AliceI knew about Doppler monitors, which are used to hear the fetal heartbeat. The idea both thrilled and terrified me."Just lie back," Dr Armand said, lifting my gown to reveal my bare belly. He squirted some liquid on my skin. "Just a bit of gel. It'll help pick up the sound."A crackling sound like an old transistor radio broke out in the room. Lucian looked at me, bewildered."We'll hear the baby's heartbeat?" I asked.The doctor nodded, moving the instrument over my stomach."The heart forms and starts beating from a very early stage."More static came from the small speaker the doctor held in his hand. A rapid, watery sound rang out, like waves at the beach on fast-forward.Whoosh whoosh whoosh.A smile spread across Dr Armand's face. "There's your baby."I held my breath. Whoosh whoosh whoosh.Lucian's face was like a mask. I had never seen him so shocked and happy, both at the same time. The miracle of the moment began to sink in. We had created a life. The baby we had creat
AliceAs I walked towards the circle to join the pack, our guests, and friends. I couldn't help admiring the decor, the fairy lights and the most tempting smell of roasted meat. Katherine had outdone herself. The entire circle had been decorated with twinkle lights and colourful roses. There was soft music being played by a live band. It sounded old and enchanting. The guests were all smiling and joking. Lucian joined me soon, and I found myself in his arms. He smiled at me intensely, then kissed me. His tongue ran over my lips and I opened her mouth to let him taste her. My hands danced his shirt buttons, I wished I were back in our room."I wish the same, dear," he said, giving a sly smile."Maybe later," I winked at him."Mate!" A shout broke the magic, and we looked at the commotion.Eliza was clinging to Max, who looked dazed."I found my mate, hi, I am Eliza and I like you." She flushed while talking to Max."You like me? But you are so beautiful, you are way out of my league."
Six years later -Alice**********************Emma and I were sitting outside in the garden watching our little ones tussle. We often visited each other."How you keep up with the three of them, I'll never know. I'm having a hard enough time with Arya." She said."It's difficult sometimes, but it's also fun," I said looking at my 6-year-old Aiden and 2 -year-old twins. Rose and Leo. It was a pleasant surprise when I discovered I was carrying twins, few years after we had Aiden.The kids looked up at us and yelped, they were cute little pups. Both Aiden and Rose had inherited Lucian's green eyes and dark hair. Leo was more like me with his hazel eyes and brown hair. Arya had caught Aiden by the ear while Rose and Leo tussled in the mud."Aiden, sweetie, Mama's not going to come to your rescue every time the girls pick on you." I laughed."I can't believe he lets her get away with that. He outweighs her by quite a bit." Emma said."He is a little gentleman, he just plays along" I smiled
This is the sequel to the book.'His reluctant Luna'It's better to read the first part to understand the back story. However, it can still be read as a stand-alone book. I am still in the process of developing the plot and the characters. The updates might be slow, please bear with me.This book is for 18+ with several triggers of violence and sex. So, those below 18 and sensitive to these things please stay away.For those who have not read the first part here is the plot.Alice is the Alpha's daughter of Jade moon pack. When she was 9 her father was killed in the werewolf war. Her mother died of the grief of losing her mate. Her brother Rick who was 17 took over the pack as an Alpha.Due to her trauma and Rick being too young to protect her and manage the pack, she was sent away with her eccentric aunt who is a keeper. A human who can see supernatural beings and they are aware of the werewolves. Alice lived in different parts of the
Alice - Being a Luna was never part of my plan but it was my destiny and now I was loving it. I am Alice Anderson a hybrid wolf with a werewolf father and a mother who was a witch. That makes me special. Not always in a good way. After going through several trials and tribulations I was finally at ease with Lucian. I am Luna of the Crimson Shadow pack and Lucian Blake is my mate.Generally, life was good. I loved living in the pack and there weren't any more death threats.“Please put the couch here,” I instructed the betas and omegas who were hauling the furniture into our newly renovated home.I designed the interiors myself. It had been a tedious and tiring process especially when Lucian was barely interested. He had given me the free rein to do whatever I wanted, with the house. It was a good thing, but I was expecting him to be a bit more excited about the whole project. He had been busy, handling the pack and business issues, leaving me to my house reconstruction activity.“Tha
The weather was fine, although the sky was cloudy. The worst of winter had passed, and the wonderful spring was arriving. Birds from the south had returned and sang their beautiful symphony. The wicked snow was gone, replaced by a vast carpet of grass. Flowers of many kinds had blossomed and filled the air with their fragrance. This was the best time of the year to have a housewarming. It was an intimate party with Rick and Lenora's family. We had also invited Emma, Damon, the pack Betas and some close friends. Aunt Flora was away on one of her impromptu trips. We already had a pack run and the barbecue party with the whole pack the previous evening. Kids played in the garden while I relaxed with Emma and other ladies on the patio overlooking the river. I gazed at Emma and other girls fussing over their babies and older kids. Even Katherine had Namara to look after. I knew what I had to do. Have Lucian's babies. I picked up my piña colada and smiled absentmindedly. "Are you even lis
One good thing which had ensued during those troublesome days, when Regina threatened us, was the regular training. Lucian made me get up early every morning to train with him and his betas in the gym. That habit had remained. Compulsory training was part of the pack rule now, irrespective of gender. Whenever I trained with Lucian, I would usually limp out of the gym, sore from all the times that I got pinned down by him. Me being his mate did not prevent me from getting as rigorous training as the rest of the pack. Wolves, respect strength and are instinctively inclined to submit to someone stronger than themselves. Hence, Alphas need to maintain their strength. Lucian was such an exacting taskmaster, he sparred with me himself. And he never held his punches. I loved the challenge and enjoyed it. The sex between Lucian and me was hotter after our training sessions. We would shower together and squeeze in a wild and satisfying romp in the shower after each training session. We wo
Alice - After meeting Rossi girls and convincing them to join the training, I returned with Katherine. Lucian and I needed to talk. If Gregory's brother had escaped, he could be a potential threat. "You seem upset," Katherine said while I drove back to the packhouse. "I am feeling bad about the humiliation and fear those girls went through. I haven't tried reaching out to the new pack members. Things were so busy in the last year that they slipped off my mind. I feel like a failure." I lamented. "Don't say that, Alice. You have been the perfect, Luna. There has always been, and will always be such packs. When the Alphas turn out to be crazy, the pack suffers. My parents belonged to such a pack. " "I thought you always lived here!" I exclaimed, turning to face Katherine. "I was born here, but my parents were from the now decimated Blue-star pack. Their Alpha was weird. They had many rules around ranking. Mating with humans was forbidden. If any higher-ranking female had a lower r

Alice *************'Alice, I love you, babe. Now listen carefully. When I say run, just run !' Lucian spoke in my mind.'But Max...''We'll save him too, don't worry. They don't know we are here as the wind is in another direction, but they will soon know. So just do as I say, babe, please.''I will dear.' I replied.Jordan gave me a suspicious look, I ignored him and kept my head down. I wasn't certain if I could shift, pregnant wolves can't. But my wolf assured me that she could take over anytime.'Run' Lucian said in my mind. My wolf took over. Breaking the restraints, I ran into the forest. The sound of gunshots rang through the forest. I looked up to see Lucian's choppers hovering over the trees. They were shooting at Stuart and his men. I stopped running, Max could get caught in the crossfire. I returned towards the group I had just escaped.**********************Lucian -I felt Alice's pain run through me, the rest of the pack felt the same. I immediately turned and started
Olivia -I woke up screaming from the nightmare I just had."Olivia! Are you alright?" Zaiden was holding my shaking body."I saw her...... I saw Madam Luna, she was in a cave, not a lab. Take me to the Alpha, please." I pleaded. The vision was so vivid. It was almost like I was there."Sure, get dressed." He threw me a pair of a tracksuit.It was late night or early morning. Whatever one might refer to 3 am when we reached the Alpha's office. The hustle and bustle of betas and the trackers ascertained the fact that nobody had slept for hours. Alpha was trying everything possible to trace Alice. The row of SUVs in the driveway ensured that they were either going or returning from a raid."I must talk to the Alpha now! " I pleaded to the guard standing at the door."Alpha is busy in a meeting, you can't see him now." He replied gruffly."I must see him, I had a vision. I saw Madam Luna."Before the guard could react. The door burst open."You had a vision of Alice? What did you see?" A
I tried to keep my eyes open, as Stuart droned on and on about his scientific advancements. I had lost track of what he had been rambling long back, but just nodded and smiled at certain intervals to look interested.'Come on, Lucian,' I said into the void."So, these human women failed to get pregnant, it's not because my experiment failed. They were just weak. Weak and useless. Even my army of men was not the breakthrough I had been hoping for. So, I started seeking alternatives. The best approach was to go natural. Create my hybrid children. " He crossed his legs and folded his hands, placing his chin on his knuckles."So, that's why you attacked the mated Alpha females?""Yeah, lost quite a few of my men. I don't care about them, though. They were lab rats.....totally disposable." He shrugged."And I am your next big experiment?" I was feeling squeamish."You are special, Alice." I winced, my name rolling off his tongue made me sick."I am sorry, I need to use the bathroom." I su
Lucian 'This is crazy! I should have never listened to her.' I chided myself, but it was of no use. She was gone. "Alpha, we lost the chopper," Damon said somberly. I could feel my nails digging into my palms, I was gripping my hands so tightly. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "Do whatever you can. Follow all the clues and find her." I managed to mutter. "Alpha, we have a request." I raised my head to find Kyle and the guards bowing their heads in submission. My wolf growled. He wanted to rip their heads off, for failing to protect my mate. "What is it?" I asked impatiently. "We....we....don't deserve to live. Please forfeit our lives." Kyle fumbled.I wanted to do that, but these were some of the best betas and warriors. Killing them now would achieve nothing."I don't have time for dramatics. Get out!""Alpha..." They whimpered."GET OUT! " I yelled, that sent them running out of my office.My wolf went into a rage and destroyed the table in seconds. I then went
Olivia I was heading for the trees before I realized what was happening. 'No, turn back,' I thought to myself, and then realized I wasn't in charge. The wolf was in charge.My wolf was showing herself. I could feel her stretching out as I ran. Trees sped by me in a blur, and I sucked in a lung-full of fresh air. I felt powerful.The rational human part of me still panicked and tried to get through to the wolf. I ran for miles, trying to check out my territory.I looked down at my feet, and they were still human, with a small spattering of white wolf fur. I had claws on my hands, but they still looked mostly human. It struck me that I was partially shifted into the hybrid wolf woman. And it felt great. I couldn't wait to turn fully.'Olivia,' Zaiden's voice boomed in my head. My mate was close on my heels, and suddenly, I was overwhelmed by an intense desire. He was supposed to claim me. Why was he late?Without further delay, my face started to change, and a snout started to grow. It
Alice -"How long is she going to be out?" Zaiden asked anxiously.We had all settled down to eat when he had appeared carrying Olivia. She seemed to be sleeping blissfully, a contented smile adorned her face."She is changing. She will wake up in a few days. How long did rain sleep when you had turned her ?" I asked Damon."A week," he sighed. "Though later I came to know she had woken up hours ago, but she was just enjoying the attention, hence pretended to be asleep."I stifled a laugh while Rain gave him a look."What was I supposed to do, you bit me so hard !" She retorted.I shook my head at their banter."She will wake up in about 24 hours. Might be quicker, as she is genetically tampered already." Lucian said while checking on Olivia."Too bad she'll miss the celebrations," Rain said sympathetically."Is she ok? Did I bite too hard? She will wake up, right?" Zaiden asked anxiously."Don't worry, you did well. You can return to the packhouse if you wish. Keep her comfortable. I
