My Father's Luna is My Mate Chapter 46 : I Give My All To You
**Noah POV"You awake?" Aria asked softly.It was past midnight, and Aria had her head nestled on my chest. I was exhausted and my mind was numb…but I could not sleep. I guess she too was wracked with concern about the events to come."Yeah," I whispered, trailing my fingers through her dark hair. "It seems almost silly to sleep like there's nothing happening.""I know what you mean," she said thoughtfully. "Also, if I close my eyes I'm afraid my dreams will be hijacked by Selene again.""What's it like, to speak to a celestial being?" I asked, still barely able to believe such a thing was even possible."It's…unnerving and exhilarating at the same, like...like being chained to a shooting star," she whispered. "I thought it would be comforting, to have someone powerful watch over you, but it feels more like a target on my back than anything else."I kissed her forehead and rubbed her arm gently. So many times, I had vowed to her that I would protect her, stand by her—and
My Father's Luna is My Mate Chapter 47 : A Cure
**Chris POVI groaned, gritting my teeth as my bones reformed for the thousandth time. My inner beast roared in anguish as it bore the weight of the most dangerous of all knowledge. I felt it pull on my soul, already trying to drag me down to the depths of hell for daring to peer into where mortals are forbidden.I got to my feet unsteadily, holding onto the ancient stone walls for balance. I could do with a rest…but I had no time to waste. The ritual needed to be completed now.I stumbled out of the chamber and called for a pack member who had stood guard outside."You there!" I called. "Ready everyone who is able to fight. We storm the Bergmann territory again; this time, our goal is the Nexus point."The wolf nodded and hurried off to spread the news to the others. I was done being careful, done playing the subtle games of espionage and stealing information. I could not afford to waste any more time trying to win over the territory for myself. That would have to come af
My Father's Luna is My Mate Chapter 48 : I Choose Him
The two packs met on the fields of the conservation land. Weapons were raised and wolves transformed, gnashing their fangs and growling at one another.The Hansen pack's front lines blocked the entrance to the ritual site; it looked like we were going to have to fight our way through to get to Chris, who seemed to not be present amongst his wolves."Chris is probably down in the tunnels already," I said. "We need to get past his vanguard somehow.""Well, we can't exactly open fire," Noah replied. He stepped forward and addressed the Hansen wolves in a clear and commanding voice. "I have no intention to harm any of you!" he said loudly. "I am only here for your Alpha. Let us pass."A young, ashen-haired Hansen pack member stepped forward. "Our Alpha has given us instructions to only let the woman named Aria through," he hollered.I was about to tell Noah that it was fine, that he should just stay here to make sure the Hansen pack didn't cause any problems. But he guessed my in

Chris lay before us, virtually turned to stone.Was that it? Had we finally won? It seemed so surreal that it was actually over. I helped Noah to his feet, giving him support while his wound healed. It did not seem to be that serious, so there was no reason for me to intervene."I should make sure that he's dead," Noah said. "We don't want any more surprises."I nodded in agreement. We stumbled slowly towards Chris's body. Noah tried to kneel down, but was unable to in his current state."I'll do it," I said gently, leaning him against one of the pillars before making my way to Chris.I knelt next to him and placed my fingers on his neck. His body was warm, but there was no pulse. I touched his back and felt no intake of breath. All evidence pointed to him being dead as a doorknob."He's really dead," I sighed, my eyes lingering on Chris, refusing to relax or look away.Noah seemed to still be on edge as well. "Does something not feel quite right to you?" he asked caut

"What happened to that thing?" Noah asked in panic when he regained consciousness, grabbing his gun and pointing it at where Silas had been standing."It's alright," I said gently, placing a calming hand on his arm and allowing healing energy to flow through him. "He and Selene came to...an agreement. He's gone for the time being."I thought about what Selene had said—that my life would ensure everyone's safety. Maybe this had been my calling all along.Shaking my head to clear it, I helped Noah up and hugged him tightly. "Come on, love, let's get out of here.""Wait," he said before we started to exit the damaged chamber. "Chris's body. We need to bring it with us to prove to his pack that he is dead. They might attack us if it looks like we just left."I had hoped to just leave Chris and the entire memory of the situation down here in this cavern, but Noah was right. I sighed and nodded.The two of us heaved Chris's body over our shoulders and carried him back to the surf
My Father's Luna is My Mate Chapter 1 : The Alpha at the Bar
Aria POV"Atlas," I said to the answering machine, "You told me to be at the Scarlet Moon at ten p.m. and it's already 11:55. While I don't mind a drink or two, you know I don't like indulging while I'm working, so please answer me as soon as possible or I'm going to find myself another broker."The last part was a lie and Atlas would know that.The truth was that Atlas was the only broker that someone in my line of work without a proper license that I could trust. He was the absolute best when it came to peddling information and acting as a middle man between service providers and clients.His usual customers were hookers and gang members, both high profile and street level, but he would also help people like me: healers without a license to practice.The cigarette in my left hand burned dangerously close to my fingers as I absentmindedly swirled the contents of my glass in my right hand. The flashing lights, the hovering smoke of cigarettes and drug infused hookah pipes, th
My Father's Luna is My Mate Chapter 2 : Hitching a Ride
Aria POVMy eyes grew wide, my hands froze at my sides, and my heart began pounding."Oh no!" was all that ran through my mind.The way Jared saluted and kneeled before Noah could only mean that he was high-ranking, either military or aristocracy…and I had just bared my fangs and threatened to fight him. I would be taken into custody without question. They would discover that I was practicing healing illegally and my life would be over!"Sir, what is this commotion?" Jared asked Noah respectfully."Bergmann family business, Jared," Noah said, not taking his eyes off me. "This…woman…is in my way."F*ck! Did he just say the Bergmann family? This was definitely not good."Aria!" Jared hissed at me. "Stand down now if you know what's good for you!"I was torn. On the one hand, if I did not move then my life would be over and I'd probably spend the rest of my days rotting in some dingy cell. On the other hand, Tony was my patient, and even as an unlicensed practitioner I had
My Father's Luna is My Mate Chapter 3 : Common Ground
Aria POV"Are you interested in something?" I asked Noah teasingly, subtle revenge for how he had treated me back at the alleyway.Despite my revealing dress to blend in with the nightlife of the red light district, promiscuity was not in my nature. But some part of me was tempted to hike the hem of my dress up a little bit for the man next to me.Get a hold of yourself! I thought to myself."No," Noah replied, his eyes darting back to the road ahead."Didn't seem that way back at the bar," I muttered. "You were very quick to jump to my rescue.""Only because the fight would have been unfair, and man shouldn't fight a woman unless he has good reason," Noah replied coolly."And you had good reason in the alleyway?" I said with equal calmness."You were interfering with my business," he retorted."And what business would that be?" I asked."None of your concern," he whispered.We drove in silence for a while. The atmosphere between us was filled with tension and une

I guess she too was wracked with concern about the events to come."Yeah," I whispered, trailing my fingers through her dark hair.

**Noah POV"Why did you keep all of this a secret from me?" I asked Atlas and my dad angrily.I was in bed, my body aching. Even though Aria had miraculously healed me, coming back from the dead still hurt like a b*tch. My father and Atlas had come to see me after Aria had filled them in on what had happened. She passed out in a deep sleep soon after.At first I was relieved. Then I became angry when I remembered what Aria had told me before Chris had used her to try to kill me."I am the Alpha," I fumed. "You can't just make decisions and then keep them from me!""No offense Noah, but you would have made Chris suspicious had you known what was going on," Atlas said calmly. "You're a pretty pathetic actor.""All of you shouldn't have even done anything! Chris was my battle to fight," I said."Yes, and it would have been a battle you would have lost before it even began," my father grunted. "Chris never had any intention of facing you in Damnatio Memoriae. Surely Aria expl
My Father's Luna is My Mate Chapter 44 : You Are My Pack
"Aria!" Noah yelled, rushing to my side."Don't" I screamed, pushing him away from me. "He's awake! He's going to make me kill you! You should go!""I'm not going anywhere!" Noah said firmly, coming to my aid once more.I screamed in pain as my fingers began to transform into claws against my will. I lunged forward to strike Noah across the face, but he caught my arm just in time."Noah, please," I cried, "either you run away or you have to kill me, because Chris is not going to stop and there's nothing that can break this spell."But Noah stayed, holding my claws at bay. His arms began to quiver and I felt his grip loosen. My arm broke free and was raised to attack again. I grabbed it with my own left hand, pulling it back with all my strength.Noah stumbled backward, looking slightly dazed, like he had been drugged. "What is happening?" he mumbled, swaying dangerously.My left hand began to transform as well. I felt Chris's spell strengthen, taking back control of my bo
My Father's Luna is My Mate Chapter 43 : Escape From the Dungeon
**Aria POVI hurried away, fearing that I might attack Judy and tear her away from Noah without any mercy or regret. How dare she act so casually around him, knowing what she condemned me to, and having taken pleasure in my suffering?It was getting dark outside and the building had begun to empty. The corridors seemed almost deserted.This really was sick of Chris, to place me in such close proximity to Noah. He probably knew how Judith was cozying up to Noah, too, and that I'd have to watch."You there! Intern!" someone called dramatically. I wiped a single tear from my eye and turned around in surprise, only to see Atlas beckoning me. I approached, and he pulled me into an empty cleaning closet."Okay, so I was right!" he exclaimed excitedly. "The ritual site on Bergmann territory is a Nexus point for dark communion. I remember I sold an old map of Romulus to a collector a few years ago which marked all the ancient ritual sites in the area. That collector was Edmund Han

"Atlas, did you file the report on—" Noah paused when he saw me and Atlas. "I did not know you had company."Atlas and I were standing very close to each other as we whispered, so I did not look like just another colleague."Oh, this is not that sort of company," Atlas fumbled. "This is…""…Tessa from IT," I added quickly. Yet another name to add to my growing list. "Mr. Oasis was having some issues with his computer."Noah furrowed his brow. "Huh…I thought you were an expert with tech, Atlas," he said."I said I'm tech savvy," Atlas said. "That does not mean I'm an expert who's not in need of a real expert."As Noah took a casual step forward, his scent suddenly accosted me, wafting into the air, and I was once again ravaged by feelings of intense nausea. Chris's spell still seemed to affect my physical response to Noah's presence."You seem all set, Mr. Oasis," I said, trying not to double over with pain. "Send me those images of the issue just so I can log it in in cas
