Luna's Unwanted Mate See, she's blushing!
Back at the house, I found Christine in the kitchen again, bustling around with three other women, all prepping lunch. They moved with the ease of familiarity, clearly accustomed to working together. Christine greeted me with a warm smile."Hailey, meet my daughters, Chloe and Elena." She gestured towards two young women in their early to mid-twenties, both bearing a striking resemblance to her.The only difference was their brown hair, untouched by the streaks of grey that adorned their mother's. Next to them stood Chloe's friend, Natalia.Natalia offered a shy smile, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. Her pale blue eyes and average build made her blend easily into the background. A quick assessment told me she was likely a lower-ranking pack member, content to follow the lead of others. No challenges there.We exchanged greetings, and I quickly joined the women in preparing lunch. Chloe and Elena, both married with two children each, explained that their little ones were off w

The weight lifted from my chest as I looked out the window, watching the scenery fly by. Yesterday, everything felt uncertain, but today, my heart was lighter, and my outlook brighter.Two days ago, I mated Killian. Two days! It felt like a lifetime.So much had happened: the bonding ceremony, meeting the pack, Chester's attack, Josephine's appearance, and the strange incident with the red car.My new friends were determined to show me the best the town had to offer. We explored clothing stores and shoe shops, trying on winter clothes just arriving. Chloe and Natalia both bought new coats, and Elena was tempted by a purse and matching boots.I tried a few things on, but nothing felt right. I didn't need anything, and my financial situation was uncertain. At home, I helped my father with his work and Lily with the house, earning a small wage from the pack budget.Now, I was essentially unemployed, relying solely on my meager savings. I needed to talk to Killian about it. Maybe I could

The door creaked open, letting in a sliver of moonlight that sliced through the smoky gloom. A tall figure stepped into the bar, his black leather jacket seeming to swallow the meager light. He moved with the quiet grace of a predator, each step deliberate and measured.A hush fell over the bar as if someone had thrown a thick blanket over the room. Every head turned, every conversation ceased, as if pulled to the newcomer by an invisible force. The clinking of mugs, the murmur of voices, all faded into the background as the tall man surveyed the scene with a predatory gaze.His eyes, like chips of ice in the dim light, swept over the room, taking in every detail, the hunched figures, the nervous glances, the weapons laid carelessly on the tables. A faint smile played on his lips, a flicker of amusement in the face of their wary respect.He moved with the unhurried confidence of a man who knew he commanded the room, even in the den of those who themselves hunted monsters. He stopped a

After dinner, a small bonfire was lit for roasting marshmallows. Everyone gathered round, couples naturally drifting together, while Christine benevolently watched her grandchildren running about the yard chasing the bubbles she was blowing for them.In the flickering fire light, I scanned the assembled group. Linda was sitting between our beta, Romeo's legs with her back resting against his chest while his arms were wrapped around her swollen body, gently caressing her belly.Chloe was snuggled up to her husband and giggling at whatever he was whispering in her ear, while Elena sat beside her mate, contentedly holding his hand.I recently learned that the other two couples were Lucius and his mate Susan, and Micheal with his fiancée, Aurora. The two men had helped look for Chester the night before.They were sitting nearby, quietly talking about a movie they had seen recently. Near the edge of the circle of light cast by the fire, I could make out Natalia and Elias holding hands, it

Sunlight pricked my eyelids, painting stripes of gold across Killian's bare chest. I burrowed deeper into the warmth of him, savoring the lingering phantom kisses on my skin. My mind spun with the echoes of last night, a kaleidoscope of sensations I never knew existed.Being with Killian was like stepping into a forbidden forest, each touch a whispered secret, each kiss a promise of something primal and wild.His voice, rough and sleepy, rumbled in my ear. "I know you're awake, little mate."I cracked open an eye, a smile playing on my lips. "Am I?, I feel asleep in a damn good dream, because I don't feel like going anywhere."He chuckled, his fingers tracing a path up my side, settling his hands on my breasts. Goosebumps danced across my skin. "Oh, I can make reality even better," he murmured, his voice a low growl.A shiver ran through me, and I peeked up at him, my heart skipping a beat in my chest. His eyes, the color of a stormy sky, held mine, and for a moment, the world narrowe

Of course, Killian heard what I said, “Hailey, Josephine isn’t like you, and she willingly admits it. She’s more comfortable around men and has trouble getting along with her own sex, but that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t want friends.” He reached for my hand and laced his fingers with mine, his tone becoming gentler.“Hailey, you managed to make friends with several of the pack within one day of being here. Josephine's just like you. She wants to fit in, but the difference is, she doesn’t know how. Over the years, she’s been pretty good about it, never complaining about how the females treat her, but it’s been hard on her always feeling like she’s on the outside.""Did you know that she was going to be engaged to Viktor? When he left, she was devastated and she’s still trying to come to grips with the loss. She doesn’t have the energy right now to deal with women being catty to her.” He put a finger under my chin and tipped my head to meet my gaze“I’d really appreciate it, if you’d

The smell of frying eggs hung heavy in the air, a stark contrast to the weight of Christine's words. She was whipping the mixture with a vengeance, her normally calm demeanor replaced by a simmering anger directed at the absent Josephine. Over breakfast preparations, I confided to Christine that Killian thought Josephine needed a friend. "That girl," She spat, her voice thick with disdain, "plays her cards like a seasoned gambler, and the men fall for it every time.""That girl can put on the best act around the males and they buy it every time, hook, line and sinker! I can only imagine the tale she spun for Killian. ‘I was just trying to be friendly. Everyone misunderstands me. And I’m still so broken up over Viktor.’ Bull! She’s mad because Viktor lost the challenge and now she isn’t lady of the house.” Christine was getting worked up and beating the eggs faster and faster as she spoke, the sticky mixture threatening to fly over the edge of the bowl."Killian, of course, is blind t

I laid my hand on her arm, “It’s okay, Christine,. Killian is really stressed from all of the problems the pack seems to be having right now. If befriending Josephine for a while takes one worry away from him, then I guess I can do it. I might not like it, but I’ll do it.”Christine studied my face for a minute, then smiled. "Hailey, I know your mating was arranged but...are you falling for our Alpha?" I shrugged, turned and busied myself with buttering the toast. “I honestly don’t know. Before I was mated to him, I had a boyfriend named Stephan. We’d been friends all our lives and I thought I was in love with him, but now...I don’t know. I mean, if I really loved Stephan, how could I be drawn to Killian? I haven’t known Killian for that long, but I do like him as a person. He’s been very considerate, and when we’re together, there’s this feeling, a connection, that just seems so right.”Leaning against the counter, Christine spoke hesitantly. “Hailey, I’m used to ‘mothering’ everyon

Luna's Unwanted Mate Final Chapter
A week later, the world felt a little flatter. The police had finally wrapped up their investigation. It was a random act of violence, they said. Lucy, just in the wrong place at the wrong time. A stupid, pointless loss. The idea that Aldrich wouldn’t be blamed for anything grated on me, but I knew involving him would open a can of worms I wasn’t ready to deal with. It wouldn’t bring Lucy back anyway.We brought her home, to Stump River. The town was in mourning. Armand was a shadow of himself, the twinkle gone from his eyes. He disappeared for days after the service and I wondered if he’d turned into a bear and wandered off to grieve in the woods. Were his emotions as raw when he was in animal form? Or did he spend his time scratching at trees, trying to claw the pain away? When he finally reappeared, he looked haggard, but there was a strange kind of peace in his eyes.Beth and Josh went all out with the newspaper article. Pictures of Lucy, smiling and laughing, filled the pages.
Luna's Unwanted Mate Stump River
Morning. I reclined in the seat as Viktor slowly drove the car out of the parking garage. We’d talked on and off throughout the night and I’d finally accepted the truth of what he’d been telling me. I was becoming a werewolf. There’d been anger and tears; he’d apologized, even though forcing my transformation hadn’t been intentional. Eventually, I’d come to a sort of numb acceptance of the fact.However, my whole life was changing now. I wasn’t just Adriana Watson, waitress and journalism student. Now I was Adriana Watson, secret werewolf. From what I could gather from Viktor's ‘crash course in wolves,’ they were social creatures and lived in packs. There was an Alpha who kept everyone in line and made the important decisions, though pack meetings were held to discuss options. Full moons were a time to party and, if you were new to the whole werewolf thing like me, you had no control and transformed once a month. Older wolves could fight the effects if they wished, though most didn’

My heart pounded like a trapped animal as the lycans closed in, their red eyes burning into me. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. These creatures were straight out of a nightmare."Adriana, get behind me," my voice was frantic as I shoved her aside, preparing to shift."Vik..." she whispered, clinging to my arm."Don't worry, Everything will be alright, just need to handle a few stray dogs that's all" I managed a reassuring smile, and then I charged. A towering black wolf replaced me, my fur bristling with tension.The air was thick with the metallic taste of blood and the sharp scent of fear. My senses were on high alert, every hair on my body standing on end. Dozens of pairs of eyes, glowing like embers, focused on me. A massive red lycan charged, but I was faster, slipping beneath its snapping jaws. I countered with a swift attack, his teeth sinking into the lycan's flesh.A deafening howl filled the cavern as the red lycan bucked me off, sending me crashing into the cold, damp
Luna's Unwanted Mate The truth
Adriana's povThe metallic tang of blood filled the air, thick and suffocating. Viktor and I stood frozen, our gazes glued to Aldrich's lifeless body slumped on the floor. A single, neat bullet hole marred his forehead. What the hell just happened?The echo of Mr. Greyson's voice shattered the stunned silence. "A pleasure to finally meet you both, Miss Watson and Viktor Donovan... or should I say Viktor Dominique?"My head snapped towards Viktor, relief flooding my chest at his presence. According to him, he was some kind of werewolf. Maybe, just maybe, with him by my side, I had a fighting chance.A nagging worry gnawed at me. If what Viktor said was true, then did that mean I wasn't entirely human? I shoved the thought aside. This wasn't the time to unravel my existential crisis. Getting out of this place alive was priority number one. Viktor could explain everything later.Viktor narrowed his eyes at Greyson, his voice laced with suspicion. "How'd you figure out my real name?"Grey

Viktor's povFollowing a hunch, I hailed a cab and rattled off the address for Greyson's estate. The city was a chaotic mess, a constant symphony of honking horns and shouted insults. I tuned it out, my gut churning with worry. My wolf whined its primal need to find Adriana, to know she was safe.The thought of her alone, grappling with the Change with no guidance, tore at me. Would her body and mind accept this forced transformation? Or would she fight it, a resistance that could be fatal according to Nadia? The icy grip of fear tightened around my heart.But then, a chilling logic surfaced. If she'd spilled the secret, if the wolves knew, she was already a dead woman walking. Was a swift death from the Change preferable to one at my hand? Could I even look her in the eye, deliver the killing blow?Alpha. Duty. The words echoed in my head, hollow and meaningless. Images of Adriana flooded my mind her warm brown eyes, the defiant lift of her chin, the way she'd make me laugh with her

Panic clawed at my throat as Lucy's ragged breaths became uneven. Her pale face, framed by blood-soaked blonde hair, sent a jolt of fear through me. My fingers trembled as I brushed her cheek, whispering her name, but there was no response. A string of curses ripped from my lips. This wasn't right. She shouldn't be hurt, possibly dying. This wasn't her mess. Lucy was pure sunshine, always radiating warmth and kindness. Guilt gnawed at me, reminding me of her playful teasing, the way she'd sashay around with a tray of drinks and a witty comment on her lips. I blinked back the moisture stinging my eyes. Steeling myself, I rose. Moving to the sofa, I sniffed where the unknown male's scent lingered. A scent and a maybe-name –l meager scraps of evidence in a city this size. The scent would be impossible to track, and "Greyson" meant nothing to me. What the hell was I supposed to do? Sirens wailed in the distance, a sharp reminder of the need to leave. Being caught at a crime scene would

The door suddenly opened and I was forced to abandon my conflicted thoughts. Jumping to my feet, I turned to face an obviously surprised Lucy. “Viktor, what are you doing here?” “Hi, Lucy. I… um… ” She walked up to me and kissed my cheek, before moving to take her coat off. “Never mind. I know the truth." “You do?” He stiffened, assuming the worst. “Of course. You’re sorry for your fight with Ria and came here to make up.” “Uh… Right. That’s it.” I latched onto the lifeline she’d unknowingly handed to me. “I’m here to make things right.” Lucy nodded, glancing at Adriana lying on the sofa, her face quickly changing from a happy to grin to real concern. “Oh, is she sick again?” “Yeah. She fainted coming into the building and I carried her up here. She has a fever. I was just going to give her an aspirin." “I’ll get some from the medicine cabinet.” Lucy turned to go. “No. I already checked. There isn’t any. Um… why don’t you sit with her and I’ll go to the store.” I f
Luna's Unwanted Mate Reunion (2): Shifter
I didn't know where she was. Just be quiet, I ordered myself, clenching my jaw. Creeping past the doorway, I peeked into the first room the bedroom. Clothes were strewn everywhere, a mishmash of Lucy's floral patterns and my own dark t-shirts. Her scent lingered, a familiar mix of lavender and something distinctly... her. The bathroom was empty, the towels abandoned in a heap. Back in the living area, a few papers lay scattered on the counter. Junk mail, bills, nothing interesting. But then aha! On a nearby table, Adriana laptop glowed, left open. Sitting down, I scanned the screen, my stomach tightening. My name stared back at me, bold and accusing, next to a picture file I knew for a fact I'd deleted. That little...! Somehow, she'd gotten more copies. Fury surged through me as I clicked on the document titled with my name. The more I read, the deeper my scowl became. By the time I reached the final paragraphs, I wanted to hurl the damn machine across the room. There it was, in bl
Luna's Unwanted Mate Reunion (1)
“Are you sure you’ll be all right?” Lucy stared at me with a frown. “You still don’t look so good.” We were leaning against the kitchen counter sipping coffee and preparing to start our day. I, however reluctantly, had to head off to meet with Aldrich, while Lucy was going to spend the morning taking a bus tour of the city that I had recommended. Rolling my eyes, I reassured Lucy, yet again. "Honestly, I'm fine. The fever broke last night. My arm's not as sore. It's just a lack of sleep and nerves over this meeting that are making me look less than prime. I'll go see Aldrich and give him this report while you take a tour of the city. Then we'll meet back here for lunch and go shopping." "Why don't you just e-mail the report and come with me?" I sighed. "I wish, but Aldrich hates e-mail. He wants face to face contact. I think he likes to watch people squirm." Seeing Lucy's concerned expression, I added a light laugh. "Don't worry. I'll be fine." "Well… if you're sure." "Go." I
