Missing: The Woodland's Luna Queen Chapter 10 - You're Just Jealous
The Royal Jet taxied over a first-class runway in Latin America until it came to a stop.As the pilot opened the door, a gorgeous young woman stepped out onto the platform. The suit on her body fit her beautifully, accentuating her sexy curves and all. It was a designer's, which revealed that she was not exactly destitute. Demonstratively, she slid the sunglasses onto her nose and looked around as if she owned the place."Alira!"Another woman, about her age, ran up to her. Recognizing her, Alira flew down the stairs and fell into her friend's arms. The two hugged each other tightly and even did a little dance."Girlfriend! Here you are at last. It took you a long time to get here, but now everything is falling into place. I have my great-uncle on my side. He is the one who tied the knot and ordered you to come."The two women walked to the waiting vehicle with their arms around each other's waists."So Alessandro wasn't really thrilled to see me again? That bastard! I should have kno

Joanna’s Point Of ViewThe wedding was tomorrow.Finally, I was officially becoming Clyde's wife, and I couldn't wait to say my vows to the man of my heart. Judging by the look on his face over the last few days, he felt the same way.Lately, the only place we met was at the dinner table.Mariam had forbidden us to speak or see each other unsupervised, she had moved me to her suite, despite Clyde's loud protests. Georg, my father-in-law, was exiled to the guest room, which he surprisingly took lightly.Natali and Sybille were appointed to be my bridesmaids, Carlo and Alessandro were Clyde's best men.Goddess, I missed my fiancé, a week without him was like a century in a desert. We saw each other three times a day only during meals, then I couldn't take my eyes off him. The despair of waiting radiated from him. Yesterday, I heard him trying to bribe his father to lure his mother out of the bedroom so he could have a moment with me. He failed miserably, of course, the man never did any

Still Joanna's Point Of ViewAs I gazed into the mirror, it was hard to believe that the beautiful woman looking back at me was indeed myself. The artists had worked their magic on me, expertly crafting my makeup. My eyes were beautifully highlighted with a flaming shadow in soft colors that suited me perfectly. And complementing the look from head to toe, my dress was skillfully tailored. Mariam truly outdid herself, she persuaded me to choose this dress yesterday so the seamstress could make the adjustments in time. The result was absolutely stunning. My heart leapt at the thought that Clyde would be seeing me in a few minutes. I was certain he was in for quite a surprise. God, I could hardly contain my excitement about being with him. Tonight we would finally be in each other's arms again, but this time as husband and wife. "Stop daydreaming again, Joanna. I can already hear the organ playing, which means you need to make your entranc

When Clyde saw us coming, he heaved a sigh of relief.His eyes were fixed on me, filled with a glow of joy and adoration. It was as if the world around us faded away, leaving just the two of us in that moment. There was a depth of love in his eyes that made my heart swell. Then he was overcome with emotion and I saw his eyes water, a single tear running down his cheek.Alessandro patted him reassuringly on the shoulder and whispered to him as he watched my entrance with an approving grin. Sir Georg and Mariam also stood there, glowing with pride. I could see that they too were overcome with emotions they were trying very hard to hide.But Clyde's gaze never left me. It was a look that promised eternity, a silent vow of undying devotion. Our silent interaction was interrupted by my father's voice."Clyde, I give you my only daughter in good faith. From this day on she is yours. But you have to promise me that you will always make her happy, treat her with respect, more than you did in

In the Mancini Clan..."My King, the kidnappers were one hundred precent werewolves. They covered their scent. They took the highway south and then left in helicopters," Clyde's Secretary Jace reported. "We are now investigating which pack they belong to. Not all of them are wealthy enough to own an aircraft and that brand of vehicles, so we may know within hours which trail to follow."Clyde sat up straight on the bed, still unable to believe that Joanna had been taken. And now he learned that ordinary werewolves were behind all this."How dare they mess with me! Do they even know who I am? Let me know as soon as possible which Alpha dared to challenge me, I will deal with him personally. His last minutes are ticking away. If that bastard lays a finger on Joanna..."Clyde half-shifted into his Lycan, his wolf unable to bear the thought of not being able to protect Joanna. Xin adores his human mate, he was the one who drew Clyde's attention to her when they first met. He had describe

Prince Clyde's Point Of ViewDamn it!!! I didn't see that coming.If Joanna were the mate of a werewolf, it couldn't be anything but an Alpha. This operation was far too big to be set up for an ordinary pack member. Rather than approaching me to discuss the issue, he resorted to kidnapping my wife like the criminal he truly is.Shit no, I couldn't leave this case like this. Joanna was mine, I even had the wedding book in my pocket as proof of our commitment. Alpha should have kept his hands off my wife and just called in the Council. If he had done so, Joanna would undoubtedly turned his ass down, she would have rejected him and choose to stay by my side instead. Humans don't experience a mate bond like we do, and whatever attraction she felt wouldn't be enough to pull her away from me permanently.Sybille's words deeply troubled me. Joanna betrayed my trust by spending the night with the Alpha and keeping it from me. That hurt, a lot.Probably she couldn't challenge t

In the Mancini Family Living Room…Natali helped Clyde to the chair next to her father and sat down on a small couch beside him.In front of them stood Alira, with Jace standing at a distance. The Secretary called Prince Alessandro in the mind link to drop whatever he was doing and sign up to the living room with the utmost urgency. The man was in the study working on his laptop when he received the message.‘What's going on, Jace? I wanted to finish some work to allow Clyde could focus on the case with Joanna. Couldn't you do it without me for a while?’ he asked, his eyes still glued to the screen.‘Actually, no. This whole meeting is all about you, Alessandro. I hate to break it to you, but that lady Alira is here. She has been here for a few days now."With a jerk, the Prince's head was up and his face turned into an iron mask.He knew what his father was up to but had no intention of taking Alira as his mate. What they had was a temporary fling that he had no plans of making into

Carlo pulled away from Alira, but his hand was like a vise around her throat.His eyes were like hot coals, gone was the moment of euphoria of having finally found his mate. Instead, he now saw a potential criminal who had done serious harm to his family.Everyone in the living room jumped to their feet as Clyde and Jace surrounded the couple."Alira, you better come clean. There are two of the strongest Lycans among us, and I cannot stand alone to protect you. The best thing you can do at this moment is to confess," Jace dryly suggested to the woman. "We already know that Sybille has something to do with this. Now we want to know what your part is. And make no mistake, nobody here is in the mood for games."The woman swallowed several times and looked anxiously at her mate. But Carlo's priority was his brother, the mate bond was less important to the throne now."Yes, the closer you are to the truth, the better for you. I am your mate, but my feelings are secondary to those of the Cr

Missing: The Woodland's Luna Queen Chapter 100 – Not Going To Die
Crown Prince Clyde’s Point of ViewListening to my woman beg for my affection was heartbreaking.Never before had she needed to do that, a single touch from her was enough to make my head spin. Hating to see her like this, she put aside her pride and offered herself to me, fiercely and totally. I would have liked to give her everything she asked for and more, but it was crucial that I held my ground until she was willing not only to desire me but to choose me, to keep me. This new Joanna must love me if she wanted me, it was a package deal, a complete and unbreakable deal.In her subconscious, she knew how we were together, and her body yearned for that connection. She wanted me, and I wanted her more than words could say, but not unconditionally. I knew I was playing her dirty, manipulating her emotions, but I didn't care, the end justified the means.Joanna is mine, I am willing to fight for her with every weapon at my disposal, and in war, all tactics are allowed.

Missing: The Woodland's Luna Queen Chapter 99 – You Have No Right
Three days on the yacht, and we were all having the time of our lives.We jumped and played in the open sea, savored delicious food, watched movies together, chatted, and sunbathed on deck. The men sometimes tried their hand at sport fishing, but so far, there had been no catch, something we women teased them about mercilessly.We had since sailed out of the Hudson River and into the vast expanse of the Atlantic. At the moment, we were bobbing in the open sea, but yesterday, I had spotted a green blur in the distance that looked like an island.We were sunbathing on deck again, me wearing one of those minuscule bikinis I had found in the small closet in my room. Clyde had thoughtfully ensured I had plenty of clothes on board, mostly bikinis and casual wear.Next to me lay Alia and Janice, both also in swimwear, though a lot more decent than mine.Their mates were implacable, they insisted that they cover their bodies completely, despite their fervent protests. I guessed mated wolves
Missing: The Woodland's Luna Queen Chapter 98 – You Rescued Me
We stared into each other's eyes for a few timeless seconds.I couldn't believe he was finally here, in front of me again. How many nights had I dreamt of this precious moment? I had thought I’d lost him forever, already resigned myself to the inevitable, to a life without him.But here he was, my Prince, my husband!“Clyde,” I whispered, the name a sigh of pure happiness, a feeling so profound it made my heart ache with longing. My eyes, I was sure, reflected all the love I felt for him, a love that had never wavered. For a fleeting moment, I saw a flicker of doubt in his eyes, those beautiful blue gems I could never get enough of. Holy goodness, how I had missed him, his warmth surrounding me, the sense of security he always offered.I wrapped my arms around the magnificent wolf and buried my face in his thick fur. I took a deep breath, mimicking a gesture I had often seen Clyde do to me, and a soothing sense of calmness swept over me. An incredible sensation of belonging and secur
Missing: The Woodland's Luna Queen Chapter 97 – The Alpha or the Crown Prince
Joanna’s Point of ViewPuzzled, I stared from one to the other, my head spinning.This sudden turn of events was completely unexpected, I no longer understood anything what’s happening at the moment.“Someone mind telling me what’s going on here?” I demanded.The warrior stopped the vehicle and turned to me. All three of them - Alia, Janice and Rubio - had their eyes on me now, their expressions stern and unyielding.“Princess, you have to tell us now,” Alia said firmly. “Do you want to be the Luna of Woodland, or do you still choose to be with the Crown Prince? I need your answer now to determine which way we go.”A sudden surge of joy welled up inside me, a feeling that seemed to originate from the very depths of my soul. Was it still possible to go to Clyde? The thought filled me with an overwhelming sense of longing. I wanted nothing more!‘Tell her we want to go to the Crown Prince, Joanna. I'm dying here. We really need to leave,’ the voice inside me urged, startling me with it

Alpha Abel’s Point of ViewA rising unease gripped me as I stared at Ludwina.“Ludwina, where is Joanna? Why aren’t you at the Spa with her? What are you doing here?”I grabbed her arm, trying to control the sudden surge of panic. The premonition I’d carried all day was starting to take shape, solidifying into a tangible fear.Had Joanna left? Had she changed her mind at the last minute? And why hadn’t the guard at the gates notified me?A thousand unsettling thoughts raced through my mind.“Calm down, Alpha,” Ludwina soothed, offering a reassuring smile. “Everything is fine. The Luna has gone to the lake with her friends to relax. A warrior is with them, nothing can go wrong. Let her unwind, I’ll send for her as soon as it’s time. This is a picnic basket I'm sending for them. Relax, Alpha.”Relief washed over me, so potent I almost staggered.Damn! My fears almost got the better of me.“I came back because I have a few more things to put in order so that the Luna will be properly pre
Missing: The Woodland's Luna Queen Chapter 95 – Everything Is Alright
Alpha Abel’s Point of ViewToday was my mating and Joanna's Luna ceremony.But throughout the day, a nagging feeling persisted, a sense that something was amiss, as if this idyllic scene could shatter like a fragile balloon at any moment.It was all too perfect, too good to be true.Joanna had been so agreeable lately, the resistance she had shown upon her return had suddenly vanished. She even initiated our touches, our kisses, as if she had fully accepted our mate bond and was ready to spend her life by my side.But something was definitely not right. Even Hex was suspicious.My Head Warrior and the Beta of Moonlight Seekers ran in their wolf forms beside me, we were on border patrol. I wanted to ensure safety myself tonight, nothing could go wrong, not on this momentous occasion. Though I didn't expect the Crown Prince to risk the wrath of the Council by committing any drastic acts on my territory, it still was better to be safe than sorry.We approached the northern border, the ar

Still buzzing from our earlier conversation about the upcoming ceremony, we stepped inside the Spa unit.The cheerful atmosphere, however, quickly dissipated as a heavily made-up middle-aged woman approached us, her presence radiating a distinct chill. Her aura was dominating, her smile failing to reach her thickly lined, cold eyes. She was garishly dressed, her intricate gown trailing along the floor like a scene from a historical drama.“You must be Joanna,” she greeted me, her voice laced with a distinctly hostile undertone. “The woman who Alpha Abel brought to the pack.”She paused, her gaze sweeping over me from head to toe, her lips twitching disdainfully.“I'm Lily,” she continued, her tone dripping with condescension. “Your hostess at this Spa. Let me take a good look at you.”She reached out and grabbed my arm with two fingers, as if she was picking up something dirty.Her touch irritated me, violating my personal space. I wondered where she got the audacity t

Joanna’s Point of View stillRelaxed, I stretched out, a sense of calm I hadn't felt in days settling over me.Last night, I finally experienced a deep and restful sleep that had been out of reach for quite a while. The nightmares and the persistent unease that had haunted me during my waking hours finally faded away. Even the nagging voice inside me, the one that whispered warnings and doubts, was quiet.A smile graced my lips, I felt unburdened, lighter than I had been in weeks.Tonight was the Luna ceremony, the pinnacle of everything that had brought me to this point.But strangely, the usual panic, the suffocating dread that had been my constant companion, was absent. I rose from the bed and walked to the private balcony that overlooked the front of the packhouse. To my surprise, it was buzzing with activity. The driveway was decorated with colorful banners, the main street lined with stalls and booths, and in an open courtyard, a covered tent and a widescreen had

For the rest of the day, Alpha Abel gave me a tour of the pack grounds.The entire group came along, even the Elders, Ludwina, and Sybille. It was like a government delegation we knew in Human Town, a formal procession. The Alpha's mood had improved considerably, the earlier strain replaced by an almost jovial demeanor. I, too, put my best foot forward, striving to appear cheerful and happy, playing the role expected of me. This seemed to work its magic on the group, everyone relaxed, the earlier awkwardness melting away, and the day transformed into a pleasant, almost festive occasion.Many pack members came over to greet me, eager to make my acquaintance.It seemed as if the Alpha had given them advance notice of my arrival, orchestrating this meet-and-greet. They were all curious about me, naturally, but I also sensed a palpable relief emanating from them. I couldn't quite decipher the reason for this but I suspected they were simply looking forward to finally having a Luna, to pr
