Odd guest and g-string

My husband had not returned from his quick drink. It was a few minutes before 8:30. I couldn't call his cellphone because he left it in the bedroom, so I sent an omega to go get him.

They didn't find him at the mini bar where I assumed he would be. Maybe he'd gone into his study to do a bit of work.

It was hard to understand how a playboy could so quickly turn serious about life in general. He became a workaholic right after we got married. Whenever I thought about it, I felt proud of myself that I'd inspired such a good change in him. Not everyone could turn a ladies' man into a serious businessman.

However, I got frustrated sometimes with the fact that took the business far more seriously than our marriage. Granted, ours was an arranged union, but I expected to be a priority in his life. I was his mate and wife. And today was very special. How could he think to work?

With my pretty dress and makeup, I left the room to go fetch him from his study by myself, snatching his suit jacket on the way out. I'd taken a few steps when he appeared from the corner of the hallway.

He saw the disapproval in my eyes and smiled,

"I was on my way, babe."

"No work or business today, Liam, you promised me."

He came to kiss me on the cheek. "Sorry. Won't happen again. But you know running a pack isn't easy, Luna Keira."

"What does that mean?" He made these type of comments occasionally. It always touched a nerve. "You sound like you're running the pack alone."

A weird expression crossed his features, but he quickly smiled again and said,

"You have to admit, I do more."

Before I could reply, he dropped another light kiss on my lips. "Just pulling your legs, Kiki. C'mon, let's go renew our vows."

I found it charming whenever he shut me up with a kiss. And he always did that after such comments. I had a pack to run and refused to fight with my husband over silly things, so I always let it go quickly.

I was Luna. Not just the co-leader, but the one with alpha blood between the two of us. While, he was first born son of a warrior, I inherited the pack and the winery from my late father, the former Alpha.

In fact, if not for pressure from the elders, I would be probably be single still and ruling the Spring Moon as Luna Keira Gray, sole leader of the pack.

As we reach the entrance, the troubling thoughts moved to the back of my mind. My beloved uncle came to meet us.

"Good morning, Luna and Alpha. Your guests are here. The Chief Elder is waiting to speak the blessings."

Moments later, Liam and I stood before an older werewolf, exchanging our vows afresh. After that, the customary blessings was spoken upon us like the first time.

The grand hall was packed with people. Alphas dignitaries, well-wishers and prominent pack members. More people were still arriving.

I gave the welcome address of thanks. Then Liam and I danced. After the dance, he began giving a toast, when someone strode in. The person's presence seemed to fill the vast place. He walked like he was entering a bar that he owned. He looked about Liam's age.

From his bearing, I knew he was not just any dignitary. This was an Alpha by blood and rank. Although I'd never seen him before.

The hall went silent. His footsteps were the only sound, though inaudible to an ordinary wolf. His general aura was entirely foreign and imposing.

There was only one Alpha whom I had never met on our side of the country. And that was the notorious, prodigal, lycan son of Alpha Ralph of the Autumn moon. I didn't need to be told that this was him.

My uncle confirmed by going over to offer greetings.

"Alpha Nox, before our very eyes. Welcome! We didn't think you'd make it."

They clasp hands like old friends as my husband called out a greeting too,

"Welcome, Alpha Nox."

I raised a brow at Liam, but he ignored me as the new arrival returned his greeting with a smirk and a nod.

Then, fierce purple eyes moved to me and his smirk gradually faded. An iridescent sparkle emanated from those odd eyes, causing something to stir deep inside me.

It felt like Aria, my wolf, had just moved inside me. No, that wasn't possible. She should be sleeping at this time of the month because of my secret condition. I felt confused and frightened by these feelings.

Quickly, I looked away from the strange beast of a male, terrified that someone could catch me staring at another during my wedding anniversary.

I disliked the guy immediately. Why did he stare at me like that?

I kept my eyes on Liam, who was now giving his toast. He finished in a moment, and the hall erupted in thunderous claps and howls. Then he took a sip from his glass before lowering himself to the chair beside me. I maintained my poise, smiling at my husband like a loving wife should.

The temptation to ask him about our newcomer was strong. But I overcame it, telling myself that it was best to keep my focus off of the stranger. People stopped clapping as a female elder began to give a toast.

Then Liam reached for my hand to squeeze it lovingly.

"Theirs is a beautiful match indeed," said the elder.

Liam's phone made a zzz sound. I gave him a disapproving look because I knew it was work.

"Just a peek," he pleaded silently, then let go of my hand to reach into his pocket.

When he brought out the cellphone, something fell out. A small piece of cloth. Red and silky.

A curious color and a weird fabric for a handkerchief, I thought. We bent down at the same time to pick it up. I reached it first.

Lifting it up, I held it out to see what it was. Hanging on my index finger was a woman's undies. A g-string.

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The first dance

    Nox POVLuna Keira Gray. Wife and mate of Alpha Liam Rudd. A twenty-three year old woman who was unavailable. Married! From the panties hanging on her finger and the look on her face, it was clear that she was having a busy life, indeed.Moments ago, when I walked in and our eyes met, my wolf growled,'Mate,' calling out to her.But she'd looked away. I tried to do the same now, looking everywhere else but at her. I failed. She'd acted like she was deaf to her mate's call. Or did she not hear? No, that couldn't be right. She was pretending. Which was Understandable because this was bizarre. How could we be fated?All of her attention was now on the blond werewolf who was her husband and Alpha.A dignitary from the Summer Moon stood in front of me, talking. I tried my hardest to pay attention and offer the appropriate response. Two could play this game, though not for long. Because my focus wavered again, returning to Luna Keira.Her expression was picture of revulsion now as her hus

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Lycan's oblivious mate

    Keira POV At his words, I stopped dancing. Or tried to. His powerful arms and body kept moving, urging us both to the rhythm of the music. "What does that mean? What could there possibly be between us?" I looked around, afraid that someone might have heard. I considered forcing him to stop the dance. Thankfully, nobody had their eyes on us. He could refuse and it was better not to attract attention, so I moved with him. "I would think you're too sophisticated for games, Luna." "What games? I have no idea what you're talking about," I replied calmly. He looked down at me and arched a brow. "Hold on, you think there's something betweeb us because I looked at you? Everyone looked at you when you walked in, Alpha Nox. Does that mean you have something going on with them?" He frowned as though confused, then said in a low voice. "I'm talking about you and me." He was almost inaudible. "I'm talking about what you felt when you laid eyes on me for the first time." I tried to stop

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The empty hallway

    Keira POVThe world stopped when his lips touched mine. I was no longer Keira Gray of the Spring Moon. Neither was I wife and mate to Alpha Liam. I was no one but a woman ready to be claimed by a powerful lycan beast. Not even his taunts could bring me back to my senses as his fangs caressed my lips. My body was at his command. Before I knew it, I was sandwiched between him and the wall as his tongue tangled with mine. Then he began to slow down, his lips freeing mine. Only then did my senses slowly return. What the hell was I doing? Letting another Alpha kiss me in my own home? At my wedding anniversary. I was appalled with myself as I pushed him off of me. His brow creased, and his eyes narrowed as he murmured thoughtfully,"Something's wrong with your wolf.""Get out," I barked breathlessly. "This is an assault. You would love a war, won't you? Get out!"The fact that he just spoke my secret out loud was not as threatening as what he just made me do. Apart from pack elders and L

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Husband's complaint

    Keira POV Though his accusations were true and I should be trying to explain myself, I couldn't help but feel irritated by his tone. He walked very close beside me now. When I didn't acknowledge his complain, he grabbed my arm making me stop. His eyes were bright with annoyance, which surprised me a little bit. The fact that he had just cursed didn't escape my notice. In all the times I'd known him as my partner, he'd never used the F word in front of me. "Yes, Liam," I said. "I reek of another wolf. What did you expect? " He frowned, confusion creasing his smooth face. Yesterday, I may have cared how he felt right now. But things were different today. He was to blame. "I begged you to put work aside for this one morning..." "That doesn't explain the scent all over you, Keira!" I wanted to bark that it does but simply shook my head in exasperation. If he hadn't disappeared, that kiss would not have happened. It was his fault. "Where the hell did you go?" I asked. "I was looki

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The alibi

    "Oh, Uncle. He's not to be trusted!" "Yes, he's lycan, but he's not a bad person, Keira," he replied. "Even if he is, being on our side benefits us greatly, I tell you." I didn't say anything further because I feared that Uncle Felix would sense something and figure out that we kissed. "Now I think you should take a quick shower before Elder Paula or Zoey comes near you. You don't want the latter spreading false rumors or the elder making a case out of nothing." I nodded as he walked off. Then I rushed to quickly wash off before returning to the party. Once I entered the grand hall again, Nox was gone. **** Sometime later, all the guests had left and the servant were cleaning up. I sat by the window of my bedchamber, feeling spent. Good thing the day was finally ending. Liam strode out of the walk-in closet with his eyes on me.We hadn't said a word to each other since my uncle interrupted us. Even though I was the relatively quiet type, one year of marriage must have taught h

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The business visit

    Nox POVThe Pine was Keira Gray's wine company, which she inherited from her father. They were the only wine producers and suppliers in all of the Eastside. Not only do they cater to the needs of all the packs in the region, they also worked and traded with the humans in the surrounding towns. The three story building of the Pine sat by the edge of a hill with a large vineyard and factory behind it. I strolled towards the sliding glass doors, assessing the place with my senses to determine what was going on inside.It was a Monday, so too many people were coming and going. Humans and werewolves were all over the place. Keira may or may not be in there. From Theo's report, she minded the pack while the husband handled the company.Images of last time's kiss filled my mind. Eleven days had gone by since then. It felt like the kiss happened only yesterday even though my wolf was fussing like we hadn't seen her in a year. I still could wrap my head around the facts. Was she pretending n

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Another dream, another longing

    Earlier that day, Keira POV The beast's lips were on mine. My palms laid flat on his firm, muscled chest. Rather than push him away like I meant to, my fingers moved ever so slightly, enjoying the feel of his muscles as his lips teased mine. This was wrong. He was not my husband nor Alpha. Yet I couldn't stop him. I had never been kissed like this before. His hand moved over my bare flesh, making me lose all of my will to resist. His lips began to trail my neck downwards. When he cupped my breast and kneaded it with his thumb, I jerked awake. It was Liam who laid close to me. He licked his lips while watching me with darkened eyes. Then he moved closer to my side of the bed. "Babe," he whispered. "You were dreaming about me, weren't you?" I began to sit up, feeling so ashamed. Did I moan in my sleep? Goddess, I hoped not. He reached out and wrapped his arms around me, dropping a kiss on my shoulder blade. His touch felt intrusive. I gently tried to get out of his embra

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The unfaithful

    My first instinct was to tell him where I was. To get him to meet me at the library in the middle of town. I regained my senses quickly and asked instead, "What do we need to talk about? What do you want?" "Brunch," he replied. "That's all I want for now. Let's meet. I can you pick you up right away." "I'm busy, Alpha Nox. If you have something to say, you can say it over the phone." "We should talk in person." "I'm afraid I can't allow that." "I see. You think I'll try to kiss you again. Look, I'm sorry for my behaviour that day. It was wrong to harass you like that. I was..." he trailed off. My grip on the phone had gotten tighter. I wanted him to go on. Even talking over the phone was nearly as dangerous, I decided. All of my insides tingled at the mere sound of his voice. Maybe I should hang up. "I'm sorry to ambush you like that," he went on. "I shouldn't have kissed you. It was disrespectful. And inconsiderate." I was at a loss for words. He'd just done the resp

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Business and rival

    Nox POVTheo gave me a look that meant that he could see my anticipation and restlessness. I didn't care that it was showing. I looked around the conference room. Everyone else was focused on the projector.Then I stood up, causing the human to pause his presentation. All eyes turned to me in the conference room."Oh, carry on," I said to the guy. "Mister Crowe is right here. Oh, Miss Faust, you may see me briefly for the rest of the introductions.""Yes, sir," she replied, rising eagerly. I preferred Alpha, but for the sake of the few humans in our midst, the wolves referred to me as sir sometimes. It was hard to get used to it. Why in the hell did that good-for-nothing Liam put humans in management? I shook the thought of him off. He was irrelevant now. Keira and I had bonded. Their marriage was already void as far as I was concerned. Now, all that was left was for her wolf to show up and call me Mate.That would happen soon. Her healing had begun. It could even happen before the

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Luna's visitations

    Keira POV After the meal, Nox had to leave to handle pack and business matters immediately. The doctor stuck around, sharing a few jokes about his Alpha and Autumn Moon. I felt much more clear-headed and less shaken after the meal and chit chat. Then I went to look for Uncle Felix, who was also detained as he was a member of the house and one of the few who had direct access to me.Pavlov was with me all the time. As I made my way to meet my uncle, I decided that the person I really wanted to look in the eye was Liam. The one who was my husband for a whole year. I couldn't believe that he had a hand in poisoning me. But then he had the most to gain from keeping my wolf weak and in hibernation.Uncle Felix was detained in one of the cells on the second floor. Other elders were also held in some of the cells. I had no interest in talking to any of them except my blooded relative.I stopped when I reached the door of the cell. The warrior had already opened the small gate for me to g

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Luna's new friends

    Keira POVAt some point, after all the others had gone, Nox left to go oversee some things. I was happy to be alone in the quietness of my thoughts, but his absence brought an emptiness that made my heart ached.After washing up for the evening, I climbed the bed and sat there, thinking about my whole life until I fell asleep. My dreams were bittersweet, but I lost all memories of them the moment I opened my eyes the next day.I had freshened up and was combing my hair when a gentle knock came on the door. I stood up from the dresser as Nox's voice came through,"Keira, it's me. The doctor is here.""Come in," I replied.The door opened, and he walked in with another werewolf. A tall but lanky male around his age. He had warm brown eyes and a friendly air about him. "This is Doctor Jack Servius," Nox said. The male gave a gentle smile and came forward, holding out his right hand."Hi, Luna," he greeted. "We've actually met, but you were asleep then."I raised a brow, and Nox suppl

    Keira POVAs Nox spoke, a calm assurance settled upon me. I couldn't shake off the feeling. His tone rang with intimacy and tenderness. Last night's incident returned to me in the midst of the turmoil as I watched him. I did not feel weird or ashamed about what we did at all. In this moment, it felt right that he was telling me these things. It felt like he was my male, taking care of me. Of course, these thoughts and feelings may all be Aria's. But it only proved that she felt the bond. She recognized him as Mate. If only she would summon the strength to rise and call out to him."You won't put anything in your mouth. You don't touch anything. Until it's cleared!" He said. "Conan and one of mine are checking your room. They have a poison detector.""Conan? My Gamma?""Yes," he replied gently. "He begged to help."Not long ago, I'd considered that he might be an accomplice. But the news of him helping lift my spirit slightly. "How did you know?" I asked him. "You got here before we

    Keira POVTen years ago, I was attacked, and my wolf took ill. My dad didn't stop at torturing all of the warriors on duty that day. One of the warriors went missing before the torturing began. After the heavy interrogation, the other five were demoted to mere guards and not allowed near the main house to date. Two amongst the warriors on duty were still locked up in the dungeon to this day.The culprit was never found. From the chilling news that I had just learned, that evil one was not done with me yet. I sat silently across from the doctors, thinking of all that happened after my accident. The two seemed to be waiting for me to take in the news.My mind continued to shuffle all of the faces I saw often around my house. Then something occurred to me.Rita Glass. My doctor. She was around my age and took over after her father retired four years ago. I'd had my regular checkup with her for the last four years now."How long have you known?" My question was directed at her. Fear

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The hospital visit

    Keira POVI watched Pavlov, checking for any indication that he knew about my attempted treason with Liam. His face remained gentle as he said, "Decide where you'd like to go, and I'll take you there." "I'd like to go to the hospital," I said. "Dandelion. I need to see the doctor." The smile faded from the warrior's face. All expressions vanished. I knew then that I was on track about where to find Liam. He was hospitalized. Of course, he was. "You said I can go anywhere, Pavlov!" I reminded him. "Anywhere but near the former Alpha," he replied. "That's the order.""Uh, I wanna go to the hospital, not to meet him!""He's getting treatment after an... accident last night. Once he's better and they bring him back here, I'll take you to Dandelion." "I'm not going there to see him," I argued. It was partly true. I needed to have Doctor Glass check me out. Surely, she would have something to say about this feeling inside me. The fact that Nox called out my wolf's name yesterday too

    Keira POVNox did not stop as Liam's wolf snarled at us. In spite of the situation before me, I could not prevent my feminine core from tightening around his manhood, let alone push him off me. He slammed into me one last time as he breathed,"Exquisite." His eyes were on Liam, who now charged towards us with claws and fangs hanging out.I rose up, struggling to cover myself with the torn pieces of clothes all around me. Nox pulled out of me, then bared his teeth at the approaching angry wolf.Then he half-shifted. At the same time, Liam lunged at him, but he caught the blow, wrapping one strong hand with thick claws around Liam's throat."Monster! Rãpist!" Liam cursed. His voice was hoarsed as he struggled to breathe while bleeding and healing. And bleeding some more."You forced her." He gritted.I should be trying to put an end to the fight, but I couldn't look at the both of them. Not only that, the fight didn't last longer than a moment. Liam dropped to the floor, panting for b

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The library meet-up

    Keira POVIt was the middle of the night. Pavlov was nowhere near, so was all other Autumn werewolves. At least, it seemed so. I had successfully opened the door and was now out in the hallway. The tiled floor was cool beneath my feet as I tiptoe towards the library. Why had I never thought about that door until today? It was a door that was hardly ever used. I should have snuck through it to the guest quarters many times. After all, the place was not out of bounds to me, like going outside or around the pack.If they had been letting me sit there to read, that meant the door was locked. Or they didn't yet know about it. The latter was unlikely.Well, if it was locked, that shouldn't be a problem as U continued towards the library. I tightened my grip on my tiny pocket knife. Liam and I needed to talk. We had to discuss all the consequences of his plans. Apart from that, I couldn't sleep tonight. I was restless as hell. My body felt different. I felt so not myself ever since Nox t

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The observer

    Nox POVAfter washing up and changing my clothes, I decided to head to my study to do a bit of work for the evening. As I stepped into the hallway, a funny feeling rose inside of me. An omega was just coming out of Keira's room. I had seen the guy a few times, so I walked faster to catch up with him. I didn't miss how pale he got when he saw me coming his way. He looked like he wanted to run away. "Noel, is it?" I asked him. He jumped at the sound of my voice. I could hear the thundering sound of his heartbeat. The stench of his fear filled the whole place, making me slightly nauseous. "Y...yes, Alpha," he stuttered, lowering his head. The signs he gave off proved that Mario was on to something. The new Chief Warrior was observant. He reported that this very omega was the same guy who used to work closely with Liam Rudd. Even now, after the invasion, he stuck close to the guest quarters, running errands and doing chores for some of the "guests." I noted the beads of sweat on
