Chapter 21 – DebaucheryI reached the east end of the park and scanned the area. Some of the floats were preparing for a parade at the park. I spotted acostume rack next to the float and parked the bike in between other scooters and motorcycles nearby.It was total chaos everywhere and people were rushing behindthe float to change into costumes. No one seemed to notice when I walked over to the rack and quickly selected a Grecian togalooking costume and head wreath. I went behind the float tochange and took off my jeans and burgundy shirt. Then I walked back to the motorcycle and stuffed my clothes in the saddle bag.These goons would be looking for a girl with a burgundy shirt on a motorcycle.I wasn’t sure how to get ahold of Dimitri, so I called the only other person I knew in Greece. I called Kosta, but he didn’tanswer. I considered taking a cab back, but I wasn’t sure exactly where the pack house was located or if I had enough money for a long cab ride. I was running out of
Chapter 22 – PunishmentI reach up and pulled the purple wig off my head allowing my long hair to cascade down my shoulders. He set his glass down and leaned back in the chair waiting for me. His eyessmoldering, and I couldn’t decide if I wanted to sit in his lap or lock myself in the bathroom.I moved towards him and stood between his legs. He set hisglass down and looked up at me taking me in. I was a hot mess. His hand moved up to my waist and I sat down in his lap.“You sure do have a gift for stumbling into trouble. Tell me, do you enjoy being disobedient?” He placed a kiss on my shoulder that sent a zing right down to my core. I shook my head no. His hands wrapped around my waist and in one swift movement, I was suddenly laying across his lap on my stomach.“You not only put all of us at risk tonight, but you put yourself in grave danger. Are you trying to madden me?”His firm hand caressed the back of my thigh and moved higher flipping the dress up to expose my ass. I heard a
Dimitri’s POVChapter 23 – BondsI couldn’t believe she had set foot in The Adonis, which was alive sex show theater that attracted lots of swingers. When I saw her on her hands and knees watching like a peeping Tom, I hadto hold Dom back who wanted to mount her on the spot. To dominate and claim her.She is just as much stubborn as she is beautiful. I had to keepreminding myself that she was much younger than me and would make a few foolish, impulsive decisions. I don’t know what Iwould have done if those bastards had gotten their hands on her.Dom could sense that she was a powerful wolf, but because of her young age, she may have not received much of the training she needed. We need to work on developing her elemental gift too. I could cause earthquakes, sink holes, landslides, bringtrees and buildings down with my gift. She should have been able to torch Eros from head to toe with very little effort.Judging from her phone call with her cousin, Raven was indeed daddy’s girl a
Chapter 24 – What?Alexander had stopped by with Odessa and my bags. I was in the bedroom digging through my bags for something to wear. Myhands found fresh underwear and a denim sundress. I changed my clothes, brushed my hair and teeth and went back out intothe living room to find Odessa. She was in the kitchen warming up kreatopita, a Greek meat pie, that Elaina had sent over."That smells delicious." I said."Elaina is the best cook in all of Greece." She smiled. "Does she share her recipes?" I asked."Nope. Though I imagine she will with you since you're the Luna.""You know?" The question seemed to slip out of my lips before I could even think about it."Of course I know, my wolf may be young, but she recognized you as Luna right away. Dimitri’s wolf can hardly containhimself.""How long have you had your wolf? I mean, how old are you?" She looked about the same age as me."I just turned eighteen a few weeks ago." She said.I knew it. "I turned eighteen three months ago just a
Chapter 25 – FamilyIt was just before sunrise when I felt the bed moving and stirred awake. Dimitri headed into the bathroom and I heard the shower turn on.“Girl, what are you doing? Follow his sexy ass in there! He might need someone to help soap up his back.” Rae barked at me.I rolled out of bed and pulled off the shirt I was sleeping in. The shower had started to steam up and I stepped right in withDimitri. He smile at me and I saw his eyes drop down at mychest making me blush. His lips met mine and the warm tingles pulsed through me. I moved my hands around the back of hisneck to pull him closer and deepen the kiss.“Goddess I want you.” He moaned lifting me up with one arm and I wrapped my legs around his waist.“I want you too.” I replied. I could feel my wolf panting for his as he kissed and licked up and down my neck. He stopped for a moment and let out a frustrated groan.“Alexander just linked me, Kosta’s man has left the airport with your brother and cousin. They sho
Dimitri’s POVChapter 26 – Sinking“Put the fish down Niko.” Raven whispered to Niko.We were crouched down on the stern of Poseidon’s Tridentfishing boat and Niko was being Niko. I hope his new mate will appreciate the sense of humor he has. The fishing boat belonged to a local fishing company that was owned by a friend of Niko’s.The barrel of fish up on deck would certainly hide our scents if the wind picked up. I just hope Niko doesn’t start playing with the barrel of squid next to my mate; she might consider setting his hair on fire.“What are you grinning at?” Raven asked me.“You, you’re so cute.” I told her and kissed her delicious lips. “Ugh I think I’m going to be sick.” Knox groaned.“Motion sickness?” Niko asked.“No, all this mushy kissing.” Knox laughed and we all tried tohold back our laughter. I liked Raven’s brother, he was open and willing to help his sister the moment she asked with nohesitation. I would the same for Odessa if she ever needed my help.The mari
Chapter 27 – ConferenceThe sinking yacht attracted lots of attention from surroundingwatercrafts and the water patrols raced passed us to the location.We returned to the marina on the research institutes boat with our warriors and Leo’s body. Kosta was waiting for us with a few men of his own, he directed us inside the research lab.“I’ve brought Dr. Homer with me, in case he was needed.” Kosta told Dimitri.“Thank you Kosta. I’m afraid we’ve lost Leo and need to make arrangements to transport him back to his pack. Dr. Homershould look over Rocky and Alec first, it appears they’ve been injected with wolfbane.” Dimitri instructed.“Of course, Knox, please take Rocky into the next room, so Dr. Homer can evaluate her.” Kosta said.Knox just clung tighter to Rocky, his eyes dark and growled, “MINE.”“It’s okay, I’m a mated wolf.” Dr. Homer told us and pulled his shirt collar down exposing his mate mark on the lower neck.“Knox, I’m sure you can go with her. Dr. Homer only wants to hel
Chapter 28 – IslandWe zipped across the Aegean Sea on the high speed boat. I was seated on Dimitri's lap with my head nuzzled in his neck. Mythoughts were swirling around with the stress of everything that transpired today his scent seemed to calm my wolf. Rae wasperfectly content in the arms of her mate. The only thing that could possibly make her happier was to finally be claimed.One of our warriors was driving the boat, the further we gotaway from Athens, the better I felt. We passed dozens of islands in all shapes and sizes. I peeked over at Clair and Niko, theywere seated in the same position as us. I thought about howlucky Clair was to have parents who were so easily accepting of her finding her mate. In this moment, I was very much envious of Clair having Aunt Payton and Uncle Max for parents.When Clair turned eighteen, nearly a year and a half ago, shewas heartbroken when she didn't find her mate. Of course, Knox had also been looking for his mate for two years. He to
Seven years laterEpilogue“MOM! Uncle Niko ate the rest of my moussaka!” Kyros pouted.“Uncle Niko has a habit of doing that. He doesn't like perfectly good moussaka to go to waste.” I laughed.“Are you going to finish yours or should I take care of that for you too?” Niko asked me.“Touch my plate and you might lose a few fingers.” I growled and shoveled the rest of the food in my mouth.Dimitri chuckled and kissed me on the side of my head. “Don't mess with a pregnant woman's food Niko, you shouldknow better by now after three pups of your own.”Kyros was our oldest, Damien followed two years later, they both looked just like Dimitri. Our twin daughters Alice and Anabeth, looked just like me with the strong LaRue familygenes. I was currently expecting pup number five in about two more weeks.“How's baby Lukas doing?” Clair asked me.“He's kicking a lot, hopefully he won't try to break out beforeLevi's mating ceremony this weekend.” I told her. We had found out the gender of the
Chapter 42 – News“Wake up little bird, the plane just landed.” Dimitri stroked my back to wake me up. I had fallen asleep in his lap on our flight from Greece to Canada.My father had sent the LaRue Enterprises jet for us. We have two mating ceremonies to attend this week. Knox and Rocky's ceremony is tomorrow. Then we will travel to Dark Moon for Peter and Mandi's ceremony. I was excited to show Dimitriwhere I had grown up, have some Chinese food in the village,show him Crescent Point. I’ve also missed my younger brothers and couldn’t wait to see them.It’s been two weeks since Dimitri and I found out about the pup.We haven't told anyone and wanted to do it when we were alltogether. My parents had returned back to Crescent Moon withKnox and Rocky last week to get ready for the mating ceremony. They would officially become Alpha and Luna of Crescent Moon after the ceremony.My parents plan to travel back and forth between packs; but willspend the majority of their time in Greec
Dimitri's POVChapter 41 – Finally“Relax, I just want to meet your little Raven.” He said with a sick smile.“He knows about mate.” Dom growled at me.“We need to make sure and end him this time.” I told Dom.He turned his head to the bird’s nest. “What a suitable place for a raven, in the bird’s nest! Tell me son, is the bird’s nest bullet proof? I can't seem to remember if we made it bullet proof when we built it.”I mind linked Spiro, “tell me you had the chance to line the bird’s nest with another layer of steel?”“I did Alpha, but they won't be shooting regular bullets. We've never tested it against silver bullets!” Spiro linked back.“You have ten seconds to surrender the pack to its rightful Alpha before we turn the bird’s nest into Swiss cheese!” My fatherdemanded.I was about to unleash Dom and lunge at him when an earthshaking growl, with intense power, ripped across the land andshocked everyone. Greeks were taught from a young age to fear and respect the power of the Go
Chapter 40 – Attack“Be a good little bird and stay in the nest. Don't come out for any reason, understand?” Dimitri told me.“Okay.”“Keep the door locked from the inside. Don't open it for anyone. If you set one foot out this door, before I come back for you, I'm going to spank your bottom red!” He crashed his lips into mine.His kiss was hungry, demanding, and filled with emotion. The promise of another spanking sent an exciting quiver down my back. I couldn’t wait until this was over to spend time tangled up with him.“Please be careful.” I whispered as we broke away.“I'll be back as soon as this is over.” He said and closed the door to the nest.I was standing inside of a closet sized metal box, that wasperched on top of the roof of the pack house and looked out over the pack lands. The fire pits were burning bright, if someonedidn't know any better, they would just assume the fire pits were there to light up the grounds for battle.“Let's test the reach of our element.” Rae s
Chapter 39 – RaceThe sun was setting as we raced back in the Jeep to our territory.Dimitri was at the wheel and his eyes kept glancing in themirror at the occupants in the back seat. Odessa was seated in the back, between Alec and Hades. The tension in the car was thick.“What the hell happened Odessa? I thought Georgios was your mate?” Dimitri asked and a low growl came from Hades at the mention of Georgios.“It's kind of a long story.” She replied.“We've got time. No one is leaving this car for a few hours.” Dimitri said.Hades spoke first, “My mother was originally from Georgios’ pack, Zeus's Howlers. When my father claimed her as a chosen mate, she switched packs and joined Moon Warriors. He wasn't very good to us and took little interest in me. Growing up, Ispent a great deal of time visiting with my grandparents at theirpack. Georgios’ father had the pack then, he was good to me, let me come and stay whenever I wanted to. My grandparents were wonderful people and I enjoyed
Chapter 37 – Progress“I'm Lucy Michaels LaRue, Luna of Crescent Moon Pack. As a golden wolf of the Gods, I now claim Zeus's Howlers as myown. We are not enemies with Alpha Dimitri Theodorus. Our daughter Raven LaRue, is his mate and the new Luna ofOlympus Blood Moon. We believe this will be a strong alliance for both packs and Zeus's Howlers will grow stronger andflourish.” My mother said.Applause and joyous howls erupted from the crowd. My mother stood in the middle of the field wearing nothing but my father’s shirt after she shifted back. Dimitri and I stood with my father as my mother addressed her new pack.“Beta Onassis, please step forward.” She called out. The crowd became silent and some exchanged nervous looks. “Some of you may have already heard, our oldest son and heir of CrescentMoon, Knox LaRue, is the mate of the Beta's daughter. This will now connect the packs in more ways than one. We are honoredto have Raquel Onassis, from Zeus's Howlers as the future Lunaof t
Dimitri's POVChapter 36 – Claiming“He's going to be okay, won't he Dr. Vovos?” Niko asked.“I've known Kosta since he was a pup, your Uncle is one of the strongest wolves I've ever met.” Dr. Vovos assured us.The pack clinic was a mile down the road from the pack house. It was morning, we had to wait until Dr. Vovos had stabilized Kosta before we could see him.He was connected to machines and tubes, he looked pretty bad.“How long until he wakes up?” I asked, I really needed to talk to him. Find out who did this. He was badly beaten and shotwith a silver bullet. The silver should have killed him, it's a miracle that he even survived.“He's stable for now, but he's not out of the woods yet. It could be a few days or a few weeks. We don't even know the status of his wolf yet.” She said.Shit! We don't have that kind of time to sit around and wait. Ineeded to get going, Georgios’ pack was five hours northeast ofhere. I mind linked Alec and Spiro to meet me in my office in twenty
Chapter 35 – Patient“If he's done something to my sister, I can't just lay around and do nothing. I need to find her. I’m going to kill him myself.”Dimitri growled trying to stand up.“She's our sister now too. You won't be helpful to anyone if you don't allow that to heal.” Knox replied.“Dimitri please.” I tried to calm my mate down. “She's his mate, he won't hurt her.”“Unless one of them rejects the other, then he will.” Dimitri said.“He wouldn't be that stupid, he knows she's your sister and doesn't want to make an enemy of you.” I told him.“Maybe, but Odessa might reject him first, she's obviously not happy about this.” He said.“My parents are with Georgios; they know something isn't right.We’ll find her, we just need you to heal. Dr. Vovos should be here to check your wound and change the bandage one moretime for the night. You can speak to her about your progress.” I said.“I need to get to Georgios, if Odessa is still in his territory, I can find her.” Dimitri said.“W
Dimitri's POVChapter 34 – Blast“Kosta should be landing with the helicopter in about tenminutes.” I informed Diesel and Lucy. We stood at the northern peak of the island waiting for Kosta. Lucy was insistent aboutreturning to Alpha Georgios pack right away.“I'll see if I can speak with Odessa alone first. I'll call Knox when I've spoken to her, so he can update you. We'll letGeorgios believe that Knox has returned to Crescent Moon with Rocky, and that we've remained in Greece because Alpha LaRue isn't convinced that Raven wants to be with you. That he'sconsidering taking your head for stealing our only daughter and forcing her to mate with you.” Lucy told me.“Mother!” Raven protested at the idea of forced mating.“We'll see if Georgios will lead us to Stefanos or if he letsanything slip. If we hit a dead end, I'll light Georgios up and send him straight to hell.” Lucy said.“I can position my warriors just outside his pack territory tolead an attack and help if things get st
