Luna Ceremony part 2 up next as well as the proposal. LIke/Comment/ Vote!!
BRYNN My breath had caught in my throat as my parents walked me into the auditorium towards my mate. He looked sinfully handsome, and I had not even gotten a close-up look. I zoned in on Theo when it came to Dominic speaking to the pack. I really should have been paying attention to his words, but I was not certain that it was possible with my mate looking at me like I was the only being in this entire universe. How in the hell did I get so lucky to have someone as amazing as Theo for my fated mate? I would rather have nobody else. Part of me was nervous about him thinking the binding pledge was lame, but I could feel his elation and love as it crashed through me so purely. It showed me that this was something he truly wanted because it was us being irrevocably tied together. Nothing could separate us. For him to know that was what I desired just made his body flood with pure joy. “Brynn Fullilove has always put this pack first in all ways. She’s spent years in the shadows, taking
BRYNN Sebastian asked for a dance and swept me back to the dance floor from our table. We had always been closer than our own shadows. Many people in the pack assumed that we would be paired together by fate, but fate had other thoughts. It did not matter though because I honestly could not imagine Sebastian as anything other than my best friend. It would have taken plenty of rewiring if we had turned out to be mates. “You look beautiful, B. I’m incredibly happy for you two. He hadn’t been my favorite person in the beginning, but he definitely won me over with how much he loves you,” Sebastian said softly as he spun me around the dance floor. His mother insisted on us both learning ballroom dancing growing up. Now, I was glad that she had insisted. It made me look a little classy. “That means so much for me to hear, Seb.” I smiled at him. “I know that things weren’t always easy, but you’re one of the most important people in my life. You’ve been there through everything, and I don
THEO It was a beautiful sight to wake up next to my mate and Luna in our own home. It felt great to wake up next to her in our suite, but that did not compare to now. That had been a place that existed before her. This home existed because of us. It was a great distinction to me. I placed a featherlight kiss to her head before slipping out of bed. As quietly as possible, I threw on some shorts before heading downstairs to the kitchen so that I could make her breakfast. There was nothing on the schedule for today, so I wanted her to get the chance to sleep in. Brynn was a hard worker, one that could rival me at times. That was definitely saying something because I lived and breathed my duties to my packmates. It was always what brought me the most solace in life. Now, I had a mate who definitely surpassed any solace my position could ever give me. I was not the best chef out there, but I might have been taking lessons in private so that I could learn to cook for her. That was a secr
THEO Yesterday was definitely relaxing. Brynn and I spent the entire day with each other. She insisted on cooking dinner, so we took our chicken parmesan to the roof and ate underneath the stars. I was glad that she loved the house as much as I had hoped for. Zen and I put a lot of thought into it and had been extremely pleased with the outcome. It was easy to imagine a future with the pitter patter of pups running through the hallways. Similarly, it was easy to imagine Brynn and I curled up on the porch swing when we were old and grey. “I love you,” I told her when we took our seats at the desk. “Just as I love you,” she replied with a sweet smile. We were about to join the conference call that I explained to her about yesterday. It was amazing that she was able to piece together something that we might never have. It was so expertly designed by their enemies to hide the true reason for the attacks. What could I say? My Luna was a brilliant badass. The screen blinked once before
BRYNN “Can we fully move into our home once we get done with this mission?” I asked Theo as he locked the suite’s door. “Absolutely. I was actually going to suggest what could be done about the Alpha suite. What if we gave it to Sebastian and Lucinda?” he asked me. I stopped walking down the stairs and turned to him, wanting to truly see his expression. There was no hesitation or grimace in it at all. There was just appreciation for the amazing friend that Sebastian had been to me all my life. He knew that it was not easy for me growing up, but Sebastian had been my rock through it all. “That’s an amazing and thoughtful gesture. I’m sure they would truly appreciate it. Can we tell them before we leave?” I asked, bouncing with excitement. He chuckled and nodded, placing a kiss to my temple. My mate was feeling all kinds of smug that he was able to make me so happy. ‘I’ll make sure to show you just how happy you made me at the hotel, my sexy Alpha god,’ I purred. The surge of lust
THEO I only slept for an hour before my body tearing me from dreamland. There was no returning there no matter how hard I tried. My arms held onto my mate while she slept. I knew that she needed to be here for whatever reason, but that did not mean I was free of worry regarding her safety. She was very much capable of taking care of herself, but it was something I could not help. No honorable mate could. Brynn was my world, and I would stop at nothing to keep her safe. I just sincerely hoped that this scouting mission would be eventless. One thing that I would never do was to treat her like she was made of glass. My mate was strong and capable, carrying herself through any situation with remarkable ability and determination. I placed a kiss to the top of her head and inhaled her scent, allowing it to wash over me to keep me grounded. This was not the time to let my emotions run wild because I needed to be in control so that I could ensure that nothing surprised us. The alarm on m
BRYNN I had never been more appreciative of the training my father put me through than I was during this scouting trip. He taught me everything he knew about tracking, and it certainly came in handy here. It also helped that my skills were tested against the Elites, our pack’s best warriors. That was what gave me the ability to spot footprints and blood in areas that would normally be overlooked. My mate sent his pride, encouragement, and love down the bond. I was glad to have him beside me throughout all of this because he was the only thing that kept my panic down to a manageable level. There was an oppressive feeling in the air, but it seemed to be that I was the only one who could sense it. There was something very wrong going on here. I just hoped and prayed that it would not come back to bite us in the ass. Rachel, my father’s cousin, was being held prisoner by these Neanderthals. Her gift of stealth was exactly how they were able to go from place to place essentially undetec
BRYNN I had been extremely grateful that Maya gave me the heads up about the bullet moments before it hit Theo. There was no time to do anything except put myself in its trajectory, something that I would choose to do each time if necessary. Jackson and Sebastian had gone to get the shooter. I knew that they would definitely succeed because they were just as pissed off as Theo that I got shot. The innocents were understandably confused and shaken about what was going on. It was hard for them to trust strangers after everything that they had been through. However, Rachel’s assurances to them that we were here to protect them definitely helped. “Delivery,” Jackson sang out as he was dragging an unconscious idiot behind him. Either he put up a fight, or they just got to the fun before ever bringing him back here. It mattered not either way. None of us took kindly to what these assholes were doing both to the packs that they were targeting or to the innocents here. We needed to get o
Hello, lovelies! I just wanted to let you know that “Design of Fate” is officially up on the app, so I hope you will check it out. Jackson is always strong pillar of support when others need it, without question, and without fail. That is why he was chosen for this particular journey with his mate. They will both have difficult obstacles to overcome in order to find their peace and happiness. True to form, the Goddess has connected people together in a significant way. Tune into the new book to see how the design of fate plays out. I sincerely appreciate all of your support and encouragement throughout these books. I love hearing your feedback, theories, and thoughts. – Shana Allen
SNEAK PEEK – “DESIGN OF FATE” - JACKSON Imeela. The name sounded like a prayer. Imeela was my mate that I met two days ago when she was being attacked by a group of vampires. She had held her own very well until it was not. Brynn had got me out of bed for a road trip but would not tell me where we were going. Luckily, she had the forethought to bring warriors with us. Goddess, she fought them like a lethal warrior. Not only was she deadly, but she was fucking gorgeous too. Brynn worked her charm and convinced her to come back here. She was given the choice to either use the extra bedroom in my suite or a guest room. Thankfully, she chose my suite. Well, our suite. However, she was extremely reserved, but I could not blame her. It was easy to see that her life had not been easy. That hurt Zeus and me to think about. She had woken up screaming from a nightmare this morning, and now she had been pacing in her room for the past hour. I had no idea what she was going through, but tha
BRYNN “Have you guys decided on his name yet?” I asked, looking at the beautiful cherub in his arms. Beautiful blue eyes, peachy skin, a head of hair that matched his mother’s color, and the most adorable button nose. He was so perfect. “Matteo Ray,” he said, smiling at his firstborn. “Ray after his godmother just with a y instead of an e,” he said, winking at me. Tears stung my eyes, but I desperately tried to keep them there because it would ruin my view of the little guy. It had meant everything to me when they asked me and Theo to be godparents to their son. To share the same middle name as him meant just as much to me. I took Kalen from her father and got her situated. Goddess, she was two now, and each day was a new adventure. Everyone, us included, had been very surprised with how calm she generally was. There were times when that calm wore off, but that was a rarity in comparison. It seemed that the Goddess’ blessing was quite literal with blessing her with both strength a
THEO Remember that flash drive the doctor mentioned? Yeah, it had quite a bit of fucking shit on it. The contents definitely gave the Council everything that they needed to intervene. Trust me when I said that they definitely decided to intervene in a creative way once the bastard was apprehended. Would you care to take a guess what they decided? Mhm. Exactly! They called my mate in. So, we headed back over to Coverstone with a viewing party, consisting of all the leadership. Dahlia was thrilled to be brought in officially as Gamma Female. She was a multi-threat personality, so we would see how this played out. Brynn decided that we would be playing a new game. She still had not explained to any of us what it would entail other than to imagine Twister meets carnival games. That explanation really set me ablaze with need. I needed to witness this game and needed to see what damage it would cause. From what we understood, it would be the dipshit CEO, the doctor, and the P.A. all in
BRYNN Today would be interesting to say the least. We had a few things to accomplish, so we began our day early. Mira wanted to come along, and she accomplished it with those damn wolfy pup eyes that she perfected. That was her terminology, and I would never be able to think or say puppy dog eyes ever again. Our first stop would be to Coverstone so that I could question the doctor and P.A. myself. Trust me that was not why she wanted to tag along. Nope. It was because of our second stop. Theo, Mira, and I would be visiting the site where the study was being conducted. As such, we needed to look the part. That was why I donned a midnight blue pencil skirt and matching blazer with a white blouse underneath it. My hair was pulled back into a twisted bun. Only minimal makeup was on my face because I had always preferred to have a fresh look. Then I put on low heels because I did not want to kill my feet too much today. Mira looked so adorable in her little business outfit. She had insi
THEO We had left Scarsdale in promising hands. Alpha Scott, even though he insisted on us still calling him Scott, had many great plans to strengthen the pack and cleansing it of his father’s touch. We made sure that he understood that we were only a call or text away. Caleb and Thalia were growing closer and developing a sibling bond. She felt overwhelmed at times, but my mate was definitely helping her to find her place in the pack. Thalia had a rough life thus far, so we wanted her to feel free and happy. Brynn had taken it upon herself to work with her each day as she taught her self-defense. Thalia was a hard worker and eager to learn everything that she could. I watched as Brynn walked hand in hand with Mira from the swing set. These two females were everything to me. Although, I should add in the third one that I had yet to meet. Some of the guys had joked that I must be hoping for a little boy to help counterbalance the estrogen in the house. It would not bother me if all o
THEO Scott was left with the Council and their warriors to get things situated. Luna Charlotte and Richard offered to help Scott, but he just asked her to rest. Robert offered to take her to lay down somewhere, but she did not want to go back to the Alpha floor. He understood that and offered to take her to his home. They both looked happy with the truth of their mate-bond. They would have their own trials to overcome, but I believed that they could be happy together. We went with Caleb to see Thalia. He was extremely nervous, knowing that this was his sister. He also felt guilty because he had left, and even if he did not know that she was his sister, the truth remained the same. He escaped and found a good life for himself, but she was left here within the clutches of a lunatic Alpha. Hopefully he would one day see it was not a burden that he should carry. The past needed to be left in the past so that the future could be embraced. Caleb stood in front of the door that Scott had
BRYNN While the bastard Alpha was apprehended, we would need to deal with the remaining pack. An Alpha set the standard for a pack. This Alpha was a fucking bastard who did extremely despicable things, so it was safe to say that there would be more in this pack who shared the same ideals. First, we needed to speak with Scott. The safest option was for her to mindlink him, getting him up here. I helped her rinse off the powder first so that it was possible. Surprisingly, I was able to keep my anger reigned in when I took stock of even more injuries. Luna Charlotte was extremely embarrassed that someone else was seeing the state that she was in even if that embarrassment was misplaced because there was nothing to be embarrassed about. It did not take a rocket scientist to pinpoint what caused her to feel that way. “I want you to look into my eyes so that you know I’m speaking the truth with these words.” I paused until her eyes met mine. “What he did to you is unforgivable and shows
THEO As much as I did not want my mate to be on this mission, I did see how much her presence had already helped. From being able to pull on the shadows for our cover to doing what she did with the chick in the kitchen. Brynn and Moira had both been training hard with Tris and Paise to master her Vessel abilities. They still had not been able to identify them all since there were hundreds of possible abilities that previous Vessels had of their own. Not everyone had the same abilities. Thus, it was a long process of figuring out which ones they were able to utilize. ‘Our mates are powerful and sexy,’ Zen commented. ‘Not to mention that they both are really adventurous.’ He snickered as he remembered the last time that Moira surprised him by calling him out to her trail and attacked him. Okay, attack was definitely a loose term. You could not attack the eager and very willing. Her howls of pleasure were loud enough to catch the attention of a couple of patrol wolves. When they came
