Chapter 27 - Old secrets

"What did you hear?" I asked cautiously.Savannah pressed her lips and looked down, "everything.""Damm! " I sighed and rubbed my temple."I am sorry, I didn't mean to... I wasn't intruding, Alice. But, now I understand why you are still unmarked." She said in a very placid tone. I could not understand how she was going to take this. As a beta, her loyalties would always lie with her Alpha."It's not that simple, Savannah," I sighed."Why don't you explain it to me, if you can trust me? I know how to keep a secret." She smiled, it seemed genuine enough."How can you keep a secret from your Alpha?"" What I mean is you can share your issue with me, maybe I can provide you with a solution to this problem. Lucian and I have been friends for a long time. I know him quite well. I might be able to help." She insisted.For a moment, I wondered did Savannah and Lucian date. But that thought seemed stupid. He had assured me h

Savannah sat in front of me, staring intently. I had narrated my entire situation with Mark and Lucian to her. I was taking a massive risk, but I did not have a choice."Well, that's pretty messed up," she responded.I nodded in agreement."You understand, don't you?" I pleaded with her."I think your friend Emma is right, you should talk about this with the Alpha, and clear your stand. He will be heartbroken because he had been waiting for his mate desperately. He was particularly difficult in the last two years. But it would be for the best, I believe. "I stared at her in disbelief. She was fine with me dumping her Alpha. I did not expect such a response from Savannah."Really? You think so?" I asked.She hesitated for a moment."The pack recognizes the fact that you are still unmarked, and unmated." She said pointedly."Crap! So, those make-out sessions were not leaving enough scent to convince them." I thought internally."I heard them

He stared at my face for a few minutes."Your mother was a human who was turned, right ?"I nodded," Yeah she was a keeper like my aunt Flora.""Are you certain?" He asked quietly."What do you mean?" I asked surprised."Today in the Alpha meeting, I met an old friend of mine. He knew your parents. Michelson told me that your mother was a witch.""What! That's the most stupid thing I have ever heard." I replied, feeling a bit enraged. "Is that what Alphas do? Gossip about dead parents?"He held me tighter," please don't be angry, love, I am not trying to insult your mother. A natural-born witch is rare and cherished. We often take their help for getting different spells. They are very much respected. If your mother was a witch, that makes you special."My anger was replaced by confusion."I don't understand. Rick never told me anything like that."He rubbed my bare arm absent-mindedly while staring at the crackling fire."I talked to your
His reluctant Luna Chapter 30 - Barbeque
AliceThe kitchen was a whirlwind of activity. Pans were flying in and out of the large ovens, piles of vegetables were being washed, chopped, and diced, and enormous amounts of meat was being prepared ready to be grilled. During one of Katherine's trips around the kitchen, I have had enough. I was supposed to sit and relax, but I was never the one to sit around when there was work to be done. Moreover, after our scorching kiss in front of the pack, everyone's mood seemed to have lightened, and they were all ready to party. Taking a spare apron off the rack, I joined a girl chopping onions. It was a few minutes before the girl realized I was there. Wide-eyed, she dropped her knife and just stared. "What?" I asked. "Madam Luna, you are not supposed to do this work," the girl stammered. I smiled, "I want to help," and continued chopping. The girl just continued to stare. "Come on, get back to work," I said to her. The girl immediately joined back. I asked her name, she said she wa
His reluctant Luna Chapter 31 - Heat
Alice (POV) - Within a few minutes, my nipples were getting hard, and I was getting wet down below. As we ran, I was getting hornier and hornier, I could only think about satisfying my sex craving. And the pain. I was almost burning up. I followed closely behind Lucian as we left the party and house and walked to a truck.I have never had a sudden heat like this one before. By the time female werewolves reach the age of 18 they know what to expect. Werewolves get into heat usually every six months. During this period, they can get pregnant if they have sex with their mates. The pheromones released during the heat is so strong it draws all the males around. No male wolf can resist a female in heat.In earlier times, mothers used to lock their unmated daughters in their homes for those two days until the heat passed over. Or used herbal teas to mask the scent, otherwise male wolves would go crazy and give in to their animal instinct. With the d
His reluctant Luna Chapter 32 - Heat 2
Alice - I woke up with the morning sunlight streaming through the window. A low pain was rising in my belly. It was not hunger, though I was hungry, a different kind of desire was overpowering my need for sustenance."Mate! Where is our mate?" Lana hissed to me. I could feel her trying to break out. I was soon hot and sweaty."Good morning sweetheart," Lucian's familiar voice made me snap.He was walking towards me from the kitchen area, holding 2 cups of steaming coffee, He had pulled on his shorts but otherwise, he was shirtless. I stared at him hungrily. He smirked then sat down next to me, placing the cups on the side table. How was it possible to look do devilishly handsome right out of the bed? Maybe, it was because of the heat."How are you feeling now?" He said, tucking a damp lock of hair behind my ear."It's happening again," I said breathlessly."I can see that," he gave a cocky grin."Please," I was begging ag
His reluctant Luna Chapter 33 - Trouble
Lucian's POV - It was the second night of our stay in the cabin. Alice's heat had mostly subsided. The heat starts very intensely, then slowly subsides over time. It usually lasts 2-3 days, depending on how many orgasms the female wolf had. In Alice's case, she had ample.Her flushed skin and that healthy glow ascertained the fact. My wolf was happy yet pissed. He was happy that we could provide pleasure to our beautiful mate and pissed that I had not marked her yet nor made her pregnant with our pups. Standing in my doorway, however, Alice looked twitchy. She would not stop moving her eyes from side to side, as though waiting for something. I stopped the dinner preparations and called out to her."What is it, Love? You look worried.""We should return. My heart is fine now. I mean, it is nothing I cannot control. " She replied."You still have the scent. Since you are an Alpha, it is much stronger. It is enough to drive the pack males crazy. We'll leave tomorrow morning, what's the h
His reluctant Luna Chapter 34 - Remembering you
Alice - I watched terrified as fire forked around the cabin, eating through the walls and furniture. I shifted immediately, but the manacles were too tight for my wolf feet. I could just grow claws and hair. I tried to pry off the manacles in my hybrid form, but it did not budge."Help!! Lucian!" I screamed.The smoke was too thick to breathe. Even with my enhanced senses, I was unable to see anything through the thick haze. It was just like 15 years back, nine-year-old me running through the fire and smoke. The feeling of utter helplessness came over me when I thought maybe Lucian was so pissed off that this was his doing? He could not be that mad at me to kill me? Tears welled up in my eyes, yanking me out of my stupor and back into the world of feeling. I heard frantic howls from outside. Then the heat, raw emotion, and pain were too much to bear, then everything turned black. ------±++++±---------------------------------------15 years ago - ------±++++±------------------------
His reluctant Luna Chapter 35 - Rescue and rejection
Lucian's POV - I ran through the woods. Jake was feeling morose, "Our mate loves another," He said mournfully. "Kill him," he hissed. I ran even further. I was away from Alice to keep her safe, from myself. I didn't want to hurt her. Suddenly, the smell of burning timber filled my nostrils. My ears twitched, then her bloodcurdling scream filled my head. I dashed back towards the cabin."No no no no!" I screamed and ran into the burning inferno. Alice had fainted, crouching near the bed. "Please don't die!" I shouted.Shifting into my human form, I took out the key from the hidden drawer in the bed. The key was always there, she just did not know it. I unclasped the lock and released her foot from the manacle, which was tightly bound to her ankle. She had tried to shift, but the manacles would not let her."I am sorry, Alice," I whispered before carrying her outside.********"I remember you now," my mate said. Lying down on the soft grass. I had mentally contacted my Betas and the r

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"
His reluctant Luna Chapter 44 - Good end of things
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."

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

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
