Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 94 - What birthday? Why?
EsmeIn the morning, I get up and grab a piece of toast and a sip of juice before I rush out of the house. I normally have breakfast with my parents and almost get to school late, but I just don’t feel like chit-chatting with them at the moment.Besides, I have to get to the library before the first period. I rush into the building and put my stuff down while I search for a specific book. Once I find it, I take a seat and start to make the notes that I need. I put the book down on the reception desk on my way out.I don’t see the foot the moment I walk out, and I go flying again. All around me people are laughing and pointing and all I can think of is if this is the best they have! I get up and grab my things before they get trampled and, without looking back, I rush to get to my locker.“Poor little beta’s girl. She can’t even walk properly.” Jason’s voice echoes down the passage and I roll my eyes. I stuff my things in my locker and slam them shut before glaring at him.“Ah, are you

EsmeMy parents' common sense made absolutely no sense to me at all. I’m grounded and can only go to school and am supposed to come right back home, and then they tell me that I’m skipping school so that I can visit my uncle and discuss my birthday.How on earth do they expect me to follow any rules if they can’t follow the rules themselves?! I have no choice but to meet with my uncle. I follow my parents to his house feeling worse than I did on that night that we were caught.I can feel the eyes on me as we pass pack members. I can’t hear what they are saying, but I can hear them whispering. I nearly laugh out loud when I realize that grown-ups aren’t that different from teenagers. They also gossip like we do.They also bully others like we do. They just call it something different and find creative ways to explain it all away. As we walk into the house, I catch my uncle and aunt’s scents and I wish I didn’t have to be there.We are shown to my uncle’s office and my heart skips a bea

EsmeAll the girls find dresses, but because of my mood, I don’t find one. After my aunt pays, they send everyone else home and my mom and aunt get into our car. We pull out of the parking spot in the small town and I look out of the window at the scenery rushing by.It’s late Friday afternoon, and I’m looking forward to a weekend alone in my doorless room. I plan how I’m going to avoid all the party planning going on at home and only notice that we aren’t going home when we pull onto the freeway.“Where are we going?” I turn my attention to the two women in front of the car, and they look far too amused for my liking.“Your mother and I agreed that none of the dresses in town were fit for a beta female’s eighteenth birthday. We are glad that you didn’t find something you liked because now we can take you to the city to find something special.” My aunt sounds excited and I roll my eyes.I don’t want to tell them that no dress will be able to save my reputation. At least we will be awa

EsmeIn the morning, I get up before my parents and walk out the door just as the sun rises over the ridge. I left a note on the dining room table to let them know that I’ve gone to the library to do some research for school. Now that the alpha order has been lifted, I can leave whenever I want again.I don’t know how my cancelling the party is going to affect our punishment, so I plan on getting as much use out of my freedom as I can before they lock us up again. The school is still locked up when I get there and I find my tree.I sit and read through some of my notes and, half an hour later, I see the janitor opening the side door. I rush over and ask him to please let me in. He doesn’t want to at first, but eventually does. I walk into the library, and he switches on the lights for me.A couple of minutes later, I’m walking down one of the aisles to find the book I have been looking for. I have decided to just get through the rest of this year and get my high school diploma so that

Esme“Sweetheart, we are doing this because you’ve shown that you have changed. Your principal called me earlier today, and he says you are all caught up in your homework. That took some doing according to him. Some of the others haven’t even started yet.” Mom frowns at me as I walk into my room and she follows me.“Well, they aren’t my friends anymore, so you don’t have to worry mom. I’m not going to fall back into trouble and all that. I still have some work to get done before tomorrow.” I walk over to my desk and point at my books.“Esme, we are trying to tell you that we are proud of you.” My dad looks disappointed, and I feel awful, but I can’t help it. The words just slip out of my mouth. I nod to avoid saying something awful again, and I’m relieved when they leave.The moment they close my door, I jump up and open it again. I don’t want them to think that I’m sneaking out. I finish my homework and take a shower before going to bed. The days just flow into each other after that,

Esme“I am Gabriel, and you are Esme the birthday girl. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” He smiles and a shiver of fear mixed with excitement runs up the back of my spine as we move across the dance floor. I’m surprised that Jason isn’t my mate after all, but honestly, I’m relieved.Now Camile can have him. They can live their little gamma lives happily ever after and all that.“I can’t say the same since I don’t know you yet.” The words fly out of my mouth and I see the amused look in his eyes, making me curse the fact that I don’t have one of those dang filters my mother is always talking about!“Okay, then I suggest we get to know each other. You are leaving with me tonight, and I don’t want you telling people that a total stranger kidnapped you or something.” He smiles and his face completely changes. I roll my eyes and feel a slight tap on my bottom, making me lose my step and nearly fall flat on my face.“What the hell was that for?” I softly growl as soon as I regain my composure,

EsmeWe make it to class just as the bell rings and I can see that the teacher isn’t happy to have a male alpha standing in the back throughout his class. I try my best not to focus on that. I need to finish school. I can’t be focusing on being in love.It’s because I was focusing on other things that I got into that big mess in the first damn place. The same thing happens all throughout my day. When lunch finally arrives, I go to my locker and grab my lunch and am ready to go sit under the tree.“Esme, why aren’t we going to the cafeteria?” Gabriel frowns and I sigh deeply. Might as well get it over with now. Once he finds out that I’m a little whatever, he is going to reject me, and then I can get on with my life.“Well, because everyone here hates me.” When I look up, I see Jason. His eyes are filled with anger as he stares at us. Gabriel follows my line of sight and I hear his soft growl the moment he sees Jason looking at us.“Was he your boyfriend?” Gabriel growls louder but sto

EsmeWe return to my house where Gabriel says goodnight and I go to my room feeling conflicted. I want to stay true to myself, but at the same time there is this incredible pull for something else. Something different.“How was your walk?” My dad leans against my door frame with his arms crossed and an amused look on his face.“I showed Gabriel the lake.” I shrug. My mom probably sent someone after us to check on us, so there is no reason to lie.“And? What do you think so far?” Dad pushes away from the door frame and stuffs his hands in his pockets as he slowly walks into my room.“I don’t know dad. How did you know? I mean when you first saw mom. How did you know that it would work out?” It’s probably the kind of question I should be asking my mom, but at the moment we aren’t really on speaking terms, are we?“I guess you can say that I just knew. I felt the pull of the bond. I could see our future together.” He shrugs and sits down on the edge of my bed. I smell my mom before she c

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
Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 110 - An amazing start of two new lives.
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
Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 105 - The enormous mansion!
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
Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 104 - The big move.
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
Moonlit Betrayals Chapter 103 - Preparing for the big move.
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. When Gabriel closes the gap between us, I don’t even notice until he pulls me into h
