It has been two days since the birthday birthday, and everyone has been on their way to their respective places. Summer had decided to stay for a bit instead of rushing off to her late mate's pack, much to Claire's delight because they were both crazy, so they got along well.Claire and I, alongside other servants, cleaned up everywhere, and set everything back to how it was before we used it. The hall and the house were back to being clean, and we stored the decorations for future use.Today, I was going to the hospital to try my hand at working as the receptionist, even though Hayden did not want that, but after much pleading and acting out yesterday, he gave me the option of Josh following me to make sure that I did not overwork myself and to phone him if I did."No."No." I disagreed. "The only reason I wanted to be a receptionist was that I wanted to actually work and not just sit down in some office and have someone stand behind me, watching all my movement.""There is nothing I
I took a step back, almost falling, but then I caught myself and screamed."Help, Josiah, help me," I said, then started running towards the front of the hospital. As if he was around, I saw him running towards me."Luna, what is the problem?"I pointed at the person who was clad in black and was running away. "He tried to grab me; go after me."He shook his head. "I can't; Hayden will have my head if I leave you unprotected, but I will mind linking the others to go after whoever it is.""I give you a command as your Luna. Go get that fool that almost made me fall," I shouted, but he did not answer. When I looked at him, I saw that he was mind-linking someone."Josiah, I will be inside the hospital. Just go after him," I said while shaking him, but he grabbed my hand and started to lead me in."Josiah, I will...""For god's sake, Luna, I am not leaving you; your mate will have my head. Now please let me finish linking him; staying too much in one's head is not fun."I shut up, still f
"Are you hungry? I could microwave you something really quick," I asked, still enveloped in his hands, but he shook his head."What do you want me to do then?" I questioned him because his face was still betraying no emotion. I tried to get out of our hug so I could look at his face, but he just held me in his hands while heading towards the bedroom. He stopped in front of our children's room, looked inside, then closed back to the door.He went inside, dropped me on the bed, and climbed on. He took my mouth in a kiss and I opened it for him immediately, his tongue stroking mine and his hands on my back massaging it.I slipped my hand into his hair, running my hand through it, while he devoured my mouth. His tongue slid to my throat, nipping and having me moan out his name, His hand roamed over my b*obs, teasing them with the dress still on, then pulling my nightgown up and running his hands on my curves."Hay...den," I moaned, but then I felt his hand on my pants, and he started rub
Alix pov"Oh my god, definitely the dress," Claire said, clapping her hand.I bowed playfully, but when I looked in the mirror, the dress was truly beautiful and fit around my curves like a glove."Yes, but I will still adjust the straps a bit here; we don't want your breasts to fall out while you dance with the Alpha," Crystal said, touching the shoulder area."It looks okay to me. Are you sure that it needs adjusting?" Claire asked herCrystal was about to answer her, but Regina beat her to it."You would not know. You are not a stylist anyway.""Regina shut up," Crystal said, then turned to Claire. "She does not mean that, ma'am.""Yes, she does, or she would not have rolled her eyes just now when you apologized to her. Come closer, Regina, or I will let my mate know about this insult. What do you think he will do?"Her head snapped to Claire, and she came closer. "I did not mean any disrespect, ma'am. It was just a reflex action; I talk like that
Jax dashed outside, and Josh rushed to me, pulling me behind him while scanning and sniffing around to see if he could detect anything.I stood there frozen because I could not believe that it was happening again. Hearing my mate tell me that I might be in danger did not touch me, but seeing it happen to me again was terrifying.I felt someone tap me, and I grabbed the hand immediately, but the person grabbed my other hand."Chill, it is me, Claire. What the fuck is happening? Why did Jax run outside like someone lit a fire in his ass while Josh is in front of you and sniffing everyone?"."All clear, you may go sit down, Luna; I will be looking around," Josh said, then Claire and Summer pulled me to sit down.Everyone's eyes were on us, and the once noisy place was quiet now; even the babies were quiet too."Go back to what you are doing; everywhere is clear," Josh said, and slowly people began to eat again."Tell us what is wrong." Summer demanded.I looked around to make sure that p
And like I said, he must not have heard me because when I got to the kitchen after showering and everything, Shantel was there, marinating the meat and washing vegetables while packs of noodles were lying around."Good morning, Luna," she said to me, and she concentrated on what she was doing. Finn was lounging in the chair in the sitting room and was doing something on his phone, but he greeted me immediately as I entered.I answered with a smile, then went back to the kitchen.The vibe around her had been different since she was taken to that dungeon, and I don't blame her, but I kind of missed when she used to start a conversation with me or tease me about something, but now, they shrank when I was near, and when I try to stay while they discuss or cook, they will look so uncomfortable that I will leave them alone and find something else to do, and it was really to bother me."You will be attending the mating ceremony today, right?""Yes, Luna, I will go get ready once I am done c
"Umm, this is Marcus Flain. One of the best soldiers I have ever seen. I hired him a few days ago," he said, pointing at him.Marcus moved forward while smiling and extended his hand for me to shake, but Hayden grabbed the hand."Nice to meet you, Marcus," Hayden said, taking the hand before I could even reach it."We have already met before Alpha, Alpha Finn introduced us," he said, trying to pull the hand, but Hayden held it."Use your senses, Marcus," he said, dropping his hand. "Where did you get him from? What happened to your soldiers that you need another person from another pack to come guard you?""I did not find him. He is a rogue, so it's good that he works his stay out and not just stay in my.pack eating my food, and he is one of the best fighters I know, so don't let his baby face deceive you."Marcus smiled, then looked at me and said, "It is nice to meet you, Luna.""You too; I hope the journey was pleasant," I said, but I did not smile back because something inside of
I hissed and then tried to drag my hand away, but Hayden pulled it back and whispered,"What is the problem?"I looked away, so he told Cecelia, "I will see you later. My mate needs something."She looked around like she had not seen me standing there. "Hi, Alex. I did not see you there. You look beautiful.""Thank you, Excuse me," I said, and I pried my hand away successfully. I then started to walk away, but then I felt him following me, and he pulled me back."Where are we going?" He asked me."None of your business; feel free to go back to snuggling with your former lover," I said, looking away."What do you mean? She was telling me about...""She was rubbing her body against yours to provoke me. She was not telling you anything.""No, she was trying to tell me about the meeting that we had.""Alpha Hayden, your party is lovely," a voice said, interrupting us.I turned, and a tall young man who was almost as tall as Hayden and had a sweet smile was standing in front of us, while
