Lyra

My mind is running at a mile a minute. I’m feeling dizzy and nauseous by the time Silas puts me down, and all around me his people are celebrating. I feel trapped for some reason. The sounds and smells suddenly make me feel really sick, and I burst through their small crowd and rush to the bathroom.

When I finally emerge from the stall, the two females are waiting, and I’m a little agitated when they just try to help and make sure that I’m okay. I return to the table to find that Silas had somehow got his hands on champagne.

“I can’t drink that.” I point at the glass that is clearly mine, and he grins at me.

“That … is apple juice.” He winks, surprising me. “We can go and get your stuff in a couple of minutes. You should also resign from your job. I don’t want you working while in your condition. I will make sure Mrs. Duncan has help to replace you.” I gawk at how confidently he just informs me of my future plans.

I know that he is a wolf, but dang! I have rights, don’t I? My bod

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 11 - Precious moments ...

    LyraWhat was happening was the one very strange thing about the werewolf world that, even after all these years, I still hadn’t gotten used to. Werewolves never moved slowly. Everything they do is always at such a fast pace.They meet their destined mate and the next day they are basically married and starting their life together and, usually soon after, they are expecting their first child and all before they are old enough really to know how life works.I shake my head as I make my way to the window. With my arms crossed tightly over my chest, I look out at the world below where werewolves of all shapes and sizes are going about their daily business. If the human world knew that the monsters were real …I sigh and decide to take a nap. It has been a long couple of weeks. I’ve been through the ringer and back, and it doesn’t seem as if my life will be a lot easier now. I am going to have a child with the man I had a one-night stand with.Who is also the enemy of my husband? I roll m

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 12 - Truth and lies ...

    LyraI don’t understand why, but Silas has a very calming effect on me. I got the fright of my life when I opened my eyes, and he was standing there, but it only lasted for a moment. It even feels normal to make us a couple of sandwiches in the communal kitchen a short while later.Everything comes crashing down on me when we are in the doctor’s room and I hear our baby’s heartbeat. That is when the tears start to flow, and I can’t seem to stop them. Up to that point, I could avoid the fact that I’m having a baby with a man that isn’t my husband.Silas is clinging to the small picture as we walk back to our floor and I smile. I really did get a good guy this time. Which makes me realize that I still haven’t gotten rid of the previous one. I sigh deeply and Silas frowns at me.“I guess I had better get a divorce.” My words send shivers down the back of my spine and I note the slight shocked look in Silas’s eyes.“I didn’t want to push you, but I was going to suggest it. I would like us

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 13 - That bastard!

    LyraI catch a glimpse of Ben as he discreetly moves away, and I frown as I look at Silas. I’m not happy about having guards again, but I can understand why he is so protective.“I take it that you had fun.” I really wish I was one of them. I can just imagine the freedom they must feel. The power to be able to run at those speeds.“Yeah, running is always fun. Are you okay? Do you need anything?” He frowns, and I’m surprised yet again by how attentive he is. Eli was never this attentive, but it could just be because I’m pregnant. I shake my head, and we just sit there in silence for a couple of minutes while the pack chats about the run.“Time to go to bed. You need your rest.” After most of them have dispersed, Silas gets up and holds out his hand for me.“What if I don’t feel like …” I yawn, making him smile, and I roll my eyes as I take his hand. “Okay fine. I’ll go to bed.” I’m not showing yet, but I can feel that my body is changing. I’ve been really tired the past two days, and

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 14 - Silly werewolf rules!

    Lyra“I’m sorry! I don’t even know why I’m crying.” I find my voice after Silas hands me a box of tissues. Wiping my face, I realize that I must look awful, but he sits down beside me looking so concerned that I completely forget about what I might look like.“It’s okay. I’ve told you. You are safe here.” Silas frowns. “I’m the one that should be sorry. I was just so excited that I didn’t think of how that kind of news might hurt you.”“I don’t want it to, but it does.” I shrug and sigh deeply, feeling a bit awkward under the circumstances. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt your meeting. We can have our lesson when you have some time.” I’m about to get up when his hand softly grips my arm.“You can never interrupt me. Besides, we have something important to discuss.” I see a lot of emotions cross his eyes as he seemingly tries to find the words to say whatever it is that he has to say. I patiently wait.“I want us to sign a contract. One that will protect both our rights. With re

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 15 - Calling Eli ...

    Lyra“I’m so damn sick and tired of this!” I pull away from Silas. “What is it with werewolf men? Women aren’t porcelain dolls, you know? We actually know how to take care of ourselves.” I glare at him feeling furious.“I know that.” He sighs. “I just meant that as the alpha of the pack, it is my duty to request your transfer. That is the law.” I can swear that I see a smile start to form in the corners of his mouth, but he looks away for a moment and when he looks at me again, it’s gone.“Oh. Fine.” I sigh feeling really silly. “It doesn’t change the fact that your laws are really stupid.” I puff and he laughs this time. “How long do you think all of this will take?” I frown.“We can find that out right now.” Silas smiles and makes his way around his desk. He picks up the phone and calls Eli. I recognize the voice of that traitorous woman instantly, and I have to fight the urge to scream at her when she tells Silas that Eli is busy and will call back.It’s hardly five minutes later w

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 16 - Myth or fact?

    LyraImages of that first night flood my mind when Silas takes off his t-shirt and I can see his muscles move. My insides pull together tightly, and all I can think about is feeling him inside me. His hands slip over my body and within minutes we are naked on the couch.His kisses literally burn my skin, and I note that I can smell things I have never smelled before. It is as though Silas has woken something inside me, or it could just be my imagination. When he slides between my legs, I moan and when he enters me, I feel as if I’m being transported to a wonderland of feelings.I have no idea how long it lasts, but each move is indescribable. Each touch sends me spiraling into bliss. When we finally reach our climax, I cry out his name and the moment we stop, I feel my cheeks burn. Honestly, I never knew it could be like that.My fear, however, is that I might be looking and sounding like a very inexperienced lover, and I don’t know if that is such a good thing. It’s probably what mad

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 17 - Shacking up ...

    LyraI don’t have a lot of time to ponder the possibility that I might be a Lycan when we get news that Eli is at Silas’s border. What could he possibly be doing here? I look at Silas and he sighs. He lets Eli cross the border, but under strict rules to guard them carefully.I feel uncomfortable the moment Eli walks into Silas’s office. My mind is still on what Silas told me. Who I could possibly be. It makes me wonder if Eli knows. Has he known all along? Is that why he basically chased after me?“So, you did decide to shack up with him?” Eli growls, but for once, I’m not affected by it. I keep his gaze. Nobody is ready to take a seat and discuss why Eli decided to show up here uninvited. “Your silence says it all.” His fury flashes and in an instant, Silas is standing between me and Eli.“What do you want, Eli?” Silas growls, and I feel how thick the tension is in the air. Eli tries to sidestep Silas, but Silas is too fast for him.“I came to speak to my wife alone. I don’t trust yo

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 18 - I'm a Lycan!

    LyraI can’t bring myself to tell Silas why I’ve been so sick. It’s not just morning sickness. According to the doctor, it could be because of stress. I can’t tell Silas that I’m stressed out because he will try to fix it. He seems the type that would just take over and try to fix things.The doctor wants to keep me overnight with a drip to make sure I get something in, and after a good night’s sleep, I wake up in the morning to find Silas fast asleep on the only chair in the room. He is still holding my hand and I can’t help but smile.How did I get so lucky? I wonder as I watch the sleeping man beside me. Even if he never loves me. He is handsome, and he seems kind. He is also strong, and won’t just let anyone walk all over him. The best part of it all is that we are going to share a child, which means I know that my baby will be taken care of.“Good morning, beautiful.” His voice interrupts my thoughts and I giggle when I see the crinkles on his cheek from the sheet. “How are you f

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 111 - Alpha Noah's son!

    EsmeLunar and Summer are the light of my life. Lunar just doesn’t want a mate, which kind of drives me a little insane. He is the heir. He should have a mate and procreate.“The boy is still young, my love. His opinions will change as he grows older. Give him time.” Gabriel comes to his son’s defense. “Males are usually a little older than their mates.” Gabriel always distracts me as he pulls me into his arms and my darling Lunar escapes the conversation.Summer, on the other hand, planned for her mating ceremony from the moment she could walk. Everything was planned to the last detail before she even turned sixteen. Summer has a thick file that contains everything she wants for the day, and it is literally growing by the day.“You do realize that this is not going to be a human wedding, my dear?” I sigh each time she shows me what else she found. Summer would just roll her eyes at me, and continue. All Gabriel has to say about our daughter’s flights of fancy is that she has to remem

    EsmeOver the coming weeks, the gossip about Jason and Camile eventually die down as life at the pack house becomes very busy. It’s Gabriel’s birthday soon, and I want to have a huge party and invite everyone. Literally everyone.My hope is that a celebration will pull everyone out of the slump we’ve all seemed to be in. It’s very rarely that a one pack member kills another, which has kind of forced a dark cloud of depression over our entire county.Gabriel’s birthday finally arrives and everyone seems to be having a good time. I can literally feel the doom and gloom lift as the evening continues and even Gabriel, who very rarely smiles when others are around, is laughing.His birthday party is exactly what we all need, and I can feel it in the air. Once his birthday is over, however, I feel a little lost. There was total chaos while I was trying to arrange everything and now that I spend my time on what are my normal duties as Luna, I find myself wandering around the house aimlessly

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 109 - A sad ending to two sad lives.

    EsmeOver the coming days, there is a lot of back and forth of information, and it’s clear that Jason killed Camile. The only question that nobody seems to be able to answer is why. They didn’t have the perfect friendship, but I just couldn’t see why Jason thought killing Camile would solve anything.The day the trial starts, the square at my old pack house is packed with people wanting to find out what happened. I hear people whispering, and it seems everyone believes that Jason is guilty. It still astounds me that nobody is asking why.I listen to the court case, which is pretty straightforward, and I watch as the video footage they got from us is played. The entire time, Jason keeps his head low and I have to admit, although not out loud, that I’m surprised.He was never the kind of guy to just keep quiet when he was accused of anything. After two days, the trial is over and my cousin announces that he will have his final decision about Jason’s fate in a couple of days.People disp

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 108 - A horrific morning after ...

    EsmeMom and I are in my office discussing my ideas when Gabriel and my dad walk in looking very grim. I frown, tilting my head to one side and wondering what on earth could have gone wrong so early.“Esme, we have some bad news.” Gabriel sighs and then looks at my dad before they sit down in my little lounge area in my office.“Camile is dead, honey.” My dad sounds hesitant, and I just stand there gaping at them like a fish out of water for a moment. “Jason has been arrested.” Shock runs through my body, but deep down, I kind of expected that last part.I sit down beside my mom feeling dizziness suddenly hit. I might not have been that close to them in recent months, but for a long time, they were the only friends I had. I just process what I have been told while my dad gives me the gory details they just heard from my uncle.“We don’t have to go to the funeral if you don’t want to go.” Gabriel sighs when my dad is done, and I just sit there in shock. Mom hands me a drink and I reali

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 107 - A beautiful night ...

    EsmeWe do the rounds and spend just enough time with each group so that nobody will feel left out. The only group I have a problem with is my old friends. The first thing I notice is that Camile isn’t there. I’m not sure if she decided not to come to the ceremony, or if she just isn’t there right now.“We can’t avoid them, my love, but I can make an excuse for you if you like.” Gabriel pulls me closer and kisses my cheek.“No, I want all of them to see how happy I am.” I look into his eyes and smile before we make our way over to the group of people my age. At first, everything is incredibly uncomfortable, but Gabriel has this way of just making people feel comfortable.The only one that doesn’t seem to relax is Jason. He keeps glaring at Gabriel, and I just know that is never going to change. Jason will just have to accept that his mate is a lower-ranked wolf. We don’t stay as long as we did with the other groups and I breathe a sigh of relief as soon as we are away from all of them

  • Moonlit Betrayals   Chapter 106 - Mated.

    EsmeThe day of the ceremony isn’t any better! I’m woken in the early hours of the morning and the omegas quickly start to move my things to my new bedroom. I’m a little disappointed when I walk into our room and I can smell that Gabriel had been there just moments ago.It smells of soap and I know he has taken a shower. I really want to see him before the ceremony. I need to see him, but my mom keeps telling me that it’s bad luck. My anxiety slowly builds as the day is spent on waxing and whatever is needed to make me look pretty.Right before I put on my dress, I’m completely freaking out, and I lock myself in the bathroom. My mind is all over the place. I know I want to be with Gabriel. I don’t understand the anxiety all of a sudden. I am sitting on the floor when I hear his footsteps coming closer.“Esme, it’s me.” He softly knocks on the door and I can feel it. The floor was cold, and I hoped that sitting on it would just calm my anxiety a little. I lean against the door and try

    Esme“But this house is too big for two people? Where does everyone else stay?” I feel incredibly confused as he climbs the stairs with me in his arms. He stops before the door and looks into my eyes.“It’s big enough for our family. Now, will you give me a moment to welcome you to your new home before the pack arrives.” He grins and I nod. I have a lot of questions, but they can wait for now. He steps over the threshold and I burst out laughing.“Welcome home, my love.” He kisses my forehead and I slowly turn around. I gasp at the sight of it. The house is filled with what looks like only the best. The enormous grand staircase is clearly the centerpiece in the foyer.I note as Gabriel takes me on a tour that the materials used to make the furniture wasn’t cheap. The chairs look like they have been handcrafted out of wood. The cushions are covered in thick lush velvets and the curtains draped in front of the windows look heavy.The bottom floor consists out of the kitchen, a dining ro

    Esme“Mom, are you okay with all of this?” I put some of the living room things down on the coffee table while she wraps them and puts them into the box.“All what, honey?” She stops wrapping and frowns at me. I sit down beside her trying to find just the right words. That is really difficult to do when you haven’t gotten along with your mother for most of your life.“Moving to a new pack. Me being mated.” I shrug, hearing the hesitation in my own voice and knowing that she is going to hear it.“Well, honey …” She sits back and studies me for only a moment. “Are you okay with all of this? That is really the big question. None of this makes sense if you aren’t okay with it.” She frowns.“Yeah, I’m okay with it.” A shy smile starts to form, and my cheeks turn bright red.“Then we are all okay with it. The time has come for your brother to take over, which means we won’t have much to do around here.” Mom shrugs and carries on wrapping. “Hey, did you get your robes for graduation yet?” Th

    Esme“I … Uhm …” I look from mom to dad to Gabriel, and I’m at a complete loss for words for the first time in my life. Honestly, it’s been nice to have Gabriel there, but I’ve been so focused on just trying to get through the exams that I kind of didn’t think about leaving with Gabriel.“I think we should get through graduation first before any of us make any plans to move.” Gabriel saves the day and I literally breathe a loud sigh of relief, making them all laugh at me. Later in the evening, after dinner, Gabriel and I walk out to the lake.As we get into the cool water, I think how this could be the last time I ever see this lake. I will come to the pack territory to visit my brother, but I can’t imagine us coming here to swim. My next week is going to be filled with finding a dress for graduation and all that, so I can’t see us coming out here.We swim out in silence, each trapped in our thoughts.
