Emily,

Exiting the shower, I realised that my clothes were not in the room. I had rushed to the bathroom without thinking, and now I needed something to wear. I glanced around, feeling like an intruder, as I searched for the closet. Despite Alpha Kane granting me the room, it still felt as though I was snooping around, invading someone else's personal space.

Taking a deep breath, I opened the closet door, half-expecting to find it empty. However, to my surprise, it was filled with clothes. A small envelope caught my attention, placed delicately on the stool inside the closet. My name was inscribed on the envelope, and curiosity compelled me to open it. Inside, I discovered a card.

"I hope you like the clothes. I chose them specifically for you. Look beautiful tonight. Kane," the card revealed, causing my cheeks to flush once again. The warmth in my cheeks betrayed my emotions. When was the last time someone had pampered me like this? Alpha Kane was treating me as if I were royalty.

I would say that he's her fated mate, but I don't know if I agree about him being involved in Jake's disappearance. It doesn't add up. Jake challenged him in the past and failed, yet he didn't kidnap Jake or rid of him then, so why now? I say Emily should take her chance, Alpha Kane seems genuine.

    Emily, I could not believe what had just transpired between Kane and me. Even though I had no regrets, I wasn't clear about his intentions, which troubled me. I remained on the couch, feeling awkward and wondering where to go from there. I had just got to the Shadow Moon Pack, and Alpha Kane and I had made out. Was I that quick to give it up? I remembered how things happened between me and Jake and realised I had given my heart away too quickly. I glanced at Kane, noticing the concern etched on his face. Shifting uncomfortably in my seat, I hesitated to leave abruptly, aware that I had initiated this encounter. I had desired him and foolishly expressed my longing, to which he had acquiesced. Unable to comprehend why I had desired him so soon, but I knew that getting burned like this wouldn't be good for my heart. "I am sorry I can't do this," I blurted out, causing him to furrow his brow. "I'm sure you're a remarkable catch, Alpha, but I'm still recovering from a complicated sit

    Kane, When I first laid eyes on Emily, my heart raced like never before. She entered the summit filled with fear and desperation, instantly capturing my attention. Up until then, I hadn't been fully engaged in the presentations of the day. But as soon as she walked in, everything changed. Blade, my loyal wolf companion, sensed my excitement and couldn't contain his joy. His antics threatened to overwhelm me. There was an undeniable effect that Emily had on me, though I couldn't quite explain why. I had never been instantly attracted to someone before, and it piqued my curiosity. However, I noticed the mark of another man on her neck, and I reined in my emotions, realising she was already taken. But then she revealed that he was missing, and strangely enough, I felt relieved. Little did I know it was the infamous Jake. It must have taken immense courage and risk for her to defy the rules and attend the summit. I admired her bravery and audacity. Emily exuded strength despite her fea

  • My Alpha In Shining Armour   13 And The Awkwardness Sets In

    Emily, I spent the night thinking if I had made a mistake. I would lie if I said I wasn't attracted to Kane, but I knew it was too soon, and I believed I had more significant issues than getting cosy with the Alpha. Nia did not let me rest either. It was as if we agreed when I told Kane I did not want to sleep alone, and I reneged. I meant it, but I would be foolish to jump into bed with a man I barely knew. Although his touch was electrifying, and Jake never touched me like that, I needed to be careful and put my people's needs above mine. Lying awake, I scolded myself for my lack of self-control, realising that it had complicated things. I should have ended it before it became as serious as it did. In those moments, I knew that if he had made a move, I might have succumbed to it because my body craved comfort. But at what cost? Now, I found myself contemplating how my future days in the Shadow Moon pack would unfold. There was no doubt that things would be awkward between Kane an

    Emily,I found David, Luis, and Claus waiting at the entrance, appearing somewhat uncomfortable. Our new situation was certainly going to take some adjustment.As I approached them, Luis greeted me with a wide grin."I guess a queen will always be a queen, Luna," he said, winking playfully. I looked away, shaking my head."It's not like that, Luis. He's only doing it to ensure we have representation in the pack since his officers are not fond of us. It's a temporary arrangement," I explained hurriedly, glancing back at him. He nodded, letting the topic fade away."I have something to discuss with you three," I stated, and David led me into their quarters. I was taken aback to see that the place was nicer than I had anticipated. It was a newly constructed building with three separate flats, and I realised that they had been allocated one each but were currently occupying just a single unit.I noticed my luggage boxes in the living area, and gratitude filled me. I asked Claus to assist m

  • My Alpha In Shining Armour   15 A Day As Luna

    Emily After sharing a meal with the beta, I commenced my duties as 'Luna' of the pack. My first task was to visit the orphanage located within our settlement and ensure the well-being of the children residing there. It was disheartening to witness the high number of orphans within the facility. Some had lost their parents, who were once members of the Shadow Moon pack, while others were strays that had found their way onto the territory of the Shadow Moon pack, with no trace of their original packs or families. The orphanage itself was a sight to behold, and the care provided to the children surpassed that received by some pack members living with their own parents. It was undeniable that Alpha Kane possessed a compassionate heart, and the children adored him. However, I could sense their disappointment upon realising that I was the one visiting instead. I later discovered that Alpha Kane was the one who usually graced them with his presence, bearing gifts to uplift their spirits. Un

    Emily,The instant I returned to my room, I undressed and stepped into the shower, feeling the grime from playing with the children cling to my skin.As the dirt washed away, it collected at my feet before vanishing down the drain.I was tired and grateful for the activities. For the first time in a while, I did not have the time to think of my troubles.Refreshed and exhausted, I emerged from the shower unclothed and made the deliberate choice to sleep in the nude. With my door securely locked, I knew I could find solace in the silence and solitude.Settling onto the bed, I gazed up at the ceiling, appreciating the beauty of the room I found myself in. It was a place of comfort that I yearned to call my own, rather than borrowing someone else's.Alpha Kane had proven himself to be a remarkable leader, providing his people with such luxuries. He embodied the qualities of an ideal alpha.Lost in my thoughts, I turned onto my side and pondered what had attracted me to Jake, how he had ma

    Emily, Kane's phone call filled my heart with warmth, evoking the feelings of teenage infatuation all over again. His deep, husky voice and the playful words he spoke had a profound effect on me. If only I were truly unburdened, I would have eagerly accepted his offer and pursued a relationship with him. However, the persistent dark cloud hanging over me served as a constant reminder of my limitations. For the first time, I noticed that the cloud had vanished, replaced by a fluttering of butterflies and an eagerness for Kane's return. It was a delightful sensation that I hadn't experienced in a long time. Despite remaining married to Jake, our marriage had lost its spark long ago. I continued to be with him out of duty, with no other choice. Every day, I told myself that things would improve, but they never did. If I had known then what I know now, I would have heeded my father's advice and maintained a friendship with Jake instead of pursuing a romantic relationship. However, that

    Kane, When my sister informed me about the phone call, I was taken aback by the late hour at which Emily had reached out. It left me both surprised and concerned, as I immediately assumed that something dreadful had occurred. Given Emily's emotional state, my unease only intensified when she failed to answer the call. My worry reached its peak. However, my anxiety subsided when she finally responded the next morning, reassuring me that she was all right. The relief washed over me as I realised she was safe and sound. After concluding my conversation with Emily, I made a decision to depart from Bridgefoot that very day instead of waiting until the following day as originally planned. To be honest, the longing to see Emily again and hold her in my arms was undeniable. Our encounter had left a lasting impression on me. I could sense her reciprocation in the way she responded to my touch, and it seemed like there was a possibility for something more if it weren't for the challenges she

    KaneThe air was tense, thick with a blend of anger and confrontation. Jake's accusing eyes bore into me, his voice carrying the weight of betrayal as he accused me of stealing his mate. The accusation hung in the air like a dark cloud, and I felt my own anger rising, a primal urge to defend what I believed was rightfully mine."I did not consent to the severance," Jake's words cut through the charged atmosphere, his voice dripping with bitterness. "You've broken the law, Kane."My fists clenched instinctively, a fierce desire to lash out and silence him. But before I could even take a step forward, Carlton's firm grip was on my arm, holding me back. My friend's voice was a low, urgent whisper in my ear, "Do not advance, Kane. Look around; there are witnesses now. Don't give them a reason to bear witness against you."My gaze swept over the gathering crowd, the residents of Gaines Village and even the corrupt chief himself, all drawn by the spectacle of our clash.

    KaneRichard's voice cut through the tension, each word he uttered exposing Carlos's web of deception. The veil of loyalty Carlos had worn was torn asunder, and the weight of his crimes hung heavy in the air. It was a stark revelation of how he had collaborated with Jake, locking away his conscience and planning to vanish under the cover of darkness, carrying the spoils of his treachery with him. The pack members' anger roared like wildfire, their collective voices demanding retribution.But amid the clamour for justice, the urgent reality remained that Emily's safety was paramount. Carlos's guilt would be dealt with, but my focus was unwaveringly fixed on finding her. With a determined grip, I took hold of Carlos, forcing him to his knees, my fingers tight around his throat. The anger in me surged, a visceral response to the harm he had inflicted upon me by abducting my mate."Tell me where she is," I growled, the intensity of my stare piercing into him, demanding the truth he could

I had to get to the bottom of this swiftly.Brian and Claus were on standby for the impending interrogation of Michelle.
