"If we wait for the test results, it may offer a clue how to find her or maybe who took her," Doc was saying. I wasn't going to sit around waiting for test results. I sent out an alert through the mind link. "Your Luna has been taken! Everyone looks for her now!" I yelled hoping someone would have seen something. "I want to go to Sheila's," Arrow announced. She has a vendetta against Rina, I am going to start searching there," Arrow said before shifting. He tore off down the hall. He had a point, I shifted and headed toward the pack house. They must have used the same gas when they tried to take Rina from there. I shifted, we are much faster in wolf form. I reached the packhouse in record time. I tore open the door to find groggy wolves wandering around. They must be feeling the after-effects of the gas they inhaled. I ordered everyone to open all of the windows, hopefully, the last traces of gas would dissipate quickly. "Arion, what's happened?" my mother asked as the fresh air b
.Rina's Location...What was happening? I could barely open my eyes. "Come on Princess, the boss wants to see you."He dragged me up from the ground. I tried to pull away but I couldn't. "Why?" I whispered.He sneered, "You should have rejected them. They don't belong to you!" He continued dragging me on the hard ground. "Hello Rina, did you sleep well?" a mocking voice asked. The voice sounded so far away, yet it was also familiar. "Put her up there, I want to see her face when we attach the machine," the voice said. I was lifted onto a cold table. My body spasmed as the injuries on my back stretched. "Don't worry, when this is over, you will be mine," he reached out grabbing my breast. "All of you will be mine."I whimpered but my arms wouldn't move to push him away. "Oh, I know how hard it is to wait, maybe I can give you a taste of what I will do after this," he sneered. I wanted to cry but I couldn't. I felt the darkness taking over me. I struggled to stay awake, what were
The monitor continued to beep. I couldn't bare the thought of losing her. "Rina! Please don't leave us!" I screamed. "Please, Baby, we are here, hold on, please!" I begged.Arrow was on the ground next to me. "Don't you take her from us," he threatened. "Do you hear me Moon Goddess? Don't you take her!" I heard the sound of people yelling and things being moved around. I couldn't understand what they were yelling, everything was muffled. "Rina!" I screamed as the pain blurred my vision. As soon as it had started, the pain began to lessen. I tried to take a deep breath but my chest was too tight. I was looking at Arrow, he was still breathing heavy too. "She didn't die, she couldn't have. We would have felt the bond break, right?" he asked his eyes glassy with unshed tears. "I can still sense her, we wouldn't be able to if she died," at least I didn't think so. A few minutes passed, and we were able to pull ourselves off the floor. My legs were shaky as I tried to stand, I held ont
RINA…I could hear them! I could hear my mates! I hoped it was them. The darkness was soothing but their voices soothed me further. I wasn’t in pain when I was in the darkness. I don’t know what that machine was but it hurt a lot! The voice had said what it was for but I couldn’t remember. I didn’t want to think about it anymore. I wanted to stay in this peaceful place where things didn’t hurt. “Rina, come back to us baby,” I thought I heard my mom whisper. It couldn’t really be her, she isn’t here in this darkness. I saw a strange light, I wanted to follow it but it disappeared really fast. I wonder where it went. I could hear my Dad’s voice, “Rina, I know I haven’t been there all the time but please, don’t leave.”I was alone before in the darkness, why do I hear them now? I wanted to know why they took me. I wanted to know why they had hurt me. I need o know who did those things to me. I guess it doesn’t matter now, I don’t think anything matters in this peaceful serenity. “Momm
The next few days seemed like a blur. I did a lot of sleeping. I knew I was healing faster than I thought I would but I knew I had a long way to go. I wanted to be out of this hospital. The smell of the cleaners, the smell of sterilization, it was all making me crazy. Not to mention, I wanted to go home. "Rina, it is important you stay here as long as the doctor thinks you need to," my mother chirped. "I sighed, "I feel much better, I really would like to go home." I rubbed my hand over my belly, "do you two want to go home?" My belly swelled a bit as the twins grew. "Yes, Mommy, we want to go home too," came a tiny voice. "Shut up!" I chuckled at Arrow and Arion as they came in the door. "Look what we found," they said holding out a bouquet of carnations and roses. "They are beautiful," I took the bouquet from them. It smelled so good. "So, I was thinking," I started."You aren't ready yet," Arrow said narrowing his eyes at me. "You will be coming home soon enough," he smiled a
I got to leave the hospital a few days later. I expected to go to our temporary wing when I returned to the packhouse. Instead, I got to go home. Our home was fixed. I was so excited. The other wing was nice but the bed was much smaller. "How did you guys have time to get this done?" I asked. "We had the contractors working on it before the party, but we told them to hurry it up because we wanted you to be comfortable," Arion explained."I am so happy to be back here," I smiled."We have a surprise for you," Arrow chirped. He took my hand leading me down the hall. "Ok, Babe, close your eyes," he looked at Arrow who was grinning from ear to ear."Ok," I said. "You better not play any tricks on me, I don't think I am ready yet."No tricks, we promise," they said together. I covered my eyes. I heard a door open and they led me inside. "Ok, you can open them," they said sounding excited.I opened my eyes, I let out a gasp at the room. They had a nursery built for the twins, for our babi
I woke up to laughter, it was much better than waking up to the nightmares. I looked around but nobody was in the room. I stretched as I pulled myself off the couch. Walking down the hall, I could see light coming from under the office door. I stopped outside trying to listen."No, we need this for her," Arrow chuckled."We can get that, but we also need this," Arion chimed in. "Listen, boys, I have been married to your mother for a long time. I know what makes women happy, you have to get this too. If you don't take my advice, don't blame me when she bites your heads off," Alpha Jax chuckled."Fine but we are getting the rest of it too," Arrow said firmly."What is going on in there?" I wondered to myself. I heard footsteps coming toward the door. I quickly made my way back to the couch. I plopped down and pretended to be asleep. I could hear the sound of three sets of footsteps coming down the hall. They were keeping their voices down, probably because they thought I was still asle
After we ate, we went back to the packhouse. I was sitting on the couch thinking about Shila finding her mate. I had thought for sure she had something to do with my kidnapping. I needed to stop thinking about this. I tried making myself think of anything. My birthday was in two days, I would officially be eighteen. I thought about my plan of leaving the pack, I had been so sure I would be leaving here. Now, I couldn't fathom the idea of leaving. I am mated to the hell twins and carrying their pups, the Moon Goddess certainly has a sense of humor. "Hey, guys, let's go have dinner with the pack tonight, I am starting to get cabin fever," I wasn't lying. It was boring being in here all the time. My fear had been stopping me from leaving but going to the dinner today showed me I would be ok as long as I was careful. "Are you sure?" Arrow asked putting down the controller. "Yes, I can't keep hiding. I need to start being around others again," I could feel my fear rising but I shoved i
Today was the last day before the mating ceremony. I was excited but also nervous. I would be standing in front of the pack as we are announced as the new Alphas and their Luna. We would also be announcing the twins I am carrying. I looked at myself in the mirror. So much has changed in a short time. I went from being invisible to being mated to my hell twins. I wouldn't change being their mate but sometimes I have doubts about myself. Since the medallion confirmed I am the true Luna, I have tried to push the worries away. I never would have imagined that simple me, Rina, would be the true Luna, mated to the Alpha Twins. "Hey Rina, you ok in there?" Arion's voice broke through my thoughts. "Yeah, sorry, I will be out in a minute," I called back. I ran my fingers through my hair one more time before opening the door. Arion was still standing there, he leaned down gently kissing my forehead. "We were getting worried," he explained. I peered into our bedroom, Arrow was still sleepin
The next morning, I awoke to the smell of bacon cooking. My mouth watered as the scent filled my nose. I stretched as I yawned. I slid off the bed, and walking to the bathroom, I could hear the muffled voices of my mates. I made my way to the kitchen, the smell of bacon making my stomach growl. "Good morning," I greeted my mates. "Good morning Babe," they answered in unison. "We made breakfast," they both smiled. "It smells divine," I smiled back. Arrow placed a plate of bacon, eggs, and homefries before me. I picked up my fork and took a bite. It tasted every bit as good as it smelled. I couldn't help the moan that escaped me. "This is delicious," I said shoveling another fork full into my mouth. They both chuckled, "I'm glad," Arion said happily. They brought their plates over and plopped down on either side of me. A comfortable silence fell over us as we ate. When I had finished, I carried my plate to the sink. Turning on the water, I picked up the soap."Um, what do you think
The book in my hands held more information than I had ever seen in one place. The book foretold an enemy to werewolves unlike any we had faced before. Not only was it one of our own, but the truest packs would be the main targets. The medallions were forged long ago to help defeat the threat when the time came. As I looked at the words staring back at me from the pages, I couldn't help the feeling of worry growing heavier in my chest with each passing sentence. "Rina, you don't look like you are feeling very well," Arion's worried voice broke through my thoughts. "I think you need to take a break."I sighed, "I think you are right, I am going to put this back for now but we will have to come back soon," I said knowing I would hold the book again. Once we exited, I couldn't help but think about the things I had read. I had stopped before I read too much further into what would happen once the enemy was discovered. I knew we were facing a huge threat but I knew I had to protect my bab
The hot water helped to soothe my muscles. I wanted to relax and forget all the weird things that had happened that day. Why did the medallion react that way to me? Was I truly the true Luna of our pack? Why did I start glowing when I was upset from the nightmare I had? All these questions kept racing around inside my head. I sunk, letting myself sink below the water before popping back up again. I wiped the water from my eyes, and when I opened them, I was staring into two sets of identical eyes. "What are you doing in the tub, little mate?" Arion asked, his eyes darkening a bit. "We would have run a bath for you and joined you," Arrow replied in a husky voice. "I can run myself a bath," I retorted. " I wanted a bit of time to soak by myself," I said, giving them a sly smile. "Besides, my body is a bit sore. I leaned back and closed my eyes. I felt a hand reach in and tickle me, and I slapped it away eliciting a laugh from Arrow. "We will let you enjoy your time," he chuckled
"Babe, we have you," Arion tried again to soothe my sobs. "It was horrible," I cried. I lifted my head to look at my mates. "Rina?" Arrow said. "I am not trying to scare you, but you need to breathe, please, breathe with me," he began taking deep breaths and letting them out slowly. I tried to follow but my mind couldn't focus. I felt an unfamiliar feeling that began in the pit of my stomach before spreading throughout my body. "Rina, you have to listen to us right now," Arion tried, his voice thick with worry. I lifted my head to look at him. "Rina, please, you have to calm down," Arion begged. I looked at my hands, the strange glow that had been in my eyes when Sheila's mother had insulted me earlier had spread and was now engulfing my entire body. I looked into the worried eyes of my mates. I sucked in a deep breath before slowly releasing it. As I continued to breathe, the glow began dissipating. I concentrated on the feel of my mates holding me and before long, I was n
"My eyes are glowing?" I asked incredulously. I closed my eyes and opened them again. "Are they still glowing?" I asked looking at my mates. "It is fading," Arrow answered. "What the hell was that anyway?" he asked looking at his father."That my son was the medallion confirming Rina is the true Luna of our pack. The medallion will only react that way in the hands of the true Luna," he explained. "Will that happen every time she holds it?" Arion asked."I can't be sure," he replied. "I have only heard tales of its power." I sat quietly, there was a strange tingling sensation spreading throughout my body. I wasn't sure what to do, it did not hurt but it felt strange, to say the least."Let it happen, do not fight it," Mirage said in my mind. "The Moon Goddess is giving you the power to protect and help our pack. We always had the power and strength, she is blessing us with her strength, we are destined for this.""Mirage, why is she giving us more strength if we were always strong
We were back in our wing in no time. I sat on the couch sipping a hot cup of tea, it normally helped me calm down but my mind was still racing. I couldn't get the scent out of my mind. "Rina, are you ok?" Arrow asked looking concerned. "What? Oh yeah, I'm ok," I replied. I didn't want to bring up the familiarity of the scent. I tried to forget it but despite having both of my mates snuggled in with me, I couldn't get it out of my mind. "Have the warriors found anything?" I asked not sure if I wanted a yes or no answer. "They haven't found anything. It's like they are searching for a ghost," Arrow grumbled. I sighed, nothing seemed to be alright. I was tired of feeling scared and worried, I should be happy. I have my mates, we are having our pups, and we will be telling everyone our happy news soon. No matter how much I tried, I could not shake the creepy feeling. "I am going to go check on the progress," Arrow said as he untangled himself from me. "I don't want to leave Rina b
When I woke up, I could still smell the four she-wolves Matt had brought here, I wrinkled my nose at the scent of stale alcohol and way too much cheap perfume. I went to the sink, filling my glass with cold water, I felt eyes on my back. I looked over my shoulder to see Matt leaning on the kitchen island. "Good morning," I greeted him, I was still aggravated about last night but didn't want him to know that, yet. "Sorry about last night, I was too drunk to know what was happening," he explained. I didn't answer right away. I turned to face him, "I don't understand you," I said honestly. "You know your friends are with me, but you try to undermine our relationship and our bond every chance you get," I wanted him to explain himself."You're right," he sighed. "I wanted to go back to a time when things were simpler. Taking over as Alpha is a big deal," he looked down at his hands. I looked at him to find sincerity on his usually cocky face. "Becoming Alpha is a big deal, but you are t
I ate my breakfast as the twins and Matt caught up. It was interesting to hear about the adventures they had shared. They had done a lot more together than I had expected. “It sounds like you had a lot of fun when you were together all the time,” I commented. “Yeah, we were as thick as thieves,” Matt chuckled. “Hey, what happened with you two, and that shy little wolf you always talked about? Did you ever make a move before you found her?” he asked looking in my direction.“You could say that,” Arrow chucked. “Rina is the shy little wolf we always talked about,” Arion answered. “So that little wolf was your mate that whole time?” Matt chuckled.“Yup, she is one and the same,” Arrow smiled putting his arm over my shoulders. Matt looked surprised, “Man, I still can’t believe the famous lady killer twins are not only mated but having pups! There must be a lot of jealous females out there.” He chuckled as he took a bite.I smiled uneasily, I knew he was right. I never thought in a mill
