"What did you mean about expanding your territory?" She was holding up a blue bikini and trying to decide whether it should go or stay, while purposefully not looking at him. "Just that. My territory has gotten bigger over the years." Dani dropped the bikini into the suitcase and turned to look at him. "How?" She asked seriously. "What do you mean how?" His lips curved upwards in a half smile. "Exactly that. How did your territory 'get bigger?'" She said the last two words in a mocking tone, making it clear that she wanted him to lay the explanation out in simple terms. "Well, when I see something that I want, I take it." He pushed her back against the bed as he said the words, leaning over her slowly and breathing in the clean, delicious scent of her skin. His body ached for her, and his wolf paced inside of him, begging to take her, but he refused, instead only reaching out and tracing her cheek lightly with his finger tip. "I've wanted a great many packs that I have come acro

She saw Luca's shoulders tense. He turned, his eyes entirely black. "I told you to wait with Lars." He growled the words. "And you should know that I don't do what I'm told. Even by you Alpha." "Oh she's perfect for you, Luca." An absolutely gorgeous blonde, in a tiny blue satin teddy appeared in the doorway next to Luca. She ran her hand across his chest and he flinched away, a growl escaping his lips."Enough Lyra." "You must be the famous Dani. I am Lyra Harding of the Bear Moon Pack." She smiled sweetly, looking at Dani with enormous blue eyes through her long dark lashes. "Lyra." Dani said her name in the exact tone that she usually reserved for Luca's title and Luca laughed, meeting his little mates eyes. "Now that you're here Dani," he said, holding out his hand to indicate that she should come to him, let me show you our quarters for the flight, if we want privacy. I'm going to have to get one of the flight attendants to change the sheets," he frowned at Lyra and turn

"Don't call me that." Dani snapped, keeping her voice low and pushing her hands further down into the soft lining of her jacket."What, Kitten? You don't like that name that now?" He reached up and touched a strand of hair that had fallen free when she was struggling in the arms of his third in command and he didn't miss the small, involuntary movement when she winced away from his touch. "No. I don't. I think Lyra does though." Luca's eyebrows jumped up a fraction. "She used it when she was mocking me earlier. I don't need a second hand pet name." "Don't let Lyra play mind games with you, Baby." He drew in a deep breath and frowned. "Are you hurt? Did Teo do something to you?" Dani turned away, looking out the window as Luca's eyes turned black.She shook her head. "No. He just kept me from going out after you." "I can smell blood. Please, Dani, let me help. Show me what happened." Slowly she pulled her hands from the smooth lining of her jacket, exposing the cuts were her

Dani woke up to find Luca's arm wrapped tightly around her waist, clasping her against his chest as he snored lightly near her ear. He was snuggled up to her back and as she squirmed trying to move away from him he didn't loosen his grip. Instead he pulled her closer and she felt the bulge in his boxers growing hard against her ass with every tiny movement that she made. "Luca," she whispered, not wanting anyone in the front of the jet to hear her. "Luca, wake up." He took a deep breath, pressing against her again, harder, his hands running up under her shirt, leaving a trail of sparks in their wake as they found their way to her breasts. "You aren't wearing a bra?" He murmured sleepily, his lips brushing lightly against her ear. "I'm surprised you didn't notice earlier." She replied as he tweaked her nipples lightly before running his hands back down over her smooth, hard stomach, enjoying the feeling of her tiny waist. "I guess I'm just a gentleman." He bit her earlobe gently as

"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

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
