted to walk away, I couldn’t. Only a whimper escaped my lips. Luca’s hands rested on my hips as he knelt down in front of me. Inhaling deeply, his claws dug in. “Do you want me to touch you?” He asked. His voice was thick with arousal. When I didn’t say anything, his hands slowly pulled down my shorts. If there was a little hiding it before, there weren’t any now. He leaned in and blew air on my already swollen lips. My head fell back as I moaned. My legs shook even more than it built up. “That’s it. Cum for me.” As soon as the words were out of his mouth, my orgasm hit so hard that I could barely stand it. My legs gave out as it ran through me. Luca caught me and laid me on the floor. He spread my legs wide and watched my body compress on its self. As I came down, Luca had unbottomed my shirt, exposing my hard nipples. “I-” I tried to form a word, but I couldn’t. I wasn’t satisfied. “You came at just the thought of me. Ju
“Oh.” “Little jealous are we?” Luca smiled at me before he kept going on his beard. “Where is this spot?” “In a safe room in the basement.” Luca seemed unphased by this. “What do you want?” “I mean, I would like to go down there and punch her.” Luca shrugged. “So do it.” That threw me off. “Just like that?” I was trying to wrap my head around this. “Just like that. I might suggest you change.” Luca looked me up and down. “Though, I do love seeing you in my shirt.” Glaring at him, I stomped to my closet. The phone vibrated in my hands again.Lucy: I’m wearing that outfit you like.So, I replied. Luca: Be right down.Lucy: I’ll get myself ready ;) Rage burned in me as I ripped off his shirt. Finding a sports bra and leggings, I just grabbed my tennis shoes and put them on when Luca walked around the corner. “I take it we are going down there?” “Yes, sir. Apparently, she is getting ready for you.” Luca nodded and walked to his closet. By the time I came out, he was in tighter
“Come on, let’s go to the gym.” Luca walked off down the hallway. Looking back at the front doors, my feet slowly followed Luca down the hallway. He was waiting for me at enterence. “Where do you like to start?” “I usually jog a mile before I move on to any weights.” Luca nodded as he got onto one of the ten treadmills. Getting on one next to him, he immediatly started on a slow jog as he turned the T.V. on. “Do you prefer music or a show?” “Whatever is fine.” Actually, I prefered complete silence when I worked out. It was a place that I used to think about something. Lifting weights was almost theraputic. Many of my problems found solutions there. “It doesn’t matter to me.” Luca looked over at me. I had just begun my five minute warm up. “I’m going to be ignoring whatever you pick, so it really doesn’t matter.” Luca turned the T.V. off and set the remote down before speeding up. It wasn’t uncommon for me to work out next to people, but surely Luca didn’t think we were going to
“This is straight bourbon.” I had to cough a few times since I wasn’t prepared for that.Luca laughed and took it from me. “She did tell you it would keep you warm.” He took a long swig from it before he handed it back. “Let’s climb down and see if we see anything in there.” “Seriously?” I was shocked. Taking my own drink, I tightened the cap back on and set it down. “Let’s go!” Luca wrapped his arm around my waist, keeping me from running away. “Listen here.” He muttered. “You need to be safe and not go all Indiana Jones on me when we get in there.” “Indiana Jones? If I had a whip, I’d whip you for saying that.” “I know that.” Luca rolled his eyes. “I meant that if there is treasure, you need to be smart about this.” “Yeah, yeah. I heard you.” Luca let my waist go and walked beside me as we came up to the crane. I watched as Luca went up to the operator and spoke with him for a second. The crane operator nodded, and Luca stepped back. As Luca walked back to me, the crane moved
“I like it.” Amelia nodded and pointed her fork at me. “That’s the spirit.” “That’s the spirit?” Nora looked at Amelia like she grew three heads. “Don’t you think she should be laying low and seeing how things unfold?” Amelia rolled her eyes. “Yeah, that is what a weak alpha would do. She is a female alpha. The only one in this world today. If she doesn’t make a statement, then what? Plus, this isn’t about popularity. This is about getting even. Are you going to tell me that you would roll over if your family was killed?” She raised her eyebrow at Nora. “That is what makes her an alpha and you a luna.” Nora didn’t appreciate that comment. She sat up straight and looked at Jared. “What I think Nora is meaning is that she just wants Demi to be happy.” It was Veronica’s turn to look at Nora. “Demi won’t be happy until she finds out the truth. Just like everyone else here. If this would have happened to any of us, we would be doing the same thing. Laying down and being happy is for pe
She wasn’t wrong, but I didn’t have a response to that. Instead, we fell into an understood silence as they kept working. Jared ended up joining us. Nodding his head towards me, he stayed on the other side of the group. The entire morning was just me standing there as they removed piece by piece. The mist became heavier at one point and all that was left were Luca and myself. We were completely drenched, but I didn’t care. Luca didn’t complain once as the water dripped down his chin, landing on every single muscle showing through his shirt. If I wasn’t torn up, watching the place I grew up with being burned, I would have been turned on. “It’s still watching us.” Luca finally muttered as lunch time was approaching. “Probably will all day. This is new and a change to their environment.” “Demi? Luca?” Peggy walked up to us. Her hair was stuck to her face, telling me she hadn’t went in any shelter that was placed up. “You are soaked.” I commented before turning back to my home. She
“Aren’t you going to stop her?” Heather whispered as I shut the door on them. I didn’t hear what Luca had to say to her. “What are you doing?” He asked, slightly curious. “I saw movement. What if it’s that creature again? We should name him.” “Name him? He isn’t our pet, Demi.” Part of me wanted to slap him through the mind-link, but I wasn’t sure how. “Are we going to just call him the creature? There are a lot of creatures out here. No one even attacks at night. All the more reason to think it was them who took my pack down.” Luca didn’t respond right away. “Freddy.” “Freddy? Like Freddy Krueger?” I crept along any open path. It didn’t look like anything had been disturbed but something was in the trees behind it. “Just because he comes out at night?” “I mean… it fits. See anything?” Luca seemed rather calm. “Something is in the trees, but it isn’t coming out. It doesn’t want me here.” That sent warning bells to Luca. “Maybe come back now?” “I’m assuming Heather is freakin
“Good to know I have that much power over you.” Kissing him hard one last time, I pushed him back.“Maybe we can sneak away and have more fun in the woods?” Luca rolled his eyes, but walked out of the bathroom as he adjusted himself. “I’m learning more and more about your kinky desires.” “What are yours?” I asked as he slipped on his shoes. Luca smirked as he looked up. “We are installing a pole in our bedroom.” I felt the heat rise in my cheeks as my tongue pushed against it. “I guess I’ll need some outfits…” “Love, you can have whatever you want.” Luca stood up and walked towards the door. “Ready?” “Ready for business Luca and not playful Luca…. never.” Luca rolled his eyes, but I felt the humor in him. As I passed him, he squeezed my ass. “Just remember all the fun things I’ll do to you. Do you really want me to do that in front of someone?” He whispered behind me. Wanting to call his bluff, I turned and looked at me. “Maybe I do.” Crossing my hands, I knew my boobs pushed
“I know you are awake…” Luca’s finger gently moved my hair out of my face. I was lying on my back, twisted in the sheets. He had fucked me into the night and now I was so sore that it hurt to move my legs. I swear my legs kept twitched all night. “I’m not.” Groaning, Luca turned my head towards him. His laugher died in his throat as he kissed my cheek. “We need to get moving. I want to be out there before anyone else.” I felt Luca shift beside me and my pillow dipped under my head. “You want to go into the woods while it’s still dark?” “I want to see if anything is lurking around… yes.” That got my attention. “Weren’t we supposed to have a relaxing week and get to know each other? Now we are seeking out legends that we were warned against.”“We are getting to know each other. I know if I do this…” Luca flicked my nipple with his finger, causing me to flinch. “… you will get aroused.” “Great. You know my body. What about my mind? Do you know me when the lights are on, too?” Luca
His jaw clenched as he closed the gap between me. The glass dropped from my hands, landing hard on the carpet at the same moment Luca’s hand wrapped around my waist. The other threaded through my hair at the base of my head, he yanked my hair. I was forced to look deep into his eyes. My breath got stuck in my throat as I read his emotions in his eyes. The more time I spent with him, the more I realized this was his way of showing his emotions. He wasn’t someone that spoke them out loud. No, he showed me how he felt. Right now, we both had so much frustration and nervous energy from almost losing each other, this was more about connecting again. I was done looking into his eyes. Grabbing the back of his neck, I pulled him down to me. It was like a switch went off. That’s all it took for him to slam his lips against mine. My core was instantly throbbing with need. I needed him in me, and I needed it now. Luca pushed me backwards until my legs hit the bed. Breaking the kiss, Luca put
When no one responded, she continued. “This thing was wild. The eyes were too big for a human, but not quite like a wolf.” She shook her head. “I didn’t get the best look. When I opened my eyes, it’s face was inches from mine. It screamed at me, throwing spit all over my face. It’s claws started thrashing as I tried fighting it off. I’m not sure what caught it’s attention. One minute it sliced my stomach open and screamed, and then it ran from my room. The spit was hot…almost spicy. Everything in me told me to run. I took a shirt and tied it around my stomach. That’s all I remember. I don’t remember running or even leaving my room. Next thing I knew, I woke up in Jared’s pack. They told me what happened and kept me safe.” I looked over at Luca. His expression wasn’t readable, but his emotions were everywhere. Mostly anger, but there was some understanding. “Did Jared tell you that you were sleep talking?” “He said it was like I was reliving things.” Heather tried to think back. “I k
Lilith cleared her throat. “Either way, you have received enormous support after the press conference.” She reached around and pulled out a vanilla envelope. Holding it out to me, she smiled a genuine smile. “Those are people who have reached out to contact you or commented on the interview you got.” She waited untilI opened it and pulled out pages of comments or emails. One by one, Luca and I read through them. “I think people just want to extend their condolences. Some I think you might remember and others just want justice for you. Either way, I was thinking it might not be a bad idea to hold a greeting party for everyone that has volunteered to help you out. Some have personal items or pictures of your family they want to give back to you.” Great, more people… However, maybe we might run into that woman and man again. If they were daring, they might come and mingle. “That is a big task to get done so quickly.” “It’s no problem, really. I just wanted the green light from you.”
