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

"I am fine, Rick, honestly. Lucian saved my life for the second time." I told my brother.Rick frowned and glanced at Lucian, then me."Second time?" He asked."Yes, when dad died in that hotel fire. Lucian was there. He saved me. I remember everything now."I explained how we met in that burning hotel when we were kids. Rick blinked as if trying to comprehend the information."How did you get back your memory?" Rick asked puzzled."I don't know, probably because of the repeated incident related to fire. A doctor might explain it better." I replied. "You saw who killed our father?" He asked softly.I nodded. Though I did not know anyone by their faces. Rick then turned towards Lucian; he had a much softer demeanor now."Thank you for saving my sister's life. I owe you one, Lucian Blake. I wasn't aware that you were also present in that Alpha meeting," Rick said a little stiffly. I rolled my eyes; I did not understand why my brother hated Lucian."I was 13, and my dad started me early
His reluctant Luna Chapter 37 - Bracing for the inevitable
Lucian's POV - I was going through the paperwork to catch up on the business and keep myself distracted. My chest was hurting, which was expected. My wolf had been distressed ever since Alice left. He did not understand the human side of my emotions and complications."Come in," I said automatically on hearing the knock."I brought your dinner, you didn't have your lunch, Alpha," Katherine said, laying down the tray."I am not hungry," I replied, reading the same line of the document for the third time."This will not do, Lucian. I know you are missing your mate. That does not mean you start ignoring the food. I might be a lone wolf, and not know much about mates, but I know that, by staying hungry, your mate's not going to come back." Katherine shoved the plate of pasta at me.I smiled and took it from her. She had been like a second mother to me ever since my own was unable to take care of me. She was the one who alerted me about the poison all those years ago and saved my life. I s

"Oops, sorry it's in my bag," I fished out the ring, and put it on.He looked at me with narrowed eyes." Can we have dinner now, I am starving?" I spoke."Please," I repeated.The random restaurant which I had chosen was good, but it was the most awkward dinner of my life. We barely talked, and Mark was upset. I spent the entire 20 minutes thinking about how to broach the subject. Was it appropriate to break up during dinner or after it? Perhaps later, I was going to break his heart. The least I could do was, let him eat in peace."You are going to break up with me, aren't you?" Mark said as soon as we were out and walked through the alley towards my car.I was supposed to say something, but I could think of anything."Mark, let me explain," I squeaked.He sighed and shook his head in disappointment."I am sorry, Mark, I know I have hurt you; I need to tell you this, Mark, you need to understand.""No, Alice, it's not relevant at all," He snapped angrily and turned into another alley.
His reluctant Luna Chapter 39 - New problems
Alice "He is bleeding, I need to heal him," I said frantically as Mark's shirt soaked with his blood."NO! " Lucian boomed behind me.He pointed his finger at Damon. "You heal him." Damon groaned, but he could not defy his Alpha and started to lick Mark's wound with his long tongue, reluctantly, of course."You come with me," Lucian held my arm and led me to another SUV."Take off your shirt!" He ordered."What!" I stammered.He rolled his eyes, "you are injured, let me heal you.""Oh!" I realized my mistake," I am fine."Werewolves can heal rapidly; however, some deep cuts do require healing. "Your sweatshirt is soaked with blood. Let me heal you, Alice." He said a little softly.I entered the SUV and took off my shirt.Strong arms wrapped around my shoulders and pulled me to his chest, my back to his front. I felt the angry pants of air he took as he held me. It took me a minute to realize, he was l()vivid.He dipped his face over my back and arm, licking my wound with his coarse
His reluctant Luna Chapter 40 - A well thought plan
Alice's POV - "The problem remains, though; I don't want Mark to turn and stay here. He doesn't belong here." I spoke.Lucian's lips curled into a smile. "I don't want him to stay, either.""What should I do? Rick won't listen to me." I lamented."He is doing what any Alpha would do. Our existence can be threatened if he speaks. And seeing his outburst, he would not remain quiet. He might also go insane due to the shock." Lucian said with a serious demeanour."Are you suggesting? No! I cannot let him die. " I looked at him horrified. "He is important to me."Lucian narrowed his eyes, "well, do you want to save him or not?" "I do.""Then don't say stuff like that otherwise, I would kill him before Rick does." He snapped."I am dealing with a serious issue, while all you care about is your stupid jealousy." I retorted.While we glared at each other, aunt Flora's voice caught my attention."Hello, dear, who is this young man?" She asked as she approached us through the white hospital co
His reluctant Luna Chapter 41 - The trial
"I am sorry for everything Mark, have a safe trip," I said to Mark while sending him off at the airport.After Aunt Flora had done her spell. He was moved to a human hospital under the supervision of the pack doctor. He woke up groggy, remembering nothing of the wolf attack. I fought with Rick and Lucian to let me stay with Mark. That was the least I could do for him. He was declared fit to travel after a few days."Alice, it's ok. I admit I was upset, but probably we are not meant to be. I hope we'll stay friends." He said with a smile.It was so much better than the fearful and hateful looks he had given earlier."I am not returning, Mark," I said softly."That's a shame, you were one of the best in my team." He spoke."I belong here, and I don't want to make things awkward.""I understand, you can mail your resignation. I will take care of it." He spoke."Take care, Mark," and hugged him.It was hard to describe what I felt. Mark was sweet,

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."
His reluctant Luna Chapter 43 - New dreams
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
His reluctant Luna Chapter 42 - Stuart meets his fate
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
His reluctant Luna Chapter 41 - Escape
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
