"Someone did that to you?" He settled next to her, pulling her close and nuzzling his face against the back of her neck.

He felt her nod slightly. "I'm sorry. And I'm sorry I had to pull away. I was close to shifting."

"I know." She whispered the words. "I probably shouldn't have mentioned it while we were on an airplane. It's probably not the best time to get into it." She untangled herself from his arms so that she could turn, looking up at him through her long dark lashes.

Luca saw fear, real fear, reflected in her eyes for the first time.

"You know Dani, there's nothing that you can tell me that's going to make me stop loving you. I'm not going to reject you. You are mine. And I am the luckiest man, and the luckiest wolf, on the planet." She smiled weakly, but the smile didn't reach all the way to her eyes.

"You wanted to know why I don't heal like a normal wolf?" She asked abruptly, her brow creasing, her eyes dropping to stare at her hands, which she brought up between them

    "We're home." He nuzzled her ear and she stretched, blinking as she stared out the window in surprise. She couldn't believe she had slept through the jet landing."What time is it?" Dani rolled onto her back, wiggling her toes and staring up at the ceiling before turning to look at him. She really had no idea how long she had been asleep."It's 3 o'clock in the afternoon. But only because we gained an hour by moving over a timezone. You slept through lunch." Her stomach growled loudly as if in agreement with what he had just said. "But I thought I should let you sleep. You've been through a lot." She narrowed her eyes at him and he shrugged. "In the last twenty four hours I mean. Actually it's been less than that. Isn't it strange to think that twenty four hours ago my plane had just touched down yet on your old pack's land? And we hadn't even met."Bending he brought his lips down against hers lightly, so that sparks flooded her body as his mouth brushed by, knowing how it would l

    "You can tell her it's a G-class." His mouth was on her neck, his canines grazing the spot he longed to mark, then and there on the airstrip.Luca felt her body arch towards him with desire, her head tilting away, the moment he came near it. Her legs were around him, pulling him towards her core, and he ground against her, through more layers than he would have preferred, his wolf urging him to sink his teeth into the spot and claim his mate once and for all. It would make it much harder for their Luna to run.But that wasn't how he wanted this to go.With a small sigh he took a step back, pulling away from her, as he tucked a strand of dark hair behind her ear. "You have no idea how much I want to take you right now, to take you right here on the hood of this car.." She bit her lower lip when he said the words, turning to gaze forward as he slammed the door shut."Oh, I think I have some idea, Alpha." She whispered, running her hands impatiently up and down the leather of the sea

    Dani stood before him, wearing nothing at all, and Luca found that he was breathless, his heart pounding in his chest as he stared at her waiting on the edge of the lake, her long dark hair flowing down around her shoulders. He'd promised himself that he wasn't going to have sex with her until things were at least a little bit less complicated, which meant at a bare minumum one of two things needed to happen.The first requirement that needed to be met, was that she had stopped talking about running away and that she had agreed to stay and be his Luna. He knew that the heartache of her rejection would be a dozen times worse if she did it after he had mated and marked her and so he had to try his absolute best not to give in to the hormones and natural mate pull that was telling every cell in his body to take her in his arms and have his way with her.The second requirement was that she needed to feel safe.The longer Luca spent with Dani the more he began to realize that if he coul

    "I'm glad, Kitten." He helped her into a sitting position. "Now we should head back. Because there's an entire pack that wants to-" "Wait. First let me-" she managed to climb down off the table in front of him and got down on her knees. Luca's breath caught in his throat. Dani was staring up at him through her long, dark lashes, biting her bottom lip seductively. What she was planning to do was incredibly clear and it was very tempting to let her. He could just imagine how amazing her mouth would feel on his cock and he had very little doubt that she would be very good at sucking him off. While this internal struggle was taking place he felt her lips brush across the head of his cock and he knew that if he didn't stop her in that moment he wouldn't have the self control to do it in any moment after that. "Stop." he barely managed to say the words, putting a finger under her chin and raising her head. Luca carefully helped her to her feet, lovingly running a hand through her long d

    "As I'm sure you know our pack is the largest on the continent." Dani glanced at Luca out of the corner of her eye and saw that his chest seemed to have swollen slightly with pride as he made this statement. She rolled her eyes and turned her attention forward. "Exactly three thousand wolves, prior to the addition of you and your mother, live in our town. We have five restaurants, a gas station, a hair salon, a barber shop, a coffee shop, a bakery, two grocery stores, a boutique, a vet's office, two doctor's offices, two bars, a bookshop, a flower shop, and a bowling alley. I'm probably forgetting a few businesses, but you get the idea. We have just about everything you could need, right here in Lovellton." Dani's eyebrows danced across her forehead a second time as a stifling feeling of suffocation pressed down on her chest. Lovellton looked like a lovely little town. But she couldn't imagine being stuck here for the rest of her life, limited to a handful of paltry shops and small t

    "I feel like we should continue our tour of the house." He said as she pulled free of his hand and sank onto one of the soft, plush cushions, amazed at how tired she was after simply sitting and laying and sleeping all day. Oh and after getting off while laying on a picnic table. Her cheeks burned red at the memory. "And what are you thinking about?" He saw the blush creep up her neck and onto her cheeks and smelled the scent of her arousal, which immediately caused his own body to respond. "That turnabout is fair play." Dani leaned forward suddenly, pushing a hand through her disheveled hair, which hadn't seen a brush all day, even after their swim, before grabbing him by the belt loops. With one experienced hand she quickly undid his belt, her other hand unfastening his pants, all while she looked up at him through her dark eyelashes, her wide brown eyes the picture of innocence. She ran her tongue lightly over her lips, before giving him a small, teasing smile as she tugged at th

    "Everyone understands. We're newly mated. It's expected. He rubbed her back, his hand traveling lower and lower with each stroke towards the tempting curve of her ass. She pressed her face harder against his chest, still reliving the embarrassment. "Now, I meant what I said. We need a shower. Your things are already upstairs. Let's go get cleaned up, and then you really can check and see how your mother's doing. I know you won't be able to relax until you make sure she'd alright." Dani lay back on his bed, freshly showered and dressed, listening to the water still running as Luca took a shower of his own. Closing her eyes she imagined him, naked, the water from all those luxurious high powered shower heads running over his body. And that bathroom, she shook her head at the thought. It might be the best thing about the entire house.The interior room was made with what appeared to be smooth natural stone, which had felt cool under her feet as she walked into the warm room. There was

    Dani was sitting on one of the stools at his kitchen counter, eating her third piece of bacon pizza and swinging her legs slightly as Luca poured her her second glass of wine. "So do you feel comfortable talking about her?" Luca asked the question as he set the glass down next to her. "She seems so different today, from yesterday. And I just want to be able to help you with her, because it seems like you have had so much responsibility in your life and as Alpha here I can delegate a lot of that so that she can have the professional help that she needs to get better." He watched Dani carefully, hoping that he hadn't overstepped, but she shrugged, and ran her finger over the rim of her wine glass as she began to chew on her bottom lip, signalling to her mate that she was nervous again. "If she doesn't drink and if she takes her meds it's not that bad. Who knows what she'd actually be like if she could do it for more than two weeks straight. She promises too but she's never been able

    This is the last chapter. Thank you all for supporting me! Wish you all the best in life. Lots of love!"Come on Dani, you can't be late to your own baby shower!" Stella was dragging her down the hall as Dani rolled her eyes. "I can't move that fast anymore Stella. I know that you've never been pregnant yet but ask Emery. It slows you down. Especially twins." "She just can't wait to see her Bestie. Fern. They haven't gotten to see each other in a month since the last council meeting of Alpha's when Kent was officially sworn in. Do you know how moppy my husband has been since he lost his third in command?" She turned her eyes accusingly on Dani who ignored the question, instead turning towards Stella. "I thought I was your Bestie!" She said in a teasing tone. "We're all best friends you guys." Stella linked arms with the other two women as she walked between the two Lunas, slowing her pace. "And when is the next time we're all going to be together?" "Probaby when she pops?" Emery

    "Now lets see if this fits." He helped her slide the ring onto the fourth finger on her left hand and she finally got a good look at it. The ring was a simple, gorgeous, round cut diamond and it fit perfectly when he slipped it onto her finger."I love it." She said, throwing her arms around his neck and burying her face against his chest. "It's perfect." As she pulled away her eyes drifted back outside to the valley below. "You still haven't told me where we are. Where did you buy a home?""Kittilä." He replied, staring out the window at the beautiful white landscape below.She shook her head. "I have no idea where that is.""Lapland. We're in Finland in the Artic Circle. I promised you Northern Lights. I know it's early in the year still but so help me I'm giving us our best chance at Northern Lights on our week long trip. At least we're pretty far north this time." "We could just wait a bit until it's later in the year.""I don't want my mate to have to wait for anything after

    "Where are we?" she asked as he began to lead her, blindfolded, towards the door of their personal jet. It wasn't tropical or humid. In fact, it was rather cold and she hadn't even stepped outside yet.Dani had slept for so long on the plane that she had no idea how long they'd been flying. They could be anywhere at all in the world. And she was impatient to know where Luca had taken them and what exactly his plans were. She had never been good at waiting for surprises."Kitten, you told me that you were going to let me make this a surprise for you. Don't try to peak now." One of his hands was on her side, as he tucked a long puffy jacket over her shoulders."Is this new?" she asked as he helped slide her arms into the sleeves."Here, step. How do these boots feel?" he ignored her question as he helped her into a pair of comfortable new boots that she couldn't see."They feel perfect. How long have you been planning this? And where are we?" Her hands, which were now being warmed

    "Do you know that you are approximately eight weeks pregnant?" The doctor's eyes were glued to her face when she asked the question, as Dani sat on the bed frozen, feeling her own eyes grow wide."I- I-" whatever it was she had thought to say was trapped inside her head so she let out the breath she only just realized she'd been holding and tried again. "I guess I had begun to suspect it in the last few days. I'd just started to feel sick. And the healing thing.""The healing thing?""I don't know if you noticed my old injuries? Dani began."Yes. Your wolf actually was able to heal most of your injuries before you got here. There wasn't all that much to do. You didn't even need stitches. It was impressive. But we checked you over carefully for other injuries and we could tell that there were old injuries that hadn't healed the way they should have if you'd had your healing abilities intact, and that those were both bone breaks and the ones that included your old scars.""Just bef

    It was morning when Dani woke up in a hospital bed in New York City. She blinked, gazing around at the brightly lit room. In a moment Luca was by her side. "This room is insane." she whispered, her throat feeling scratchy and dry.Somehow Luca had managed to get her a corner room with glass windows that made up a huge portion of the walls with incredible views of the city. Before she'd spoken and woke him up, she realized, he had been sleeping in a comfortable looking recliner. And her bed was much more comfortable than a typical looking hospital bed. The sheets and blankets looked like they should have been in a fancy hotel."The doctor will want to know that you're awake. They wouldn't tell me anything until you woke up. But it looks like your healing is accelerated again for some reason. As soon as they removed the knife I could tell that it wasn't like before. Your wolf started to help with your healing. I should have noticed it earlier in the cuts and bruises from your fight wi

    Dani knew that Luca had won his fight, somewhere behind her, when she smelled the blood of Beta Reed spill across the cold tile of the floor. She knew Beta Reed well. He'd taken his turn torturing her when she lived here. He was every bit as cruel as his Alpha and she felt her snout curl in an approximation of a smile before she focused back on the battle before her. She had an idea of how she might take down this Alpha, but it was risky.Could she get Alpha Harding to let down his guard because he believed her so weak she wasn't worth guarding against? It would be ridiculous for him to do it, but he was an Alpha, and nothing if not arrogant beyond measure.Dani charged at him again, doing the exact same thing she had done the previous time. This time he sent her sprawling with another powerful blow of his paw. She noticed that his claws weren't even extended. He'd never once hurt her in his wolf form. He preferred to torture her as a human.He'd hit her hard and she'd slid all the

    Dani shoved down the wave of nausea that tried the push its way up her throat. She didn't have time for any of that. If she survived the attack she would worry about what the way she had been feeling these past few days might mean.She hadn't gone into heat. What were the odds of getting pregnant if she hadn't gone into heat when she was with Luca? Hell, she'd never gone into heat once in her entire life. Privately, she'd believed it was because Harding had done something to break her body, between the hard physical abuse and the injections. She'd intended to talk with Luca about it, but the time never seemed right. And she hadn't really known if her body didn't work the way the Goddess had intended it to, which had made it even harder to bring the subject up. After all, what exactly would she say.When she'd tried to bring it up with Dr. Evans, back at Harvest Moon, the doctor had ordered an ultrasound and some blood work and had then assured Dani that everything looked to be in wo

    "Thank you for joining us Fern." Alpha Harding hadn't looked up, and Stella, with her now human hearing abilities, hadn't heard the frail looking girl arrive, but when he said her name, every head in the room immediately turned in her direction.The little maid looked nothing like she had when she had first knocked on the door to Stella's room. Stella remembered that Alpha Harding had mentioned earlier that "they" had picked out a dress together. Stella was certain that Fern had had no part in picking out this dress. Like so much of Lyra's clothing it was crimson red, just like the lipstick that was now smeared across Fern's full lips.The dress itself was simple. It was cut low on top, with Fern's small, full, round breasts, which fit her frame nicely, nearly spilling out of it. On the bottom it was so short that Stella could tell that the little maid's fingers were itching to tug it down so that it would cover more.As a child who had been forced to wear many dresses that she was

    "It smells like summertime. Like rainbows. Like everything that's good and pure in the world." Waylon was following close behind Dani, as he had been since she first left Alaska, but she had never felt so tempted to give him a good hard smack upside the head. "Head in the game, Parker. What are you drunk?" she hissed the words under her breath as she moved forward through the dark tunnel, her steps slow and silent, her mind vaguely registering her own surprise at knowing his last name. "If I didn't know any better I would think that you just found-" she let her whispered words trail off in the middle of her sentence.No. That was impossible. The odds of what she had almost suggested were a thousand to one and it would be cruel to give Waylon that sort of hope, especially when they were on this sort of a mission and she had no particular reason to believe that it was true. It was more likely that the poor man hadn't gotten a good night's sleep in the last week, since he was so worri
